Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture tools, and in particular to a mineral feed supplementer. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, minerals (such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, and zinc) are essential nutrients for livestock growth, development, reproduction, bone formation, immune function regulation, and overall metabolism, directly affecting their health and production performance. However, the basic feed that livestock consume daily often has insufficient mineral content or an unbalanced ratio. If targeted supplementation is lacking for a long period, it can easily lead to slow growth, decreased reproductive capacity, and reduced immunity in livestock, thereby affecting farming efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mineral supplementer that achieves overall stability through a multi-layered nested and precise limiting structure design. The nested cooperation between the fixed frame and the supplementary feeding frame, the bidirectional constraint of the limiting block and the limiting groove, and the fixing structure of the fixing nail and the groove effectively prevent the equipment from shaking, shifting, or tipping over, making it suitable for various aquaculture scenarios. The optimized sealing performance, achieved through the synergistic design of the soft cover, the first soft pad, the second soft pad, and the pressure cover, effectively blocks dust and rainwater from contaminating the feed, reduces component wear, and extends the equipment's service life. The combination design of the detachable traction pin and pull ring, along with the modular nested structure, reduces the difficulty and cost of feed addition, cleaning, and maintenance. Furthermore, the ability to nest supplementary feeding frames of different sizes on the fixed frame meets diverse and precise supplementary feeding needs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a mineral supplement device, comprising a fixed frame, an insert cylinder disposed inside the fixed frame, a supplementary feeding frame disposed inside the fixed frame, a sleeve disposed inside the supplementary feeding frame, the sleeve being disposed on the insert cylinder, a partition being disposed between the inner wall of the supplementary feeding frame and the sleeve, a connecting mechanism being disposed on the insert cylinder, and a soft cover being disposed on the connecting mechanism.

[0005] Preferably, the top of the insert is provided with a pressure cap, the bottom end of the pressure cap is in contact with the top end of the sleeve, and the connecting mechanism passes through the pressure cap.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a traction pin, which passes through the soft cover and the pressure cover in sequence and is inserted into the inside of the insert.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom surface of the soft cover is provided with a first soft pad, the first soft pad is sleeved on the traction pin, and the bottom surface of the first soft pad is in contact with the top surface of the pressure cover.

[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the soft cover is provided with a second soft pad, the second soft pad is sleeved on the traction pin, and the top surface of the second soft pad is in contact with the top of the traction pin.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the traction pin is connected to a pull ring for easy installation of the traction pin.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixed frame is provided with a limiting block, the outer wall of the feeding frame is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the fixing frame is provided with a groove, and a fixing nail for fixing the fixing frame is inserted into the groove.

[0013] Preferably, the partition divides the area between the inner wall of the feeding frame and the sleeve into two, three, or four equal parts.

[0014] Therefore, this invention employs the aforementioned mineral feeder, achieving overall stability through a multi-layered nesting and precise positioning structure design. The nesting and cooperation of the fixed frame and the feeder frame, the bidirectional constraint of the limiting block and the limiting groove, and the fixing structure of the fixing nail and the groove effectively prevent the equipment from shaking, shifting, or flipping, adapting to various aquaculture scenarios. The optimized sealing and protection performance, achieved through the synergistic design of the soft cover, the first soft pad, the second soft pad, and the pressure cover, effectively blocks dust and rainwater from contaminating the feed, reduces component wear, and extends the equipment's service life. The combination design of the detachable traction pin and pull ring, along with the modular nesting structure, reduces the operational difficulty and cost of feed addition, cleaning, and maintenance. Furthermore, the ability to nest different sizes of feeder frames on the fixed frame meets diverse and precise feeding needs.

A partition 5 is integrally formed between the inner wall of the supplementary feeding frame 3 and the side wall of the sleeve 4. There are three partitions 5, which divide the area between the inner wall of the supplementary feeding frame 3 and the sleeve 4 into three equal parts. A connecting mechanism is provided on the insert 2, and a soft cover 6 is connected to the insert 2 through the connecting mechanism. Preferably, the fixed frame 1 and the supplementary feeding frame 3 are made of orange polyethylene, and the soft cover 6 is made of wear-resistant rubber.

[0021] The top of the insert 2 is fitted with a pressure cap 7. The inner wall of the pressure cap 7 is provided with an internal thread. The top of the side wall of the insert 2 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the inner wall of the pressure cap 7. The pressure cap 7 is fitted onto the top of the insert 2 and is threadedly connected to the insert 2 through the internal thread. The bottom end of the pressure cap 7 is in contact with the top surface of the sleeve 4. The top surface of the pressure cap 7 is provided with a through hole. The connecting mechanism passes through the through hole on the top surface of the pressure cap 7.

[0022] The connecting mechanism includes a traction pin 8. A through hole is provided at the center of the soft cover 6, and a pin hole is provided inside the insert 2. The traction pin 8 passes through the through hole on the soft cover 6 and the through hole on the pressure cover 7 in sequence, and is inserted into the pin hole of the insert 2 to fix it to the insert 2.

[0023] A first soft pad 9 is fitted on the traction pin 8. The top surface of the first soft pad 9 is in contact with the bottom surface of the soft cover 6, and the bottom surface of the first soft pad 9 is in contact with the top surface of the pressure cover 7. Preferably, the first soft pad 9 is made of wear-resistant rubber.

[0024] A second soft pad 10 is fitted on the traction pin 8. The bottom surface of the second soft pad 10 is in contact with the top surface of the soft cover 6, and the top surface of the second soft pad 10 is in contact with the bottom surface of the top of the traction pin 8. Preferably, the second soft pad 10 is made of wear-resistant rubber.

[0025] A pin is inserted at the top of the traction pin 8, and the pull ring 11 is hinged to the traction pin 8 through the pin, and the pull ring 11 rotates axially along the top of the traction pin 8 through the pin.

[0026] The inner wall of the fixed frame 1 is integrally formed with a limiting block 12, and the outer wall of the feeding frame 3 is provided with a limiting groove 13 at a position that matches the limiting block 12, and the limiting block 12 is inserted into the inside of the limiting groove 13.

[0027] The top sidewall of the supplementary feeding frame 3 is integrally formed with an outer edge 14, and the bottom surface of the outer edge 14 overlaps the top surface of the fixed frame 1.

[0028] The outer wall of the fixed frame 1 has a groove 15, and a fixing nail 16 is inserted into the groove 15. The fixing nail 16 is used to fix the fixed frame 1 to the ground.

[0029] Working principle: The fixed frame 1 is anchored to the ground by means of the fixing nail 16 in the groove 15. Its internal limiting block 12 cooperates with the limiting groove 13 on the outer wall of the feeding frame 3. Combined with the structure of the outer edge 14 of the feeding frame 3 overlapping the top surface of the fixed frame 1, the feeding frame 3 is accurately positioned and stably assembled. The feeding frame 3 is fitted onto the integrally formed insert 2 of the fixed frame 1 through the sleeve 4. The three internal partitions 5 divide the area between the inner wall of the feeding frame 3 and the sleeve 4 into three equal parts, forming an independent feeding area. The soft cover 6 is inserted into the pin hole of the insert 2 and fixed by the traction pin 8 through the holes of the soft cover 6 and the pressure cover 7 in sequence. The pressure cover 7 is connected to the top of the insert 2 by the thread and presses the sleeve 4. At the same time, the first soft pad 9 on the traction pin 8 fits the soft cover 6 and the pressure cover 7, and the second soft pad 10 fits the soft cover 6 and the top of the traction pin 8 to ensure sealing and cushioning. The pull ring 11, which is hinged by a pin, can drive the traction pin 8 to be disassembled and assembled, so as to maintain the soft cover 6 and the feeding area. When cattle lick the minerals, because the soft cover 6 is made of rubber, the cattle can directly lift or lick the soft cover 6 to expose the feeding box 3 containing the minerals, and then lick the minerals inside the feeding box 3.

[0030] Example 2 like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the number of partitions 5 is set to two or four. Two partitions 5 divide the area between the inner wall of the feeding frame 3 and the sleeve 4 into two equal parts, and four partitions 5 divide the area between the inner wall of the feeding frame 3 and the sleeve 4 into four equal parts. Different sizes of feeding frames 3 can be nested on the fixed frame 1 to meet diverse and precise feeding needs.

[0031] Working principle: The fixed frame 1 is anchored to the ground by means of the fixing nail 16 in the groove 15. Its internal limiting block 12 cooperates with the limiting groove 13 on the outer wall of the feeding frame 3. Combined with the structure of the outer edge 14 of the feeding frame 3 overlapping the top surface of the fixed frame 1, the feeding frame 3 is accurately positioned and stably assembled. The feeding frame 3 is fitted onto the integrally formed insert 2 of the fixed frame 1 through the sleeve 4. Two or four partitions 5 inside divide the area between the inner wall of the feeding frame 3 and the sleeve 4 into two or four equal parts, forming an independent feeding area. The soft cover 6 is inserted into the pin hole of the insert 2 and fixed by the traction pin 8 through the holes of the soft cover 6 and the pressure cover 7 in sequence. The pressure cover 7 is connected to the top of the insert 2 by the thread and presses the sleeve 4. At the same time, the first soft pad 9 on the traction pin 8 fits the soft cover 6 and the pressure cover 7, and the second soft pad 10 fits the soft cover 6 and the top of the traction pin 8 to ensure sealing and cushioning. The pull ring 11, which is hinged by a pin, can drive the traction pin 8 to be disassembled and assembled, so as to maintain the soft cover 6 and the feeding area. When cattle lick the minerals, because the soft cover 6 is made of rubber, the cattle can directly lift or lick the soft cover 6 to expose the feeding box 3 containing the minerals, and then lick the minerals inside the feeding box 3.

[0032] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1, the pin hole inside the insert 2 is provided with an internal thread, and the side wall of the traction pin 8 is provided with an external thread. The traction pin 8 is inserted into the inside of the pin hole and is threadedly connected to the insert 2 through the external thread.

[0033] Working principle: The fixed frame 1 is anchored to the ground by means of the fixing nail 16 in the groove 15. Its internal limiting block 12 cooperates with the limiting groove 13 on the outer wall of the feeding frame 3. Combined with the structure of the outer edge 14 of the feeding frame 3 overlapping the top surface of the fixed frame 1, the feeding frame 3 is accurately positioned and stably assembled. The feeding frame 3 is fitted onto the integrally formed insert 2 of the fixed frame 1 through the sleeve 4. The three internal partitions 5 divide the area between the inner wall of the feeding frame 3 and the sleeve 4 into three equal parts, forming an independent feeding area. The soft cover 6 is inserted into the pin hole of the insert 2 by the traction pin 8 through the holes of the soft cover 6 and the pressure cover 7, and is threadedly connected to the insert 2. The pressure cover 7 is threadedly connected to the top of the insert 2 and presses the sleeve 4. At the same time, the first soft pad 9 on the traction pin 8 fits the soft cover 6 and the pressure cover 7, and the second soft pad 10 fits the soft cover 6 and the top of the traction pin 8 to ensure sealing and cushioning. The pull ring 11, which is hinged by a pin, can drive the traction pin 8 to be disassembled and assembled, so as to maintain the soft cover 6 and the feeding area. When cattle lick the minerals, because the soft cover 6 is made of rubber, the cattle can directly lift or lick the soft cover 6 to expose the feeding box 3 containing the minerals, and then lick the minerals inside the feeding box 3.

[0034] The mineral supplementer provided by this invention achieves overall stability through a multi-layered nested and precise limiting structure design. The nested cooperation between the fixed frame 1 and the supplementary feeding frame 3, the bidirectional constraint of the limiting block 12 and the limiting groove 13, and the fixing structure of the fixing nail 16 and the groove 15 can effectively prevent the equipment from shaking, shifting, or flipping, making it suitable for various breeding scenarios. By relying on the synergistic design of the soft cover 6, the first soft pad 9, the second soft pad 10, and the pressure cover 7 to optimize the sealing and protection performance, it can block dust, rainwater, and other contaminants from polluting the feed, reduce component wear, and extend the service life of the equipment. The combination design of the detachable traction pin 8 and the pull ring 11 and the modular nested structure reduce the difficulty and cost of feed addition, cleaning, and maintenance. Different sizes of supplementary feeding frames 3 can be nested on the fixed frame 1 to meet diverse and precise supplementary feeding needs.
