[0029] Specifically, the sonar detector 32 is a common sonar detector, which can detect the number and size of crawfish in the water below the feeding device, so that the feeding device can quantitatively feed according to the actual size and number of crawfish, thereby effectively avoiding the breeding problems caused by uneven feeding of feed.

[0030] The shape of the limiting piece 26 is shown in Figure 4 , and the whole is arranged in an inclined arc shape, the rotation of the plurality of stirring scrapers 20 forms stirring of the feed in the stirring cylinder 13, and when the stirring scraper 20 rotates clockwise, the stirring scraper 20 and the rotating plate 21 form a downward pressing action on the limiting piece 26 while stirring the feed, thereby enabling the limiting piece 26 to drive the second discharge baffle 25 to open the discharge hole 24, so that the feed can flow out of the discharge hole 24 to the outside of the stirring cylinder 13 and fall into the water, forming feeding of the crawfish.

[0031] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the feed storage assembly comprises a storage tank 14 arranged above the mixing barrel 13, the inside of the storage tank 14 is provided with a plurality of distribution bins 15, the upper end of each distribution bin 15 is provided with a sealing cover 29 above the storage tank 14, the inside of each distribution bin 15 is rotatably provided with a stirring rod 16, one end of each stirring rod 16 is provided with a second motor 30 on the outer side wall of the storage tank 14, the output end of each second motor 30 is fixedly connected with one end of the stirring rod 16 adjacent thereto through the side wall of the storage tank 14, the lower side of each stirring rod 16 is rotatably provided with a first discharge baffle 17 in the inside of the distribution bin 15, one end of each first discharge baffle 17 is provided with a third motor 31 on the outer side wall of the storage tank 14, the output end of each third motor 31 is fixedly connected with one side wall of the first discharge baffle 17 adjacent thereto through the side wall of the storage tank 14, and the second motor 30 and the third motor 31 are ordinary motors which are prior art.

[0032] Specifically, the plurality of distribution bins 15 can store different types of feed raw materials, effectively preventing rapid deterioration of mixed feed with different moisture contents.

[0033] The second motor 30 drives the stirring rod 16 to rotate, forming stirring of the feed inside the distribution bin 15, effectively preventing the feed inside the distribution bin 15 from caking.

[0034] The output end of the third motor 31 drives the first discharge baffle 17 to rotate, so that the feed inside the distribution bin 15 flows into the inside of the mixing barrel 13. The amount of different feed flowing into the inside of the mixing barrel 13 can be controlled by controlling the angle of rotation of the first discharge baffle 17 and the residence time after rotation, thereby controlling the ratio of feed and the total amount of feed that needs to be stirred and fed.

[0035] The plurality of sealing covers 29 can effectively prevent the feed raw materials stored in the distribution bin 15 from being humidified and deteriorated.

[0036] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The upper end surface of each first discharge baffle 17 is provided with a feed monitor 18.

[0037] Specifically, the feed monitor 18 can monitor the amount of feed inside the distribution bin 15, thereby reminding the feeders to add feed raw materials, improving the practicability of the device.

[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 The lower end surface of the mixing barrel 13 is provided with a support plate 12, a plurality of second discharge baffles 25 are hingedly connected with one side wall of the support plate 12, and an elastic support rod 33 is rotatably connected between each second discharge baffle 25 and the bottom plate 10.

[0040] Further, as shown in Figure 3 the upper end surface of the bottom plate 10 between the bottom plate 10 and the support plate 12 is provided with a first motor 19, the output end of the first motor 19 through the support plate 12 and the mixing barrel 13 extends into the inside of the mixing barrel 13, a plurality of stirring blades 20 is fixedly connected with the output end of the first motor 19, one side of the first motor 19 is provided with a storage battery 27 between the bottom plate 10 and the support plate 12, the outer side of the first motor 19 and the storage battery 27 is provided with a plurality of waterproof guard plates 35 between the bottom plate 10 and the support plate 12.

[0041] Specifically, the first motor 19 is a common motor, which is prior art, the first motor 19 provides power for the rotation of the plurality of stirring blades 20, and the storage battery 27 is a common power supply, which provides power for the operation of the entire device.

[0042] The plurality of waterproof guard plates 35 are arranged to form a seal between the bottom plate 10 and the support plate 12, effectively preventing the first motor 19 and the storage battery 27 arranged between the bottom plate 10 and the support plate 12 from being wetted by external water, thereby avoiding short circuit damage.

[0043] Further, as shown in Figure 4 each two adjacent stirring blades 20 and rotating plates 21 are connected with a hinge 22, and an elastic plate 23 is further connected between the stirring blades 20 and the rotating plates 21 above the hinge 22.

[0044] Specifically, the hinge 22 is arranged to enable the stirring blades 20 to rotate clockwise, and the rotating plates 21 to rotate along the hinge 22 under the blocking action of the limit piece 26, and the rotating plates 21 to press down the limit piece 26 under the stretching and fixing action of the hinge 22 when the stirring blades 20 rotate counterclockwise.

[0045] The elastic plate 23 is a common elastic sheet, and the arrangement of the elastic plate 23 can help the rotating plate 21 to be quickly clamped in the inside of the stirring blade 20, forming a complete stirring plate with the stirring blade 20, thereby enabling the stirring of the feed in the inside of the mixing barrel 13 when the limit piece 26 is not blocked.

[0046] When the crayfish need to be fed, firstly, the corresponding drive propellers 28 are activated. Multiple drive propellers 28 work together to move the entire device over the crayfish farming area. Multiple sonar detectors 32 detect the number and size of crayfish in the nearby waters. Then, the second motor 30 and the third motor 31 are activated to pre-stir the feed in the different feed bins 15 to prevent feed ingredients from clumping. Then, according to the actual amount of feed needed and the feed ratio itself, the rotation angle and time of multiple first discharge baffles 17 are controlled so that the required feed flows into the mixing drum 13.

[0047] Then, the first motor 19 is started. The output end of the first motor 19 drives multiple stirring scrapers 20 and rotating plates 21 to rotate clockwise, forming a stirring of the feed inside the mixing drum 13. Then, the rotation direction of the output end of the first motor 19 is changed, causing the stirring scrapers 20 and rotating plates 21 to rotate counterclockwise. During the rotation, the rotating plates 21 press down on the limiting member 26. The limiting member 26 drives the second discharge baffle 25 to open the discharge hole 24, allowing the feed inside the mixing drum 13 to flow out of the mixing drum 13, thus feeding the feed.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] Based on Example 1, further examples are made, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a vibrator 34 is provided on the lower end face of each second discharge baffle 25.

[0050] Specifically, the vibrator 34 is a common waterproof vibrator, which is existing technology. The vibrator 34 can drive the second discharge baffle 25 to vibrate through its own vibration, so that when the second discharge baffle 25 opens the discharge hole 24 to discharge the feed, the feed stuck to the upper surface of the second discharge baffle 25 can fall into the water more quickly, effectively preventing the feed from sticking to the end of the second discharge baffle 25.
