Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine aquaculture technology, specifically to an integrated device for pond turning and feeding suitable for use in factory farming workshops for sea cucumbers and other aquaculture species. Background Technology

[0002] In the factory-scale breeding and cultivation of sea cucumbers, pond transfer and feeding are two crucial management steps. Pond transfer involves moving the juvenile sea cucumbers to a new, adjacent pond when feces and debris accumulate at the bottom and water quality deteriorates, followed by cleaning the original pond. During this process, it's essential to minimize mechanical damage to the young sea cucumbers. Feeding, as the name suggests, involves providing food. In the early stages of sea cucumber farming, pond transfer and feeding in factory-scale workshops were entirely manual, resulting in high labor intensity, low efficiency, and significant risks.

[0003] With the development of the aquaculture industry, some simplified mechanical equipment has gradually emerged. Examples include a sea cucumber pond-turning device disclosed in Chinese invention patent CN102283157A, a spiny sea cucumber seedling pond-turning device disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN207707073U, a feeding and medication vehicle for indoor factory-style sea cucumber seedling cultivation disclosed in Chinese invention patent CN102365927A, and an automatic feeding device for sea cucumber seedling ponds disclosed in Chinese invention patent CN113207782A. However, these devices are either simple and bulky, occupying a large space, and can only turn the sea cucumbers between ponds in the same row, not between adjacent rows. They are also unsuitable for feeding sea cucumbers with water-based slurry feed. They generally suffer from high labor intensity, high manpower requirements, high operating costs, and susceptibility to corrosion. Most importantly, their functions are limited; turning the sea cucumbers and feeding them cannot be combined, which, combined with limited workshop space, hinders production and management convenience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems or one of the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention provides an integrated machine for pond emptying and feeding, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0005] A pond-pouring and feeding integrated machine includes a chassis vehicle that can travel back and forth in the passageway between two adjacent rows of seedling ponds. All seedling ponds are of the same size, and some or all of the seedling ponds contain pond baskets containing seedling attachment substrate. Unlike existing technologies, the chassis vehicle is equipped with a pond-pouring and feeding integrated machine. This integrated machine can not only evenly distribute slurry-like feed to all seedling ponds, but also transfer any pond basket from its current seedling pond to any other seedling pond in the same or adjacent rows.

[0006] Furthermore, the four corners of the upper end of the basket in the pool extend inward to form triangular plates, with vertical lifting holes on the triangular plates; the integrated pool emptying and feeding machine includes a fixed base plate and a lifting top plate, with a scissor lift installed on the fixed base plate and the lifting top plate, the scissor lift being driven by a first motor; a slurry feed storage tank is fixed on the fixed base plate, and a diaphragm pump and an axially vertical bearing seat are fixed on the lifting top plate, with an axially horizontal worm gear rotating on it, the worm gear being driven by a second motor; a half-shaft is rotated on the bearing seat, and a worm wheel is fixed on the half-shaft above the bearing seat, the worm wheel meshing with the worm gear; the upper end of the half-shaft is fixed to the middle of the horizontal tube, and the middle of the horizontal tube is also fixed to the feed inlet. The outlet of the diaphragm pump is connected to the inlet via a hose, and the inlet of the diaphragm pump is connected to the outlet of the slurry feed storage tank via a hose. Both ends of the horizontal pipe are sealed, and multiple feed nozzles are evenly arranged below the horizontal pipe, corresponding to the positions of the two rows of seedling ponds. Above the horizontal pipe, four longitudinal rods are fixed at the left and right ends of the pond baskets when they are placed in the two rows of seedling ponds. The middle of the longitudinal rods is fixed to the horizontal pipe via pipe clamps, and steel wire ropes are fixed to the front and rear ends near the longitudinal rods respectively. The lower end of the steel wire rope is fixed to the middle of the stop bar. When the stop bar is parallel to the steel wire rope, it can pass through the vertical hoisting hole. When the stop bar is perpendicular to the steel wire rope, it can prevent the steel wire rope from separating from the triangular plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the feature is that a control panel is fixedly installed near the rear end of the fixed base plate, and control buttons for controlling the steering and turning angle of the chassis drive motor, the first motor, the diaphragm pump and the second motor are installed on the control panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the feature is that the two ends of the horizontal tube are close to the outer surfaces of two adjacent rows of seedling pools.

[0009] Furthermore, the feature is that the lowest position of the lifting top plate is higher than the height of the seedling pool, and the height difference between the highest and lowest positions of the lifting top plate is greater than or equal to the depth of the seedling pool.

[0010] Furthermore, the feature is that flared openings are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the vertical hoisting hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the feature is that a vertical shaft is fixedly connected to the middle of the front axle of the chassis vehicle, the vertical shaft is interchanged with the chassis vehicle frame, a longitudinal swing arm is fixedly connected to the vertical shaft, the free end of the longitudinal swing arm is fixedly connected to the middle of the transverse swing arm, and the two ends of the transverse swing arm are respectively provided with axially vertical guide wheels, which can contact or separate from the inner side of the two adjacent rows of seedling ponds.

[0012] Furthermore, the characteristic is that the chassis vehicle has four-wheel independent drive, or front two-wheel drive, or rear two-wheel drive.

[0013] Furthermore, the characteristic is that the length and width of the basket inside the pool are equal to or slightly smaller than the internal length and width of the seedling pool.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention can not only realize pond transfer and feeding simultaneously with one machine, saving space, but also realize pond transfer between different rows of seedling ponds, which is a major breakthrough in existing technologies. Pond transfer can be realized at will between two rows of seedling ponds, greatly improving the convenience of the seedling process. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] A pond-pouring and feeding integrated machine includes a chassis 300 that can travel back and forth in the passageway 200 between two adjacent rows of seedling ponds 100. All seedling ponds 100 are of the same size, and some or all of the seedling ponds 100 contain pond baskets 400. The length and width of the pond baskets 400 are equal to or slightly smaller than the internal length and width of the seedling ponds 100. Seedling attachment substrate is placed in the pond baskets 400. The pond-pouring and feeding integrated machine 500 is installed on the chassis 300. This pond-pouring and feeding integrated machine 500 can not only evenly distribute slurry-like feed to all seedling ponds 100, but also transfer any pond basket 400 from its current seedling pond 100 to any other seedling pond 100 in the same or adjacent rows.

[0028] Specifically, the four corners of the upper end of the pool basket 400 extend inward to form triangular plates 401. The triangular plates 401 not only enhance the strength of the corners of the pool basket 400 but also provide a base for hoisting. Hoisting at the four corners ensures a smooth lifting and lowering process for the entire pool basket, preventing the sea cucumber seedling attachment base inside the pool basket 400 from shaking or tipping over, thus avoiding stress-induced drop of the sea cucumber seedlings attached to the attachment base. Vertical hoisting holes 402 are provided on the triangular plates 401. The integrated pool-turning and feeding machine 500 includes a fixed... A base plate 501 and a lifting top plate 502 are fixed together. A scissor lift is installed on the fixed base plate 501 and the lifting top plate 502. The scissor lift is driven by a first motor 504. A slurry feed storage tank 503 is fixed on the fixed base plate 501. A diaphragm pump 505 and an axially vertical bearing seat 506 are fixed on the lifting top plate 502. An axially horizontal worm gear 511 is mounted on the lifting top plate 502. The worm gear 511 is driven by a second motor 512. A half-shaft 507 is mounted on the bearing seat 506. A scissor lift is fixed on the half-shaft 507 above the bearing seat 506. A worm gear 508 is connected, and the worm gear 508 meshes with the worm 511; the upper end of the half-shaft 507 is fixed to the middle of the horizontal tube 509, and the middle of the horizontal tube 509 is also fixed to the inlet 510; the outlet of the diaphragm pump 505 is connected to the inlet 510 through a hose, and the inlet of the diaphragm pump 505 is connected to the outlet of the slurry feed storage tank 503 through a hose; both ends of the horizontal tube 509 are sealed, and nine feed nozzles 513 are evenly arranged below the horizontal tube 509, corresponding to the positions of the two rows of seedling ponds 100; the horizontal tube 509 Above the two rows of seedling trays 100, four vertical rods 514 are fixed at the left and right ends of the trays when placing the tray baskets 400. The middle of the vertical rods 514 is fixed to the horizontal tubes 509 through pipe clamps 516. Steel wire ropes 515 are fixed to the front and rear ends near the vertical rods 514 respectively. The lower end of the steel wire ropes 515 is fixed to the middle of the stop bar 517. When the stop bar is parallel to the steel wire rope 515, it can pass through the vertical lifting hole 402. When the stop bar is orthogonal to the steel wire rope 515, it can prevent the steel wire rope 515 from separating from the triangular plate 401. A control panel 600 is fixed near the rear end of the fixed base plate 501. The control panel 600 is equipped with control buttons for controlling the direction and rotation angle of the chassis drive motor, the first motor 504, the diaphragm pump 505, and the second motor 512. The two ends of the horizontal tubes 509 are close to the outer sides of the two adjacent rows of seedling trays 100. The lowest position of the lifting top plate 502 is higher than the height of the seedling pool 100, and the height difference between the highest and lowest positions of the lifting top plate 502 is greater than or equal to the depth of the seedling pool 100. Trumpet-shaped openings 403 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the vertical hoisting hole 402.

[0029] A vertical shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front axle 301 of the chassis 300. The vertical shaft 302 is interchangeable with the frame of the chassis 300. A longitudinal swing arm 303 is fixedly connected to the vertical shaft 302. The free end of the longitudinal swing arm 303 is fixedly connected to the middle of a transverse swing arm 304. Vertically axial guide wheels 305 are respectively mounted at both ends of the transverse swing arm 304. The guide wheels 305 can contact or separate from the inner surfaces of two adjacent rows of seedling beds 100. The chassis 300 is a four-wheel independent drive vehicle. In another preferred embodiment, the chassis 300 adopts either front two-wheel drive or rear two-wheel drive.

[0030] In this embodiment, the power supply for all motors is connected to the AC power socket in the seedling workshop via cables. This is a conventional technical method in the field and will not be described in detail.

[0031] In other preferred embodiments, the present invention may be equipped with an automatic control module, such as a PLC, limit switch, photoelectric switch, solenoid valve, time relay, magnetic suction hanger, etc., to realize timed automatic feeding of feed and automatic pond turning after inputting the location parameters of the nursery pond.

[0032] All the parts that may come into contact with water are made of plastic, stainless steel or aluminum alloy to prevent rust.

[0033] When feeding, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first motor is controlled to rotate forward and backward to raise the top plate 502 to a height above the seedling pond 100. Then, the chassis vehicle 300 is controlled to slowly move forward. When it reaches the first row of seedling ponds, the diaphragm pump 505 is activated. The slurry feed in the slurry feed storage tank 503 is drawn out by the diaphragm pump 505 and pressurized into the horizontal pipe 509. Finally, it is sprayed out from 18 feed nozzles 513, evenly spraying the feed into the two rows of seedling ponds. Because high-pressure spraying is used, the feed sprayed from the feed nozzles 513 is in a mist form, resulting in more even feeding. The vehicle slowly moves forward in this manner until it reaches the last row of seedling ponds, completing the first feeding. It can be reversed as needed for a second feeding, or it can move forward again for a third feeding…

[0034] During the forward or reverse movement of the chassis vehicle, due to factors such as uneven ground and unbalanced driving forces of each wheel, the chassis vehicle may veer to one side of the passageway 200, causing the guide wheel 305 on that side to contact the inner side of the seedling pool 100 on that side. The guide wheel 305 exerts a thrust on the lateral swing arm 304 to the other side, which in turn drives the longitudinal swing arm 303, which in turn drives the vertical shaft 302 to rotate, causing the two front wheels to turn to the other side, thus causing the chassis vehicle to veer to the other side. When the guide wheel 305 on the other side contacts the inner side of the seedling pool 100 on the other side, the two front wheels turn to the opposite side. This cycle repeats, ensuring that the chassis vehicle always moves forward or backward in the middle of the passageway 200, avoiding collisions with the seedling pool.

[0035] Suppose we want to transfer the contents of basket 400 in the sixth seedling bed (100 from the back) in the left column to the sixth seedling bed (100 from the back) in the right column, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the chassis vehicle first travels to the location, and controls the first motor to rotate, causing the lifting top plate 502 to descend until the stop bar 517 is below the triangular plate 401. Then, the four stop bars 517 are manually passed through the four vertical lifting holes 402 from top to bottom, and then the stop bars are aligned orthogonally with the wire rope 515 to prevent the wire rope 515 from separating from the triangular plate 401. Next, the first motor is controlled to rotate, causing the lifting top plate 502 to rise until all the baskets 400 in the pond are above the seedling pond 100. Figure 12 As shown.

[0036] At this time, the second motor 512 is started, causing the horizontal tube 509 to slowly rotate around the center of the half-axis 507, as follows. Figure 13-14 As shown, the process stops when it reaches 180 degrees. At this point, basket 400 in the pool is positioned above the sixth seedling pool 100 from the back in the right column, as shown. Figure 15 As shown.

[0037] At this point, controlling the rotation of the first motor causes the lifting top plate 502 to slowly descend until the basket 400 inside the pond falls to the bottom of the seedling pond 100, then it continues to descend slightly, causing the steel wire rope 515 to bend. Figure 16 As shown, the four stops 517 are then manually inserted through the four vertical lifting holes 402 from bottom to top. Then, the first motor is controlled to rotate, causing the lifting top plate 502 to rise and the wire rope 515 to separate from the triangular plate 401, thus completing the pouring of the basket 400 in the pool.

[0038] To transfer the basket 400 from the sixth seedling bed 100 on the left to the second seedling bed 100 on the right, when the basket 400 is above the sixth seedling bed 100 on the right, first start the chassis vehicle and reverse to the second seedling bed on the right before slowly placing it.

[0039] If it is to transfer the baskets in the same row, it is relatively simple. After lifting the baskets in the same row onto the seedling pond 100, start the chassis vehicle to move forward or backward to the seedling pond 100 in the same row where the baskets are to be placed, and then slowly place the baskets in the same row onto the seedling pond 100.

[0040] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
