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.

[0027] Example:

[0028] 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.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] The self-diving typhoon-resistant and disaster-avoiding truss-type net cage provided by this utility model includes several main support columns 1 and aquaculture net cage 2. Several ballast tanks 3 are arranged inside the main support columns 1 from top to bottom. The main support columns 1 are connected by a net to form the aquaculture net cage 2. The net includes a side net 4, a cover net 5 and a bottom net 6. The side net 4 is fixedly connected to the main support column 1, the cover net 5 is fixedly connected above the side net 4, and the bottom net 6 is fixedly connected below the side net 4. At least one ballast tank 3 is higher than the aquaculture net cage 2. The diving depth of the aquaculture net cage 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the ballast water volume of the several ballast tanks 3.

[0033] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main support column 1 is significantly taller than the aquaculture cage 2. Multiple ballast tanks 3 are installed within the main support column 1. Adjusting the ballast water volume in these tanks allows for adjustment of the center of gravity of the entire truss-type cage. When the sea is calm, the waterline (operating draft) is located in the middle of the truss-type cage, with the aquaculture cage 2 close to the surface. This area has higher dissolved oxygen levels, which is beneficial for the respiration and growth of the aquaculture products. When facing a typhoon, the waves gradually increase. Therefore, the aquaculture cage 2 is submerged to a greater depth, with the waterline (typhoon-resistant draft) at the top of the truss-type cage. This significantly reduces the direct impact of waves on the aquaculture cage 2, thereby reducing the risk of damage and improving the survival rate of the aquaculture products. Furthermore, the enclosed cage effectively prevents the aquaculture products from escaping and also prevents external marine organisms from entering and harming them.

[0034] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a plurality of auxiliary support columns 7 are also included. The auxiliary support columns 7 are disposed between the two main support columns 2 and fixedly connected to the side netting 4. Adding the auxiliary support columns 7 makes the stress on the aquaculture cage 2 more even, avoiding structural damage caused by excessive stress at a single point, and improving the structural stability of the entire truss-type cage. Thus, it can effectively prevent the aquaculture cage 2 from deforming when facing the impact of wind and waves.

[0035] In the above embodiment, further, several ballast chambers 3 are arranged inside the auxiliary support columns 7 from top to bottom. The auxiliary support columns 7 also have multiple ballast chambers 3, just like the main support columns 1. Thus, the simultaneous operation of multiple ballast chambers 3 allows for rapid adjustment of the center of gravity of the entire truss-type net cage, enabling the aquaculture net cage 2 to quickly rise and sink.

[0036] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, photovoltaic panels 8 are laid on the top surface of several main support columns 1. The photovoltaic panels 8 can convert solar energy into electrical energy, providing clean and renewable energy for the aquaculture cages 2, which helps to reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, reduce carbon emissions, and conform to the development concept of green, low-carbon and environmentally friendly practices.

[0037] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a water inlet valve is provided inside the ballast tank 3, and the controller of the water inlet valve is connected to a remote host signal. In this way, in the event of a sudden typhoon, the opening of the water inlet valve can be remotely controlled to submerge the aquaculture cage 2, allowing staff to evacuate in an emergency. This avoids the need for manual opening of the water inlet valve, which could result in the aquaculture cage 2 submerging too slowly or encountering danger during opening operations in typhoon conditions.

[0038] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, an operating passage 9 is provided above the aquaculture cage 2, and fences 10 are provided on both sides of the operating passage 9. The operating passage 9 facilitates daily aquaculture operations such as inspection, feeding, and disease prevention by the staff, while the fences 10 on both sides effectively prevent staff from falling into the aquaculture cage 2 due to slips or external factors (such as wind and waves) during the operation, thereby greatly reducing the operational risks.

[0039] As an optional implementation, some embodiments further include a fence platform 11, which is positioned above the aquaculture cage 2 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main support column 1 and / or auxiliary support column 7. Through the fence platform 11, staff can more conveniently observe and manage the aquaculture products within the aquaculture cage 2, promptly detect and address abnormalities such as diseases or poor growth, thus helping to improve aquaculture efficiency and management level.

[0040] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a base 12 is provided at the bottom of the main support column 1. The base 12 is shaped like a frustum or a pyramid. The frustum-shaped structure can more effectively resist overturning moments and maintain structural stability when subjected to lateral forces (such as wind or water currents), while the pyramidal structure, with its multiple sides, provides better restraint, reduces structural deformation during stress, and maintains structural stability. Furthermore, when this truss-type net cage is used in shallow waters, the submersion of the aquaculture net cage 2 may cause the main support column 1 to contact the seabed. Therefore, both frustum and pyramidal shapes can effectively increase the contact area with the seabed, improving structural stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0041] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the side net 4, cover net 5, and bottom net 6 are all made of polymer mesh. Polymer mesh can withstand greater external forces and is not easily damaged, thus extending its service life and reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance. Furthermore, polymer mesh materials are generally recyclable, reducing environmental pollution. At the same time, its long lifespan and low maintenance costs also help reduce waste generation during aquaculture, aligning with the development concepts of green, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly practices.

[0042] In the above embodiments, an environmentally friendly coating that is harmless to aquaculture products can be added to the surfaces of the side net 4, cover net 5, and bottom net 6. This coating has the function of preventing fouling and biological adhesion. This helps to keep the side net 4, cover net 5, and bottom net 6 clean, reducing problems such as poor water flow and deterioration of the aquaculture environment caused by fouling and biological adhesion, thereby improving aquaculture efficiency.
