Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Example:

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the embodiments of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0030] It should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0033] This utility model provides a convenient and mobile marine ranching platform, which includes a platform body 1 and a first thruster. The platform body 1 is provided with a number of columns 2. The columns 2 are arranged around the perimeter of the platform body 1 and adjacent columns 2 are connected by netting 3 to form aquaculture cages. The first thruster is detachably connected to the column 2 at the rear end of the platform body 1 through a connector. The first thruster is used to drive the platform body 1 forward.

[0034] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Compared to traditional offshore platforms with fixed propulsion devices, the first propeller of this marine ranching platform is detachable. When the platform body 1 does not need to be moved, the first propeller can be removed, thus preventing the material from aging due to prolonged immersion in the sea and avoiding the accumulation of marine organisms that would increase drag and reduce propulsion efficiency. Simultaneously, the aquaculture cage is formed by installing netting 3 between the columns 2. When aquaculture is not needed, the netting 3 can be removed, offering high flexibility. Furthermore, the connecting components can be a combination of a fixing plate and bolts, with the fixing plate welded to the column and the first propeller fixed to the fixing plate via threaded connections between the bolts and threaded holes in the fixing plate; or a combination of a fixing pipe and a ring, with the fixing pipe welded to the column and the first propeller fixed to the fixing pipe via a snap-fit ​​connection between the ring and the fixing pipe.

[0035] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a second thruster is also included. The second thruster is detachably connected to the side of the column 2 at the front end of the platform body 1 via a connector. The second thruster is used to drive the platform body 1 to turn.

[0036] Specifically, see again Figure 1 and Figure 2 To facilitate turning when the marine ranch platform moves, a second thruster is installed on the side of the frontmost column 2 of the platform body 1. When a right turn is needed, the second thruster on the left side of the platform body 1 is activated, and when a left turn is needed, the second thruster on the right side of the platform body 1 is activated.

[0037] In the above embodiment, a ballast tank 4 is further provided inside the column 2. The buoyancy of the platform body 1 can be achieved by adjusting the ballast water volume in the ballast tank 4.

[0038] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the column 2 at the front end of the platform body 1 has a protrusion 5, which is arranged in the forward direction of the platform body 1 and is triangular in shape. This shape of the protrusion 5 can reduce resistance when the marine ranching platform moves forward.

[0039] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the first thruster includes a first upper thruster 6 and a first lower thruster 7. The first upper thruster 6 is disposed near the top of the aquaculture cage, and the first lower thruster 7 is disposed near the bottom of the aquaculture cage. When the ballast tank 4 is filled with ballast water, the aquaculture cage submerges below the waterline, and the platform body 1 is driven forward by the first upper thruster 6. When the ballast tank 4 releases ballast water, the aquaculture cage floats above the waterline, and the platform body 1 is driven forward by the first lower thruster 7. The first thruster of this marine ranching platform has a double-layer design. When the main body of the platform 1 is in the aquaculture state (the aquaculture cage is submerged below the waterline), if it is necessary to move the marine ranching platform, the first upper thruster 6 is installed on the top of the aquaculture cage (near the operating waterline) to drive the marine ranching platform forward. When the main body of the platform 1 is in the non-aquaculture state (the aquaculture cage is above the waterline), if it is necessary to move the marine ranching platform, the first lower thruster 7 is installed on the bottom of the aquaculture cage (near the towing waterline) to drive the marine ranching platform forward.

[0040] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the second thruster includes a second upper thruster 8 and a second lower thruster 9. The second upper thruster 8 is positioned near the top of the aquaculture cage, and the second lower thruster 9 is positioned near the bottom of the aquaculture cage. When ballast water is injected into the ballast tank 4, the aquaculture cage submerges below the waterline, and the platform body 1 is driven to turn by the second upper thruster 8. When ballast water is released from the ballast tank 4, the aquaculture cage rises above the waterline, and the platform body 1 is driven to turn by the second lower thruster 9. The second thruster of this marine ranching platform is a double-layer design. Depending on the state of the platform body 1 (aquaculture state or non-aquaculture state), the corresponding second upper thruster 8 or second lower thruster 9 is selected for turning when the marine ranching platform needs to move.

[0041] In summary, by adjusting the buoyancy of the main body 1 of the platform through ballast tanks and coordinating with the external thrusters according to the position of the waterline, the marine ranch platform can navigate better and more conveniently when it needs to be relocated.

[0042] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a solar photovoltaic panel 10 is installed on the top of the aquaculture cage via a bracket 11. Furthermore, this marine ranching platform can also generate electricity using solar energy by connecting the solar photovoltaic panel 10 to an energy storage device, thereby storing excess electricity and alleviating the deep-sea energy supply problem to some extent.

[0043] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the mesh 3 is made of polyester, polyethylene, or a copper alloy. Polyester mesh 3 exhibits good corrosion resistance and aging resistance, making it suitable for deep-sea environments. Polyethylene mesh 3 possesses excellent abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance; furthermore, an antifouling coating can be sprayed onto it to enhance its resistance to fouling and biofouling. Copper alloy mesh 3 exhibits high strength and abrasion resistance, as well as excellent corrosion resistance, antifouling and biofouling resistance, and anticondensation properties. The main principle is that the chemical interaction at the copper / seawater interface releases copper ions and other alloying elements with bactericidal effects, thereby inhibiting the attachment of microorganisms and aquatic organisms.

[0044] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the column 2 is made of steel. Since the column 2 needs to withstand the enormous pressure from seawater and the impact of natural forces such as wind and waves, using steel for the column 2 can ensure the stability and safety of the structure and meet various requirements in the deep-sea environment.
