Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture cage technology, specifically a gravity-type cage mesh forming and lifting system. Background Technology
[0002] Aquaculture cages, as a highly efficient aquaculture model, achieve precise control of the aquaculture environment and efficient utilization of resources by enclosing aquatic organisms such as fish in a net structure within a specific body of water. Classified by water body: Freshwater aquaculture: widely used in lakes and reservoirs, cultivating species including the four major freshwater fish (grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and common carp), crucian carp, and tilapia; Marine aquaculture: using corrosion-resistant materials (such as HDPE and special stainless steel) to cultivate high-end species such as grouper and lobster.
[0003] Regarding the above and existing related technologies: When using aquaculture cages, some cages require the use of pipeline lifting machines to lift them. Most lifting machines use power lines from a distant power supply to provide energy. However, a considerable number of aquaculture cages are located in relatively distant locations. The long power lines not only easily lead to wasted electricity, but also make laying them inconvenient. To address these issues, a gravity-type cage mesh forming and lifting system is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The gravity-type net cage forming and lifting system of this utility model includes a frame, a battery, and a support device. A net is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame, and multiple supports are fixedly connected to the surface of the net. A forming machine is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the net. The support device is set on one side of the frame and includes a placement plate. The placement plate is located on one side of the frame, and an air bladder is fitted on the surface of the placement plate. Four placement blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate. Threaded posts are threaded to the inner walls of the placement blocks. The threaded posts are located directly above the air bladder, and the battery is located directly above the placement plate. The threaded posts press against the surface of the air bladder. The placement plate and air bladder are then placed on water, and the battery is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate. By setting up the placement plate, air bladder, placement blocks, and threaded posts, the battery can be supported, which facilitates the provision of energy to the entire device.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom end of the threaded column is rotatably connected to a top block, which is located on the surface of the airbag and presses against the surface of the airbag. The top block can increase the contact area between the threaded column and the airbag.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the placement block is provided with a threaded hole, and the inner wall of the threaded hole of the placement block is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded column. When the threaded column rotates, the threaded column rotates on the inner wall of the threaded hole. The opening of the threaded hole facilitates the rotation of the threaded column on the inner wall of the placement block.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the battery is covered with a protective cover, and the protective cover and the inner wall of the placement tray are threaded together with multiple positioning pins. When the positioning pins are rotated to the inner wall of the protective cover and the placement tray, the protective cover and the positioning pins can protect the battery.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the placement tray has a positioning hole, and the inner wall of the positioning hole and the surface of the positioning pin are threaded together. When the positioning pin rotates, the positioning pin rotates to the inner wall of the positioning hole. The opening of the positioning hole can facilitate the placement tray to store the positioning pin.
[0010] Preferably, the surfaces of the frame and the placement tray are provided with a fixing device, the fixing device including a placement frame, the bottom end of the placement frame being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placement tray, a sliding rod being slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement frame, and a support column being fixedly connected to the surface of the frame near the sliding rod. The sliding rod is sleeved on the surface of the support column. Pulling the placement tray causes the placement tray to slide, and the placement frame slides on the surface of the sliding rod. By setting the placement frame, sliding rod and support column, the position of the placement tray can be restricted.
[0011] Preferably, the slide rod has multiple limiting holes on its surface, and the inner wall of the limiting holes of the slide rod and the inner wall of the placement frame are threadedly connected to limiting pins. The surface of the support column is threadedly connected to a limiting ring. By rotating the limiting ring to the surface of the support column, the limiting ring can restrict the position of the slide rod on the surface of the support column.
[0012] A gravity-driven net cage forming lifting system is disclosed. The lifting system includes a lifting machine, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame. A pull rope is fixedly connected to the surface of the lifting machine. A support wheel is rotatably connected to the surface of the frame near the pull rope. The side wall of the pull rope is fixedly connected to the side wall of the forming frame. When the net cage needs to be retracted, the lifting machine is activated to retract the pull rope. The pull rope moves on the surface of the support wheel, and the support wheel rotates on the surface of the frame. The movement of the pull rope drives the forming frame to move. By setting up the lifting machine, pull rope, and support wheel, the net cage can be easily lifted.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. After the entire equipment is laid out, the airbag is placed on the surface of the placement plate. Then, the threaded column is rotated to rotate within the threaded hole of the placement block. The threaded column drives the top block to move, and the top block presses against the surface of the airbag. Then, the battery is fixed on the placement plate. Next, the protective cover is pushed to cover the surface of the battery. Then, the positioning pin is rotated to the inner wall of the protective cover and the inner wall of the positioning hole of the placement plate. Then, the placement plate and airbag are placed on the water. Finally, the power cord of the battery is connected to the electrical equipment on the equipment. By setting up the entire device, the battery can be fixed, and the inconvenience of placing the battery on the water can be reduced. This reduces the waste of electricity due to excessively long power cords and also reduces the cumbersomeness of laying long-distance power cords.
[0015] 2. In this invention, when the placement tray is placed, the placement tray moves the sliding rod, which is sleeved on the surface of the support column. Then, the limiting ring is rotated to the surface of the support column, and the limiting ring is pressed against the surface of the sliding rod. Then, the placement tray is pulled to move the placement frame. The placement frame slides on the surface of the sliding rod. After the placement frame slides to the appropriate position, the limiting pin is rotated to the inner wall of the placement frame and the sliding rod. By setting the entire device, the position of the placement tray can be restricted, reducing the situation where the placement tray moves randomly due to external force. Attached Figure Description
