Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to an anti-backdraft structure for aquaculture equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, my country's aquaculture industry has developed significantly, with pond aquaculture accounting for 80% of China's aquaculture output. Feed is an important input in aquaculture production, and whether the feed feeding technology is reasonable is one of the most important factors affecting the results of pond aquaculture and environmental and ecological benefits.

[0003] Currently, there are numerous publicly available patents related to aquaculture equipment. For example, the technical solution of Chinese patent document (publication number: CN206791400U, patent name: an automatic feed dispensing device for aquaculture) discloses that "the feed dispensing device includes a mounting frame, a feed bucket, a three-way feed pipe, a blower, and a discharge head; the mounting frame is installed on the upper surface of the floating plate, the feed bucket is detachably installed on the mounting frame, the bottom end of the feed bucket has a feed outlet, a mesh is installed at the feed outlet, the first end of the three-way feed pipe is connected to the feed outlet through the mesh, the second end of the three-way feed pipe is connected to the air outlet of the blower, the third end of the three-way feed pipe is connected to the discharge head, the second end of the three-way feed pipe and the third end of the three-way feed pipe are on the same straight line, the discharge head is located directly above the water surface, and the blower is connected to the controller."

[0004] Based on the description and drawings in the patent document, when the automatic feeding device feeds the feed, it uses a blower to blow the feed falling under gravity from the third end of the three-way feed tube, so that the feed falls into the water. However, since the first, second and third ends of the three-way feed tube are connected, the air blown in by the blower from the second end may also enter the first end, causing cross-flow and affecting the normal discharge of the feed.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to disclose a wind-proof structure for aquaculture equipment to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides an anti-backdraft structure for aquaculture equipment. By installing a conical air guide pipe inside a three-way pipe, the direction of gas flow is made clearer, preventing the gas path from deviating and effectively improving the feeding efficiency.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A backdraft prevention structure for aquaculture equipment includes a three-way pipe body. The three-way pipe body has a feed inlet at its upper end, an air inlet on one side, and a discharge end on the other side. A conical air guide pipe is installed inside the three-way pipe body, located between the air inlet and discharge ends, with its length following the direction of the line connecting the centers of the air inlet and discharge ends. The air inlet, air guide pipe, and discharge end are connected, with the air guide pipe located below the feed inlet. The air guide pipe has a conical outer wall, and the horizontal projected area of ​​the feed inlet opening is located on the conical outer wall. A flow channel is provided between the conical outer wall and the inner wall of the three-way pipe body, and the feed inlet, flow channel, and discharge end are connected.

[0009] Furthermore, the line connecting the center of the air inlet end and the center of the material outlet end coincides with the central axis of the air duct and is perpendicular to the central axis of the material inlet end.

[0010] Furthermore, the air duct is provided with an air inlet at one end and an air outlet at the other end, with the air inlet located on the side closer to the air inlet and the air outlet located on the side closer to the material outlet.

[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the air inlet is larger than the diameter of the air outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, a first arc is formed at the junction of the feed end and the air inlet end, and a second arc is formed at the junction of the feed end and the discharge end; the flow channel is located between the second arc and the outer wall of the cone.

[0013] Furthermore, a first step is formed between the first arc position and the feed end, and a second step is formed between the first arc position and the air inlet end.

[0014] Furthermore, the three-way pipe is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the feed end.

[0015] Furthermore, the edge of the air outlet expands outward to form a limiting mounting edge, which is used in conjunction with the second step.

[0016] Furthermore, the side of the limiting mounting edge facing the outer wall of the conical surface is flat.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the limiting mounting edge matches the inner diameter of the feed end.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] The blown-in gas enters the air duct at the inlet and flows to the outlet. This design makes the gas flow direction clearer and prevents the gas path from deviating. The air duct is conical. As the gas flows from the inlet to the outlet, the cross-sectional area gradually decreases, i.e., the aperture gradually decreases. The high-speed flow of the gas in the air duct creates high pressure, which creates a certain negative pressure around the outlet of the air duct, i.e., creates a negative pressure in the flow channel. This attracts the feed to smoothly enter the flow channel and finally fall into the outlet. Finally, the gas blows the feed out of the outlet. The design of the air duct also prevents the gas from blowing upwards to the inlet and causing backflow, thus preventing backflow. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, an anti-backdraft structure for aquaculture equipment includes a three-way pipe body 1. The upper end of the three-way pipe body 1 has a feed inlet 101, and one side of the three-way pipe body 1 has an air inlet 102 connected to a blower or other air-blowing equipment. The other side of the three-way pipe body 1 has a discharge end 103. A conical air guide duct 2 is installed inside the three-way pipe body 1, located between the air inlet 102 and the discharge end 103, and the length of the air guide duct 2 is along the length of the air inlet 102 and the discharge end 103. 3. The center line connecting the two is opened in the direction so that the airflow blown in from the blower or other blowing equipment is blown along the length of the air guide duct 2; the air inlet end 102, the air guide duct 2 and the discharge end 103 are connected, and the air guide duct 2 is located below the feed end 101; the air guide duct 2 has a conical outer wall 204, and the horizontal projected area of ​​the opening of the feed end 101 is located on the conical outer wall 204. This can prevent the airflow of the air guide duct 2 from blowing upward into the feed end 101 and forming cross-flow, which has the function of preventing backflow. A flow channel 3 is provided between the outer wall 204 of the cone and the inner wall of the three-way pipe 1. The feed end 101, the flow channel 3, and the discharge end 103 are connected. The gas blown out by the blower enters the air guide pipe 2 through the air inlet 102, and then enters the discharge end 103 from the air guide pipe 2. At the same time, the feed enters the three-way pipe 1 from the feed end 101. Since the air guide pipe 2 is conical, and the cone gradually narrows in accordance with the airflow direction, the gas will flow in the air guide pipe 2 and near the outlet of the air guide pipe 2. The high-pressure acceleration is achieved by creating a certain negative pressure around the outlet of the air duct 2 when the wind speed is high. This negative pressure creates a negative pressure in the flow channel 3. The negative pressure will have a certain adsorption force on the feed falling from the feed end 101, so that the feed is sucked into the flow channel 3 and falls into the discharge end 103. Finally, the feed is blown out of the discharge end 103 by the gas. This setting can make the gas flow direction clearer, effectively prevent the gas path from deviating, and improve the feeding efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the taper of the outer wall 204 of the conical surface of the air duct 2 is 35°. The inventor discovered that the 35-degree conical structure can ensure that the flow of gas through the air duct 2 is sufficient, while not affecting the entry of feed into the flow channel 3.

[0029] The line connecting the center of the air inlet 102 and the center of the discharge end 103 coincides with the central axis of the air duct 2 and is perpendicular to the central axis of the feed end 101, making the overall structure stable and symmetrical.

[0030] One end of the air duct 2 is provided with an air inlet 201, and the other end of the air duct 2 is provided with an air outlet 202. The air inlet 201 is located on the side near the air inlet end 102, and the air outlet 202 is located on the side near the discharge end 103. The diameter of the air inlet 201 is larger than the diameter of the air outlet 202. When the gas flows from the air inlet 201 to the air outlet 202, the gas flow rate increases continuously due to the gradual reduction of the cross-sectional area. Furthermore, the gas gradually converges towards the central axis during the flow process, achieving gas focusing and enabling the feed falling into the discharge end 101 to be blown out more quickly.

[0031] A first arc position 104 is formed at the junction of the feed end 101 and the air inlet end 102, and a second arc position 105 is formed at the junction of the feed end 101 and the discharge end 103. The flow channel 3 is located between the second arc position 105 and the outer wall 204 of the cone. The arc position design makes the flow path of feed from the feed end 101 through the flow channel 3 into the discharge end 103 smoother and more natural.

[0032] The three-way pipe body 1 is symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the feed end 101. The symmetrical structure of the central axis means that the air inlet end 102 and the discharge end 103 do not need to be limited during the initial production. The air guide pipe 2 can be directly installed.

[0033] A first step 106 is formed between the first arc position 104 and the feed end 101. The first step 106 allows other pipes to be inserted into the feed end 101 to facilitate feed transportation. A second step 107 is formed between the first arc position 104 and the air inlet 102. The edge of the air outlet 202 expands outward to form a limiting installation edge 203. The limiting installation edge 203 works in conjunction with the second step 107. When the air guide pipe 2 is installed inside the three-way pipe body 1, the limiting installation edge 203 is limited to the second step 107, which not only achieves the effect of limiting installation but also prevents gas from flowing out between the limiting installation edge 203 and the second step 107.

[0034] The side of the limiting mounting edge 203 facing the outer wall 204 of the conical surface is flat. The outer diameter of the limiting mounting edge 203 matches the inner diameter of the feed end 101, which facilitates the fitting and installation of the limiting mounting edge 203 with the second step position 107 and ensures the tightness between the limiting mounting edge 203 and the second step position 107.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
