Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent fishery equipment, and in particular relates to intelligent feeding in a lobster farming process, and specifically is a new type of automatic feeding unmanned boat for lobster farming. Background Art

[0002] As a major fishing country, my country has 550 million mu of tidal flats in inland rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds, about 100 million mu of inland water surface area suitable for aquaculture production, and a vast area of ​​water suitable for fishing. In recent years, my country's crayfish industry has flourished, consumer demand has continued to be strong, and the catering market has grown steadily. The crayfish industry has become one of the industries with the most complete and highest comprehensive output value in my country's fishery industry chain. Crayfish farming is a labor-intensive industry. Under the basic market conditions of high demand, high cost and low efficiency, there is a situation of large manpower, difficulty in recruiting workers and high labor costs, resulting in a large amount of resource waste. Traditional artificial lobster feeding methods generally reflect problems such as less feed, difficult operation, high manpower consumption, and susceptibility to weather conditions. Therefore, in view of these drawbacks, an automatic feeding unmanned boat for lobster farming is designed, which is of great significance to improving the efficiency of lobster farming and promoting the digitalization and intelligent development of my country's aquaculture industry.

[0003] In a Chinese patent with the patent publication number CN114532276B, an intelligent unmanned feeding boat for aquaculture is disclosed, which mainly relates to the field of unmanned feeding boats, including an unmanned feeding boat, a sampling device arranged at the bottom of the feeding boat, and a data integration module arranged on the unmanned feeding boat; the unmanned feeding boat includes a hull, a power system arranged on both sides of the bottom of the hull, a frame arranged on the top of the hull, a feeding device arranged on the frame, and a battery arranged on the frame; the battery supplies energy for the unmanned feeding boat, the hull floats on the water surface, and the power system on both sides of the bottom of the hull provides power to move forward. The beneficial effect of the present invention is that in aquaculture, the water area for breeding is modeled through topographic measurement, water quality detection, and biological growth distribution status, so as to optimize and rationally utilize the feeding of aquaculture, realize variable frequency feeding, solve the problems of when to feed, where to feed, and how much to feed in aquaculture, and minimize the input of personnel.

[0004] However, the following defects still exist in the specific use of the comparative documents:

[0005] 1. The feeding problem mentioned in the comparative documents refers only to the environmental ecological modeling of the waters for lobster farming through topographic survey, water quality testing, and biological growth and distribution status, so as to optimize and rationally utilize the feeding of aquaculture and realize variable frequency feeding. This means that the amount of feeding can only be controlled by adjusting the feeding frequency. Lobster feed is usually a mixture of multiple raw materials. When the viscosity of the feed is too high or it contains too many wet components, it is easy to form adhesion in the silo and gradually aggregate into larger particles. When the feeding frequency is certain and the amount of feed particles released is large, feed residues are easy to form in areas with fewer lobsters, and the residual bait is easy to settle at the bottom, affecting the bottom quality and causing unstable water quality. In addition, larger feed particles are easy to block the discharge port, thus affecting the feeding of lobsters.

[0006] 2. The discharge volume of the discharge port in the comparison document remains unchanged, and the feed is only controlled by opening and closing the movable cover. This means that the feed is unevenly distributed in the breeding pond. Some areas may have too much feed, while other areas may have insufficient feed, which affects the growth of lobsters.

[0007] In the Chinese patent with the patent publication number CN108861149B, a hopper with adjustable discharge port size is disclosed, including two bases, both of which are provided with supporting devices, the upper bearing of the supporting device is connected to the first rotating rod, the first rotating rod is provided with multiple telescopic devices, and the uppermost telescopic device is slidably connected to the first limiting device, one side of the first limiting device, the telescopic device is provided with a fixing ring, below the fixing ring, one side of multiple telescopic devices is provided with a first arc groove, and multiple arc grooves and the fixing ring are arranged in an inclined manner, and the telescopic devices and the first arc grooves on the two first rotating rods are arranged in rotational symmetry. The present invention is provided with a first limiting device to limit the transverse direction of the telescopic device, and then the longitudinal limiting device is used to make the first rotating rod rotate when the first rotating rod rotates, so as to rotate the first arc groove on the designated first telescopic rod, so as to adjust the size of the lower opening of the hopper.

[0008] However, the following defects still exist in the specific use of the comparative documents:

[0009] In the comparative document, after the size of the lower opening of the hopper is adjusted, the direction of feeding from the opening remains unchanged. Since lobsters are benthic crustaceans, they like to live at the bottom or edge of the pond. The unmanned feeding boat finds it difficult to feed to the edge of the breeding pond while keeping its discharge direction unchanged. This will result in less or even no feed being delivered to the edge of the pond, which will cause nutritional imbalance for the lobsters in the edge areas due to lack of sufficient feed, affecting their normal growth and development, resulting in significant differences in the growth rates of lobsters in different areas and inconsistent breeding results.

[0010] Therefore, a new type of automatic feeding unmanned boat for lobster farming is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0056] Among them: a water pump is arranged inside the water pumping pipe 35, and the pumped water can be subjected to online water quality detection and analysis, an online calculation model for estimating lobster density is used according to water quality data, and the rotation angle and speed of the driving disk 31 are accurately controlled by the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller, the contact 36 is electrically connected to the air pump, and can drive the air pump to inflate the floating plate 37, the outer surface of the driving disk 31 is serrated, and is meshed with the rack 38, the speed change gear set 311 is arranged upward in order from most to least according to the number of teeth, and is meshed with the auxiliary gear 310, the top of the fourth rotating column 314 is provided with a rotating gear, and is meshed with the rack 38, the outer surface of the fourth rotating column 314 is provided with a threaded groove, and the sliding rod 313 is slidably connected in the threaded groove, the third rotating column 39 is fixedly connected to the first rotating column 29, and a limit block is provided on the outer surface of the bottom end of the third rotating column 39.

[0057] Compared with the comparative document, through the implementation of this embodiment, by adjusting the rotation angle and speed of the driving disk 31, the opening and closing size of the discharge port baffle 32 can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the feeding amount and feeding speed, and then ensuring that feed can be fed into every area in the breeding pond, which is beneficial to the growth of lobsters.

[0058] Everything in the above example works like this:

[0059] In the initial state: the baffle 32 is in a closed state.

[0060] The following is the working process of the auxiliary scattering mechanism 2 for scattering the larger feed particles in the silo 16 and knocking the silo 16:

[0061] When in use, at this time, the silo 16 is in a closed state, the motor 217 drives the first rotating column 29 to rotate, the first rotating column 29 rotates to drive the connecting rod 28 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, the connecting rod 28 rotates to drive the rotating rod 27 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, the rotating rod 27 rotates to drive the rotating sphere 22 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, the rotating sphere 22 rotates to drive the first disc 23 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, and a first return spring 26 is fixedly connected between the support block 21 and the auxiliary sphere 24, and the tying rod 25 penetrates and is slidably connected to the top surface of the support block 21, that is, when the rotating sphere 22 rotates, it will rotate and swing around the center of the rotating sphere 22, and when tilted, the tying rod 2 5 is extended or shortened, and accordingly, the first return spring 26 will also be squeezed or stretched. Since the end of the piercing rod 25 away from the auxiliary sphere 24 is tapered, the feed in the silo 16 is pricked and scattered, and the loose feed particles are more likely to slide and flow in the silo 16, thereby improving the overall fluidity of the feed and reducing blockage and backlog. In addition, the up and down movement of the piercing rod 25 can increase the air circulation between the feed particles and reduce the problem of feed deterioration caused by humidity and stuffiness. Since the bottom end of the piercing rod 25 is tapered, it can make it easier for the piercing rod 25 to penetrate and disperse the particles when piercing the feed particles, and it helps to reduce the resistance of the piercing rod 25 in the piercing process, thereby improving the piercing efficiency.

[0062] At the same time, since a belt is connected between the first rotating column 29 and the second rotating column 211, that is, the first rotating column 29 rotates to drive the second rotating column 211 connected thereto to rotate, and since the outer surface of the bottom end of the second rotating column 211 is fixedly connected to a push block 212, the push block 212 and the push plate 213 are located in the same horizontal plane, and a wedge block is provided on the side of the push plate 213 close to the second rotating column 211, when the second rotating column 211 rotates, the push block 212 can be driven to rotate together, thereby pushing the wedge block to move to the side away from the second rotating column 211. At this time, the second return spring 216 will be squeezed. Since the telescopic rod 215 is located at the second return spring The inside of the spring 216 can prevent the second return spring 216 from tilting when being squeezed, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement. When the push block 212 no longer pushes the push plate 213 to move, the originally squeezed telescopic rod 215 and the second return spring 216 will be instantly released, pushing the push plate 213 to return to its original state. A rubber hammer is provided at one end of the push plate 213 away from the second support plate 210, thereby the silo 16 can be knocked. During the closing process of the silo 16, the push plate 213 moves, thereby knocking the silo 16, which can cause the feed adhering to the inner wall of the silo 16 to vibrate, causing the feed to fall into the silo 16.

[0063] During the feeding process, the knocking action can promote the feed to flow out of the silo 16 more evenly, which helps to ensure the uniform distribution of the feed in the breeding pond and improve the feeding effect of the lobster. The knocking action can also remove the feed residue at the outlet of the silo 16 to avoid the feed from being retained or accumulated during the feeding process, which helps to keep the outlet of the silo 16 clean and unobstructed, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of feeding.

[0064] Please refer to the above working process Figures 1 to 5 .

[0065] The following is the working process of controlling the feeding mechanism 3 to control the size of the discharge port of the silo 16:

[0066] When in use, since a water pump is provided inside the water pumping pipe 35, the pumped water can be subjected to online water quality detection and analysis, an online calculation model for estimating the lobster density is formed based on the water quality data, and the rotation angle and speed of the driving disk 31 are accurately controlled by the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller. When the lobster density is relatively low, the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller controls the driving disk 31 to rotate slightly clockwise. At this time, the arc groove 33 provided inside the driving disk 31 will also rotate accordingly, thereby driving the sliding plate 31 to rotate with it. The baffle plate 32 connected to the feed outlet is opened. At this time, the gap opened by the baffle plate 32 is smaller, and the feed flowing out will also decrease. Conversely, when the density of lobsters is large, the clockwise rotation angle of the drive disk 31 is also large. At this time, the gap opened by the baffle plate 32 becomes larger, and the feed flowing out will also increase. Compared with the fixed opening size in the comparative document, by adjusting the rotation angle and speed of the drive disk 31, the opening and closing size of the discharge port baffle plate 32 can be accurately controlled, thereby realizing accurate control of the feeding amount and feeding speed, which is beneficial to the growth of lobsters.

[0067] Since the outer surface of the driving disk 31 is serrated and meshed with the rack 38, that is, when the driving disk 31 rotates clockwise, the rack 38 will be driven to slide. Since both sides of the rack 38 are serrated, and the other side of the rack 38 is meshed with the rotating gear provided on the fourth rotating column 314, the fourth rotating column 314 will be driven to rotate clockwise. Since the outer surface of the fourth rotating column 314 is provided with a thread groove, and the sliding rod 313 is slidably connected in the thread groove, that is, the fourth rotating column 314 rotates clockwise to drive the sliding rod 313 to slide downward, and the end of the sliding rod 313 away from the fourth rotating column 314 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary gear 310, that is, the sliding rod 313 slides downward to drive the auxiliary gear 310 to slide downward. Since the third rotating column 39 is fixedly connected to the first rotating column 29, and a limit block is provided on the outer surface of the bottom end of the third rotating column 39, it can be known from the above that the first rotating column 29 is driven to rotate by the motor 217, that is, the third rotating column 39 is also in a rotating state. Then, the auxiliary gear 310 is driven to rotate through the limit block, and the speed gear set 311 is arranged upward in order from most to least according to the number of teeth, and meshes with the auxiliary gear 310, that is, when the speed of the auxiliary gear 310 remains unchanged, the more teeth the speed gear set 311 meshing with the auxiliary gear 310 has, the faster the speed of the second disc 312 is, and the fewer teeth the speed gear set 311 has, the slower the speed of the second disc 312 is, and the speed corresponds to the opening size of the discharge port. When the lobster density is small, the discharge port opening is small, and the speed of the second disc 312 is slow. At this time, the distance of the thrown feed is short and the dispersion range is dense. When the lobster density is large, the discharge port opening is large, and the speed of the second disc 312 is fast. At this time, the distance of the thrown feed is far and the dispersion range is wide. Therefore, the problem of a single feed placement position in the comparative document is avoided, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the feed. By controlling the placement position and range of the feed, the waste of feed can be reduced and the breeding cost can be reduced.

[0068] In addition, when the hull 1 is heavier, the hull 1 will sink in the water. When the contact 36 is submerged in water, the contact 36 is electrically connected to the air pump. Subsequently, the air pump is used to inflate the float 37, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the hull 1, allowing it to carry more feed and reduce the number of feeding times, thereby saving energy.
