Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment, and in particular to a multi-layer partitioned aquaculture cage. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-layer partitioned aquaculture cages are a type of modular, three-dimensional aquaculture equipment. They consist of multiple independent, layered aquaculture compartments stacked vertically with reinforced frames. Their core feature is the ability to achieve symbiotic aquaculture of different sizes of aquatic products (such as shrimp farming in the upper layer, fish fry breeding in the middle layer, and filter-feeding shellfish farming in the bottom layer) through physical separation. This increases the stocking density, reduces cross-infection of diseases, and is suitable for nearshore and deep-sea cage aquaculture scenarios.

[0003] Currently available aquaculture cages are complex to operate, inconvenient to install and disassemble, have insufficiently sturdy stacking of frames, low maintenance efficiency, and the netting used in aquaculture cages for a long time is prone to corrosion or damage, requiring regular maintenance and repair.

It also features a fixing structure to secure the multiple layers of aquaculture cages together and uses partitions to separate different aquatic organisms, enabling symbiotic aquaculture, increasing stocking density, and each layer has an independent door for easy removal and placement of aquatic organisms.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-layer partitioned aquaculture cage includes a support base, the bottom of which is provided with a detachable structure, and the top of which is provided with two fixing structures.

[0008] The disassembly structure includes two compression grooves located inside the support base. A compression spring is fixedly connected inside the compression groove. A limit block is fixedly connected to one side of the compression spring. A locking rod is fixedly connected inside the limit block. A sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the support base. A mesh is provided inside the sliding groove. Both ends of the mesh are provided with locking slots, which engage with the locking rod.

[0009] The above technical solution, with its disassembly structure, enables rapid replacement of the netting, improving maintenance efficiency, ensuring the usability of the netting, preventing the escape of aquatic organisms, and allowing for segmented disassembly without the need for overall hoisting of the net cage, thus reducing work difficulty and extending the service life of the netting.

[0017] The above technical solution allows for the installation of a switch door without requiring overall disassembly, facilitating individual feeding and convenient removal and placement of corresponding aquatic organisms.

[0018] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the mesh cover;

[0019] Using the above technical solution, the mesh can be unlocked by the disassembly structure, and then the handle can be pulled to remove the mesh.

[0020] Furthermore, the top of the support base is provided with a top plate, and the bottom of the top plate is fixedly connected with four fixed columns;

This limits the activity range of fish, prevents aquatic organisms from escaping, and improves the availability of the equipment and the service life of the net.

[0024] 2. The multi-layer partitioned aquaculture cage proposed in this utility model uses a fixed structure, with locking posts and fixing holes, to firmly fix the fixing posts and support base together, thereby quickly building a multi-layer aquaculture cage. The operation is simple and the installation efficiency is improved. By using limiting grooves and partition plates, the aquaculture compartments inside the aquaculture cage are divided into partitions, thereby building a multi-layer partitioned aquaculture cage, separating different aquatic organisms, realizing symbiotic aquaculture, and increasing the aquaculture density.

[0025] 3. The multi-layer partitioned aquaculture cage proposed in this utility model can remove and put in aquatic organisms in each layer of the aquaculture chamber separately by setting up opening and closing doors, without disassembling the overall structure. The modular design enables single-chamber operation without disassembling the cage, thus improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description
