Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of abalone farming technology, specifically to a floating box for abalone farming. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of marine aquaculture, abalone farming, as an important part of it, is also constantly improving its farming technology and equipment. Traditional abalone farming methods mostly rely on floating materials such as wooden fish rafts and foam buoys. Although these traditional materials meet the basic needs of abalone farming to a certain extent, they have exposed many problems in practical applications.
[0003] For example, a floating box for abalone farming proposed in a Chinese patent, patent publication number CN217509674U, is used by adding a take-up and take-up frame, a take-up roller and a servo motor to the floating plate. When it is necessary to detect the growth status, the servo motor can drive the take-up roller to rotate. During the rotation of the take-up roller, the connecting rope can be collected, so that the farming net can be easily pulled out of the water. However, the above patent only solves the problem of rotating and collecting the farming net to facilitate the harvesting of abalone, and does not fully consider the stability of the floating box and the convenience of connection in the harsh marine environment.
[0004] The aforementioned floating boxes are easily dispersed when faced with extreme weather such as typhoons and waves, which not only causes serious damage to aquaculture facilities but also generates a large amount of marine debris, posing a threat to the marine ecological environment. Furthermore, the connection between the floating boxes is often not stable enough, making it difficult to form a unified aquaculture array, which is not conducive to the large-scale and intensive development of abalone farming.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, and to ensure that the abalone farming system is structurally sound, easily connected, and highly resistant to wind and waves, while effectively coping with harsh marine environments, improving the efficiency and safety of abalone farming, reducing marine debris, and protecting the marine ecosystem, we have proposed a floating box for abalone farming.

[0008] A connecting assembly is disposed on the top of a float plate and is used to connect and fix the floating boxes on both sides. The connecting assembly includes a sleeve, a slot, and a fixing plug. The sleeve is fixedly installed on the top two sides of the float plate. The float plate has slots for insertion at the positions corresponding to the sleeves, and fixing plugs are inserted into the slots.
[0009] Preferably, a chain for connection is fitted onto the sleeve rod, and the ring holes on the chain correspond to a plurality of slots, and the fixing plug is inserted into the slot through the ring holes on the chain.
[0010] Preferably, the edges of the wave-breaking plate are all arc-shaped and gradually narrow inward, and several side plates are fixedly installed at equal intervals on both sides.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the wave-breaking plate is fixedly installed with an arc-shaped base plate.
[0012] Preferably, each of the fixing plugs has a through hole at its bottom, and the inner wall of the through hole at one end of the bottom of the fixing plug has a thread for connection. A limiting rod for connection and positioning is inserted into the inside of each through hole, and the other end of the limiting rod is threadedly connected to a threaded groove on the inner wall of the through hole.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the float is fixedly equipped with several connecting hooks for connecting to the aquaculture net at equal intervals.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a floating box for abalone farming, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This abalone farming floating box, through the setting of chains, enhances the stability and reliability of the connection between multiple floating boxes, preventing the connection between the floating boxes from loosening or separating under complex sea conditions, ensuring the integrity of the entire abalone farming array, and providing a stable farming environment for abalone.
[0016] 2. The floating box for abalone farming, with its perforated and limiting rod design, not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the fixing plugs, making subsequent maintenance and replacement easier, but also enhances the firmness of the connection between the fixing plugs and the float plate through the threaded connection. This ensures that the row structure between the floating boxes will not fail due to loosening during long-term use, thus improving the reliability and service life of the entire abalone farming floating box system.
[0017] 3. The floating box for abalone farming, with its connecting hooks, allows the farming net to be easily and securely connected to the floating box. The farming net provides a suitable living space for the abalone, preventing them from escaping. It also facilitates the management and operation of the abalone by the farmers, such as feeding, observing their growth, and harvesting, thus improving the efficiency and management level of abalone farming.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A floating box for abalone farming includes a float plate 1, which is circular in shape. Wave-breaking plates 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the float plate 1 for breaking waves. Inclined connecting rods 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the float plate 1. Buoyancy components 4 for floating support are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the connecting rods 3. The box also includes:
[0025] The connecting assembly is set on the top of the float plate 1. The connecting assembly is used to connect and fix the floating boxes on both sides. The connecting assembly includes a sleeve rod 5, a slot 6 and a fixing plug 7. The sleeve rod 5 is fixedly installed on the top two sides of the float plate 1. The float plate 1 has slots 6 for insertion at the positions corresponding to the sleeve rod 5, and the fixing plug 7 is inserted into the slots 6.
[0026] Furthermore, a chain 8 for connection is fitted onto the sleeve rod 5, and the ring holes on the chain 8 correspond to several slots 6. The fixing plug 7 passes through the ring holes on the chain 8 and is inserted into the slot 6. The chain 8 enhances the stability and reliability of the connection between multiple floating boxes, prevents the connection between the floating boxes from loosening or falling off under complex sea conditions, ensures the integrity of the entire abalone farming array, and provides a stable farming environment for abalone.
[0027] Furthermore, the edges of the wave-breaking plate 2 are all arc-shaped and gradually narrow inward, and several side plates 9 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on both sides. The setting of the side plates 9 optimizes the wave-breaking performance of the wave-breaking plate 2. The arc-shaped edges and the setting of the side plates 9 help to disperse the impact force of the waves, reduce the direct impact of the waves on the floating box, and reduce the swaying amplitude of the floating box under the action of the waves, thereby providing a more stable breeding space for abalone, reducing the stress response of abalone caused by swaying, and promoting the healthy growth of abalone.
[0028] Furthermore, an arc-shaped bottom plate 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the wave-breaking plate 2. The bottom plate 10 further optimizes the stability of the floating box in the wave environment.
[0029] Furthermore, each of the fixing plugs 7 has a through hole 11 at its bottom. The inner wall of the through hole 11 at one end of the bottom of the fixing plug 7 has a thread for connection. A limiting rod 12 for connection limiting is inserted into the through hole 11. The other end of the limiting rod 12 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove on the inner wall of the through hole 11. The setting of the through hole 11 and the limiting rod 12 not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the fixing plug 7, making it easier for subsequent maintenance and replacement, but also enhances the firmness of the connection between the fixing plug 7 and the float plate 1 through the threaded connection. This ensures that the row structure between the floating boxes will not fail due to loose connection during long-term use, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the entire abalone farming floating box system.
[0030] Furthermore, several connecting hooks 13 for connecting aquaculture nets are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the bottom of the float 1. The connecting hooks 13 enable the aquaculture net to be easily and securely connected to the floating box. The aquaculture net provides a suitable living space for abalone, prevents abalone from escaping, and also facilitates the management and operation of abalone by aquaculture personnel, such as feeding, observing growth, and harvesting, thereby improving the efficiency and management level of abalone farming.
[0031] Instructions for use
[0032] In use, firstly, chains of appropriate length are fitted onto the sleeves 5 on both sides of the device. Then, the chain 8 is limited by the engagement between the fixing plug 7 and the slot 6. Next, the fixing plug 7 is limited by the threaded connection between the limiting rod 12 and the through hole 11, thus completing the installation of the chain 8. After that, the other end of the chain 8 is installed together with another set of floating boxes. After the installation is completed in sequence, several floating boxes can be placed by the tugboat. After placement, the abalone farming net can be hung on the connecting hook 13 at the bottom of the float plate 1, thus completing the overall installation. Through the cooperation of the above structures, this device is not only structurally stable, easy to connect, and strong against wind and waves, but also effectively copes with harsh marine environments, improves the efficiency and safety of abalone farming, reduces marine debris, and protects the marine ecological environment, making it more practical.
