Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oyster farming technology, and in particular to an oyster farming cage. Background Technology

[0002] Oyster farming is an important part of aquaculture. With continuous innovation in oyster farming technology, diversified farming models have been formed. In recent years, shallow sea farming has gradually become the mainstream. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen infrastructure construction and improve the level of science and technology and management, including disease monitoring, prevention and control, drug testing, regulation of microorganisms, and restoration of water quality environment.

[0003] Although existing oyster farming cages have many beneficial effects, they still have the following problems: they are prone to attracting aquatic plants, sea squirts and other debris that affect oyster growth; and removing the oyster skirts requires manual turning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oyster farming cage that addresses the aforementioned problems. The structure of the rotating blade, rotating ring, and rotating seat of this invention enables automatic rotation using seawater impact to remove attached materials and allows for rapid manual rotation to remove the oyster skirt.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: According to one aspect of the present invention, an oyster farming cage is provided, including a turntable, a plurality of insert plates are provided on the left side of the turntable, a plurality of rotating blades are provided on the outer wall of the insert plates, a cage frame is snapped onto the inner wall of the insert plates, a set of rotating seats are sleeved on the outer circumference of the turntable and the left end of the insert plates, a plurality of connecting rods are provided on the outer circumference of the rotating seats, and a fixing post is provided at the end of the connecting rods.

[0006] Preferably, the outer wall of the cage is provided with inserts, which are snapped into the inner wall of the insert plate.

[0007] Preferably, the cage frame is provided on the side wall of the cage frame, and a cage door is provided on the left side of the cage frame.

[0008] Preferably, a hinge is provided between the cage door and the cage frame, a door handle is hinged to the left side of the cage door, and a locking block is provided on the left side of the cage frame.

[0009] Preferably, a rotating ring is provided on the outer circumference of the turntable and the left end of the insert plate, and the turntable and the insert plate are hinged to the rotating seat through the rotating ring.

[0010] Preferably, a handle is provided on the right side of the turntable, and multiple steel balls are provided on the inner wall of the rotating seat.

[0011] Preferably, a sleeve rod is provided on the right side of the turntable, and a telescopic rod is inserted into the inner wall of the sleeve rod. A spring is provided at one end of the telescopic rod, and an insert rod is sleeved at the other end. The insert rod is welded to the right side of the rotating seat.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The entire device can rotate by hinged connection between the rotating ring and the rotating seat. The rotating blade receives the impact of seawater, which drives the insert plate to rotate, so that the device can rotate automatically when submerged in seawater, so that the debris attached to the device and oysters can be removed.

[0013] 2. The oyster's skirt is broken and falls off during the high-speed rotation of the rotating device by the handle. This helps the oyster grow to both sides and avoids using too much nutrition for shell formation, thus making the oyster meat more plump. The rotating device also poundes the very tough cage frame, which can remove the oyster's skirt more evenly. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the utility model, and these aspects can be achieved even without these specific details.

[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides an oyster farming cage with the following technical solution: It includes a turntable 1, with four insert plates 3 welded to the left side of the turntable 1. Multiple rotating blades 4 are welded to the outer wall of the insert plates 3 in a linear fashion at equal intervals. Due to the strong impact force of the waves generated by the tide, when the rotating blades 4 are impacted by the waves, they will start to move in the direction of the waves. The front of the rotating blades 4 is concave and the back is streamlined, so they can rotate continuously in the same direction, thereby driving the insert plates 3 to start rotating. This allows the entire device to rotate even when submerged in seawater, which can continuously remove debris that tries to adhere to the device and the oysters, facilitating better oyster growth. A cage frame 9 is snapped onto the inner wall of the insert plates 3. A set of rotating seats 5 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the turntable 1 and the left end of the insert plates 3. Four connecting rods 6 are welded to the outer circumference of the rotating seats 5. Fixed posts 7 are welded to the ends of the connecting rods 6. The two connecting rods 6 on each side of the rotating seats 5 are welded to the same fixed post 7, thus forming a more stable triangular support structure.

[0017] It is worth noting that, in order for the cage frame 9 to be snapped onto the inner wall of the four insert plates 3, specifically, the outer wall of the cage frame 9 is integrally connected with insert strips 11, which snap onto the inner wall of the insert plates 3. The insert plates 3 have an arc-shaped cross-section and a groove in the center, so that the insert strips 11 can be snapped into the groove. The cage frame 9 is snapped onto the four insert plates 3 by snapping the insert strips 11 onto the insert plates 3. The arc-shaped structure of the insert plates 3 can also fit tightly against the outer circumference of the cage frame, so that the device will not shake during rotation. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​installation of the cage frame 9 can save workers time and effort when installing the device and harvesting oysters.

[0018] Next, in order for the cage rack 9 to be able to hold oysters, specifically, a cage frame 10 is snapped onto the side wall of the cage rack 9, and a cage door 12 is snapped onto the left side of the cage rack 9. The circumference of the cage door 12 is slightly smaller than that of the cage rack 9. The cage frame 10 needs to be made of a material with extremely strong toughness. This is so that the cage frame 10 needs to be tapped during the process of removing the skirts of the oysters, so that the skirts of all the oysters can be removed more evenly. This is because the rapid rotation of the device itself and the collision of the oysters in the cage are not enough to remove the skirts that have begun to harden.

[0019] Meanwhile, in order to fix the cage door 12 to the cage frame 9, a hinge 13 is welded between the cage door 12 and the cage frame 9. A door handle 14 is hinged to the left side of the cage door 12, and a locking block 15 is welded to the left side of the cage frame 9. The door handle 14 consists of a pivot and a round rod. The door handle 14 is hinged to the cage door 12 through the pivot. The top of the locking block 15 has a groove. By rotating the door handle 14, the round rod part of the door handle 14 can be locked into the groove, so that the cage door 12 will not be easily opened when closed. The rotation effect of the hinge 13 can make the cage door 12 rotate around the cage frame 9 to open, so as to make it easier to put in and take out oysters.

[0020] Furthermore, in order for the device to rotate around the rotating seat 5, specifically, a rotating ring 2 is welded to the outer circumference of the turntable 1 and the left end of the insert plate 3. The turntable 1 and the insert plate 3 are hinged to the rotating seat 5 through the rotating ring 2. The rotating ring 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the insert plate 3 so as not to affect the insertion of the insert strip 11 into the insert plate 3. It is worth noting that, in order to make the device rotate more easily, a handle 16 is welded to the right side of the turntable 1, and multiple steel balls 8 are engaged on the inner wall of the rotating seat 5. The device can be rotated manually through the handle 16. The bearing effect formed by the steel balls 8 can reduce the frictional resistance between the rotating ring 2 and the rotating seat 5, thereby allowing the device to rotate faster and making it easier to remove the oyster skirt.

[0021] Finally, to ensure the device can be fixed in place when needed and prevent it from rotating arbitrarily, a sleeve rod 17 is welded to the right side of the turntable 1. A telescopic rod 18 is inserted into the inner wall of the sleeve rod 17. A spring is welded to the top of the telescopic rod 18, and an insert rod 19 is sleeved at the bottom. The insert rod 19 is welded to the right side of the rotating seat 5. The telescopic rod 18 consists of a round rod and a handle. By inserting the round part of the telescopic rod 18 into the insert rod 19, the device is fixed in place and cannot rotate. Due to its elasticity, the spring will continuously push the telescopic rod 18 downward, preventing the telescopic rod 18 from easily disengaging from the insert rod 19. The handle part of the telescopic rod 18 can be engaged with the inner wall of the sleeve rod 17, thus allowing the device to rotate continuously.

[0022] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the breeding cage from detaching from the device, a baffle can be added to the left side of the insert plate 3 to prevent the breeding cage from detaching from the device when the wind and waves are too strong.

[0023] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method. Combination Figures 1-5 The specific usage process of an oyster farming cage according to this embodiment is as follows: 1. When installing the device, it is important to ensure that the grooves in the center of the four inserts 11 and the four inserts 3 on the outer wall of the aquaculture cage are aligned so that the aquaculture cage can be snapped into the center of the device. The installation direction of the device is related to the tide, that is, the rotating blade 4 should face the tide so that the rotating blade 4 can receive more impact force from the waves during high tide to drive the device to rotate in the seawater. 2: When using the device, the fixing stake 7 needs to be fixed first, and then the oyster cage is directly installed in the center of the device. During the process of the oysters feeding, aquatic plants and parasitic aquatic organisms will try to attach to the device and the oysters. If the device is rotating at this time driven by the rotating blade 4, the attachments can be removed very well. 3: When oysters grow to a certain stage, the skirt at the shell opening needs to be removed to prevent the oysters from growing only shells and not meat. Therefore, it is necessary to manually operate the rotating handle 16 to make the device rotate quickly. The oysters in the culture cage will collide with each other and the skirt will fall off. At this time, manual knocking can be used to remove the skirt of all oysters evenly.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
