Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture, in particular to a monitoring and feeding mechanism for female shrimps. Background Technique

[0002] In the aquaculture industry, especially in the field of shrimp farming, the reproductive cycle of female shrimps is a crucial stage to ensure farming efficiency and the sustainable development of the population. During the reproductive period of female shrimps, their physiological states and nutritional requirements change significantly, and their sensitivity to the environment and dependence on nutrients also increase accordingly. To ensure the survival rate of shrimp larvae and the health of female shrimps, farmers need to take a series of refined management measures. Among them, it is particularly important to transfer the pregnant female shrimps to a dedicated pregnant shrimp pond and carry out scientific and reasonable feeding during this stage.

[0003] Currently, in aquaculture practice, the feeding work for pregnant female shrimps mainly relies on manual operation. Although this traditional method can meet the basic nutritional needs of female shrimps to a certain extent, manual feeding requires farmers to carry out it at fixed times and locations, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also with the expansion of the farming scale, the difficulty and cost of manual feeding increase significantly, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale farming. Due to human factors, the time interval between each feeding is often difficult to accurately control, resulting in unbalanced nutrient intake of female shrimps, which may affect their reproductive performance and the survival rate of shrimp larvae.

[0007] A timer, which is installed on the surface of the feeding module and can control the feeding module to feed food into the pregnant shrimp pond where the female shrimps are located at regular intervals.

[0008] Furthermore, the servo drive module can simultaneously drive the intelligent camera and the feeding module to reciprocate above the pregnant shrimp pond of the female shrimps, and the intelligent camera can obtain the activity state of the pregnant shrimp pond of the female shrimps by taking pictures.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding module includes a bracket installed at the driving end of the servo drive module. A device bin is installed at the bottom of the bracket. A feeding pipe is connected to the side of the device bin. A storage bin is connected to the upper part of the feeding pipe. An equipment cavity is reserved inside the device bin. A servo motor is installed inside the equipment cavity. The driving end of the servo motor is connected to a screw shaft. A side cover is commonly installed on the sides of the feeding pipe and the storage bin. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the side cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the equipment cavity, the feeding pipe, the storage bin, and the discharge pipe are connected and communicate with each other. The screw shaft is rotatably connected inside the feeding pipe. The driving end of the servo motor and the screw shaft are connected by a coupling.

[0014] For this monitoring and feeding mechanism for female shrimps, the timer can accurately control the starting time of the feeding module, ensuring that food is automatically fed into the maternity pond every set time period, avoiding the problem of unbalanced nutrient intake caused by inconsistent time intervals during manual feeding. This not only improves the feeding efficiency but also ensures that female shrimps can obtain stable and sufficient nutritional support during the breeding period, which is beneficial to improving the survival rate of shrimp fry and the health of female shrimps. In addition, it can reduce the direct participation of breeders in the feeding work, greatly reducing the labor intensity. At the same time, as the breeding scale expands, the system can maintain high feeding capacity without additional manual input, thus effectively reducing the breeding cost.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a monitoring and feeding mechanism for female shrimps, which consists of a servo drive module 1, an intelligent camera 2, a feeding module 3 and a timer 4. Among them, the specific structures and working principles of the servo drive module 1 and the intelligent camera 2 are all existing well-known technologies and will not be elaborated here. At the same time, using the intelligent camera 2 to obtain the required pictures, and the intelligent camera 2 can transmit the pictures to the mobile terminal, which is also an existing well-known technology and will not be elaborated here. The intelligent camera 2 and the feeding module 3 are both installed at the driving end of the servo drive module 1. During operation, the servo drive module 1 can simultaneously drive the intelligent camera 2 and the feeding module 3 to reciprocate above the female shrimp spawning pool. During the movement, the intelligent camera 2 can take pictures of the activity status of the female shrimp spawning pool and transmit them to the mobile terminal for aquaculture users to observe. The timer 4 is installed on the surface of the feeding module 3 and can control the feeding module 3 to feed food into the spawning pool where the female shrimps are located every once in a while. Aquaculture users can set the time on the timer 4. For example, if it is necessary to let the feeding module 3 feed food into the spawning pool where the female shrimps are located every three hours, just set three hours on the timer 4. When the time arrives, the feeding module 3 can automatically feed food. Compared with the conventional method of manually feeding food at regular intervals in aquaculture, it is more convenient and has higher efficiency.

[0022] In addition, the feeding module 3 is composed of a bracket 31, an equipment bin 32, a feeding pipe 33, a storage bin 34, a servo motor 36, a screw shaft 37, a coupling 38, a side cover 39, a discharge pipe 310, a cover plate 312, an upper pin plate 313, a lower pin plate 314, and a pin 315. Among them, the equipment bin 32, the feeding pipe 33, and the storage bin 34 are an integral whole. This whole is installed on the bracket 31 with the equipment bin 32 as the basis. The side cover 39 is installed on the side of this whole, and the discharge pipe 310 is installed at the bottom of the side cover 39. The equipment cavity 35, the feeding pipe 33, the storage bin 34, and the discharge pipe 310 are connected and communicate with each other. An equipment cavity 35 is reserved inside the equipment bin 32. The servo motor 36 is installed inside the equipment cavity 35. The screw shaft 37 is rotatably connected inside the feeding pipe 33. The driving end of the servo motor 36 is connected to the screw shaft 37 through the coupling 38. A feeding port is reserved at the top of the storage bin 34. Chute grooves 311 are opened on both sides of the feeding port. The cover plate 312 can slide outward inside the chute grooves 311. The outer sides of the cover plate 312 are symmetrically connected with the upper pin plates 313. The top of the side cover 39 is symmetrically connected with the lower pin plates 314. The upper pin plates 313 and the lower pin plates 314 are in corresponding positions, and pin holes are reserved inside both of them. The pin 315 is inserted into the pin holes;

[0023] When the feeding module 3 is feeding, the food to be put is added into the storage bin 34, and then the cover plate 312 is closed. After closing, the pin 315 is inserted into the pin holes of the upper pin plate 313 and the lower pin plate 314, which can restrict and fix the cover plate 312. Subsequently, the servo motor 36 is activated, and the screw shaft 37 is driven to rotate through the coupling 38. The screw shaft 37 conveys the food from the storage bin 34 to the discharge pipe 310 and then discharges it into the spawning pond. In addition, the feeding drive motor 33 can be adjusted, including the rotation speed and the number of rotation circles. The rotation speed of the feeding drive motor 33 is fixed, and the speed of driving the screw shaft 34 to rotate is fixed. That is to say, when the number of circles is the same, the amount of food fed each time is the same.
