Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a split-type biomimetic flow-guiding premium oyster single-unit culture cage, belonging to the field of aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] To address the issues of poor stability in rough seas, the tendency of oyster shells to tear the cages and cause oyster loss during longline oyster farming, and the impact of oyster accumulation on shell shape due to waves, a new type of single-shell oyster farming cage is being developed. Based on oyster growth habits and production goals, this cage aims to improve the shell shape of individual oysters, enhance their value, reduce costs, and enhance their resistance to waves. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a split-type biomimetic flow-guiding high-quality oyster single-unit culture cage to solve the problem.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a split-type biomimetic guide-type premium oyster single-cell culture cage, including a main cage and a secondary cage with mesh; the main cage and the secondary cage are hinged together and form a teardrop shape when closed.
[0005] Preferably, both the main cage and the auxiliary cage are injection molded from PE material.
[0006] Preferably, the top of the main cage is provided with a hanging ear.
[0007] Preferably, the bottoms of the main cage and the secondary cage are rounded after being gathered, so as to form a curved surface in the bottom cavity.
[0008] Preferably, the main cage and the auxiliary cage, when closed, have flow guide holes at their bottom centers.
[0009] Preferably, the mesh size of the main cage and the auxiliary cage is 2-3 cm.
[0010] Preferably, the main cage and the auxiliary cage are each provided with a lock hole; and the lock holes of the two cages are aligned after they are closed.
[0011] Beneficial effects
[0012] The teardrop-shaped design of this invention reduces water flow resistance and improves water flow permeability, which is beneficial to the growth of oysters. The split design facilitates the placement, inspection and harvesting of oysters, improving work efficiency. The bottom guide hole design helps water exchange and keeps the aquaculture environment clean. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Other features, objects, and advantages of this invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the main cage of this utility model;
[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the auxiliary cage of this utility model;
[0016] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the main cage and the auxiliary cage of this utility model;
[0017] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the main cage and the auxiliary cage of this utility model when they are joined together. Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a split-type biomimetic flow-guiding single-unit oyster culture cage technology: the culture cage includes a main cage 1 and a secondary cage 2, which are connected by a hinge, allowing for easy closure and opening. When closed, the overall shape is teardrop-shaped, with a slightly pointed top and a rounded bottom.
[0020] Both the main cage 1 and the auxiliary cage 2 are injection molded from PE material. PE material has the advantages of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and light weight, making it suitable for long-term use in marine environments.
[0021] The main cage 1 is equipped with a hanging ear 3 at the top, which makes it easy to hang the breeding cage on the breeding rope or breeding frame, making it convenient for operation and management.
[0022] The main cage 1 and the secondary cage 2, when closed, have rounded bottoms forming curved surfaces. This design helps oysters grow stably and reduces sediment buildup at the bottom. Meanwhile, a guide hole 4 is located at the center of the bottom, allowing water to be introduced and the oysters and impurities from the bottom to be carried out through the guide hole 4.
[0023] The mesh size of the main cage 1 and the secondary cage 2 is 2-3 cm, which can ensure smooth water flow and effectively prevent oysters from escaping and harmful organisms from invading.
[0024] The main cage 1 and the secondary cage 2 are each equipped with a lock hole 6. When they are closed, the lock holes 6 of the two cages are aligned and can be fixed by locks or ropes to prevent the breeding cages from falling apart in the water.
[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the scope of the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0026] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
