Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of mandarin fish farming, and in particular to a feeding device for the domestication and cultivation of mandarin fish. Background Technology

[0002] The spotted mandarin fish (Siniperca spp.) is a species of fish belonging to the family Perciformes, genus Siniperca. It is commonly known as the flower mandarin fish or black mandarin fish. It has an elongated and laterally compressed body; a large head with a pointed snout; a terminal mouth, with the lower jaw significantly longer than the upper jaw, and the teeth at the front of the lower jaw slightly exposed when the mouth is closed; large eyes; a body covered with small cycloid scales; a complete lateral line; two dorsal fins, the first of which is spined; fan-shaped pectoral fins; and a rounded caudal fin. Its body is brownish-yellow; the head and gill covers have small, dark black round spots, and the sides of the body have numerous black rings with brownish-yellow centers; there are four large patches along the midline of the back; the unpaired fins have stripes composed of black spots. The spotted mandarin fish has delicate, tender flesh, a delicious flavor, grows quickly, and has strong disease resistance, making it a valuable freshwater economic fish, often called "freshwater grouper." Currently, many areas are using formulated feed to farm spotted mandarin fish, reducing farming costs and making it more accessible to consumers.

[0003] The domestication process for mandarin fish involves feeding them live fish, then fish paste, then mixed feed, and finally directly feeding them formulated feed. Because mandarin fish prefer to eat living, moving creatures, ordinary feeding devices simply scatter food into the water, causing it to sink slowly and making it difficult for them to notice or prey on it. Therefore, a device is needed that allows the feed to move in the water and create splashes for mandarin fish farming. To address this need, this invention provides a feeding device for mandarin fish farming and domestication. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a feeding device for the domestication and cultivation of mandarin fish, thereby effectively solving the problems pointed out in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A feeding device for domesticating and raising mandarin fish includes a mounting platform, a positioning ring, a storage box, a moving platform, a feeding tube, a feeding pipe, a feeding block, a spring, and a drive mechanism. The positioning ring is coaxially mounted on the mounting platform. The storage box is coaxially rotatably mounted on the mounting platform via the positioning ring. The mounting platform has multiple sets of discharge ports, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the feed pellets. The discharge ports are chamfered. Multiple moving platforms are equidistantly slidably mounted on the bottom of the mounting platform. Multiple sets of feeding tubes are equidistantly mounted on the moving platforms. A feeding pipe is installed at the inlet of each feeding tube, and the spacing between the feeding pipes corresponds one-to-one with the spacing between the feeding ports on the mounting platform. The feeding block is slidably mounted inside the shaft cavity of the feeding tube. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the feeding block and the shaft cavity wall of the feeding tube. The diameter of the shaft cavity of the feeding tube is slightly larger than the diameter of the feed pellets. The drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting platform and is connected to the storage box and the multiple sets of feeding blocks.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a fixed frame, a mounting shaft, mounting arms, bearings, connecting rods, and a power mechanism. Two sets of fixed frames are mounted on the moving platform, and mounting shafts are rotatably mounted on the two sets of fixed frames. Multiple sets of mounting arms are equidistantly mounted on the mounting shafts, and the multiple sets of mounting arms are respectively mounted at different angles on the mounting shafts. Bearings are rotatably mounted on the mounting arms. The connecting rods pass through the adjustment holes of the feeding pipe and are mounted on the feeding block. The bearings and connecting rods are correspondingly set and slidably connected. The power mechanism is mounted on the mounting platform and is connected to the storage box and the multiple sets of mounting shafts respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the power mechanism includes a drive shaft, a first gear, a first gear ring, a second gear, a second gear ring, a drive motor, and a transmission mechanism. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform. The first gear is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft. The first gear ring is coaxially rotatably mounted on the positioning ring and meshes with the first gear for transmission. The second gear is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft. The second gear ring is coaxially mounted on the storage box and meshes with the second gear ring for transmission. The drive motor is mounted on the mounting platform, and its output end is connected to the drive shaft for transmission. The transmission mechanism is mounted on the mounting platform and is connected to the first gear ring and multiple sets of mounting shafts respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission shaft, a worm, a worm wheel, a third gear, a fixed seat, and a hollow shaft. Two sets of transmission shafts are symmetrically rotated and mounted at both ends of the mounting platform. The worm is coaxially mounted on the transmission shaft. Fixed seats are mounted on both sides of the mounting platform adjacent to the worm. The hollow shaft is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat. The hollow shaft is provided with a polygonal inner cavity. One end of the mounting shaft is provided with a polygonal structure and is plugged and pulled into the polygonal inner cavity of the hollow shaft. A worm wheel is coaxially mounted on the hollow shaft. Two sets of worm wheels mesh with the worm for transmission. The third gear is coaxially mounted on the other end of the transmission shaft. Two sets of third gears mesh with the first gear ring for transmission.

[0010] Furthermore, a locking device is installed at the ejection port of the feeding tube.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes stirring rods, with multiple sets of stirring rods installed at equal intervals inside the storage tank cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a protective box, which is mounted on a mounting platform, and the drive mechanism is located inside the working cavity of the protective box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention after adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the positioning ring enables the storage box to be positioned and rotated on the mounting platform, the storage box enables the feed pellets to be stored centrally, the moving platform enables multiple sets of feeding pipes to be installed and slidably supported on the mounting platform, the feeding pipes are connected to the discharge port of the mounting platform through the feeding pipe, the feed pellets fall into the shaft cavity of the feeding pipe by gravity through the discharge port of the mounting platform, the driving mechanism provides working power to the feeding block and the storage box, the rotation of the storage box relative to the mounting platform agitates the internal feed to prevent blockage at the discharge port, the feeding block drives the spring to apply pressure, and when the driving force disappears, the feeding block resets, impacting the feed pellets inside the shaft cavity of the feeding pipe. The impact of the feed pellets gives them kinetic energy in the water, mimicking living creatures, and at the same time agitates the water to attract the attention of the spotted mandarin fish.

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0024] The present invention discloses a feeding device for the domestication of mandarin fish farming. The installation, connection or setting methods of all the components mentioned above are common mechanical methods, and the specific structure, model and coefficient index of all the components are their own technologies. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented, so they will not be described in detail.

[0025] In the feeding device for the domestication of mandarin fish farming of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, and vertical and horizontal" in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use state, or are common names understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term. At the same time, numerals such as "first," "second," and "third" do not represent specific quantities or orders, but are only used to distinguish names. Moreover, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a feeding device for domesticating and raising mandarin fish includes a mounting platform 1, a positioning ring 2, a storage box 3, a moving platform 4, a feeding pipe 5, a feed tube 6, a feeding block 7, a spring 8, and a drive mechanism. The positioning ring 2 is coaxially mounted on the mounting platform 1. The storage box 3 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 1 via the positioning ring 2. The mounting platform 1 is provided with multiple sets of discharge ports. The diameter of the discharge ports of the mounting platform 1 is larger than the diameter of the feed pellets. The discharge ports of the mounting platform 1 are chamfered. The multiple sets of moving platforms 4 slide equidistantly. Multiple sets of feeding pipes 5 are installed at equal intervals on the moving platform 4 at the bottom of the mounting platform 1. Feeding pipes 6 are installed at the inlet of the feeding pipes 5. The spacing of the feeding pipes 6 corresponds one-to-one with the spacing of the feed inlet of the mounting platform 1. The feeding block 7 is slidably installed inside the shaft cavity of the feeding pipe 5. The two ends of the spring 8 are respectively connected to the feeding block 7 and the shaft cavity wall of the feeding pipe 5. The diameter of the shaft cavity of the feeding pipe 5 is slightly larger than the diameter of the feed pellets. The drive mechanism is installed on the mounting platform 1. The drive mechanism is respectively connected to the storage box 3 and the multiple sets of feeding blocks 7.

[0027] During use, the positioning ring 2 positions and rotates the storage box 3 on the mounting platform 1, allowing the feed pellets to be stored centrally. The moving platform 4 allows multiple sets of feeding pipes 5 to be installed and slidably supported on the mounting platform 1. The feeding pipe 6 connects the feeding pipe 5 to the outlet of the mounting platform 1, allowing the feed pellets to fall into the shaft cavity of the feeding pipe 5 by gravity through the outlet of the mounting platform 1. The drive mechanism provides working power to the feeding block 7 and the storage box 3. The rotation of the storage box 3 relative to the mounting platform 1 agitates the internal feed to prevent blockage at the outlet. The feeding block 7 applies pressure to the spring 8, and when the driving force disappears, the feeding block 7 resets, impacting the feed pellets inside the shaft cavity of the feeding pipe 5. The impact of the feed pellets gives them kinetic energy in the water, mimicking living creatures, and at the same time, it stirs up water splashes to attract the attention of the spotted mandarin fish.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the drive mechanism includes a fixed frame 9, a mounting shaft 10, a mounting arm 11, a bearing 12, a connecting rod 13, and a power mechanism. Two sets of fixed frames 9 are mounted on the moving table 4. The mounting shaft 10 is rotatably mounted on the two sets of fixed frames 9. Multiple sets of mounting arms 11 are equidistantly mounted on the mounting shaft 10, and the multiple sets of mounting arms 11 are respectively mounted at different angles on the mounting shaft 10. The bearing 12 is rotatably mounted on the mounting arm 11. The connecting rod 13 passes through the adjustment hole of the feeding pipe 5 and is mounted on the feeding block 7. The bearing 12 and the connecting rod 13 are correspondingly arranged and slidably connected. The power mechanism is mounted on the mounting table 1. The power mechanism is connected to the storage box 3 and the multiple sets of mounting shafts 10 respectively.

[0029] During use, the mounting shaft 10 is rotated and supported on the moving platform 4 by the fixing frame 9. Multiple sets of bearings 12 are installed on the positioning ring 2 by the mounting arm 11. The moving range of the feeding block 7 is limited by the connecting rod 13. The mounting arm 11 is rotated by the mounting shaft 10 and cooperates with the connecting rod 13 to adjust the working position of the feeding block 7. The bearings 12 reduce the sliding friction between the mounting arm 11 and the connecting rod 13. The different installation angles of the multiple sets of mounting arms 11 allow the feed pellets to be alternately delivered from multiple sets of feeding tubes 5 on the same side, increasing the attention of the mandarin fish and prompting them to eat in time while maintaining kinetic energy during feed delivery.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the power mechanism includes a drive shaft 14, a first gear 15, a first gear ring 16, a second gear 17, a second gear ring 18, a drive motor 19, and a transmission mechanism. The drive shaft 14 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 1. The first gear 15 is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft 14. The first gear ring 16 is coaxially rotatably mounted on the positioning ring 2. The first gear ring 16 meshes with the first gear 15 for transmission. The second gear 17 is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft 14. The second gear ring 18 is coaxially mounted on the storage box 3. The second gear 17 meshes with the second gear ring 18 for transmission. The drive motor 19 is mounted on the mounting platform 1. The output end of the drive motor 19 is connected to the drive shaft 14 for transmission. The transmission mechanism is mounted on the mounting platform 1. The transmission mechanism is connected to the first gear ring 16 and multiple sets of mounting shafts 10 respectively.

[0031] During use, the drive motor 19 provides rotational power to the drive shaft 14, which in turn drives the first gear 15 to rotate and mesh with the first gear ring 16, providing working rotational power to the first gear ring 16. The second gear 17 meshes with the second gear ring 18, providing rotational power to the storage box 3 relative to the mounting platform 1. The transmission mechanism causes the first gear ring 16 to drive multiple sets of mounting shafts 10 to rotate synchronously, improving the linkage of the device.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission shaft 20, a worm 21, a worm wheel 22, a third gear 23, a fixed seat 34, and a hollow shaft. Two sets of transmission shafts 20 are symmetrically rotated and installed at both ends of the mounting platform 1. The worm 21 is coaxially installed on the transmission shaft 20. Fixed seats 34 are installed on both sides of the mounting platform 1 adjacent to the worm 21. The hollow shaft is rotatably installed on the fixed seat 34. The hollow shaft is provided with a polygonal inner cavity. One end of the mounting shaft 10 is provided with a polygonal structure and is plugged and pulled into the polygonal inner cavity of the hollow shaft. The worm wheel 22 is coaxially installed on the hollow shaft. The two sets of worm wheels 22 are meshed and connected to the worm 21. The third gear 23 is coaxially installed at the other end of the transmission shaft 20. The two sets of third gears 23 are meshed and connected to the first gear ring 16.

[0033] During use, the worm 21 and the third gear 23 are coaxially mounted and rotatably supported on the mounting platform 1 via the transmission shaft 20. The hollow shaft is rotatably supported on the mounting platform 1 via the fixed seat 34. The transmission relationship between the hollow shaft and the mounting shaft 10 remains unchanged when the moving platform 4 drives the mounting shaft 10 to move. The worm 21 and the third gear 23 mesh with the first gear ring 16, causing the drive shaft 14 to synchronously drive the transmission shaft 20 to rotate. The transmission shaft 20 drives the worm 21 to rotate and mesh with the worm wheel 22, providing synchronous rotational power to the mounting shaft 10.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, a clip 24 is installed at the ejection port of the feeding tube 5;

[0035] During use, the clip 24 blocks the feed pellets when they are at the ejection port of the feeding tube 5, preventing them from falling freely under the weight of the clip, while ensuring that the pellets can be ejected through the ejection port of the feeding tube 5 under the drive of the feeding block 7.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, it also includes a stirring rod 25, and multiple sets of stirring rods 25 are installed equidistantly inside the cavity of the storage box 3;

[0037] During use, the feed pellets are agitated by the rotation of the storage box 3 relative to the mounting platform 1 caused by the cooperation of multiple sets of stirring rods 25, preventing blockage at the opening of the mounting platform 1 and maintaining feeding stability.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the above, it also includes a protective box 26, which is mounted on the mounting platform 1 and the drive mechanism is located inside the working cavity of the protective box 26.

[0039] During use, the drive mechanism is isolated and protected by the protection box 26, which increases the stability of the device's transmission and improves the device's working safety.

[0040] First, feed pellets are placed into the storage bin 3. Then, the drive motor 19 is started to drive the drive shaft 14 to rotate. The drive shaft 14 then meshes with the second gear 17 and the second gear ring 18 to drive the multiple sets of stirring rods 25 inside the storage bin 3 to rotate and agitate the feed. At the same time, the drive shaft 14 meshes with the first gear ring 16, and the first gear ring 16 meshes with the third gear 23 to drive the two sets of transmission shafts 20 to rotate. Then, the transmission shaft 20 meshes with the worm gear 21 and the worm wheel 22 to drive the hollow shaft to rotate. Then, the hollow shaft, through cooperation with the mounting shaft 10, drives the mounting arm 11 to drive the multiple sets of bearings 12 to rotate. Then, the bearings 12 cooperate with the connecting rod 13 to drive the feeding block 7 to move and compress the spring 8. At the same time, the pellets fall into the shaft cavity of the feeding tube 5 by gravity and are blocked by the clamp 24. When the bearings 12 and the connecting rod 13 are disengaged, the feeding block 7 is driven to reset by the spring 8. Then, the feeding block 7 ejects the feed pellets into the water to attract the attention of the mandarin fish and make them eat.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
