[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the fixed platform is provided with a groove for fixing the movable structure.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This intelligent feeding device for marine ranching, through a feed bin structure and a feeding structure, allows the mounting frame to move freely on the frame structure via four pulleys during the feeding process. The gravity controller of the feed bin drives the folding plate to fold between the fixed rods, allowing the fish food inside the feed bin to fall into the feeding device. At this time, the direction of feeding can be controlled by rotating the turntable. The two push cylinders can be driven simultaneously to extend and retract the head of the second corrugated pipe, which can adjust the feeding depth. With the setting of a flow rate measuring instrument and a monitor, the living conditions of the fish can be monitored, and the feeding position, direction and amount can be controlled according to the measured water flow speed and direction to achieve the purpose of precise feeding. When the water flow speed is too fast, in order to prevent the fish food from being washed away by the water flow, the amount of fish food can be reduced and the feeding can be slowed down and intermittently fed. When the water flow speed is too slow, the amount of fish food can be increased, and the fish food can be accelerated by its own weight, so that the fish food can accurately reach the feeding location.
[0017] 2. This intelligent feeding device for marine ranching, through a typhoon-resistant structure, allows the mounting frame to be driven to the bend of the frame structure during typhoon weather. At this time, the mounting frame moves to the top of the fixed platform and is fixed. Driven by the threaded rod, its output shaft can rotate the threaded rod. Due to the limiting rods on both sides, the threaded plate can drive the fixed platform to move horizontally downward on the outer surface of the threaded rod. This allows the fixed platform to drive the moving structure to descend outside the net cage, thereby preventing damage to the moving structure, hopper structure, and feeding structure by typhoons and improving the service life of the device.
[0018] 3. This intelligent feeding device for marine ranching has many benefits, including real-time monitoring of feeding through a feeding bin and a monitor installed inside the feeding bin, preventing feed waste and spoilage, improving aquaculture efficiency and management level, timely detection and handling of faults, and promoting intelligent aquaculture.
[0019] 4. This intelligent feeding device for marine ranching monitors fish schools and fish food consumption through a monitor, allowing the mobile structure to move to the required location. It also monitors the water flow velocity and direction through a flow velocity meter, automatically adjusting the feeding direction and depth to achieve precise feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Please see Figure 1-9 A smart feeding device for marine ranching includes a mobile structure 1 and a typhoon-resistant structure 2, mounted on a frame structure. The mobile structure 1 includes a mounting frame 101, with a horizontal plate 103 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 101 and four pulleys 102 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 101. A feed hopper structure 3 is provided inside the horizontal plate 103, and a feeding structure 4 is provided inside the mounting frame 101. The feed hopper structure 3 includes a feeding bin 31, with fixed rods 32 fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom of the feeding bin 31. A folding plate 33 is hinged between two fixed rods 32. A monitor and a controller are provided inside the feeding bin 31. The feeding structure 4 includes a fixed plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101. A fixed ring 42 is fixedly mounted on one side of the fixed plate 41, and a feeding device 43 is fixedly mounted inside the fixed ring 42. A turntable 45 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the feeding device 43. A feeding pipe 46 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 45. A second corrugated pipe 47 is fixedly mounted on one side of the feeding pipe 46. A hoop 48 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the head of the second corrugated pipe 47. Side rings 49 are mounted on both sides of the outer surface of the hoop 48. A monitor 411 is fixedly mounted inside the upper side ring 49. A flow rate measuring instrument 410 is fixedly mounted inside the lower side ring 49. Side blocks 412 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the outer surface of the hoop 48. An extension plate 413 is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer surface of the turntable 45. A second connecting rod 414 is fixedly mounted below the extension plate 413. Mounting plates 415 are fixedly mounted on both sides below the second connecting rod 414. Push cylinders 416 are fixedly mounted inside the two mounting plates 415. One end of the telescopic rod of the two push cylinders 416 is fixedly connected to the side block 412.
[0032] Please see Figure 3-6 Two first reinforcing plates 104 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the mounting frame 101, and two reinforcing rods 105 are fixedly installed below the horizontal plate 103. One end of the two reinforcing rods 105 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101. A first corrugated pipe 44 is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding device 43. One end of the first corrugated pipe 44 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 103, covering the folding plate 33 inside it.
[0033] The strength of the mounting frame 101 is increased and the support of the device is enhanced by the two first reinforcing plates 104 and the two reinforcing rods 105. The opening of the feeding device 43 and the opening of the feeding bin 31 are covered by the first corrugated pipe 44 to prevent water from seeping into the device when it is lowered or when it is exposed to wind and rain.
[0034] Please see Figure 8-9 The typhoon-resistant structure 2 is erected at the bend of the frame structure. The typhoon-resistant structure 2 includes a connecting plate 21 and a base plate 24. Waterproof plates 22 are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the connecting plate 21, and limit rods 23 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower part of the connecting plate 21. The two limit rods 23 are fixedly connected to the base plate 24, and a motor 25 is fixedly installed inside the connecting plate 21. A threaded rod 26 is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the motor 25, and the threaded rod 26 is rotatably connected to the base plate 24. A threaded plate 27 is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded rod 26, and the threaded plate 27 is movably connected to the limit rods 23. Two first connecting rods 28 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the threaded plate 27, and a fixed platform 29 is fixedly installed on the top of the two first connecting rods 28. The top of the fixed platform 29 is provided with a groove for fixing the movable structure 1.
[0035] When encountering typhoon weather, the mounting frame 101 is driven to the bend of the frame structure. At this time, the mounting frame 101 moves to the top of the fixed platform 29 and is fixed. Through the drive of the threaded rod 26, its output shaft can drive the threaded rod 26 to rotate. Due to the limitation of the limit rods 23 on both sides, the threaded plate 27 can drive the fixed platform 29 to move horizontally downward on the outer surface of the threaded rod 26. This allows the fixed platform 29 to drive the moving structure 1 to descend into the cage, thereby preventing the typhoon from damaging the moving structure 1, the hopper structure 3, and the feeding structure 4.
[0036] Working principle: When a marine ranch intelligent feeding device is used, the mounting frame 101 can move freely on the frame structure via four pulleys 102. During feeding, the gravity controller of the feeding bin 31 drives the folding plate 33 to fold between the fixed rods 32, causing the fish food inside the feeding bin 31 to fall into the feeding device 43. At this time, the direction of feeding can be controlled by rotating the turntable 45. The two push cylinders 416 can be driven simultaneously to extend and retract the head of the second corrugated pipe 47, adjusting the feeding depth. With the setting of the flow rate measuring instrument 410 and the monitor 411, the living conditions of the fish can be monitored, and the feeding position, direction, and amount can be controlled according to the measured water flow velocity and direction to achieve precise feeding. When the water flow velocity is too fast, in order to prevent the fish food from being washed away by the water flow, the amount of fish food can be reduced and feeding can be slow and indirect. When the flow rate is too slow, the amount of fish food can be increased to accelerate the flow and ensure that the fish food reaches the feeding location accurately. In the event of a typhoon, the mounting frame 101 is driven to the bend of the frame structure. At this time, the mounting frame 101 moves to the top of the fixed platform 29 and is fixed. Through the drive of the threaded rod 26, its output shaft can drive the threaded rod 26 to rotate. Due to the limiting of the limit rods 23 on both sides, the threaded plate 27 can drive the fixed platform 29 to move horizontally downward on the outer surface of the threaded rod 26. This allows the fixed platform 29 to drive the moving structure 1 to descend outside the net cage, thus preventing damage to the moving structure 1, the feed bin structure 3, and the feeding structure 4 by the typhoon. Finally, through the monitor installed inside the feed bin 31, the feeding situation can be monitored in real time, preventing feed waste and spoilage, improving breeding efficiency and management level, timely detection and handling of faults, and promoting intelligent breeding, among other benefits.
