[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present invention proposes a residual material recovery device for aquatic feed, which is an auxiliary equipment for modern aquaculture industry and aims to solve the problem of residual materials generated during the feeding process. If these residual materials are not handled in time, they will not only lead to feed waste, but also may dissolve in the water body, affecting the water quality, and thus posing a threat to the health and growth environment of the cultured organisms.

[0022] Structural overview of the residual material recovery device: The residual material recovery device for aquatic feed mainly consists of two core parts: an immersion platform 100 and a recovery mechanism 200. The two parts work together to achieve effective recovery and treatment of residual materials of floating feed on the water surface.

[0023] The submersible platform 100 is the basic supporting structure of the entire device. Its design fully considers the needs of surface operations. The submersible platform 100 is usually made of strong and lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy, plastic, etc. The lower part of the submersible platform 100 is designed with a specific immersion depth (with floating objects) to ensure that it can directly contact the water body, while the upper part of the submersible platform 100 floats on the water surface. The upper part of the submersible platform 100 is provided with two functional areas: a parking room 110 and a power room 120. The parking room 110 is used to park the power boat 240, which is not only convenient for the rapid start and docking of the power boat 240, but also protects the power boat 240 from wind and rain erosion in the non-working state, thereby extending its service life. The power room 120 is used to install the line group recovery component 230 and related control equipment. The power room 120 is relatively high and far away from the water surface, which is conducive to protecting the line group recovery component 230 and related control equipment.

[0024] The recovery mechanism 200 is the core of the residual material recovery device, which mainly includes four parts: a conveyor belt 210, a floating line 220, a line group recovery component 230 and a power boat 240. Each part cooperates closely to complete the collection and sorting tasks of the residual feed. The conveyor belt 210 is arranged obliquely at the lower part of the immersion platform 100. The lower end of the conveyor belt 210 extends into the water, and the upper end is located above the water surface. The surface of the conveyor belt 210 adopts a hydrophobic structure design, which can make water leak away, while leaving the residual feed on the surface of the conveyor belt 210, so as to separate the residual feed for subsequent collection and recycling. The floating line 220 is made of a light and high-strength material and has good floating performance. Under the drag of the power boat 240, the floating line 220 can flexibly move on the water surface to form a closed or semi-closed enclosure structure to surround the residual feed. The line group recovery component 230 is installed in the power compartment 120 and is responsible for controlling the retraction and release of the floating line 220. The line group recovery component 230 is driven mechanically or hydraulically, and can quickly and smoothly reel in the floating line 220 as needed, thereby pulling the enclosed feed residue to the conveyor belt 210. The power boat 240 is a key device for driving the floating line 220 to move. The power boat 240 is docked in the parking room 110, and its moving path and speed on the water surface are controlled by remote control or preset programs. The design of the power boat 240 focuses on flexibility and durability, and can operate stably in complex water environments.

[0025] Working principle and operation process: When the residual material recovery device for aquatic feed is put into use, the immersion platform 100 is first placed at the edge of the fish pond or the farm, and the immersion platform 100 can be fixed by using the pillars on the shore. Then the power boat 240 is started from the parking room 110 and controlled by a remote control device or runs along a preset route. The power boat 240 moves on the water surface according to a preset path, and the power boat 240 drags the floating line 220 to form a moving barrier to enclose the residual feed on the water surface.

[0026] After the power boat 240 stops, the line group recovery component 230 reels the floating line 220, and uses the floating line 220 to pull the encircled feed residue to the lower end of the conveyor belt 210. The conveyor belt 210 is driven by the motor to separate the feed residue from the water. At the end of the conveyor belt 210, a collection container or an automatic sorting system can be set to further process or store the recovered feed residue. At the same time, the hydrophobic structure on the surface of the conveyor belt 210 allows the feed residue to separate water during the transmission process, reducing the water carried.

[0027] The residual material recovery device for aquatic feed can efficiently recover and process the residual material of floating feed on the water surface, and has the following significant technical effects and advantages: 1. Reduce feed waste: Through automated recycling, feed waste in the feeding process is effectively reduced, and feed utilization is improved. 2. Improve water quality: Timely recycling of feed residues avoids water quality deterioration caused by feed dissolving in water, providing a healthier and cleaner growth environment. 3. Improve breeding efficiency: By reducing feed waste and improving water quality, the survival rate and growth rate of aquatic products are indirectly improved, thereby improving breeding efficiency. 4. Environmental protection and energy saving: Reduce environmental pollution. At the same time, by improving feed utilization, carbon emissions in the breeding process are indirectly reduced, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the immersion platform 100 is designed with two parking compartments 110, and the two parking compartments 110 are arranged on both sides of the power compartment 120, so that the structure of the entire device is more compact and the space utilization is optimized. Correspondingly, the recovery mechanism 200 is equipped with two floating lines 220 and two power boats 240. The two power boats 240 correspond to the two parking compartments 110 respectively. Under the traction of the power boats 240, the two floating lines 220 can be driven to move efficiently in the water area to achieve rapid recovery of feed residues. Figure 3 As shown, when the feed residue needs to be recovered, two power boats 240 respectively tow a floating line 220 to move the floating line 220 along a predetermined path to a target position, and the floating line 220 moves on the water surface, thereby bringing the residue on the water surface to the conveyor belt 210.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the wire group recovery assembly 230 includes three key parts: a base 231, a first motor 232, and a wire wheel 233. The base 231 is the main structure of the entire assembly and is firmly fixed to the bottom wall of the power chamber 120, ensuring the stability and reliability of the wire group recovery assembly 230 during operation. The design of the base 231 fully considers the structural strength and installation convenience, so that it can adapt to various complex working environments.

[0030] The line wheel 233 is the core component for winding and releasing the floating line 220. It is rotatably connected to the base 231 and can rotate freely. The surface of the line wheel 233 is designed with special grooves or textures to increase the friction between the floating line 220 and prevent slipping during the winding process. At the same time, the diameter and material of the line wheel 233 are also carefully selected to ensure that it can withstand sufficient tension and wear.

[0031] The first motor 232 is a power source for driving the wire wheel 233 to rotate. The first motor 232 and the wire wheel 233 are connected via a transmission device (such as a gear, a belt, etc.). Figure 4As shown, the first motor 232 is connected to the wire wheel 233 through a synchronous belt, and the transmission precision is high, so as to realize the transmission of power. When the first motor 232 is started, the wire wheel 233 is driven to rotate, so as to realize the winding or release of the floating line 220. The selection of the motor fully considers factors such as power, speed, waterproof performance and durability to ensure that it can meet the use requirements of the wire group recovery component 230.

[0032] Taking into account that the floating line 220 is relatively long and the corresponding axial length of the line wheel 233 is also relatively long, the floating line 220 may become entangled or knotted during winding. The line group recovery component 230 is also provided with a guiding winding mechanism, which drives the floating line 220 to move back and forth along the axial direction of the line wheel 233, thereby realizing orderly control of winding.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the guide winding mechanism of the waste material recovery device includes a second motor 234, a guide wheel 235, a guide piece 236 and a slide bar 237. The second motor 234 is a power source, and the guide wheel 235 is rotatably connected to the base 231, and its axial direction is consistent with the axial direction of the wire wheel 233. The second motor 234 and the guide wheel 235 are driven by a synchronous belt, and other transmission mechanisms (such as gears, belts or chains, etc.) can also be used. When the second motor 234 is started, it can drive the guide wheel 235 to rotate. A guide spiral groove 2351 is provided on the surface of the guide wheel 235, and the guide piece 236 is slidably connected to the slide bar 237 provided on the base 231. The slide bar 237 is parallel to the guide wheel 235, and provides a stable guide for the movement of the guide piece 236. The lower end of the guide piece 236 is inserted into the guide spiral groove 2351. Figure 5 As shown, the guide wheel 235 has two opposite guide spiral grooves 2351, and the two guide spiral grooves 2351 are connected end to end. The guide wheel 235 drives the guide piece 236 to move back and forth in the axial direction by using the guide spiral grooves 2351. At the upper end of the guide piece 236, there is a through hole for limiting the floating line 220. The floating line 220 passes through the through hole and is guided and limited by the guide piece 236, which pushes the floating line 220 to move back and forth along the axial direction of the line wheel 233 when winding. The floating line 220 is wound in an orderly manner to avoid entanglement and knotting, which is convenient for the next use.

[0034] It is understandable that the guiding winding mechanism can adopt various structures, such as using an electric push rod to drive the wire loop to move back and forth along the axial direction of the wire wheel 233, and the floating line 220 passes through the wire loop to achieve orderly winding. Alternatively, the wire loop is fixed, and the wire wheel 233 moves back and forth synchronously with the axial direction when rotating, which can also achieve orderly winding.

[0035] Reference Figure 1As an important part of the waste material recovery device, the power boat 240 is responsible for providing mobility on the water surface. After the task of towing the floating line 220 is completed, the power boat 240 needs to be safely and accurately docked in the parking room 110 for maintenance, charging or waiting for the next task.

[0036] like Figure 7 As shown, the power boat 240 includes a hull 241, a steering gear 242 and a propeller 243, the steering gear 242 and the propeller 243 are arranged at the rear end of the hull 241, the hull 241 has a built-in motor to drive the propeller 243, and provides power for the power boat 240 to move, and the steering gear 242 has a steering plate 2421 to control the moving direction of the power boat 240. The hull 241 is flat, and the front end is set as an upward curved surface to move on the water surface. Hooks 244 are set on both sides of the hull 241 to facilitate towing the floating line 220, especially when two power boats 240 are used, the floating line 220 can be towed on both sides, which is convenient for use.

[0037] A positioning rod 245 is provided on the lower side of the hull 241. The positioning rod 245 is a solid columnar component. When the powerboat 240 is docked, the positioning rod 245 can effectively abut against the edge side wall of the parking chamber 110, accurately define the position of the powerboat 240, and keep the propeller 243 of the powerboat 240 in contact with the water surface, so that the powerboat 240 can leave and be put into use at any time. In addition, the positioning rod 245 can also be wrapped with an anti-collision layer, and the anti-collision layer can be made of soft materials such as sponge and rubber.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the residual material recovery device not only has an efficient material recovery function, but also has intelligent control. A controller is installed in the power chamber 120. The controller is connected to the conveyor belt 210 and the line group recovery component 230 through an electrical connection. According to the amount of feed residual material, the speed of the line group recovery component 230 to reel in the floating line 220 and the running speed of the conveyor belt 210 are controlled to perform precise regulation. A wireless communication connection is adopted between the power boat 240 and the controller. After receiving the command of the controller, the power boat 240 can respond quickly and execute the corresponding mobile task, and has high flexibility.

[0039] In actual applications, the waste material recovery device has extremely high working efficiency and intelligence level. The controller can instantly adjust the speed of the conveyor belt 210, the winding speed and the moving path of the power boat 240 according to the preset program or real-time input instructions, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the entire recovery process.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The immersion platform 100 is provided with a receiving chamber 101 with an opening at the lower end. The conveyor belt 210 is placed inside the receiving chamber 101, which can not only protect the conveyor belt 210 from interference from the external environment, but also accurately define the recovery position of the feed residue, so that the conveyor belt 210 can take away the feed residue. A baffle 130 is designed on the front side of the receiving chamber. The baffle 130 is submerged below the water surface. The upper end of the baffle 130 is connected to an inclined inclined plate 140. The lower end of the inclined plate 140 is accurately positioned just above the lower end of the conveyor belt 210. Such a layout enables the inclined plate 140 to block the water waves brought by the conveyor belt 210. In use, the feed residue is pushed by the floating line 220 to pass over the baffle 130, then enter the receiving chamber 101, and then is taken away from the water surface by the conveyor belt 210 to achieve separation and recovery.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 The conveyor belt 210 is designed with a grid structure. The conveyor belt 210 with a grid structure is composed of a series of interwoven lines, which form a plurality of small holes. The apertures of these small holes are carefully set to be slightly smaller than the size of feed particles. When the conveyor belt 210 is running, the remaining feed will be picked up by the conveyor belt 210, and the water will automatically flow down. Since the aperture of the grid structure is smaller than the feed, the remaining feed can only be taken away by the conveyor belt 210.

[0042] Furthermore, a plurality of branches 211 are arranged in a plurality of rows on the surface of the grid-like structure of the conveyor belt 210. The branches 211 in each row are closely connected, while maintaining a certain distance from the branches 211 in the adjacent row. The distance between two adjacent branches 211 is set to be greater than or equal to 8 mm. The main consideration is that the radius of the feed is usually 3 mm-5 mm. The branches 211 will not affect the residual feed, and the branches 211 can take away the garbage on the water surface (such as plastic bags, branches, leaves, etc.), further improving the function.

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
