Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic cleaning device for aquaculture cages. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, aquaculture cages generate a large amount of floating debris, such as dead fish and leftover feed. Currently, cleaning is mainly done manually by rowing boats and using dredging nets on an irregular basis, which has the following drawbacks: low cleaning efficiency: a single operation can only cover a local area of the water surface, requiring repeated operations; many blind spots: it is difficult to thoroughly cover the corners and central areas of the cages; poor timeliness: the lingering debris leads to decay and deterioration, causing water quality deterioration and the spread of diseases (such as increasing the incidence of bacterial gill rot by more than 30%); high labor costs: a single cleaning requires two people working together for more than one hour (taking a 20m×20m cage as an example). Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a semi-automatic cleaning device for aquaculture cages, which solves the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual cleaning and incomplete cleaning in the existing technology.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A semi-automatic cleaning device for aquaculture cages is provided, comprising:

[0016] Furthermore, in the aforementioned semi-automatic cleaning device for aquaculture cages, the thickness of the silicone wear-resistant layer is 8-10 mm, and the Shore hardness is 60A.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up an interception net with the same width as the water surface and installing it on one side of the net box via a roller, this utility model achieves full coverage of the entire water surface, avoiding the limitations of traditional manual cleaning which involves cleaning one area at a time on a wide water surface. This greatly improves cleaning efficiency and saves cleaning time and labor costs. This utility model uses the roller principle to pull the interception net out of the water surface along the lower track and then rolls it back up via the upper track, achieving automatic collection and cleaning of garbage without additional manual operation, thus reducing the burden on laborers.
