Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of marine automatic feeding systems, and in particular, to a snorkeling-type marine ranch automatic feeding system and a feeding method. Background Art
[0002] When conducting large-scale and diversified aquaculture in the ocean, since a variety of economically important marine organisms released artificially coexist in the same water area, the food in this water area becomes scarce. If artificial feeding is not carried out, it will seriously affect the survival and growth of various marine economic organisms, resulting in significant economic losses.
[0003] However, artificial feeding is restricted by many factors, such as weather and tides, which greatly restricts the timeliness of artificial feeding. Moreover, during artificial feeding, in addition to having a heavy labor intensity, there are inevitably safety risks, and at the same time, there are relatively high economic costs.
[0004] In order to reduce the burden on staff, protect safety, reduce relevant labor costs, and obtain more economic benefits, it is urgent to promote the industrialization and intelligentization of marine ranches. To solve the above problems, existing technicians have developed automated feeding systems, such as:
[0005] Patent Publication No.: CN113349138B, Invention Title: A Marine Ranch Automatic Feeding System, A Snorkeling-Type Marine Ranch Automatic Feeding System; including: a floating base, a bottom feeding box is connected to the floating base, a top feeding box is arranged on the top of the bottom feeding box, the bottom of the top feeding box is connected inside the bottom feeding box, a feed storage box is arranged on the top of the top feeding box, and a mobile drive assembly is installed on the floating base.
[0006] Its main feature is that by means of a rotating feeding control component, the feed is blocked by the top feeding box and the bottom feeding box in turn and will not be directly put into the sea water, thereby reducing the falling speed of the feed and preventing uneven feed placement.
[0007] However, the above feeding system cannot meet the aquaculture needs of large-scale marine ranches; it cannot carry out diversified aquaculture. Specifically:
[0008] ① After the stored feed is exhausted, the above feeding system needs to pause the device for mixing, thus reducing the efficiency of the entire feeding process.
[0009] ② In the context of large-scale and diversified aquaculture, various marine economic organisms will live in different water layers of the same water area. When feeding on the sea surface, the marine products in the lower water layer will greatly squeeze the feeding space of the marine products in the upper water layer, and it is difficult to take care of all.
[0010] ③ The feeding accuracy of the above system is relatively low, and it has certain limitations in use. Summary of the Invention
[0011] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a snorkeling type automatic feeding system and feeding method for marine ranches. Through scientific structural design, a feeding method of corresponding different depths by controlling the buoyancy value is adopted, optimizing the feeding space levels of multiple species, greatly increasing the survival rate of multiple species. At the same time, a structure with multiple feed boxes coexisting is adopted to solve the deficiency of unable to continuously feed without interruption, which is suitable for popularization.
[0012] In the first aspect, a snorkeling type automatic feeding system for marine ranches includes: a box structure and a snorkeling device. A central control device is connected to the snorkeling device, and a feeding device and a power device are connected to the central control device;

Among them: the large floating chamber is installed directly below the center of the connecting bracket, and the small floating chambers are symmetrically arranged below the four sides of the connecting bracket;
[0015] The inside of the connecting bracket is a hollow structure, serving as an integrated connecting pipe, with an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe built in. One end of the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe is connected to the gas storage cylinder built in the central control device, and the other end of the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe is connected to the large floating chamber and the small floating chambers;
[0016] Its outside is a steel structure for connecting the large floating chamber and the four small floating chambers downward and connecting the central control device upward, playing a role of stable support as a whole;
[0017] The top of the large floating chamber is provided with an air inlet valve and an air outlet valve; four electric control water inlet valves and electric control water outlet valves are symmetrically arranged at positions near the bottom on the side;
[0018] The top of the small floating chamber is provided with an air inlet valve and an air outlet valve; an electric control water inlet valve and an electric control water outlet valve are arranged at positions near the bottom on the side;
[0019] The central control device includes: a central control box, a central control system and a gas storage cylinder. The central control system and the gas storage cylinder are arranged inside the central control box. The central control system is electrically connected to the feeding device, the power device and the snorkeling device to realize the control of the entire snorkeling type automatic feeding system for marine ranches;
[0020] The feeding device includes: a feed box and a feed delivery pipe. An electric control valve is installed at the delivery port of the feed delivery pipe for controlling the feeding of the feed, and the feed box and the feed delivery pipe are communicated with each other;
[0021] The power device includes: a propeller, a propeller guard, a propeller drive rod, a sealing device, a power supply system, a motor loading platform, and a servo motor.
[0022] As an example, the main structure is an irregular dodecagonal box structure. The feed delivery pipe of the feeding device, and the propeller and propeller guard of the power device are placed outside; the feed box of the feeding device, and the power supply system, motor loading platform, servo motor, propeller drive rod, and sealing device of the power device are placed inside.
[0023] As an example, the buckle includes: a buckle rod, a buckle switch, and a spring. When the buckle switch is opened upward, the spring stretches, causing the buckle rod to leave the barb structure, and the top cover can be opened. Conversely, it can be closed.
[0024] As an example, a sealing ring is provided around the top cover, which covers directly above the main structure. Six buckles are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the main structure and can be buckled to the barb structure of the top cover to further press the top cover and play a sealing role.
[0025] As an example, the top cover handle is selected to conform to the human grasping structure, enabling the staff to better open the top cover for feed filling and maintenance and repair of the internal structure.
[0026] As an example, the number of small floating pods is four, and the number of large floating pods is one.
[0027] As an example, the internal capacity of the large floating pod is larger than that of the small floating pod, which is used to provide the main buoyancy to stabilize the main structure.
[0028] As an example, the internal capacity of the small floating pod is smaller than that of the large floating pod, which is used to provide balanced buoyancy to assist the large floating pod in stabilizing the main structure; by adjusting the intake, exhaust, intake of water, and discharge of water of the small floating pod, the movement form of the submersible ocean ranch feeding system underwater can be effectively adjusted.
[0029] As an example, the electrical signal connection includes: wire connection, Bluetooth connection, and wireless communication connection.
[0030] As an example, control box doors one and two are symmetrically arranged in the front and back of the control box. The control box doors one and two have the same structure and are both provided with door rotary locks.
[0031] As an example, the door rotary lock includes: a door lock catch, a door lock rack, a door lock gear, and a door lock rotary switch, where: sealing rings are provided at the door frames and the rotary switches of the first control box door and the second control box door; two door lock racks are respectively engaged with the upper and lower ends of the door lock gear, and the door lock gear is connected to the door lock rotary switch outside the door through a through hole.
[0032] As an example, the feed box is in the shape of a vertical cylinder structure, and the feed delivery pipe is in the shape of a rod with holes on all sides, which can evenly distribute the feed around underwater to prevent the blockage of the feed.
[0033] As an example, the number of the feed boxes is six, and six feed delivery pipes are externally connected. One to six kinds of feeds can be stored, and appropriate feeds can be put into marine economic organisms at different water layers to avoid waste, improve the feeding accuracy, and have universality for large-scale and diversified farming.
[0034] As an example, three propellers are evenly installed on the outer side of the main body structure at an angle of 120°. Each propeller is remotely controlled by the central control system, so that the automatic feeding system of the snorkeling type marine ranch has various working forms, different driving speeds on the water and underwater, and a working state of overall rotary feeding.
[0035] In the second aspect, an automatic feeding method for a snorkeling type marine ranch includes:
[0036] Step 1: Control the snorkeling device through the central control device to adjust to different buoyancy values;
[0037] Through the central control system, remotely control the air intake and exhaust processes of the large floating chamber and the small floating chamber, so that the automatic feeding system of the snorkeling type marine ranch can perform snorkeling operations up and down at different depths of the water layer.
[0038] As an example, water layers at different depths are suitable for various environments, and feeding in layers can meet the needs of diversified farming.
[0039] As an example, the electric control water inlet valve and the electric control water outlet valve can also be cooperated to control the water inflow and outflow of the large floating chamber and the small floating chamber, and adjust the size of the buoyancy value.
[0040] Step 2: Control the power device through the central control device to adjust different driving directions;
[0041] After the servo motor is started, it is transmitted to the propeller through the propeller transmission rod to provide power for the automatic feeding system of the snorkeling type marine ranch, so that it can move freely when operating on the water or underwater.
[0042] As an example, a propeller guard is installed outside the main structure to protect the nearby economic marine organisms from being harmed when the propeller is working, and at the same time protect the propeller from being damaged, reducing the maintenance cost.
[0043] Step 3: The central control device controls the feeding operation of the feeding device;
[0044] The electric control valve of the feed box is opened through the central control system, and the feed is quickly put into the target water layer through the feed delivery pipe;
[0045] As an example, a fish attracting lamp, a searchlight, a sonar device, and a micro camera are arranged on the bottom surface of the main structure or the upper surface of the central control box to further attract fish to feed, accelerate the feeding rate, and at the same time detect the position of the fish school, so that when continuous feeding operation is carried out, the power device can be quickly maneuvered to the target position;
[0046] With the assistance of the searchlight, the micro camera can better observe the feeding situation and growth status of various fish schools underwater, obtain more information and transmit it back to the terminal, and the staff can optimize the breeding plan through the reliable data obtained through this way, increasing the economic benefits of breeding.
[0047] As an example, the feed box is provided with a feed level sensor for sensing the amount of feed, which is convenient for timely replenishment.
[0048] Step 4: The inspection and replacement operation of the gas storage cylinder of the central control device;
[0049] The operator rotates the door rotation switch counterclockwise from the outside to open the first central control box door or the second central control box door to complete the inspection and gas storage cylinder replacement operation;
[0050] The operator rotates the door rotation switch clockwise from the outside, and the door lock rack will be driven and inserted into the door lock catches near the inner wall of the central control box at the door frame smoothly to the left and right directions respectively, realizing the locking and sealing of the central control box.
[0051] Step 5: Feed addition operation;
[0052] When one or more feed boxes are short of feed, open the top cover, take out the corresponding feed box, and add feed, without pausing the entire automatic feeding system of the snorkeling ocean ranch, so that the feeding operation continues without interruption.
[0053] In a third aspect, the present application shows a remote terminal, the terminal includes: a processor and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor; wherein, the processor is configured to execute the operation of controlling the central control system.
[0054] In a fourth aspect, the present application illustrates a non-temporary computer-readable storage medium, which, when instructions in the storage medium are executed by a processor of a remote terminal, enables the remote terminal to perform operations to control the central control system.
[0055] In a fifth aspect, the present application illustrates a computer program product, which, when instructions in the computer program product are executed by a processor of a remote terminal, enables the remote terminal to perform operations of controlling a central control system.
[0056] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0057] In the field of marine ranching feeding technology, most of the existing technical solutions are fixed-point feeding systems, or feeding systems that float on the sea surface and use various devices to scatter feed into the surrounding area, which slowly sinks to the sea surface. The above technical solutions not only cause a lot of waste, increase feeding costs, and reduce feeding accuracy, but also have low feeding efficiency.
[0058] Compared with the above technical solutions, the present invention can control the snorkeling device and the power device by remotely issuing instructions to the central control device, so that the present invention can float up and down freely underwater, rotate itself, move over a large range, and operate in different water layers, thus effectively avoiding the influence of wind and waves on the sea surface.
[0059] The feeding device of the present invention can store and release one to six kinds of feed, can feed a variety of economic marine organisms underwater at the same time, can reduce feed waste, reduce costs, improve feeding accuracy, and has high feeding efficiency.
[0060] The present invention can also be equipped with fish-attracting lights, searchlights, sonar equipment, miniature cameras and other equipment to attract fish to feed and speed up the feeding rate. At the same time, it can detect the positions of various economic marine biological groups, observe the feeding and growth conditions of various economic marine biological species underwater, obtain more information and transmit it back to the terminal. The staff can formulate phased targeted plans based on the actual growth conditions, shorten the breeding cycle, greatly reduce the breeding costs, and increase economic benefits.
[0061] In the future, marine ranching will surely develop towards intelligence and smartness. It will need to expand the scale of aquaculture and carry out diversified aquaculture, not limited to one type of economic marine organisms. Under this development trend, traditional feeding technology can no longer meet the needs of feeding efficiency and feeding accuracy. In addition, the estimation of costs and economic benefits will accelerate the updating and iteration of products. The present invention improves the feeding efficiency and feeding accuracy in principle, and promotes the transformation and upgrading of marine ranching towards industrialization and intelligence.

[0085] As an example, the buckle includes: a buckle rod 30, a buckle switch 31, and a spring. When the buckle switch 31 is opened upward, the spring 29 extends, causing the buckle rod 30 to leave the barb structure, and the top cover 1 can be opened. Conversely, it is closed.
[0086] As an example, a sealing ring is provided around the top cover 1, which covers directly above the main structure 3. Six buckles are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the main structure 3 and can be buckled to the barb structure of the top cover 1 to further press the top cover 1 and play a sealing role.
[0087] As an example, the top cover handle 2 is selected to conform to the human grasping structure, enabling the staff to better open the top cover 1 for filling the feed and maintaining and repairing the internal structure.
[0088] As an example, the number of small floating chambers 21 is four, and the number of large floating chambers 20 is one.
[0089] As an example, the internal capacity of the large floating chamber 20 is larger than that of the small floating chamber 21, which is used to provide the main buoyancy to stabilize the main structure.
[0090] As an example, the internal capacity of the small floating chamber 21 is smaller than that of the large floating chamber 20, which is used to provide balanced buoyancy to assist the large floating chamber 20 in stabilizing the main structure 3; by adjusting the intake, exhaust, water intake, and water discharge of the small floating chamber 21, the movement form of the floating and diving type marine ranch feeding system underwater can be effectively adjusted.
[0091] As an example, the electrical signal connection includes: wire connection, Bluetooth connection, and wireless communication connection.
[0092] As an example, the central control box is symmetrically provided with a first central control box door 14 and a second central control box door 15 at the front and back. The first central control box door 14 and the second central control box door 15 have the same structure and are both provided with door rotary locks.
[0093] As an example, the door rotary lock includes: a door lock catch 28, a door lock rack 27, a door lock gear 18, and a door lock rotary switch 17. Among them: sealing rings are provided at the door frame and the rotary switch of the first central control box door 14 and the second central control box door 15; two door lock racks are respectively engaged with the upper and lower ends of the door lock gear, and the door lock gear is connected to the door lock rotary switch outside the door through a through hole.
[0094] As an example, the feed box 4 is in the shape of a vertical cylinder structure, and the feed delivery pipe 12 is a rod-shaped structure with holes on all sides, which can evenly put the feed around underwater to prevent the blockage of the feed.
[0095] As an example, the number of the feed boxes 4 is six, and six feed delivery pipes 12 are externally connected. One to six kinds of feeds can be stored, and appropriate feeds can be put for marine economic organisms at different water layers, avoiding waste, improving the feeding accuracy, and having universality for large-scale diversified breeding.
[0096] As an example, three propellers 10 are evenly installed on the outer side of the main body structure 3 at an angle of 120°. Each propeller 10 is remotely controlled by the central control system, so that the automatic feeding system of the snorkeling type marine ranch has various working forms, different driving speeds on the water and underwater, and a working state of overall rotary feeding.
[0097] In the second aspect, an automatic feeding method for a snorkeling type marine ranch includes:
[0098] Step 1: Control the snorkeling device through the central control device to achieve the adjustment of different buoyancy values;
[0099] Through the central control system, remotely control the air intake and air outlet processes of the large floating chamber 20 and the small floating chamber 21, so that the automatic feeding system of the snorkeling type marine ranch can snorkel up and down at different depths of water layers;
[0100] As an example, water layers of different depths are applicable to various environments, and layered feeding can meet the needs of diversified breeding.
[0101] As an example, the electric control water inlet valve 24 and the electric control water outlet valve 25 can also be cooperated at the same time to control the water inflow and water outflow of the large floating chamber 20 and the small floating chamber 21, and adjust the size of the buoyancy value.
[0102] Step 2: Control the power device through the central control device to adjust different driving directions;
[0103] After the servo motor 7 starts, it is transmitted to the propeller 10 through the propeller drive rod 8, providing power for the snorkeling type marine ranch automatic feeding system, enabling it to move freely when operating on or under water;
[0104] As an example, a propeller protection cover 11 is installed outside the main structure 3 to protect the propeller 10 from causing harm to nearby economic marine organisms during operation, while protecting the propeller 10 from being damaged and reducing maintenance costs.
[0105] Step Three: The central control device controls the feeding operation of the feeding device;
[0106] The electric control valve of the feed box 4 is opened through the central control system, and the feed is quickly put into the target water layer through the feed delivery pipe 12;
[0107] As an example, fishing lights, searchlights, sonar devices, and micro cameras are arranged on the bottom surface of the main structure 3 or the upper surface of the central control box, further attracting fish to feed, accelerating the feeding rate, and simultaneously detecting the position of the fish school, so as to control the power device to quickly maneuver to the target position during continuous feeding operations;
[0108] With the assistance of the searchlight, the micro camera can better observe the feeding and growth conditions of various fish schools underwater, obtain more information and transmit it back to the terminal. Staff can optimize the breeding plan through the reliable data obtained through this channel, increasing the economic benefits of breeding.
[0109] As an example, the feed box 4 is provided with a feed level sensor for sensing the amount of feed, facilitating timely replenishment.
[0110] Step Four: Inspection and replacement operation of the storage gas cylinder by the central control device;
[0111] The operator rotates the door rotary switch 17 counterclockwise from the outside to open the first central control box door 14 or the second central control box door 15 to complete the inspection and storage gas cylinder replacement operation;
[0112] When the operator rotates the door rotary switch clockwise from the outside, the door lock rack 27 will be driven and inserted smoothly into the door lock catches 28 near the door frame on the inner wall of the central control box to the left and right respectively, realizing the locking and sealing of the central control box.
[0113] Step Five: Feed addition operation;
[0114] When one or more feed boxes 4 are short of feed, open the top cover 1, take out the corresponding feed box 4, and add feed, without pausing the entire snorkeling type marine ranch automatic feeding system, so that the feeding operation continues without interruption.
[0115] In a third aspect, the present application discloses a remote terminal, which includes: a processor and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions; wherein, the processor is configured to execute operations for controlling a central control system.
[0116] In a fourth aspect, the present application discloses a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, which when the instructions in the storage medium are executed by a processor of a remote terminal, enables the remote terminal to execute operations for controlling a central control system.
[0117] In a fifth aspect, the present application discloses a computer program product, which when the instructions in the computer program product are executed by a processor of a remote terminal, enables the remote terminal to execute operations for controlling a central control system.
[0118] To better illustrate the design principle of the present invention, it is briefly summarized again as follows:
[0119] An operator can remotely control the snorkeling-type marine ranch automatic feeding system from a terminal through a central control device, enabling it to perform up-and-down snorkeling underwater through a snorkeling device and operate at different water layers; it can also move freely underwater through a power device, and adjusting the power of three propellers respectively can achieve a rotating function, which is more conducive to the diffusion and feeding of feed; the feeding device can also perform feeding operations under control, can load one to six different types of feed, drive to the corresponding target water area, and accurately feed the target fish population. It can also be equipped with devices such as fish-attracting lights, searchlights, sonar devices, and micro cameras to further attract fish to feed, accelerate the feeding rate, and at the same time detect the position of the fish population, observe the feeding and growth conditions of various fish populations underwater, obtain more information and transmit it back to the terminal, formulate phased targeted plans according to the actual growth conditions, greatly compress the breeding cost, and increase the economic benefits. It can abandon the time-consuming and laborious traditional breeding method of marine ranches, promote the transformation and upgrading of marine ranches to industrialization and intelligence, and play a crucial role in expanding the breeding scale and diversifying the breeding of marine ranches. Various air pipes and lines are connected to the snorkeling system through an integrated connection pipe at the bottom and to the feeding device and power device at the top to achieve control of the entire snorkeling-type marine ranch automatic feeding system.
[0120] In the context of diversified and intelligent aquaculture in the future, traditional technical solutions are mostly to throw feed from the sea surface, and feed sinks to feed. Adding more feed boxes is nothing more than increasing the amount of feed, and of course, it can also increase the types. During the sinking process of feed, the amount of food that can be consumed in the upper, middle and lower layers is decreasing, which cannot meet the aquaculture needs of the deep water layer, and different species have different requirements for feed. For aquaculture in deep water layers, throwing different types of feed on different sea surfaces with multiple feed boxes has the same effect as throwing different types of feed on different sea surfaces with a single box multiple times, but the number of fillings is reduced. This system has 6 feed boxes, which can carry 1-6 kinds of feed and can dive accurately to different water layers. For example, today you need to feed three different fish in three water layers, and each two feed boxes contain one kind of feed. The feed of the three fish is carried and dived to the deep water layer. The fish in the deep water layer feed the corresponding feed, and then float to the middle water layer, and so on. Finally, float to the sea surface to quickly replenish it for the next operation. The feeding efficiency and feeding accuracy are high, the feeding cost is reduced, the feed utilization rate is high, and the waste is reduced. The three types of fish are fed with feed that is in accordance with their growth laws, and their growth rate is faster than that of wide-spread feeding, and the economic benefits are far better than traditional technical solutions. Therefore, the concept of designing multiple boxes in the present invention is not a simple concept of multiple boxes, but an original design that combines up and down floating and feeding in stages.
[0121] Through rotation, the feed that was originally only at the outlet of the feed conveying pipe can be spread out due to centrifugal force. For example, the Z axis is the up and down direction of the main body, and the X axis is the feed conveying pipe. Extending to three dimensions, a feeding area far away from the main body is formed. Compared with feeding in a non-rotating static state, it can prevent marine organisms from damaging the main body and the marine organisms themselves by snatching food, and it will also make the feed easier to throw out and release. To a certain extent, the backlog and blockage of the conveying pipe during feeding can be solved by centrifugal force, such as blockage caused by too fast feeding.
[0122] In practice, a central control box door 1 may be provided for installing the central control system and subsequent maintenance, and its size is smaller than that of the central control box door 2. The central control box door 2 is used for replacing gas cylinders and inspecting and maintaining the integrated pipeline.
