Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a feeding device that can quantitatively dispense feed. Background Technology

[0002] Land-based cylindrical fish farming is a fish farming model conducted on land using circular, barrel-shaped facilities. These barrels are typically made of specific materials, possessing excellent structural stability and leak-proof performance. This farming model allows for precise control of the farming environment, using specialized equipment to strictly control key indicators such as water temperature, water quality, and dissolved oxygen levels, creating suitable and stable conditions for fish growth. In terms of feeding, feed can be precisely administered according to the fish's growth stage and nutritional needs, improving feed utilization. The cylindrical design facilitates automated management of the farming process, such as automatic feeding and wastewater disposal, reducing labor costs and improving management efficiency. Furthermore, this model allows for concentrated fish farming within limited land space, effectively improving land use efficiency. Simultaneously, because the farming system is relatively independent, it allows for better control of disease transmission, reduces the impact of external environmental changes on farmed fish, ensures healthy fish growth, and achieves efficient and sustainable fish farming production.

[0003] In the current practical application of land-based cylindrical fish farming, there are several efficiency and environmental issues that urgently need to be addressed. Currently, the aeration system and the feeding system in this farming model are designed separately, each equipped with independent electrical equipment. The aeration equipment needs to run continuously to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water within the farming tanks to meet the fish's survival needs; while the feeding equipment is used to add fish food to the tanks at regular or irregular intervals. This separate design and independent operation leads to the consumption of electricity in multiple ways, resulting in significant energy waste, which contradicts current environmental protection principles. Furthermore, in some farming scenarios, manual feeding is still used. With this traditional method, staff need to weigh the fish food in advance to ensure that the amount of food added each time meets the fish's growth needs. However, manual operation inevitably introduces errors, making it difficult to accurately control the amount of food added. Moreover, this additional step of weighing the fish food increases the complexity and workload of the farming process, making the entire process inefficient and inconvenient. In the long run, this is neither conducive to reducing farming costs nor improving farming efficiency and quality.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a feeding device capable of quantitative feeding to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 An embodiment of this utility model provides a feeding device capable of quantitative feeding, including a land-based cylindrical barrel 1, a feeding mechanism 3, and an oxygenation mechanism 4. A reinforcing ring 2 is fixedly sleeved at the middle of the outer surface of the land-based cylindrical barrel 1. The feeding mechanism 3 includes a storage hopper 301. A conveying pipe 303 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the storage hopper 301 through multiple support rods 305. An auger 304 is rotatably installed at the center of the top surface of the conveying pipe 303. The lower end of the auger 304 passes through the conveying pipe 303 and extends to the lower end of the conveying pipe 303. A first bevel gear 306 is fixedly installed. A feeding pipe 302 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the conveying pipe 303. An extension plate 309 is fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the lower end of the storage hopper 301.

[0026] The oxygenation mechanism 4 includes an oxygen pump 406. An outlet pipe 408 is fixedly connected to the output end of the oxygen pump 406. A control box 411 is fixedly connected to one end of the outlet pipe 408. A diverter pipe 405 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outlet pipe 408. An annular air pipe 401 is fixedly connected to one end of the diverter pipe 405. A cross-shaped air supply pipe 402 is fixedly connected between the inner rings of the annular air pipe 401. A connecting bend pipe 404 is fixedly connected between the control box 411 and the annular air pipe 401. A rotating rod 413 is rotatably sleeved on the end of the control box 411 away from the connecting bend pipe 404. A fan wheel 410 and a second bevel gear 414 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod 413, respectively.

[0027] The end of the feeding pipe 302 is located at the upper end of the land-based cylindrical tank 1. Support legs 307 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of both extension plates 309, and a support base 308 is fixedly installed between the lower ends of the two support legs 307. An air inlet pipe 407 is fixedly connected to the input end of the oxygen pump 406, and an annular air pipe 401 is fixedly embedded in the middle of the outer surface of the reinforcing ring 2. A portion of the cross-shaped air filling pipe 402 is located inside the land-based cylindrical tank 1, and multiple air nozzles are opened at the lower end of the cross-shaped air filling pipe 402 located inside the land-based cylindrical tank 1. A one-way air valve 403 is fixedly installed on the pipe body connecting the bend pipe 404, and a first air valve 409 is fixedly installed on the pipe body of the diverter pipe 405 near the outlet pipe 408. A second air valve 412 is fixedly installed near the control box 411 on the air outlet pipe 408. The impeller 410 is located inside the control box 411, and the second bevel gear 414 is located outside the control box 411 and is meshed with the first bevel gear 306.

[0028] Specifically, the device integrates the oxygenation mechanism 4 and the feeding mechanism 3 into one unit, achieving both oxygenation and feeding functions through a single power source—the oxygen pump 406. After the oxygen pump 406 starts, gas is supplied through the outlet pipe 408, the diversion pipe 405, and the cross-shaped gas filling pipe 402 for oxygenation. Simultaneously, the control box 411 and the connecting bend 404 drive the impeller 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the auger 304 to feed the material. This design avoids the energy waste of traditional separate operation and aligns with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 3 achieves quantitative feed delivery through an auger 304 and two bevel gears. The rotating auger 304 transports the feed from the storage hopper 301 to the conveying pipe 303, and finally sprays it out through the feeding pipe 302. Combined with the timed opening and closing of two air valves, the feeding amount and time can be precisely controlled, avoiding errors from manual feeding and improving the accuracy and efficiency of feeding.

[0030] The device achieves timed and quantitative feeding by controlling the opening and closing of the air valve, reducing manual intervention and optimizing the aquaculture management process. This automated design not only reduces labor costs but also improves aquaculture efficiency. The overall structure of the device is rationally designed, with both the feeding mechanism 3 and the aeration mechanism 4 mounted on the land-based cylindrical tank 1, saving space. Reinforcing rings 2 and supporting legs 307 enhance the stability of the device and facilitate operation and maintenance. The aeration mechanism 4 distributes oxygen evenly into the aquaculture water through an annular air pipe 401 and a cross-shaped air supply pipe 402, ensuring sufficient dissolved oxygen for the fish and promoting their healthy growth. The multiple jet nozzles at the lower end of the cross-shaped air supply pipe 402 further optimize the aeration effect.

[0031] Working principle: During use, fish are raised inside the land-based cylindrical tank 1, requiring continuous oxygenation. The storage hopper 301 can store a large amount of food for a long time. During the oxygenation process, the oxygenation pump 406 needs to be started first. After the oxygenation pump 406 starts, the second air valve 412 is closed first, and then the first air valve 409 is opened. The gas passes through the air outlet pipe 408, the diverter pipe 405, and the cross air supply pipe 402, and is then sprayed out by the jet nozzle for oxygenation. In this process, the opening and closing of the second air valve 412 and the first air valve 409 can be pre-designed. This timed opening and closing design is a relatively common control method in existing technology. When the second air valve 412 is opened and the first air valve 409 is closed, the gas passes through the control box 411 and the connecting bend pipe 404 and enters the annular air pipe 401 to achieve oxygenation. As gas flows into the control box 411, it drives the impeller 410 to rotate. The rotation of the impeller 410 drives the rotating rod 413 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 414 to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear 414 drives the first bevel gear 306 to rotate, which in turn drives the auger 304 to rotate. After the auger 304 rotates, it can transport the food stored in the storage hopper 301 to the conveying pipe 303, and finally spray it out through the feeding pipe 302 into the land-based cylindrical barrel 1. Therefore, this device can achieve the function of timed and quantitative feeding by controlling the opening and closing of the second air valve 412 and the first air valve 409 at a time. Moreover, the whole device only requires one oxygen pump 406, which greatly saves electricity and is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0032] 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.
