DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described herein below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The described embodiments are merely part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. On the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a controllable semi-open mariculture cabin system to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, which can effectively reduce the high energy consumption required by the operation of a closed circulating mariculture system, and effectively reduce the damage to the marine environment caused by pollutants produced by open mariculture.

[0024] In order to make the abovementioned objective, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and more comprehensible, the present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners. Reference signs in the drawings include: 1 high-pressure water inlet pipe, 2 jet pipe, 3 frustoconical fine filter screen, 4 annular sewage sump, 5 sewage pipeline, 6 overflow pipe, 7 conveying pump, 8 solid-liquid separator, 9 solid outlet, 10 liquid outlet, 11 mariculture cabin, 12 gate valve, 13 fish outlet, and 14 water inlet pipe.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the present embodiment provides a controllable semi-open mariculture cabin system, including a mariculture cabin 11, a water inlet mechanism, a filtering mechanism, and a fish outlet pipe 13. The water inlet mechanism includes a water inlet pipe 14 and a plurality of high-pressure water inlet pipes 1. The water inlet pipe 14 is located on one side of the upper part of the mariculture cabin 11. The plurality of high-pressure water inlet pipes 1 are distributed in the circumferential direction of the top of the mariculture cabin 11. The tail ends of the high-pressure water inlet pipe 1 are connected to jet pipes 2 extending into the mariculture cabin 11. The filtering mechanism is provided at the bottom of the mariculture cabin 11. An outlet end of the filtering mechanism is located in sea water outside. The fish outlet pipe 13 is provided on the cabin wall of the mariculture cabin 11. A gate valve 12 capable of opening and closing is mounted on the fish outlet pipe 13.

[0026] The water inlet pipe 14 provides a water source matrix for the mariculture cabin 11. The high-pressure water inlet pipes 1 provide pressurized water for the jet pipes 2. The jet pipes 2 provide energy for establishing a flow field inside the mariculture cabin 11 and control the flow rate, which is suitable for fish growth. With the filtering mechanism arranged at the bottom of the mariculture cabin 11, the wastes in the mariculture cabin 11 are filtered and discharged, and then flows into the sea water. When the gate valve 12 on the fish outlet pipe 13 is open, adult fish enters the fish outlet pipe 13 along with a water flow, the fish outlet pipe 13 is a fishing channel, and the gate valve 12 controls the fish outlet pipe 13 to open and close.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the water inlet pipe 14 and the jet pipes 2 are mounted around the wall surface of the mariculture cabin 11. A water pump is provided on the water inlet pipe 14, and is used for pumping a water source. Water pumps are also mounted on the high-pressure water inlet pipes 1. The jet pipes 2 are arranged downward vertically along the inner wall of the mariculture cabin 11. Jet holes are uniformly distributed in the jet pipes 2. The water inlet pipe 14 provides water for the mariculture cabin 11, and the jet pipes 2 control a flow direction, which is suitable for fish growth. The jet pipes 2 provide energy for the flow field inside the mariculture cabin 11. An angle of orifice of each jet pipe 2 controls a direction of water flow.

[0028] In the present embodiment, an inverted frustoconical fine filter screen 3 is mounted at the bottom of the mariculture cabin 11. An annular sewage sump 4 is formed in the edge of the lower part of the filter screen. A coarse filter screen is mounted at the upper part of the annular sewage sump 4 (for preventing fish from entering a sewage system). The water flowing in the cabin performs water exchange with an ocean through fine meshes of the filter mesh. When wastes with inconsistent particle diameters is generated inside the mariculture cabin 11, small-particle wastes are discharged into the sea water through the meshes of the fine filter screen under the action of gravity, and large-particle wastes settle to the annular sewage sump 4 at the bottom through the coarse screen.

[0029] In the present embodiment, the bottom inclination of the mariculture cabin 11 is 3° to 7°. The annular sewage sump 4 is communicated with a sewage pipeline 5. The sewage pipeline 5 is connected in series with a conveying pump 7. The tail end of the sewage pipeline 5 is connected to a solid-liquid separator 8. The solid-liquid separator 8 is provided with a solid outlet 9 and a liquid outlet 10. When the conveying pump 7 works, the large-particle wastes enter the solid-liquid separator 8 through the sewage pipeline 5, solid waste in liquid settles, and thus solid-liquid separation occurs under the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of a rotary drum. The separated solid waste is discharged from the solid outlet 9, and water is discharged from the liquid outlet 10.

[0030] In order to prevent the rise in pressure of the sewage system caused by untimely solid-liquid separation, an overflow pipe 6 is provided at an inlet of the solid-liquid separator 8, and the overflow pipe 6 is communicated with the annular sewage sump 4, so as to ensure the safety of the system.

[0031] According to the controllable semi-open mariculture cabin system in the present disclosure, the gate valve 12 is controlled electrically or manually, the conveying pump 7 is driven by a motor, and the solid-liquid separator 8 is driven by a motor.

[0032] According to the controllable semi-open mariculture cabin system in the present disclosure, the flow field inside the mariculture cabin 11 is controllable, and there is no need for a water circulating and water treatment system. The mariculture cabin 11 is of a semi-open structure, with the bottom communicated with sea water, and has the following advantages that discharge of the waste is controllable, the environmental pollution is reduced, and the separated solid waste can be used to produce an organic manure. The mariculture cabin system 11 can improve the mariculture level, expand the utilization rate of deep sea mariculture space, and play an exemplary role in developing a deep sea mariculture mode.
