Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The fish farming cage shown includes a base plate 1 with mounting holes for fixing it in place. A frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 1. A cage body 4 is slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the frame 2. A feed box 5 is fixedly mounted through the top of the cage body 4. A feeding pipe is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the feed box 5. A solenoid valve 21 is mounted on the outer wall of the feeding pipe. A feeding tube 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the feed box 5. When the solenoid valve 21 is opened, feed is fed into the cage body 4 through the feeding tube. A frame 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the frame 2. A limiting frame 7 is installed, and a hopper 8 is detachably connected to one side of the limiting frame 7. A corrugated pipe 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hopper 8, and a connecting pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corrugated pipe 9. The connecting pipe 10 is detachably connected to the feeding pipe 6. The hopper 8 is installed on one side of the limiting frame 7, and the connecting pipe 10 is inserted into the feeding pipe 6. The net cage 4 is lowered to a suitable position in the water. At this time, the corrugated pipe 9 is tilted. The feed is poured into the hopper 8, and the feed enters the feed box 5 through the corrugated pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 10, making it convenient to add feed into the feed box 5.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, a motor 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 2. The output end of the motor 3 passes through the frame 2 and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 22. The net cage 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 22. The output end of the motor 3 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate, and the threaded rod 22 drives the net cage 4 to move up and down, which facilitates the placement of the net cage 4 into the water and the retrieval of fish inside.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a baffle 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 10, and a limiting pipe 12 is movably connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 10. The limiting pipe 12 is threadedly connected to the feeding pipe 6. The connecting pipe 10 is inserted into the feeding pipe 6, so that the baffle 11 is located at the top of the feeding pipe 6. The limiting pipe 12 is screwed onto the feeding pipe 6, so that the connecting pipe 10 is not easily detached from the feeding pipe 6. A limiting block 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the hopper 8. A limiting groove 14 is opened at the bottom of the limiting block 13. Connecting plates 15 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the limiting frame 7. A rod 16 is fixedly installed through the center. One end of the rod 16 passes through the limiting frame 7 and is inserted into the limiting groove 14. A spring 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 15. One end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the limiting frame 7. Pulling the rod 16 down causes the connecting plate 15 to move down and compress the spring 17. The rod 16 moves down into the limiting frame 7. The limiting block 13 is inserted into the limiting frame 7 and releases the rod 16. The spring 17 causes the connecting plate 15 to move up and reset, so that the rod 16 is inserted into the limiting groove 14, and the hopper 8 is installed on one side of the limiting frame 7.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a second motor 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the feed box 5. The output end of the second motor 18 passes through the feed box 5 and is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 19. A spiral blade 20 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 19. The output end of the second motor 18 drives the rotating rod 19 and the spiral blade 20 to rotate and stir the feed, so as to avoid the feed from clumping and affecting the feeding.
[0027] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a net cage for aquaculture. First, when using it, the bottom plate 1 is installed in the use position. Pulling down the insertion rod 16 moves the connecting plate 15 down and squeezes the spring 17, so that the insertion rod 16 moves down into the limiting frame 7. The limiting block 13 is inserted into the limiting frame 7 and the insertion rod 16 is released. The spring 17 moves the connecting plate 15 up and resets it, so that the insertion rod 16 is inserted into the limiting groove 14. The hopper 8 is installed on one side of the limiting frame 7. The connecting pipe 10 is inserted into the feeding pipe 6. The limiting pipe 12 is screwed on the feeding pipe 6, so that the connecting pipe 10 is not easy to detach from the feeding pipe 6.
[0028] The output end of motor 3 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate, and the threaded rod 22 drives the net box 4 to descend to a suitable position in the water. At this time, the corrugated pipe 9 is tilted, and the feed is poured into the hopper 8. The feed enters the feed box 5 through the corrugated pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 10, making it convenient to add feed into the feed box 5. When feeding the net box 4, the solenoid valve 21 is opened and the feed is fed into the net box 4 through the feeding pipe.
