Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing equipment technology, and in particular to an electric lifting and catching device for enclosed aquaculture areas. Background Technology

[0002] A search of existing Chinese patent document CN208490644U reveals a fishing device for aquaculture, comprising a fishing platform, a hoisting rope, a buoy line, a fishing net, a power cord, and a control box. The device utilizes a lifting mechanism located on the lower right side of the fishing platform. The control box activates a motor, which in turn drives a drive wheel via a rotating shaft. This drive wheel, in turn, drives a driven wheel via a belt. The driven wheel, in turn, drives a rotating rod, which in turn raises and lowers the hoisting rope, thereby raising and lowering the fishing net for catching fish. This makes fishing easier and solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive aquaculture fishing. Furthermore, the device incorporates a fish-attracting light system. After casting the net, LED tri-color lights attract fish, and a frequency converter emits sound to draw them into the net, improving fishing efficiency and eliminating the problem of disturbing fish after casting, which negatively impacts fishing efficiency.

[0003] Enclosed aquaculture areas refer to shallow waters near the coastline that are enclosed by dikes and fences to create a relatively closed environment for aquaculture activities. The main purpose of this method is to utilize marine resources and improve the efficiency and yield of marine life through artificial environmental control. Fishing devices that rely on manual nets are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Existing fishing devices use electric lifting mechanisms, but uneven weight distribution during lifting makes them prone to scattering, and they cannot be integrated with CNC monitoring, trapping, and lifting systems, resulting in poor fishing outcomes.

[0040] Specifically, its structure consists of piles 1, square galvanized steel pipes 2, diagonal bracing rods 3, floating pipes 4, retractable fixing ropes 5, small boxes 6, walkways 7, fishing boxes 8, gourd-shaped clamps 9, partition pipes 10, fishing net layers 11, lifting ropes 12, lifting rings 13, monitoring cameras 14, electric cranes 15, feeders 16, main control boards 17, wireless control modules 18, 4G communication modules 19, control power supplies 20, funnel-shaped feed bins 21, small feeding motors 22, conveying pipe fittings 23, and T-shaped hooks 81, forming an electric lifting and catching device for enclosed aquaculture areas. The piles 1 serve as a fixed enclosure for near-shore aquaculture areas. Square galvanized steel pipes 2 connect to the piles 1, demarcating the harvesting area. Diagonal bracing rods 3 assist in stabilizing the square galvanized steel pipes 2, ensuring the stability of the main structure. Floating pipes 4 provide buoyancy, reducing the stress on the retractable fixing ropes 5 when the small box 6 is raised to sea level. The appropriate pipe diameter is selected based on the weight of the box. After the small box 6 is raised using the retractable fixing ropes 5, it is fixed to the square galvanized steel pipes 2, making the small box 6 relatively stable at sea level. The relatively large overall size of the small box 6 facilitates customization as needed. The number of fish boxes 8 is selected, and a walkway 7 is laid with grating boards for workers to walk on. The fish boxes 8 are used to catch fish, allowing the fish to be placed into each fish box 8 for batch catching. The float pipe 4 is fixed to the small box 6 by the gourd-shaped clamp 9. The large area is divided into small boxes 6 by the partition pipe 10. The fish boxes 8 are fixed in the middle of the small box 6 with the grid pattern. The fish box 8 is formed by the fishing net layer 11, the hanging rope 12 and the hanging ring 13. The hanging rope 12 is connected to the hanging ring 13 and the fish box 8. The small box 6 is lifted by hanging it on the hook of the electric crane 15. The system uses a T-shaped hook 81 to connect and fix the fishing box 8 to the small box 6. A monitoring camera 14, in conjunction with a 4G communication module 19, allows users to view the monitoring footage on a mobile phone or computer to observe the fish catching process. An electric hoist 15 controls the raising and lowering of the small box 6 to catch the fish. A feeder 16 periodically feeds the fishing area, acting as a lure. The main control board 17, wireless control module 18, 4G communication module 19, and control power supply 20 connect and power the entire system, including the monitoring camera 14, electric hoist 15, and feeder 16. The system allows for remote control via mobile phone to handle fish catching and feeding. Fish feed is loaded into a funnel-shaped feed hopper 21. When feeding is needed, the mobile phone controls the transmission of fish feed from a small feeding motor 22 to a conveying pipe 23. The four conveying pipes 23 are aligned with the small boxes 6 to deliver the feed to the various fishing boxes 8 within the small boxes 6. The system is intelligently controlled and remotely monitored to observe the fish catching process, perform remote feeding and catching / lifting operations, effectively improving fishing efficiency and overall stability.

[0041] Working Principle: The electric lifting and catching device for enclosed aquaculture areas consists of a fixed main body, a trapping component, and a control component. The control component can remotely monitor the sea area and, in conjunction with a PLC, simultaneously control the lifting of four electric cranes 15. The lifting structure is fixed to the piles 1 of the enclosed aquaculture area via suspension. The main frame adopts a zoned design, with walkways 7 dividing the entire small box 6 into four large zones, each of which is further divided into four smaller zones. Each smaller zone contains an independent fishing box 8, which can be retrieved individually for on-demand fish collection. The device has eight lifting points welded to the four sides of the frame. When fish are placed inside the box for temporary holding on the sea surface, the fish box can be stably suspended on the sea surface. The device is also equipped with a float 4, which provides buoyancy for the entire small box 6 to float on the sea surface. The float 4, in conjunction with the small box 6, shares the weight of the fish. The buoyancy provided by the float 4 is generally less than one ton for the entire device, ensuring that the weight is shared at the lifting points without affecting the sinking of the small box 6 when it descends into the sea. Walkways 7 are provided around the main frame and at the central cross position. Walkways 7 are paved with grating panels and fixed to the crossbeams of the frame walkways 7. Walkways 7 are mainly for workers to walk and operate on. Four feeders 16 are installed on the square galvanized steel pipes 2 for daily feeding and trapping. The lifting structure uses four electric cranes 15, fixed to the diagonal braces 3 at the four corners of the piles 1, providing relative stability during lifting. The lifting speed of the electric cranes 15 is generally selected according to the type of fish and the required lifting speed. Intelligent control is achieved through the main control board 17, wireless control module 18, 4G communication module 19, and control power supply 20, improving overall power efficiency. It can be used with a mobile phone for monitoring and control of feeding and lifting operations. The electric lifting and trapping device used in enclosed aquaculture areas effectively improves the trapping efficiency.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
