Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aquaculture, and particularly relates to an aquaculture feeding device and method. Background Art

[0002] Aquaculture is that humans utilize the available waters for aquaculture, and according to the ecological habits of the aquaculture objects and the requirements for water environment conditions, apply aquaculture technologies and facilities to engage in the aquaculture of aquatic economic animals. In response to global population growth and increasing demand for aquatic products, aquaculture has become an important way to meet the growing demand for aquatic products and plays an irreplaceable role. During the aquaculture process, it is necessary to regularly feed the aquaculture area to meet the nutritional needs of the cultured animals.

[0003] Currently, the feeding in aquaculture mainly includes two methods: manual throwing and feeding by a feed feeding device at a fixed point. Among them, feeding by a feed feeding device is simpler and more efficient and is suitable for large-scale and intensive aquaculture. However, in most cases, the feed is put in a relatively concentrated manner, which results in that the aquatic animals near the feed feeding device can obtain more food, while the aquatic animals far from the feed feeding point may have insufficient food. Even when culturing aggressive aquatic animals, the violent feeding actions may cause the concentrated aquatic animals to be bruised and scratched, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of the aquatic animals. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Step 4: Simultaneously discharge the feed from all the feeding holes below the feeding plate into the aquaculture pond.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an aquaculture feeding device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. For this aquaculture feeding device, the driving motor drives the storage barrel to rotate, and the storage barrel drives the feeding plate to swing. When the feeding plate swings to the horizontal state, the feed in the feeding plate will be discharged from multiple feeding holes at the bottom, so as to achieve a one-time comprehensive and more uniform feeding of the aquaculture pond, making the feeding amounts of all aquaculture animals more uniform, and it is not easy for aquaculture animals to grab food, thus ensuring the quality of aquaculture animals.

[0022] 2. For this aquaculture feeding device, the rotating rotating shaft drives the winding drum to rotate, the winding drum winds the pulling rope, and the slider drives the storage barrel and the feeding plate to slide downward, so that the feeding plate is closer to the water surface of the aquaculture pond, reducing the force of the feed floating everywhere and falling into the water, and thus the aquaculture animals are not easily frightened.

[0023] 3. For this aquaculture feeding device, the rotating storage barrel drives the vertical rod to swing, the vertical rod drives the cam to rotate, and the continuously rotating cam makes the feeding plate slide back and forth, so that the feed in the storage barrel slides into the feeding plate more efficiently, preventing the feed from clogging and caking.

[0024] 4. For this aquaculture feeding device, the swinging feeding plate drives the inner rod to swing in the storage barrel, and the inner rod breaks up the feed in the storage barrel, preventing the feed in the storage barrel from caking.

[0025] 5. In this aquaculture feeding device, the reciprocating sliding of the feeding plate causes one of the driven gears to roll back and forth on the straight rack, and the driven gear drives the inner rod to rotate forward and backward reciprocally within the feeding plate. As a result, the feed can enter the feeding plate more efficiently, and the dispersion effect on the feed is better.

[0026] 6. In this aquaculture feeding device, the reciprocating rotation of the inner rod also drives the threaded rod to rotate reciprocally, and the threaded rod reciprocally rises and falls within the internal threaded tube, thereby making the effect of the inner rod on dispersing the feed and allowing the feed to enter the feeding plate better.

Specific embodiments

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0040] Embodiment 1:

[0041] Refer to Figures 1-10, An aquaculture feeding device, including a rectangular frame 1, further comprising: two symmetrically arranged sliders 2, longitudinally slidably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the rectangular frame 1. Among them, a storage barrel 4 for storing feed is rotatably installed between the two sliders 2 through a rotating shaft 3. A strip-shaped opening 7 for discharging feed is provided at the lower end of the storage barrel 4. A driving part for driving the storage barrel 4 to rotate and a lifting part for driving the storage barrel 4 to move up and down are provided on the slider 2. The driving part includes a driving motor 5 fixedly installed on the slider 2, and the output shaft of the driving motor 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 3 through a worm and worm gear 6; A feeding plate 8 with a cavity inside is installed at the strip-shaped opening 7 and is communicated with the strip-shaped opening 7. The feed in the strip-shaped opening 7 can enter the cavity of the feeding plate 8. The width range of the feeding plate 8 is within 1.5 meters, and the preferred width in this application is 1.2 meters. The length range of the feeding plate 8 is within 5 meters, and the preferred length in this application is 3 meters. Among them, feeding holes 9 are evenly distributed on both sides of the feeding plate 8. The diameter of the feeding holes 9 is more than 3 times that of the feed particles, and the preferred value in this application is 4 times. And the distance between adjacent feeding holes 9 is 5 cm - 18 cm, and the preferred value in this application is 6 cm. Baffles 10 for blocking the feeding holes 9 are slidably installed on both sides of the feeding plate 8. Discharge holes 11 corresponding to the feeding holes 9 are provided on the baffles 10. An opening gate component for driving the baffles 10 to translate is provided on the feeding plate 8.

[0042] Specifically, during use, the rectangular frame 1 is fixed between two aquaculture ponds, and the feed is stored in the storage barrel 4. At this time, the feeding plate 8 is in a vertical state, and the feed in the storage barrel 4 will slide into the cavity of the feeding plate 8. When it is necessary to feed one of the aquaculture ponds, start the driving motor 5. The driving motor 5 will drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate through the worm and worm gear 6, and the rotating shaft 3 will drive the storage barrel 4 to rotate. The storage barrel 4 will drive the feeding plate 8 to swing. When the feeding plate 8 swings to the horizontal state, the opening gate component will translate the baffle 10 and align the discharge holes 11 with the feeding holes 9. Then the feed in the feeding plate 8 will be discharged from the multiple feeding holes 9 at the bottom, and a one-time comprehensive and more uniform feeding of the aquaculture pond can be realized, making the feeding amounts of all aquatic animals more uniform, and it is not easy for aquatic animals to grab food from each other, ensuring the quality of aquatic animals. After the feeding is completed, reverse the output shaft of the driving motor 5, and then the feeding plate 8 will swing in the opposite direction until it is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When it is necessary to feed the other aquaculture pond, just reverse the output shaft of the driving motor 5. During the swinging of the feeding plate 8, the lifting part will drive the storage barrel 4 and the feeding plate 8 to slide downwards, so that the feeding plate 8 is closer to the water surface of the aquaculture pond, reducing the force of feed floating everywhere and falling into the water, and thus making it not easy for aquatic animals to be frightened.

[0043] Embodiment Two:

[0044] Refer to Figures 1-4, which is basically the same as the first embodiment. Furthermore, the specific implementation of the lifting part is specifically disclosed.

[0045] The above-mentioned lifting part includes a short shaft 39 rotatably connected to the slider 2. A winding drum 40 is fixedly installed on the short shaft 39. The rotating shaft 3 and the short shaft 39 are connected by two meshing transmission gears 44. A pulling rope 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the winding drum 40. In the initial state, the pulling rope 41 is not wound around the winding drum 40. The end of the pulling rope 41 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the rectangular frame 1. A lifting spring 42 is installed between the slider 2 and the inner top of the rectangular frame 1.

[0046] Specifically, when the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the rotating shaft 3 will drive the short shaft 39 to rotate through two meshing transmission gears 44. The short shaft 39 will drive the winding drum 40 to rotate. The winding drum 40 will wind the pulling rope 41. Since the end of the pulling rope 41 is fixed to the bottom of the rectangular frame 1, the slider 2 will be pulled downward and the lifting spring 42 will be stretched. The downward-sliding slider 2 will drive the storage bucket 4 and the feeding plate 8 to slide downward, so that the feeding plate 8 is closer to the water surface of the breeding pond, reducing the force of feed floating around and falling into the water. As a result, aquatic animals are not easily frightened. When the winding drum 40 rotates in reverse, the feeding plate 8 and the storage bucket 4 will also slide downward.

[0047] Embodiment Three:

[0048] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , which is basically the same as the second embodiment. Furthermore, the specific implementation of the gate-opening component is specifically disclosed.

[0049] The above-mentioned gate-opening component includes a fixed plate 12 fixedly connected to the feeding plate 8, a movable plate 13 fixedly connected to the baffle 10. A return spring 14 is installed between the movable plate 13 and the fixed plate 12. Among them, L-shaped ejector rods 15 are fixedly connected to both baffle plates 10. U-shaped frames 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular frame 1. Top blocks 43 corresponding to the two L-shaped ejector rods 15 are fixedly connected to the two U-shaped frames 16. The two L-shaped ejector rods 15 and the top blocks 43 are not left-right symmetric with respect to the rectangular frame 1, which can avoid the problem that the two L-shaped ejector rods 15 will simultaneously press against the top blocks 43.

[0050] When the swinging feeding plate 8 swings to the horizontal state, the lower L-shaped ejector rod 15 will be pressed by the top block 43 on the U-shaped frame 16. The L-shaped ejector rod 15 will drive the baffle 10 to translate on the feeding plate 8 and align the discharge hole 11 with the feeding hole 9. Then, the feed in the feeding plate 8 will be discharged from the multiple feeding holes 9 at the bottom, and thus a one-time comprehensive and more uniform feeding of the breeding pond can be realized. When the feeding plate 8 swings to the other side, the other L-shaped ejector rod 15 will press against the top block 43 on the other side.

[0051] Example 4:

[0052] Refer to Figures 3-8 and Figure 10 , which is basically the same as Example 3. Furthermore, a specific implementation for preventing feed from clogging in the feeding plate 8 is specifically added.

[0053] The above-mentioned feeding plate 8 is horizontally slidably installed in the strip-shaped opening 7, and short plates 17 are fixedly connected to both inner walls of the strip-shaped opening 7 on both sides of the upper end of the feeding plate 8. The short plates 17 are used to block the openings on both sides of the strip-shaped opening 7 to prevent the feed from sliding out from both sides of the feeding plate 8. Among them, vertical rods 19 are rotatably connected to both sides of the storage barrel 4, and a cam 20 that fits against the side wall of the feeding plate 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the vertical rod 19. A swing spring 18 is installed between the feeding plate 8 and both inner walls of the strip-shaped opening 7. A driven gear 21 is installed on the outer wall of the vertical rod 19 through a one-way bearing. Arc-shaped racks 38 are fixedly connected to both sliders 2, and the two arc-shaped racks 38 are symmetrically arranged about the center.

[0054] Specifically, after the feeding plate 8 is tilted, the rotating storage barrel 4 will drive the vertical rod 19 to swing. The vertical rod 19 will drive the driven gear 21 to sweep across the arc-shaped rack 38. The driven gear 21 will drive the vertical rod 19 to rotate. The vertical rod 19 will drive the cam 20 to rotate. The cam 20 will intermittently press against the side wall of the feeding plate 8. The feeding plate 8 will horizontally slide in the strip-shaped opening 7 in a direction away from the cam 20. When the feeding plate 8 is not pressed, the swing spring 18 will drive the feeding plate 8 to slide back in the reverse direction. Thus, the continuously rotating cam 20 will cause the feeding plate 8 to reciprocate. Then, the feed in the storage barrel 4 will slide into the feeding plate 8 more efficiently, preventing the feed from clogging and caking. And the swinging feeding plate 8 will also drive the inner rod 22 to swing in the storage barrel 4. The inner rod 22 will disperse the feed in the storage barrel 4 to prevent the feed in the storage barrel 4 from caking. When the feeding plate 8 is about to be parallel to the water surface of the breeding pond, the driven gear 21 will cross over the arc-shaped rack 38. And when the feeding plate 8 swings back in the reverse direction, the driven gear 21 will sweep across the arc-shaped rack 38 again. The driven gear 21 will reverse. Since the driven gear 21 is installed on the vertical rod 19 through a one-way bearing, the reversed driven gear 21 will not drive the vertical rod 19 to reverse. Since the two arc-shaped racks 38 are symmetrically arranged about the center, the feeding plate 8 swinging to one side will only cause the driven gear 21 on one side to sweep across the arc-shaped rack 38.

[0055] A plurality of inner rods 22 are arranged at equal intervals in the above-mentioned feeding plate 8. The top of the inner rod 22 extends into the storage barrel 4, and the lower end of the inner rod 22 extends to the lower end of the feeding plate 8 and is fixedly installed with a passive gear 23. Two adjacent passive gears 23 are meshed and connected. A straight rack 30 is fixedly connected to the storage barrel 4 through a frame body 31, and the straight rack 30 is meshed and connected with one of the passive gears 23. The lower end of the feeding plate 8 is fixedly connected with an internal thread tube 28, and the lower end of the inner rod 22 is fixedly connected with a threaded rod 29, and the threaded rod 29 is threadedly connected in the internal thread tube 28.

[0056] When the feeding plate 8 reciprocally slides, the feeding plate 8 will cause one of the passive gears 23 to reciprocally roll on the straight rack 30, and the passive gear 23 will drive the inner rod 22 to reciprocally rotate forward and backward in the feeding plate 8, so that the feed can enter the feeding plate 8 more efficiently, and the dispersion effect on the feed is better. When the inner rod 22 reciprocally rotates, the inner rod 22 will also drive the threaded rod 29 to reciprocally rotate, and the threaded rod 29 will reciprocally lift in the internal thread tube 28, so that the effect of the inner rod 22 on dispersing the feed and making the feed enter the feeding plate 8 is better.

[0057] Example Five:

[0058] Refer to Figures 6-10 , which is basically the same as Example Four. Further, a specific implementation plan for mixing traditional Chinese medicine powder into the feed is specifically added.

[0059] A inner box 24 for storing traditional Chinese medicine powder is horizontally slidably installed at the inner top of the above-mentioned storage barrel 4. The traditional Chinese medicine powder can be astragalus membranaceus for enhancing immunity, or it can be isatis root for clearing heat and detoxifying. Storing them separately is to prevent the feed from causing the traditional Chinese medicine to deteriorate. A round hole 25 is provided at the bottom of the inner box 24, and the upper end of the inner rod 22 extends into the round hole 25. An inner cavity 26 is provided at the upper end of the inner rod 22. A powder spraying hole 27 aligned with the feeding hole 9 is provided on the outer wall of the inner rod 22. An inner tube 32 fixedly connected to the inner box 24 is provided in the inner cavity 26. An air spraying hole 33 facing the powder spraying hole 27 is provided on the outer wall of the inner tube 32. Among them, elastic air bags 34 are fixedly installed on both outer walls of the storage barrel 4. An air suction pipe 35 and an exhaust pipe 36 communicated with the elastic air bag 34 are fixedly connected to the elastic air bag 34. The exhaust pipe 36, a cross pipe 37 fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner tube 32 is provided in the inner box 24, and the end of the exhaust pipe 36 is fixedly connected to the cross pipe 37.

[0060] When the inner rod 22 reciprocates and rotates reciprocally, it will also drive the inner box 24 to swing reciprocally. Then, the traditional Chinese medicine powder in the inner box 24 will enter the inner cavity 26 more efficiently and be discharged into the feeding plate 8 from the powder spraying holes 27. Thus, the feed can be doped with the traditional Chinese medicine powder and put into the aquaculture pond, and good uniformity can be ensured. The traditional Chinese medicine powder can make the aquaculture effect of aquatic animals better. When the storage barrel 4 descends to the limit position, the rectangular frame 1 will squeeze the elastic airbag 34 located below. The elastic airbag 34 will blow air into the horizontal pipe 37 through the exhaust pipe 36. The horizontal pipe 37 will blow air into the inner pipe 32. The inner pipe 32 will blow air towards the powder spraying holes 27 through the air spraying holes 33. Thus, part of the traditional Chinese medicine powder in the inner cavity 26 can be blown into the feeding plate 8. Since the powder spraying holes 27 are also aligned with the feeding holes 9, the traditional Chinese medicine powder can be blown towards the feeding holes 9, so that the feeding holes 9 can efficiently discharge the feed in the feeding plate 8 and reduce the situation of the feed being stuck. When the elastic airbag 34 is not compressed, it will elastically reset and suck in the external air through the air suction pipe 35.

[0061] An aquaculture feeding method has the following operation steps:

[0062] Step 1: Swing the feeding plate 8 until the feeding plate 8 is parallel to the water surface of the aquaculture pond;

[0063] Step 2: During the swinging of the feeding plate 8, mix the traditional Chinese medicine powder into the feed;

[0064] Step 3: During the swinging of the feeding plate 8, make the feeding plate 8 swing reciprocally;

[0065] Step 4: Simultaneously put the feed into the aquaculture pond through all the feeding holes 9 below the feeding plate 8.

[0066] This aquaculture feeding equipment, when in use, fixes the rectangular frame 1 between two aquaculture ponds, stores feed in the storage barrel 4, and stores traditional Chinese medicine powder in the inner box 24. At this time, the feeding plate 8 is in a vertical state. The feed in the storage barrel 4 will slide into the cavity of the feeding plate 8, and the traditional Chinese medicine powder will slide into the inner cavity 26 of the inner rod 22. Since the discharge hole 11 of the baffle 10 is not aligned with the feeding hole 9, the feed will not be discharged from the feeding hole 9. When it is necessary to feed the aquaculture pond on one side, start the drive motor 5. The drive motor 5 will drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate through the worm and gear 6. The rotating shaft 3 will drive the storage barrel 4 to rotate. The storage barrel 4 will drive the feeding plate 8 to swing. When the feeding plate 8 swings to the horizontal state, the L-shaped ejector rod 15 located below will be pressed by the top block 43 on the U-shaped frame 16. The L-shaped ejector rod 15 will drive the baffle 10 to translate on the feeding plate 8 and align the discharge hole 11 with the feeding hole 9. Then the feed in the feeding plate 8 will be discharged from the multiple feeding holes 9 at the bottom, so as to achieve a one-time comprehensive and more uniform feeding of the aquaculture pond, make the feeding amounts of all aquatic animals more uniform, and it is not easy for aquatic animals to snatch food from each other, ensuring the quality of aquatic animals. After the feeding is completed, reverse the output shaft of the drive motor 5, and then the feeding plate 8 will swing in the opposite direction until it is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When it is necessary to feed the aquaculture pond on the other side, reverse the output shaft of the drive motor 5.

[0067] When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the rotating shaft 3 will drive the short shaft 39 to rotate through two meshing transmission gears 44. The short shaft 39 will drive the reel 40 to rotate. The reel 40 will wind the pull rope 41. Since the end of the pull rope 41 is fixed to the bottom of the rectangular frame 1, it will pull the slider 2 to slide downward and stretch the lifting spring 42. The downward-sliding slider 2 will drive the storage barrel 4 and the feeding plate 8 to slide downward, so that the feeding plate 8 is closer to the water surface of the aquaculture pond, reducing the force of the feed floating everywhere and falling into the water, and thus making it not easy for aquatic animals to be frightened.

[0068] After the feeding plate 8 is tilted, the rotating storage barrel 4 drives the vertical rod 19 to swing. The vertical rod 19 drives the driven gear 21 to sweep across the arc-shaped rack 38. The driven gear 21 drives the vertical rod 19 to rotate. The vertical rod 19 drives the cam 20 to rotate. The cam 20 intermittently presses against the side wall of the feeding plate 8. The feeding plate 8 slides horizontally in the strip-shaped opening 7 in the direction away from the cam 20. When the feeding plate 8 is not pressed, the swing spring 18 drives the feeding plate 8 to slide back in the reverse direction. Thus, the continuously rotating cam 20 causes the feeding plate 8 to slide back and forth. Therefore, the feed in the storage barrel 4 slides into the feeding plate 8 more efficiently, preventing the feed from clogging and caking. Moreover, the swinging feeding plate 8 also drives the inner rod 22 to swing in the storage barrel 4. The inner rod 22 breaks up the feed in the storage barrel 4, preventing the feed in the storage barrel 4 from caking.
