Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fish feed feeding equipment, and particularly relates to a fish feed feeder capable of changing the feeding range. Background Art

[0002] During large-scale fishery farming, whether the fish feed is evenly fed directly affects the growth of fish. The reason is that, due to the large number of fish in the same aquaculture area, uneven feeding easily causes fierce competition among fish, resulting in some fish being affected in their normal growth because they cannot obtain enough food.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used feeding methods are divided into manual feeding and mechanical feeding. The manual feeding method is to directly sprinkle fish feed in the aquaculture area using a ladle-shaped container. This feeding method can, according to the actual situation, artificially change the sprinkling range of the fish feed, with better uniformity, but the labor intensity of workers is high. There are also fish feed feeders on the market currently, but the feeding range of existing fish feed feeders is usually fixed. When feeding, it is easy to make the fish feed concentrate in a local area, with poor uniformity, and it is easy to cause food grabbing among fish, which is not conducive to the growth of fish.

[0024] See Figure 1-2 , a fish feed feeder with a variable feeding range, comprising a box body 1, a hopper 2, a spray pipe 4, a blower 5, a rotating shaft 6, and a motor 7. The box body 1 has a square structure. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably mounted vertically inside the box body 1. A driven bevel gear 62 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6. A motor 7 is also fixedly installed inside the box body 1. A driving bevel gear 71 meshing with the driven bevel gear 62 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 7. The rotating shaft 6 can be driven to rotate by the motor 7;

[0025] At the top of the rotating shaft 6, there is a rotating platform 61. A blower 5 is fixedly installed on the rotating platform 61. One side of the air outlet of the blower 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the spray pipe 4. The spray pipe 4 is a straight steel pipe. A chute 14 is also opened on the side of the box body 1. The other side of the spray pipe 4 is slidably connected to the chute 14. When the motor 7 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, drives the blower 5 to rotate, changes the orientation of the spray pipe 4, thereby changing the spraying range of the fish feed and improving the uniformity of feeding. Further, to improve the stability of the spray pipe 4 during rotation, an auxiliary frame 63 is provided on the rotating platform 61. One end of the auxiliary frame 63 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform 61, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the spray pipe 4.

[0026] At the end of the spray pipe 4, there is a horn-shaped nozzle 41. The small end of the nozzle 41 is connected to the spray pipe 4. Through the horn-shaped nozzle 41, the fish feed particles can be evenly distributed and effectively cover the target area.

[0027] Further, by continuously swinging the spray pipe 4 left and right to change the discharging direction, the coverage range of the fish feed can be expanded, the uniformity of feeding can be improved, and the problem of fish competing for food can be alleviated. Travel switches 8 are installed on both the left and right sides of the chute 14. The travel switches 8, the blower 5, and the motor 7 are all electrically connected to the controller. When the motor 7 is started, it rotates forward, drives the spray pipe 4 to turn to one side. When the spray pipe 4 touches the travel switch 8, it sends a reverse signal to the controller. The controller controls the motor 7 to reverse, drives the spray pipe 4 to turn in the reverse direction. When the spray pipe 4 touches the travel switch 8 on the other side, it sends a forward signal to the controller. The controller controls the motor 7 to resume forward rotation. In this way, the spray pipe 4 can be made to continuously swing left and right, expanding the coverage range of feeding and improving the uniformity of feeding. By controlling the operating power of the blower 5 through the controller, the feeding distance of the fish feed can be changed, further increasing the coverage range of feeding, alleviating the phenomenon of competing for food, and ensuring the normal growth of fish.

[0028] A top cover 11 is provided on the top of the box body 1. The hopper 2 is fixedly installed on the top cover 11 through a bracket 21. The bottom of the hopper 2 is connected to the feed pipe 23. To facilitate the control of feeding, a valve 22 is provided at the feed pipe 23. When the valve 22 is opened, the fish feed in the hopper 2 can pass through the feed pipe 23. When the valve 22 is closed, the fish feed in the hopper 2 is blocked. Further, a feed inlet is opened on the side wall of the spray pipe 4. The feed inlet and the feed pipe 23 are connected through a flexible hose 3. The flexible hose 3 can compensate for the displacement generated when the spray pipe 4 rotates, ensuring the smoothness of the feeding process.

[0029] On the basis of the above embodiments, since there are multiple breeding areas during large-scale fishery breeding, to facilitate the movement of this device between different breeding areas, universal wheels 13 are installed at the four corner positions of the bottom of the box body 1, and a handle 12 is provided on the side of the box body 1. During use, this device can be pushed between different breeding areas through the handle 12, which is convenient and fast.

[0030] Specific working process:

[0031] Push this device to the edge of the fish pond to be fed, pour fish feed into the hopper 2, start the blower 5 and the motor 7, open the valve 22, and the fish feed enters the spray pipe 4 through the feed pipe 23 and the hose 3, and is sprayed into the fish pond under the drive of the wind. At the same time, the motor 7 cooperates with the travel switch 8 to make the spray pipe 4 continuously move left and right reciprocally, so as to expand the coverage range of feeding, improve the uniformity of fish feed in the fish pond, alleviate the problem of fish competing for food with each other, and ensure the normal growth of fish.

[0032] Furthermore, this device can also start the blower 5 alone without starting the motor 7, so as to feed in a fixed range to meet different usage requirements.

[0033] Finally, it should also be noted that in this article, relationships such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms including, containing or any other variant are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0034] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
