Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture and marine resource development technology, and more specifically, to a self-regulating marine aquaculture platform. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of the social economy, marine aquaculture areas have gradually moved from near-shallow seas to deep seas, and the materials of aquaculture cages have been upgraded, resulting in larger aquaculture spaces, longer service lives, and less pollution to the ocean; the cage structure has also been optimized layer by layer, making it more resistant to wind and waves and more functional.

[0003] At the same time, various types of floating wind turbines with floating foundations have emerged in the market. Due to the limited marine space resources, the development of hybrid multi-functional floating wind power platform equipment has become one of the key development directions for the future.

[0004] Therefore, integrating floating wind power generation with fish cage aquaculture is a viable solution that can not only conserve marine space resources but also address the power supply issues in deep-sea fish cage aquaculture. However, in practical applications, it has been found that traditional floating wind turbines, which use steel floats combined with pumps to regulate seawater flow for attitude stability, suffer from poor stability. When there are winds and waves, the cages are prone to excessive rocking, causing fish to escape. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a self-regulating offshore aquaculture platform to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a self-adjusting offshore aquaculture platform to solve the economic damage caused by fish escaping from aquaculture cages when encountering wind and waves due to the poor stability of floating wind turbines when combining existing aquaculture cages with floating wind turbines.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a self-adjusting offshore aquaculture platform is provided, comprising a mounting frame and an aquaculture tank disposed between the mounting frame. A wind turbine generator is provided at the top of the mounting frame, and an automatic center-of-gravity adjustment structure is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame. The bottom of the automatic center-of-gravity adjustment structure is fixed to the seabed by a connecting chain and a seabed anchor. The automatic center-of-gravity adjustment structure includes a support rod and a mounting seat with an internal cavity. A rectangular adjustment seat is installed inside the cavity. An X-axis slide rail is provided in the X-axis direction of the adjustment seat. A support seat is provided on the X-axis slide rail. A Y-axis slide rail is provided on the support seat, and a counterweight is slidably disposed on the Y-axis slide rail.

[0007] Based on the above scheme, a limiting seat is preferably provided at the four corners of the adjusting seat and the four corners of the supporting seat.

[0008] Based on the above scheme, a buffer pad is preferably provided on the limiting seat.

[0009] Preferably, based on the above scheme, the bottom of the counterweight is provided with a slider that is adapted to the Y-axis slide rail.

[0010] Based on the above-mentioned scheme, the preferred embodiment of the wind turbine head includes a support rod and a wind turbine blade, wherein the wind turbine blade is mounted on the support rod and the support rod is mounted on the mounting frame.

[0011] Preferably, based on the above scheme, the mounting bracket is mounted on the mounting base via the support rod.

[0012] Preferably, based on the above scheme, the bottom of the support rod is arc-shaped and connected to the mounting base.

[0013] Based on the above scheme, the preferred option is that all the mounting bases are hollow concrete structures.

[0014] Preferably, based on the above scheme, the surface of the support rod is coated with a carbon fiber protective corrosion-resistant coating.

[0015] Based on the above scheme, the preferred embodiment is that the breeding box includes a rectangular frame and a breeding net, the breeding net is wrapped around the rectangular frame, and the rectangular frame is connected to the support rod.

[0016] This utility model discloses a self-adjusting offshore aquaculture platform. By improving the mounting base at the bottom of the wind turbine head and utilizing the center of gravity adjustment mechanism at the bottom of the mounting base, when the wind turbine head encounters the force of sea wind, the weight body slides in the opposite direction of the tilt through the sliding of the Y-axis and X-axis slide rails on the adjustment base and support base. The body quickly recovers its posture through inertia, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting its stability and avoiding the problem of fish escaping due to excessive floating of the net cage under wave fluctuations.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-adjusting offshore aquaculture platform, which aims to solve the problems of poor stability and easy escape of fish in wind and waves when existing aquaculture cages are combined with floating wind turbines.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the platform mainly includes a mounting frame 10, an aquaculture tank 20, a wind turbine generator 30, an automatic center of gravity adjustment structure 40, a connecting chain 50, and a seabed anchor 60. The aquaculture tank 20 is arranged between the mounting frames 10, the wind turbine generator 30 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 10, and the automatic center of gravity adjustment structure 40 is located at the bottom of the mounting frame 10. The bottom of the automatic center of gravity adjustment structure 40 is connected to the seabed anchor 60 (the seabed anchor 60 is fixed to the seabed) through the connecting chain 50. The automatic center of gravity adjustment structure 40 enables attitude self-adjustment and improves overall stability.

[0035] The mounting frame 10 serves as the support skeleton for the platform. In this embodiment, the surface of the support rod 11 is coated with a carbon fiber protective corrosion-resistant coating (not shown) to enhance its resistance to seawater corrosion.

[0036] The aquaculture box 20 of this utility model is used for marine aquaculture, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a rectangular frame 21 and an aquaculture net 22; the aquaculture net 22 is wrapped around the rectangular frame 21 to form an enclosed aquaculture space; the rectangular frame 21 is fixedly connected to the support rod 11 of the mounting frame 10 (such as by welding or bolting), and is suspended at sea by the support of the mounting frame 10.

[0037] The wind turbine head 30 is used to generate electricity using offshore winds, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a wind turbine 31 and a wind turbine blade 32; the wind turbine blade 32 is rotatably mounted on the top of the wind turbine 31, and the bottom end of the wind turbine 31 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 10 (such as being connected to the top of the support rod 11). The wind turbine blade 32 receives wind energy and converts it into electrical energy.

[0038] The automatic center of gravity adjustment structure 40 is the core component for achieving attitude self-adjustment, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a support rod 11 (shared with the mounting bracket 10) and a mounting base 42; the mounting base 42 is a hollow structure with an internal cavity 421. In this embodiment, the mounting base 42 is made of concrete (the hollow structure provides buoyancy), balancing structural strength and buoyancy. The bottom of the support rod 11 is arc-shaped (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown in Figure 111), it is connected to the mounting base 42 of the automatic center of gravity adjustment structure 40, and the arc transition reduces stress concentration.

[0039] The accommodating cavity 421 is equipped with an adjusting seat 43, which is rectangular; the X-axis direction of the adjusting seat 43 (e.g., Figure 2 An X-axis slide rail 431 is fixedly installed in the X direction, and a support seat 44 is slidably installed on the X-axis slide rail 431 (the support seat 44 can slide back and forth along the X-axis slide rail 431).

[0040] Support 44 along the Y-axis direction (e.g.) Figure 2 A Y-axis slide rail 441 is fixedly installed in the Y-direction (the Y-axis is perpendicular to the X-axis). A counterweight block 45 (a high-density weight, such as a concrete block or iron block) is slidably mounted on the Y-axis slide rail 441. A slider 451 adapted to the Y-axis slide rail 441 is provided at the bottom of the counterweight block 45. Figure 2 As shown, slider 451 is embedded in Y-axis slide rail 441 to achieve stable sliding of counterweight 45 along Y-axis slide rail 441.

[0041] To prevent excessive sliding of the support base 44 along the X-axis slide rail 431 and the counterweight block 45 along the Y-axis slide rail 441, limit seats 46 are provided at the four corners of the adjusting base 43 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), limit seats 46 are also provided on the four corners of the support seat 44; buffer pads 461, such as rubber pads, are fixedly provided on the limit seats 46 to buffer the collision impact between the support seat 44 and the adjustment seat 43, and between the counterweight block 45 and the support seat 44.

[0042] The connecting chain 50 is a high-strength chain. One end of it is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 42 of the automatic center of gravity adjustment structure 40, and the other end is fixedly connected to the seabed anchor 60 (such as a concrete anchor or steel anchor). The connecting chain 50 limits the horizontal displacement range of the platform and helps to improve stability.

[0043] When the offshore aquaculture platform of this embodiment tilts due to sea wind, i.e., the force exerted on the wind turbine head 30, or the action of sea waves:

[0044] If the platform tilts along the X-axis (e.g., tilts towards the positive X-axis), the support 44 slides along the X-axis slide rail 431 in the opposite direction of the X-axis due to inertia, causing the counterweight 45 to move in the opposite direction of the tilt, thus offsetting the tilting force through the shift of the center of gravity.

[0045] If the platform tilts along the Y-axis (e.g., tilts towards the positive Y-axis), the counterweight 45 slides in the opposite direction of the Y-axis along the Y-axis slide rail 441 due to inertia, and the tilting force is offset by the shift of the center of gravity.

[0046] If the platform tilts along the combined X and Y axes, the support base 44 and the counterweight 45 slide in opposite directions along the X and Y axes respectively (combined motion) to achieve adaptive adjustment of the center of gravity.

[0047] During the process, the limiting seat 46 restricts the sliding stroke of the support seat 44 and the counterweight 45, and the buffer pad 461 absorbs the impact of the collision to avoid structural damage. Through the above adjustment, the platform can quickly restore a stable posture, reduce the violent shaking of the breeding box 20, and thus prevent the fish in the breeding net 22 from escaping due to excessive shaking.

[0048] This utility model discloses a self-adjusting offshore aquaculture platform. By improving the mounting base at the bottom of the wind turbine head and utilizing the center of gravity adjustment mechanism at the bottom of the mounting base, when the wind turbine head encounters the force of sea wind, the weight body slides in the opposite direction of the tilt through the sliding of the Y-axis and X-axis slide rails on the adjustment base and support base. The body quickly recovers its posture through inertia, thereby adjusting its stability and avoiding the problem of fish escaping due to excessive floating of the net cage under wave fluctuations.

[0049] 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.
