[0028] The following will specifically describe the preferred embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Among them, the drawings form a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present utility model to explain the principle of the present utility model, and are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0029] A flow control device for semi-solid eel bait in this embodiment relates to the technical field of eel breeding. By arranging a plurality of slidable partition boards 120 in the storage bin 110, compartments for storing bait are formed between the partition boards 120. The bait in the compartments can be released one by one by pulling the partition boards 120, realizing precise control of the single bait feeding amount.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , a flow control device for semi-solid eel bait in this embodiment includes: a bait separation component 100 and a drive control component 200. The bait separation component includes a storage bin 110 and a partition board 120. A plurality of partition boards 120 are arranged at intervals. The partition boards 120 are slidably inserted into the storage bin 110. The partition boards 120 can divide the inner cavity of the storage bin 110 into a plurality of compartments. A certain amount of bait is stored in each compartment, and the quantity of the bait can be freely set according to requirements. Large pieces of bait are divided into smaller parts. The storage bin 110 is relatively vertically arranged, and the gravity of each part of the bait is relatively reduced, which can prevent the bait from accumulating and sticking under the action of its own gravity to form blocks, affecting the feeding of eels.
[0031] The drive control component 200 can act on different partition plates 120 in sequence, pull the partition plates 120 to move upward one by one from the bottom, connect the compartments on both sides of the partition plates 120, so that the bait in the compartments falls out of the storage bin 110 one by one under the action of gravity, realizing the timed and quantitative feeding of eels and improving the accuracy of bait feeding.
[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the drive control component 200 includes a plurality of connecting rods 210 and a drive control unit 220. The drive control unit 220 is connected to a plurality of partition plates 120 one by one through the plurality of connecting rods 210. Each partition plate 120 is connected to the drive control unit 220 through a connecting rod 210. The connecting rod 210 can drive the partition plate 120 to move perpendicular to the storage bin 110, completing the partitioning and opening of the inner cavity of the storage bin 110.
[0033] In the specific implementation process, the drive control unit 220 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor. The stepper motor precisely controls the rotation angle and speed, and uses a screw rod to drive the connecting rod 210 to push the partition plate 120 to move. The motor can precisely adjust the moving amplitude and frequency of the partition plate 120 through the number of steps or angles set by the controller, thereby controlling the feeding amount and time of the bait.
[0034] The drive control unit 220 can be a linear motor. The linear motor generates a linear motion through electromagnetic force, no longer requires rotation - transmission - linear conversion, and directly drives the partition plate 120 to move in the vertical direction. The linear motor adjusts the moving distance and speed by controlling the current, realizing precise control of the partition plate 120.
[0035] The drive control unit 220 can be a cylinder. The cylinder drive acts on the cylinder piston through compressed air, drives the connecting rod 210 to move up and down, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the partition plate 120. By adjusting the air pressure and the stroke of the cylinder, the moving amplitude and speed of the partition plate 120 can be controlled.
[0036] The drive control unit 220 can be a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder drives the piston to move through the pressure of hydraulic oil, drives the connecting rod 210 to move vertically, and realizes the control of the partition plate 120. The hydraulic cylinder is linked with a hydraulic pump and a control valve, and can adjust the moving speed and stroke of the piston to achieve precise control.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a plurality of insertion slots 111 are opened on the storage bin 110. The insertion slots 111 are arranged across the storage bin 110, and the partition plates 120 are slidably inserted into the insertion slots 111.
[0038] The insertion slot body 111 provides a fixed track or guiding structure for the partition plate 120, ensuring that the partition plate 120 can slide smoothly along a specific path. The insertion slot body 111 can prevent the partition plate 120 from tilting, shaking or deviating from the original track during the sliding process, ensuring the stability during the feeding process.
[0039] The insertion slot body 111 can make the partition plate 120 fit tightly with the storage bin 110, reducing the gaps and preventing the bait from leaking in the non-feeding state. The insertion slot body 111 can not only ensure that the bait between compartments does not interfere with each other, but also ensure that only the compartment to be fed is opened during each feeding process, avoiding the overflow or mixing of the bait in other compartments.
[0040] In the specific implementation process, the insertion slot body 111 includes an opening formed outside the storage bin 110 and a clamping groove formed inside the storage bin 110. The partition plate 120 is inserted through the opening and inserted into the clamping groove. The clamping groove provides a fixed track or guiding structure for the partition plate 120, ensuring that the partition plate 120 can slide smoothly along a specific path. The clamping groove can also make the partition plate 120 fit tightly with the storage bin 110, reducing the gaps and preventing the bait from leaking in the non-feeding state.
[0041] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , the cross-section of the storage bin 110 is circular, and the partition plate 120 is a circular partition plate 120 adapted to the storage bin 110. The circular storage bin 110 can maximize the use of the space inside the bin, cooperate tightly with the partition plate 120, and make the bait evenly distributed throughout the cross-section of the storage bin 110. The circular structure reduces the waste of corner space. Especially when feeding relatively viscous bait, it avoids the residue of bait in dead corners and improves the feeding efficiency.
[0042] In addition, the design of the circular storage bin 110 and the partition plate 120 avoids right angles and edges, reducing the accumulation and blockage of bait during the feeding process. The bait can flow smoothly along the circular inner wall. Especially for relatively viscous eel bait, the circular structure can reduce the resistance of the bait at the edge and promote the smooth discharge of the bait.
[0043] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 , the cross-section of the storage bin 110 is square, and the partition plate 120 is a square partition plate 120 adapted to the storage bin 110. The square partition plate 120 and the square storage bin 110 can cooperate tightly, accurately dividing the inside of the storage bin 110 into multiple regular rectangular compartments, making the volume of each compartment relatively consistent. The square structure can simplify the manufacturing process and is easy to mass-produce according to the predetermined dimensions.
[0044] The edge of the square partition plate 120 can closely fit the square wall surface of the storage bin 110, better achieving the sealing effect between the partition plate 120 and the bin wall, and preventing the bait from leaking at the edge of the partition plate 120.
[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 6 , a flow control device for semi-solid eel bait further includes a material distribution component 300. The material distribution component 300 includes a screw conveyor 310 connected to the bottom of the storage bin 110. The bait masses that slide down from the storage bin 110 one by one are first input into the screw conveyor 310. The rotational movement of the screw conveyor 310 can effectively disperse the viscous bait masses, preventing the bait masses from being too concentrated or sticking together during the conveying process. Through the agitation of the screw conveyor 310, the bait masses are evenly dispersed, realizing the smooth conveying and uniform distribution of the bait, and preventing blockage caused by accumulation.
[0046] The screw conveyor 310 can continuously convey the bait from the bottom of the storage bin 110 to the required position and output the bait at a constant speed and torque. Compared with gravity conveying or other methods, the mechanical action of the screw conveyor 310 can better control the bait flow rate, ensure the stable flow of the bait during the conveying process, and improve the efficiency of bait conveying.
[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the material distribution component 300 further includes a crushing unit 320. The crushing unit 320 is arranged between the storage bin 110 and the screw conveyor 310. When the bait slides down from the storage bin 110, the crushing unit 320 performs preliminary crushing on the bait mass, preventing large pieces of bait from directly entering the screw conveyor 310 and avoiding blockage during the conveying process due to overly large bait pieces. The crushing unit 320 can effectively decompose large pieces of bait into smaller particles or small mass-like bait, ensuring the uniform flow of the bait during the subsequent conveying process.
[0048] In the specific implementation process, the crushing unit 320 includes a housing 321 and a rotatable crushing roller 322. Both ends of the housing 321 are open, and the two openings are respectively connected to the storage and the screw conveyor 310. The bait mass from the storage bin 110 first passes through the crushing unit 320 and then is input into the screw conveyor 310. The crushing roller 322 is arranged in the housing 321. The crushing roller 322 is rotationally connected to the housing 321 through a bearing. The rotation of the crushing roller 322 can physically crush and cut the bait mass. Especially for semi-solid or viscous eel bait, the rotation of the crushing roller 322 can effectively break up the clumped bait into smaller particles or lumps, preventing large pieces of bait from directly entering the screw conveyor 310 and reducing the possibility of equipment blockage.
[0049] The continuous rotation of the crushing roller 322 can perform continuous crushing on the bait, ensuring that the bait mass slipping from the storage bin 110 will not affect the subsequent conveying process due to its too large volume. Through continuous crushing, the bait can be evenly processed, improving the dispersibility and fluidity of the bait.
[0050] It should be noted that: the outer shell 321 provides a closed crushing space to ensure that the crushing roller 322 can effectively crush the bait within a fixed space. The two ends of the outer shell 321 are respectively connected to the storage bin 110 and the screw conveyor 310, enabling the crushed bait to directly flow into the screw conveyor 310, preventing the scattered or blocked crushed bait in other parts and maintaining the smoothness of the entire conveying process.
[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 , a discharge port 311 is provided at one end of the screw conveyor 310 away from the storage bin 110, which is inclined downward. The discharge port 311 communicates with one side of the screw conveyor 310 and is arranged opposite to the aquaculture water area. The discharge port 311 is inclined downward, enabling the bait to naturally fall under the action of gravity, which helps to more accurately convey the bait to the designated aquaculture water area, preventing the bait from scattering to unnecessary places or accumulating at the equipment outlet, and ensuring that the bait accurately reaches the target throwing area.
[0052] Working process: First, use the drive control unit 220 to control the partition plate 120 to be inserted into the insertion groove body 111 one by one from bottom to top, and put the bait mass into the compartments one by one. Then, start the crushing roller 322 and the screw conveyor 310 to keep them rotating at high speed. Next, use the drive control unit 220 to control the partition plate 120 to be withdrawn from bottom to top one by one, releasing the bait mass in the compartments. Finally, after being crushed by the crushing unit 320, the bait mass is conveyed to the screw conveyor 310. The screw conveyor 310 pushes the bait forward through the rotation of the screw blades, conveying the bait from the storage bin 110 to the discharge port 311.
[0053] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
