Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cage aquaculture equipment, and in particular to a clamp-type double-layer cage support, which is used for the construction of double-layer cages on the ground and facilitates the connection and fixation of vertical support pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, double-layer net cages are widely used in aquaculture and other fields, especially in deep-sea aquaculture. They fully utilize the vertical space of the water body to cultivate fish with different habits in different layers, increasing yield per unit volume of water; they optimize water circulation, improve water quality and dissolved oxygen levels, and alleviate bottom-layer hypoxia; their double-protection structure enhances escape and predator resistance, reducing fish stress; they are easy to manage; they also have strong risk resistance, adapting to harsh weather and reducing losses; and they offer significant economic benefits, with high unit output and reasonable cost distribution.
[0003] However, traditional connection and fixing methods present numerous inconveniences during the construction of double-layer net cages. For example, common methods of net cage support, such as welding or integral injection molding, make it difficult to accurately align the various components during construction, especially for the connection and installation of the upper and lower net cages, resulting in complex and inefficient operations. Furthermore, once installed, traditional supports are difficult to adjust, hindering adaptation to different usage scenarios and needs, and leading to high maintenance costs. In addition, some existing supports occupy a large amount of space during transportation, making them inconvenient to handle and store, which also increases usage costs. These problems severely affect the construction speed and quality of double-layer net cages, limiting the development of the net cage aquaculture industry. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Technical problems to be solved
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a clamp-type double-layer cage support that facilitates the construction of double-layer cages on the ground and makes it easy to connect the upper and lower cages.
[0006] Technical solution
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a clamp-type double-layer cage support based on vertical support pipe connection is provided, including: upper support, lower support, circular through hole, threaded hole for flange connection, semi-circular groove, small circular opening, boss, and boss threaded hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper bracket and the lower bracket constitute the main structure. Furthermore, the circular through hole is located at the center of the upper bracket and the lower bracket, in a vertical direction. Furthermore, the threaded hole for flange connection is located around the circular through hole. Furthermore, the semi-circular groove is located at both ends of the upper bracket and the lower bracket, in a horizontal direction. Furthermore, the small circular opening is located on the side of the semi-circular groove. Furthermore, the boss is located around the upper bracket and the lower bracket. Furthermore, the threaded hole of the boss is located on the boss. Beneficial effects
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: First, it facilitates construction. The support body of this invention can be separated into upper and lower halves and connected together by bolts and nuts. When constructing double-layer gabions on water or land, the threaded holes on the bosses allow for quick connection and assembly using bolts and nuts. Furthermore, the circular openings allow for simultaneous installation of the two-layer supports on the ground, after which the upper support can be hoisted to the set height. This improves the construction efficiency of double-layer gabions while reducing construction difficulty. Second, it is easy to maintain. When individual gabion supports are damaged or require repair, unlike the integrated design of traditional supports, simply loosening the bolts and nuts allows for easy separation of the upper and lower parts, facilitating internal inspection and repair, and reducing maintenance costs. Third, the connection is stable. Circular holes are used to thread vertical pipes, which are then fixed to the flanges using anti-loosening screws and threaded holes. The stable fit between the vertical pipes and the support provides reliable support for the double-layer gabions. Simultaneously, the design of small circular openings, threaded holes for flange connections, and threaded holes on the bosses further enhances the tightness and stability of the support connection, ensuring the overall performance and safety of the gabions.

[0012] To explain the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3. A clamp-type double-layer gabion support based on vertical support pipe connection is provided, including: an upper support 1, a lower support 2, a circular through hole 3, a threaded hole for flange connection 4, a semi-circular groove 5, a small circular opening 6, a boss 7, and a boss threaded hole 8.
[0013] Further, the upper bracket 1 and the lower bracket 2 constitute the main structure. Further, the circular through hole 3 is located at the center of the upper bracket 1 and the lower bracket 2, in a vertical direction. Further, the flange connection threaded hole 4 is located around the circular through hole 3. Further, the semi-circular groove 5 is located at both ends of the upper bracket 1 and the lower bracket 2, in a horizontal direction. Further, the small circular opening 6 is located on the side of the semi-circular groove 5. Further, the boss 7 is located around the upper bracket 1 and the lower bracket 2. Further, the boss threaded hole 8 is located on the boss 7.
[0014] The installation process of a clamp-type double-layer gabion support is briefly described below: First, place the pipe with an outer diameter matching the width of the semi-circular groove 5 into the semi-circular groove 5 of the lower support 2. Then, align the upper support 1 with the support 2, and secure them with bolts and nuts through the threaded holes 8 on the bosses 7 evenly distributed around the upper support 1 and the lower support 2. Repeat this step to stack the double-layer gabion supports together, resulting in two upper supports 1 and two lower supports 2, as shown in Figure 5. Next, pass the vertical pipe through the circular through hole 3 and secure it with the flange connection threaded holes 4 using anti-loosening screws. There are multiple flange connection threaded holes 4, evenly distributed around the circumference of the circular through hole 3. After completing the installation of all gabion supports, hoist the supports stacked on top and the pipes in the horizontal position. After hoisting, secure the upper support 1 with the vertical pipe using the flange connection threaded holes 4, thus completing the installation, as shown in Figure 6. If it is necessary to install a work platform footboard or buoyancy tube, the tube can be threaded through the four small circular openings 6, which are evenly distributed along the side of the semi-circular groove 5. If it is necessary to improve the structural strength and rigidity, reinforcing ribs can be provided on the outer walls of the upper support 1 and the lower support 2.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: First, it facilitates construction. The support body of this invention can be separated into upper and lower halves and connected together by bolts and nuts. When constructing double-layer gabions on water or land, quick connection and assembly can be completed using bolts and nuts through the threaded holes 8 on the boss 7. Furthermore, the circular opening 3 allows for simultaneous installation of the double-layer support on the ground, after which the upper support can be hoisted to the set height. This improves the construction efficiency of double-layer gabions while reducing construction difficulty. Second, it is easy to maintain. When individual gabion supports are damaged or require repair, unlike the integrated design of traditional supports, the upper and lower parts can be easily separated simply by loosening the bolts and nuts, facilitating internal inspection and repair and reducing maintenance costs. Third, the connection is stable. The circular holes are used to thread vertical pipes, which are then fixed to the flanges using threaded holes via anti-loosening screws. The stable fit between the vertical pipes and the support provides reliable support for the double-layer gabions. Meanwhile, the design of small circular opening 3, threaded hole 4 for flange connection, and threaded hole 8 for boss further enhances the tightness and stability of the support connection, ensuring the overall performance and safety of the cage.
[0016] In summary, the vertically split cage support based on vertical support pipe connection of this utility model can effectively improve the efficiency and convenience of double-layer cage construction on the ground, and is of great significance to the development of double-layer cages.
