[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] It has been found that in the existing feasible technology, a bait feeding machine suitable for vertical snail farming can be composed as described below.

[0023] 1. Structural composition

[0024] hopper:

[0025] It is usually located at the upper part of the baitcaster and is in the shape of a funnel or a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0026] The material is generally made of corrosion-resistant, lightweight and strong plastic or metal, such as stainless steel. The hopper is used to store snail feed. The capacity can be designed according to the scale of the breeding. It can be a few liters for small household use or dozens of liters or even larger for large farms to meet the feeding needs of different time periods and reduce the trouble of frequent feeding.

[0027] Unloading device:

[0028] Connected to the bottom of the hopper, it includes an adjustable discharge port and components for controlling the discharge amount, such as a screw conveyor or a vibrating feeder.

[0029] The spiral conveyor pushes the feed at a constant speed to the outlet below through a rotating screw, and the output can be precisely controlled by adjusting the screw speed. A vibrating feeder uses vibration to evenly drop the feed, and the output can also be regulated by adjusting parameters such as the vibration frequency. This allows for accurate delivery of the appropriate amount of feed based on factors such as the snail's growth stage and stocking density, avoiding feed waste or underfeeding.

[0030] Feeding tube:

[0031] It is the channel for transporting feed from the feeding device to the breeding area. It is generally a cylindrical pipe made of plastic or metal.

[0032] The length of the feeding tube can be customized to the height of the breeding box or breeding rack, ensuring accurate feed delivery to all levels of the snail breeding system. Its inner diameter should be appropriately sized to ensure smooth feed flow without clogging the tube. Some feeding tubes may also be equipped with a cleaning device to facilitate regular removal of residual feed to prevent spoilage and potential health risks to the snails.

[0033] Distributor:

[0034] Located at the end of the feeding tube, its function is to evenly distribute the feed transported from the feeding tube in the snail breeding area.

[0035] Common distributors come in a variety of shapes, including discs and fans. Disc distributors can spread the feed evenly in all directions through rotation, while fan distributors spread the feed in a fan-shaped area, allowing the feed to cover a larger breeding area, giving every snail a chance to get food and ensuring uniform feeding.

[0036] Support structure:

[0037] Used to support the entire baitcasting machine so that it can stand stably in the breeding site.

[0038] This can be a simple metal bracket, such as a tripod or four-post frame made of welded stainless steel or galvanized steel pipes, or a support component designed to be integrated with the farming equipment. The support structure must be strong and stable enough to withstand the weight of a fully filled hopper and the vibrations that may occur during operation, ensuring that the feeding machine does not tip over during use and that feeding can proceed normally.

[0039] Control system:

[0040] It is the core part of the bait throwing machine, generally including controller, timer, sensor and other components.

[0041] The controller is used to set various feeding parameters, such as feeding time, feeding amount, feeding interval, etc.; the timer can automatically start and stop the feeding operation according to a pre-set time pattern, such as feeding at specific times such as morning and evening every day; the sensor can detect the activity of snails in the breeding area, the remaining feed amount and other information, and feed this information back to the controller so that the feeding strategy can be adjusted in time according to the actual situation, realizing intelligent feeding and improving the accuracy and scientificity of feeding.

[0042] 2. Working Principle

[0043] Timed baiting:

[0044] The operator sets the daily feeding time through the timer of the control system, such as 8 am and 5 pm every day.

[0045] When the set feeding time is reached, the control system will issue an instruction to start the feeding device, so that the feed in the hopper is transported to the distributor through the feeding device and the feeding tube, and then the distributor will evenly spread the feed in the snail breeding area, completing a feeding operation.

[0046] Quantitative feeding:

[0047] The amount of bait to be fed each time is set in advance in the control system, which is achieved by adjusting the discharge control component of the feeding device.

[0048] When feeding is started, the feeding device delivers the feed according to the set discharge volume, ensuring that the amount of feed fed to the snail each time meets the requirements of its growth stage and breeding density. It will neither waste feed and deteriorate the breeding environment due to excessive feeding, nor affect the growth and development of the snail due to insufficient feeding.

[0049] Intelligent control:

[0050] With the help of sensors, the activity of snails and the amount of feed remaining in the breeding area are monitored.

[0051] If the sensor detects that the snail is active frequently, it may mean that the snail is hungry. At this time, the control system can appropriately increase the amount of feed or advance the next feeding time according to the preset algorithm; if it detects that there is a large amount of residual feed, it means that the previous feeding may be excessive, then the amount of feed can be reduced accordingly or the feeding interval can be extended, thereby realizing intelligent regulation of feeding according to actual conditions and improving breeding efficiency.

[0052] 3. Features and advantages

[0053] Precision baiting:

[0054] It can accurately control parameters such as feeding time, feeding amount and feeding interval to meet the feeding needs of snails in different growth stages and different breeding densities.

[0055] This helps ensure that the snails get sufficient and suitable food, promoting their healthy growth, while also effectively avoiding feed waste and reducing breeding costs.

[0056] Uniform distribution:

[0057] The design of the distributor allows the feed to be spread evenly across the snail farming area, ensuring that every snail has an equal opportunity to access food.

[0058] This is especially important for social snails, as it can prevent uneven growth of snails due to excessive or insufficient feed in some areas, and improve the quality and consistency of farmed products.

[0059] Intelligent management:

[0060] The intelligent functions of the control system, such as monitoring through sensors and adjusting the feeding strategy according to actual conditions, make the feeding operation more scientific and reasonable.

[0061] Farmers no longer need to stay at the breeding site all the time to observe the snails and feed them, which saves a lot of manpower and time. At the same time, they can better respond to various changes in the breeding process and improve breeding efficiency and management level.

[0062] Save space:

[0063] With a vertical design, the feeding machine can be placed compactly in the breeding site, taking up relatively little space.

[0064] For small farms or family farming with limited space, this design is very practical and can achieve efficient feeding operations in a limited space.

[0065] IV. Application Scenarios

[0066] Home snail farming:

[0067] For some families who like to raise snails as pets or conduct small-scale ornamental breeding, this feeding machine is easy to operate, compact in size and can feed accurately.

[0068] The feeding parameters can be easily set to meet the dietary needs of snails in a home breeding environment, while saving the time and energy of manual feeding.

[0069] Small snail farm:

[0070] In small commercial snail farms, the breeding scale is relatively small, but accurate and efficient feeding methods are also required.

[0071] The feeding machine can set feeding parameters according to the actual situation of the farm, achieve uniform feeding, ensure the growth quality of snails, and improve the economic benefits of the farm.

[0072] Snail scientific research breeding:

[0073] When conducting snail-related research in scientific research institutions, it is necessary to strictly control the snail breeding conditions, including feeding conditions.

[0074] This intelligent feeding machine can accurately set feeding parameters according to scientific research requirements, and can monitor feedback information through sensors to provide accurate data for scientific researchers, facilitating the study of snail growth patterns, eating habits and other aspects.

[0075] This feeding machine, which is suitable for vertical snail farming, can play an important role in various scenarios such as family farming, small farms, and scientific research farming due to its characteristics of precise feeding, uniform distribution, and intelligent management, and can help improve the quality and efficiency of snail farming.
