[0002] With the rapid development of my country's marine aquaculture industry, the expansion of marine aquaculture from nearshore to offshore and deep-sea areas has become an inevitable trend. In recent years, large-scale truss-type deep-sea aquaculture cages have developed rapidly in my country, which is of great significance for expanding aquaculture areas, reducing environmental pressure, protecting and regulating the structure of marine aquaculture species, and promoting scientific deep-sea aquaculture. However, my country lags behind in the research and development of supporting facilities for cage aquaculture, among which the development of fish harvesting devices for cage aquaculture is one of the key supporting technologies that urgently needs to be solved.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0027] A large net cage fish-catching and gathering device, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the net cage includes a main body 100, which includes a lower annular fixing frame 110 and an upper annular fixing frame 120. The lower annular fixing frame 110 and the upper annular fixing frame 120 are fixedly connected by several sets of equidistantly distributed support columns 130. A side net 140 is installed between each pair of adjacent support columns 130. A cross-shaped fixing frame 150 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower annular fixing frame 110. A bottom net 160 is installed between the cross-shaped fixing frame 150 and the inner side of the lower annular fixing frame 110. A fish-gathering component 200 is provided inside the net cage main body 100, and several collection components 300 are provided on the outer side of the top of the net cage main body 100. The fish-gathering component 200 includes a fixing column 210 fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the cross-shaped fixing frame 150. A drive motor 220 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing column 210. A connecting block 230 is fixedly connected to the output end of the machine 220. A connecting rod 240 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 230. A rotating rod 250 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 240. There are two sets of rotating rods 250 located at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the fixed column 210, and the two sets of rotating rods 250 are fixedly connected by a fixed rod 253. A slider 260 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 250 away from the fixed column 210. Both the lower annular fixed frame 110 and the upper annular fixed frame 120 have annular movable chambers 270 that match the slider 260. The slider 260 is slidably connected to the annular movable chambers 270. A trapping net 280 is installed between the two sets of rotating rods 250. A blocking net 290 is fixedly installed between the inner side of the lower annular fixed frame 110 and the upper annular fixed frame 120 and the outer wall of the fixed column 210.
[0028] When harvesting is needed, the drive motor 220 is started. The output end of the drive motor 220 drives the connecting block 230 and the connecting rod 240 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating rod 250, which is fixed to the connecting rod 240, to start rotating around the fixed column 210 as the rotation center. At this time, the slider 260 slides in the annular movable chamber 270 opened in the lower annular fixed frame 110 and the upper annular fixed frame 120, thereby causing the catching net 280 between the two sets of rotating rods 250 to start rotating stably in the net cage body 100. With the help of the fixed blocking net 290, the activity range of the fish in the net cage body 100 is reduced. With the help of the collection component 300, the harvesting is completed. Through this fish gathering component 200, the harvesting efficiency of the staff is greatly improved, and a lot of labor is saved, saving time and effort.
[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the fixed column 210 are provided with annular grooves, and the upper and lower ends of the annular grooves are provided with sliding grooves. The end of the rotating rod 250 near the fixed column 210 is fixedly connected to a rotating ring 251. The rotating ring 251 is fitted into the annular groove. Several sets of first balls 252 that are equidistantly distributed and match the sliding grooves are installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating ring 251. The first balls 252 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.
[0030] By having the rotating ring 251 fitted into the ring groove and rotating, the stability of the net 280's rotation is improved. At the same time, by setting the first ball 252 to slide in the sliding groove, the friction between the rotating ring 251 and the fixed column 210 during rotation is reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the rotating ring 251 and the fixed column 210 and improving the service life of the device.
[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 As shown, the upper and lower surfaces of the slider 260 are equipped with second balls 261, and the upper and lower ends of the annular movable chamber 270 are provided with annular grooves 271 that match the second balls 261. The second balls 261 are slidably connected to the annular grooves 271.
[0032] By setting the second ball 261 to slide in the annular groove 271, the friction between the slider 260 and the lower annular fixed frame 110 and the upper annular fixed frame 120 is reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the slider 260 and the lower annular fixed frame 110 and the upper annular fixed frame 120, and further improving the service life of the device.
[0033] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the collection component 300 includes an opening on the side net 140, and a fixed frame 310 is fixedly connected to the outside of the opening. A fish guide net 320 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed frame 310 away from the side net 140, and a fish collection box 330 is fixedly installed at the other end of the fish guide net 320. An electric control valve is installed inside the fixed frame 310. There are a total of six sets of openings on the side net 140, of which three sets of openings are located at the upper end of the side net 140 and the other three sets of openings are located at the lower end of the side net 140, and are arranged alternately at the top and bottom. Floats are installed on the outside of the fish collection box 330 and the upper annular fixing frame 120.
[0034] As the catching net 280 rotates inside the main body of the net cage 100, the electrically controlled valves in the upper and lower openings of the main body of the net cage 100 are opened. At this time, the fish living and distributed in the upper layer of the main body of the net cage 100 swim out from the upper opening of the main body of the net cage 100 and enter the fish collection box 330 through the fish guide net 320. Meanwhile, the fish living and distributed in the lower layer of the main body of the net cage 100 enter the fish collection box 330 from the lower opening of the main body of the net cage 100 through the fish guide net 320. On the one hand, the fish are driven into the fish collection box 330, which makes it easier for the staff to catch them and further improves the efficiency of the staff to catch them. On the other hand, it can achieve the effect of stratified catching, thereby improving the survival rate of live fish. The fish collection box 330 and the main body of the net cage 100 float on the sea surface by buoys.
[0035] In use, the drive motor 220 is started, and the output end of the drive motor 220 drives the connecting block 230 and the connecting rod 240 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating rod 250 fixed to the connecting rod 240 to start rotating around the fixed column 210 as the rotation center. At this time, the slider 260 slides in the annular movable chamber 270 opened in the lower annular fixed frame 110 and the upper annular fixed frame 120, thereby causing the catching net 280 between the two sets of rotating rods 250 to start rotating stably in the net cage body 100. With the help of the fixed blocking net 290, the activity range of the fish in the net cage body 100 is reduced. With the help of the collection component 300, the harvesting is completed. Through this fish gathering component 200, the harvesting efficiency of the staff is greatly improved, and a lot of labor is saved, saving time and effort. The parts not mentioned in this device are the same as or can be implemented by existing technology.
