Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, specifically a precise quantitative feeding device for feed. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture refers to the economic activity of raising and breeding aquatic animals (such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc.) in a controlled environment using natural or artificial water bodies. With the continuous growth of global demand for aquatic products, aquaculture has developed rapidly and become one of the important methods of food production. Modern aquaculture not only needs to meet market demand but also needs to focus on environmental protection and sustainable development. Therefore, rational aquaculture management and efficient feed utilization are key to achieving a win-win situation for both economic and ecological benefits. Feed is one of the most important inputs in aquaculture, accounting for a large portion of the cost.

[0003] Patent CN219593409U discloses a fish feed dispensing device, including a base with casters fixedly installed at the bottom, a box slidably connected to the top of the base, and a connecting box slidably connected to the inner side of the box. The casters allow the base to move on the ground, pushing the device to the dispensing point. Fish feed is placed into the box, and the feed falls into the connecting box, which can slide inside the box. Under the action of a screen, the feed is sieved to the bottom of the box. Through a V-shaped plate, the feed falls into a connecting pipe and into a conveying box. The conveying box transports the feed into a cylinder, where it falls onto the top of a turntable. As the turntable rotates, centrifugal force causes the feed to be thrown out from the edge of the turntable. This solves the problem that most fish feed dispensing is done manually, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also results in poor dispensing uniformity and low dispensing efficiency.

[0004] Although the existing technologies mentioned above have achieved automation of movement and feeding, the feeding process still requires staff to manually put the feed into the box from the feed pipe. This means that the feeding operation still relies on manual labor, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the feeding amount. In addition, the manual feeding method cannot effectively reduce the input of manpower and still causes certain time and labor costs. In view of this, we propose a precise quantitative feeding device for feed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a precise quantitative feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A precise quantitative feed dispensing device includes a U-shaped support. Four weighing sensors arranged in a matrix are mounted on the top of the U-shaped support to detect the overall weight of the storage component in real time. The weight difference represents the feed output. The four weighing sensors collectively support the storage component, which includes a storage bin for storing feed. Workers can replenish the storage bin periodically, eliminating the need for manual feeding each time. A covered feed inlet pipe is located at the top of the storage bin for adding feed. A discharge pipe is located at the bottom of the storage bin for discharging the feed. A rectangular cover is provided on the outer wall of the discharge pipe for mounting an opening and closing component. A base plate is located at the bottom of the rectangular cover, abutting against the detection ends of the four weighing sensors. An opening and closing component is located on the front of the rectangular cover to control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe. The opening and closing component quickly closes the discharge pipe when the storage component dispenses a quantitative amount of feed, thus achieving quantitative output.

[0008] The rectangular enclosure is equipped with a feed guide hopper, which guides the feed output from the discharge pipe into the feeding pipe. The output end of the feed guide hopper passes through the top of the bottom plate and is connected to a feeding component, which is used to transport the feed output quantitatively from the storage component into the breeding pond. The feeding component includes a feeding pipe that communicates with the feed guide hopper. A second auger is rotatably connected inside the feeding pipe. A second motor is provided at the front end of the feeding pipe to drive the second auger to rotate. The second motor drives the second auger to rotate, and the feed input into the feeding pipe is output backward.

[0009] Preferably, a first motor is provided in the middle of the top of the storage hopper. The output shaft of the first motor passes through the top of the storage hopper and is coaxially connected to a rotating rod. The outer wall of the rotating rod is provided with multiple stirring rods. The rotating rod is driven to rotate by the first motor, and the rotating rod drives the multiple stirring rods to rotate. When the storage hopper outputs feed, the feed flows, which is conducive to the downward output of feed.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the rotating rod is provided with a first auger, the lower half of which is located inside the discharge pipe to ensure that the feed can be output from the discharge pipe and avoid blockage.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the U-shaped support is provided with two fixed uprights arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the middle of the top of the U-shaped support is provided with an avoidance opening for the guide hopper to pass through.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate is provided with circular holes a near the left and right sides, and the two fixed uprights pass through the two circular holes a respectively to ensure the stability of the base plate.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the storage hopper is provided with two symmetrically arranged protrusions, and the bottom of each of the two protrusions is provided with a circular hole b. The two fixed uprights pass through the two circular holes b respectively, thereby improving the stability of the storage hopper.

[0014] Preferably, the opening and closing assembly includes a mounting base fixedly connected to the front side of the rectangular cover. The top of the mounting base is provided with an electric telescopic rod, and the end of the electric telescopic rod is provided with a baffle. The baffle passes through the front side of the rectangular cover to the interior. The top of the baffle is in contact with the bottom of the discharge pipe. The electric telescopic rod drives the baffle to move back and forth. When the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod is fully extended, the baffle completely closes the discharge pipe. When the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod is fully retracted, the baffle completely opens the discharge pipe.

[0015] Preferably, the rear end of the feeding pipe is provided with a distributing component, which includes a fixed cylinder communicating with the feeding pipe. The rear end of the feeding pipe is open, and the bottom of the fixed cylinder is open. A third motor is provided at the top of the fixed cylinder. The weighing sensor, the first motor, the second motor, the third motor, and the electric telescopic rod are all externally powered and coordinated with a controller. When feed needs to be fed, the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod retracts, opening the discharge pipe. The first motor starts working, and the rotating rod drives the stirring rod and the first auger to rotate, outputting the feed from the storage hopper. When the weighing sensor detects a weight difference, the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod extends, closing the discharge pipe. Simultaneously, the second and third motors start working. The working time of the second and third motors is set according to the actual situation, and they automatically stop after a period of time. As long as all the feed in the feeding pipe is output, the second auger will transport the feed in the feeding pipe backward. When the feed enters the fixed cylinder, the feed distribution plate will disperse the feed into the water. The output shaft of the third motor passes through the top of the fixed cylinder and is coaxially connected to a rotating shaft. The bottom end of the rotating shaft is equipped with a feed distribution plate. The third motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft to drive the feed distribution plate to rotate. The feed distribution plate disperses the feed, preventing fish or other farmed organisms from gathering and competing for the feed.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This precise feed dispensing device monitors the overall weight of the feed storage component in real time through four weighing sensors, which can accurately detect the amount of feed output. This design effectively solves the problem of inaccurate feed dispensing in traditional manual feeding, improves the scientific nature and accuracy of feeding, and ensures that fish can obtain the necessary nutrition.

[0018] 2. This precise feed dispensing device features a storage tank design that allows staff to replenish feed periodically without having to manually add it each time, greatly reducing labor input. This automation feature not only improves feed dispensing efficiency but also reduces the labor intensity and time consumption caused by manual operation, making breeding management easier and more efficient.

[0019] 3. The precise quantitative feeding device, with its combination of feed dispensing components and a feed tray, can evenly distribute feed into the water, avoiding chaos caused by fish fighting for feed. This distributed feeding method not only promotes the full utilization of feed but also improves the aquaculture environment, reduces conflicts between farmed organisms, and thus improves the overall efficiency of aquaculture.

[0020] 4. The feed precision quantitative feeding device features an opening and closing component design that makes the feed output process more flexible and safer. When the weighing sensor detects the set amount of feed, the electric telescopic rod automatically controls the movement of the baffle to precisely close the discharge pipe, thereby achieving quantitative output and further ensuring the accuracy of feeding.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] A precise feed dispensing device includes a U-shaped support 1. Four weighing sensors 2 arranged in a matrix are mounted on the top of the U-shaped support 1 to detect the total weight of a storage component 3 in real time. The weight difference represents the feed output. The four weighing sensors 2 collectively support the storage component 3, which includes a storage bin 30 for storing feed. Workers can periodically replenish the storage bin 30, eliminating the need for manual feeding each time. A covered feed inlet pipe 300 is located on the top of the storage bin 30 for adding feed into the storage bin 30. Feed is fed into the storage hopper 30. The bottom end of the storage hopper 30 is provided with a discharge pipe 301 for discharging the feed from the storage hopper 30. The outer wall of the discharge pipe 301 is provided with a rectangular cover 34 for installing an opening and closing component 4. The bottom of the rectangular cover 34 is provided with a base plate 35. The bottom of the base plate 35 abuts against the detection ends of four weighing sensors 2. The front side of the rectangular cover 34 is provided with an opening and closing component 4 for controlling the opening and closing of the output end of the discharge pipe 301. The opening and closing component 4 quickly closes the discharge pipe 301 when the storage component 3 discharges a quantitative amount of feed to achieve quantitative output.

[0032] The rectangular cover 34 is equipped with a feed guide hopper 36, which guides the feed output from the discharge pipe 301 into the feeding pipe 50. The output end of the feed guide hopper 36 passes through the top of the bottom plate 35 and is connected to a feeding component 5, which is used to transport the feed output quantitatively from the storage component 3 into the breeding pond. The feeding component 5 includes a feeding pipe 50 that communicates with the feed guide hopper 36. A second auger 52 is rotatably connected inside the feeding pipe 50. A second motor 51 is provided at the front end of the feeding pipe 50 to drive the second auger 52 to rotate. The second motor 51 drives the second auger 52 to rotate, and the feed input into the feeding pipe 50 is output backward.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first motor 31 is provided in the middle of the top of the storage tank 30. The output shaft of the first motor 31 passes through the top of the storage tank 30 and is coaxially connected to a rotating rod 32. The outer wall of the rotating rod 32 is provided with multiple stirring rods 320. The rotating rod 32 is driven to rotate by the first motor 31, and the rotating rod 32 drives the multiple stirring rods 320 to rotate. When the storage tank 30 outputs feed, the feed flows, which is conducive to the downward output of feed.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom end of the rotating rod 32 is provided with a first auger 33, the lower half of which is located inside the discharge pipe 301, ensuring that the feed can be output from the discharge pipe 301 and avoiding blockage.

[0035] Furthermore, the top of the U-shaped support 1 is provided with two fixed uprights 10 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the middle of the top of the U-shaped support 1 is provided with an avoidance opening 11 for the guide hopper 36 to pass through.

[0036] Furthermore, circular holes a350 are provided at the bottom of the base plate 35 and near the left and right sides. Two fixed uprights 10 pass through the two circular holes a350 respectively to ensure the stability of the base plate 35.

[0037] Furthermore, the outer wall of the storage tank 30 is provided with two symmetrically arranged protruding plates 37. The bottom of each of the two protruding plates 37 is provided with a circular hole b370. The two fixed uprights 10 pass through the two circular holes b370 respectively, thereby improving the stability of the storage tank 30.

[0038] Furthermore, the opening and closing assembly 4 includes a mounting base 40 fixedly connected to the front side of the rectangular cover 34. The top of the mounting base 40 is provided with an electric telescopic rod 41, and the end of the electric telescopic rod 41 is provided with a baffle 42. The baffle 42 passes through the front side of the rectangular cover 34 to the inside. The top of the baffle 42 is in contact with the bottom of the discharge pipe 301. The electric telescopic rod 41 drives the baffle 42 to move back and forth. When the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 41 is fully extended, the baffle 42 completely closes the discharge pipe 301. When the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 41 is fully retracted, the baffle 42 completely opens the discharge pipe 301.

[0039] Furthermore, a feed distribution component 6 is provided at the rear end of the feeding pipe 50. The feed distribution component 6 includes a fixed cylinder 60 connected to the feeding pipe 50. The rear end of the feeding pipe 50 is open, and the bottom of the fixed cylinder 60 is open. A third motor 61 is provided at the top of the fixed cylinder 60. The weighing sensor 2, the first motor 31, the second motor 51, the third motor 61, and the electric telescopic rod 41 are all externally powered and coordinated with a controller. When feed needs to be fed, the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 41 retracts, opening the discharge pipe 301. The first motor 31 starts working, and the rotating rod 32 drives the stirring rod 320 and the first auger 33 to rotate, outputting the feed from the storage hopper 30. When the weighing sensor 2 detects a weight difference, the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 41 extends, opening the discharge pipe 301. 01 is closed. At the same time, the second motor 51 and the third motor 61 start working. The working time of the second motor 51 and the third motor 61 is set according to the actual situation. After running for a period of time, they will automatically stop. As long as all the feed in the feeding pipe 50 is output, the second auger 52 will transport the feed in the feeding pipe 50 backward. When the feed enters the fixed cylinder 60, the feed distribution plate 63 will disperse the feed into the water. The output shaft of the third motor 61 passes through the top of the fixed cylinder 60 and is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 62. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 62 is equipped with the feed distribution plate 63. The third motor 61 drives the rotating shaft 62 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 62 to drive the feed distribution plate 63 to rotate. The feed distribution plate 63 disperses the feed to prevent fish or other farmed organisms from gathering and competing for the feed.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the precise quantitative feeding device is in use, the staff regularly replenishes the feed into the storage tank 30 through the feed pipe 300 to ensure a sufficient feed supply. When feed needs to be added, the system is activated, the weighing sensor 2 monitors the overall weight of the storage component 3 in real time, and calculates according to the set feeding amount. The staff presets the feeding time and the amount of feed to be added through the controller. The movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 41 retracts, causing the baffle 42 to move forward and open the discharge pipe 301. At this time, the first motor 31 starts, and the rotating rod 32 drives the stirring rod 320 and the first auger 33 to rotate, conveying the feed in the storage tank 30 to the discharge pipe 301.

[0041] When the weighing sensor 2 detects the set weight difference, the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 41 extends, and the discharge pipe 301 quickly closes to ensure accurate feed delivery. The output feed enters the feeding pipe 50 through the guide hopper 36. Next, the second motor 51 and the third motor 61 start, and the second auger 52 begins to rotate in the feeding pipe 50, conveying the feed backward. When the feed enters the fixed cylinder 60, the feed distribution disc 63 rotates under the drive of the third motor 61, evenly dispersing the feed into the water, ensuring that the aquatic animals in the breeding pond can ingest the feed evenly. The whole process realizes automation and precise feeding, which greatly improves the efficiency of aquaculture, reduces the need for manual operation, and ensures that the farmed organisms obtain the necessary nutrition.
