Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquatic animal breeding technology, specifically relating to floating culture devices, and more particularly to a tripod for breeding net cages and a breeding net cage. Background Technology

[0002] Marine aquaculture is a production activity that utilizes marine waters to cultivate aquatic organisms. Marine aquaculture commonly uses aquaculture cages, which can be divided into square cages, cylindrical cages, spherical cages, and conical cages, etc.

[0003] In aquaculture cages, tripods are usually used to fix the buoyancy tubes. When feed or special medicines need to be added, the breeder needs to walk on the aquaculture cages to distribute the materials as evenly as possible to each area.

[0004] For example, a plastic fish raft triangular support with patent number "CN202022644683.8" requires the keeper to carry materials over the triangular support to move to the next area when the keeper moves around, thus restricting the keeper's movement.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the above problems is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Utility Model Content

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the figures, the thickness of parts may be exaggerated or reduced for the purpose of effectively depicting the technical content.

[0038] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0039] Example 1, at least one embodiment provides a tripod, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a tripod body 1, which includes: a float tube connector 11, a fence connector 12, and a first reinforcing part 13; the float tube connector 11 has at least two float tube sleeve openings 112 arranged in the horizontal direction; the fence connector 12 has at least one fence sleeve opening 121 arranged in the height direction; the fence connector 12 is located on one side of the upper surface of the float tube connector 11, and the first reinforcing part 13 is provided between the two, the first reinforcing part 13 is close to the side wall of the fence connector 12 and the upper surface of the float tube connector 11, so as to form a stepping area 111 on the other side of the upper surface of the fence connector 12.

[0040] Specifically, the floating pipe sleeve 112 on the floating pipe connector 11 and the fence sleeve 121 on the fence connector 12 are both fitted onto the corresponding pipes to serve as a limiting function.

[0041] Specifically, since the fence connector 12 has a certain height, the fence connector 12 and the floating pipe connector 11 are connected by the first reinforcing part 13, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the two.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first reinforcing part 13 is connected to the upper surface of the floating tube connector 11, and the connection point is close to the fence connector 12, so that the upper surface of the floating tube connector 11 away from the fence connector 12 is left blank to form a trampling area 111, thereby facilitating the treading of the feeder and the placement of materials.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the floating pipe sleeve opening 112 is positioned away from the trampling area 111, so as to leave a lifting area 113 between it and the trampling area 111.

[0044] Specifically, the aquaculture cage uses at least two annular floating tubes 3, which float on the sea surface and are limited by several tripod bodies 1. The annular floating tubes 3 have a certain buoyancy and will not be completely submerged in the seawater. The use of two annular floating tubes 3 is to prevent the tripod bodies 1 from rotating.

[0045] In this embodiment, as the sea surface rises and falls, the height of the waves can easily exceed the floating tube connector 11 of the tripod body 1. When a zookeeper stands on the stepping area 111, their shoes are easily wet by the waves. Therefore, this embodiment increases the distance between the stepping area 111 and the sea surface by leaving a raised area 113, so that the stepping area 111 can adapt to higher waves.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the floating pipe connector 11 is "T" shaped; the floating pipe sleeve opening 112 is located in the longitudinal part of the floating pipe connector 11; the transverse part of the floating pipe connector 11 is the lifting area 113.

[0047] Specifically, since the annular floating pipe 3 will not be completely submerged in seawater, the lateral part of the floating pipe connector 11 can be completely exposed outside the sea surface.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the waves hit the side wall of the longitudinal section, the waves will splash upward along the side wall of the longitudinal section. Since the width of the transverse section is greater than the width of the longitudinal section, the splashing waves are blocked by the protruding transverse section, thereby preventing the waves from splashing into the trampling area 111 and wetting the zookeeper's shoes.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first reinforcing part 13 includes: a first inclined plate 131; wherein the first inclined plate 131 connects the side wall of the fence connector 12 and the upper surface of the floating pipe connector 11.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first inclined plate 131 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 132.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tripod body 1 also includes a second inclined plate 14; wherein the second inclined plate 14 and the first inclined plate 131 are located on both sides of the fence connector 12, and the two ends of the second inclined plate 14 are connected to the side wall of the fence connector 12 and the floating pipe connector 11, respectively.

[0052] In some embodiments, the tripod body 1 is made of a single piece of plastic.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the tripod also includes: a cap 2; a hollow fence connector 12; wherein the upper end face of the fence connector 12 is an opening 122; and the cap 2 is connected to the opening 122.

[0054] Specifically, the function of the cap 2 is to prevent seawater, rainwater, etc. from entering the fence connector 12.

[0055] In this embodiment, the hollow fence connector 12 can reduce the overall weight of the tripod.

[0056] Example 2, at least one embodiment provides a tripod, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a tripod body 1, which includes: a float tube connector 11, a fence connector 12, and a first reinforcing part 13; the float tube connector 11 has at least two float tube sleeve openings 112 arranged in the horizontal direction; the fence connector 12 has at least one fence sleeve opening 121 arranged in the height direction; the fence connector 12 is located on one side of the upper surface of the float tube connector 11, and the first reinforcing part 13 is provided between the two, the first reinforcing part 13 is close to the side wall of the fence connector 12 and the upper surface of the float tube connector 11, so as to form a stepping area 111 on the other side of the upper surface of the fence connector 12.

[0057] Specifically, the floating pipe sleeve 112 on the floating pipe connector 11 and the fence sleeve 121 on the fence connector 12 are both fitted onto the corresponding pipes to serve as a limiting function.

[0058] Specifically, since the fence connector 12 has a certain height, the fence connector 12 and the floating pipe connector 11 are connected by the first reinforcing part 13, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the two.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first reinforcing part 13 is connected to the upper surface of the floating tube connector 11, and the connection point is close to the fence connector 12, so that the upper surface of the floating tube connector 11 away from the fence connector 12 is left blank to form a trampling area 111, thereby facilitating the treading of the feeder and the placement of materials.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the floating pipe sleeve opening 112 is positioned close to the trampling area 111.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first reinforcing part 13 includes: a first inclined plate 131; wherein the first inclined plate 131 connects the side wall of the fence connector 12 and the upper surface of the floating pipe connector 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first inclined plate 131 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 132.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tripod body 1 also includes a second inclined plate 14; wherein the second inclined plate 14 and the first inclined plate 131 are located on both sides of the fence connector 12, and the two ends of the second inclined plate 14 are connected to the side wall of the fence connector 12 and the floating pipe connector 11, respectively.

[0064] In some embodiments, the tripod body 1 is made of a single piece of plastic.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the tripod also includes: a cap 2; a hollow fence connector 12; wherein the upper end face of the fence connector 12 is an opening 122; and the cap 2 is connected to the opening 122.

[0066] Specifically, the function of the cap 2 is to prevent seawater, rainwater, etc. from entering the fence connector 12.

[0067] In this embodiment, the hollow fence connector 12 can reduce the overall weight of the tripod.

[0068] Example 3, at least one embodiment provides an aquaculture cage, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes: several tripods; at least two annular floating pipes 3; at least one annular fence 4; wherein the annular floating pipes 3 are adapted to pass through the corresponding floating pipe sleeve opening 112 of each tripod, and the annular fence 4 is adapted to pass through the corresponding fence sleeve opening 121 of each tripod.

[0069] For details on the specific structure and implementation process of the tripod, please refer to the relevant discussions in Example 1 or Example 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0070] In summary, the aquaculture cage uses a tripod and the aquaculture cage to be connected to the upper surface of the floating pipe connector 11 through the first reinforcing part 13, and the connection point is close to the fence connector 12, so that the upper surface of the floating pipe connector 11 is left blank away from the fence connector 12 to form a trampling area 111, which facilitates the treading of the breeder and the placement of materials; at the same time, the cross section of the floating pipe connector 11 is T-shaped, so that the protruding lateral part can block the waves splashing upward along the side wall.
