Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture cages, in particular to a feeding device based on deep-sea aquaculture cages. Background Art

[0002] Cage aquaculture is a method of raising fish in water. Its overall structure consists of a frame, net, floats, sinkers, and cables. The frame can be made of metal, wood, or bamboo, and its design must consider its ability to withstand wind and waves. The net, which includes the skirt, bottom, cover, and feeding channel, can be designed in a variety of shapes, including square, octagonal, and hexagonal.

[0003] To facilitate feeding of fish within the cages, a feeding device based on deep-sea aquaculture cages is required. For example, prior art Chinese Patent Publication No. "CN104904639A" discloses an automatic feeding yellow croaker cage aquaculture device. The device comprises a culture tank with an inlet and outlet pipes, a cage, and an aeration unit. The culture tank is provided with a support frame, within which a rotating shaft is disposed. A feeding device is provided above the cage, comprising a hopper, a flap wheel, a servo motor, and a discharge port. The feeding device is secured to the rotating shaft. A setting unit is provided on the support frame, and a control box is provided on the outer wall of the culture tank. Advantageously, the device utilizes a servo motor to drive a flap wheel for feeding, enabling precise control of the amount of bait fed. Furthermore, the device allows flexible control by setting different feeding cycles and bait amounts on a touch screen according to the different growth stages of the yellow croaker. This ensures that the amount of bait within the cage is consistently optimal for the growth of the yellow croaker, reducing worker workload and improving efficiency.

[0004] In actual operation, the feed in the hopper is discharged by the rotation of the blade wheel. This method of discharge cannot scatter the feed, resulting in the feed being scattered in the water in clumps. If the feed is too concentrated, fish will crowd together to grab food, which is less practical. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A feeding device based on a deep-sea aquaculture cage comprises a cage body 1, a feeding device 2 is provided on the top of the cage body 1 via a central floating platform, and the feeding device 2 comprises a mounting frame 21, a spreading tray 22, and a bracket 24 for fixing a storage tank 23;

[0023] The mounting frame 21 is arranged below the storage tank 23, and the top of the mounting frame is provided with the material spreading plate 22 and the material blocking plate 25, and the top of the mounting frame 21 is also provided with a driving component 3, and the driving component 3 is used to drive the mounting frame 21 and the material spreading plate 22 to rotate;

[0024] An adjustment component 4 is provided between the material baffle plate 25 and the mounting frame 21 , and the adjustment component 4 is used to adjust the material spreading range.

[0025] It should be added that the bottom of the cage body 1 is connected to a counterweight via a rope, and the periphery of the bottom is also connected to a number of anchors via ropes, which are fixed on the seabed to fix the cage body 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the driving assembly 3 includes a motor 31, and the top of the central floating platform is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 21 via a connecting rod 32. The motor 31 is fixedly mounted on one end of the mounting bracket 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the spreading plate 22 via a rotating shaft 33.

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a pair of transmission gears 34. The shaft ends of the motor 31 and the connecting rod 32 pass through the mounting bracket 21, and their shaft ends are respectively fixedly connected to the transmission gears 34. The pair of transmission gears 34 are engaged and rotated, wherein the motor 31 and the shaft ends of the rotating shaft 33 are transmitted through a transmission belt 35.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that the connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 21 and fixedly connected to the central floating platform. In this way, when the shaft end of the motor 31 rotates, the mounting frame 21 is driven to rotate through a pair of transmission gears 34. The purpose is to drive the mounting frame 21 to drive the scattering plate 22 to rotate, and prevent the feed from accumulating at a certain point by throwing the feed.

[0029] The rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the spreading plate 22, and the shaft end thereof and the shaft end of the motor 31 are both fixedly connected to synchronous wheels, and the outer periphery of the pair of synchronous wheels is provided with the transmission belt 35;

[0030] It should be noted that the diameter of the synchronous wheel set at the shaft end of the motor 31 is larger than that of the other synchronous wheel. The spreading plate 22 rotates quickly by driving the small transmission ratio with a large transmission ratio. Of course, the connecting rod 32 is set between the synchronous wheels on both sides and does not contact the transmission belt 35.

[0031] In more detail, the spreading plate 22 is a frustum structure, and a plurality of stop plates 251 are provided on the top along the axis, wherein the stop plate 25 is a V-shaped structure, and is provided on one side of the spreading plate 22 and is gap-fitted with the spreading plate 22.

[0032] Specifically, the discharge pipe of the storage tank 23 is arranged above the spreading plate 22, and an electric valve is also provided in the discharge pipe.

[0033] In general, the adjustment assembly 4 includes an unlocking rod 41 and an extension plate 26. Grooves are provided on both sides of the baffle plate 25. The extension plate 26 is rotatably connected to the groove through the side extension part 261. A limiting strip 5 is provided on the outer top of the unlocking rod 41.

[0034] Finally, a plurality of grooves 43 are arranged in a semicircular array around the unlocking rod 41 at the top of the extension portion 261 , and the limiting strips 5 are plugged into the grooves 43 .

[0035] It is worth mentioning that the adjustment component is used to adjust the angle between the extension plate 26 and the scattering plate 22. The larger the angle, that is, the farther the free end of the extension plate 26 is from the scattering plate 22, the larger the throwing range can be. The smaller the angle, the more concentrated the throwing range.

[0036] The unlocking lever 41 is slidably connected to the baffle plate 25 through the limit bar 5, and the limit bar 5 prevents the unlocking lever 41 and the baffle plate 25 from rotating freely. The extension plate 26 is fixed by inserting the limit bar 5 into the groove 43;

[0037] In addition, the two ends of the spring 42 are fixedly connected to the protrusion and the side of the material blocking plate 25 respectively. After the unlocking rod 41 is pulled upward to disengage the limit bar 5 from the groove 43, the extension plate 26 can be rotated. After releasing the unlocking rod 41, the unlocking rod 41 is reset by the spring 42, and the limit bar 5 is inserted into the groove 43 to fix the extension plate 26.

[0038] Working mode: When working, when the spreading range needs to be adjusted, pull the unlocking lever 41 upward to disengage the limit bar 5 from the groove 43, and rotate the extension plate 26 to adjust the angle between the extension plate 26 and the spreading plate 22;

[0039] Then, after releasing the unlocking lever 41, the unlocking lever 41 is lifted and reset under the action of the spring 42, and the limit bar 5 is plugged into the groove 43 to fix the extension plate 26;

[0040] Finally, when the shaft end of the motor 31 rotates, the mounting frame 21 is driven to rotate through a pair of transmission gears 34. At the same time, the shaft end of the motor 31 rotates, and the material spreading plate 22 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 35. The material spreading plate 22 cooperates with the material blocking plate 25 to spread the material.

[0041] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
