Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of American bullfrog breeding equipment, in particular to an American bullfrog feed feeding platform. Background Technique

[0002] During the breeding process of American bullfrogs, the feeding of feed is one of the key links. American bullfrogs usually have a low sensitivity to static pellet feed. Traditional feed feeding methods often result in the feed not being discovered and eaten by American bullfrogs in time, which not only causes feed waste but also may pollute the breeding water body. In order to improve the feeding efficiency of American bullfrogs, a feeding platform that can make the pellet feed move to attract American bullfrogs needs to be designed.

[0003] Although there are some similar feed feeding platforms on the market at present, the common feed feeding platforms generally consist of a screen and an annular frame for supporting the tension of the screen. This structure can only hold the pellet feed and prevent the pellet feed from settling to the bottom of the pool, without the function of disturbing the feed and cannot well meet the actual needs of American bullfrog breeding. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an American bullfrog feed feeding platform aiming at the problems existing in the prior art. It can hold the pellet feed, and at the same time, through the impact of water flow, make the feed move, attract American bullfrogs to feed, improve the feed utilization rate, and at the same time, has a simple structure and low cost.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An American bullfrog feed feeding platform includes a frame, and a screen for placing pellet feed is unfolded and connected on the frame;

[0007] It is characterized in that: it further includes a water pump, an electric three-way valve, and a controller for controlling the operation of the water pump and the electric three-way valve. The frame includes four side frames, and a comb-shaped flushing water pipe assembly is connected below the four side frames through a plurality of columns. The comb-shaped flushing water pipe assembly includes a first water pipe and a second water pipe that are parallel to each other. A number of first flushing water pipes and second flushing water pipes are arranged alternately at equal intervals between the first water pipe and the second water pipe. A number of water outlet holes are arranged at equal intervals on the side of the first flushing water pipe and the second flushing water pipe facing the screen; the first water pipe is communicated with the first flushing water pipe, and the high-pressure water provided by the first water pipe rushes out from the water outlet holes of the first flushing water pipe to impact the pellet feed on the screen to float; the second water pipe is communicated with the second flushing water pipe, and the high-pressure water provided by the second water pipe rushes out from the water outlet holes of the second flushing water pipe to impact the pellet feed on the screen to float; the water outlet of the water pump is communicated with the water inlet of the electric three-way valve through a pipeline, and the two water outlets of the electric three-way valve are respectively communicated with the first water pipe and the second water pipe through pipelines.

[0008] Preferably, the four-side frame, vertical columns, first water pipe, second water pipe, and flushing water pipe are made of lightweight corrosion-resistant pipes (such as PVC pipes) and can float on the water surface.

[0009] Preferably, when used for juvenile frog farming, the aperture of the screen is 0.8 - 1.2 mm, which is suitable for pellet feed with a particle size of 1.0 - 2.0 mm; when used for adult frog farming, the aperture of the screen is 1.8 - 2.2 mm, which is suitable for pellet feed with a particle size of 2.0 - 4.0 mm.

[0010] Preferably, the screen is made of nylon mesh, and the edge of the screen is connected with a binding strip.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] (1) By holding the pellet feed with the screen, it avoids the feed from sinking to the bottom of the pond, reducing waste and water pollution.

[0013] (2) Using a water pump and an electric three-way valve to control the high-pressure water to alternately spray out from the first flushing water pipe and the second flushing water pipe, and forming a periodic and two-way water flow impact through the water outlet holes, so that the feed on the screen is continuously in a dynamic floating state. This design can not only attract the attention of American bullfrogs through water flow disturbance, but also avoid the formation of strip-shaped agglomeration of pellet feed due to one-way impact - when the water flow of the first flushing water pipe pushes the feed to both sides, the reverse water flow of the second flushing water pipe can "push back" the feed to the middle area, keeping the feed evenly dispersed on the screen, expanding the feeding range of American bullfrogs, and further improving the feeding efficiency.

[0014] (3) The frame is made of lightweight corrosion-resistant pipes (such as PVC pipes), can float on the water surface, without additional support structure, easy to install and adapt to the breeding environment.

[0015] (4) The aperture of the screen can be flexibly adjusted according to the growth stage of American bullfrogs (juvenile frogs / adult frogs), suitable for different particle size feeds, improving the practicability.

[0016] (5) The structure is simple, with few core components, low manufacturing cost, and convenient for large-scale popularization and application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation mode

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. 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.

[0022] Combined with Figures 1-3 , the specific embodiment structure of the present invention is as follows:

[0023] The American bullfrog feed feeding platform mainly consists of a frame, a wire mesh 1, a water pump 2, an electric three-way valve 3, a controller 4 and a comb-shaped flushing water pipe assembly.

[0024] Frame: It includes a rectangular four-sided frame 5 (lightweight PVC pipe), and the four-sided frame 5 is horizontally arranged.

[0025] At the four corners below the four-sided frame 5, columns 6 are connected. Below the columns 6, a comb-shaped flushing water pipe assembly is connected. The comb-shaped flushing water pipe assembly includes a first water pipe 7 and a second water pipe 8 arranged in parallel (with a spacing of about 40 cm). Between the two, five first flushing water pipes 9 and five second flushing water pipes 10 are evenly arranged alternately (with a spacing of 20 cm between adjacent flushing water pipes). The first flushing water pipes 9 and the second flushing water pipes 10 are both perpendicular to the first water pipe 7 and the second water pipe 8, and on the side facing the wire mesh 1, a water outlet hole 11 with a diameter of 2 mm is opened every 5 cm.

[0026] Wire mesh 1: It is made of nylon material, and the edge is fixed to the upper part of the four-sided frame 5 through an edge strip 12 to form a horizontally placed feed bearing surface. For juvenile frog breeding, the aperture of the wire mesh 1 is selected as 1.0 mm to adapt to 1.5 mm particle size feed; when breeding adult frogs, it is replaced with a wire mesh with an aperture of 2.0 mm to adapt to 3.0 mm particle size feed.

[0027] Power and control module: The water pump 2 (power 50 W) is installed beside the breeding pond, and the water outlet is connected to the water inlet of the electric three-way valve 3 through a hose. The two water outlets of the electric three-way valve 3 are respectively connected to the first water pipe 7 and the second water pipe 8 through hoses. The controller 4 (timing relay) is electrically connected to the water pump 2 and the electric three-way valve 3, and the passage of the electric three-way valve 3 can be set to switch every 2 minutes.

[0028] Working principle and usage operation steps

[0029] Working principle

[0030] Water flow impact mechanism: After the controller 4 is started, the water pump 2 pumps the aquaculture pond water to the electric three-way valve 3. When the passage is switched to the first water pipe 7, the high-pressure water flows through the first water pipe 7 into the first flushing pipe 9 and jets upward from the water outlet holes 11 to impact the feed on the screen 1, causing it to float upward; after 10 minutes, the controller 4 controls the electric three-way valve 3 to switch to the second water pipe 8 passage, the high-pressure water flows through the second water pipe 8 into the second flushing pipe 10, and jets in the reverse direction from the water outlet holes 11 to impact the feed again, forming a periodic left-right alternating disturbance effect.

[0031] Feed adaptation and buoyancy: The screen 1 holds the feed particles to prevent sinking; the frame is made of lightweight PVC pipes and floats on the water surface as a whole, ensuring that the flushing pipe assembly maintains a fixed distance (about 5 cm) from the water surface and the water flow impact force is stable.

[0032] Operating steps

[0033] Installation platform: Place the frame on the water surface of the aquaculture pond to ensure that the four-sided frame 5 floats horizontally and the screen 1 faces upward.

[0034] Connect the pipelines and circuits: Insert the water inlet of the water pump 2 into the aquaculture pond water, and connect the water outlet to the water inlet of the electric three-way valve 3 through a hose; connect the two water outlets of the electric three-way valve 3 to the first water pipe 7 and the second water pipe 8 respectively through hoses; connect the controller 4 to the power supply and set the timing switching frequency (such as the default 2 minutes / time).

[0035] Feed placement: According to the growth stage of the American bullfrogs, select the screen 1 with the corresponding pore size, and evenly sprinkle the pellet feed on the screen 1 (the single placement amount should preferably cover 80% of the screen area).

[0036] Start the equipment: Turn on the controller 4, and the water pump 2 and the electric three-way valve 3 start to work. The water flow impacts the feed periodically to attract the American bullfrogs to gather and feed.

[0037] Maintenance and adjustment: Clean the residual feed on the screen 1 daily to avoid spoilage and pollution of the water body; regularly check the pipeline sealing performance and the timing function of the controller 4; when raising adult frogs, replace the screen with a larger pore size in time to adapt to larger particle size feed.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made in these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
