Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture, in particular to a high-precision modular automatic feeding machine used in factory aquaculture workshops. Background Art
[0002] In shrimp pond farming, in order to reduce the shrimp's food competition awareness and increase the shrimp's growth rate, a feeding method of small and frequent meals is generally adopted. Using manual feeding to feed ponds has problems such as high labor costs, high work intensity, slow feeding speed, and insufficient feeding uniformity. Therefore, feeding machines are often used for feeding in large-scale farming. In addition, the timed and quantitative feeding method of the feeding machine can also be coordinated with other automated machines.
[0003] At present, the free-fall feeders or wind-blown feeders are mainly used in the market. The traditional free-fall feeders mainly feed by direct falling or vibration.

[0028] Below, in conjunction with specific implementation methods, the utility model is further described:
[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1-5 An automatic feeding machine for aquaculture shown in the figure includes a storage member 10, a discharge member 20 and a fan 50. The storage member 10 has a storage cavity 11 and a discharge port 12. The discharge member 20 has a feed end and a discharge end. The feed end is connected and conducted with the discharge port 12. The discharge end has a spreading port 2211. In addition, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding shaft 30 and a driving member 40. One end of the feeding shaft 30 is rotatably installed in the storage member 10, and the other end of the feeding shaft 30 extends out of the storage member 10 and is connected to the driving member 40. The driving member 40 is used to drive the feeding shaft 30 to rotate, and a spiral guide part 31 is provided on the feeding shaft 30. The spiral guide part 31 can guide the feed to rotate to the discharge port 12 when the feeding shaft 30 rotates. Then the fan 50 is installed at the spreading port 2211 and is used to guide the airflow to blow to the feed.
[0032] On the basis of the above structure, during assembly, the discharge port 12 of the material storage member 10 is connected to the feed end of the discharge member 20, and then the feed shaft 30 is set in the material storage member 10, and one end of it is extended to the discharge port 12, and the other end is extended to the outside to connect with the driving member 40, so that when the external driving member 40 is turned on, it can drive the feed shaft 30 to rotate, thereby driving the spiral guide part 31 on the feed shaft 30 to rotate together. When the spiral guide part 31 rotates, it can push the feed from the storage cavity 11 to the discharge port 12, and the feed can fall into the discharge member 20 from the discharge port 12, and then the wind force released by the rotation of the fan 50 at the spreading port 2211 will blow the feed evenly to the designated area.
[0033] Specifically, when feeding is required, the external controller can be used to control the drive member 40 to start. The drive member 40 drives the feed shaft 30 to rotate, thereby driving the spiral guide part 31 to rotate to push the feed to the discharge port 12 and drop it into the feed accumulation in the discharge member 20. At this time, the fan 50 can be turned on and started. The fan 50 rotates to generate airflow to enter the discharge port 12 of the discharge member 20. Since the airflow itself has fluidity and dispersion, when it carries the feed, the feed will naturally disperse with the flow of the airflow. This dispersion allows the feed to be evenly distributed in the target area and expands the feeding range to a certain extent. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of local accumulation or excessive thinning during the feed delivery process, so that the feed can be delivered evenly.
[0034] In addition, the spiral guide portion 31 can be a spiral blade or a spiral groove processed on the feed shaft 30, and the feed shaft 30 can be formed by a spiral shaft or a rotating shaft. Through the design of spiral structures such as spiral blades or spiral grooves, the spiral guide portion 31 can effectively push the feed along the direction of the feed shaft 30 when rotating, and due to factors such as the spiral angle formed between the spiral blades or spiral grooves and the feed shaft 30 and the pitch between the spiral blades and other structures, the moving speed and direction of the feed on the spiral blades will be affected, thereby achieving precise control of the amount of feed output, that is, the amount of feed output is precisely controlled by the spiral guide portion 31, so that the feed can be more accurately and evenly discharged.
[0035] Therefore, when the automatic aquaculture feeding machine in this embodiment is used, the feed can be fed into the discharge member 20 along the discharge port 12 according to the set weight and the amount required for each feed, and the fan 50 can be started at a specified time so that a fixed amount of feed is sprayed out through the discharge port 12 by wind and falls evenly into the pond, thereby realizing the fully automatic feeding operation of the shrimp pond, with accurate and uniform feeding and a large range, and the drive component is hung outside the storage component to avoid the electronic control components from being damp or contaminated by feed, and also making maintenance convenient and disassembly and assembly convenient.
[0036] It should be noted that the material storage member 10 can be formed by a barrel or shell with a cavity, and the material discharging member 20 can be formed by a tubular or cylindrical structure.
[0037] In addition, the fan 50 can use an existing centrifugal fan 50. During assembly, it can be installed through a pipeline or directly at a position of the discharge member 20 close to the discharge port 12, so that the fan 50 can blow the feed out of the discharge port 12 when started, and the driving member 40 can use a driving motor. During assembly, the power output end of the driving motor is connected to the feed shaft 30.
[0038] Furthermore, a plurality of spiral blades are provided on the feeding shaft 30 , and the spiral blades are spirally extended along the axial direction of the feeding shaft 30 , and the spiral blades form the spiral guide portion 31 .
[0039] Specifically, the spiral guide portion 31 in this embodiment can be formed by a plurality of spiral blades arranged on the feed shaft 30. The feed shaft 30 is installed at the bottom of the storage chamber 11 and extends along the radial direction of the storage chamber 11 to the discharge port 12. The spiral blades are extended in an axial direction of the feed shaft 30 so that the entire spiral blade can pass through the entire storage chamber 11, so that the feed in the storage chamber 11 can be pushed to the discharge port 12 when it rotates.
[0040] Furthermore, the discharge member 20 includes a feed pipe 21 and a discharge pipe 22. One end of the feed pipe 21 is perpendicular to and connected to the discharge pipe 22, and the other end of the feed pipe 21 is connected to the discharge port 12. The feed pipe 21 is formed as a feed end, the discharge pipe 22 is formed as a discharge end, and the material spreading port 2211 is formed on the discharge pipe 22.
[0041] Specifically, during assembly, the feed pipe 21 can be placed vertically and its two ends can be vertically connected to the discharge pipe 22 and the discharge port 12 respectively, so that when the feed in the storage chamber 11 is pushed to the discharge port 12 by the spiral blade, since the feed pipe 21 is vertical, the feed can automatically fall into the discharge pipe 22 due to its own gravity when it is guided out of the discharge port 12, thereby reducing the risk of feed accumulation at the discharge port 12 and making the structure more practical.
[0042] It should be noted that the feed pipe 21 can be connected to the discharge pipe 22 or the discharge port 12 by snap-fit connection or through a connecting pipe. Of course, the feed pipe 21 can also be integrally formed on the discharge pipe 22 .
[0043] Preferably, an air inlet pipe 51 is further provided in this embodiment. During assembly, one end of the air inlet pipe 51 is connected to the fan 50, and the other end of the air inlet pipe 51 is connected to the discharge pipe 22, so that the wind force generated by the fan 50 can be introduced into the discharge pipe 22 through the air inlet pipe 51. Moreover, the fan 50 is installed outside the discharge pipe 22. If the fan 50 needs maintenance and repair at a later time, disassembly and assembly is also more convenient.
[0044] Furthermore, an outlet is provided at one end of the feeding pipe 21 close to the discharging pipe 22, and the outlet is inclined from bottom to top toward the material storage member 10 and connected to the discharging pipe 22. A first cover plate 211 is also provided at the outlet, and the first cover plate 211 can open or close the outlet when subjected to force.
[0045] On the basis of this structure, during assembly, the outlet is connected to the discharge pipe 22 so that the feed can fall into the feed pipe 21 through the outlet 12. Due to its own gravity, the feed can push the first cover plate 211 open to be introduced into the discharge pipe 22. Moreover, since the outlet is inclined from bottom to top toward the storage member 10, the first cover plate 211 can be arranged along the inclined direction of the outlet, so that the first cover plate 211 can be arranged at an angle to the discharge pipe 22. In this way, when the fan 50 is turned on and the wind enters the discharge pipe 22, the first cover plate 211 can be driven by the wind to seal the outlet, thereby reducing the risk of the wind blowing the feed back into the feed pipe 21, causing some of the feed to become moldy and deteriorate due to being retained in the machine for a long time.
[0046] In addition, in the present embodiment, the feed pipe 21 can be connected to the feed port of the material storage member 10 through the curved pipe 23. During assembly, the two ends of the curved pipe 23 can be respectively embedded or connected to the feed pipe 21 and the material storage member 10 using connecting parts (such as screws or flanges, etc.), so that the feed pipe 21 is connected to the discharge port 12 through the curved pipe 23. Since the curved pipe 23 is in an arc shape, an arc guide surface is formed at the connection between the discharge port 12 and the feed pipe 21. In this way, the feed at the discharge port 12 can slide into the feed pipe 21 through the arc guide, making the feed transportation more comfortable.
[0047] Furthermore, there are inclined surfaces 14 on both sides of the bottom of the storage member 10. Specifically, the two inclined surfaces 14 on both sides can be spaced apart, and the feed shaft 30 and the spiral guide portion 31 can be clamped in the interval formed by the two. At this time, the discharge port 12 can be set at the end of the storage chamber 11 away from the inclined surface 14. In this way, the feed in the storage chamber 11 can first be automatically guided by the two inclined surfaces 14 and fall onto the spiral guide portion 31, and then be rotated and transported to the discharge port 12 by the spiral guide portion 31 to avoid the feed being concentrated at the discharge port 12 and blocking the discharge port 12; in addition, the feed can more easily slide to the feed shaft 30 and the spiral guide portion 31 through the inclined surface 14, and the entire structure is more practical.
[0048] More specifically, during assembly, the feeding port 2211 is inclined from bottom to top toward the material storage member 10, and a second cover plate 2212 is also provided at the feeding port 2211. Specifically, the second cover plate 2212 can be arranged along the inclined direction of the feeding port 2211, so that the wind force generated by the fan 50 can be guided by the inclined surface 14 after entering the discharge pipe 22 to more easily open the second cover plate 2212. When the fan 50 is turned off, the second cover plate 2212 can be reset to close the feeding port 2211 due to its own gravity, thereby preventing external impurities such as water droplets from entering the discharge pipe 22 from the feeding port 2211, so as to reduce the risk of water droplets flowing back into the material storage member 10 and causing the internal feed to become damp and agglomerated.
[0049] Furthermore, the discharge pipe 22 includes a connecting section 222 and a discharge section 221. During assembly, the material spreading port 2211 is set at the discharge section 221, and the connecting section 222 is connected to the feed pipe 21. The inner diameter of the discharge section 221 can be set to be smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting section 222, so that it can be passed into the connecting section 222, making assembly easier.
[0050] In addition, by setting the inner diameters of the connecting section 222 and the discharging section 221 to different thicknesses, the flow rate of feed during the feeding process can be conveniently adjusted by changing the thickness of the pipe. A thicker pipe can accommodate more feed, thereby achieving a faster feeding speed, while a thinner pipe can limit the flow rate of feed, thereby accurately controlling the feeding amount of feed, and the structure is more practical.
[0051] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the material storage member 10, the opening is connected to the material storage cavity 11, the feed is taken in and put into the material storage cavity 11 through the opening, and a third cover plate 13 is sealed at the opening to prevent external water droplets or impurities from falling into the material storage cavity 11 through the third cover plate 13, thereby reducing the risk of the feed getting damp or contaminated.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are at least two material storage pieces 10, material discharge pieces 20 and material feeding mechanisms, each material feeding mechanism is respectively arranged corresponding to each material discharge piece 20, each material storage piece 10 is connected to each material discharge piece 20, and there is at least one fan 50, and at least one fan 50 is connected to the material spreading port 2211.
[0053] On the basis of this structure, during assembly, at least two feeding mechanisms can be installed in the storage chamber 11 respectively, and then the discharge port 12 on the storage member 10 can be connected to the feed end of the discharge member 20 respectively, and then a fan 50 can be connected to the spreading ports 2211 of at least two discharge members 20 respectively through multiple air inlet pipes 51, so that when the fan 50 and the driving member 40 are started, the feed can be quantitatively and evenly delivered to multiple designated areas through the cooperation of the two discharge members 20 and the fan 50 at the same time, thereby expanding the feeding range and improving the feeding efficiency.
[0054] It should be noted that the feeding mechanism, the discharging piece 20 and the storage piece 10 can be set to two, three, four or more, and each fan 50 can be connected to multiple discharging pieces 20 one by one through two, three or more air inlet pipes 51, so as to release wind power to the distributing ports 2211 of multiple discharging pieces 20 at the same time. Of course, the fan 50 can also be set to more in proportion to the number of the feeding mechanism, the discharging piece 20 and the storage piece 10, and it can be set according to actual needs.
[0055] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and deformations can be made according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all of these changes and deformations should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
