Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture, and in particular to a multi-layer feeder. Background Technology
[0002] In aquaculture, to increase the stocking density of aquatic products and save space, aquaculture trays are often designed with a multi-layered stacked structure. To ensure consistent growth of aquatic products in each layer, it is necessary to ensure consistent feed input in each layer. However, the multi-layered stacked structure of aquaculture trays is not conducive to rapid feeding and uniform distribution of feed. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a feeding device that can rapidly distribute feed and is suitable for multi-layered aquaculture trays. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-layer feeder.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include:
[0005] A multi-layer feeder is formed by longitudinally stacking multiple individual feeders; each individual feeder includes a feeding section and a feeding section; each individual feeder has several feeding ports; the feeding section is connected to at least one feeding port and forms a guide plate at the bottom of the feeding port connected to it; the feeding ports on the feeding section that are not connected to the feeding section are configured as through structures; the feeding ports on the feeding section that are connected to the feeding section are longitudinally connected to only one feeding port on the top individual feeder; the number of feeding ports on the top individual feeder is greater than or equal to the number of stacked individual feeders.
[0006] Furthermore, the feeding section is fan-shaped.
[0007] Furthermore, the feeding section is connected to the outer circumference of the fan-shaped feeding section; the end of the feeding section away from the feeding section is the feeding port.
[0008] Furthermore, the feeding section is marked with a number indicating the location of the individual component distributor.
[0009] Furthermore, the guide plate is inclined downwards to facilitate the smooth output of materials from the feeding port of the feeding section.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the feeding section is provided with a slot that cooperates with the longitudinally adjacent individual feeder.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the feeding port on the feeding section that is connected to the feeding part is only connected to one feeding port on the single feeder located at the top in the longitudinal direction, so that each feeding port on the single feeder located at the top can be connected to the feeding part of one layer, which facilitates the feeding of materials to each layer on the single feeder located at the top, thereby accurately controlling the feeding amount of each layer. When applied to the aquaculture field, the same feed can be fed to each layer, ensuring the consistency of species growth in each layer. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example:
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a multi-layer feeder is formed by longitudinally stacking multiple individual feeders 100; each individual feeder 100 includes a feeding section 110 and a feeding section 120; the feeding section 110 is preferably configured as a fan-shaped ring, which facilitates the circular arrangement of several multi-layer feeders and saves space; each individual feeder 100 is provided with 7 feeding ports 101, which, for ease of understanding, are respectively defined as the first feeding port 111, the second feeding port 112, the third feeding port 113, the fourth feeding port 114, the fifth feeding port 115, the sixth feeding port 116, the seventh feeding port 117, the eleventh feeding port 118, the eleventh feeding port 119, the eleventh feeding port 110 ... The feeding section 120 has four feeding ports 114, 115, 116, and 117; it is connected to at least one feeding port 101, and a guide plate 130 is formed at the bottom of the feeding port 101 connected to it. The feeding ports 101 on the feeding section 110 that are not connected to the feeding section 120 are configured as through-hole structures, meaning that material can be guided from the corresponding feeding port 101 into the feeding section 120 without falling below. The feed will fall into the individual feeder 100 below through the through-feeding port 101; the feeding port 101 on the feeding part 110 that is connected to the feeding part 120 is only connected to one feeding port 101 on the individual feeder 100 located at the top in the longitudinal direction, so that each feeding port 101 on the individual feeder 100 located at the top can be connected to the feeding part 120 of one layer, which facilitates the feeding of materials to each layer on the individual feeder 100 located at the top, thereby accurately controlling the feeding amount of each layer. When applied to the aquaculture field, the same feed can be fed to each layer, ensuring the consistency of species growth in each layer; the number of feeding ports 101 on the individual feeder 100 located at the top is greater than or equal to the number of stacked individual feeders 100. Since one feeding port 101 corresponds to one layer of feeding, the number of feeding ports 101 on the individual feeder 100 located at the top determines that the number of individual feeders 100 can only be less and not more.
[0026] In one embodiment, the feeding part 120 is connected to the outer circumference of the fan-shaped feeding part 110; the end of the feeding part 120 away from the feeding part 110 is the feeding port 121;
[0027] In one embodiment, the feeding section 110 is provided with a number indicating the location of the individual distributors 100. The numbering allows for accurate stacking of the individual distributors 100, avoiding positional errors. The top of the feeding section 110 is provided with a slot 102 that mates with the vertically adjacent individual distributors 100. The slot 102 facilitates the docking and positioning of adjacent individual distributors 100.
[0028] In one embodiment, the guide plate 130 is inclined downward to facilitate the smooth output of material from the feed port 121 of the feeding section 120.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the two individual distributors 100 are the first individual distributor 10 and the second individual distributor 20, respectively. The first individual distributor 10 is the top individual distributor 100. The feeding part 120 on the second individual distributor 20 is connected to two feeding ports 101, that is, the first feeding port 111 and the second feeding port 112 are connected to the feeding part 120. The baffle between the first feeding port 111 and the second feeding port 112 can be removed to form a larger feeding port 101. When the material is fed from the first feeding port 111 of the first individual distributor 10, it will be blocked by the first guide bottom plate 131 and output from the feeding port 121 of the first individual distributor 10, and will not fall into the second individual distributor 20. When the material is fed from the second feeding port 112 of the first individual distributor 10, it will be blocked by the second guide bottom plate 132 and output from the feeding port 121 of the second individual distributor 20, and will not fall into the third individual distributor 30.
[0030] like Figure 3-6 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of individual distributors 100 is seven, arranged from top to bottom as follows: first individual distributor 10, second individual distributor 20, third individual distributor 30, fourth individual distributor 40, fifth individual distributor 50, sixth individual distributor 60, and seventh individual distributor 70; the guide base plate 130 on the first individual distributor 10 is the first guide base plate 131; the guide base plate 130 on the second individual distributor 20 is the second guide base plate 132; the guide base plate 130 on the third individual distributor 30 is the third guide base plate 133; the guide base plate 130 on the fourth individual distributor 40 is the fourth guide base plate 134; the guide base plate 130 on the fifth individual distributor 50 is the fifth guide base plate 135; the guide base plate 130 on the sixth individual distributor 60 is the sixth guide base plate 136; and the guide base plate 130 on the seventh individual distributor 70 is the seventh guide base plate 137.
[0031] The first single-unit distributor 10 is provided with seven dispensing ports, which flow to the feeding section 120 of a single-unit distributor 100 respectively; when the material is fed from the first feeding port 111 of the first single-unit distributor 10, it will be blocked by the first guide bottom plate 131 and output from the feeding port 121 of the first single-unit distributor 10, and will not fall into the second single-unit distributor 20.
[0032] The feeding section 120 on the second unit distributor 20 is connected to two feeding ports 101, that is, the first feeding port 111 and the second feeding port 112 are connected to the feeding section 120; the baffle between the first feeding port 111 and the second feeding port 112 can be removed to form a larger feeding port 101; in one embodiment, the feeding section 120 on the second unit distributor 20 can be connected only to the second feeding port 112; when the material fed from the second feeding port 112 of the first unit distributor 10 is blocked by the second guide bottom plate 132 and output from the feeding port 121 of the second unit distributor 20, it will not fall into the third unit distributor 30; and since the second feeding port 112 on the first unit distributor 10 is a through structure, the material can fall into the second dispensing port on the second unit distributor 20.
[0033] The feeding section 120 on the third individual distributor 30 is connected to two feeding ports 101, that is, the second feeding port 112 and the third feeding port 113 are connected to the feeding section 120; the baffle between the second feeding port 112 and the third feeding port 113 can be removed to form a larger feeding port 101; the feeding section 120 on the third individual distributor 30 can be connected only to the third feeding port 113; when the material fed from the third feeding port 113 of the first individual distributor 10 is blocked by the third guide bottom plate 133 and output from the feeding port 121 of the third individual distributor 30, it will not fall into the fourth individual distributor 40; and since the third feeding ports 113 on the first individual distributor 10 and the second individual distributor 20 are both through structures, the material can fall into the third feeding port on the third individual distributor 30.
[0034] The feeding section 120 on the fourth unit distributor 40 is connected to two feeding ports 101, that is, the first feeding port 111 and the fourth feeding port 114 are connected to the feeding section 120; the baffle between the first feeding port 111 and the fourth feeding port 114 can be removed to form a larger feeding port 101; the feeding section 120 on the fourth unit distributor 40 can be connected only to the fourth feeding port 114; when the material fed from the fourth feeding port 114 of the first unit distributor 10 is blocked by the fourth guide bottom plate 134 and output from the feeding port 121 of the fourth unit distributor 40, it will not fall into the fifth unit distributor 50; and since the fourth feeding ports 114 on the first unit distributor 10, the second unit distributor 20 and the third unit distributor 30 are all through structures, the material can fall into the fourth feeding port on the fourth unit distributor 40.
[0035] The feeding section 120 on the fifth individual distributor 50 is connected to the fifth feeding port 115. When the material fed into the fifth feeding port 115 of the first individual distributor 10 is blocked by the fifth guide bottom plate 135 and output from the feeding port 121 of the fifth individual distributor 50, it will not fall into the sixth individual distributor 60. Since the fifth feeding ports 115 on the first individual distributor 10, the second individual distributor 20, the third individual distributor 30, and the fourth individual distributor 40 are all through structures, the material can fall into the fifth feeding port on the fifth individual distributor 50.
[0036] The feeding section 120 on the sixth individual distributor 60 is connected to two feeding ports 101, that is, the fifth feeding port 115 and the sixth feeding port 116 are connected to the feeding section 120; the baffle between the fifth feeding port 115 and the sixth feeding port 116 can be removed to form a larger feeding port 101; the feeding section 120 on the sixth individual distributor 60 can be connected only to the sixth feeding port 116; when the material fed from the sixth feeding port 116 of the first individual distributor 10 is blocked by the sixth guide bottom plate 136 and output from the feeding port 121 of the sixth individual distributor 60, it will not fall into the seventh individual distributor 70; and since the sixth feeding ports 116 on the first individual distributor 10, the second individual distributor 20, the third individual distributor 30, the fourth individual distributor 40, and the fifth individual distributor 50 are all through structures, the material can fall into the sixth feeding port on the sixth individual distributor 60.
[0037] The feeding section 120 on the seventh individual distributor 70 is connected to two feeding ports 101, that is, the fifth feeding port 115 and the seventh feeding port 117 are connected to the feeding section 120; the baffle between the fifth feeding port 115 and the seventh feeding port 117 can be removed to form a larger feeding port 101; the feeding section 120 on the seventh individual distributor 70 can be connected only to the seventh feeding port 117; when the material fed from the seventh feeding port 117 of the first individual distributor 10 is blocked by the seventh guide bottom plate 137 and output from the feeding port 121 of the seventh individual distributor 70; and since the seventh feeding ports 117 on the first individual distributor 10, the second individual distributor 20, the third individual distributor 30, the fourth individual distributor 40, the fifth individual distributor 50, and the sixth individual distributor 60 are all through structures, the material can fall into the seventh feeding port on the seventh individual distributor 70.
[0038] The second individual feeder 20, the third individual feeder 30, the fourth individual feeder 40, the sixth individual feeder 60, and the seventh individual feeder 70 are all connected to their two adjacent feeding ports 101, which allows for more flow space after the material falls, enabling the material to be output more quickly and improving the feeding speed.
