[0020] Example 1

[0021] according to Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes an automatic aquaculture harvesting device, including a mobile harvesting frame 1, a lifting mechanism, a harvesting net cage 2, and a cover plate 3. The mobile harvesting frame 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which includes an electric cylinder 4 and a bracket 5. The electric cylinders 4 are symmetrically installed on the top of the mobile harvesting frame 1, and the output ends of the two electric cylinders 4 are each equipped with a bracket 5. The harvesting net cage 2 is installed inside the mobile harvesting frame 1. The two ends of the harvesting net cage 2 are respectively connected to the two brackets 5. The outer walls of the two ends of the harvesting net cage 2 are rotatably provided with mounting rings 6. The outer wall of the harvesting net cage 2 between the two mounting rings 6 is provided with a harvesting opening 7. The cover plate 3 is provided between the two mounting rings 6, and the size of the cover plate 3 is adapted to the harvesting opening 7. A set of brackets 5 is equipped with a driving mechanism, which drives the mounting rings 6 to rotate on the outer wall of the harvesting net cage 2.

[0022] This utility model's automatic aquaculture harvesting equipment is applied in intensive aquaculture, such as when harvesting shrimp. A mobile harvesting frame 1 is placed across the aquaculture pond. Then, an electric cylinder 4 of the lifting mechanism drives a support 5 to descend, causing the harvesting net cage 2 connected to the support 5 to descend synchronously into the aquaculture pond (the harvesting opening 7 is open by default). During harvesting, the mobile harvesting frame 1 is moved to catch shrimp from the aquaculture pond into the harvesting net cage 2. Then, the electric cylinder 4 controls the harvesting net cage 2 to rise. Simultaneously, the drive mechanism is activated to rotate the mounting ring 6, rotating the cover plate 3 to the harvesting opening 7 to seal it and prevent shrimp from escaping from the harvesting net cage 2. In this utility model, the harvesting net cage 2 also has a discharge port with a door for discharging the harvested aquatic products.

[0023] The mobile fishing frame 1 includes a gantry 101, a base 102, and wheels 103. The bottom of both sides of the gantry 101 is provided with a base 102, and the base 102 is provided with wheels 103 inside. Multiple sets of wheels 103 are provided.

[0024] The driving mechanism includes a gear ring 8, a drive gear 9, and a drive motor 10. A set of mounting rings 6 has a gear ring 8 on its outer wall. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted on a set of brackets 5. The drive shaft has a drive gear 9, which meshes with the gear ring 8. The drive shaft is driven by the drive motor 10 located at the top of the brackets 5. A drive rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the brackets 5 with the drive shaft. The drive rod 11 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 10. A first bevel gear 12 is mounted on the drive rod 11, and a second bevel gear 13 meshes with the first bevel gear 12 at one end of the drive shaft. When the driving mechanism of this invention controls the rotation of the mounting ring 6, the drive motor 10 is started to drive the drive rod 11 to rotate. Then, the first bevel gear 12 and the second bevel gear 13 cooperate to drive the drive shaft to rotate. Finally, the drive gear 9 mounted on the drive shaft drives the mounting ring 6 with the gear ring 8 to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the cover plate 3.

[0025] The mobile fishing frame 1 is equipped with a power module 16 on its top. The electric cylinders 4 and the drive motor 10 are both connected to the power module 16 via wires, and the two electric cylinders 4 are controlled synchronously by the same controller. This utility model provides power to the electrical components by setting up the power module 16, and the power module 16 being located on top of the mobile fishing frame 1 can effectively prevent water damage.

[0026] This utility model features an automatic aquaculture harvesting device consisting of a mobile harvesting frame 1, a lifting mechanism, a harvesting net cage 2, and a cover plate 3. This device can harvest a large quantity of aquatic products in a single operation using the harvesting net cage 2. After harvesting, the cover plate 3 seals the harvesting opening 7 on the outer wall of the harvesting net cage 2 by controlling the rotation of the mounting ring 6, thus preventing the harvested aquatic products from escaping. The harvesting operation is highly automated; only manual control of the mobile harvesting frame 1 is required to automatically harvest products from different locations within the aquaculture pond.

The electric cylinders 4 are symmetrically installed on the top of the mobile harvesting frame 1, and the output ends of the two electric cylinders 4 are each equipped with a bracket 5. The harvesting net cage 2 is installed inside the mobile harvesting frame 1. The two ends of the harvesting net cage 2 are respectively connected to the two brackets 5. The outer walls of the two ends of the harvesting net cage 2 are rotatably provided with mounting rings 6. The outer wall of the harvesting net cage 2 between the two mounting rings 6 is provided with a harvesting opening 7. The cover plate 3 is provided between the two mounting rings 6, and the size of the cover plate 3 is adapted to the harvesting opening 7. A set of brackets 5 is equipped with a driving mechanism, which drives the mounting rings 6 to rotate on the outer wall of the harvesting net cage 2.

[0029] The fishing net cage 2 has an internal mounting base 14, and a bait tube 15 is detachably connected to the mounting base 14 via threads. The bait tube 15 has holes. This invention, by setting the bait tube 15 inside the fishing net cage 2, can effectively increase the catch of aquatic products by attracting them with food, and can assist in catching a large number of aquatic products at once.
