Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fish tank feeding, and more specifically, to a fish tank feeder structure. Background Art

[0002] Feeding is an important part of the fish breeding process. Usually, fish need to follow the principles of "timing, quality, quantity, regular inspection and positioning" during the feeding process. Timing means that there must be a certain time for feeding, and it should be adjusted appropriately according to the season, water temperature, weather and other conditions; quality means that the bait should be fresh, palatable, nutritionally balanced, and free of pathogens and toxic substances; quantity means that according to the size of the fish, the feed should be fed appropriately and evenly in different seasons and at different times, and it should not be too much or too little; regular inspection means that the remaining bait should be checked after the fish have finished eating, so as to judge the fish's eating situation in time and determine whether the fish has abnormal behavior; positioning means that the feeding should be done in a fixed position, which is convenient for fish to form feeding location habits and is also convenient for inspection and management.

[0003] It is difficult to limit the location of fish food when feeding it directly. The fish food will be carried everywhere by the water flow under the action of buoyancy. The existing feeding ring can only control the floating fish food from flying around in the fish tank, but cannot collect the remaining fish food. The fish food will deteriorate after being soaked in the fish tank for a long time, causing the water quality to deteriorate, thereby affecting the health of the fish, and even worse, causing the death of the fish.

[0004] After searching, a Chinese patent with publication number CN205682182U discloses a fish tank feeder. The top of the cylindrical feeder body is higher than the water surface. By throwing bait into the top opening of the feeder body, fish enter the feeder through the notch on the side wall of the feeder body. After feeding, they return to the outside of the feeder through the notch. Some of the remaining fish food sinks to the bottom of the feeder body under the action of gravity. By removing the feeder body, it can be cleaned, which can completely solve the problem of fish food floating around, promote fish growth, facilitate the inspection of residual bait, and improve the fish growth environment.

[0005] In actual use, the above-mentioned fish tank feeder has a common movement device that causes serious loss of fish food. During the feeding process, due to the back-and-forth rotation of the feed bin, the fish food particles are easily ground into powder during the rotation, resulting in waste of fish food. In addition, it is impossible to achieve quantitative feeding for fish feed of different particles. Utility Model Content

[0032] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a feeding trough 3 is opened on the right side of the pushing plate 4, a rubber baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the left end of the inner side of the pushing plate 4, a silo cover 13 is provided at the top end of the inner side of the outer shell 1, a ramp plate is provided inside the silo cover 13, the silo cover 13 is detachably connected to the top end of the inner side of the outer shell 1 by screws, and the ramp plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer shell 1, and the ramp plate can facilitate the fish food to fall along the slope, so that the fish food can fall stably into the feeding trough 3, so that the fish food can fall completely, reducing the deterioration of the fish food inside the outer shell 1 for a long time.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the lower shell 7 is fixedly connected to the fish tank fixing plate 8, and a locking screw 9 is installed in the middle of the left side of the fish tank fixing plate 8. The two connecting columns on the top of the fish tank fixing plate 8 are plugged and fixed to the bottom end of the lower shell 7. The middle of one side of the fish tank fixing plate 8 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the locking screw 9. The locking screw 9 is threadedly connected to the inner end of the fish tank fixing plate 8, so that the outer shell 1 can be stably fixed on the fish tank, which is convenient for accurate feeding of fish food.

[0034] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model designs a fish tank feeder structure, the specific structure is as shown in the attached manual. Figure 1-4As shown, in the present technical solution, through the mutual cooperation between various structures, first the inner side of the fish tank fixing plate 8 is installed on the top of one side of the fish tank, and then the locking screw 9 is turned, and the locking screw 9 is threadedly connected with one end of the inner side of the fish tank fixing plate 8, so that one end of the locking screw 9 can be against one end of the fish tank, which is convenient for fixing the whole to the top of one end of the fish tank. When feeding is needed, the motor 12 is started, and the motor 12 is used to drive the connecting rod 10 to move through the rocker 11. Under the deceleration of the gear set, a predetermined speed is output through the rocker 11. The rocker 11 cooperates with the connecting rod 10 and the pusher plate 4 to form a crank slider structure, which changes the rotation of the rocker 11 into the linear movement of the pusher plate 4, and uses the two sides of the bottom end of the pusher plate 4 to move with the pusher plate 4. The groove inside the lower shell 7 slides, allowing the push plate 4 to reciprocate. When the push plate 4 moves outward, the fish food can be transported to the feeding trough 3 through the ramp plate inside the outer shell 1. The reciprocating motion of the push plate 4 can be used to transport the fish food to the rotating cover 6. The rotating cover 6 rotates downward under the gravity of the fish food to transport the fish food to the fish tank. When the push plate 4 contracts, the gravity of the fish food is lost on the rotating cover 6, and the two torsion springs 5 ​​are reset to drive the rotating cover 6 to rotate upward, thereby realizing automatic filling and automatic feeding functions, reducing the situation of granular fish food being ground into powder, and at the same time, the rotating cover 6 can isolate the fish food from the outside air when not fed to prevent it from clumping due to encountering humid air.
