The propulsion device includes a propeller 5 and an impeller 7, powered by a battery assembly 19 on the hull 1. A main controller 8 is mounted on the hull 1, electrically connected to the feeding device, the auger conveyor assembly 10, and the propulsion device. The main controller 8 also includes a control terminal, whose signals are connected to the main controller 8. A storage box 3 is also located on the top of the hull 1.

The feed is stirred, dispersed, mixed, etc. through high-speed rotation. Normally, the paddle 11 is provided with a first blade 110 and a second blade 111 arranged alternately, and the installation inclination angle of the first blade 110 is smaller than the installation inclination angle of the second blade 111.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first throwing mechanism 16 has a first mounting seat and a spiral tube 18. The spiral tube 18 is rotatably mounted in the receiving groove of the first mounting seat. A small motor 17 is fixed on the first mounting seat. The output shaft of the small motor 17 is connected to the spiral tube 18 in a transmission manner. A fixed feeding port is provided at one end of the receiving groove away from the small motor 17. The small motor 17 is also powered by a battery pack 19 to drive the spiral tube 18. The spiral tube 18 can stir and disperse the feed and send it to the fixed feeding port. The fixed feeding port feeds the Macrobrachium rosenbergii shrimp at a fixed point under the control of the main controller 8.

[0028] In a further embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, hull 1 is also equipped with solar panels 2, which are fixed via brackets and connected to battery pack 19 via cables to charge the batteries. Battery pack 19 provides power to main controller 8, various motors, propulsion system, and underwater camera 20. This structure allows for a supplementary power source and improves endurance.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the hull 1 described in this embodiment; the impellers 7 are arranged on both sides of the tail of the hull 1; the propeller 5 is arranged on the rear side of the hull 1; the main controller 8 controls the impeller 7 and the hull 1 to ensure the stability of the hull 1 and avoid capsizing; the propeller 5 adopts a double structure to increase the movement speed of the hull 1 and further increase the stability of the hull 1.

[0030] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of simple structure and high degree of mechanization. The truss structure of the hull 1 makes it convenient to move the throwing equipment to different groups of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, which is convenient and quick. The feeding boat has a second throwing mechanism 12 and a first throwing mechanism 16. The "V"-shaped storage bin 4 can change the amount of feed thrown each time, realizing precise control of the feed feeding amount. The feed is transported to the second throwing mechanism 12 through the auger conveying assembly 10. The second throwing mechanism 12 can throw the feed to be fed at high speed along with the paddle 11 through the gear set 15. When the special structure of the paddle 11 rotates at high speed, the feed can be evenly scattered over a large area under the action of centrifugal force, realizing uniform feeding of the feed, reducing feed waste, improving feeding efficiency, and reducing the feed coefficient.
