Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing cage technology, specifically a live aquaculture fishing cage. Background Technology
[0002] Aquaculture is an important part of my country's agricultural economy, and live harvesting is a key step in the grading, sales, and transportation processes of aquaculture. Fishing traps are one of the most commonly used tools in this process.
[0003] Currently, most fishing cages used in aquaculture farms are fixed mesh cage structures. These fishing cages are usually made of metal or plastic frames covered with netting, or directly made of rigid materials with fixed-diameter holes. A search revealed a utility model patent with patent authorization announcement number CN216533362U, which discloses a fish and shrimp catching device for aquaculture, including a scoop ring and a sealing assembly. The scoop ring has a scoop net fixedly connected to its upper inner wall, and a scoop handle fixedly connected to its outer arc front end. The scoop handle includes an outer sleeve and a core column, with the core column fixedly connected to the outer arc front end of the scoop ring. The outer sleeve is slidably connected to the outer surface of the core column. A rack ring is rotatably connected to the lower inner end of the scoop ring. The scoop handle also includes a telescopic motor, a screw, and a battery, with the telescopic motor and battery both located at the front end of the outer sleeve.
[0004] However, when existing fishing gear catches live aquatic organisms in aquaculture ponds, various live aquatic organisms are caught together and then sorted, which is quite troublesome. In addition, traditional fishing cages are usually equipped with handles of fixed length, which is inconvenient when it is necessary to catch live aquatic organisms in the center of the aquaculture pond, deep in the net cage, or in a more distant area. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a live aquaculture trap that solves the problems of poor applicability, fixed length, and inconvenience of use of existing traps.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a live aquaculture trap, comprising a large trap, a small trap rotatably connected inside the large trap, a mesh adjustment mechanism shared between the large trap and the small trap, a fixed base fixedly connected to the outer wall of the large trap, a hollow cylinder fixedly connected to the fixed base, an adjustment sleeve mounted on the inner side of the end opening of the hollow cylinder via a bearing, an adjustment screw threadedly connected to the inner side of the adjustment sleeve, the adjustment screw penetrating the adjustment sleeve, a handle fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment screw, and a locking mechanism shared between the adjustment sleeve and the hollow cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, both the large and small fishing cages have through holes on their side walls and bottoms, and the positions of the through holes correspond to each other. The diameters of the through holes in the large and small fishing cages are different.
[0008] Preferably, a square rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the hollow cylinder, and the square rod is slidably connected to the adjusting screw. The square rod guides the axial movement of the adjusting sleeve within the hollow cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the mesh adjustment mechanism includes an L-shaped frame fixedly connected to the outer wall of the small trap. A locking pin is slidably connected to the vertical part of the L-shaped frame. The locking pin passes through the L-shaped frame. One end of the locking pin is inserted into the outer wall of the large trap, and the other end of the locking pin is fixedly connected to a connecting piece. A pull ring is fixedly connected to the connecting piece. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the locking pin. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting piece, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the vertical part of the L-shaped frame. The mesh adjustment mechanism allows for adjustment of the mesh size after the through holes of the large and small traps are misaligned.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the large trap is fixedly connected with a protruding ring, and the outer wall of the small trap has an annular groove, with the protruding ring slidably connected to the annular groove. The protruding ring provides a vertical limiting effect between the large and small traps.
[0011] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a locking disc fixedly connected to the outside of the adjusting sleeve, a locking sleeve fixedly connected to the outside of the hollow cylinder, a pin slidably connected inside the locking sleeve, the pin passing through the locking disc and slidably connected to the locking disc, a second spring disposed inside the locking sleeve, one end of the second spring fixedly connected to the pin, and the other end of the second spring fixedly connected to the inner surface of the locking sleeve, and a lever fixedly connected to the pin body of the pin, the lever slidably connected to the locking sleeve. The locking mechanism prevents loosening of the adjusting sleeve, thereby improving the stability after adjustment by the adjusting screw.
[0012] Preferably, a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the outer side of the lever body, a connecting strip is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve, and a rubber retaining bead is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting strip. The rubber retaining bead engages with the locking sleeve. The sliding sleeve, connecting strip, and rubber retaining bead provide an anti-loosening function for the lever and the pin.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model features two different sized fishing cages, both with through holes of different diameters. The smaller cage is nested inside the larger cage via a convex ring and a groove, and can rotate relative to it. By rotating the smaller cage, the overlapping area of the through holes on both cages can be changed, thus achieving stepless adjustment of the mesh size. The mesh adjustment mechanism locks the position of the smaller cage after adjustment, adapting to the fishing needs of aquatic creatures of different sizes. It is simple to operate, highly practical, and effectively improves fishing efficiency and selectivity.
[0015] 2. This utility model, through the coordinated design of the locking mechanism, adjusting screw, and square rod, allows the adjusting screw to be smoothly advanced by rotating the adjusting sleeve. Combined with the locking effect of the pin and locking disc, it prevents loosening after adjustment. In this way, the overall length can be adjusted to meet the purpose of harvesting live aquatic products in different areas of the aquaculture pond. Attached Figure Description

The square rod 10 guides the axial movement of the adjusting sleeve 6 within the hollow cylinder 5.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 A mesh adjustment mechanism 3 is provided between the large trap 1 and the small trap 2. This mechanism adjusts the mesh size after the through holes in the large trap 1 and the small trap 2 are misaligned. The mesh adjustment mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped frame 31 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the small trap 2. A locking pin 32 is slidably connected to the vertical part of the L-shaped frame 31, penetrating the L-shaped frame 31. One end of the locking pin 32 is inserted into the outer wall of the large trap 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to a connecting piece 33. A pull ring 34 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 33. A spring 35 is sleeved on the outside of the locking pin 32. One end of the spring 35 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 33, and the other end is fixedly connected to the vertical part of the L-shaped frame 31. A protruding ring 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the large trap 1, and a ring groove is formed on the outer wall of the small trap 2. The protruding ring 36 is slidably connected to the ring groove. The convex ring 36 provides a vertical limiting function between the large trap 1 and the small trap 2.
[0026] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6A locking mechanism 8 is provided between the adjusting sleeve 6 and the hollow cylinder 5. The locking mechanism 8 prevents loosening of the adjusting sleeve 6, thereby improving the stability of the adjusting screw 7 after adjustment. The locking mechanism 8 includes a locking disc 81 fixedly connected to the outside of the adjusting sleeve 6, a locking sleeve 82 fixedly connected to the outside of the hollow cylinder 5, a pin 83 slidably connected inside the locking sleeve 82, the pin 83 passing through the locking disc 81 and slidably connected to it, a second spring 84 inside the locking sleeve 82, one end of the second spring 84 fixedly connected to the pin 83, and the other end fixedly connected to the inner surface of the locking sleeve 82, a lever 85 fixedly connected to the pin of the pin 83, and the lever 85 slidably connected to the locking sleeve 82.

The sliding sleeve 86, connecting strip 87, and rubber ball 88 provide anti-loosening function for the lever 85 and the pin 83.
[0027] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, pull the locking pin 32 using the pull ring 34, causing the locking pin 32 to be pulled out of the insertion hole on the outer wall of the large trap 1. At this time, the lock between the small trap 2 and the large trap 1 is released. The operator can rotate the L-shaped frame 31 on the small trap 2 or directly rotate the small trap 2 itself. As the small trap 2 rotates, its through hole misaligns with the through hole on the large trap 1, and the effective mesh size changes accordingly. When the mesh size is observed to meet the current aquatic product specifications for catching, release the pull ring 34. Under the rebound force of the spring 35, the locking pin 32 will automatically spring back and insert into the corresponding new insertion hole on the outer wall of the large trap 1, thereby relocking the small trap 2 and preventing it from rotating on its own. Additionally, if overall adjustment is required... To adjust the length, simply separate the rubber ball 88 from the locking sleeve 82, then release the restriction on the lever 85. The lever 85 then drives the pin 83 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 84 and disengage it from the hole in the locking disc 81. Then, rotate the adjusting sleeve 6, and the adjusting screw 7 will move axially in the adjusting sleeve 6 under the guidance of the square rod 10. After adjusting to the required length, release the lever 85, and the second spring 84 will push the pin 83 back to its original position, allowing it to insert into the corresponding new hole on the locking disc 81. This will re-fix the adjusting sleeve 6 and the hollow cylinder 5 relative to each other.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
