Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aquaculture, and in particular relates to a feeding device suitable for aquaculture. Background Art

[0002] my country's aquaculture industry is gradually developing in the direction of scale, but the current feeding mode has a low level of automation and the amount of feed is difficult to control, which can no longer meet the needs of industry development. However, in the current intelligent aquaculture factories, the working space of ground feeding robots is limited, and the feeding of feed is too concentrated. The breeding objects will compete with each other, causing stress reactions in the breeding objects, resulting in feed waste and reduced feed utilization. At the same time, feed excrement is also aggregated, which increases the accumulation of feed residues and excrement in the water, and the risk of water pollution is significantly increased. The above limitations make it impossible for feeding robots to achieve the expected results in actual production. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a feeding device suitable for aquaculture, which improves feeding uniformity, increases feed utilization, and is conducive to reducing water pollution.

[0004] Note that the description of these objectives does not prevent the existence of other objectives. One embodiment of the present invention does not need to achieve all of the above objectives.
