[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The feeding machine for aquaculture in this embodiment includes a mounting base 1, a box 2 and a material collection frame 3. The box 2 is equipped with a stirring and metering component, and the mounting base 1 is equipped with an auxiliary moving component.
[0025] Example 1: The mixing and metering component includes a partition plate 4 fixedly installed inside the box 2, a feed pipe 5 fixedly installed at the bottom of the partition plate 4, a solenoid valve fixedly installed on the outside of the feed pipe 5 to control the feed discharge time, and a first motor 6 fixedly installed at the top of the box 2.
[0026] A feed pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the box 2 to facilitate the addition of bait into the box 2. A protective box is fixedly installed on the top of the box 2, and the first motor 6 is located inside the protective box. The bottom of the box 2 and the inside of the mounting base 1 are provided with feeding holes to facilitate the discharge of bait into the box 2 for feeding.
[0027] The output end of the first motor 6 is fixedly installed with a stirring component 7. A through hole is provided on the top of the box 2. The output end of the first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the stirring component 7 through the through hole. When the first motor 6 is started, the stirring component 7 rotates to stir the bait and prevent the bait from clumping.
[0028] The interior of the housing 2 is equipped with a rotating device 8, which consists of a servo motor, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. The servo motor is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the housing 2, and the first connecting rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor. The other end of the first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the material collection frame 3. The second connecting rod is rotatably installed on one side of the inner wall of the housing 2, and the other end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the material collection frame 3. When the servo motor is started, the material collection frame 3 is stably rotated through the first and second connecting rods to facilitate the throwing of bait.
[0029] A weight sensor 9 is fixedly installed inside the material collection frame 3. An installation groove is provided on the top of the inner wall of the material collection frame 3. The weight sensor 9 is fixedly connected to the material collection frame 3 through the installation groove. An annular inclined plate 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 2.
[0030] It should be noted that this aquaculture feeder is equipped with a mixing and metering component, which facilitates the mixing of feed in the tank 2, preventing the feed from clumping. At the same time, it can quantitatively feed the feed, reasonably control the amount of feed each time, and thus improve the quality of aquaculture.
[0031] Specifically, in this aquaculture feeder, the first motor 6 is started, which drives the agitator 7 to rotate, reducing the clumping of feed inside the tank 2. When feeding, the solenoid valve of the feed pipe 5 is activated, and the feed falls into the collection frame 3 through the feed pipe 5. The feed is weighed by the weight sensor 9. After the feed reaches the set amount, the solenoid valve of the feed pipe 5 is closed to stop feeding. Then, the servo motor is started, which drives the first connecting rod to rotate. The second connecting rod causes the collection frame 3 to flip, dropping out the set amount of feed, which is then fed through the annular inclined plate 10.
[0032] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 Based on Embodiment 1, an auxiliary moving component is also provided on the mounting base 1. The auxiliary moving component includes two connecting bases 11 that are fixedly installed inside the mounting base 1. Electric push rods 12 are fixedly installed on the top of each of the two connecting bases 11. Remote controllers are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the housing 2. The remote controllers are PLC coded controllers. The first motor 6, the rotating device 8, the weight sensor 9, and the electric push rods 12 are all connected to the remote controllers to control the start time of the first motor 6, the rotating device 8, and the electric push rods 12.
[0033] Guide plates 13 are fixedly installed at the output ends of both electric actuators 12. The mounting base 1 has a sliding groove inside, and the guide plate 13 is slidably connected to the mounting base 1 through the sliding groove, making the guide plate 13 move more conveniently.
[0034] Each of the two guide plates 13 has a baffle 14 fixedly installed on one side opposite to the other. The mounting base 1 has an extension hole inside, through which the baffle 14 extends to the outside of the mounting base 1. An airbag 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting base 1.
[0035] It should be noted that this aquaculture feeder is equipped with an auxiliary moving component, which facilitates the sealing of the feeding hole at the bottom of the tank 2, reducing the possibility of water flowing into the tank 2 through the feeding hole and affecting the quality of the feed, thereby improving the quality of the feed dispensed by the device.
[0036] Specifically, when feeding, the aquaculture feeder activates two electric actuators 12, which drive two guide plates 13 to move in opposite directions, causing the two baffles 14 to move synchronously. They are then stored inside the mounting base 1, allowing the feed to be discharged from the box 2 through the feeding hole for spreading, thus improving the efficiency of the device.
[0037] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0038] (1) The aquaculture feeder starts the first motor 6, which drives the agitator 7 to rotate, reducing the clumping of feed inside the box 2. When feeding, the solenoid valve of the feed pipe 5 is activated, and the feed falls into the collection frame 3 through the feed pipe 5. The feed is weighed by the weight sensor 9. After the feed reaches the quantitative amount, the solenoid valve of the feed pipe 5 is closed to stop feeding. Then the servo motor is started, which drives the first connecting rod to rotate. The second connecting rod causes the collection frame 3 to flip, dropping out the quantitative amount of feed, which is then fed through the annular inclined plate 10.
[0039] (2) When feeding, the aquaculture feeder starts two electric push rods 12, which drive two guide plates 13 to move in opposite directions, so that the two baffles 14 move synchronously and are then stored in the mounting base 1, so that the feed is discharged into the box 2 through the feeding hole and spread, thereby improving the effect of the device.
[0040] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
