Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology using floating bodies that float on seawater, and more specifically, to a wind and wave resistant aquaculture cage. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the development of the social economy, marine aquaculture areas have gradually expanded from near-shore and shallow waters to deep seas, and various types of aquaculture cages have undergone upgrades, forming a relatively complete aquaculture cage system. However, the current functions of aquaculture cages are mostly limited to mobility functions such as resistance to wind and waves and adjustment with water levels. To better meet the safety, quality, and environmental protection requirements of marine aquaculture, improving the multifunctional features of aquaculture cages has become a trend.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a wind and wave resistant aquaculture cage suitable for wastewater treatment with high sand content, high oil content, and high scum content. It is especially suitable for pretreatment aerated grit chambers and pretreatment dissolved air flotation chambers. It can improve the grit settling effect and the separation effect of oil and scum under limited aeration, which is of great significance to the energy consumption and operation effect of the system.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0022] It should be understood that, when used in this specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of a descriptive feature, integral, step, operation, element, and / or component, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or sets.
[0023] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts relevant to this invention are shown schematically in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled.

[0026] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0027] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a wind and wave resistant aquaculture cage 2, which includes multiple floats 1 and cages 2. The floats 1 are spliced together to form a frame structure 14, and the cages 2 are installed on the frame structure 14.
[0029] For a detailed explanation of the technical solution of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figure 2 As shown, the internal wall of the float 1 of this utility model is rectangular, including a bottom wall 11, a side wall 12 surrounding the bottom wall 11 and a cover 13. The cover 13 covers the top of the space surrounded by the bottom wall 11 and the side wall 12. The cover 13 is made of high-density polyethylene. Multiple connectors 15 for connecting the float 1 to each other are provided on the outer edge of the cover 13.
[0030] Specifically, the connector 15 of this utility model includes a first connector 16 disposed on one pair of opposite sides and a second connector 17 disposed on the other pair of opposite sides; the first connector 16 includes an upper fastening portion 161 with a fastening hole extending in the vertical direction, and a lower recess 162 with a long groove extending in the vertical direction on both sides of the upper fastening portion 161; the second connector 17 includes a lower fastening portion 171 with a fastening hole extending in the vertical direction, and an upper recess 172 with a long groove extending in the vertical direction on both sides of the lower fastening portion 171.
[0031] When adjacent floats 1 are connected to each other, they are spliced together. The upper fastening part 161 of float 1 engages with the upper recess 172 of the adjacent float 1, and the lower recess 162 of float 1 engages with the lower fastening part 171 of the adjacent float 1. Fastening bolts 163 are inserted into the fastening holes to lock them in place, so that the adjacent floats 1 form an integral structure. It should be noted that the shape of the float 1 is selected according to actual needs, and a rectangular structure is preferred. These structural features make it robust and resistant to damage from wave vibration. Moreover, the rectangular structure of the float 1 can be selected to continuously combine n floats 1 to form a closed square according to actual needs, thus facilitating the construction or expansion of aquaculture farms.
[0032] The upper end face of the cover 13 of this utility model is provided with a cross-shaped fixing groove 181. The fixing groove 181 has a U-shaped cross section. A fixing rod 18 is installed in the fixing groove 181. A locking cover 182 is provided on the top of the fixing rod 18. Bolts 163 that are inserted into the upper fastening part 161 and the lower fastening part 171 are installed at both ends of the locking cover 182.
[0033] To secure multiple floats 1 arranged in a row, a fixing rod 18 is placed in a cross-shaped U-shaped fixing groove 181 and secured by a locking cap 182 and bolts 163. This ensures stability and prevents the floats from being easily rocked by waves.
[0034] Preferably, the present invention also has a variable buoyancy column 3 suspended at the bottom of the float 1, and a counterweight 4 is installed at the bottom of the variable buoyancy column 3.
[0035] Finally, the method described in this application is merely a preferred embodiment and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
