Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber farming, specifically a hanging cage for sea cucumber farming. Background Technology

[0002] Sea cucumber farming cages are containers used for sea cucumber farming. In the field of sea cucumber farming, when using sea cucumber farming cages, it is necessary to use ropes and fish rafts to pull the cages so that they are placed in seawater for farming. Depending on the farming density and farming requirements, farming cages are often multi-layered and require regular feeding of the sea cucumbers inside the cages. Existing sea cucumber cages require frequent lifting and feeding during the aquaculture process before being put back into the seawater. After long-term use, the cages are prone to deformation and damage. When multiple cages are assembled, they are usually tied together with ropes. If the middle cage is damaged, all the ropes often need to be disassembled for maintenance and replacement. In addition, the traditional connection method can easily lead to excessive gaps between the cage layers, affecting the overall integrity of the cage. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hanging cage for sea cucumber farming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hanging cage for sea cucumber farming, comprising: Several layers of cages are arranged in an overlapping manner, and each layer of cage has a reinforcing ring at both the top and bottom ends, with the reinforcing rings of two adjacent layers of cages in contact with each other. The connection constraint assembly is located on the four sides of two adjacent reinforcing rings. The connection constraint assembly includes four mounting blocks. Two L-shaped inserts are provided on each side of the mounting blocks. The two L-shaped inserts are respectively inserted into the two reinforcing rings. A switching rotating block is provided on one side of each mounting block, and several switching rotating blocks on the same side of the cage are inserted into the lifting rope.

[0005] Preferably, the upper end of the layer cage is provided with a combined groove, and the lower end of the layer cage is provided with a protruding pad. When adjacent layer cages are stacked, the protruding pad of the upper layer cage is inserted into the combined groove of the lower layer cage.

[0006] Preferably, connecting sleeves are provided through all four sides of the reinforcing ring, and the connecting sleeves of the two layer cages are correspondingly provided when the two layer cages are combined and connected.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting block has a T-shaped groove on the side near the layer cage, and one side of the two L-shaped inserts slides into the two sides of the T-shaped groove. The two L-shaped inserts extend out of the mounting block and each side of the opposite side has a connecting block, and the two connecting blocks are respectively inserted into the two connecting sleeves on the same side of the two adjacent layer cages.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting block has a support plate at its center on the side away from the layer cage. The switching block is rotatably mounted on the support plate.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] Please see the appendix Figure 1-6 This application provides the following technical solutions.

[0016] A hanging cage for sea cucumber farming includes several layers of cages 1, which are stacked vertically. Each layer of cage 1 has reinforcing rings 4 at both ends, and the reinforcing rings 4 of two adjacent layers of cage 1 are in contact. The upper end of each layer of cage 1 has a combined groove 2, and the lower end of each layer of cage 1 has a protruding pad 3. When adjacent layers of cage 1 are stacked, the protruding pad 3 of the upper layer of cage 1 is inserted into the combined groove 2 of the lower layer of cage 1. In use, the layers of cage 1 are stacked vertically. The structure of the reinforcing rings 4 can enhance the overall strength of the layers of cage 1. The form of the protruding pad 3 being inserted into the combined groove 2 can achieve misalignment and slippage limitation after the two layers of cage 1 are combined, thereby improving the connection strength after combination. A separate reinforcing ring 4 with a protruding pad 3 can be set at the upper end of the uppermost layer of cage 1 to seal the layer of cage 1, thus realizing the overall hanging cage composed of several layers of cage 1.

[0017] A connection constraint assembly is set up to stabilize the combined state of the two layer cages 1. The connection constraint assembly is located on the four sides of the two adjacent reinforcing rings 4. The connection constraint assembly includes four mounting blocks 6. Two L-shaped inserts 8 are provided on each side of the mounting block 6. The two L-shaped inserts 8 are respectively inserted into the two reinforcing rings 4. A switching block 11 is provided on one side of each mounting block 6, and several switching blocks 11 on the same side of the cage are connected to lifting ropes 17. Connecting sleeves 5 are provided through all four sides of the reinforcing rings 4. When the two layer cages 1 are combined and connected, the connecting sleeves 5 of the layer cages 1 are set accordingly. A T-shaped groove 7 is opened on the side of the mounting block 6 near the layer cage 1, and the two L-shaped inserts 8 slide on one side. The two L-shaped inserts 8 extend out of the mounting block 6 and are connected to each other on opposite sides of the T-shaped groove 7. The two connecting blocks 9 are respectively inserted into the two connecting sleeves 5 on the same side of the two adjacent layer cages 1. When the layer cage 1 is in a vertical position, the two L-shaped inserts 8 can move up and down along the T-shaped groove 7 of the mounting block 6. The connecting sleeves 5 of the two adjacent reinforcing rings 4 are located on the upper and lower sides of the two reinforcing rings 4 respectively. At this time, the connecting blocks 9 of the two L-shaped inserts 8 can be inserted into the connecting blocks 9 of the two reinforcing rings 4 respectively. Then, since the mounting block 6 is an integral structure, when the two L-shaped inserts 8 cannot slide along the mounting block 6, the two reinforcing rings 4 can be stably fitted together.

[0018] A support plate 10 is located at the center of the side of the mounting block 6 away from the layer cage 1. The switching block 11 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 10. A receiving hole 14 is provided on both sides of the strip groove 12 near the L-shaped insert 8. The mounting block 6 has a strip groove 12 on both sides connecting the receiving hole 14 and the T-shaped groove 7. The L-shaped insert 8 is inserted into the T-shaped groove 7 and a limiting block 13 is provided on one side of the strip groove 12. The limiting block 13 slides through the strip groove 12. When the L-shaped insert 8... When the connecting block 9 of the insert block 8 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 5 of the layer cage 1, the limiting block 13 of the L-shaped insert block 8 is inserted into the receiving hole 14 of the support plate 10. The movement limit of the two L-shaped insert blocks 8 is achieved by inserting the two limiting blocks 13 into the receiving hole 14. When the L-shaped insert block 8 moves up and down along the T-shaped slide groove 7, the limiting block 13 moves up and down synchronously in the strip slide groove 12. After the limiting block 13 is inserted into the receiving hole 14, the connecting block 9 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 5.

[0019] The switching block 11 is fitted with interface 15 on both sides of the support plate 10. A rope hole 16 is horizontally opened on the side of the switching block 11 away from the mounting block 6. The virtual connection line between the two interface 15s and the rope hole 16 is arranged in a cross shape. When the rope hole 16 and the strip groove 12 are both vertical, the two interface 15s are offset from the storage hole 14. Conversely, the storage hole 14 corresponds to the interface 15, and the opening size of the interface 15 is equal to that of the storage hole 14. Since the switching block 11 is fitted onto the support plate 10, the limiting block 13 cannot break through the switching block. When the rotating block 11 is inserted into the receiving hole 14, it needs to pass through the interface 15. Similarly, when the limiting block 13 is in the receiving hole 14, if the limiting block 13 cannot pass through the interface 15, the L-shaped insert 8 is constrained by the limiting block 13. As a result, the L-shaped insert 8 and the connecting block 9 cannot move, thus achieving a stable fit between the two reinforcing rings 4. The process is as follows: first, the interface 15 is aligned with the receiving hole 14. After the limiting block 13 passes through the interface 15 and enters the receiving hole 14, the rotating block 11 is switched to rotate so that the interface 15 and the receiving hole 14 are misaligned, thus achieving the constraint of the movement of the limiting block 13 and the L-shaped insert 8.

[0020] The suspension rope 17 passes through the rope holes 16 of several switching blocks 11 on the same side of the cage. After passing through all the rope holes 16, the two ends of the suspension rope 17 pass through the connecting sleeves 5 of the upper and lower cages 1 respectively. Metal constraint blocks 18 are provided at both ends of the suspension rope 17 passing through the connecting sleeves 5. When the interface 15 and the storage hole 14 are cross-shaped, the rope holes 16 and the cage are in the same direction. At this time, the suspension rope 17 can pass through the rope holes 16, completing the suspension rope connection. Simultaneously, the natural tension of the cage prevents the switching blocks 11 from flipping, ensuring that the interface 15 cannot be misaligned with the storage hole 14, thus improving the stability of the cage 1 assembly. Metal constraint... The clamping block 18 is used to constrain the two ends of the hanging rope 17 to the assembled cage, and is also used for subsequent suspending and raising. The metal constraint clamping block 18 can be used to tie the hanging rope 17. It is only necessary to ensure that the top and bottom layer cages 1 do not detach from the main body of the cage. When it is necessary to replace a single layer cage 1, multiple hanging ropes 17 can be moved from above or below the cage. It is not necessary to pull out all the hanging ropes 17. Rotate the switching block 11 to align the interface 15 with the storage hole 14. The connecting block 9 of the L-shaped insert block 8 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 5. Then, taking advantage of the gap between the layers of the loosened hanging ropes 17, the damaged layer cage 1 can be pulled out and replaced with a new one.

[0021] 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.
