Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silkworm breeding equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding machine for breeding trays. Background Technology
[0002] Silkworm farming, as the foundation of silk production, has a long history and is an important part of traditional agriculture. The traditional sericulture industry is highly dependent on manual labor, requiring a large workforce in every aspect, from feeding and cleaning to temperature and humidity control and pest and disease prevention. With socio-economic development and rising labor costs, there is an urgent need to reduce reliance on manual labor through technological means. To improve production efficiency, reduce costs, decrease labor dependence, and achieve environmentally friendly production, automated silkworm farming technology has emerged.
[0003] In automated silkworm rearing, the rearing trays need to be fed according to the silkworms' growth status, on a timely and appropriate basis. The feeding amounts are as follows: During the 4th instar, feed once on the 1st and 3rd days, with feed amounts of 0.24 kg and 0.3 kg respectively; during the 5th instar, feed once on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days, with feed amounts of 0.47 kg, 0.68 kg, and 0.68 kg respectively; supplementary feeding is required on the 7th day based on the silkworms' development.
[0004] Existing feeding machines cannot control the amount of feed added; and because artificial feed is in a single piece, has high viscosity and a certain degree of hardness, it cannot be directly put into the breeding tray, which not only consumes a lot of manpower but is also not conducive to silkworms eating it. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding machine for breeding trays, which can solve the problems of difficulty in controlling the amount of feed fed into the breeding trays by existing feeding machines, as well as the problems of excessive manpower consumption and poor feed quality for silkworms when using manual feed.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] This invention utilizes a mixing mechanism, a feeding mechanism, an extrusion assembly, and a cutting mechanism to perform secondary processing on artificial feed, shaping it into small pieces that are easy for silkworms to eat. The highly automated equipment also reduces manpower consumption. The operating time of the equipment is controlled by a control platform, or the rotation of the first motor 321 is controlled to increase or decrease the amount of feed extruded within a certain time period, thereby controlling the amount of feed added.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, a feeding machine for aquaculture trays includes a feed bin 1, within which a feeding hopper 11 is provided. The feed bin 1 contains, from top to bottom, a mixing mechanism, a feeding mechanism, an extrusion assembly, and a cutting mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes two rollers 31 rotatably mounted inside the feeding hopper 11 and a drive assembly 32 located outside the feeding hopper 11. A first gear 311 is located at the same end of both rollers 31, and the first gear 311 is located outside the feeding hopper 11. The drive assembly 32 includes a first motor 321, a driving wheel 322, a driven wheel 323, and a chain 324 located outside the feeding hopper 11. The driving wheel 322 is connected to the output end of the first motor 321. The driven wheel 323 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the feeding hopper 11. The chain 324 meshes with the driving wheel 322, the driven wheel 323, and the two first gears 311. The first motor 321 transmits kinetic energy from the driving wheel 322 to the driven wheel 323 and the two first gears 311. Specifically, the chain 324 is wound or pressed against the outside of the driving wheel 322, the driven wheel 323, and the two first gears 311. The rotation of the driving wheel 322 drives the chain 324 to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 323 and the two first gears 311 to rotate. The closed loop of the chain 324 separates the two first gears 311 inside and outside the chain 324. When the chain 324 rotates, it drives the two first gears 311 to rotate in opposite directions.
[0029] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the extrusion assembly is further disposed at the bottom of the feeding mechanism. The extrusion assembly includes an extrusion trough 51 and a connecting plate 52 supporting the extrusion trough 51. Both ends of the connecting plate 52 are connected to the bottom of the feeding bin 11.
[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the extrusion trough 51 is provided with a plurality of extrusion holes 511, the shape of which is not limited. The top of the two side walls of the extrusion trough 51 is provided with a plurality of slots 512. Furthermore, the outer wall of the roller 31 is provided with a plurality of annular ribs 312, the number of annular ribs 312 on each roller 31 being the same as the number of slots 512 on one side of the extrusion trough 51. The slots 512 on both sides of the extrusion trough 51 respectively engage with the annular ribs 312 on the two rollers 31. This corresponding engagement method serves two functions: first, it prevents the extrusion trough 51 from becoming misaligned or displaced during equipment operation; second, it prevents feed from leaking out from both sides of the extrusion trough 51 under pressure after entering it.
[0031] Furthermore, a discharge port 521 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 52. The discharge port 521 covers all the extrusion holes 511. This ensures that the feed coming out of all the extrusion holes 511 can fall through the discharge port 521 and be cut by the cutting mechanism.
[0032] like Figure 5 , combined Figure 2 As shown, the stirring mechanism further includes a second motor 23, two rotating rods 21, and a U-shaped rod 22 mounted on the two rotating rods 21. The two rotating rods 21 are rotatably mounted inside the feeding hopper 11. Each of the two rotating rods 21 has a meshing second gear 24 at the same end, allowing power transmission between them. The output end of the second motor 23 is connected to one end of each rotating rod 21, driving the two rotating rods 21 to rotate. The second motor 23 is located outside the feeding hopper 11.
[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the cutting mechanism further includes two cylinders 41 installed at the bottom of the feeding hopper 11 and a cutting plate 42 connected to the piston ends of the two cylinders 41. The top of the cutting plate 42 can be extended into a horizontal plate, which can form a relatively regular cross-section when cutting feed.
[0034] Furthermore, the top of the cutting plate 42 and the bottom of the extrusion assembly are on the same horizontal plane. The cutting plate 42 has a better cutting effect on strip-shaped feed when it is close to the extrusion hole 511 in the extrusion assembly.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] Workers feed the artificial feed into the feeding hopper 11, then activate the mixing mechanism, feeding mechanism, extrusion assembly, and cutting mechanism. The second motor 23 drives the U-shaped rod 22 to rotate and mix the artificial feed, breaking it down and extruding it through two rollers 31, which then transfer it downwards to the extrusion assembly. Specifically, the first motor 321 drives the two rollers 31 to rotate in opposite directions. The crushed artificial feed is continuously transferred to the extrusion trough 51, where the bottom feed is squeezed by the upper feed and extruded from the extrusion hole 511, forming strips of feed. At this time, two cylinders 41 push the cutting plate 42 to continuously cut the strips of feed into granules, making them easier for silkworms to consume.
[0037] There are generally two ways to control the amount of material added:
[0038] First, the amount of material fed can be controlled by controlling the equipment's operating time through a control platform.
[0039] Secondly, by controlling the rotation of the first motor 321 through the control platform, the amount of feed extruded within a certain period of time can be increased or decreased, thereby controlling the discharge speed.
