Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture equipment, and more particularly to a rapid packaging device for shellfish seedlings. Background Technology
[0002] In the aquaculture industry, the packaging of shellfish seedlings is one of the key processes. The goal is to package them in quantitative quantities, and the accuracy of the packaging directly affects the cost and economic benefits for farmers.
[0003] Currently, shellfish larvae are mainly packaged manually, which involves manually scooping the larvae from the rearing tank into seedling bags or culture containers. Based on the inherent density of the larvae in the rearing tank and the fixed volume specifications of the measuring tools, this packaging method can meet the requirements for packaging accuracy. However, its drawbacks are also obvious: low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high labor costs. Even with multi-sized measuring tools that can achieve the target packaging volume in a single scoop, the problem remains difficult to overcome due to the large volume of packaging.
[0004] There is currently no corresponding solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a rapid packaging device for shellfish seedlings that is simple in structure, low in maintenance cost, can achieve high-efficiency semi-automatic packaging, and greatly reduces the intensity of manual labor.
[0006] The equipment includes a support frame, on which an assembly base plate is fixedly mounted. A dispensing drain hole is provided on the assembly base plate, and a dispensing tube is provided below the dispensing drain hole. The assembly base plate is provided with a height adjustment mechanism, and the height adjustment mechanism is provided with a seedling integrated funnel; that is, the gap between the seedling integrated funnel and the assembly base plate can be adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism. The seedling integrated funnel has a quantitative dispensing plate slidably disposed on its bottom surface. The upper surface of the quantitative dispensing plate is fitted with the inlet of the seedling integrated funnel, and a quantitative hole is provided on the quantitative dispensing plate corresponding to the dispensing inlet. The quantitative hole and the dispensing inlet are positioned axially. A dispensing sleeve is slidably disposed inside the metering orifice, and the dispensing sleeve is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the metering orifice; The outer wall of the dispensing sleeve and the bottom surface of the quantitative dispensing plate are sealed by a spring; The quantitative dispensing plate is powered by a sliding drive mechanism.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention solves the problem that the packaging of shellfish seedlings in the prior art relies on manual labor, which results in high labor intensity and low packaging efficiency; it achieves semi-automatic batch packaging and quantitative packaging of seedlings through a simple structure, which can greatly reduce the intensity of manual labor, and the equipment is easy to maintain with low cost of construction and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation
[0009] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention provides a rapid dispensing device for shellfish seedlings, comprising a support 2, an assembly base plate 7 fixedly disposed on the support 2, a dispensing drain hole 71 disposed on the assembly base plate 7, and a dispensing tube 72 disposed below the dispensing drain hole 71. The assembly base plate 7 is provided with a height adjustment mechanism 4, and the height adjustment mechanism 4 is provided with a seedling integrated funnel 1; that is, the gap between the seedling integrated funnel 1 and the assembly base plate 7 can be adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism 4. The seedling integrated funnel 1 is slidably provided with a quantitative dispensing plate 3 on its bottom surface. The upper surface of the quantitative dispensing plate 3 is attached to the opening of the seedling integrated funnel 1, and a quantitative hole 32 is provided on the quantitative dispensing plate 3 corresponding to the dispensing hole 71. The quantitative hole 32 corresponds to the axial position of the dispensing hole 71. A dispensing sleeve 6 is slidably disposed inside the metering orifice 32, and the dispensing sleeve 6 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the metering orifice 32; The outer wall of the dispensing sleeve 6 and the bottom surface of the quantitative dispensing plate 3 are sealed by a spring 61; The quantitative dispensing plate 3 is powered to be connected to the sliding drive mechanism 5.
[0010] The effect achieved is that the dispensing sleeve 6 and the metering hole 32 form a telescopic sleeve structure based on the spring 61, and the complete volume of the sleeve is the dispensing volume in one go; that is, by adjusting the height adjustment mechanism 4, the dispensing sleeve 6 can slide up and down in the metering hole 32, and the overall height of the assembly formed by them determines the dispensing volume of a single dispensing. Given that the density of shellfish seedlings is extremely high, the above-mentioned height adjustment can achieve precise seedling metering based on volume adjustment. Furthermore, based on the axial position correspondence between the quantitative orifice 32 and the dispensing leak 71, and the sliding connection of the quantitative dispensing plate 3, the assembly completes the receiving of material from the seedling integrated funnel 1 within its sliding stroke, and then releases the internal material from the dispensing leak 71 corresponding to the assembly through sliding, thus completing one dispensing. Through multiple repetitions, multiple dispensings can be completed.
[0011] In Example 1, the dispensing holes 71 are provided in at least two rows, and each row array is provided with multiple dispensing holes 71; The quantitative orifice 32 is provided in multiple rows corresponding to the dispensing leakage orifice 71, and each row is provided with multiple orifices.
[0012] Furthermore, the seedling integrated funnel 1 is arranged in multiple rows corresponding to the dispensing tubes 72, and each row of funnels is provided with a partition corresponding to the quantitative hole 32 area; that is, the partitions divide each seedling integrated funnel 1 into several dispensing areas corresponding to the number of quantitative holes 32 in a single row, and each dispensing area is provided with a leak at the bottom. The funnel opening and the dispensing hole 71 are staggered.
[0013] The effect achieved in this way is that, on the one hand, the independent packaging area can ensure more uniform packaging, and on the other hand, the above-mentioned structural features can package more shellfish seedlings at one time, that is, package more seedling bags or breeding containers at one time.
[0014] In Example 2, the height adjustment mechanism 4 includes a rotating sleeve disposed on the bracket 2. The rotating sleeve is disposed on both sides of the bracket 2. A screw is rotatably disposed inside the rotating sleeve. A gear is disposed at the bottom of the two screws, and a synchronous chain 42 is disposed on the gear. The seedling integrated funnel 1 has screw holes on its two wing plates, which means that the seedling integrated funnel 1 is threadedly connected to the screw. A rotating disc 41 is also provided on the screw.
[0015] Furthermore, the height of the threaded section of the screw is not greater than the height of the sub-assembly sleeve 6.
[0016] The effect achieved is that by shaking the rotary table 41, the seedling integrated funnel 1, i.e. the quantitative dispensing plate 3, can be raised or lowered based on the rotation of the screw, thereby adjusting the overall height of the assembly, i.e., adjusting its volume.
[0017] In Example 3, the seedling integrated funnel 1 is provided with sliding sleeves on both sides below, and the quantitative dispensing plate 3 is provided with sliding shafts 31 on both sides above through two stop point bases, that is, the sliding shafts 31 are fixedly connected to the stop point bases. The length of the sliding shaft 31, i.e. the distance between the two stop points of the quantitative dispensing plate 3, is set to correspond to the axial distance between the funnel opening and the dispensing hole 71.
[0018] That is, with the aforementioned stop base as the stroke stop point, one limit stroke stop point quantitative hole 32 corresponds to the funnel outlet to realize material feeding to the assembly, and the other limit stroke stop point assembly corresponds to the dispensing hole 71 to realize material feeding.
[0019] Furthermore, the sliding drive mechanism 5 includes a servo motor, the output shaft of which is connected to a drive screw via a coupling, and a drive base is provided at the bottom of the quantitative dispensing plate 3, with the drive screw screwed to the drive base.
[0020] That is, based on the servo motor driving the screw to rotate, the quantitative dispensing plate 3 slides to the two extreme strokes.
[0021] In Example 4, mechanical seals are provided between the outlet of the seedling integrated funnel 1 and the quantitative dispensing plate 3, and between the dispensing sleeve 6 and the assembly base plate 7.
[0022] This achieves the effect of preventing culture medium leakage.
[0023] In Example 5, the bracket 2 is a rectangular frame structure, and its legs are provided with adjustable height columns at the bottom.
[0024] This ensures the overall stability of the equipment.
[0025] In Example 6, the dispensing tube 72 is a round tube or a funnel, and the dispensing tube 72 is integrally connected or disposed on the assembly base plate 7 through a quick-release structure.
[0026] This facilitates assembly and maintenance.
[0027] The principle of this invention is as follows: the assembly is determined based on the seedling density and the target amount of dispensing, that is, the single volume of the inner cavity of the dispensing sleeve 6 and the quantitative hole 32 connecting body is adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism 4; a large number of seedlings are filled into the seedling integrated funnel 1 at one time, the quantitative dispensing plate 3 is activated, one of its extreme stroke stop points of quantitative hole 32 corresponds to the funnel outlet, realizing the material falling into the assembly, and the other extreme stroke stop point of the assembly corresponds to the dispensing hole 71, realizing the material falling.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
