Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bait feeding and packaging machine, in particular to a breeding bait feeding and packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] As a material storage and packaging device, the aquaculture feeding and packaging machine can weigh and package the bait according to the feeding amount set by the breeding personnel, thereby achieving the purpose of quantitative feeding in aquaculture, and has been widely used in the aquaculture industry.

[0003] Existing aquaculture feeding and packaging machines mainly include a controller, a feeding box, a feeding device, and a weighing module. The feeding box is used to store bait, and the controller is pre-set with a single feeding amount. When the bait is being packaged, the controller controls the feeding device to output the bait in the feeding box to the weighing module. The weighing module weighs the bait in real time and feeds the real-time weighed weight back to the controller. When the real-time weighing weight reaches the set single feeding amount, the controller controls the feeding device to stop working, and the bait in the feeding box is no longer output. At this time, the bait at the weighing module is placed into the packaging bag, thereby achieving the set single feeding amount of the bait.

[0004] However, the existing aquaculture feeding and packaging machine can only achieve one feeding and packaging in one feeding and weighing process, and the feeding and packaging efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Each funnel shell has a feed port and a discharge port, and each of the spiral feeding mechanisms includes a feeding pipe, a feeding drive motor and a conveying screw. The conveying screw is installed inside the feeding pipe, and the feeding drive motor is installed at one end of the feeding pipe. One end of the conveying screw is connected to the motor shaft of the feeding drive motor, and the feeding drive motor is connected to the controller. The feeding drive motor is used to drive the conveying screw to rotate or not under the control of the controller. The feeding pipe is provided with a feed port connected to its interior, and the feed port of the feeding pipe is used to connect and pass through the discharge port of the funnel shell. The other end of the feeding pipe is provided with a discharge port for outputting the bait downward, and the discharge port of the feeding pipe is used to output the bait. This structure achieves continuous and uniform bait delivery. When bait is added to the hopper housing, it enters the feed tube through the feed inlet. The feed drive motor, activated under the control of a controller, drives the feed screw. As the screw rotates, the bait is propelled forward along the feed tube by the spiral grooves formed on its surface, ultimately reaching the discharge port and being discharged downward through it. This structure offers the following advantages: 1. Continuity: The screw feed mechanism ensures continuous bait delivery, improving production efficiency. 2. Uniformity: The screw feed mechanism ensures uniform bait delivery, preventing bait accumulation and dispersion. 3. Controllability: The controller allows for convenient control of the feed drive motor's start, stop, and speed, enabling precise control of the bait delivery process. Controller parameters can be adjusted to adjust the delivery speed and volume based on the bait's characteristics and delivery requirements. 4.

[0008] Each of the weighing modules includes a storage chamber for storing bait, a discharge baffle, a baffle driving motor and a weighing sensor. The baffle driving motor and the weighing sensor are respectively connected to the controller.

The storage chamber has a receiving port and a discharge port. The receiving port of the storage chamber is used to receive the bait output by the spiral feeding mechanism. The discharge baffle is installed on the motor shaft of the baffle driving motor. The discharge baffle is located below the discharge port of the storage chamber.

In this structure, the stepper motor drives the rotating disc to rotate, so that the bait guide tubes can rotate with the rotating disc to correspond to the n feed holes in any group of feed holes and dock up and down. Each bait guide tube can output the bait in it one by one through a feed hole docked with it to the sub-packaging bag for sub-packaging.

[0025] The working principle of the aquaculture feeding and packaging machine of this embodiment is as follows: in the initial state, the discharge baffle 72 of each weighing module 7 closes the discharge port of its storage chamber 71, and the n bait guide pipes 10 correspond to the n feeding holes in a group of feeding holes in a one-to-one manner and docked up and down; when the bait needs to be packaged, the user first sets the single feeding amount in the controller 1 according to the packaging requirements, and puts the bait into the n funnel shells 5, and then turns on the controller 1, the controller 1 enters the packaging working state, and the controller 1 first controls the feeding drive motors 42 of the n spiral feeding mechanisms 4 to start, at this time In each spiral feeding mechanism 4, the feeding drive motor 42 rotates, driving the conveying screw 43 connected thereto to rotate, and the conveying screw 43 outputs the bait that falls from the corresponding funnel shell 5 into the feeding tube 41 to the discharge port of the feeding tube 41, and outputs it to the storage chamber 71 of the corresponding weighing module 7 through the discharge port of the feeding tube 41. The weighing sensor 74 of each weighing module 7 measures the weight of the bait in its storage chamber 71 in real time, obtains the real-time weighing weight and feeds it back to the controller 1. When the real-time weighing weight fed back by the weighing sensor 74 of a certain weighing module 7 is equal to the single When feeding the bait, the controller 1 first controls the feeding drive motor 42 of the spiral feeding mechanism 4 corresponding to the weighing module 7 to turn off and stop working. At this time, the spiral feeding mechanism 4 corresponding to the weighing module 7 no longer outputs the bait, and then controls the baffle driving motor 73 of the weighing module 7 to work, driving the unloading baffle 72 connected thereto to rotate, so that the discharge port of the storage chamber 71 of the weighing module 7 is opened. At this time, the bait in the storage chamber 71 of the weighing module 7 is output to the sub-packaging bag through the corresponding bait guide pipe 10, and then the controller 1 controls the weighing module 7 again. The baffle drive motor 73 works, driving the feeding baffle 72 connected to it to rotate, so that the discharge port of the storage chamber 71 of the weighing module 7 is closed again, completing one packaging. After the bait in the storage chamber 71 of the n weighing modules 7 is packaged, the controller 1 controls the stepper motor 8 to work, and the stepper motor 8 drives the rotating disc 9 to rotate until the n bait guide tubes 10 correspond to the n feeding holes in the next group of feeding holes and dock up and down; then, the controller 1 enters the packaging working state again and starts the next feeding of bait, repeating the process until all packaging work is completed.
