Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a deep-sea cage cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Deep-sea cages are commonly used tools in marine aquaculture. With the development of marine aquaculture technology, cage culture has gradually expanded to deep-sea areas, and more and more seafood products are now being cultured in deep-sea cages. Because cages are placed in the sea for extended periods, they easily accumulate hard seabed objects such as barnacles and shellfish. Once these objects adhere to the cages, they are difficult to remove, and because the cages are far from the shore, it is not convenient to pull them out of the sea for cleaning.
[0003] A deep-sea cage cleaning device, with announcement number CN220635683U, uses a rotating ring to drive bristles to clean the surface of the cage. Simultaneously, a sliding bracket has two symmetrically arranged perforated rectangular protrusions on its outer wall, and four rectangular protrusions with one semi-circular end arranged in an array on the outer wall of the sliding bracket. The sliding bracket is designed as a sliding device, with a steel wire rope fixed inside the perforated rectangular protrusions. By controlling the length of the steel wire rope, the sliding bracket moves up and down. The user determines the dwell time of the rotating ring at different positions on the cage surface according to the degree of blockage in different parts of the cage. The cleaning is thorough and effective. However, the netting on the cage surface is a flexible structure; as the bristles rotate, the netting swings and deforms inward, causing the bristles to separate from the netting, which affects the removal of debris from the netting.

[0029] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1-5This application provides a deep-sea cage cleaning device, including a cage 1, an upper support frame 2, a lower support frame 3, a support base 4, a sliding bracket 5, an airbag assembly 6, and a cleaning device 7. The upper support frame 2 is fixed to the top of the cage 1, and the support base 4 is fixedly installed above the upper support frame 2. A drive motor 8 is provided at the top of the support base 4, and a bracket 9 is provided at the bottom of the support base 4 at the location of the drive motor 8. The drive motor 8 passes through the support base 4 and is connected to a rope winding wheel 10 located on the bracket 9. The rope winding wheel 10 has two rope winding grooves 11, and steel wire ropes 12 are wound on both rope winding grooves 11. The two steel wire ropes 12 pass through the bracket 9 and are fixedly connected to the sliding bracket 5 and the airbag assembly 6, respectively. The lower support frame 3 is fixed to the lower periphery of the cage 1, and the upper support frame 2 and the lower support frame 3 are fixedly installed together. The system includes a first guide rod 13, a sliding bracket 5 mounted on the first guide rod 13, a cleaning device 7 including a rotating ring 701 and bristles 702, the rotating ring 701 being rotatably disposed inside the sliding bracket 5, the inner wall of the rotating ring 701 having a plurality of bristles 702, and the outer wall of the rotating ring 701 having a gear ring 703, a rotary motor 14 being fixedly mounted on one side of the sliding bracket 5 by bolts, a gear 15 being fixedly connected to the end of the rotary motor 14, and the gear 15 meshing with the gear ring 703, the bottom of the net box 1 being a solid base plate 16, a second guide rod 17 being fixedly mounted between the upper support frame 2 and the solid base plate 16, an airbag assembly 6 being mounted on the second guide rod 17, the airbag assembly 6 abutting against the net box 1, and the airbag assembly 6 being at the same height as the cleaning device 7.
[0030] In use, the drive motor 8 on the support base 4 is started, which drives the winding wheel 10 connected to the drive motor 8 to rotate. At the same time, the wire rope 12 in the winding groove 11 is released or wound back. The winding wheel 10 has two winding grooves 11. One wire rope 12 is folded in half and pressed into the winding wheel 10 for winding. The two ends of the rope are led out from the two wire rope 12 outlets on the bracket 9 at the same height as the winding groove 11. The wire rope 12 in the other winding groove 11 is wound in the same way. The two wire ropes 12 are fixedly connected to the sliding bracket 5 and the airbag assembly 6, respectively. By controlling the length of the wire rope 12, the sliding bracket 5 and the airbag assembly 6 connected to the wire rope 12 slide up and down simultaneously on the first guide rod 13 and the second guide rod 17. The user can determine the dwell time of the sliding bracket 5 at different positions on the surface of the net cage 1 according to the degree of blockage in different parts of the net cage 1. This facilitates the cleaning of the net cage 1 by the rotating ring 701 located in the sliding bracket 5, and the cleaning effect is good, improving efficiency. To improve cleaning efficiency, the two rope grooves 11 are respectively wound with steel wire ropes 12 connected to the sliding bracket 5 and the airbag assembly 6, which can prevent knotting when winding the steel wire ropes 12, thus improving the practicality of the device. When the sliding bracket 5 and the airbag assembly 6 stop at the position of the net box 1 to be cleaned, the airbag assembly 6, which abuts against the net box 1, supports the netting on the net box 1, making it easier for the rotating ring 701, located at the same height outside the net box 1, to rotate and drive the bristles 702 to clean the debris on the net box 1. At the same time, it prevents the netting from swinging and deforming inward, thus improving cleaning efficiency. The rotating motor 14 is started, which drives the gear 15 to rotate. The rotating ring 701 rotates through the transmission cooperation between the gear ring 703 on the outer wall of the rotating ring 701 and the gear 15. At the same time, the bristles 702 on the inner wall of the rotating ring 701 clean the net box 1, making it clean and highly practical.
