[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This application provides an ecological cage, specifically, the ecological cage includes a cage body and a material collection component 5.

[0028] The box has an opening 6 on at least one side and several feeding holes on the top for feeding. The opening 6 has an openable grid 7. The opening 6 and the grid 7 facilitate routine inspection and maintenance of the box, provide a suitable growth environment for the organisms, and help improve the yield and quality of aquaculture.

[0029] The feed collection component 5 is located on the top of the box and is used to guide the feed into the feeding hole. By adding the feed collection component 5, it is easier for the feeder to accurately feed the feed. The feed collection component 5 guides the collected feed into the feeding hole on the top of the box, and then distributes it evenly into the box, which can avoid feed waste. The multiple feeding holes can increase the feeding area and facilitate the entry of feed.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, the enclosure includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2. The upper shell 1 and lower shell 2, when connected, form a space for aquaculture. Dividing the enclosure into the upper shell 1 and lower shell 2 makes manufacturing more convenient. Specifically, a first fixing lug 3 is provided on the edge where the upper shell 1 joins the lower shell 2, and a second fixing lug 4 is provided on the edge where the lower shell 2 joins the upper shell 1. The first fixing lug 3 and the second fixing lug 4 are connected by bolts, making the assembly and disassembly of the enclosure convenient.

[0031] In some embodiments, the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are made of polypropylene (PP), high molecular weight polyethylene plastic sheet, fluoroplastic product or hollow plastic sheet.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, the material collection component 5 includes a cylindrical body and a conical body connected together. The cylindrical body is connected to the top of the box body, and the circle projected onto the top of the box body covers all the feeding holes. One end of the conical body is connected to the cylindrical body, and the maximum diameter of the opening 6 at the other end of the conical body is greater than the length of the line connecting any two points on the top of the box body.

[0033] The cylindrical body covers all the feeding holes to ensure uniform feeding.

[0034] The diameter of the cone-shaped cylinder gradually increases between its two ends. The end with the larger diameter is used for feeding the bait, while the end with the smaller diameter is used to connect with the cylinder. The cone-shaped cylinder acts as a guide, and making the maximum diameter of the cone-shaped cylinder greater than the length of the line connecting any two points on the top of the box can reduce the probability of bait spilling when feeding.

[0035] In some embodiments, ventilation holes penetrating into the body are provided at the top and bottom of the box. The ventilation holes can improve the circulation and flow of water in the box. In addition, the ventilation holes at the bottom of the box can also be used for the discharge of aquatic animal excrement, so as to avoid the accumulation of excrement in the box and affect the growth environment of aquatic animals.

[0036] Furthermore, the ventilation holes and feeding holes at the bottom of the enclosure are staggered to prevent the food from flowing out of the ventilation holes and thus preventing the aquatic animals from ingesting the food.

[0037] In this embodiment, the diameter of the vent hole is larger than the diameter of the feed inlet hole.

[0038] In some embodiments, a buoyancy member is provided at the bottom of the container to enable the container to suspend in water. The buoyancy member is adjusted to allow the container to suspend in the water at a suitable position.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the buoyancy component includes an airbag 13. When inflated, the airbag 13 provides buoyancy to support the suspension of the box. The magnitude of the buoyancy can be controlled by adjusting the inflation amount of the airbag 13, thus effectively controlling the position of the box suspended in the water.

[0040] In some embodiments, the number of airbags 13 may be one or more.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the buoyancy component also includes a limiting member 12, which is used to fix the airbag 13 to the bottom of the box to prevent the airbag 13 from detaching and causing the box to fail to levitate.

[0042] In this embodiment of the application, the limiting member 12 includes a circular part and a limiting part. The airbag 13 is located inside the circular part. One end of the circular part is connected to the bottom of the box, and the other end of the circular part is connected to the limiting part. The limiting part restricts the airbag 13 from leaving the circular part, thereby fixing the airbag 13 to the bottom of the box.

[0043] In some embodiments, the ring is provided with an opening through which the air supply tube passes, and the air bag 13 is provided with an air connector 14, which enables the air bag 13 to be inflated or deflated, and also makes it easier to detach the air bag 13 from the air tube.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air connector 14 may include multiple sub-ports and a main port. When multiple airbags 13 are set, multiple airbags 13 can be inflated or deflated simultaneously through multiple sub-ports.

[0045] In some embodiments, an air pump can also be installed on the tank. The air pump is connected to the air connector 14 through a pipe. To facilitate the power supply of the air pump, a solar panel and a battery can be installed on the tank. With the remote control of the start, stop or inflation / deflation of the air pump, the inflation amount of the airbag 13 can be adjusted to control the buoyancy and achieve rapid adjustment of the tank's position in the water.

[0046] In some embodiments, one side of the grille 7 is rotatably connected to the box body, and the other side of the grille 7 is detachably connected to the box body via a locking member, allowing for quick and easy opening of the grille 7 to facilitate the collection of aquatic animals or maintenance and cleaning of the box body. The grille 7 has a perforated structure, which facilitates water flow and circulation.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the locking component includes a first locking member and a second locking member 10. The first locking member is disposed in the housing, and the second locking member 10 is movably disposed in the grille member 7. When the grille member 7 closes the opening 6, the second locking member 10 can be inserted and connected to the first locking member.

[0048] The second locking member 10 is movably disposed on the grille member 7, so that the second locking member 10 can be adjusted to be inserted and connected with the first locking member. The detachable opening and closing connection between the grille member 7 and the box body is realized through the cooperation of the second locking member 10 and the first locking member.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the grille 7 is provided with a first connecting part 8, the first connecting part 8 is bent with an ear, the ear is provided with a hole for the second locking member 10 to pass through, the first locking member is provided with a locking hole for the second locking member 10 to be inserted into. When the grille 7 closes the opening 6 of the box, the hole of the ear is aligned with the locking hole, so the second locking member 10 can be inserted into the locking hole, thereby enabling the grille 7 to be closed and fixed to the opening 6 of the box.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the first locking member may be a cylindrical component disposed on the housing, or the first locking member may be a cylindrical structure formed by a partial recess in the housing.

[0051] In some embodiments, the locking member further includes a spring-loaded member 11. The second locking member 10 is inserted into the grille member 7, and the spring-loaded member 11 is used to maintain the second locking member 10 in an inserted state with the first locking member. In the absence of external force, the spring-loaded member 11 keeps the second locking member 10 in an inserted state with the first locking member, ensuring that the grille member 7 will not open automatically.

[0052] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the spring-loaded member 11 is made of spring, and the second locking member 10 has a rod. The grid member 7 is provided with a second connecting part 9. The second connecting part 9 is used to guide the second locking member 10 and to limit the spring. The spring is sleeved on the rod, and one end of the spring is fixed to the rod, while the other end of the spring abuts against the second connecting part 9. When the second locking member 10 is pulled out from the first locking member, the rod compresses the spring. The presence of the spring causes the second locking member 10 to have a tendency to move away from the second connecting part 9.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the two ends of the second connecting part 9 are bent to have support ends, and the support ends are provided with grooves for guiding the rod. The spring is located between the two support ends, one end of the spring is fixed to the rod by a pin structure, and the other end of the spring abuts against the support end away from the first connecting part 8.

[0054] In some embodiments, two locking members 10 may be provided, with one first locking member and one second locking member 10 forming a set. The two sets respectively define different sides of the grille 7, thereby enabling the grille 7 to be securely locked to the housing.

[0055] In some embodiments, the side of the tank is provided with multiple channels for water to flow through. The combination of the channels and the vents allows the water inside the tank to circulate, which helps to improve the water flow inside the tank.

[0056] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
