[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an aquaculture feeding device, including a buoyancy ring 1, a feeding box 2, a baffle plate 3, and a driving unit. The feeding box 2 is fixedly connected to the buoyancy ring 1 and is located directly above the buoyancy ring 1. The upper end of the feeding box 2 is open, and the bottom of the feeding box 2 has a discharge port 22. The baffle plate 3 is horizontally slidably connected to the feeding box 2. The driving unit is used to drive the baffle plate 3 to slide on the feeding box 2, so that the baffle plate 3 opens or closes the discharge port 22. The buoyancy ring 1 can be made of foam plastic.

[0030] Before using the aquaculture feeding device of this utility model, the buoyancy ring 1 is located in the water and can float in the water. The feeding box 2 is supported on the buoyancy ring 1, and the discharge port 22 is closed by the baffle plate 3.

[0031] When the fish keepers need to feed the fish, fish food is poured into the feeding box 2 through the opening at the top. Then, the drive unit drives the baffle 3 to slide on the feeding box 2, opening the discharge port 22 so that the fish food leaks out and falls into the water. When a certain amount of fish food has been added, the drive unit drives the baffle 3 to slide in the opposite direction on the feeding box 2, closing the discharge port 22. This completes the feeding of the fish.

[0032] When feeding fish using the aquaculture feeding device of this utility model, the drive unit can drive the baffle plate 3 to slide on the feeding box 2, so that the baffle plate 3 opens or closes the discharge port 22. After feeding the fish, the baffle plate 3 can completely close the discharge port 22, so that water vapor is not easy to enter the feeding box 2 through the discharge port 22, which can reduce the possibility of the fish food in the feeding box 2 becoming damp and deteriorating.

[0033] In this embodiment: the drive unit includes a rotating shaft 32, a spur gear 322, a rack 332, a driven bevel gear 321, a motor 31, and a driving bevel gear 311. One end of the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the feeding box 2. The spur gear 322 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 32. The rack 332 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 3 and meshes with the spur gear 322. The driven bevel gear 321 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 32. The motor 31 is fixedly connected to the feeding box 2. The driving bevel gear 311 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 31 and meshes with the driven bevel gear 321. The motor 31 can be a motor of model XC37GB545.

[0034] When the fishkeeper needs to feed the fish, the motor 31 rotates forward, driving the drive bevel gear 311 to rotate. The drive bevel gear 311 then drives the driven bevel gear 321 to rotate. Since the driven bevel gear 321 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 32, its rotation causes the rotating shaft 32 to rotate on the feeding box 2. The rotating shaft 32 then drives the spur gear 322 to rotate. Because the rack 332 meshes with the spur gear 322, when the rotating shaft 32 drives the spur gear 322 to rotate, the spur gear 322 causes the rack 332 to slide horizontally in one direction on the feeding box 2. The rack 332 also causes the baffle plate 3 to slide horizontally in one direction on the feeding box 2 until the discharge port 22 is fully exposed, at which point the motor 31 stops rotating. At this point, the drive unit can open the discharge port 22.

[0035] Once a certain amount of fish food has been added, the motor 31 reverses direction, driving the active bevel gear 311 to rotate in the opposite direction. The active bevel gear 311 then drives the driven bevel gear 321 to rotate. The driven bevel gear 321's rotation causes the rotating shaft 32 to rotate on the feeding box 2, which in turn drives the spur gear 322 to rotate. The spur gear 322 drives the rack 332 to slide horizontally in the opposite direction on the feeding box 2. The rack 332 also drives the baffle plate 3 to slide horizontally in the opposite direction until the discharge port 22 is completely blocked by the baffle plate 3. Then, the motor 31 stops rotating. At this point, the drive unit closes the discharge port 22.

[0036] With this structure, the drive unit can drive the baffle plate 3 to slide on the feeding box 2, so that the baffle plate 3 opens or closes the discharge port 22.

[0037] In this embodiment, a circular groove is formed by recessing the outer surface of the feeding box 2 at the position corresponding to the rotating shaft 32, and one end of the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably fitted into the circular groove. With this structure, one end of the rotating shaft 32 can be rotatably connected to the feeding box 2.

[0038] In this embodiment: the groove wall of the circular groove is recessed to form an annular limiting groove, and the outer circumference of one end of the rotating shaft 32 protrudes outward to form a limiting ring 323. The limiting ring 323 is located in the limiting groove, and the limiting ring 323 cooperates with the limiting groove.

[0039] When the rotating shaft 32 rotates on the feeding box 2, the rotating shaft 32 drives the limiting ring 323 to rotate within the limiting groove. This structure reduces the possibility that the rotating shaft 32 may come out of the circular groove during rotation.

[0040] In this embodiment: The feeding box 2 has recessed grooves 23 on both opposite sides, the grooves 23 being horizontally oriented. Sliding blocks 331 are slidably fitted within each groove 23, and both sliding blocks 331 are fixedly connected to the shielding plate 3. Specifically, two connecting rods 33 are fixedly mounted on the shielding plate 3, with the upper ends of the two connecting rods 33 fixedly connected to the sliding blocks 331 and the lower ends connected to the shielding plate 3. With this structure, the shielding plate 3 can be horizontally slidably connected to the feeding box 2.

[0041] The two ends of the rack 332 are respectively fixed to the connecting rod 33.

[0042] In this embodiment: the feeding box 2 is detachably connected to a lid 21, which covers the opening.

[0043] Before using the aquaculture feeding device described in this utility model, the breeder removes the lid 21 from the box body, allowing fish food to be placed into the feeding box 2. Then, the lid 21 is closed to seal the opening. This prevents moisture from easily entering the feeding box 2 through the opening at the top, further reducing the possibility of the fish food in the feeding box 2 becoming damp and spoiling.

[0044] In this embodiment, the lower side of the box cover 21 protrudes downward to form a protrusion 211, and the protrusion 211 is inserted into the opening.

[0045] The feeder moves the lid 21 downwards, inserting the protrusion 211 into the opening, thus connecting the lid 21 to the box body. When disassembly is needed, the feeder moves the lid 21 upwards, pulling the protrusion 211 out of the opening. The lid 21 can then be removed from the feeding box 2. With this structure, the lid 21 can be detachably connected to the box body.

[0046] In this embodiment: the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the feeding box 2 gradually slopes downward from the edge to the middle, and the discharge port 22 is located in the middle of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the feeding box 2.

[0047] Because the bottom wall of the inner cavity of feeding box 2 gradually slopes downward from the edge to the middle, the fish food is less likely to accumulate on the bottom wall of the inner cavity of feeding box 2, and it is easier to empty the fish food in the box.

[0048] In this embodiment: the aquaculture feeding device of the present invention also includes a fixing part and a pull rope 5. The fixing part is used to fix it on the water bank. One end of the pull rope 5 is fixedly connected to the buoyancy ring 1 and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing part.

[0049] When using the aquaculture feeding device described in this utility model, the fixing part is fixed to the water's edge, and the pull rope can hold the feeding box 2 to the fixing part, which can limit the distance between the buoyancy ring and the feeding box 2 and the water's edge, so that the buoyancy ring and the feeding box 2 will not drift to a position too far from the water's edge.

[0050] In this embodiment: the fixing part includes a fixing seat and a fixing rod 43. The fixing seat is used to fix it on the water's edge, and the other end of the pull rope is tied and fixed to the fixing rod 43.

[0051] The fixing part can be fixed to the waterfront by the fixing seat, and the other end of the pull rope 5 can be fixedly connected to the fixing part by binding it to the fixing rod 43.

[0052] In this embodiment: the fixing base includes a base plate 4, multiple ground nails 41 and a vertical plate 42. The base plate 4 is provided with multiple through holes. The ground nails 41 are slidably fitted in the through holes. The vertical plate 42 is fixedly connected to the base plate 4. The fixing rod is fixed to the upper end of the vertical plate 42.

[0053] Before using the aquaculture feeding device described in this utility model, the breeder inserts multiple ground nails 41 through the multiple through holes and into the ground, thus fixing the base plate 4 and the vertical plate 42 to the water's edge. With this structure, the fixing base can be fixed to the water's edge.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
