Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aquaculture, and in particular to a fish feed feeding tool and an aquarium. Background Art
[0002] The homology between the zebrafish genome and the human genome is over 80%, and it has been widely used in human disease research. Gene editing technology can be used to mutate target genes in zebrafish to study the pathogenic mechanism of target genes in the human body.
[0003] Zebrafish are native to India and other places. They are small tropical fish with a slightly long body and dark blue stripes all over. They grow rapidly in water at 28°C. When the environmental temperature is too low, the growth of zebrafish will stop or even die. At present, zebrafish are generally fed by directly putting feed into the water for zebrafish to freely feed. However, the feed will sink to the bottom within a short time or be diluted by the water, resulting in a decrease in the feeding desire of zebrafish, serious waste of feed, insufficient feed intake of zebrafish, and slow growth.
[0004] Therefore, how to improve the feeding desire of fish, reduce the waste of feed, and reduce the pollution of water by feed residues is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a fish feed feeding tool and an aquarium, which are used to solve the problem that when the feed is directly put into the water, the feed will sink to the bottom within a short time or be diluted by the water, resulting in a decrease in the feeding desire of fish and serious waste of feed.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a fish feed feeding tool, including: a feed box main body, a partition board, a first screen, a second screen, and a release pipe;
[0007] The partition board is arranged in the feed box main body to divide the feed box main body into a first chamber and a second chamber.

The first screen is arranged in the first chamber, and the second screen is arranged in the second chamber. The feed in the first chamber is softened and dispersed, enters the release pipe through the first screen, and is released into the aquarium. The feed in the second chamber is softened and dispersed, enters the release pipe through the second screen, and is released into the aquarium. Among them, the aperture of the first screen is larger than the aperture of the second screen.
[0008] Optionally, the first screen and the second screen are respectively detachably connected in the first chamber and the second chamber, and the release pipe is detachably connected to the bottom of the feed box main body.
[0009] Optionally, a plurality of through holes are provided in both the first chamber and the bottom of the first chamber. A sleeve is connected to the edge of each through hole. An external thread is provided on the circumferential surface of the sleeve, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the release tube. The release tube and the sleeve are connected by matching the internal thread and the external thread.
[0010] Optionally, an antibacterial coating is provided on the inner wall of the cartridge body and / or the release tube.
[0011] Optionally, the release tube is a frustum-shaped release tube, and the diameter of the frustum-shaped release tube gradually decreases from the end close to the cartridge body to the end far from the cartridge body.
[0012] Optionally, a hook is provided on the side wall of the cartridge body, and the hook is used to hang on the side wall of the fish tank.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present application.
[0025] The core of the present application is to provide a fish feed feeding tool and an aquarium, which are used to improve the feeding desire of fish, reduce the waste of feed, and reduce the pollution of water bodies by feed residues.
[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Figure 1 Side view of a fish feed feeding tool provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 Front view of a fish feed feeding tool provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 Top view of a fish feed feeding tool provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the fish feed feeding tool includes: a feed box body 1, a partition 2, a first sieve 3, a second sieve 4 and a release pipe 5; the partition 2 is arranged in the feed box body 1 to divide the feed box body 1 into a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102. Release pipes 5 are connected to the bottoms of both the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102, and the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102 are respectively communicated with their corresponding release pipes 5. A first sieve 3 is arranged in the first chamber 101, and a second sieve 4 is arranged in the second chamber 102. The feed in the first chamber 101 is softened and dispersed, passes through the first sieve 3, enters the release pipe 5 and is released into the fish tank. The feed in the second chamber 102 is softened and dispersed, passes through the second sieve 4, enters the release pipe 5 and is released into the fish tank. Among them, the aperture of the first sieve 3 is larger than that of the second sieve 4.
[0028] In the embodiments of the present application, neither the shape nor the size of the feed box body 1 is specifically limited. An opening is provided at the top of the feed box body 1 for users to feed. As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the partition 2 divides the feed box body 1 into two parts, namely a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102. Release pipes 5 are connected to the bottoms of both the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102. Multiple release pipes 5 can be provided. In the embodiments of the present application, the connection method between the release pipe 5 and the feed box body 1 is not specifically limited, and an integrated connection method can be adopted. The aperture of the first sieve 3 is larger than that of the second sieve 4. Specifically, the first sieve 3 can be 5 to 15 meshes, and the second sieve 4 can be 20 to 40 meshes; correspondingly, the release port at the bottom of the release pipe 5 below the first sieve 3 for releasing feed is larger than the release port at the bottom of the release pipe 5 below the second sieve 4 for releasing feed. In the embodiments of the present application, the number of partitions 2 is not specifically limited, and multiple partitions 2 can be provided. Multiple partitions 2 can divide the feed box body 1 into multiple first chambers 101 and multiple second chambers 102, and each chamber can be used to put different types of feed.
[0029] During the use process, the fish feed feeding tool is directly arranged in the zebrafish breeding tank, and the finished pellet feed or live bait is put into the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102 in the feed box body 1; the finished feed or live bait in the first chamber 101 will be softened by water and dispersed, pass through the first sieve 3 and leak into the release pipe 5, and the feed enters the water body through the release port for zebrafish individuals over 2 cm to feed; the finished feed or live bait in the second chamber 102 will be softened by water and dispersed, pass through the second sieve 4 and leak into the release pipe 5, and the dispersed feed enters the water body through the release port for zebrafish fry individuals of 0.5 - 2 cm to feed. Since the feed enters the water body through the release port, the feed can be slowly and continuously supplied to the zebrafish. Since there is less water in the feed box body 1, the taste of the feed itself can be avoided from being largely diluted by water, maintaining good palatability. The floating of the feed in the fish tank water body can also stimulate the feeding desire of the zebrafish, improve the utilization rate of the feed, and reduce the pollution of the water body by feed residues.
[0030] A fish feed feeding tool provided by an embodiment of the present application includes: a feed box body, a partition board, a first screen, a second screen, and a release pipe; the partition board is arranged in the feed box body to divide the feed box body into a first chamber and a second chamber. Release pipes are connected to the bottoms of the first chamber and the second chamber, and the first chamber and the second chamber are respectively communicated with their corresponding release pipes. A first screen is arranged in the first chamber, and a second screen is arranged in the second chamber. The feed in the first chamber is softened and dispersed, enters the release pipe through the first screen, and is released into the fish tank. The feed in the second chamber is softened and dispersed, enters the release pipe through the second screen, and is released into the fish tank. Since the feed enters the water body through the screen and the release pipe, the feed can be slowly and continuously supplied to the fish, avoiding a large amount of feed being put in, and the fish not having time to eat and sinking to the bottom or being diluted by the water body. Moreover, the floating of the decomposed feed in the fish tank water body can stimulate the fish's feeding desire, thereby reducing feed waste and reducing the pollution of the water body by feed residues. Since the aperture of the first screen is larger than that of the second screen, the feed can be decomposed into particles of different sizes for fish of different sizes to eat.
[0031] Based on the above embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the first screen 3 and the second screen 4 are respectively detachably connected in the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102, and the release pipe 5 is detachably connected to the bottom of the feed box body 1.
[0032] The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the detachable connection method of the first screen 3 and the first chamber 101 and the detachable connection method of the second screen 4 and the second chamber 102. It can be to set several limiting parts at the same height in the first chamber 101 and several limiting parts at the same height in the second chamber 102, and the first screen 3 and the second screen 4 are abutted against the limiting parts. Regarding the detachable connection method of the release pipe 5 and the feed box body 1, specifically, a plurality of through holes are provided at the bottom of the first chamber 101 and the first chamber 101. A sleeve is connected to the edge of each through hole, and an external thread is provided on the circumferential surface of the sleeve. An internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the release pipe 5, and the release pipe 5 and the sleeve are connected by the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread. The detachable connection method facilitates users to replace and clean the filter screen and the release pipe 5.
[0033] Based on the above embodiment, an antibacterial coating is provided on the inner wall of the feed box body 1 and / or the release pipe 5 of the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the antibacterial coating, and a superhydrophobic antibacterial coating or silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) etc. can be adopted. Superhydrophobic antibacterial coating: Such coatings achieve self-cleaning and antibacterial effects through their special surface properties, such as superhydrophobicity. They can prevent microorganisms from adhering to the surface, thereby reducing the risk of infection.
[0034] Based on the above embodiment, the release tube 5 of the present application embodiment is a truncated cone-shaped release tube 5, and the diameter of the truncated cone-shaped release tube 5 gradually decreases from one end close to the material box body 1 to the end away from the material box body 1. The surface of the truncated cone-shaped release tube 5 is smooth and has no edges and corners, which will not cause harm to the fish.
[0035] This application does not specifically limit how to place the fish feed feeding tool in the fish tank, and two solutions are provided below. The first is that the side wall of the material box body 1 is provided with a hook 6, and the hook 6 is used to hang on the side wall of the fish tank. The number of hooks 6 can be set according to actual needs. The second is that a plurality of floating blocks are arranged at intervals around the side wall of the material box body 1, and the floating blocks are used to prevent the fish feed feeding tool from sinking into the water. In addition, it should be noted that the position of the hook 6 or the floating block on the side wall of the material box body 1 can be set as needed to control the water level in the material box body 1.
[0036] If the fish feed feeding tool is arranged in the fish tank by using a floating block, if there are multiple fish feed feeding tools, buckles and snap rings can be respectively arranged on the side walls of the feed box body 1, and multiple fish feed feeding tools are connected in series in sequence through the buckles and snap rings, so that multiple fish feed feeding tools will not be scattered all over the fish tank, which is inconvenient to manage and feed.
[0037] Based on the above embodiment, a pH sensor, a temperature sensor and a conductivity sensor are provided on the outer side wall of the material box body 1. These sensors can detect the pH, temperature and conductivity of the water in the bathtub in real time, so that the user can understand the growth environment of the fish in the fish tank.
[0038] The following provides specifications for a fish feed feeding tool. The feed box body 1 and the release tube 5 are made of transparent non-toxic plastic with a thickness of 3 mm. The feed box body 1 is a coverless rectangular box with a length of 50 mm, a width of 25 mm, and a height of 30 mm. The release tube 5 is divided into two groups, 5 tubes in each group, and the height is 30 mm. The bottom release port diameter of the release tube 5 below the first screen 3 is 3 mm, and the bottom release port diameter of the release tube 5 below the second screen 4 is 2 mm; the screen can be directly placed at the bottom of the feed box body 1. The screen is made of food-grade stainless steel, 48 mm long, 10 mm wide, and no thickness requirements. The first screen 3 has a specification of 10 mesh, and the second screen 4 has a specification of 20 mesh.
[0039] Finally, the present application also provides a fish tank, comprising: a tank body and the above-mentioned fish feed feeding tool, the fish feed feeding tool is arranged in the tank body, since the various components of the fish feed feeding tool have been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here.
[0040] A fish tank provided by the present application includes: a tank body and a fish feed feeding tool, and the fish feed feeding tool is arranged in the tank body. The fish feed feeding tool includes: a feed box main body, a partition board, a first screen, a second screen and a release pipe; the partition board is arranged in the feed box main body to divide the feed box main body into a first chamber and a second chamber. Release pipes are connected to the bottoms of the first chamber and the second chamber, and the first chamber and the second chamber are respectively communicated with their corresponding release pipes. A first screen is arranged in the first chamber, and a second screen is arranged in the second chamber. The feed in the first chamber is softened and dispersed, enters the release pipe through the first screen and is released into the fish tank, and the feed in the second chamber is softened and dispersed, enters the release pipe through the second screen and is released into the fish tank. Since the feed enters the water body through the screen and the release pipe, the feed can be supplied to the fish slowly and continuously, avoiding a large amount of feed being put in, and the fish not having time to eat and sinking to the bottom or being diluted by the water body. Moreover, the floating of the decomposed feed into the fish tank water body can stimulate the fish's feeding desire, thereby reducing feed waste and reducing the pollution of the water body by feed residues. Since the aperture of the first screen is larger than the aperture of the second screen, the feed can be decomposed into particles of different sizes for fish of different sizes to eat.
