Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber farming, specifically a feeding device for sea cucumber farming. Background Technology

[0002] Current sea cucumber farming methods often involve manually sprinkling feed. This method has many shortcomings. Due to the uneven distribution of sea cucumbers in the farming pond, it is difficult to achieve uniform feeding by manually sprinkling feed. As a result, some sea cucumbers do not receive sufficient nutrition, while others are wasted due to overfeeding. Manually sprinkling feed requires a lot of manpower, especially in large-scale farming, where labor costs increase significantly. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a feeding device for sea cucumber farming.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A feeding device for sea cucumber farming includes a large farming tank with two partitions fixedly connected inside, dividing the large farming tank into three smaller farming tanks of equal size. A water inlet pipe is located at the upper front of the large farming tank, and three branch water pipes are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water inlet pipe. Each of the three branch water pipes is fixedly connected to the top front of one of the three smaller farming tanks. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom front of each of the smaller farming tanks. Valves are installed on both the branch water pipes and the drain pipes. Two support shafts are distributed front and rear on the top inner side of the large farming tank, vertically penetrating the partitions and rotatably connected to them. The left and right ends of the support shafts are rotatably connected to the left and right inner walls of the large farming tank, respectively. The right end of the support shaft penetrates the large farming tank and is fixedly connected to a conical tooth. Wheel 1 has a fixed seat between the two bevel gears 1. The fixed seat is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the large breeding pond. A drive shaft is rotatably connected inside the fixed seat. Both ends of the drive shaft are fixedly connected to bevel gears 2, which mesh with bevel gears 1. A motor is fixedly installed on the left outer wall of the large breeding pond. The right end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the left end of a support shaft. Above the small breeding pond is a feed box. The bottom of the feed box is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the distribution pipes. The distribution pipes are square pipes. The two distribution pipes are inclined forward and backward respectively. Two support shafts pass through the bottom ends of the two distribution pipes respectively. The bottom ends of the two distribution pipes are rotatably connected to the two support shafts respectively. Inside the distribution pipes is a feed distributor, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support shaft.

[0006] The distributor includes two fixed plates, which are circular and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support shaft. The two fixed plates are located on the inner walls of opposite sides of the distribution pipe. The fixed plates are rotatably connected to the distribution pipe. Four partition plates are fixedly connected between the opposite side walls of the two fixed plates. The four partition plates are axially arranged and distributed at equal angles. Several partition plates are fixedly connected between the outer walls of two adjacent partition plates. The partition plates are radially arranged and the partition plates and partition plates separate several distribution troughs.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0008] This invention, through the design of a feed distributor, allows feed to be evenly distributed to each small aquaculture pond, achieving quantitative feeding. This helps control the amount of feed given, avoiding waste and the negative impact of overfeeding on sea cucumbers. Attached Figure Description

[0017] like Figure 1-7As shown: A feeding device for sea cucumber farming includes a large farming pond 1. Two partitions 2 are fixedly connected inside the large farming pond 1, dividing it into three smaller farming ponds 3 of equal size. A water inlet pipe 4 is located on the upper front side of the large farming pond 1. Three branch pipes 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 4, and each branch pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top front side of one of the three smaller farming ponds 3. A drain pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of each smaller farming pond 3. Valves are installed on both the branch pipes 5 and the drain pipes 6. Two support shafts 8 are distributed front and rear on the top inner side of the large farming pond 1. The support shafts 8 vertically penetrate the partitions 2 and are rotatably connected to the partitions 2. The left and right ends of the support shafts 8 are rotatably connected to the left and right inner walls of the large farming pond 1, respectively. The right end of the support shaft 8 penetrates the large farming pond 1 and is fixedly connected to a bevel gear 9. A fixed seat 10 is provided between gear 9. The fixed seat 10 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the large breeding pond 1. A drive shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the fixed seat 10. Both ends of the drive shaft 11 are fixedly connected to bevel gear 12. Bevel gear 12 meshes with bevel gear 9. A motor 13 is fixedly installed on the left outer wall of the large breeding pond 1. The right end of the output shaft of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the left end of a support shaft 8. A feed box 14 is provided above the small breeding pond 3. The bottom of the feed box 14 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the feed box 14 by a diversion pipe 15. The diversion pipe 15 is a square pipe. The two diversion pipes 15 are inclined to the front and rear sides respectively. The two support shafts 8 pass through the bottom ends of the two diversion pipes 15 respectively. The bottom ends of the two diversion pipes 15 are rotatably connected to the two support shafts 8 respectively. A feed distributor is provided inside the diversion pipe 15. The feed distributor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support shaft 8.

[0018] The distributor includes two fixed plates 16, which are circular and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support shaft 8. The two fixed plates 16 are located on the inner walls of opposite sides of the distribution pipe 15. The fixed plates 16 are rotatably connected to the distribution pipe 15. Four partitions 17 are fixedly connected between the opposite side walls of the two fixed plates 16. The four partitions 17 are axially arranged and distributed at equal angles. Several partitions 2 18 are fixedly connected between the outer walls of two adjacent partitions 17. The partitions 2 18 are radially arranged and the partitions 17 and 2 18 separate several distribution troughs 19.

[0019] Motor 13 is a servo motor.

[0020] After the device is installed, the three small breeding ponds 3 are separated by partitions 2, and each small breeding pond 3 can independently carry out sea cucumber breeding. The water inlet pipe 4 provides water to each small breeding pond 3 through the water distribution pipe 5. The drain pipe 6 is used to discharge wastewater or regulate the water level. The feed box 14 is located above each small breeding pond 3, and its bottom is connected to the inclined diversion pipe 15.

[0021] When it is time to feed, the feed box 14 is filled with feed, the motor 13 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 13 drives the support shaft 8 connected to it to rotate. Since the support shaft 8 is connected to the transmission shaft 11 and another support shaft 8 through bevel gear 1 9 and bevel gear 2 12, the two support shafts 8 will rotate synchronously.

[0022] As the support shaft 8 rotates, the feeder fixed on it also rotates. When the feeder rotates, the feed enters the feed trough 19 from the feed box 14 through the diversion pipe 15, and is evenly distributed to each small breeding pond 3 as the feeder rotates.

[0023] When motor 13 stops working, support shaft 8 and feeder also stop rotating, and the feeding process ends. This utility model only protects the mechanical parts; functions implemented through software control are not within the scope of protection of this utility model.
