DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an automatic feeding device for factory aquaculture includes a mobile body 1, a self-locking universal wheel is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mobile body 1, so that the mobile body 1 can be moved to a suitable position, and the mobile body 1 can be fixed after moving to a suitable position, so that the position of the mobile body 1 does not move, a time relay 2 and a controller 3 are fixedly installed on the top side of the mobile body 1, an L-shaped bracket 4 with a hollow structure inside is fixedly installed on the top side of the mobile body 1, an extension rod 5 is slidably connected inside the L-shaped bracket 4, one end of the extension rod 5 is fixedly connected to a material barrel 6, a stirring structure 7 is provided on the material barrel 6, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the material barrel 6 8, a solenoid valve 9 is provided on the discharge pipe 8, an electric push rod 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped bracket 4, and a push plate 11 fixedly connected to the extension rod 5 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 10, and a support plate 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the push plate 11, and a spreading pipe 13 is rotatably connected to one side of the support plate 12 through a bearing, and a receiving hopper 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the spreading pipe 13, and a motor 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the push plate 11, and a first bevel gear 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 15, and a second bevel gear 17 connected to the spreading pipe 13 is meshed on the outer surface of the first bevel gear 16. When performing the feeding operation, the mobile body 1 is first moved to the aquaculture factory. The position of the breeding pool is set, and then the electric push rod 10 is started to make the push plate 11 drive the extension rod 5 to move. At this time, the material barrel 6 and the material spreading pipe 13 move accordingly. The material spreading pipe 13 is adjusted to a suitable position according to the actual situation during use, and the start time and interval start time of the motor 15 are set through the time relay 2. For example, if the start time of the motor 15 is set to 10s, and the interval start time of the motor 15 is set to 2h, the motor 15 is started once every two hours, and the start time of the motor 15 is 10s. When the start time of the motor 15 is reached, the time relay 2 transmits a signal to the controller 3, and the controller 3 will control the start of the motor 15 and control the solenoid valve 9 is opened. With the opening of the solenoid valve 9, the feed inside the barrel 6 is transported to the inside of the receiving hopper 14 through the discharge pipe 8, and then the feed is discharged through the spreading pipe 13. With the start of the motor 15, the spreading pipe 13 is rotated under the transmission action of the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 17, so that the spreading pipe 13 evenly spreads the feed into the water. After the motor 15 has worked for a period of time, the time relay 2 transmits a signal to the controller 3. At this time, the controller 3 will control the motor 15 to stop working and control the solenoid valve 9 to close, so that the feed no longer enters the inside of the receiving hopper 14, and so on and so forth, thereby automatically feeding the aquatic creatures farmed in aquatic factories.

[0023] As an optional technical solution of the present invention, the stirring structure 7 includes a stirring motor 701, a rotating shaft 702 and a stirring rod 703. The stirring motor 701 is fixedly installed on the top side of the material barrel 6. The output end of the stirring motor 701 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 702 located inside the material barrel 6. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 702 is fixedly connected to a plurality of stirring rods 703. When the controller 3 controls the solenoid valve 9 to open, the controller 3 will control the stirring motor 701 to start, so that the rotating shaft 702 drives the stirring rod 703 to rotate and stir the feed, thereby avoiding the situation where the feed blocks the discharge pipe 8. When the controller 3 controls the motor 15 to stop, the controller 3 will control the stirring motor 701 to stop working.

[0024] As an optional technical solution of the present utility model, one side of the L-shaped bracket 4 is fixedly connected to a support seat 18, and the electric push rod 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the support seat 18, which supports the electric push rod 10 and ensures the stability of the electric push rod 10.

[0025] As an optional technical solution of the utility model, a battery 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the mobile body 1, and the time relay 2, the controller 3, the electric push rod 10, the motor 15 and the stirring motor 701 are all electrically connected to the battery 19, and the battery 19 provides the necessary power for the time relay 2, the controller 3, the electric push rod 10, the motor 15 and the stirring motor 701 to work.

[0026] As an optional technical solution of the present utility model, the time relay 2 is electrically connected to the controller 3, the controller 3 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 9, the controller 3 is electrically connected to the motor 15, and the controller 3 is electrically connected to the stirring motor 701, so that the controller 3 can control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 9, the motor 15 and the stirring motor 701 according to the signal of the time relay 2.

[0027] As an optional technical solution of the present invention, a portion of the discharge pipe 8 is located inside the receiving hopper 14 , and the outer diameter of the discharge pipe 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the receiving hopper 14 , so that all the feed discharged through the discharge pipe 8 can enter the inside of the receiving hopper 14 .

[0028] As an optional technical solution of the present invention, the bottom of the feeding pipe 13 is bent, and the bending angle of the feeding pipe 13 is an obtuse angle, so that the feeding pipe 13 can transport the feed into the water more evenly.

[0029] An automatic feeding device for aquaculture factory farming, the working principle is as follows:

[0030] When the start time of the motor 15 is reached, the time relay 2 transmits a signal to the controller 3, and the controller 3 will control the motor 15 to start and control the solenoid valve 9 to open. As the solenoid valve 9 is opened, the feed inside the barrel 6 is transported to the inside of the receiving hopper 14 through the discharge pipe 8, and then the feed is discharged through the spreading pipe 13. As the motor 15 is started, the spreading pipe 13 is rotated under the transmission action of the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 17, so that the spreading pipe 13 evenly spreads the feed into the water. After the motor 15 has worked for a period of time, the time relay 2 transmits a signal to the controller 3, and the controller 3 will control the motor 15 to stop working and control the solenoid valve 9 to close, so that the feed no longer enters the inside of the receiving hopper 14, completing an automatic feeding operation for aquatic organisms.
