[0031] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides an ecological aquaculture cage. The ecological aquaculture cage 1 includes a cage body 1, a support frame 2, and a drainage structure. The cage body 1 is used to enclose and form an aquaculture space. The support frame 2 is connected to the cage body 1 and is used to support the cage body 1. The drainage structure includes a drainage component and a connecting structure. The drainage component is connected to the cage body 1 and is used to discharge aquaculture wastewater from the cage body 1. A water inlet pipe 9 is provided inside the cage body 1. One end of the water inlet pipe 9 is connected to an external water source for injecting water into the cage body 1. The drainage component includes a drain 3, a plug 4, and a base 5. The base 5 is connected to the drain 3 and is used to fix the drain 3. The drain 3 is connected to the cage body 1 and is used to discharge wastewater from the cage body 1. The plug 4 is inserted into the drain 3 and is used to close or open the drain 3. The cage body 1 has an installation hole, and the drain 3 is placed in the installation hole to provide a connection channel for the plug 4 and the base 5.
[0032] By placing the mesh 1 between the base 5 and the drain 3, and connecting the base 5 and the fixing ring 6 at the bottom of the drain 3 with threads, the drain 3 can be rotated to make the installation between the base 5 and the fixing ring 6 stable. When the mesh 1 needs to be replaced, the mesh 1 can be easily disassembled by unscrewing the connection between the fixing ring 6 and the base 5, avoiding damage to the drain 3 and other components and reducing maintenance costs.
[0033] In use, first connect the net body 1 to the bracket 2. Then, rotate the drain 3 and use the threaded connection between the fixing ring 6 and the base 5 to securely install the drain 3 and the base 5, ensuring stable installation between the drain 3 and the net body 1. Next, check that the plug 4 is securely installed with the drain 3. Then, turn on the external water source, which fills the net body 1 with water through the inlet pipe 9 to create the aquaculture environment. During the aquaculture process, when it is necessary to discharge aquaculture wastewater from the net body 1, pull out the plug 4, and the wastewater will be discharged from the net body 1 through the drain 3. In routine maintenance or when the net body 1 is damaged or aged and needs to be replaced, unscrew the connection between the fixing ring 6 and the base 5 to separate the net body 1 from the drain 3, allowing the net body 1 to be disassembled for replacement. The operation is simple and efficient, avoiding damage to components such as the drain 3 and reducing maintenance costs.
[0034] Specifically, a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the base 5 to drain wastewater; in order to make the breeding space formed by the net body 1 more stable, a fixing frame 8 is set inside the net body 1 to limit and fix the net body 1; in order to facilitate personnel to enter and exit the net body 1, an entrance is also opened on the side of the net body 1; the drain 3 is circular in shape, which makes it easy to rotate the fixing ring 6 by rotating the drain 3, and avoids the problem of the sharp edge of the drain 3 causing wear and tear on the net body 1.
[0035] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The connecting structure includes a retaining ring 6 and a sealing element 7. The sealing element 7 is connected to the retaining ring 6 and is used to squeeze the connection between the drainage component and the mesh body 1. The retaining ring 6 is connected to the floor drain 3 and is used to provide support for the sealing element 7. The base 5 is provided with an annular mounting groove. One of the inner walls of the annular mounting groove and the inner wall of the retaining ring 6 are both provided with threaded grooves. The retaining ring 6 and the base 5 are connected by the threaded grooves. The base 5 and the retaining ring 6 are installed or removed by threaded engagement. The inner wall of the annular mounting groove fits against the sealing element 7.
[0036] The mounting groove provides an installation position for the mesh 1 at the edge of the mounting hole. During the connection between the fixing ring 6 and the base 5, the sealing element 7 will squeeze and seal the above part of the mesh 1, which ensures that the mesh 1 and the drain 3 are firmly connected. At the same time, the sealing element 7 prevents the fixing ring 6 or the base 5 from damaging the mesh 1 due to rotational friction during the threaded connection.
[0037] During installation, the mesh 1 at the edge of the mounting hole is inserted into the annular mounting groove. Then, the fixing ring 6 is rotated into the annular mounting groove. During this process, the sealing element 7 contacts the mesh 1 and the sealing element 7 will squeeze the mesh 1, making the connection between the mesh 1 and the drain 3 stable and not easy to loosen.
[0038] Specifically, the seal 7 can be a component with a certain sealing performance, such as a rubber sleeve or a sealing ring.
[0039] The following is a detailed description of the use of a net cage for ecological aquaculture:
[0040] During installation, first securely fix bracket 2, then securely connect net body 1 and bracket 2, and then install fixing bracket 8 to ensure the net body 1 is securely installed. Next, insert the net body 1 at the edge of the mounting hole into the annular mounting groove, and then rotate the drain 3. Use the threaded connection between fixing ring 6 and base 5 to securely install the drain 3 and base 5, ensuring the stable installation between drain 3 and net body 1. During this process, sealing element 7 contacts net body 1 and squeezes net body 1, making the connection between net body 1 and drain 3 secure and not easy to loosen. Next, check that the plug 4 is securely installed with drain 3, and then turn on the external water source. The external water source injects water into net body 1 through water inlet pipe 9 to create an aquaculture water environment. During the aquaculture process, when it is necessary to discharge the aquaculture wastewater in the net body 1, the plug 4 is pulled out and the wastewater is discharged from the net body 1 through the drain 3. In the case of routine maintenance or when the net body 1 is damaged or aged and needs to be replaced, the connection between the fixing ring 6 and the base 5 is unscrewed to separate the net body 1 and the drain 3, so that the net body 1 can be disassembled for replacement. The operation process is simple and efficient, avoiding damage to the drain 3 and other components, and reducing maintenance costs.
