Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an improved invention of a feeder, in particular to an aquaculture feeder. Background Art

[0002] Aquaculture requires feeding feed regularly and quantitatively. Existing feeders have problems of complex structure and high equipment cost. For example, the utility model patent with the publication number of 221178929U and the invention name of "Feeding Device for Aquaculture" uses a screw rod to feed. The feeding pipe is rotationally matched with the screw rod to send the materials at the feeding port to the discharging pipe, and finally the materials are discharged from the discharging port of the discharging pipe. The spiral channel formed by the screw rod and the feeding pipe is narrow, and the materials are extruded. The extruded materials are in blocks, which are not only prone to blockage, but also difficult for aquatic products to eat. Therefore, the existing aquaculture mainly relies on manual throwing of feed, but manual feeding regularly and quantitatively has a high labor intensity and high labor cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the technical problems in the background art, the technical problem solved by the utility model aims to provide a feeder with a simple structure, low equipment cost and stable feeding.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: This kind of feeder is characterized in that: it includes a feed cylinder and a feeding component.

[0005] The feed cylinder is provided with a first discharge port at its bottom.

[0006] The feeding component includes a housing and a feeding member. The feeding member includes a feeding wheel and a plurality of baffle plates. The baffle plates are arranged radially relative to the feeding wheel and are arranged on the circumferential side surface of the feeding wheel. The plurality of baffle plates are evenly distributed along the circumferential side surface of the feeding wheel. A feeding cavity is arranged in the housing. The feeding wheel is rotatably arranged in the feeding cavity, and the baffle plates of the feeding member are rotationally matched with the inner wall of the feeding cavity. The feeding wheel, adjacent baffle plates and the inner wall of the feeding cavity form a unit cavity. The feeding cavity is provided with a feeding port communicating with the material port of the feed cylinder and a second discharge port for discharging materials.

[0007] The materials in the barrel enter the material cavity formed by adjacent baffle plates through the first discharge port. As the feeding wheel rotates, the material cavity storing materials enters the section of the feeding cavity with an inner wall. The materials remain stable in the unit cavity and are not squeezed until they rotate to the second discharge port. The materials in the unit cavity gradually discharge from the second discharge port. Moreover, as the feeding wheel rotates, the next material cavity receives the materials discharged from the first discharge port and then enters the section of the feeding cavity with an inner wall, so continuous feeding is achieved. The materials stored in the unit cavity will not be squeezed, enabling the materials entering the feeding pool to remain granular, which is beneficial for aquatic products to eat. And the materials are evenly distributed in the pool with the water flow, and the feeding is stable and has a good effect, which is more conducive to the breeding of aquatic products.

[0008] Preferably, the calibers of the feeding port and the second discharge port are the same as the distance between adjacent baffles. The material reception in the unit cavity is more balanced.

The setting of the inlet channel enables the feeding cavity to be better connected to the first discharge port; the feeding channel guides the materials at the second discharge port outside the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the inlet channel is directly above the feeding channel; the inlet channel is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom; the feeding port of the feeding channel is smaller than the second discharge port. The setting of being larger at the top and smaller at the bottom makes it easier for the materials to be discharged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The embodiments, related details and working principles of the present utility model will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This feeder includes a material cylinder 1 and a feeding component 2. A first discharge port is provided at the bottom of the material cylinder 1. The feeding component 2 includes a housing 3 and a feeding member 15. The feeding member 15 includes a feeding wheel 8 and a number of baffle plates 7. The baffle plates 7 are arranged radially relative to the feeding wheel 8 and are provided on the circumferential side surface of the feeding wheel 8. The number of baffle plates 7 is evenly distributed along the circumferential side surface of the feeding wheel 8. A feeding cavity 4 is provided inside the housing 3. The feeding wheel 8 is rotatably arranged in the feeding cavity 4. The baffle plates of the feeding member are rotatably matched with the inner wall of the feeding cavity. The feeding wheel 8, the adjacent baffle plates 7 and the inner wall 10 of the feeding cavity 4 form a unit cavity 9, which is equivalent to a sealed cavity. The baffle plates are rotatably matched with the inner wall of the feeding cavity, that is, the inner diameter and thickness of the feeding cavity 4 match the outer diameter and thickness formed by the baffle plates 7. The baffle plates can not only rotate relative to the inner wall of the feeding cavity, but also cooperate with the inner wall of the feeding cavity to form a sealed cavity. See the accompanying drawings. The X-axis represents the thickness direction of the feeding cavity 4 and the baffle plates 7, the Y-axis is the length direction of the housing 3, and the Z-axis is the height direction of the housing 3. The feeding cavity 4 is provided with a feed inlet 13 communicating with the material port of the material cylinder 1 and a second discharge port 14 for discharging the material. At the positions of the feeding member 15 opposite to the feed inlet 13 and the second discharge port 14 of the feeding cavity 4, the cavity between the adjacent baffle plates 7 is in an open state for receiving or discharging the material. The material in the material cylinder 1 enters the material cavity formed by the adjacent baffle plates 7 from the first discharge port. As the feeding wheel 8 rotates, the material cavity storing the material enters the section of the feeding cavity 4 with the inner wall 10. This material cavity forms a sealed unit cavity with the inner wall of the feeding cavity. The material remains stable in this unit cavity 9 and is not squeezed until it rotates to the second discharge port 14. The material in this unit cavity 9 gradually discharges from the second discharge port 14. Moreover, as the feeding wheel 8 rotates, the next material cavity receives the material discharged from the first discharge port and then enters the section of the feeding cavity 4 with the inner wall 10, so as to continuously feed. The material placed in the unit cavity 9 will not be squeezed, so that the material entering the breeding pool can remain granular, which is beneficial for aquatic products to eat. And the material is evenly distributed in the pool along with the water flow, and the feeding is stable and has a good effect, which is more beneficial for the breeding of aquatic products.

[0022] See the attached drawings. The diameters of the feed inlet 13 and the second discharge outlet 14 are the same as the distances between adjacent baffles, so that the material reception in the unit cavity 9 is more balanced and the feeding dose is more accurate. An inlet channel 5 and a feeding channel 6 are further provided in the housing 3. The inlet channel 5 is directly above the feeding channel 6. The two ends of the inlet channel 5 are respectively connected to the first discharge outlet of the barrel 1 and the feed inlet 13 of the feeding cavity 4. It is better that the inlet channel is integrated with the feeding cavity. The setting of the inlet channel 5 enables the feeding cavity 4 to be better connected to the first discharge outlet. The inlet channel 5 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. This setting makes it easier for the material to enter the feeding cavity 4. A first panel is provided at the bottom of the barrel 1, and the first discharge outlet is arranged on the first panel. A second panel 16 is provided at the top of the housing 3, and the port of the inlet channel 5 is arranged on the second panel 16. The first panel and the second panel 16 are fitted and connected. For example, the first panel and the second panel 16 are locked and connected by bolts. The settings of the first panel and the second panel 16 make it more convenient to install the barrel 1 and the feeding component 2. At the same time, the connection between the first discharge outlet and the inlet channel 5 is denser. One end of the feeding channel 6 is connected to the second discharge outlet 14 of the feeding cavity 4, and the other end of the feeding channel 6 is a feeding port and extends to the surface of the housing 3. The feeding channel 6 guides the material at the second discharge outlet 14 out of the housing 3. The feeding port of the feeding channel 6 is smaller than the second discharge outlet 14. To facilitate the installation of the feeding component 2, the feeding channel 6 extends outside the housing 3 and extends with a connecting head 12. The connecting head 12 is provided with an external thread, and it can also be fixedly installed above the aquaculture pond by threading through the connecting head 12.

[0023] For easy disassembly and assembly, the feeding wheel 8 is provided with an internal hexagonal center hole 11. A through hole is opened on the housing 3. The center hole 11 is matched with a hexagonal shaft. The hexagonal shaft is connected to the motor, and the hexagonal shaft passes through the through hole and is inserted into the center hole 11. The hexagonal shaft is movably matched with the feeding wheel 8, which is more convenient for installation and maintenance. The motor drives the hexagonal shaft to rotate, and the hexagonal shaft drives the feeding wheel 8 to rotate in the feeding cavity 4. To accurately control the feeding dose and the feeding time, the feeder further includes a controller. The motor driving the feeding wheel 8 to rotate is connected to the controller. By controlling the running time, running speed and running duration of the motor, aquatic products can be fed scientifically and efficiently.
