Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture cage technology, and in particular to a modular aquaculture cage connection device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the marine cage aquaculture industry, large-scale aquaculture has become a trend, which requires the combination of multiple aquaculture cages to expand the aquaculture space. Traditional cage assembly methods mostly rely on screws for fixing. This method requires a lot of time and manpower to tighten the screws during installation, and it also requires highly skilled operators, resulting in low installation efficiency.

[0003] When net cages need to be replaced or maintained, disassembling the screws not only requires specialized tools and is a cumbersome process, increasing aquaculture costs, but also lacks flexibility in the screw fixing method, making it difficult to quickly adjust the splicing layout of the net cages and adapt to dynamic changes in aquaculture scale and species. To address these issues, we propose a modular deep-sea aquaculture net cage connection device for aquaculture. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a modular aquaculture cage connection device for aquaculture.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A modular aquaculture cage connection device for aquaculture includes two interconnected aquaculture cage bodies. A first support plate is fixed to one side of each aquaculture cage body, and a second support plate is fixed to the other side of each aquaculture cage body. An insert block is inserted into one side of the first support plate, and the insert block is inserted into the second support plate. The two aquaculture cage bodies are attracted to each other. Two fixing blocks are fixed to one side of the upper end of each aquaculture cage body. A limiting mechanism is provided through the upper end of the two fixing blocks. The limiting mechanism corresponds to the insert block. A lifting structure is connected to the upper end of the limiting mechanism. A reinforcing mechanism is connected to one side of the two fixing blocks. The reinforcing mechanism is connected to the lifting structure.

[0007] Preferably, a magnetic block is fixed to one side of the lower end of the aquaculture cage body, and the magnetic blocks on the same side attract each other.

[0008] Preferably, each of the four corners on one side of the aquaculture cage body is provided with a insertion hole, and each of the four corners on the other side of the aquaculture cage body is fixed with a insertion rod, and the four insertion rods on the adjacent side are inserted into the four insertion holes on the adjacent side.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod that passes through two fixed blocks, a slot is provided on one side of the second bearing plate, an adjacent plug is inserted into an adjacent slot, the plug is provided with two first limiting holes, the slot and the second bearing plate are provided with two second limiting holes, and a limiting rod on the same side passes through one first limiting hole and one second limiting hole on the same side.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting structure includes a U-shaped pull rod fixed to the upper end of two limiting rods, a pull plate fixedly fitted on the U-shaped pull rod, a spring abutting the upper end of the pull plate, and two springs sleeved on both sides of the U-shaped pull rod.

[0011] Preferably, the reinforcement mechanism includes a folding frame rotatably connected to one side of the fixing block, an mounting block rotatably connected to the upper end of the folding frame, a connecting plate fixed to the upper ends of the two mounting blocks, a fixing tube fixed to the lower end of the mounting block, the upper end of the spring abutting against the lower end of the fixing tube, and the U-shaped tie rod passing through the fixing tube, the mounting block and the connecting plate.

[0012] In this utility model, when in use:

[0013] 1. Assembly process

[0014] First, pull the U-shaped lever upwards, keeping the spring compressed. Under the action of the spring and the pull plate, the limiting lever will remain in an upward position. Then, bring the two adjacent aquaculture cages closer together, so that the four corners of one aquaculture cage body are inserted into the corresponding holes at the four corners of the other side of the adjacent aquaculture cage body. This initially positions the two cages relative to each other, and the magnetic blocks provide initial positioning and reinforcement. At the same time, the blocks on the first support plate will insert into the slots of the second support plate. Release the U-shaped lever to release the spring and return it to its normal state. Under the action of the spring and the pull plate, the limiting lever will move downwards, passing through the first and second limiting holes, fixing the blocks in the slots, thus completing the splicing of the two aquaculture cage bodies.

[0015] 2. Disassembly process

[0016] Pull the U-shaped lever upwards. The U-shaped lever moves the pull plate upwards, compressing the spring. At the same time, the U-shaped lever moves the limiting rod out of the corresponding first and second limiting holes, releasing the limiting of the insertion block. Move the aquaculture cage body to one side, moving the insertion rod out of the insertion hole and the insertion block out of the slot, completing the separation of the two aquaculture cage bodies. As needed, tarpaulins or protective boxes can be set around the fixed block, folding frame, and connecting plate to further enhance their protection and reduce sea wind erosion.

[0017] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Compared with the traditional screw fixing method, the splicing and disassembly process of this connecting device does not require special tools, and the operation is simple and quick, which greatly saves time and labor costs. In large-scale cage aquaculture projects, the installation and layout adjustment of cages can be completed quickly, improving aquaculture efficiency.

[0019] 2. Through the cooperation of the insertion rod and the insertion hole, the cooperation of the insertion block and the slot, and the adsorption effect of the magnetic block, plus the limiting rod, the connection between the two aquaculture cages is more firm and stable, which can withstand the impact and fluctuation of seawater and ensure the normal use of the aquaculture cages.

[0020] 3. This connecting device makes the splicing layout of aquaculture cages more flexible. The splicing method and number of cages can be adjusted at any time according to aquaculture needs and site conditions to adapt to different aquaculture scales and aquaculture species.

[0021] In summary, the splicing and disassembly process of this utility model does not require the use of special tools, and the operation is simple and quick, greatly saving time and labor costs. In large-scale cage aquaculture projects, the installation and layout adjustment of cages can be completed quickly, improving aquaculture efficiency. At the same time, it can withstand the impact and fluctuation of seawater, ensuring the normal use of aquaculture cages. In addition, the splicing method and quantity of cages can be adjusted at any time according to aquaculture needs and site conditions to adapt to different aquaculture scales and species.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 A modular aquaculture cage connection device for aquaculture includes two interconnected aquaculture cage bodies 11. A first support plate 13 is fixed to one side of the aquaculture cage body 11, and a second support plate 17 is fixed to the other side of the aquaculture cage body 11. An insert block 12 is inserted into one side of the first support plate 13 and is inserted into the second support plate 17. The two aquaculture cage bodies 11 are attracted to each other. Two fixing blocks 3 are fixed to one side of the upper end of the aquaculture cage body 11. A limiting mechanism is provided through the upper end of the two fixing blocks 3. The limiting mechanism corresponds to the insert block 12. A lifting structure is connected to the upper end of the limiting mechanism. A reinforcing mechanism is connected to one side of the two fixing blocks 3. The reinforcing mechanism is connected to the lifting structure. Compared with the traditional screw fixing method, the splicing and disassembly process of this connection device does not require the use of special tools. The operation is simple and quick, which greatly saves time and labor costs. In large-scale cage aquaculture projects, the installation and layout adjustment of the cages can be completed quickly, improving aquaculture efficiency.

[0030] A magnetic block 15 is fixed on one side of the lower end of the aquaculture cage body 11. The magnetic blocks 15 on the same side attract each other. The magnetic attraction not only makes the connection firm, but also makes the operation relatively simple during installation and disassembly, which can adapt to the needs of the aquaculture environment.

[0031] The four corners of one side of the aquaculture cage body 11 are provided with insertion holes 14, and the four corners of the other side of the aquaculture cage body 11 are fixed with insertion rods 10. The four insertion rods 10 on the adjacent side are inserted into the four insertion holes 14 on the adjacent side, which facilitates the four corners to be reinforced.

[0032] The limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod 4 that passes through two fixed blocks 3. A slot 18 is provided on one side of the second bearing plate 17. An adjacent plug 12 is inserted into an adjacent slot 18. The plug 12 is provided with two first limiting holes 16. The slot 18 and the second bearing plate 17 are provided with two second limiting holes 19. A limiting rod 4 on the same side passes through a first limiting hole 16 and a second limiting hole 19 on the same side. The function of the limiting mechanism is to firmly fix the plug 12 in the slot 18, thereby further enhancing the connection strength between the two aquaculture cage bodies. The limiting rod 4 is made of corrosion-resistant metal material, such as stainless steel, to adapt to the humid environment of aquaculture and extend the service life of the device.

[0033] The lifting structure includes a U-shaped pull rod 5 fixed to the upper end of the two limiting rods 4. A pull plate 9 is fixedly fitted on the U-shaped pull rod 5. The upper end of the pull plate 9 abuts against a spring 8, and the two springs 8 are sleeved on both sides of the U-shaped pull rod 5. The lifting structure is designed to facilitate the operation of the limiting rods 4 by the operator. By lifting the U-shaped pull rod 5, the up and down movement of the limiting rod 4 can be controlled to limit and release the insertion block 12. The elastic coefficient of the spring 8 needs to be reasonably selected according to the actual use. It should be able to provide enough elastic force to move the limiting rod 4 down to fix the insertion block 12, and also ensure that it is not too difficult to lift the U-shaped pull rod 5.

[0034] The reinforcement mechanism includes a folding frame 2 rotatably connected to one side of the fixed block 3. The upper end of the folding frame 2 is rotatably connected to a mounting block 6. The upper ends of the two mounting blocks 6 are jointly fixed to a connecting plate 1. The lower end of the mounting block 6 is fixed to a fixing tube 7. The upper end of the spring 8 abuts against the lower end of the fixing tube 7. The U-shaped tie rod 5 passes through the fixing tube 7, the mounting block 6 and the connecting plate 1. The reinforcement mechanism further enhances the stability of the entire connection device. Furthermore, through the design of the folding frame 2, it can adapt to the deformation of the cage under different working conditions to a certain extent, thereby improving the reliability of the device. The rotatable connection part of the folding frame 2 adopts a bearing structure to reduce friction during rotation and make the operation smoother.

[0035] In this utility model, when in use:

[0036] 1. Assembly process

[0037] First, pull the U-shaped lever 5 upwards, keeping the spring 8 in a compressed state. Under the action of the spring 8 and the pull plate 9, the limiting lever 4 is kept in an upward position. Then, bring the two adjacent aquaculture cage bodies 11 closer together, so that the inserts 10 at the four corners on one side of one aquaculture cage body 11 are inserted into the corresponding inserts 14 at the four corners on the other side of the adjacent aquaculture cage body 11. This initially positions the relative positions of the two cages. The magnetic block 15 provides initial limiting and reinforcement. At the same time, the insert 12 on the first support plate 13 is inserted into the slot 18 on the second support plate 17. Release the U-shaped lever 5, release the spring 8, and put it in a normal state. Under the action of the spring 8 and the pull plate 9, the limiting lever 4 moves downwards, passing through the first limiting hole 16 and the second limiting hole 19, fixing the insert 12 in the slot 18, thus completing the splicing of the two aquaculture cage bodies 11.

[0038] 2. Disassembly process

[0039] Pulling the U-shaped lever 5 upwards causes the lever 9 to move upwards, compressing the spring 8. Simultaneously, the U-shaped lever 5 moves the limiting rod 4 out of the corresponding first limiting hole 16 and second limiting hole 19, releasing the limiting of the insert block 12. The aquaculture cage body 11 is then moved to one side, and the insert rod 10 is moved out of the insertion hole 14, and the insert block 12 is moved out of the slot 18, completing the separation of the two aquaculture cage bodies 11. As needed, tarpaulins or protective boxes can be installed around the fixed block 3, folding frame 2, and connecting plate 1 to further enhance their protection and reduce sea wind erosion.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
