While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for an aquaponics system, including a water tank 1. A timed feeder 101 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the water tank 1. A top frame 2 is provided at the top of the water tank 1. A vegetable field 3 is loaded on the top frame 2. A water pump 4 is provided on the inner side of the bottom wall of the water tank 1. A first conveying pipe 5 is connected to the water pump 4 and passes through one side of the water tank 1. A transfer shell 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the first conveying pipe 5. A plurality of second conveying pipes 7 are connected to the transfer shell 6. A spray shell 8 is fixedly installed at the end of each second conveying pipe 7.
[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, the staff sets up a timed feeder 101 in advance so that the timed feeder 101 can feed fish food into the water body of the pool 1 at regular intervals for the fish to eat. By controlling the operation of the water pump 4, the water pump 4 can suck up part of the water, fish feces and fish food, and transport them into the inner side of the spray shell 8 through the first conveying pipe 5, the transfer shell 6 and the second conveying pipe 7. The spray shell 8 sprays the water into the vegetable field 3, providing irrigation and nutrients to the vegetable field 3. The nitrates and other nutrients produced in the vegetable field 3 then flow with the water through the top frame 2 to the inner side of the water body of the pool 1, thereby optimizing the water quality.
[0027] Figures 1 to 5As shown, a screen 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the transfer shell 6. A rotating rod 10 is installed through a sealed bearing on one side of the transfer shell 6. A first gear 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod 10. Multiple rotating blades 11 are fixedly installed on the rotating rod 10. A cover 13 is provided on the transfer shell 6. A drive motor 14 is provided on the cover 13. A lead screw 15 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 14. A second gear 16 that interacts with the first gear 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the lead screw 15. An opening is provided on the cover 13 corresponding to the position of the lead screw 15. A threaded block 17 is threadedly installed on the lead screw 15. A movable plate 18 is fixedly installed on the threaded block 17.
[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the operator controls the drive motor 14 to operate, causing the output end of the drive motor 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple rotating blades 11 to rotate via the rotating rod 10. The rotating blades 11 agitate the fish feces and fish food entering the intermediate transfer shell 6. The lead screw 15 drives the moving plate 18 via the threaded block 17 to push the water in the intermediate transfer shell 6 to flow. The water flow pressure, together with the screen 9, crushes the fish feces and fish food, thereby preventing blockage during transportation.
[0029] Figures 1 to 5 As shown, two fixing blocks 19 are fixedly installed on the transfer shell 6. A sleeve 20 is movably installed on each fixing block 19. A first spring 21 is connected to the inner wall of each sleeve 20. A first telescopic block 22 is connected to the end of each first spring 21. A semi-circular block 23 is fixedly installed on each first telescopic block 22, and the two semi-circular blocks 23 are fixed together with the cover 13. A card holder 24 is fixedly installed on the transfer shell 6. A circular shell 25 is fixedly installed on the cover 13. A second spring 26 is connected to the inner wall of the circular shell 25. A second telescopic block 27 that interacts with the card holder 24 is connected to the end of the second spring 26.
[0030] In this embodiment of the utility model, the operator moves the second telescopic block 27 to disengage it from the bracket 24. The first spring 21 uses its own elastic force to drive the cover 13 upward through the first telescopic block 22 and the semicircular block 23, causing the cover 13 to disengage from the transfer shell 6. The second telescopic block 27 is then released, and the second spring 26 uses its own elastic force to drive the second telescopic block 27 to reset. The cover 13 is rotated by the handle on it, causing the cover 13 to drive the shell 20 to rotate around the fixed block 19 through the semicircular block 23, the first telescopic block 22, and the first spring 21. This facilitates opening the cover 13 and allows for cleaning and maintenance work inside the transfer shell 6.
[0031] After cleaning and maintenance, rotate the cover 13 back to the top of the transfer shell 6. While moving the second telescopic block 27, press the cover 13 down so that the first telescopic block 22 moves into the inside of the shell 20. Release the second telescopic block 27 so that the second telescopic block 27 engages with the bracket 24 to fix the cover 13.
[0032] Working principle: The operator pre-sets a timed feeder 101 to periodically feed fish food into the water of the pool 1 for the fish to consume. The water pump 4 is controlled to draw in some water, fish waste, and fish food, which is then transported through the first conveying pipe 5, the transfer shell 6, and the second conveying pipe 7 into the inner side of the spray shell 8. The drive motor 14 is controlled to operate, causing the lead screw 15 to drive the second gear 16, which in turn drives the first gear 12, causing the first gear 12 to rotate. A gear 12 drives multiple rotating blades 11 to rotate via a rotating rod 10, causing the blades 11 to agitate the fish feces and fish food entering the intermediate rotating shell 6. The lead screw 15 drives the moving plate 18 via a threaded block 17 to push the water in the intermediate rotating shell 6 to flow. The water pressure, together with the screen 9, crushes the fish feces and fish food, which is then sprayed out by the spray shell 8 and poured into the vegetable field 3, providing irrigation and nutrients to the vegetable field 3. The nitrates and other nutrients produced in the vegetable field 3 then flow with the water through the top frame 2 to the inner side of the water in the pool 1, thereby optimizing the water quality.
[0033] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
