[0002] Currently, various connector devices that can change the direction and angle of transport are commonly used in fluid transport engineering design. For example, in the field of deep-sea aquaculture, since aquaculture vessels usually adopt a closed cabin structure, the difference between the internal and external environments of the vessel must be overcome when taking water for aquaculture. For example, an inlet is set at the bottom of the cabin, and a pump is used to suck water into the cabin and then input it into the transport channels of each aquaculture pond.

[0003] Existing large-scale water conveyance devices, such as those transporting water from the deep sea to ships, lack corresponding pipeline laying and connection methods and control means for adjusting the conveyance angle. Such water conveyance facilities have defects and deficiencies such as small turning radii and significantly low strength between different angled connection parts, making it difficult to withstand forces perpendicular to the turning plane.

[0004] In view of the above, this patent application is hereby filed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a water intake angle adjustment device applicable to a deep-sea aquaculture vessel 10 is disclosed. This device can achieve multi-angle conveying direction adjustment when providing water for aquaculture of various aquatic organisms in a deep-sea environment.

[0027] The water diversion angle adjustment device includes a fixed pipe assembly 20 and a rotating pipe assembly 40 rotatably connected to each other. A corrugated pipe 30 connects the fixed pipe assembly 20 and the rotating pipe assembly 40. The end of the fixed pipe assembly 20 is connected to the ship's side 12, and the end of the rotating pipe assembly 40 is connected to the first winch 60 via a first cable 62.

[0028] The first winch 60 is fixedly connected to the deck 11;

[0029] The fixed pipe assembly 20 includes a fixed pipe 21, with a first flange 22 and a second flange 23 respectively provided at both ends of the fixed pipe 21. A fixed block 24 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the fixed pipe 21. The first hinge seat 25 has an overall structure with a ring at the top and vertically extending lugs on both sides. The ring at the top of the first hinge seat 25 is fixedly connected to the second flange 23. A set of first holes 26 for pivot connection are respectively provided on the lugs on both sides of the first hinge seat 25. A second winch 61 is installed on the fixed block 24. The first flange 22 is fixed and connected to the first elbow 13. The first elbow 13 is inserted into the hull 12 and connected to the water intake pipe inside the aquaculture vessel 10, so as to introduce water from the outer sea area through the fixed pipe assembly 20 and the first elbow 13 into the aquaculture tank inside the aquaculture vessel 10, thereby realizing the aquaculture and harvesting operation of aquatic organisms throughout their entire life cycle.

[0030] The rotating tube assembly 40 includes a rotating tube 41, a third flange 42 installed at the end of the rotating tube 41 connected to the bellows 30, a second hinge seat 43 having an integral structure with a ring at the top and vertically extending lugs on both sides, the ring at the top of the second hinge seat 43 being fixedly connected to the third flange 42, and a set of second holes 44 being provided on the lugs on both sides of the second hinge seat 43; the second hinge seat 43 and the first hinge seat 25 have the same structure but opposite installation directions to form a tenon and mortise joint structure between them; the outer side of the second hinge seat 43 is fixedly connected to the array rods 45 vertically, and a first plate 46 and a second plate 47 are fixedly connected horizontally between the array rods 45; the second plate 47 is connected to the top of the array rods 45, and at least a set of third holes 48 are provided on the second plate 47; at least a set of fourth holes 49 are provided at the bottom of the rotating tube 41.

[0031] Specifically, the first hole 26 of the first hinge seat 25 is hinged to the second hole 44 of the second hinge seat 43, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the fixed tube assembly 20 and the rotating tube assembly 4.

[0032] One end of the first cable 62 is connected to the fourth hole 49, and the other end is driven to be connected to the first winch 60;

[0033] The second winch 61 is preferably a double-drum winch, in which the double drums are wound to connect the second cable 63 and the third cable 64, and the free ends of the second cable 63 and the third cable 64 are respectively connected to the third hole 48.

[0034] The corrugated pipe 30 is a rubber elastic pipe, with its upper part connected to the second flange 23 and its lower part connected to the third flange 42;

[0035] When the rotating tube assembly 40 is pulled, the first winch 60 pulls the first cable 62 while the second winch 61 can release the second cable 63 and the third cable 64, so that the rotating tube assembly 40 can rotate counterclockwise.

[0036] While the second winch 61 pulls the second cable 63 and the third cable 64, the first winch 60 can release the first cable 62, thereby enabling the rotating tube assembly 40 to rotate clockwise.

[0037] Therefore, this application achieves bidirectional adjustment of the rotation direction and angle of the rotating pipe assembly through the action of two sets of bidirectional cables between the first cable 62 and the second cable 63 and the third cable 64. At the same time, through the rotational connection between the fixed pipe assembly 20 and the rotating pipe assembly 4, it can achieve resistance to the impact of ocean currents on the water intake pipe, i.e., the fixed pipe assembly 20, in all four directions.

[0038] This application can overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, thereby enabling the change of fluid transport direction within a small space, while being able to withstand large pressure perpendicular to the rotation direction, such as in the water intake operation process of deep-sea aquaculture vessels.

[0039] In summary, the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are merely preferred solutions for achieving the objectives of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can draw inspiration from this and directly derive other alternative structures that conform to the design concept of this utility model. Other structural features derived therefrom should also fall within the scope of the solutions described in this utility model.
