Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aquaculture feeding, and relates to an automatic feeding device. Background Art

[0002] Aquaculture, also known as aquaculture, refers to the cultivation of fish and seafood for human consumption in artificially created ponds onshore. Depending on the water quality, it can be categorized into three main types: freshwater aquaculture, saltwater aquaculture, and marine aquaculture. Aquaculture requires feeding of aquatic products using feeding devices. Most existing feeding methods still rely on manual feeding, which is labor-intensive and difficult to control in terms of feeding range and uniformity. Furthermore, some feeding devices can easily cause feed accumulation and jamming.

[0003] Therefore, the present invention provides an automatic feeding device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model discloses an automatic feeding device, which adopts the technical solution that includes a conical storage hopper, a T-shaped feeding tube is rotatably inserted into the lower end discharge port of the conical storage hopper, a limiting ring is fixedly provided at the position where the vertical tube of the T-shaped feeding tube is inserted into the lower end discharge port of the conical storage hopper, vertical through grooves are provided on the front and rear side walls of the tube wall on the upper part of the limiting ring, and a number of stirring rods are evenly provided on the right side wall of the tube wall on the upper part of the limiting ring from bottom to top, the top end of the vertical tube of the T-shaped feeding tube is fixedly connected to a connecting column, the upper end of the connecting column is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, the motor is installed at the center of the fixing frame, and the fixing frame is fixedly installed on the upper end of the conical storage hopper.

[0005] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a groove is provided on the upper edge of the inner side wall of the lower discharge port of the conical storage hopper.

[0006] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a bearing is fixedly sleeved in the groove, and the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly sleeved on the periphery of the limiting ring; such a design can ensure stable rotation between the T-shaped feeding pipe and the conical storage hopper.

[0007] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the angle between the vertical tube of the T-shaped feeding tube and the tubes on both sides is in the range of 90-120 degrees.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the distance between the ends of the stirring rods and the inner wall of the conical storage hopper is 1-2 cm; this design avoids interference between the stirring rods and the inner wall of the conical storage hopper, and at the same time, fully stirs the feed inside the conical storage hopper to prevent it from sticking to the inner wall.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the fixing frame includes a cross beam, the left and right sides of the lower side wall of the cross beam are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the upper end of the conical storage hopper, the left and right ends of the cross beam are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the U-shaped fixing frame, and mounting holes are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the front bend of the U-shaped fixing frame.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the motor drives the connecting column to rotate, thereby driving the T-shaped feeding tube to rotate, and the T-shaped feeding tube drives the stirring column to stir the feed in the conical storage hopper. During the stirring process, the feed flows from the vertical groove opened on the vertical tube of the T-shaped feeding tube into the tubes on both sides of the T-shaped feeding tube. During the rotation process, the feed is thrown out from the tubes on both sides of the T-shaped feeding tube by the action of centrifugal force, thereby realizing automatic feeding and effectively reducing the labor intensity of manual feeding. On the one hand, during the rotation process, the feed in the conical storage hopper is stirred to prevent it from clumping or sticking to the inner wall. On the other hand, the speed of the motor is controlled to adjust the feeding range of the tubes on both sides of the T-shaped feeding tube. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Under the action of centrifugal force, the feed flowing into the tubes on both sides of the lower end of the T-shaped feeding pipe 2 is thrown out and falls into the breeding pond. If it is necessary to increase the feeding range, the speed of the motor 4 can be controlled.
