Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of container aquaculture, and in particular to a container quantitative feeder. Background Art

[0002] Container farming technology is the process of aquaculture in containers that have been technologically modified.

[0003] This technology specifically targets the "pain points" and "difficulties" of traditional aquaculture. The traditional way of fishery production that relies solely on natural conditions has many hidden dangers. It is restricted by various environmental factors such as water sources, land, dissolved oxygen, and light. The ability to resist natural risks is poor, aquaculture wastewater affects the ecological environment, and there are food safety risks. It is urgent to change the way of fishery development and use scientific and technological innovation to promote modern aquaculture. Against this background, based on Guangdong's pioneering exploration and experiments, a relatively mature container circulating water green ecological aquaculture technology has been formed, but in the process of container aquaculture, there are still some problems to be solved, including how to feed the aquatic products in the container.

[0004] Chinese patent application 201821863924.4 discloses a feeder for fish farming in a container, including a bottom plate, a rotating seat fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the center of the rotating seat, a cam fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, a sliding rod slidably connected to the center of the bottom plate, a pressure block fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod located at the top of the bottom plate, a first spring fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod and located between the bottom plate and the pressure block, a mounting rod fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod located at the bottom of the bottom plate, a roller rotatably connected to the surface of the mounting rod, a rope fixedly connected to the surface of the roller, and a net bag fixedly connected to one end of the rope.

[0005] The scheme provides a feeder for fish farming in a container, wherein a rotating seat is fixedly connected to the top of a bottom plate, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the rotating seat, a cam is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, a sliding rod is slidably connected to the center of the bottom plate, one end of the sliding rod located at the top of the bottom plate is fixedly connected to a pressure block, a first spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod and located between the bottom plate and the pressure block, one end of the sliding rod located at the bottom of the bottom plate is fixedly connected to a mounting rod, a roller is rotatably connected to the surface of the mounting rod, a rope is fixedly connected to the surface of the roller, and a net bag is fixedly connected to one end of the rope. Feed is wrapped in the net bag and thrown into water, where the feed dissolves and suspends in the water, making it easy for fish to eat and avoiding the problem of feed easily sinking to the bottom. At the same time, the rotation of the cam drives the vibration of the mounting rod, which makes it easy for feed in the net bag to dissolve and improves the efficiency of feeding. However, observation of the instructions did not reveal that the scheme has made too many designs for controlling the amount of feeding.

[0006] Chinese patent application 202110236208.3 discloses a timed and quantitative feeding device for fish pond farming. The scheme gives a specific description of its feeding mechanism in paragraph 10 of the specification: "The feeding mechanism includes a rotating rod, a block, a receiving frame, a pressure block, a bottom cover, a guide rod and a second spring. The bottom of the driven gear is connected to the rotating rod, and the bottom end of the rotating rod passes through the partition and is connected to the block. The bottom end of the storage tank is located on one side of the two blocks and is respectively engaged with a receiving frame. The pressure block is fixed on one side of the receiving frame. The bottom end of the pressure block is rotated with the bottom cover, and the bottom cover is located at the bottom of the receiving frame. The guide rod is connected to the side of the receiving frame away from the pressure block. The other end of the guide rod extends to the inside of the bottom end of the storage tank, and the second spring is wound on the part of the guide rod located inside the bottom end of the storage tank. One end of the second spring is fixed to the guide rod, and the other end of the second spring is fixed to the inner wall of the storage tank."

[0007] When the scheme is in use, the feeding mechanism is arranged inside the storage box, and through the corresponding cam-like components and the spring clamping rod components, driven by the transmission mechanism, it is convenient to put feed into the fish pond in a timely and quantitative manner when in use, making the operation more convenient; that is: as the driven gear rotates, the rotating rod will be driven to rotate at the same time, and the rotation of the rotating rod will drive the resistance block to rotate. As the resistance block rotates, it will continuously squeeze and resist the pressure block, and the pressure block will move under pressure, thereby driving the receiving frame to move, and the movement of the receiving frame drives the guide rod to move, and the second spring is compressed at the same time, until the bottom end of the receiving frame is completely exposed, the bottom cover will automatically open under the action of gravity, and the quantitative feed stored in the receiving frame will automatically fall down, and the above operation will be repeated continuously, so that it is convenient to put feed into the fish pond in a timely and quantitative manner when in use.

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is: how to design a quantitative feeder with a different structure from the prior art and suitable for container farming. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The components of the present application implemented as described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] refer to Figure 1-3 A container quantitative feeder comprises a box body 1 and a storage tank 2 arranged on the top of the box body 1, a water inlet 3 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1, a distributing device 4 is connected under the storage tank 2, the distributing device 4 comprises a driving device 5 and a frame body 6, the frame body 6 is connected with the storage tank 2, a rotatable distributing disc 7 is arranged in the frame body 6, the driving device 5 drives the distributing disc 7 to rotate, a plurality of grooves 8 are evenly arranged on the edge of the distributing disc 7, and the edge of the distributing disc 7 is tightly fitted with the frame body 6 except for the groove 8, a discharging port 9 is arranged at the bottom of the frame body 6, and the width of the discharging port 9 is greater than or equal to the width of the groove 8;

[0028] And the position of the discharge port 9 corresponds to the position of the water inlet 3 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the working principle of the container quantitative feeder is as follows: the operator controls the distribution plate 7 to rotate through the driving device 5. As the distribution plate 7 rotates, the fish food in the storage tank 2 continuously falls into the empty groove 8 of the distribution plate 7. In addition, since the edge of the distribution plate 7, except for the groove 8, is tightly fitted with the frame 6, the fish food in the groove 8 will not flow out of the groove 8. When the groove 8 filled with fish food moves to the discharge port 9, the fish food slides out of the groove 8 and falls into the water.

[0030] At the same time, since the position of the discharge port 9 corresponds to the position of the water inlet 3, the fish is in a state of countercurrent flow during the feeding process. On the one hand, this can increase the amount of exercise of the fish. On the other hand, the countercurrent is in line with the habits of the fish. In the countercurrent state, more water flows through the fish gills, and the fish can obtain more oxygen from the water.

[0031] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the number of the grooves 8 is 3-12, and the spacing between the grooves 8 is the same. This design makes it easier for the user to control the amount of food fed by the feeder due to the same spacing.

[0032] As a further preference, the number of the grooves 8 is 12, and the spacing between the grooves 8 is the same; this design can increase the capacity of the distribution plate 7 for fish food and shorten the time interval for feeding; of course, in actual application, it is also necessary to consider the number of fish in the container and the food intake of different species of fish to change the number of grooves 8.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the fish food in the groove 8 from being unable to be completely discharged, the width of the discharge port 9 is equal to or greater than the width of the groove 8 and less than the distance between the two grooves 8. It should be noted that the purpose of the width of the discharge port 9 being less than the distance between the two grooves 8 is to ensure that only one fish food in a groove 8 flows out at a time, thereby improving the feeding accuracy. However, if the user does not have high requirements for feeding accuracy, the width of the discharge port 9 can be increased according to actual needs.

[0034] As a conventional technical means, a rotating shaft 10 is provided in the frame 6, the material distribution plate 7 is mounted on the rotating shaft 10, and the driving device 5 is a first motor, which drives the material distribution plate 7 to rotate around the rotating shaft 10 as the axis.

[0035] This embodiment takes into account that if the feeding is too concentrated, it may cause the fish to fight for it and cause the fish to bump into each other. Therefore, this embodiment has a divider 11 at the bottom of the discharge port 9. The divider 11 includes an input end and multiple output ends. The input end of the divider 11 is connected to the discharge port 9. The fish food flowing out of the groove 8 is separated by the divider 11 and falls down in a dispersed manner, thereby reducing the degree of aggregation of the fish food when feeding.

[0036] In actual application, a cover body 12 is provided on the top of the storage tank 2, and the cover body 12 is provided with a stirring rod 13 and a second motor for driving the stirring rod 13 to rotate. Through the continuous stirring of the stirring rod 13, the probability of fish food being blocked at the connection between the discharge tank and the distributing device 4 is reduced.

[0037] In summary, the feeder provided in the present application uses a storage tank and a distributing device arranged below the discharging tank so that the amount of material discharged by the feeder each time can correspond to the volume of the groove on the edge of the fish meal material. Therefore, the user can control the feeding amount by controlling the rotation angle or number of revolutions of the distributing plate to achieve quantitative feeding;

[0038] Furthermore, since the position of the discharge port corresponds to that of the water inlet, the fish can be in a countercurrent state during the feeding process, thereby increasing the amount of exercise of the fish and increasing the amount of oxygen the fish absorbs from the water.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
