Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a rotating aquaculture feeding buoy. Background Technology
[0002] A buoy is a navigational aid that floats on the water surface. It is anchored in a designated location to mark the extent of a waterway, indicate shoals, obstructions to navigation, or indicate a specific purpose. Buoys are the most numerous and widely used navigational aids, and some buoys are also frequently used in the aquaculture industry.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN208181356U discloses a buoy for aquaculture, comprising a buoy shell with a cavity inside. A protruding post is located at the center of the top of the buoy shell, into which a feed hose is inserted. The bottom of the feed hose passes through the buoy shell and connects to a sphere. A storage cavity is located inside the sphere, and a ceramic layer is fixed to the inner wall of the storage cavity. The surface of the protruding post is threaded, and a weight is connected to the protruding post via the threads. The weight is connected to one or more connecting ropes, each of which passes through a float and connects to the sphere. Each connecting rope is connected to a support block via one or more springs. The bottom of the buoy shell is fixed... A metal layer and a magnetic layer are fixed to the top of the sphere, with the metal layer and the magnetic layer aligned and located in the gap between the springs. This utility model has a simple structure, high buoy strength, and is not easily damaged. It can feed fish, making it more practical. It is not easily blown away by the wind. The above-mentioned existing technical solutions have the following shortcomings: Since the buoy generates airflow through spring compression to avoid feed blockage, and because the release position is relatively concentrated and the feeding range is small, fish will collide with each other during the feeding process, causing damage, which will also lead to damage to the buoy. Therefore, it is necessary to design a rotating aquaculture feeding buoy to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotating aquaculture feeding buoy to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where concentrated feeding causes damage to fry during feeding.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rotary aquaculture feeding buoy, comprising a feeding buoy body, an installation frame mounted on the outer side of the feeding buoy body, and an anti-collision sleeve mounted on the top of the installation frame. Anti-collision protrusions are evenly installed on the outer side of the anti-collision sleeve. A feeding box and an installation groove are respectively installed at both ends of the feeding buoy body. Through holes are evenly arranged inside the installation groove. A rotating shaft is installed inside the installation groove, and connecting plates are evenly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft. A dual-head motor is installed inside the feeding buoy body. A feeding box is installed at the top of the buoy body, and a sealing cover is installed at the top of the feeding box. Solar photovoltaic panels are evenly installed at the top of the feeding box. A battery and a microcontroller are installed on both sides of the inside of the feeding box. A connecting mechanism is evenly arranged inside the feeding box. An electric telescopic rod is installed inside the feeding box, and a partition is installed on one side of the electric telescopic rod. A stirring assembly is installed inside the feeding box. A discharge chute is evenly arranged inside the feeding box. A control button and a water level sensor are installed on one side of the feeding box.
[0006] When using a rotary aquaculture feeding buoy of this technical solution, the electric telescopic rod and double-headed motor are started by controlling the button. Under the rotation of the stirring component, the feed is dispersed and fed through the discharge trough. The rotation of the connecting plate increases the water flow, further dispersing the feed and expanding the feeding range. This avoids the fish colliding with each other and getting injured while competing for food.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a receiving groove, which is disposed inside the feeding box. A pull rod is installed inside the receiving groove, and a spring is installed on the outside of the pull rod inside the receiving groove. A pull ring and a limiting block are respectively installed on both sides of the pull rod. A positioning rod is installed at the top of the mounting frame, and a limiting groove is provided inside the positioning rod. A positioning groove is provided inside the anti-collision sleeve. The positioning rod passes through the inside of the positioning groove, and the limiting block passes through the inside of the limiting groove.
[0008] Preferably, the cross-sectional size of the positioning rod is equal to the cross-sectional size of the positioning groove, and the positioning rod and the positioning groove are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the feeding buoy body.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting blocks are provided in two sets, and each set of limiting blocks has two blocks.
[0010] Preferably, the output terminal of the water level sensor is electrically connected to the input terminal of the microcontroller via a wire, the output terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the input terminal of the electric telescopic rod via a wire, and the output terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the input terminal of the dual-head motor via a wire.
[0011] Preferably, the stirring assembly consists of a connecting shaft and stirring blades, wherein the stirring blades are arranged at equal intervals on the outer side of the connecting shaft.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the rotating aquaculture feeding buoy achieves the effect of decentralized feeding and also achieves the effect of collision prevention;
[0013] By controlling the button, the electric telescopic rod and dual-head motor are activated. Under the rotation of the stirring component, the feed is dispersed and discharged through the discharge trough. The rotation of the connecting plate increases the water flow, further dispersing the feed and expanding the feeding range. This prevents fish from colliding and getting injured while competing for food. With the cooperation of the water level sensor and the microcontroller, the electric telescopic rod and dual-head motor are activated after all the feed in the feeding box has been distributed, which saves more energy. At the same time, a message is sent to the staff to remind them. The solar photovoltaic panel converts solar energy into electricity, which is stored in the battery and then used to power the electric telescopic rod, dual-head motor, water level sensor and microcontroller to ensure continuous operation.
[0014] The outer side of the feeding buoy body is protected by anti-collision sleeves and anti-collision protrusions, which protects the feeding buoy body and extends its service life. The connecting mechanism makes it easy to separate the anti-collision sleeve from the feeding buoy body, making it easy to replace the anti-collision sleeve and maintain its protective effect.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model provides: a rotary aquaculture feeding buoy, including a feeding buoy body 11, an installation frame 10 installed on the outside of the feeding buoy body 11, and an anti-collision sleeve 8 installed on the top of the installation frame 10. Anti-collision protrusions 21 are evenly installed on the outside of the anti-collision sleeve 8. A feeding box 2 and an installation groove 13 are respectively installed at both ends of the feeding buoy body 11. Through holes 14 are evenly arranged inside the installation groove 13. A rotating shaft 16 is installed inside the installation groove 13, and a connecting plate 15 is evenly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 16. A double-head motor 12 is installed inside the feeding buoy body 11. A feeding box 2 is installed on the top of the feeding buoy body 11, and a sealing cover 1 is installed on the top of the feeding box 2. A solar photovoltaic panel 20 is evenly installed on the top of the feeding box 2. A battery 3 and a microcontroller 19 are respectively installed on both sides inside the feeding box 2. A connecting mechanism 7 is evenly arranged inside the feeding box 2.
[0024] The connecting mechanism 7 includes a receiving groove 705, which is located inside the feeding box 2. A pull rod 707 is installed inside each receiving groove 705, and a spring 706 is installed on the outer side of each pull rod 707 inside the receiving groove 705. A pull ring 704 and a limiting block 703 are respectively installed on both sides of each pull rod 707. A positioning rod 701 is installed at the top of each mounting frame 10, and a limiting groove 708 is provided inside each positioning rod 701. A positioning groove 702 is provided inside each anti-collision sleeve 8. The positioning rod 701 passes through the interior of the positioning groove 702, and the limiting block 703 passes through the interior of the limiting groove 708. The cross-sectional size of the positioning rod 701 is equal to the cross-sectional size of the positioning groove 702. The positioning rod 701 and the positioning groove 702 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the feeding buoy body 11. Two sets of limiting blocks 703 are provided, with two blocks in each set.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, during use, the connecting mechanism 7 facilitates the separation of the anti-collision sleeve 8 and the main body 11 of the feeding buoy, making it easy to replace the anti-collision sleeve 8 and maintain its protective effect.
[0026] The inside of the feeding box 2 is equipped with an electric telescopic rod 4, and a partition 5 is installed on one side of the electric telescopic rod 4. The inside of the feeding box 2 is equipped with a mixing assembly 6.
[0027] The stirring assembly 6 consists of a connecting shaft and stirring blades, with the stirring blades arranged at equal intervals on the outer side of the connecting shaft;
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, during use, the water flow speed is increased by connecting the shaft and the stirring blades;
[0029] The inside of the feeding box 2 is evenly provided with discharge troughs 9, a control button 17 is installed on one side of the feeding box 2, and a water level sensor 18 is installed on one side of the feeding box 2.
[0030] The output terminal of the water level sensor 18 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the microcontroller 19 via a wire. The output terminal of the microcontroller 19 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the electric telescopic rod 4 via a wire. The output terminal of the microcontroller 19 is also electrically connected to the input terminal of the dual-head motor 12 via a wire.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, during use, the water level sensor 18 detects the water level and transmits the relevant data to the microcontroller 19 for processing in real time. When the feed inside the feeding box 2 is exhausted, the water level sensor 18 detects that the data has reached the specified value. The microcontroller 19 then controls the electric telescopic rod 4 to close the partition 5 to the feeding port. The microcontroller 19 also controls the dual-head motor 12 to shut off and sends a message to the staff to remind them.
[0032] Working principle: When using this utility model, when it is necessary to feed the main body 11 of the feeding buoy, after moving the main body 11 of the feeding buoy to the designated position, the control button 17 is activated, which causes the electric telescopic rod 4 to drive the partition 5 to open the feeding port. At the same time, the dual-head motor 12 is started, which drives the connecting plate 15 and the stirring assembly 6 to rotate. With the cooperation of the discharge trough 9 and the connecting plate 15, the feed is dispersed and sprinkled. When the feed in the feeding box 2 is finished, the water level sensor 18 detects that the data has reached the specified value and transmits the relevant data to the real-time single-chip microcomputer 19 for processing. The single-chip microcomputer 19 controls the electric telescopic rod 4 to close the partition 5 to the feeding port, and controls the dual-head motor 12 to close. At the same time, the single-chip microcomputer 19 sends a message to the staff to remind them. The solar photovoltaic panel 20 converts the solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery 3. The battery 3 then powers the electric telescopic rod 4, the dual-head motor 12, the water level sensor 18 and the single-chip microcomputer 19 to maintain continuous use.
[0033] The outer side of the feeding buoy body 11 is protected by the anti-collision sleeve 8 and the anti-collision protrusion 21. When the anti-collision sleeve 8 needs to be replaced, the limit block 703 is separated from the pull ring 704 by pulling the pull ring 704, so that the anti-collision sleeve 8 and the positioning rod 701 are separated as a whole. The replacement can be carried out by reversing the operation.
