Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and specifically to an aquaculture device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional aquaculture or ornamental organism breeding equipment (such as fish tanks and aquariums) usually relies on manual daily management, including feeding, observing the organisms' condition, and maintaining water quality.

[0003] Although the existing device is equipped with a filter, feeding requires manual feeding and cannot be automated. Observing the condition inside the tank requires the user to be on-site, and there is a lack of real-time visual monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0015] In one embodiment, the feeder includes a drive motor and a sliding plate; the cover has a storage bin; the mounting housing has a receiving groove for accommodating the sliding plate; the storage bin is connected to the receiving groove; the sliding plate is driven by the drive motor to extend and retract relative to the receiving groove; the sliding plate has a discharge hole that communicates with the storage bin; the discharge hole delivers food into the cylinder as the sliding plate extends and retracts.

[0016] Specifically, when the sliding plate is located in the receiving tank, the discharge hole is connected to the storage bin, and the feed accumulates in the discharge hole. As the sliding plate moves outside the receiving tank, the discharge hole is separated from the storage bin, and the feed in the discharge hole falls into the cylinder body, thus achieving feeding.

[0017] The storage silo has a feeding port, and the feeding port is covered with a second cover plate.

[0018] The housing includes a first top cover and a second top cover; the first top cover has a through-hole and a feed storage compartment, and covers the feeder.

[0023] In one embodiment, a base is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder; the bottom of the base has an annular protrusion.

[0024] Specifically, the raised strip is used to abut against the object, increasing the contact area with the object and thus increasing the corresponding friction.

[0025] In one embodiment, the vision module includes a camera and a protective cover; the protective cover is fixedly connected to the mounting housing and is located inside the cylinder; the protective cover has a shooting hole; the lens of the camera is sealed and connected in the shooting hole.

[0026] In one embodiment, the protective cover is fixedly connected to the mounting housing via a first connecting tube; the first connecting tube contains wires for electrical connection with the camera.

[0027] In one embodiment, a processor is also fixedly installed within the installation space; the processor includes a processing chip, a signal transmitting module, and a signal receiving module; the feeder, the vision module, the signal transmitting module, and the signal receiving module are all electrically connected to the processing chip; the signal transmitting module is used to connect to the terminal device via wireless transmission.

[0028] Specifically, a display screen is fixedly mounted on the mounting housing, and the display screen is electrically connected to the processor.

[0029] The mounting housing has mounting positions for fixing the heater, the heating part of which is located inside the cylinder.

[0030] The mounting housing has multiple buttons that are electrically connected to the processor. The processing chip, signal transmitting module, and signal receiving module are all mounted on the substrate.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0032] Users can remotely control the feeder via computers, tablets, or mobile phones, and observe the condition of the organisms and the environment in the tank in real time through a visual module, breaking through the limitations of time and space and greatly reducing the need for manual intervention. It realizes remote control, automatic feeding, real-time monitoring, efficient filtration, and convenient maintenance, greatly improving the convenience, safety, and viewing experience of fishkeeping.

[0033] By integrating the three core functions of automatic feeder, vision module and filter assembly into the tank cover and connecting it to terminal devices (mobile phone / computer / tablet), the core needs of users to remotely manage the tank (remote feeding and real-time observation) are realized. At the same time, by attaching the filter assembly to the inner wall of the tank, the activity space of the organisms in the tank is increased, and the cleanliness of the outside of the breeding device is improved, avoiding the clutter of external equipment.

[0058] This application proposes improvements and innovations, and presents the following embodiments.

[0059] In some implementations, please refer to Figures 1 to 12 A breeding device is provided, including

[0060] Cylinder 1, the top of cylinder 1 is an opening 11;

[0061] Cylinder head assembly 2, which covers the opening 11; cylinder head assembly 2 includes an automatic feeder 21 and a vision module 22 for observing the inside of cylinder 1; both feeder 21 and vision module 22 can be electrically connected to terminal device 4.

[0062] The filter assembly 3 is located inside the cylinder body 1 and is in contact with the inner wall of the cylinder body 1. The filter assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the cylinder head assembly 2.

[0063] Among them, terminal device 4 is a computer, tablet or mobile phone.

[0064] Users can remotely control the feeder 21 to feed fish via terminal devices such as computers, tablets, or mobile phones 4, and observe the status of organisms and environmental conditions in the tank in real time through the vision module 22, breaking through the limitations of time and space and greatly reducing the need for manual intervention. It realizes remote control, automatic feeding, real-time monitoring, efficient filtration, and convenient maintenance, greatly improving the convenience, safety, and viewing experience of fishkeeping.

[0065] By integrating the three core functions of the automatic feeder 21, vision module 22 and filter assembly 3 into the cylinder cover and connecting it with the terminal device 4 (mobile phone / computer / tablet), the core needs of users to remotely manage the breeding device (remote feeding and real-time observation) are realized. At the same time, by attaching the filter assembly 3 to the inner wall of the cylinder 1, the activity space of the organisms in the cylinder 1 is increased, and the cleanliness of the outside of the breeding device is improved, avoiding the clutter of external equipment.

[0066] In some embodiments, the cylinder head assembly 2 further includes a cover shell 23 and a mounting shell 24; the cover shell 23 and the mounting shell 24 are detachably connected to form an installation space; the feeder 21 and the filter assembly 3 are installed in the installation space; and the vision module 22 is externally fixedly connected to the mounting shell 24. The detachable connection between the cover shell 23 and the mounting shell 24 makes the installation, maintenance, and replacement of key internal components (feeder 21, filter assembly 3) very convenient. Externally fixing the vision module 22 ensures an unobstructed field of view, allowing for clear observation of the cylinder interior.

[0067] In some embodiments, the cover 23 has a through hole 25 communicating with the cylinder body 1; a first cover plate 26 covers the through hole 25. The through hole 25 and the first cover plate 26 facilitate direct interaction between the user and the cylinder body 1 (such as reaching out for partial cleaning or adjusting decorations). A limiting block ensures the stability and sealing of the cover plate closure and prevents misalignment.

[0068] Specifically, the edge of the first cover plate 26 is fastened to the edge of the through hole 25, and the first cover plate 26 has a limiting block for abutting against the inner wall of the through hole 25.

[0069] The cover 23 and the mounting shell 24 are connected together by snaps and bolts. The snap and bolt connection achieves a balance between secure fixation and quick disassembly.

[0070] A lighting strip 5 is fixedly installed on the edge of the through hole 25. The lighting strip 5 provides supplementary lighting, which not only facilitates clear shooting by the visual module 22 in low light conditions, but also enhances the visual appeal of the breeding device and creates an atmosphere.

[0071] In some embodiments, the feeder 21 includes a drive motor 211 and a sliding plate 212; the cover 23 has a storage bin 231; the mounting shell 24 has a receiving groove 241 for accommodating the sliding plate 212; the storage bin 231 communicates with the receiving groove 241; the sliding plate 212 is driven by the drive motor 211 to extend and retract relative to the receiving groove 241; the sliding plate 212 has a discharge hole 213 that communicates with the storage bin 231; the discharge hole 213 delivers feed into the cylinder 1 as the sliding plate 212 extends and retracts. By controlling the opening and closing of the discharge hole 213 and the dropping of feed through the extension and retraction movement of the sliding plate 212, quantitative feeding is achieved, avoiding feed waste and water pollution. The design of the storage bin 231 allows for the addition of a large amount of feed at a time, reducing the inconvenience of frequent feeding.

[0072] Specifically, when the sliding plate 212 is located inside the receiving tank 241, the discharge hole 213 is connected to the storage bin 231, and the feed accumulates in the discharge hole 213. As the sliding plate 212 moves outside the receiving tank 241, the discharge hole 213 is separated from the storage bin 231, and the feed in the discharge hole 213 falls from the discharge hole 213 into the cylinder 1, thus achieving feeding.

[0073] The storage silo 231 is provided with a feeding port 232, and a second cover plate 233 is provided on the feeding port 232. The second cover plate 233 can prevent moisture and dust.

[0074] The cover 23 includes a first upper cover 234 and a second upper cover 235. The first upper cover 234 has a through hole 25 and a storage bin 231, and covers the feeder 21. The second upper cover 235 covers the filter assembly 3 directly above it and fits onto the mounting housing 24 to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the filter assembly 3. The separate design of the first upper cover 234 and the second upper cover 235 achieves functional partitioning, ensuring that the maintenance of the feeder 21 and the filter assembly 3 does not interfere with each other, and simplifying the replacement and maintenance process.

[0075] In some embodiments, the edge of the sliding plate 212 has a rack 214, and the output end of the drive motor 211 meshes with the rack 214 for transmission. The meshing transmission between the gear and the rack 214 can accurately convert the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the sliding plate 212, ensuring reliable power transmission, preventing slippage, and guaranteeing the reliability of the feeding action.

[0076] In some embodiments, the receiving groove 241 includes a plate 2411 having a first groove 2412; a second groove 242 is provided inside the mounting shell 24; the plate 2411 and the mounting shell 24 are detachably fixedly connected, and the edge of the first groove 2412 and the edge of the second groove 242 are fitted together to form the receiving groove 241.

[0077] The detachable connection between the plate 2411 and the mounting shell 24 allows the entire feeder 21 to be easily removed for thorough cleaning or maintenance. The first groove 2412 and the second groove 242 fit together to form a receiving groove 241, and the interconnected design of the hole 2413 ensures a smooth passage of feed from the storage bin 231 to the discharge hole 213.

[0078] Specifically, the plate 2411 has a hole 2413, and the storage bin 231 communicates with the hole 2413; the hole 2413 communicates with the second groove 242. The plate 2411 and the mounting shell 24 are connected by bolts. The bolt connection is firm and reliable.

[0079] In some embodiments, the filter assembly 3 includes a first filter mechanism 31 and a second filter mechanism 32; the inlet 3132 of the first filter mechanism 31 is connected to the interior of the tank 1; the outlet 3112 of the first filter mechanism 31 is connected to the inlet 3132 of the second filter mechanism 32; and the outlet 3112 of the second filter mechanism 32 is connected to the tank 1. By employing a two-stage filtration system in series, the first filter mechanism 31 (e.g., physical filtration) first removes large particulate impurities, and the second filter mechanism 32 (e.g., biological filtration) then performs deep purification. This tiered treatment method significantly improves the filtration effect and water quality stability, providing a healthier living environment for fish while reducing the frequency of water changes for users.

[0080] Specifically, the first filtration mechanism 31 includes:

[0081] The first housing 311 has a first mounting hole 3111 and a water outlet 3112;

[0082] The second housing 312 has a first mounting port 3121, which is detachably connected to the first mounting hole 3111; the second housing 312 has a second mounting port 3122 that communicates with the first mounting port 3121; a filter pump 3123 is installed in the second housing 312, and the outlet of the filter pump 3123 is communicated with the water outlet 3112.

[0083] The third housing 313, the first housing 311 has a second mounting hole 3131 and a water inlet 3132; the water inlet 3132 is connected to the second mounting hole 3131; the second mounting hole 3131 is detachably connected to the second mounting port 3122.

[0084] The detachable connection structure of the first housing 311, the second housing 312, and the third housing 313 (e.g., the first mounting hole 3111 and the first mounting port 3121, and the second mounting hole 3131 and the second mounting port 3122 are engaged by hooks and holes) enables rapid assembly and disassembly of the filter device. After disassembling the third housing 313, impurities inside can be removed, achieving rapid cleaning. This also allows users to easily disassemble, clean, or replace the filter pump 3123 without the need for special tools, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0085] Each shell can be manufactured using individual molds, reducing mold complexity and production costs. The final assembly process is simple and quick, which helps improve production efficiency and is suitable for mass production.

[0086] The filter pump 3123 is independently encapsulated in the second housing 312, which isolates it from the water environment in the tank 1. This reduces the direct entry of fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, or large debris into the pump body, effectively preventing the pump impeller from jamming or the motor from burning out, and significantly extending the service life of the core components.

[0087] In some embodiments, a filter screen 3124 is fixedly connected inside the second housing 312, and a filter pump 3123 is mounted on the filter screen 3124.

[0088] A filter screen 3124 is installed upstream of the filter pump 3123 to perform preliminary physical filtration of the water flow, effectively intercepting larger particles of impurities such as fish feces, feed residue, and aquatic plant fragments. This prevents impurities from directly entering and damaging the impeller and rotor of the filter pump 3123, providing double protection for the pump and making its operation more stable and its lifespan longer.

[0089] Specifically, the filter pump 3123 is located downstream of the filter screen 3124, meaning that the water flows through the filter screen 3124 before entering the filter pump 3123.

[0090] In some embodiments, a flow guide tube 3125 is fixedly connected to the filter screen 3124; one end of the flow guide tube 3125 is fixedly connected to the filter screen 3124, and the other end can extend into the third housing 313.

[0091] The flow guide tube 3125 fixed to the filter screen 3124 can extend to the bottom of the third housing 313, so that the water flows from bottom to top, which helps the heavier impurities in the water to settle at the bottom of the third housing 313 under the action of gravity, reducing the amount of impurities adhering to the filter screen 3124.

[0092] Specifically, the diversion tube 3125 is located upstream of the filter screen 3124, meaning that the water flows through the diversion tube 3125 before passing through the filter screen 3124.

[0093] In some embodiments, the inlet 3132 is located on the side of the third housing 313 and near the second mounting hole 3131; the inlet end of the guide tube 3125 extends to near the bottom of the third housing 313. This arrangement increases the path of the water flow and reduces the flow rate, thereby making it easier for impurities to settle at the bottom of the third housing 313.

[0094] In some embodiments, a first hook 3126 is fixedly connected to the first mounting port 3121, and a first hole 3113 is provided on the inner wall of the first housing 311 for the first hook 3126 to be engaged. When the first hook 3126 is engaged in the first hole 3113, the edge of the first mounting port 3121 and the edge of the first mounting hole 3111 are in contact with each other.

[0095] The use of hooks and holes provides a crisp, satisfying click, allowing users to clearly perceive that the installation is in place and ensuring the mechanical strength and reliability of the connection between the first housing 311 and the second housing 312. The edge-fitting design ensures a tight seal at the connection, effectively preventing the formation of suction forces that could attract fish when the filter pump 3123 is operating.

[0096] This hook and hole connection enables truly quick disassembly and assembly by hand. When cleaning and maintaining the pump module, users can easily separate the first housing 311 and the second housing 312 by pressing (pressing down the hook to separate it from the hole) and pulling (pulling the second housing 312). Disassembly and assembly are extremely convenient.

[0097] In some embodiments, a second hook 3127 is fixedly connected to the second mounting port 3122, and a second locking hole 3133 is provided on the inner wall of the third housing 313 for the second hook 3127 to be engaged. When the second hook 3127 is engaged in the second locking hole 3133, the edge of the second mounting port 3122 and the edge of the second mounting hole 3131 are in contact with each other.

[0098] The connection method of the second hook 3127 engaging with the second hook hole 3133 is the same as the connection method of the first hook 3126 engaging with the first hook hole 3113, and the effect is also the same. It makes it easier for users to clean impurities inside the third housing 313.

[0099] In some embodiments, the outlet of the filter pump 3123 is connected to the outlet 3112 via a pipe 3114. The design of using a pipe 3114 (such as a flexible hose) to connect the outlet of the filter pump 3123 and the outlet 3112 is reasonable.

[0100] In some embodiments, a second filtration mechanism 32 is further included; the second filtration mechanism 32 includes a connecting pipe and a housing 322 having a filter tank 323; one end of the connecting pipe is connected to a water outlet 3112 and the connecting pipe is connected to the filter tank 323; the filter tank 323 is filled with a filler 324; a water outlet 325 is provided at the bottom of the filter tank 323.

[0101] The added second filtration unit 32 provides space to accommodate biological filter media (such as sponges, bio-rings, and bio-balls). These porous materials can cultivate a large number of beneficial bacteria, such as nitrifying bacteria. They can efficiently decompose toxic ammonia and nitrite in the water and convert them into less toxic nitrate, fundamentally stabilizing the ecological environment within the tank 1 and ensuring the health of fish and other organisms.

[0102] Specifically, there are multiple water outlet holes 325, which are evenly distributed at the bottom of the filter tank 323. The filler 324 is a sponge or a porous material for cultivating nitrifying bacteria.

[0103] The filling material, such as sponges, allows for finer physical filtration of the water after the first stage of filtration, adsorbing smaller particulate impurities and making the water clearer and more transparent. Multiple evenly distributed water outlets 325 ensure that the filtered water flows back to the tank 1 smoothly and evenly, avoiding the impact of a single strong water flow on the aquascape and fish in the tank 1, thus creating a more natural ecological environment.

[0104] In some embodiments, a plurality of partitions 326 are fixedly connected within the filter tank 323, arranged at intervals in sequence. The partitions 326 divide the filter tank 323 into multiple small chambers to facilitate the installation and placement of the filler 324, ensuring that the filler 324 is evenly distributed and improving filtration efficiency.

[0105] In some embodiments, a plurality of water distribution holes 327 are provided on the side wall of the second connecting pipe 321, which are arranged in sequence at intervals; each water distribution hole 327 is located above the filter tank 323 and communicates with the filter tank 323.

[0106] Multiple water distribution holes 327 on the side wall of the second connecting pipe 321 disperse the water flow, spraying it evenly across the entire cross-section of the filter tank 323 below, like a "shower head," preventing the water flow from impacting only a localized area of ​​the filter media. This water distribution method ensures that all filter media can be evenly contacted by the water flow, achieving 100% filter media utilization, preventing localized filter media failure due to insufficient water flow, and avoiding localized blockage due to excessive water flow, significantly improving the overall filtration efficiency and capacity of the second filtration mechanism 32.

[0107] In some embodiments, a base 6 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 1; the bottom of the base 6 has an annular protrusion 61. The annular protrusion 61 at the bottom increases the contact area and friction with the cabinet or tabletop, effectively preventing the cylinder 1 from sliding or tipping over due to external forces (such as collisions or pets rubbing against it), thus avoiding potential safety hazards and equipment damage.

[0108] Specifically, the convex strip 61 is used to abut against the object, increasing the contact area with the object and thus increasing the corresponding friction.

[0109] In some embodiments, the vision module 22 includes a camera 221 and a protective cover 222; the protective cover 222 is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 24 and is located inside the cylinder 1; the protective cover 222 has a shooting hole 223; the lens of the camera 221 is sealed and connected in the shooting hole 223.

[0110] The protective cover 222 isolates the camera 221 from the water, effectively preventing water vapor and scale from corroding the lens and electrical components. The sealed connection between the lens and the shooting hole 223 ensures clear and unblurred imaging, allowing users to obtain real and clear real-time images inside the cylinder through the terminal device 4.

[0111] In some embodiments, the protective cover 222 is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 24 via a first connecting tube 224; the first connecting tube 224 is provided with wires for electrical connection with the camera 221. After being connected via the first connecting tube 224, the protective cover 222 can be completely submerged in water, providing the user with a better viewing angle.

[0112] Specifically, a suction cup is fixedly connected to the protective cover 222, which can be adsorbed onto the inner wall of the cylinder 1.

[0113] The protective cover 222 is a sealed protective shell, which prevents moisture from entering the protective shell and affecting the normal operation of the camera 221.

[0114] In some embodiments, a processor 7 is also fixedly installed within the installation space; the processor 7 includes a processing chip 71, a signal transmitting module 72, and a signal receiving module 73; the feeder 21, vision module 22, signal transmitting module 72, and signal receiving module 73 are all electrically connected to the processing chip 71; the signal transmitting module 72 is used to connect to the terminal device 4 via wireless transmission. The processor 7 completes the intelligent control hub integration of the entire device, providing diverse control and human-machine interaction methods. The processor 7 and the wireless modules (signal transmitting module 72 and signal receiving module 73) are the "brain" for realizing remote intelligent control, processing user commands, collecting sensor data, and sending information.

[0115] Specifically, a display screen 74 is fixedly mounted on the mounting housing 24, and the display screen 74 is electrically connected to the processor 7. The display screen 74 and buttons provide a local control interface, allowing users to perform settings, feeding, and other operations on-site without a mobile phone, increasing the flexibility of use.

[0116] The mounting housing 24 has a mounting position for fixing the heater 8, the heating part of which is located inside the cylinder 1.

[0117] The heater has 8 mounting positions, which enable functional scalability, allowing users to easily add heating rods and intelligently control the water temperature to meet the breeding needs of different fish species.

[0118] Multiple buttons are provided on the mounting housing 24. Each button, heater 8, lighting strip 5, camera 221, and drive motor 211 are electrically connected to the processing chip 71. The processing chip 71, signal transmitting module 72, and signal receiving module 73 are all mounted on the substrate. The signal transmitting module 72 and signal receiving module 73 are both connected to the terminal device 4 via wireless transmission.

[0119] The module is mounted on the substrate, making the internal structure compact and neat, and improving the stability and reliability of the circuit.
