[0028] Currently, overfishing in the ocean and aquaculture in coastal bays are polluting the waters and significantly reducing offshore fishery resources. As a result, the marine fishery industry is shifting from traditional marine fishing to deep-sea aquaculture. Feed replenishment for deep-sea aquaculture is not typically possible daily; a single replenishment typically requires sufficient feed for several days of cultivation. Therefore, feed storage systems play a crucial role in deep-sea cage aquaculture.

[0029] The traditional feed storage device is arranged as a separate device in the feed cabin, which cannot fully utilize the original bulkhead of the cage feed cabin and has low space utilization. In addition, the traditional feed storage device can only store a single feed and cannot raise multiple fish at the same time.

[0030] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new feed storage device to solve the problem that the traditional feed storage device has low utilization rate of the original bulkhead of the cage feed compartment and can only store a single feed.

[0031] Based on this, the utility model proposes a feed storage device.

[0032] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the feed storage device 1 is applied to the feed cabin 2 of the aquaculture cage. The feed storage device 1 is annular and includes a top wall 11, a bottom wall 12, an outer wall 13, an inner wall 14 and a plurality of partitions 15. The outer wall 13 is composed of the cabin wall of the feed cabin 2; an annular feed storage space is formed between the inner wall 14, the outer wall 13, the bottom wall 12 and the top wall 11; a plurality of partitions 15 are arranged between the outer wall 13 and the inner wall 14 to divide the annular feed storage space into a plurality of storage sub-spaces; and the plurality of storage sub-spaces are used to store a plurality of kinds of feed respectively.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention makes full use of the wall of the feed cabin 2 as the outer wall 13 of the feed storage device 1, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the feed cabin 2, saving materials of the feed storage device 1 and reducing the weight; and the provision of the partition 15 can divide the annular feed storage space into several independent storage sub-spaces, thereby allowing multiple feeds to be stored simultaneously in the feed storage device 1 for the breeding of multiple fish; in addition, since the feed storage device 1 is annular, there is usable space on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13, and corresponding facilities can be provided in this space area according to actual needs to improve the space utilization rate of the area on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13.

[0034] To improve space utilization on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13, in an embodiment of the present invention, a ladder or staircase is provided on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13. This allows personnel to access the bottom and top of the feed storage device 1 via the ladder or staircase, facilitating feeding and maintenance work, while also improving space utilization on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13. The ladder can be a straight ladder, a single-lift ladder, or a step-by-step ladder, and the specific structure and type of the ladder are not limited herein.

[0035] To further improve the space utilization of the area on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13, in an embodiment of the present invention, a conduit is further provided on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13. The conduit is used to route the cables of the aquaculture cage. Thus, by providing a conduit on the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13, various cables such as power cables and signal transmission cables for the aquaculture cage can be routed through the conduit, thereby fully utilizing the space of the inner wall 14 to integrate the cables and further improving the space utilization of the side of the inner wall 14 facing away from the outer wall 13.

Thus, by providing the bottom wall 12 with the plurality of conical protrusions and providing the tips of the conical protrusions as the discharge openings 121, the feed can fall more easily along the inclined surfaces of the conical protrusions under the action of gravity, facilitating feed discharge, preventing feed blockage, and preventing residual feed from remaining in the feed storage device 1.

[0037] To solve the problem of opening and closing the discharge port, in an embodiment of the present invention, a valve is provided at the discharge port. Thus, by providing a valve at the discharge port, the operator can selectively open and close the corresponding valve according to the feed supply amount, thereby solving the problem of opening and closing the discharge port.

[0038] In order to solve the problem of how to add feed to the feed storage device 1, in the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and 2The top wall 11 is provided with a plurality of feeding ports 111, and the plurality of feeding ports 111 are correspondingly connected to the plurality of storage sub-spaces; the feeding ports 111 are used to connect to an external feeding device. In this way, by providing a plurality of feeding ports 111 on the top wall 11 and correspondingly connecting the feeding ports 111 to the storage sub-spaces, the operator can feed the feed storage device 1 through the feeding ports 111. Specifically, as an optional embodiment, the feeding port 111 is connected to the external feeding device using a flange. The external feeding device can be a manual feeding funnel, and the operator uses the manual feeding funnel to manually feed. The external feeding device can also be a pneumatic conveying pipeline, and pneumatic conveying is used for feeding. The external feeding device is not limited here.

[0039] In order to solve the ventilation problem of the feed storage device 1, in the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and 2 The top wall 11 is further provided with a plurality of air holes 112, which are connected to the plurality of storage sub-spaces.

When the external feeding device is a pneumatic conveying pipeline, high-pressure gas can convey the feed into the storage sub-space and then flow out of the air holes 112, thereby balancing the air pressure inside and outside the feed storage device 1.

[0040] Furthermore, as an optional embodiment, the air vent 112 is provided with a one-way valve, which is used to allow air to flow from the storage subspace to the outside, thereby preventing humid air from the external environment from entering the storage subspace, and further preventing the feed from being affected by the external humid air and becoming moldy and deteriorating.

[0041] In order to solve the problem of how to prevent external water sources such as rainwater from entering the feed storage device 1 and causing feed contamination and deterioration, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the feed storage device 1 also includes a plurality of shielding members, some of which are detachably connected to the feeding port 111, and other parts of the shielding members are detachably connected to the air vent 112.

[0042] In this embodiment, a portion of the shielding member is detachably connected to the feeding port 111, and another portion of the shielding member is detachably connected to the air vent 112. Thus, when feeding and ventilation are not required, the shielding member can be used to shield the feeding port 111 and the air vent 112, thereby preventing external water from intruding into the feed storage device 1 and causing contamination and deterioration of the feed inside.

[0043] The present invention also proposes a breeding cage, which includes a feed storage device 1. The specific structure of the feed storage device 1 refers to the above embodiment. Since the breeding cage adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
