Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture equipment, and in particular to a novel automatic feeder for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture is an important branch of agriculture. It is a production activity involving the breeding, cultivation, and harvesting of aquatic plants and animals such as fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, and algae under human control. There are various farming methods, including traditional pond farming in land-based ponds, farming in large areas of natural lakes, intensive cage farming using net cages placed in water bodies, and even rice paddy farming that integrates aquaculture with rice cultivation. However, with the increase in farming area, how to feed the fish scientifically and quickly has become a major problem. As a result, automatic feeding machines for aquaculture have emerged.

[0003] Automatic feeders for aquaculture are a great help to aquaculture farmers. When in operation, the feed in the hopper is evenly distributed in the aquaculture water area by the spreading device according to the feeding time, feeding amount and feeding frequency set by the farmer in advance, ensuring that every fish and shrimp can get enough food, avoiding uneven growth caused by fish and shrimp competing for food, greatly saving labor costs and improving feeding accuracy.

[0004] Although automatic feeders for aquaculture can help aquaculture farmers feed fish and shrimp, uneven feed delivery can still occur during the feeding process, leading to uneven feeding and affecting the growth of aquatic animals and the efficiency of aquaculture. The existing solution is to use a combination of screw feeding and vibratory feeding, and to design special feeding blades and rollers to make the feed delivery more even. However, the combination of screw feeding and vibratory feeding increases the cost of the equipment, and uneven feeding still occurs after long-term use, requiring further adjustment and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel automatic feeder for aquaculture, comprising a feeder housing 1 and a hopper 2. A delivery pipe 15 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the hopper 2, serving as a component to transport feed from the hopper 2 to the lower part. Multiple blowers 4 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the feeder housing 1, blowing away loose feed. Each blower 4 has an outlet connected to an impact pipe 5, which transmits the airflow from the blowers 4. The other end of each impact pipe 5 is connected to the rear side of the delivery pipe 15. Multiple conveying pipes 6 are connected to the front side of the delivery pipe 15. The feed pipe 6 is used to convey the feed blown by the blower 4. A discharge hopper 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner bottom wall of the feeder housing 1. The discharge hopper 7 serves as a component of the collection shell 8. The other ends of multiple feed pipes 6 are connected to the rear side of the discharge hopper 7. Multiple collection shells 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge hopper 7. The collection shells 8 ensure that the feed has a place to be placed before being scattered, preventing the feed from scattering everywhere. A drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the feeder housing 1. The drive motor 9 provides power for the transmission of gear 11 and gear 13. The output end of the drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to the scattering plate 10. Sprinkler plate 10 serves as a component for scattering feed over a distance. Gear 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of sprinkler plate 10. A fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner bottom wall of the feeder housing 1. The fixing plate 14 is used to fix gear 13 and sprinkler plate 12. Sprinkler plate 12 is rotatably connected to the right side of the fixing plate 14. Sprinkler plate 12 serves as a component for supplementing feed scattering. Gear 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of sprinkler plate 12. Gear 11 and gear 13 mesh with each other and are used to transmit power. A cleaning mechanism 3 is provided on the inner wall of the hopper 2. 3 is used to clean the stains on the inner wall of the hopper 2. The top of the hopper 2 is rotatably connected to a sealing cover 21. The sealing cover 21 is used to prevent the feed in the hopper 2 from being contaminated, and to prevent the feed from spilling when the feeder box 1 is accidentally overturned. The top right side of the sealing cover 21 is fixedly connected to a handle 22, which makes it easy for the sealing cover 21 to be opened by the staff. The bottom of the inner wall of the delivery pipe 15 is threaded with a stop valve 16. The stop valve 16 allows the delivery pipe 15 to be quickly cleaned when it is blocked. The outside of the stop valve 16 is fixedly connected to a sealing ring 17, which is used to prevent the delivery pipe 15 from leaking.

[0034] Specifically, by controlling the blower 4 to open, when the feed falls from the delivery pipe 15, it can be blown into the corresponding conveying pipe 6 and conveyed into the corresponding collection shell 8 under the action of the blower 4. At the same time, the drive motor 9 is turned on, so that the drive motor 9 drives the first sprinkling plate 10 and the first gear 11, so that the feed in the top collection shell 8 is sprinkled to the outside under the action of the first sprinkling plate 10. At the same time, the second gear 13 rotates in the opposite direction under the drive of the first gear 11, and the rotation speed is slower than that of the first gear 11, so that the second sprinkling plate 12 also starts to rotate, so that the feed in the middle collection shell 8 is sprinkled out under the action of the second sprinkling plate 12, thus supplementing the sprinkling. The feed in the bottom collection shell 8 is directly sprinkled out under the blowing of the bottom blower 4 to feed the nearby aquatic animals.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a water pump 301, which is used to draw clean water to clean the hopper 2. The top of the water pump 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the feeder housing 1. The outlet of the water pump 301 is connected to a water supply pipe 302, and the other end of the water supply pipe 302 is connected to the outside of the hopper 2. The water supply pipe 302 is used to transport clean water. A reinforcing frame 304 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the hopper 2. The servo motor 303 is fixed inside the hopper 2 by the reinforcing frame 304. The servo motor 303 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the reinforcing frame 304. 03. The servo motor 303 serves as the power source for the mixing rack 305. Multiple mixing racks 305 are fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 303. The multiple mixing racks 305 make it easier to transport the feed stored in the hopper 2. The bottom of the middle mixing rack 305 is fixedly connected to the spiral pusher 306. The spiral pusher 306 makes it easier for the feed to enter the delivery pipe 15. The outside of the spiral pusher 306 is fixedly connected to the brush 307. The brush 307 cleans the gap between the spiral pusher 306 and the delivery pipe 15.

[0036] Specifically, when the feed is too dry or the hopper 2 needs to be cleaned, the water pump 301 is turned on to draw clean water from the outside and flow into the hopper 2 through the water pipe 302. At the same time, the servo motor 303 is turned on to make the mixing frame 305 mix the inside of the hopper 2. The spiral pusher 306 and the brush 307 start to rotate synchronously. The brush 307 starts to clean the gap between the spiral pusher 306 and the delivery pipe 15. The stains are completely removed by the rinsing of clean water. The wastewater flows to the outside through the delivery pipe 15 and the collection shell 8.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The right side of the outer wall of the feeder housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove 18. The left side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 18 is fixedly connected to a control panel 19. The control panel 19 is used to control the water pump 301, servo motor 303, blower 4, drive motor 9 and exhaust fan 24. The right side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 18 is rotatably connected to a transparent waterproof plate 20. The transparent waterproof plate 20 is used to block water mist and reduce damage to the control panel 19. The size of the transparent waterproof plate 20 matches the mounting groove 18. The rear side of the feeder housing 1 is fixedly connected to an exhaust fan 24. The exhaust fan 24 is a component for ventilating the inside of the feeder housing 1. The outer wall of the exhaust fan 24 is frosted to prevent the exhaust fan 24 from falling off accidentally. The bottom of the outer wall of the feeder housing 1 is rotatably connected to multiple rotating wheels 23. The multiple rotating wheels 23 facilitate the transfer of the machine. The front and rear rotating wheels 23 are symmetrically distributed.

[0038] Specifically, before using the feeder, push the machine to the appropriate position using the rotating wheel 23, then open the transparent waterproof plate 20, control the machine through the control panel 19, pour feed into the hopper 2, set the parameters of each component, and then close the transparent waterproof plate 20 to prevent the control panel 19 from being corroded.

[0039] Working principle: For feed falling from the top of the delivery pipe 15, multiple blowers 4 are turned on in turn to blow the feed into multiple collection shells 8. At the same time, the feed in the top collection shell 8 is thrown by the first throwing plate 10 and falls to a position away from the machine. Because gear 11 and gear 2 13 are meshed and connected, and gear 2 13 is larger than gear 11, when gear 11 rotates, gear 2 13 will also rotate in the opposite direction and at a slower speed than gear 11. This allows the feed in the middle collection shell 8 to fall at a slightly closer distance under the action of the second throwing plate 2 12, and the feed in the bottom collection shell 8 will fall directly to the front of the machine under the blowing of the bottom blower 4. This ensures that enough feed can be scattered in all positions on the water surface. The structure is simple, saves costs, and is easy to maintain.

[0040] Furthermore, clean water is injected into the hopper 2 via water pump 301, and the servo motor 303 is turned on to start the mixing frame 305 to mix the inside of the hopper 2. When there is feed in the hopper 2, the clean water can help the feed flow smoothly to the delivery pipe 15. When there is no feed in the hopper 2, the injected clean water can clean the feed residue in the hopper 2. At the same time, there is a brush 307 on the outside of the spiral pusher 306 connected to the middle mixing frame 305. The brush 307 can clean the gap between the spiral pusher 306 and the delivery pipe 15 more thoroughly under the rinsing of clean water, so as to avoid feed residue contaminating the machine and reduce the possibility of aquatic animals getting sick.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
