Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture machinery, specifically to an automatic feeding machine for rice-duck co-culture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, a common integrated farming method during rice cultivation is the rice-duck co-cultivation system. This system fully utilizes ecological principles such as symbiosis, niche management, and food chains. It's a composite ecosystem combining natural and artificial methods, with rice paddies as the base and rice cultivation at its center, and ducks raised in netted enclosures within the fields. The ducks' continuous activity loosens the soil, stimulating rice growth. Their droppings serve as organic fertilizer, and their grazing on weeds and preying on pests replaces the use of herbicides and pesticides, thus reducing or eliminating the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Meanwhile, the tender weeds, pests, earthworms, snails, and frogs produced in the rice paddies provide the ducks with nutrient-rich natural animal and plant feed, resulting in rapid duck production and delicious meat. This ecological farming system, where ducks are raised in the fields, and the ducks protect the rice, allowing rice and ducks to coexist and grow, has broad application prospects.

[0003] The current rice-duck farming method usually involves feeding the ducks by farmers scattering feed at regular intervals. However, this manual feeding method is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If farmers go into the rice paddies to scatter feed for the breeding ducks, the rice paddies are mostly muddy. As a result, the farmers' movement will damage the rice paddy's growth system, causing the rice to tilt or grow at an angle due to the mud flowing down, which will lead to poor growth of the rice later on.

[0004] Meanwhile, most existing feeding machines are installed at fixed points to feed breeding ducks. However, this feeding method makes it difficult to achieve the effect of spreading feed over a large area, forcing the breeding ducks to eat only at fixed locations. Consequently, the breeding ducks cannot move around in the paddy fields during feeding. Therefore, existing equipment is less able to stimulate rice growth by loosening the soil through the activity of the breeding ducks when feeding them. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding machine for rice-duck co-culture, including a base 1, a plurality of support legs 2 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, a storage box 3 fixedly installed at the top of the support legs 2, a feeding pipe 4 fixedly installed at one end of the lower surface of the storage box 3, a temporary storage box 5 fixedly installed at the other end of the feeding pipe 4, and the temporary storage box 5 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, a partition 6 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the temporary storage box 5, a wind deflector 7 provided in the through hole of the partition 6, an adjustment mechanism 8 provided on the upper surface of the base 1, a discharge pipe 9 fixedly connected to the right side of the temporary storage box 5, a high-pressure blower 10 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, an exhaust pipe 11 fixedly installed at the outlet end of the high-pressure blower 10, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 11 fixedly installed at the air inlet of the temporary storage box 5.

An electric slide rail 81 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1. Two electric slide rails 81 are provided, and both are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the base 1 with the center line as the reference. A slider 82 is slidably installed on the electric slide rail 81. An electric slide rail 83 is fixedly installed on the slider 82. A slider 84 is slidably installed on the electric slide rail 83.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the power terminals of electric slide rail 1 81 and electric slide rail 2 83 are connected to the external power supply output terminal via cables. At the same time, the communication control terminals of electric slide rail 1 81 and electric slide rail 2 83 are connected to an external controller via communication cables.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a door 31 is provided on the left side of the storage box 3, and the door 31 is movably installed on the left side of the storage box 3 via a hinge. A handle 32 is fixedly installed on the left side of the door 31. A positioning plate 33 is fixedly installed on the left side of the temporary storage box 5 near the door 31. A fixing plate 34 is fixedly installed on the left side of the door 31. A pin 35 is slidably installed between the fixing plate 34 and the positioning plate 33.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the feed bin 3 of this application facilitates farmers to add feed to the bin through the set door 31. At the same time, the set fixing plate 34 and positioning plate 33, together with the pin 35, enable the door 31 to be closed to prevent rainwater erosion, and at the same time maintain the dryness of the feed inside the feed bin 3.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the movable buckle 86 is spherical, and the movable buckle 86 is adapted to the ball head 85 for fastening and installation.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, this application makes it easier for the discharge pipe 9 to move by means of the spherical movable buckle 86, and avoids the situation where the discharge pipe 9 gets stuck.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the middle section of the feed pipe 4 is set as an inclined pipe, and the inclined pipe of the feed pipe 4 is inclined at an angle of forty-five degrees.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, the feeding pipe 4 is set at a 45-degree angle to facilitate the feeding of the storage box 3 by the weight of the feed itself, so that it can move into the temporary storage box 5, thereby reducing costs and improving the practical effect of the equipment.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the connecting hose 88 has a built-in reset spring, and the discharge pipe 9 is a rubber hose.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, this application utilizes the connecting hose 88 to maintain the stability of the discharge pipe 87 when it changes height and horizontal angle with the electric slide rail 1 81 and the electric slide rail 2 83, thus avoiding the situation where the discharge pipe 87 cannot move due to angle changes.

[0038] When this automatic feeding machine for rice-duck co-culture is working, the feed inside the storage bin 3 first enters the temporary storage bin 5 through the feed pipe 4 and is piled up at the inlet of the discharge pipe 9 by the partition 6. Then, the external controller controls and starts the high-pressure blower 10. The high-pressure blower 10 draws the outside air into the machine body and discharges it into the exhaust pipe 11 through the air outlet. The exhaust pipe 11 blows the air into the temporary storage bin 5 and blows the feed inside the temporary storage bin 5 into the discharge pipe 9. Then, the high-pressure air flow drives the feed inside the discharge pipe 9 to move towards the discharge pipe 87. Finally, the feed is thrown out through the discharge pipe 9, so that the feed is scattered into the paddy field in a parabolic shape.

[0039] If the angle of the discharge pipe 87 needs to be changed, the two electric slide rails 81 are first controlled by the external controller to run and drive the two sliders 82 to run synchronously. Then, the two sliders 82 drive the electric slide rail 83 to move up and down, further changing the height of the discharge port of the discharge pipe 87. When the discharge pipe 87 moves, the movable hose moves with the discharge pipe 87, thereby achieving the effect of changing the height of the discharge pipe 87. If the discharge pipe 87 needs to spray material left and right, the electric slide rail 83 is started under control, and then the slider 84 moves back and forth, thereby changing the horizontal angle of the discharge pipe 87. Whenever the angle of the discharge pipe 87 is changed, the ball head 85 and the movable buckle 86 move accordingly, making the movement of the discharge pipe 87 convenient. This further allows the feed to cover the paddy field area when it is thrown out, so that the breeding ducks can move along the paddy field area when feeding, thereby loosening the soil in the paddy field and improving the growth effect of rice.
