Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aquaculture, in particular to a pond feeding machine controlled by sound guidance. Background Art

[0002] As the scale of breeding expands, manual feeding becomes a heavy and inefficient task. The use of pond feeders can free farmers from the heavy feeding work, saving a lot of time and labor costs. Pond feeders can feed according to the pre-set time and feeding amount, ensuring that the breeding objects eat regularly, which is beneficial to their growth and development.

[0003] At present, pond feeders mainly throw feed into ponds from the shore. Since the pond water area is large and the throwing distance of the pond feeder is limited, after the pond feeder throws the feed, the fish find the feed position slowly because the pond feeder lacks the function of guiding the fish to eat. It is easy for the fish to sink into the pond before they find the feed, resulting in some waste of feed. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a pond feeding machine with sound guidance control, which can lure fish to the throwing area through a floating attractant before throwing the feed. At this time, the fish will come to the throwing area before the main body of the feeding machine throws the feed, which can effectively avoid the situation where the feed is wasted due to sinking into the pond.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved in this way:

[0006] A pond feeding machine controlled by sound guidance comprises a feeding machine main body and a floating attractant located within the throwing range of the feeding machine main body;

[0007] The floating attractant includes a housing; a floating air bag is installed at the bottom of the housing; the housing is an annular housing, and a sound wave generator is installed in the central opening of the housing, the sound wave generator is driven by a reciprocating vibration mechanism to vibrate up and down, the sound wave generator sinks under the water surface and generates sound waves to attract fish schools in four directions;

[0008] The sonic generator is turned on / off by the main unit of the feeding machine; after the sonic generator is turned on for a period of time, the main unit of the feeding machine will throw feed into the pond.

[0009] By adopting the above scheme, the pond feeder will lure the fish to the scattering area through the floating attractant before scattering the feed. At this time, the fish will come to the scattering area before the main feeder scatters the feed, which can effectively avoid the waste of feed due to sinking into the pond.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, the reciprocating vibration mechanism includes a vibration motor fixedly mounted above the housing, and an elliptical vibration disk is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the vibration motor;

[0011] The reciprocating vibration mechanism also includes a reference seat fixedly mounted on the upper part of the housing, a guide rod fixedly mounted below the reference seat, a vibration seat slidably mounted on the guide rod, and a spring sleeved on the guide rod for pushing the vibration seat to move upward;

[0012] A vibration rod is connected to the top of the vibration seat, and the vibration rod always contacts the bottom of the vibration plate under the action of a spring.

[0013] The above scheme is adopted to further improve the conduction of sound waves by the sound wave generator. Since the vibration motor drives the vibration disk to rotate at a constant speed, the vibration disk resists the downward movement of the vibration rod, and the spring pushes the vibration rod to reset, thereby realizing the up and down vibration of the sound wave generator. The vibrating sound wave generator will generate water waves, thereby promoting the conduction of sound waves.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided pond feeding machine, the floating airbag is an inflatable airbag; a plurality of pins distributed in a circumferential array and supporting the floating airbag are detachably installed on the bottom of the casing; a counterweight block that maintains a balanced state with the vibration motor is detachably installed on the top of the casing.

[0015] By adopting the above scheme, in order to facilitate the buoyancy airbag at any time, the buoyancy airbag is set as a detachable airbag. When the air pressure in the buoyancy airbag is too low, the buoyancy airbag can be easily removed by disassembling the latch.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, the feeding machine mainframe comprises a frame; a material storage part, a material mixing part and a material throwing part are sequentially installed on the frame from top to bottom.

[0017] By adopting the above scheme, in order to achieve uniform feeding of the main machine of the feeding machine, a material leveling part is arranged below the material storage part, and the material leveling part ensures that the feed falls evenly, thereby avoiding feed blockage.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, the storage part includes a storage box connected to the top of the support leg; a filling port is provided on the top of the storage box, and a box cover is detachably installed at the filling port; a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the storage box, and the bottom of the storage box is tilted and lowered toward the location of the discharge port; a monitoring sensor is installed at the discharge port of the storage box, and the monitoring sensor is located at the center of the discharge port of the storage box.

[0019] By adopting the above scheme, in order to realize the storage of feed, the box cover is opened and the feed is injected into the storage box. Since the bottom of the storage box is tilted and lowered toward the lower feed port, the feed automatically gathers at the lower feed port under the action of gravity, thereby realizing automatic feeding; the feed in the storage box is monitored in real time by the monitoring sensor.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, the mixing part includes a mixing shell connected to the bottom of the feed outlet of the storage box; a mixing impeller is rotatably installed inside the mixing shell, and a motor is fixedly installed outside the mixing shell to drive the mixing impeller to rotate at a constant speed.

[0021] By adopting the above scheme, in order to achieve uniform feeding, the motor 1 drives the mixing impeller to rotate slowly, and the feed falls between the two blades of the mixing impeller. When the feed between the two blades rotates to the bottom of the mixing impeller, the feed automatically falls under the action of gravity.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, the throwing part is divided into two types: an impeller throwing part and a pneumatic throwing part.

[0023] By adopting the above scheme, in order to meet the requirements of throwing materials in different scenarios, the impeller throwing method can throw the feed farther; the pneumatic throwing method can avoid damage to the feed.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, the impeller throwing part includes a throwing shell body, in which a vertically arranged throwing impeller is rotatably installed, and a motor 2 is fixedly installed outside the throwing shell body for driving the throwing impeller to rotate at a uniform speed; an eccentrically arranged feed channel is also connected to the outer side of the throwing shell body, and the feed channel of the throwing shell body is connected to the discharge end of the material mixing shell; a throwing chamber tangential to the circumference of the throwing impeller is opened in the throwing shell body, and the feed in the throwing chamber is hit by the throwing impeller and thrown upward from the outlet of the throwing chamber.

[0025] By adopting the above scheme, in order to achieve throwing at a longer distance, the throwing impeller rotates vertically, and the trajectory of the feed thrown is a parabola, so the feed is thrown farther.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, the pneumatic throwing part includes a throwing shell body II, in which a T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube connected to the discharge end of the material mixing shell body is fixedly installed, one end of the T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube is a throwing port, and the other end of the T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube is connected to a blower.

[0027] In order to avoid damaging the feed, the above scheme is adopted, air is blown to the T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube by a blower, and the feed is thrown out under the action of the airflow, which can avoid damaging the feed.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of a sound-guided controlled pond feeding machine, a controller is also installed on the outside of the storage box; the controller is electrically connected to all electronic components in the floating attractant and the feeding machine host.

[0029] By adopting the above scheme, in order to realize automatic control, the operation of the floating attractant and the feeding machine host is uniformly controlled by the controller, which reduces the input of manpower and improves the working efficiency of the pond feeding machine.

[0030] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] 1. Before throwing the feed, the pond feeder will use a floating attractant to lure the fish to the throwing area. At this time, the fish will come to the throwing area before the main feeder throws the feed, which can effectively avoid the waste of feed due to sinking into the pond;

[0032] 2. In order to further improve the conduction of sound waves by the sound wave generator, the vibration motor drives the vibration plate to rotate at a constant speed, the vibration plate resists the vibration rod to move downward, and the spring pushes the vibration rod to reset, so as to realize the up and down vibration of the sound wave generator. The vibrating sound wave generator will generate water waves, thereby promoting the conduction of sound waves;

[0033] 3. In order to facilitate the buoy airbag at any time, the buoy airbag is set as a detachable airbag. When the air pressure inside the buoy airbag is too low, the buoy airbag can be easily removed by removing the latch.

[0034] 4. In order to achieve uniform feeding, the motor drives the mixing impeller to rotate slowly, and the feed falls between the two blades of the mixing impeller. When the feed between the two blades rotates to the bottom of the mixing impeller, the feed automatically falls under the action of gravity;

[0035] 5. In order to achieve longer distance throwing, the throwing impeller rotates vertically, and the trajectory of the feed thrown is a parabola, so the feed thrown is farther;

[0036] 6. In order to avoid damage to the feed, the blower is used to blow air into the T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube, and the feed is thrown out under the action of the airflow, which can avoid damage to the feed;

[0037] 7. In order to realize automatic control, the operation of the floating attractant and the feeding machine is uniformly controlled by the controller, which reduces the manpower input and improves the working efficiency of the pond feeding machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sound-guided pond feeding machine includes a feeding machine main unit and a floating attractant located within the throwing range of the feeding machine main unit; the floating attractant includes a housing 1; a floating airbag 2 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1; the housing 1 is an annular housing, and a sound wave generator 3 is installed in the central opening of the housing 1, and the sound wave generator 3 is driven by a reciprocating vibration mechanism to vibrate up and down, and the sound wave generator 3 sinks below the water surface and generates sound waves to attract fish in four directions; the sound wave generator 3 is turned on / off by the feeding machine main unit; after the sound wave generator 3 is turned on for a period of time (about 10-20s), the feeding machine main unit throws feed into the pond. Before throwing the feed, the pond feeding machine will use the floating attractant to lure the fish to the throwing area. At this time, the fish will come to the throwing area before the feeding machine main unit throws the feed, which can effectively avoid the situation where the feed is wasted due to sinking into the pond.

[0054] like Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the reciprocating vibration mechanism includes a vibration motor 4 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the housing 1 by screws, and an elliptical vibration disk 5 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the vibration motor 4; the reciprocating vibration mechanism also includes a reference seat 6 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the housing 1 by screws, a guide rod 7 is welded and fixed below the reference seat 6, a vibration seat 8 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 7, and a spring 9 for pushing the vibration seat 8 to move upward is sleeved on the guide rod 7; a vibration rod 10 is welded above the vibration seat 8, and the vibration rod 10 always contacts the bottom of the vibration disk 5 under the action of the spring 9. In order to further enhance the conduction of sound waves by the sound wave generator 3, since the vibration motor 4 drives the vibration disk 5 to rotate at a constant speed, the vibration disk 5 contacts the vibration rod 10 to move downward, and the spring 9 pushes the vibration rod 10 to reset, thereby realizing the up and down vibration of the sound wave generator 3, and the vibrating sound wave generator 3 will generate water waves, thereby promoting the conduction of sound waves.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the floating airbag 2 is an inflatable airbag; a plurality of latches 11 distributed in a circumferential array and supporting the floating airbag 2 are installed at the bottom of the housing 1 in a plug-in and detachable manner; a counterweight 12 is detachably installed on the top of the housing 1 by screws to maintain a balanced state with the vibration motor 4. In order to facilitate the floating airbag 2 at any time, the floating airbag 2 is set as a detachable airbag. When the air pressure in the floating airbag 2 is too low, the floating airbag 2 can be easily removed by removing the latch 11.

[0056] like Figures 3 to 9 As shown, the feeding machine mainframe includes a frame 13; a storage part, a material mixing part and an impeller throwing part are sequentially installed on the frame 13 from top to bottom. In order to achieve uniform feeding of the feeding machine mainframe, a material mixing part is arranged below the material storage part, and the material mixing part ensures that the feed falls evenly, thereby avoiding feed blockage.

[0057] like Figures 3 to 9 As shown, the storage part includes a storage box 14 connected to the top of the support leg by screws; a filling port is provided at the top of the storage box 14, and a box cover 15 is detachably installed at the filling port by snapping; a feeding port is provided at the bottom of the storage box 14, and the bottom of the storage box 14 is tilted and lowered toward the location of the feeding port; a monitoring sensor 16 is installed at the feeding port of the storage box 14, wherein the monitoring sensor 16 is an infrared sensor or a weight sensor, and the monitoring sensor 16 is located at the center of the feeding port of the storage box 14. In order to store feed, the box cover 15 is opened to inject feed into the storage box 14. Since the bottom of the storage box 14 is tilted and lowered toward the location of the feeding port, the feed automatically gathers at the location of the feeding port under the action of gravity, thereby realizing automatic feeding; wherein the feed in the storage box 14 is monitored in real time by the monitoring sensor 16.

[0058] like Figures 3 to 9As shown, the material mixing part includes a material mixing housing 17 connected to the bottom of the feeding port of the material storage box 14 by screws; a material mixing impeller 18 is rotatably installed inside the material mixing housing 17, and a motor 19 for driving the material mixing impeller 18 to rotate at a constant speed is fixedly installed on the outside of the material mixing housing 17 by screws. In order to achieve uniform feeding, the material mixing impeller 18 is driven by the motor 19 to rotate slowly, and the feed falls between the two blades of the material mixing impeller 18. When the feed between the two blades rotates to the bottom of the material mixing impeller 18, the feed automatically falls under the action of gravity.

[0059] like Figures 3 to 9 As shown, the impeller throwing part includes a throwing shell 20, in which a vertically arranged throwing impeller 21 is rotatably installed, and a motor 22 for driving the throwing impeller 21 to rotate at a uniform speed is fixedly installed on the outside of the throwing shell 20 by screws; an eccentrically arranged feed channel 23 is welded on the outside of the throwing shell 20, and the feed channel 23 of the throwing shell 20 is connected to the discharge end of the material mixing shell 17; a throwing chamber 24 tangential to the throwing impeller 21 is provided in the throwing shell 20, and the feed in the throwing chamber 24 is hit by the throwing impeller 21 and thrown upward from the outlet of the throwing chamber 24. In order to achieve throwing at a longer distance, the throwing impeller 21 rotates vertically, and the trajectory of the feed thrown is a parabola, so the feed thrown at the throwing place is farther.

[0060] like Figures 3 to 9 As shown, a controller is also installed outside the storage box 14, wherein the controller is a single chip microcomputer; the controller is electrically connected to all electronic components in the floating attractant and the feeding machine host. In order to realize automatic control, the operation of the floating attractant and the feeding machine host is uniformly controlled by the controller, which reduces the input of manpower and improves the working efficiency of the pond feeding machine.

[0061] Working principle of the present invention:

[0062] When in use, the controller starts the floating attractant, and the sound wave generator 3 emits sound waves to attract fish. This process lasts for about 10-20 seconds. At the same time, the vibration motor 4 drives the vibration disk 5 to rotate at a constant speed, and the vibration disk 5 resists the vibration rod 10 to move downward, and the spring 9 pushes the vibration rod 10 to reset, thereby realizing the up and down vibration of the sound wave generator 3. The vibrating sound wave generator 3 will generate water waves, thereby promoting the conduction of sound waves, and the fish will come to the throwing area before the feeding machine main engine throws.

[0063] Subsequently, the feeding machine main engine starts throwing the feed, and the feed in the storage box 14 enters between the two blades of the mixing impeller 18 under the action of gravity. When the feed between the two blades rotates to below the mixing impeller 18, the feed automatically falls under the action of gravity; then the feed is transported to the feed channel 23 along the variable diameter feed cylinder, and the feed enters the throwing impeller 21 from the eccentric feed channel 23. Driven by the motor 22, the throwing impeller 21 rotates at a high speed to throw the feed upwards. The trajectory of the thrown feed is a parabola, so the feed is thrown farther, and the entire throwing distance can be up to more than ten meters.

[0064] Embodiment 2, as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, on the basis of the first embodiment, the impeller throwing part is replaced by a pneumatic throwing part. The pneumatic throwing part includes a throwing shell 25, in which a T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube 26 connected to the discharge end of the material mixing shell 17 is inserted and fixedly installed. One end of the T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube 26 is a throwing port, and the other end of the T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube 26 is connected to the blower. The blower blows air into the T-shaped pneumatic throwing tube 26, and the feed is thrown out under the action of the airflow, which can avoid damage to the feed.

[0065] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
