Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of weighing devices, and more specifically, to a weighing control device for a feed tower in an aquaculture industry. Background Art

[0002] In the livestock industry, a feed tower (also called a silo or feed warehouse) refers to a large container or structure used to store feed or other materials required for farming. These structures are usually designed to safely and effectively store large amounts of feed for long-term use by farmed animals. During the breeding process, livestock and poultry need to be fed regularly and quantitatively according to their growth conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to weigh the feed and then feed it quantitatively.

[0003] Existing feed towers in the breeding industry generally use metering cylinders to weigh and quantitatively feed the feed when transporting feed. Traditional metering cylinders can usually only measure feed within a certain range, with relatively low accuracy, and it is difficult to fully ensure the amount of feed put in each time, resulting in some livestock and poultry getting less feed than required, while other parts may get too much feed, affecting the balance and stability of feeding effects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a weighing control device for aquaculture material towers, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A weighing control device for a feed tower in aquaculture, comprising a feed tower, a feed discharge port is connected to the bottom of the feed tower, and a weighing component is arranged below the feed discharge port;

[0007] The weighing assembly includes a weighing bin, which is fixedly connected to the material tower. Two V-shaped plates are arranged inside the weighing bin. The two V-shaped plates are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the weighing bin. Two slide grooves are arranged on the inner sides of the two V-shaped plates. The insides of each of the two slide grooves are slidably connected with a weighing plate.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the weighing component weighs and measures the feed for livestock and poultry, so that the amount of feed fed to livestock and poultry is consistent, which helps to maintain the nutritional balance and health of livestock and poultry, promote their good growth and development, and avoid increase in feed costs due to waste or shortage.

[0009] Furthermore, the weighing assembly also includes connecting rods, the number of which is set to two, the two connecting rods are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding weighing plates, and a weighing sensor is provided on the inner side of each V-shaped plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a group of springs is fixedly connected to the inner side of each slide groove, the number of each group of springs is set to be multiple, and the top of each group of springs is fixedly connected to the corresponding weighing plate.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, when the weight of the feed on the weighing plate is greater than the elastic force of the spring, the weighing plate will move downward. When the feed falls, the elastic force of the spring will drive the weighing plate to move up for weighing again.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of each weighing plate are fixedly connected to limit plates, and every two limit plates are respectively located on the inner sides of the corresponding V-shaped plates.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the limit plate limits the falling range of the feed, preventing the feed from falling accidentally or deviating from the weighing area, thereby ensuring that the weighing sensor can accurately detect and measure the weight of the feed.

[0015] Furthermore, the two V-shaped plates are fixedly connected, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected inside the two V-shaped plates.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the weighing bin, a motor is provided on the rear side of the weighing bin, and one end of the rotating rod extends through the outside of the weighing bin and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod drives the V-shaped plate with feed inside to rotate to the position of the discharge port, so that the feed on the V-shaped plate falls from the discharge port.

[0018] Furthermore, a feed port is provided at the top of the weighing bin, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the weighing bin.

[0019] Furthermore, a feeding port is provided at the top of the material tower, and a solenoid valve is provided inside the feeding port.

[0020] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] (1) The utility model weighs and measures the feed for livestock and poultry by setting a weighing component, so that the amount of feed fed to livestock and poultry is consistent, which helps to maintain the nutritional balance and health of livestock and poultry, promote their good growth and development, and avoid the increase of feed costs due to waste or shortage;

[0022] (2) The limit plate of the utility model limits the falling range of the feed, preventing the feed from falling by mistake or deviating from the weighing area, thereby ensuring that the weighing sensor can accurately detect and measure the weight of the feed.

[0028] The technical solutions 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 only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 A weighing control device for a feed tower in aquaculture includes a feed tower 1, a feed outlet 2 is connected to the bottom of the feed tower 1, and a weighing component is provided below the feed outlet 2;

[0030] The weighing assembly includes a weighing bin 3, which is fixedly connected to the material tower 1. Two V-shaped plates 6 are arranged inside the weighing bin 3. The two V-shaped plates 6 are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the weighing bin 3. Two slide grooves 8 are provided on the inner sides of the two V-shaped plates 6. A weighing plate 10 is slidably connected to the inside of each two slide grooves 8.

[0031] By setting the weighing component, the feed fed to livestock and poultry is weighed and measured to ensure that the amount of feed fed to livestock and poultry is consistent. Specifically, when feeding, the feed falls onto the weighing plate 10, and the weighing plate 10 slides downward in the slide 8, so that the connecting rod 11 at the bottom moves downward. When the weighing sensor 14 senses the force of the connecting rod 11, the magnitude of the force is proportional to the weight of the feed. The weight of the feed fed each time can be accurately measured to ensure that each livestock and poultry obtains an appropriate amount of feed, which helps maintain the nutritional balance and health of livestock and poultry, promotes their good growth and development, and avoids the increase in feed costs due to waste or insufficiency.

[0032] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4The weighing assembly also includes a connecting rod 11, the number of which is set to two, and the two connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the corresponding weighing plates 10 respectively. A weighing sensor 14 is provided on the inner side of each V-shaped plate 6, and a group of springs 13 are fixedly connected to the inner side of each slide groove 8. The number of each group of springs 13 is set to multiple, and the top of each group of springs 13 is fixedly connected to the corresponding weighing plate 10 respectively. Both ends of each weighing plate 10 are fixedly connected to a limit plate 9, and each two limit plates 9 are respectively located on the inner side of the corresponding V-shaped plate 6.

[0033] When the weight of the feed on the weighing plate 10 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 13, the weighing plate 10 will move downwards. When the feed falls, the elastic force of the spring 13 will drive the weighing plate 10 to move upwards for weighing again.

[0034] The limit plate 9 limits the falling range of the feed to prevent the feed from accidentally falling or deviating from the weighing area, thereby ensuring that the weighing sensor 14 can accurately detect and measure the weight of the feed.

[0035] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 , two V-shaped plates 6 are fixedly connected, and a rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected inside the two V-shaped plates 6. The rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the weighing bin 3. A motor 4 is provided on the rear side of the weighing bin 3. One end of the rotating rod 7 extends through and extends to the outside of the weighing bin 3 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4. A feed port 5 is provided on the top of the weighing bin 3, and a discharge port 12 is provided on the bottom of the weighing bin 3. A feeding port 15 is provided on the top of the material tower 1, and a solenoid valve is provided inside the discharge port 2.

[0036] When feeding is required, the solenoid valve of the feed port 2 is opened, and when the weighing sensor 14 monitors the weight change on the weighing plate 10 or the weighing area, when it detects that the weight of the feed reaches the preset target value, the sensor will send a signal to the external control system (not shown in the figure) to instruct the solenoid valve to close.

[0037] After closing, the motor 4 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate, and the rotating rod 7 drives the V-shaped plate 6 with feed inside to rotate to the position of the discharge port 12, so that the feed on the V-shaped plate 6 falls from the discharge port 12.

[0038] Working principle: when feeding, the feed falls onto the weighing plate 10, and the weighing plate 10 slides downward in the chute 8. When the weight of the feed on the weighing plate 10 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 13, the weighing plate 10 will move downward, thereby causing the connecting rod 11 at the bottom to move downward. When the weighing sensor 14 senses the force of the connecting rod 11, the limit plate 9 limits the falling range of the feed to prevent the feed from falling by mistake or deviating from the weighing area. The weighing sensor 14 monitors the weight change on the weighing plate 10 or the weighing area. When it is detected that the weight of the feed reaches the preset target value, the sensor will send a signal to the external control system (not shown in the figure) to indicate that the solenoid valve is closed. After closing, the motor 4 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate, and the rotating rod 7 rotates to drive the V-shaped plate 6 with feed inside to rotate to the position of the discharge port 12, so that the feed on the V-shaped plate 6 falls from the discharge port 12. The weighing bin 3 can accurately measure the weight of the feed fed each time to ensure that each livestock and poultry obtains an appropriate amount of feed.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
