Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sea cucumber breeding, and particularly relates to a sea cucumber breeding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sea cucumber is a kind of high-protein and low-fat marine food, which is rich in collagen, polysaccharide and saponin and other trace elements, and has the effects of enhancing immunity, promoting wound repair, resisting oxidation and nourishing yin and kidney, and is suitable for people with weak constitution or postoperative recovery to eat appropriately.

[0003] The breeding methods of sea cucumber mainly include bottom sowing propagation, dike shrimp pond and hanging cage. When sea cucumber is fed by using the hanging cage method, the cage door of the hanging cage is opened by the breeder, and then the breeder feeds the feed into the multiple breeding cages in the hanging cage according to the age of the sea cucumber. Too much or too little feeding will cause waste and slow down the growth of the sea cucumber. After the feeding is completed, the breeder needs to close the cage door one by one, and then put the hanging cage into the breeding pond. When the hanging cage sinks into the pond, the pond water will scatter the feed in the hanging cage, causing the feed to escape from the hanging cage. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantages of complicated steps, low efficiency and feed scattering in the prior art sea cucumber breeding device, the purpose of the present application is to provide a sea cucumber breeding device.

[0005] The technical scheme is as follows: a sea cucumber breeding device, comprising a hanging cage, and further comprising a feeding mechanism arranged on the hanging cage, the feeding mechanism comprising a guide rail fixed to the hanging cage, a feeding bin being assembled and slidably connected in the guide rail, a lifting plate being slidably connected in the feeding bin in a vertical direction, a compression spring being arranged between the lifting plate and the feeding bin, a rotating cover being hingedly connected to the lifting plate, an expansion cover being slidably connected to the rotating cover, an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the feeding amount of the feed being arranged in the feeding bin, the adjusting mechanism comprising an expansion plate being slidably connected to the feeding bin in a left-right direction, the expansion cover abutting against the expansion plate, a reset spring being arranged between the expansion plate and the feeding bin, a torsion plate being rotatably connected to the feeding bin, a wire wheel A being sleeved on the rotating shaft of the torsion plate, and a pull rope A being wound on the wire wheel A and fixed to the expansion plate.

[0006] As a further preferred scheme, the adjusting mechanism further comprises an elastic clamping block A slidably connected to the feeding bin, and a limiting groove is formed in the torsion plate for inserting the elastic clamping block A.

[0007] As a further preferred scheme, a recess is formed in the rotating cover, an elastic locking block is slidably connected in the recess, and a locking rod is fixed to the lifting plate and matched with the locking block.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, the bottom of the feeding bin is fitted with an insert plate that abuts against the expansion plate.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, the device also includes a drive mechanism for driving the lifting plate. The drive mechanism includes a T-shaped plate that is slidably inserted through the feeding bin. A pull rope B is fixedly connected between the T-shaped plate and the lifting plate. A spool B for guiding the pull rope B is rotatably connected inside the feeding bin. Elastic limit blocks for limiting the T-shaped plate are symmetrically slidably connected inside the guide rail.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism also includes a blocking block that is symmetrically slidably connected in the guide rail along the vertical direction, the blocking block being used to limit the T-shaped plate.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, the cage has a through-hole for feeding and a baffle for blocking the feeding hole.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment, the cage is slidably connected to an elastic locking block B, and the baffle is provided with a slot for the elastic locking block B to be inserted.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, a protective plate is slidably connected through the cage.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment, the cage is slidably connected with an elastic locking block C, and the protective plate has two slots for the elastic locking block C to be inserted.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention, through the design of the feeding mechanism, allows for the feeding of feed by inserting the feeding bin into the guide rail and pushing the feeding bin to slide along the guide rail, thereby evenly distributing the feed into multiple breeding bins of the hanging cage. By setting an adjustment mechanism, before feeding, the position of the expansion plate can be adjusted by the breeder by rotating the torsion plate, thereby changing the capacity of the filling bin, so that the breeder can accurately adjust the amount of feed according to the age of the sea cucumber.

[0016] 2. Through the design of the baffle and protective plate, when feeding, the staff first pushes the protective plate to slide until it abuts against the inner wall of the cage. After the feed is pushed into the cage, the baffle is reset. The baffle and protective plate can separate the water in the aquaculture pond and prevent the feed from being washed away by the pond water when the cage sinks into the aquaculture pond.

[0019] The technical solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that the terms "up," "down," "left," and "right" used in this document refer only to the position of the structure shown in the corresponding drawings. The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Unless otherwise specified, terms such as "connection" and "linkage" in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0020] Example 1 A type of sea cucumber farming equipment, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the system includes a cage 1 containing three independent aquaculture chambers, and a feeding mechanism mounted on the cage 1. The feeding mechanism includes a guide rail 201 fixed to the top of the cage 1, a feeding chamber 202 slidably connected within the guide rail 201, a lifting plate 203 slidably connected vertically within the feeding chamber 202, a compression spring between the bottom of the lifting plate 203 and the inner wall of the feeding chamber 202, a rotating cover 204 hinged to the right side of the lifting plate 203, and an extension cover 205 slidably connected to the bottom of the rotating cover 204 in the left-right direction. The feeding chamber 202 contains a feeding mechanism that adjusts the feed according to the age of the sea cucumbers. The feeding adjustment mechanism includes an extension plate 206 that can be adjusted left and right and slidably connected to the feeding chamber 202. A filling chamber 100 is formed between the left side of the extension plate 206 and the inner wall of the feeding chamber 202. The filling chamber 100 is used to fill sea cucumber feed. An extension cover 205 abuts against the left wall of the extension plate 206. A return spring is provided between the right side of the extension plate 206 and the inner wall of the feeding chamber 202. A torsion plate 207 is rotatably connected through the upper front side of the feeding chamber 202. A spool A208 is mounted on the shaft of the torsion plate 207. A pull rope A that is fixed to the extension plate 206 is wound on the spool A208.

[0021] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment mechanism also includes an elastic locking block A301 that is slidably connected to the upper front side of the feeding bin 202, and a limiting groove for the elastic locking block A301 to be inserted into the outer wall of the torsion plate 207.

[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a groove is provided on the top left side of the rotating cover 204, and a locking block 401 is elastically slidably connected in the groove along the front-back direction. A locking rod 402 that cooperates with the locking block 401 is fixedly connected to the top front side of the lifting plate 203.

[0023] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a plug plate 501 is installed on the bottom right side of the feeding bin 202. The plug plate 501 abuts against the expansion plate 206. The plug plate 501 can prevent feed leakage in the feeding bin 202.

[0024] like Figures 8-10 As shown, it also includes a drive mechanism for driving the lifting plate 203 to move in the vertical direction. The drive mechanism includes a T-shaped plate 601 that is slidably inserted into the lower left side of the feeding bin 202 in the left-right direction. A pull rope B is fixedly connected between the right side of the T-shaped plate 601 and the bottom of the lifting plate 203. A pulley B602 for guiding the pull rope B is rotatably connected to the lower left side of the inner wall of the feeding bin 202. An elastic limiting block 603 for limiting the T-shaped plate 601 is symmetrically slidably connected in the guide rail 201 in the left-right direction.

[0025] like Figure 9 As shown, the drive mechanism also includes a blocking block 701 that is symmetrically slidably connected in the guide rail 201 along the vertical direction. The blocking block 701 is used to limit the T-shaped plate 601. When the feeding bin 202 slides to the right along the guide rail 201, the blocking block 701 limits the T-shaped plate 601, which enables the lifting plate 203, the rotating cover 204 and the expansion cover 205 to descend.

[0026] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the top of the cage 1 has a feeding opening, and a baffle 801 is slidably connected to it to block the feeding opening. When the cage 1 is sunk into the aquaculture pond, the baffle 801 blocks the feeding opening to prevent sea cucumbers from escaping through the feeding opening.

[0027] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a flexible locking block B901 is slidably connected to the top right side of the cage 1, and a slot for inserting the flexible locking block B901 is provided on the right side of the baffle 801.

[0028] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a protective plate 1001 is slidably connected through the cage 1. When the protective plate 1001 abuts against the inner wall of the cage 1, the baffle 801 and the protective plate 1001 cooperate to prevent the feed from being washed away and scattered by the pond water.

[0029] like Figure 13 As shown, an elastic locking block C1101 is slidably connected to the upper left side of the cage 1, and two slots for inserting the elastic locking block C1101 are provided at the bottom of the protective plate 1001.

[0030] Initially, both the compression spring and the return spring are in the released state, and the internal space of the filling chamber 100 is at its minimum. The filling chamber 100 is large enough to hold the feed required by the sea cucumber seedlings. The top surface of the locking block 401 abuts against the outer wall of the locking rod 402. The insert plate 501 is inserted into the feeding chamber 202 and abuts against the left side of the inner wall of the feeding chamber 202. The insert plate 501 seals the bottom of the feeding chamber 202, and the feeding chamber 202 is separated from the guide rail 201. The hanging cage 1 is lowered into the breeding pond. The baffle 801 blocks the feeding port of the hanging cage 1. The elastic locking block C1101 is inserted into the right slot of the protective plate 1001. First, the staff confirms the age of the sea cucumbers and then... The age of the sea cucumber determines whether the capacity of the filling chamber 100 needs adjustment. If the sea cucumber is older than the seedling stage, the staff rotates the torsion plate 207 clockwise. The shaft of the torsion plate 207 drives the spool A208 to rotate. The spool A208 drives the extension plate 206 to slide to the right through the winding rope A. The return spring contracts under force, creating a gap between the extension plate 206 and the extension cover 205. At the same time, the limiting groove of the torsion plate 207 presses against the elastic locking block A301. The elastic locking block A301 contracts elastically under force and slides out of the limiting groove until the torsion plate 207 rotates one full turn. The elastic locking block A301 aligns with the limiting groove, releases elastically, and slides into the limiting groove, thus adjusting the torsion plate. Limiting the rotation of the torsion plate 207, the shaft of the torsion plate 207 is limited by the pulley A208 and the rope A to the extension plate 206. This allows the capacity of the filling chamber 100 to be increased and kept stable, thus enabling the capacity of the filling chamber 100 to be adjusted according to the age of the sea cucumber. The older the sea cucumber, the more times the torsion plate 207 needs to be rotated through the above steps, thereby increasing the capacity of the filling chamber 100. Then, the aquaculture personnel push the locking block 401 backward. The locking block 401 elastically contracts and slides under force, disengaging from the locking rod 402. Then, the locking block 401 rotates the rotating cover 204 upward, which in turn drives the extension cover 205 to rotate upward, allowing feed to be filled into the filling chamber 100. Within 00, the bottom of the feeding bin 202 is sealed by the insert plate 501, allowing the feed to remain in the filling bin 100. Then, the rotating cover 204 is rotated downwards, causing the rotating cover 204 to move the expansion cover 205 and the locking block 401. The locking block 401 moves until it contacts the locking rod 402 and is squeezed and elastically contracted and slid under the pressure of the locking rod 402 until the rotating cover 204 rotates back to its original position. The locking block 401 then passes the locking rod 402 and elastically releases and slides back to its original position. The locking rod 402 limits the rotating cover 204 through the locking block 401. Then, the operator pushes the expansion cover 205 to the right, and the expansion cover 205 slides until it abuts against the expansion plate 206, thus completing the feed filling process.

[0031] It is worth adding that the above steps can be completed while the farmers are walking, which saves a lot of working time and improves work efficiency. In addition, multiple cages 1 can be fed through the same feeding bin 202, reducing the cost of using the farming equipment.

[0032] Initially, the T-shaped plate 601 is inserted into the feeding bin 202. After the feed is filled, the farmer lifts the cage 1 out of the breeding pond and places the cage 1 in a certain position. Figure 1As shown, the feeding bin 202 is aligned with the guide rail 201, and the bottom of the T-shaped plate 601 contacts the inclined surfaces of the two elastic limiting blocks 603. The feeding bin 202 is then pressed downwards, causing the T-shaped plate 601 to press against the inclined surfaces of the two elastic limiting blocks 603. The elastic limiting blocks 603 elastically contract and slide under pressure until both the feeding bin 202 and the T-shaped plate 601 are inserted into the guide rail 201. The T-shaped plate 601 passes over the inclined surfaces of the two elastic limiting blocks 603, and the two elastic limiting blocks 603 elastically release and slide back to their original positions. The bottom surfaces of both elastic limiting blocks 603 contact the top surface of the T-shaped plate 601. Then, the insert plate 501 is pulled out, and it no longer blocks the bottom of the feeding bin 202. Finally, the baffle 801 is pushed forward. 01. Under force, the baffle 801 slides forward, pressing the slot of the baffle 801 against the elastic block B901. The elastic block B901 contracts elastically and slides. After sliding, the baffle 801 no longer obstructs the feeding opening of the cage 1 and passes over the elastic block B901. The elastic block B901 releases its restraint and slides back to its original position. Because the sea cucumber feed has high viscosity, the feed will not fall directly into the cage 1. Then, the staff pushes the protective plate 1001 to the right. The right slot of the protective plate 1001 presses against the elastic block C1101. The elastic block C1101 contracts elastically and slides until the right side of the protective plate 1001 abuts against the inner wall of the cage 1. The left slot of the protective plate 1001 aligns with the elastic block C1101, and the elastic block C1101 releases its elasticity. The sliding plate 202 is inserted into the left slot to limit the protective plate 1001. Then, the farmer pushes the feeding bin 202 to slide to the right along the guide rail 201. The feeding bin 202 drives the lifting plate 203, rotating cover 204, extension cover 205, and extension plate 206 to move. Since the spring force of the compression spring is less than the spring force of the two blocking blocks 701, the T-shaped plate 601 is restricted by the two blocking blocks 701 and cannot move. During the sliding of the feeding bin 202, the T-shaped plate 601 pulls the lifting plate 203 downward along the feeding bin 202 through the pull rope B. The compression spring is compressed and the spring force gradually increases. The lifting plate 203 drives the rotating cover 204 and extension cover 205 to descend. The lifting plate 203, rotating cover 204, and extension cover 205 together compress the filling material. Feed is fed into the filling chamber 100, allowing it to fall evenly through the feeding opening into the cage 1 until the feeding chamber 202 slides to the right end of the guide rail 201. At this point, the feed in the filling chamber 100 has fallen evenly into the three breeding chambers in the cage 1 and onto the protective plate 1001, thus achieving precise quantitative feeding. At this time, the elastic force of the compression spring exceeds the elastic force of the two blocking blocks 701, and the compression spring releases, causing the lifting plate 203 to rise and slide. The lifting plate 203 causes the rotating cover 204 and the expansion cover 205 to rise and slide, and pulls the T-shaped plate 601 to slide to the right along the guide rail 201 via the pull rope B. The T-shaped plate 601 presses against the inclined surfaces of the two blocking blocks 701, and the two blocking blocks 701 elastically contract and slide, no longer limiting the T-shaped plate 601.The T-shaped plate 601 continues to slide and passes over the two blocking blocks 701. The two blocking blocks 701 elastically release and slide back to their original positions. Subsequently, the compression spring is fully released, causing the lifting plate 203 to rise and slide back to its original position. The lifting plate 203 drives the rotating cover 204 and the expansion cover 205 to rise and slide back to their original positions, and the T-shaped plate 601 slides through the pull rope A. Since the T-shaped plate 601 is now located inside the guide rail 201, it can smoothly insert into the feeding bin 202 to complete the reset. At this time, the feeding bin 202 is pulled out from the guide rail 201. The feeding bin 202 causes the T-shaped plate 601 to disengage from the guide rail 201. Then, the farmer pushes the baffle 801 backward. After sliding backward, the baffle 801 contacts and presses against the elastic locking block B901. The elastic locking block B901 contracts elastically under force and slides until the baffle 801 slides back to its original position, and the elastic locking block B901 aligns with the slot. The elastic release sliding insertion slot limits the position of baffle 801. At this time, the feed is blocked inside the cage 1 by baffle 801 and protective plate 1001 to prevent water from rushing into the cage 1 and causing the feed to be washed away when the cage 1 is lowered into the aquaculture pond. Then, the aquaculture personnel lower the cage 1 into the aquaculture pond and pull the protective plate 1001 to move it. The left slot of the protective plate 1001 squeezes the elastic block C1101. The elastic block C1101 elastically contracts and slides under force, and the feed on the protective plate 1001 is blocked by the inner wall of the cage 1 and stays inside the cage 1 until the right slot of the protective plate 1001 is aligned with the elastic block C1101. The elastic block C1101 elastically releases and slides into the right slot to limit the position of the protective plate 1001. At this time, the right side of the protective plate 1001 is aligned with the left side of the inner wall of the cage 1, and the feed is exposed inside the cage 1 to facilitate feeding by the sea cucumbers.

[0033] This completes the precise feeding of feed. Then, the insert plate 501 is inserted into the feeding bin 202, and the above steps are repeated to fill the filling bin 100 with feed. The above steps are repeated to feed the other cages 1. After feeding all the cages 1, the farmer reverses the torsion plate 207. The limiting groove of the torsion plate 207 squeezes the elastic block A301. The elastic block A301 is elastically contracted and slides under force. The reset spring releases and drives the extension plate 206 to slide to the left. The extension plate 206 drives the pull rope A to move, keeping the pull rope A taut. At the same time, the extension plate 206 pushes the extension cover 205 to slide to the left until the torsion plate 207 rotates and resets. The limiting groove of the torsion plate 207 is aligned with the elastic block A301. The elastic block A301 elastically releases and slides into the limiting groove of the torsion plate 207. The reset spring is fully released and drives the extension plate 206 to slide and reset. The extension plate 206 pushes the extension cover 205 to slide and reset, thus completing the reset of the entire device.
