Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural and fishery equipment, and in particular to an automatic fish feed feeding machine. Background Art

[0002] For large-scale fish farming systems (for example, farming fish in fish tanks), currently, fish feed is generally fed manually to each fish tank.

[0047] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0048] Some embodiments of the present application provide an automatic fish feed feeding machine to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology section, namely, the high labor intensity of manual feed transportation and the non-uniform amount of fish feed fed.

[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 6 Some embodiments of the present application provide an automatic fish feed feeding machine 100, including: a frame 101, a feeding hopper 102, a roller 103, a driving motor, and an electric control valve 104.

[0050] Among them, the feeding hopper 102 is installed on the frame 101, which is used to place fish feed. Specifically, the feeding hopper 102 is provided with a accommodating chamber 102a for accommodating fish feed, and the upper part of the accommodating chamber 102a is open, so that the fish feed can be put into the accommodating chamber 102a from the upper part of the feeding hopper 102. A discharge port 102b connected to the accommodating chamber 102a is provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper 102 to connect the accommodating chamber 102a and the external space of the feeding hopper through the discharge port 102b, so that the fish feed can be removed from the bottom of the accommodating chamber 102a. A plurality of rollers 103 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame 101 to drive the frame 101 to move during operation. A drive motor is fixed to the frame 101 and connected to the roller 103 to drive the roller 103 to work, and the drive motor is not shown in the accompanying drawings. The electric control valve 104 is fixed to the discharge port 102b of the feeding hopper 102 to control the connection and disconnection between the discharge port 102b and the outside of the feeding hopper through the electric control valve 104. The electric control valve 104 can be, for example, an electric butterfly valve.

[0051] By adopting the above scheme, the driving motor can be used to drive the roller 103 to roll, so that the feeding hopper 102 is moved to the vicinity of the fish tank, and then the electric control valve 104 is opened, and the fish feed can fall out from the discharge port 102b. Of course, at this time, the shape of the discharge port 102b can be set to be above the fish tank, so that the fish feed falls into the fish tank. Since the fish feed can be placed in the accommodating chamber 102a during operation, there is no need to manually feed the feed to each fish tank, which reduces the labor intensity. In addition, the feeding amount of the fish feed can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the electric control valve 104 to ensure that the feeding amount of the feed in each fish tank is relatively uniform.

[0052] For optional solutions, refer to Figure 5The automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 further includes an infrared sensor 105. The infrared sensor 105 is disposed at one end of the bottom of the frame 101 along the first straight line L1. At this time, a marker that can be recognized by the infrared sensor 105 can be disposed in the area around the fish tank, such as drawing a line on the ground next to the fish tank, and the infrared sensor 105 recognizes the marker to control the moving track of the roller 103, so that the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 can move to the vicinity of each fish tank along a preset moving track.

[0053] In an optional solution, the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 further includes: a barcode scanner 106. The barcode scanner 106 is disposed at one end of the bottom of the frame 101 along the direction of a second straight line L2 different from the first straight line L1. During the movement of the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 along a predetermined route, another type of identifier that can be identified by the barcode scanner 106 can be disposed on the fish tank. For example, a barcode can be disposed on the fish tank, and correspondingly, the barcode scanner 106 can be a laser barcode scanner 106, etc., for identifying the barcode. When the barcode scanner 106 identifies such an identifier, the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 stops moving, thereby feeding fish feed into the fish tank when the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 is relatively stationary.

[0054] In a further solution, the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2 are perpendicular to each other. For example, the route of the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 can be set as a straight line, and the fish tank is placed along the straight line to the side of the route of the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100, so that the infrared sensor 105 identifies the route, and the barcode scanner 106 identifies the position where the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 stops moving and feeds fish feed, thereby realizing automatic feeding of fish feed.

[0055] It should be noted that a power supply, a control circuit, etc. may be provided on the frame 101 of the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 to supply power to electrical components such as a drive motor, an infrared sensor 105, a barcode scanner 106, etc. on the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100, and to control the start and stop of the electrical components. These power supplies and control circuits are not shown in the drawings.

[0056] In an optional solution, the fish feed automatic feeding machine 100 further includes: a bottom plate 107, a fan blade 108, and a rotating drive member 109. The bottom plate 107 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding bucket and is located outside the accommodating chamber 102a. The rotating drive member 109 is connected to the bottom plate 107 to drive the bottom plate 107 to rotate, and the rotating drive member 109 can be a motor, for example. A plurality of fan blades 108 are circumferentially distributed and arranged at one end of the bottom plate 107 close to the feeding bucket. The fan blades 108 are located between the bottom plate 107 and the discharge port 102b.

[0057] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The length direction of the fan blade 108 is inclined to the rotation center line L3 of the base plate 107.

[0058] By adopting the above scheme, the bottom plate 107 can be used to block the fish feed falling from the discharge port 102b, and the rotating driving member 109 drives the fan blades 108 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the fish feed is scattered into the fish tank, which can expand the area for feeding. Moreover, the rotation speed of the fan blades 108 can be controlled to make the fish feed fall everywhere in the fish tank.

[0059] In an optional solution, the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 further includes: a lifting platform 110 and a lifting drive 111. The feeding hopper 102 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 110. The lifting platform 110 is slidably arranged on the frame 101 so that the feeding hopper and the frame 101 are slidably connected. The lifting drive 111 is arranged between the lifting platform 110 and the frame 101 to drive the lifting platform 110 to slide relative to the frame 101. By arranging the lifting platform 110 and the lifting drive 111, the height of the feeding hopper 102 is adjustable, which is convenient for the user to put the fish feed into the feeding hopper 102, and is also convenient for adjusting the feeding hopper 102 to a suitable height according to the height of the fish tank. The lifting drive 111 can be, for example, an electric telescopic rod.

[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 also includes: a first support rod 112, a second support rod 113, and a transverse axis 114. The first support rod 112 and the second support rod 113 are both located between the lifting platform 110 and the frame 101. One end of the first support rod 112 is slidably connected to the frame 101 and is rotatably connected to the frame 101. The other end of the first support rod 112 is hinged to the lifting platform 110. One end of the second support rod 113 is slidably connected to the lifting platform 110 and is rotatably connected to the lifting platform 110. The other end of the second support rod 113 is hinged to the frame 101. The transverse axis 114 is inserted in the middle of the first support rod 112 and the second support rod 113 so that the first support rod 112 and the second support rod 113 are rotatably connected around the transverse axis 114. The lifting drive member 111 is connected between the transverse axis 114 and the frame 101 to drive the transverse axis 114 to move relative to the frame 101 so as to slide the lifting platform 110 relative to the frame 101. For example, the lifting drive member 111 is an electric telescopic rod, which includes a movable part and a fixed part that are relatively slidably arranged, wherein the movable part is rotatably connected to the horizontal axis 114, and the fixed part is rotatably connected to the frame 101.

[0061] More specifically, the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 further includes: a first sliding shaft 115 and a second sliding shaft 116. Among them, a first support rod 112 and a second support rod 113 are provided on both sides of the lifting platform 110. The first sliding shaft 115 is inserted between the two first support rods 112 on both sides of the lifting platform 110 so that the first support rod 112 and the first sliding shaft 115 are rotatably connected. First sliding grooves 110a are provided on both sides of the bottom of the lifting platform 110, and the first support rod 112 is inserted into the first sliding groove 110a and slidably arranged in the first sliding groove 110a so that the first support rod 112 is slidably connected to the lifting platform 110. The second sliding shaft 116 is inserted between the two second support rods 113 on both sides of the lifting platform 110 so that the second support rod 113 and the second sliding shaft 116 are rotatably connected. Second slide grooves 101 a are provided on both sides of the frame 101 , and the second support rods 113 are inserted into the second slide grooves 101 a and slidably disposed in the second slide grooves 101 a so that the second support rods 113 are slidably connected to the frame 101 .

[0062] With the above solution, the lifting platform 110, the first support rod 112, the second support rod 113, the horizontal axis 114, the first sliding axis 115, the second sliding axis 116, etc. constitute a scissor-type lifting mechanism, which can enable the feeding hopper 102 to move up and down stably driven by the lifting drive member 111.

[0063] In an optional solution, the roller 103 is a Mecanum wheel. The Mecanum wheel enables the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 to perform operations such as turning around and turning on the spot, so that the orientation of the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 can be adjusted in a relatively compact space. Specifically, for example, when there is a turn in the route of the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100, the turning track of the automatic fish feed feeding machine 100 is shorter due to the use of the Mecanum wheel, so that more fish tanks can be set near the corner without worrying that the fish tanks here are difficult to be recognized by the barcode scanner 106.

[0064] The above descriptions are only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept.
