Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a drifting feeding device for goldfish breeding ponds. Background Technology

[0002] With the progress of the times and the continuous development of technology, goldfish, as a common ornamental fish in China, are raised in various landscapes and ponds. Larger and brightly colored goldfish are more popular. However, high-quality goldfish need to be cultivated and selected first. The most important issue in the cultivation process is feeding. In order to save manpower in feeding, automated feeding is often adopted. Therefore, it is particularly important to propose a floating feeding device for goldfish breeding ponds.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application CN207639465U discloses a drifting feeding device for goldfish ponds, including a storage tank and a circular floating plate. The storage tank has a circular cover plate at its upper end. Arc-shaped connectors are fixedly connected to all four ends of the upper surface of the circular floating plate. Each arc-shaped connector is fitted with a second pull ring. A limiting rope connects the corresponding first and second pull rings. A drive motor is mounted at the lower end of the circular mounting plate, and a motor mounting plate is fixed to the upper end of the drive motor. The motor mounting plate and the circular mounting plate are fixed together by four second fixing bolts. A propeller is connected to the lower end of the drive motor's output shaft. This drifting feeding device for goldfish ponds ensures very even feeding through drifting feeding. Furthermore, the device requires no manual operation, saving significant time and labor. It is low-cost, highly practical, and easy to promote.

[0004] When using the drifting feeding device in this goldfish breeding pond, the drifting feeding method ensures even feeding and eliminates the need for manual operation. However, in actual use, the following defects still exist: when feeding, fish crowd together to compete for food, which can cause waves and impacts. Also, after feeding, the overall weight decreases, making the feeder prone to tipping over when being pulled back, indicating instability. Furthermore, fish food at the edges of the feeder tends to get stuck and is difficult to fall off, resulting in poor feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] Example 1,

[0028] A floating feeding device for goldfish breeding ponds includes: a feeding cylinder 1, a feed pipe 3 threaded to the bottom of the feeding cylinder 1, a feeding structure 5 threaded to the bottom of a floating structure 4, and a weighted ball 6 fixed at the middle position of the bottom of the feeding structure 5. The floating structure 4 is disposed between the feed pipe 3 and the feeding structure 5, and the floating structure 4 is used to keep the feeding cylinder 1, the feed pipe 3, and the feeding structure 5 floating on the water surface.

[0029] The floating structure 4 includes a limiting rod 401 fixed to the top of the feeding structure 5, a foam float 402 set at the top of the feeding structure 5, a fixing groove 403 opened at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 1, and a floating chute 404 opened on the outer wall of the feeding pipe 3.

[0030] In addition, the limiting rod 401 and the foam float 402 are slidably connected, and the limiting rod 401 and the fixing groove 403 are engaged. A circular groove is provided at the middle position of the foam float 402, and a slider is fixed on the inner side wall of the circular groove. The discharge pipe 3 and the foam float 402 are slidably connected.

[0031] When feeding the fish in the rearing pond, first fill the food storage container 1 with feed, and then put the entire device into the water. At this time, due to the increased weight of the feed inside the food storage container 1, the foam float 402 on the outside of the feed pipe 3 slides to the top. After the feed is almost empty, the foam float 402 gradually slides down from the top to the bottom of the outside of the feed pipe 3. The limiting rod 401 plays a limiting role between the food storage container 1 and the feed pipe 3 to prevent the foam float 402 from tilting when sliding up and down. The bottom of the feeding tank 501 is equipped with a weight-bearing ball 6 to ensure that the overall center of gravity is at the bottom, making the feeder more stable and less likely to tip over due to the impact of fish competing for food.

[0032] According to the above embodiments, Embodiment Two

[0033] It should be noted that the feeding structure 5 includes a feeding tank 501 threaded to the bottom of the feeding pipe 3, a feeding port 502 opened at the bottom of the feeding tank 501, and a feeding switch 503 installed at the bottom of the feeding port 502. The drive structure 7 is set inside the feeding cylinder 1 and is used to stir the feed inside the feeding cylinder 1 and the feeding structure 5.

[0034] The drive structure 7 includes a servo motor 701 mounted on the top of the food storage cylinder 1, a drive shaft 702 fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor 701, a stirring rod 703 mounted on the outer wall of the servo motor 701, a wall scraping assembly 704 disposed inside the food storage cylinder 1, and a stirring assembly 705 disposed inside the food dropping structure 5.

[0035] In addition, the wall scraping assembly 704 is disposed on the outer side wall of the drive shaft 702, the drive shaft 702 and the stirring assembly 705 are threadedly connected, and a scraper is provided at one end of the wall scraping assembly 704.

[0036] During feeding, the amount of food inside the food storage cylinder 1 will gradually decrease, but there is also the possibility that the food may accidentally get stuck at the outlet of the feed pipe 3 and cannot fall down. At this time, the servo motor 701 will start once every once according to the instruction, so that the drive shaft 702 can carry the stirring rod 703, the wall scraping component 704 and the stirring component 705 to stir inside the food storage cylinder 1, the feed pipe 3 and the feed dispensing structure 5, so that the blocked food is stirred and falls down, so that the fish food inside will not be stuck in one place for a long time, which facilitates the smooth feeding. In addition, the feed dispensing switch 503 at the bottom of the feeding tank 501 can rotate inside the feed dispensing port 502 to ensure that the feed will not be blocked in the feed dispensing port 502 when feeding.

[0037] According to the above embodiments, in Embodiment 3,

[0038] It should be noted that the top of the food storage container 1 is provided with a protective structure 2. The protective structure 2 includes a waterproof cover 201 set at the top of the food storage container 1, a first connecting ring 202 fixed to the top of the outer wall of the food storage container 1, a second connecting ring 203 fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the waterproof cover 201, and a buckle 204 set between the first connecting ring 202 and the second connecting ring 203.

[0039] When it rains, the two ends of the buckle 204 are fastened to the first connecting ring 202 and the second connecting ring 203 at the connection between the waterproof cover 201 and the food container 1, respectively. The waterproof cover 201 is then installed on the top of the food container 1 to prevent rainwater from directly corroding the servo motor 701. Furthermore, because the waterproof cover 201 has a conical design, the top of the waterproof cover 201 is not convenient for birds to perch on, reducing the inconvenience caused by birds to the feeding work.

[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 process, method, article, or apparatus.

[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 can 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.
