Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture cage technology, and in particular to a deep-sea unmanned aquaculture cage with its own surge energy power supply. Background Technology

[0002] Deep-sea aquaculture technology has matured significantly, and its future development trend inevitably leans towards automation and intelligence, aiming for unattended, intelligent aquaculture. However, a persistent problem plaguing the industry is power supply. Existing deep-sea aquaculture cages primarily rely on traditional diesel generators for power, requiring regular refueling and dedicated personnel for monitoring. Marine energy sources, including wind, wave, and solar power, experience substantial energy loss during transmission back to land via submarine cables after conversion into electricity. The best solution would be on-site utilization, but current technologies combining marine energy utilization with deep-sea aquaculture are scarce, particularly lacking the application of wave energy to achieve self-sufficient, unattended aquaculture.

[0003] Therefore, how to create a new type of deep-sea unmanned aquaculture cage that is powered by its own surge energy is one of the important research and development topics at present. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a deep-sea unmanned aquaculture cage with its own surge power supply, which can power the aquaculture cage through the surge power generation system, automatically feed, and remotely monitor, thereby realizing unattended intelligent aquaculture and overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a deep-sea unmanned aquaculture cage with its own surge energy power supply, including an aquaculture cage, a truss, a float and a surge power generation system; A truss is built around the outer perimeter of the aquaculture cage, and a float is fixedly connected to the bottom of the truss. The outer perimeter and the interior of the truss are used to set up a surge power generation system. The surge power generation system includes a float, a pendulum, a drive shaft, and a generator. The float is hollow inside, and its top is hinged to the overhanging end of the pendulum. The root of the pendulum is connected to the drive shaft via a gearbox, and the drive shaft is coaxially connected to the generator. The float floats on the water surface and moves with the waves, causing the pendulum to swing up and down, converting the surging energy into mechanical energy. The pendulum transmits power to the drive shaft through the gearbox, and drives the generator to generate electricity, converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The surge power generation system is used to supply power to aquaculture cages.

[0006] As an improvement of this utility model, the aquaculture cage, truss and float are all in the form of a regular hexagon.

[0007] Furthermore, the aquaculture cage is equipped with partitions that are evenly distributed around its circumference, dividing the internal space of the aquaculture cage into equal volumes.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the truss is covered with a deck, and a platform is built at the center of the aquaculture cage. The height of the platform is higher than the buoy and lower than the deck, and a passage is built between the deck and the platform.

[0009] Furthermore, an equipment room is built on the platform, with water pumps and hoppers installed inside, and material conveying pipes installed outside the equipment room; The water pump inlet pipe extends below the water surface, and the water pump outlet and hopper outlet are both connected to the feed conveying pipe, which leads to the aquaculture cage. The water pumps and hoppers are powered by a surge power generation system and controlled by a control center on land.

[0010] Furthermore, the aquaculture cage is equipped with multiple cameras inside, which are used to transmit video footage to the control center on land.

[0011] With this design, the present invention has at least the following advantages.

[0012] 1. This utility model combines a surge power generation system with an aquaculture cage, realizing the on-site utilization of surge energy and self-sufficient unmanned aquaculture.

[0013] 2. The aquaculture cages are equipped with an automatic feeding system and a remote monitoring system. The automatic feeding system enables timed and quantitative feeding, while the remote monitoring system allows staff to observe the growth of the fish and adjust the amount of feed.

[0014] 3. It has a reasonable structure, is easy to use, and is suitable for widespread application. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The above is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0017] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached diagram: 1. Aquaculture cage; 2. Truss; 3. Float; 4. Deck; 5. Swing rod; 6. Float; 7. Equipment room; 8. Feed pipe. Detailed Implementation

[0018] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a deep-sea unmanned aquaculture cage with its own surge power supply, including an aquaculture cage 1, a truss 2, a float 3, a surge power generation system, an automatic feeding system, and a remote monitoring system.

[0019] The top of the aquaculture cage 1 is open, the outer perimeter of the side walls and bottom is a metal frame, and the inside is a mesh-like openwork net.

[0020] In this embodiment, the overall shape of the aquaculture cage 1 is a regular hexagon, and the interior is provided with partitions that are evenly distributed around the circumference, dividing the internal space of the aquaculture cage 1 into six equal parts, which can be used to raise different fish or shellfish.

[0021] The aquaculture cage is surrounded by a double-layered hexagonal truss 2, with a deck 4 on top of the truss 2 and a buoy 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the truss 2.

[0022] The float 3 is also hexagonal in shape and hollow inside, used to provide buoyancy for the aquaculture cage 1 and the truss 2.

[0023] The inner and outer periphery of the middle layer of the truss 2 are used to house the surge power generation system.

[0024] The surge power generation system includes a float 6, a pendulum 7, a drive shaft (not shown in the figure), and a generator (not shown in the figure).

[0025] The float 6 is pear-shaped, hollow inside, floats on the water surface and moves with the waves.

[0026] The top of the float 6 is hinged to the overhanging end of the pendulum 7. The pendulum 7 extends outward at an angle from the truss 2, and its root is connected to the drive shaft via a gearbox. The float 6 moves up and down with the waves, causing the pendulum 7 to swing, and transmits the energy to the drive shaft through the gearbox, converting the surging wave energy into mechanical energy. The gearbox converts the reciprocating swing of the pendulum 7 into continuous rotation of the drive shaft.

[0027] The drive shaft is coaxially connected to the generator, driving the generator to generate electricity, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator's power is used to supply power to the automatic feeding system and remote monitoring system of the aquaculture cage 1.

[0028] A platform is built at the center of the aquaculture cage 1. The platform is higher than the buoy 3 but lower than the deck 4. A passage is built between the deck and the platform, and guardrails are installed on both sides of the passage and around the platform. Under normal use, the water surface is located in the middle of the buoy 3, that is, the buoy 3 is in a semi-submerged state. The platform needs to be higher than the water surface, but not too high, to facilitate feeding.

[0029] The platform has an equipment room 7, which is used to set up an automatic feeding system.

[0030] The automatic feeding system includes a water pump, a hopper, and a conveying pipe. The water pump and the hopper are installed in the equipment room, while the conveying pipe is located on the platform.

[0031] The inlet pipe of the water pump extends below the water surface inside the aquaculture cage 1. The outlet of the water pump and the outlet of the feed hopper are both connected to the feed conveying pipe 8. The feed conveying pipe 8 is equipped with 6 outlet pipes, which lead to the 6 sub-cages of the aquaculture cage 1 respectively.

[0032] During operation, the automatic feeding system uses a water pump to draw seawater from inside the aquaculture cage 1 and hydraulically transports feed into the cage. Both the water pump and the feed hopper are equipped with controllers, which contain communication modules for remote signal transmission to a control center on land. Another function of the controllers is to set timed or quantitative start-ups for the water pumps and feed hoppers.

[0033] The aquaculture cages are also equipped with multiple cameras, which can transmit video footage to a control center on land, allowing operators to observe the growth of the fish and remotely control the amount of feed.

[0034] This invention combines a surge power generation system with aquaculture cages, which not only realizes the rational utilization of surge energy in a clean and environmentally friendly manner, but also solves the power supply problem of deep-sea aquaculture cages, achieving self-sufficiency, automatic feeding, and remote monitoring, thus improving the automation and intelligence of deep-sea aquaculture cages and making it suitable for widespread application.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes or alterations made by those skilled in the art using the above-disclosed technical content shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
