Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture, and in particular to a lobster feeder with a suction function. Background Technology

[0002] Lobster farming is an important branch of aquaculture globally, particularly in parts of Asia, North America, and Europe, where lobsters are highly favored by consumers for their delicious meat. With increasing market demand, the lobster farming industry is continuously expanding to meet growing consumer needs. Lobster growth and development are closely related to their feed supply; therefore, efficient feeding techniques are crucial for improving farming efficiency and lobster quality. Traditional lobster feeding methods rely heavily on manual labor, which is not only labor-intensive but also prone to uneven feeding, leading to feed waste and uneven lobster growth. Furthermore, manual feeding is affected by weather and seasonal changes, limiting its flexibility and accuracy. Against this backdrop, the application of lobster feeders is particularly important. Feeders enable automated and precise feeding, reducing labor costs, improving feed utilization efficiency, and ensuring lobsters receive balanced nutrition, thereby increasing farming success rates and economic benefits. The integration of intelligent feeding systems, such as environmental monitoring and automatic feed adjustment, further enhances the intelligence level of feeding management.

[0003] However, existing lobster feeders often encounter the following problems in use: Traditional lobster feeders have many inconveniences in actual use, one of the most prominent being the need to frequently return to the shore to refill. In typical lobster farming scenarios, the feed bin capacity of traditional feeders is often limited. When the feed in the bin is almost depleted, the feeder must be returned to the shore. This process not only consumes a significant amount of time but is also susceptible to various external factors such as weather conditions and water conditions. This, to some extent, affects the overall efficiency and economic benefits of lobster farming. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a lobster feeder with a suction function, so as to effectively solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing traditional lobster feeders need to frequently return to the shore to add feed during actual use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A lobster feeder with a suction function includes:

[0007] The feed feeder body is mounted on the ground;

[0008] A feed hopper is located on top of the feed feeder body;

[0009] A machine cover, which is hinged to one side of the feed hopper;

[0010] The discharge port is located on one side of the feed feeder body;

[0011] A suction pump is installed on the other side of the feed feeder body;

[0012] A conveying pipe, one end of which is connected to the suction pump, and the other end of which is connected to the feed hopper;

[0013] A suction pipe, one end of which is connected to the suction pump;

[0014] Installation section, which is sleeved onto one end of the suction pipe;

[0015] A suction port is located at the end of the suction tube;

[0016] A drive motor is disposed at the top of the mounting section;

[0017] A screw, which is mounted at the output end of the drive motor;

[0018] A fixing member is fixedly disposed at the end of the screw;

[0019] An inner support connector, wherein at least three inner support connectors are distributed on the fixing member;

[0020] An inner support rod, one end of which is movably connected to the inner support connector;

[0021] An inner support grabber is movably connected to the other end of the inner support rod.

[0022] Also includes:

[0023] A three-jaw displacement component is sleeved onto the shaft of the screw.

[0024] A force-applying rod, one end of which is connected to the three-jaw displacement member, and the other end of which is connected to the inner support claw;

[0025] Suction cup pad, which is disposed on the support leg of the feed feeder body.

[0026] The fastener is fixedly installed on the installation section.

[0027] The number of internal support rods corresponds to the number of internal support connectors.

[0028] The number of internal support catches corresponds to the number of internal support rods.

[0029] The number of force-applying rods corresponds to the number of internal support catches.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The suction mechanism of this invention, by directly connecting a suction device to the feeder, can directly draw feed from the feed bag to replenish the feed hopper, solving the problem of needing to frequently return to the shore for refueling and improving feeding efficiency. Furthermore, during the feed suction process, the unique design of the three-claw displacement component, force-applying rod, and internal support gripper automatically opens the feed bag, preventing it from easily collapsing or closing during suction. The entire process can be completed by a single person. Therefore, simply carrying several feed bags on the boat allows for direct refilling of the bags after the feeder runs out, making the process simple and quick. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a lobster feeder with a suction function includes: a feeder body 1, a feed hopper 2, a cover 3, a discharge port 4, a suction pump 5, a conveying pipe 6, a suction pipe 7, an installation section 8, and a suction port 9. The feeder body 1 is mounted on the ground, serving as the supporting structure for the entire system, and is responsible for fixing and supporting all components. The feed hopper 2 is located on top of the feeder body 1, and the cover 3 is hinged to one side of the feed hopper 2. The feed hopper 2 receives feed sucked in through the suction pipe 7 and stores it to a certain capacity, providing a continuous feed supply for subsequent feedings. The design of the feed hopper 2 helps prevent premature feed loss or blockage, ensuring feeding stability. The discharge port 4 is located on one side of the feeder body 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the suction pump 5 is installed on the other side of the feed feeder body 1. One end of the conveying pipe 6 is connected to the suction pump 5. The suction pump 5 sucks up the feed and conveys it to the feed hopper 2 through the conveying pipe 6. The strong suction of the pump ensures efficient material suction from the feed bag, preventing material blockage or loss. The conveying pipe 6 is responsible for conveying the material to the feed hopper 2. The other end of the conveying pipe 6 is connected to the feed hopper 2. One end of the suction pipe 7 is connected to the suction pump 5. The mounting section 8 is sleeved on one end of the suction pipe 7. The suction port 9 is located at the end of the suction pipe 7. The drive motor 10 is located on the top of the mounting section 8. The drive motor 10 provides power for the entire suction process and drives the three-jaw displacement component 16 to move through the screw 11. The rotation of the screw 11 can precisely control the sliding of the three-jaw displacement component 16, thereby driving the movement of the force application rod 17 and the inner support gripper 15. This design improves the degree of automation and ensures that the inner support gripper 15 can smoothly open the feed bag. No manual opening of the bag is required.

[0039] Preferably, the screw 11 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 10, the fixing member 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the screw 11, and the fixing member 12 is fixedly installed on the mounting section 8. At least three inner support connecting members 13 are distributed on the fixing member 12. One end of the inner support rod 14 is movably connected to the inner support connecting member 13, and the inner support grab 15 is movably connected to the other end of the inner support rod 14. The number of inner support grabs 15 corresponds to the number of inner support rods 14. The three-jaw displacement member 16 is sleeved on the body of the screw 11. The three-jaw displacement member 16 is an important component that cooperates with the screw 11. Through sliding cooperation with the screw 11, it gradually moves towards the fixing member 12, driving the movement of the force application rod 17. Its design allows the inner support grab 15 to expand at the correct time, thereby ensuring that the feed bag opening opens for easy feeding. One end of the force-applying rod 17 is connected to the three-jaw displacement component 16, and the other end is connected to the inner support grabber 15. The number of force-applying rods 17 corresponds to the number of inner support grabbers 15. The suction cup pad 18 is mounted on the support leg of the feed feeder body 1. The suction cup pad 18, mounted on the support leg of the feed feeder body 1, is typically used to provide additional stability or adhesion to the ground. In particular, the suction force is stronger when the suction cup is damp, which can increase the tightness between the equipment and the ship's deck.

[0040] It should be noted that the lobster feeder with suction function designed in this utility model is used as follows: The feed bag is opened, and the suction port 9 of the suction pipe 7 is placed into the bag. Then, the drive motor 10 is started, and its output rotates, driving the screw 11. The screw 11 rotates, causing the three-jaw displacement member 16 to slide on it. As the three-jaw displacement member 16 gradually approaches the fixing member 12, it drives the force rod 17, which gradually straightens, pushing the inner support grab 15 outward until it supports the inner wall of the feed bag, ensuring the bag remains open. Finally, the suction pump 5 is started, and the suction pipe 7 sucks up the material from the bag. The material enters the conveying pipe 6 through the suction pipe 7 and then reaches the feeding hopper 2, completing the suction process. When using the feeder body 1, once the feed in the feeding hopper 2 is empty, the feed bag can be opened directly for refilling without returning to the shore to add more feed.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
