[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, this embodiment discloses an ocean aquaculture feeding system, including a conveying pipeline 100, a storage bin 200, a feeder 300, a feeding fan 400, several spreaders 500 and a local workstation 600. The storage bin 200 is equipped with a first temperature sensor 210, a first humidity sensor 220 and a level meter 230. The first humidity sensor 220 is used to detect the humidity inside the storage bin 200, the first temperature sensor 210 is used to detect the temperature inside the storage bin 200, and the level meter 230 is used to detect the remaining amount of feed in the storage bin 200. The level meter 230 adopts a radar sensor. The first end of the feeder 300 is connected to the storage bin 200, and the second end of the feeder 300 is connected to the conveying pipeline 100. The feeder 300 is used to discharge the feed from the storage bin 200 into the conveying pipeline 100 and control the feed discharge amount of the storage bin 200. The feeding fan 400 is connected to the conveying pipeline 100. The feeding fan 400 is used to provide gas power to the conveying pipeline 100 to blow the feed discharged into the conveying pipeline 100 towards the spreaders 500, and the feed is spread through the spreaders 500. Several spreaders 500 are installed at at least one end of the conveying pipeline 100. For example, each spreader 500 has a certain spreading range. Installing multiple spreaders 500 at different positions can increase the spreading range of the feed. The spreaders 500 are connected to the feeding fan 400, the storage bin 200 and the feeder 300 through the conveying pipeline 100. The spreader 500 is equipped with a position proximity sensor 510. The spreader 500 can rotate in different directions to discharge the feed to different positions. The position proximity sensor 510 is used to detect the angular position and angular rotation frequency of the spreader 500. The local workstation 600 is electrically connected to the first humidity sensor 220, the first temperature sensor 210, the level meter 230, the feeder 300, the feeding fan 400, the spreader 500 and the position proximity sensor 510. The local workstation 600 is also electrically connected to a water temperature sensor 610 and an underwater camera 620. The water temperature sensor 610 is used to detect the water temperature of the aquaculture environment. The number of water temperature sensors 610 can be one or more. Multiple water temperature sensors 610 are arranged at different positions or different water depths in the aquaculture environment, so as to collect the water temperature more accurately, and then understand the aquaculture environment of the aquaculture objects (such as fish), which is beneficial for the feedback control of feed feeding. The underwater camera 620 is used for underwater monitoring, such as the aggregation position and aggregation amount of the aquaculture objects, etc., which is beneficial for the feedback control of feed feeding. The number of underwater cameras 620 can be one or more, and multiple underwater cameras 620 are arranged at different positions in the aquaculture environment.

[0032] The local workstation 600 can control the feeder 300, the feeding fan 400, and the spreader 500 to work according to the set parameters, and monitor the feed situation in the storage bin 200 through the first humidity sensor 220, the first temperature sensor 210, and the level meter 230, so as to achieve automatic feeding of the feed, which is beneficial to improving the feeding efficiency, realizing centralized management, beneficial to reducing costs, and can also feedback and control the feeder 300, the feeding fan 400, and the spreader 500 according to the monitoring signals of the water temperature sensor 610 and the underwater camera 620, which is beneficial to improving the feeding accuracy.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 , the conveying pipeline 100 is equipped with a second temperature sensor 110 and a second humidity sensor 120, and the second temperature sensor 110 and the second humidity sensor 120 are electrically connected to the local workstation 600. The second temperature sensor 110 is used to detect the temperature in the conveying pipeline 100, and the second humidity sensor 120 is used to detect the humidity in the conveying pipeline 100. The number of the second temperature sensor 110 and the second humidity sensor 120 can both be one or more, and multiple second temperature sensors 110 and multiple second humidity sensors 120 are arranged at different positions of the conveying pipeline 100, so as to detect the temperature and humidity at multiple positions of the conveying pipeline 100.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 , the storage bin 200 is also equipped with a first pressure sensor 240, and the first pressure sensor 240 is electrically connected to the local workstation 600. The feeder 300 is installed below the storage bin 200. When the feeder 300 is opened, the feed falls from the storage bin 200 into the conveying pipeline 100 under the action of gravity. The pressure in the storage bin 200 has a certain influence on the falling speed of the feed. The local workstation 600 can detect the pressure in the storage bin 200 according to the first pressure sensor 240, and adjust the opening degree and opening duration of the feeder 300 according to the pressure in the storage bin 200, so as to achieve precise control of the feed feeding amount.

[0035] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , a second pressure sensor 130 is installed in the conveying pipeline 100, and the second pressure sensor 130 is electrically connected to the local workstation 600. The conveying pipeline 100 conveys the feed through gas power. Generally speaking, the greater the pressure in the conveying pipeline 100, the faster the conveying speed of the feed, and then the feeding speed of the feed put through the spreader 500 will increase and the feeding distance will become farther. The local workstation 600 can detect the pressure in the conveying pipeline 100 according to the second pressure sensor 130, so as to conduct feedback adjustment on the feeding fan 400 or control the pressure of the conveying pipeline 100, so as to precisely control the feeding speed and feeding distance of the feed.

[0036] Please refer toFigure 1 and Figure 2 At least one valve 140 is installed on the delivery pipeline 100. The valve 140 is electrically connected to the local workstation 600 and is used for pipeline diversion and pressure regulation. The valve 140 can be a diverter valve, an exhaust valve, or a combination of a diverter valve and an exhaust valve. For example, when the valve 140 is in the diverter valve position, the valve 140 is connected to multiple sections of diverter pipelines 150, and the spreader 500 is installed at the end of the diverter pipeline 150. The local workstation 600 controls the valve 140 to switch the direction, thereby distributing the feed from the spreader 500 at different positions through different diverter pipelines 150, thereby flexibly adjusting the feeding amount at different positions. When the valve 140 is an exhaust valve, the local workstation 600 controls the valve 140 to open, relieve the pressure in the delivery pipeline 100, and thus adjust the pressure in the delivery pipeline 100.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least one of the valve 140 and the feeder 300 is connected to a cold dryer 700, which is connected to an air compressor 710. An air bottle 720 is provided between the cold dryer 700 and the air compressor 710. The cold dryer 700 and the air compressor 710 are electrically connected to the local workstation 600. The air compressor 710 generates compressed air, which is then pressure-balanced in the air bottle 720 before being delivered to the cold dryer 700. The cold dryer 700 cools and dries the compressed air, thereby providing dry air power for pneumatic parts such as the valve 140 and the feeder 300.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 The feed fan 400 is equipped with a wind pressure sensor 410, which is electrically connected to the local workstation 600. The wind pressure sensor 410 is used to detect the wind pressure at the air outlet of the feed fan 400. The wind pressure sensor 410 can be an air pressure sensor. The wind pressure sensor 410 can accurately detect the wind pressure at the air outlet of the feed fan 400, thereby accurately controlling the feeding speed and feeding distance of the feed. Among them, the feed fan 400 uses a magnetic levitation fan. The magnetic levitation fan has the advantages of low energy consumption, low noise, long life, zero friction, maintenance-free and easy installation. It saves 30% to 40% energy compared to traditional Roots blowers, which is conducive to reducing energy consumption.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 The local workstation 600 is communicatively connected to the central system 800. The central system 800 is used to receive signals from the local workstation 600 and send remote control signals to the local workstation 600. The central system 800 is a remote server or other upper system for collecting feed feeding information and remote control.

[0040] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the relevant technical field.
