Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an aquatic feeding device, specifically a feed crushing and feeding pipe device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] As a vital component of the global food supply chain, aquaculture has faced increasing demand and multiple challenges in recent years. Traditional aquaculture methods, especially in high-density environments, often encounter problems such as water quality deterioration, frequent disease outbreaks, and low feed conversion rates. These issues not only affect the growth rate and health of farmed organisms but also increase farming costs and limit the industry's sustainable development.

[0003] In the current aquaculture industry, AI technology has been widely applied to automated feed dispensing systems, especially for feeding adult shrimp via pipeline systems, which has greatly improved farming efficiency. However, for feeding juvenile aquatic organisms such as small shrimp, the traditional pipeline system is difficult to use effectively for transporting and dispensing their feed, which is usually in powder form, thus still relying on manual operation. This not only increases labor costs but also makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity and timeliness of feed dispensing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feed crushing pipeline feeding device for aquaculture. By setting a crushing component between the feed cylinder and the feeding pipeline, the second grinding element in the crushing component is sleeved outside the first grinding element. When the second grinding element rotates, it crushes the feed, thereby enabling the feeding of powdered feed and improving work efficiency.

[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feed crushing pipeline feeding device for aquaculture, including a base and a feeding pipeline. A crushing component is provided at the top of the feeding pipeline, and a feed cylinder is provided at the top of the crushing component. A control valve for controlling the feed falling is provided between the feed cylinder and the crushing component. The crushing component includes a housing mounted on the feeding pipeline. A first grinding element is provided at the center of the housing, and a second grinding element is rotatably disposed in the housing. The second grinding element is sleeved outside the first grinding element. The crushing component also includes a drive mechanism disposed outside the housing.

[0006] Preferably, a gap is provided between the first grinding element and the second grinding element for the passage of feed, and the size of the gap gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0007] Preferably, the first grinding element is fixed inside the housing, and the feed is gradually crushed when the second grinding element rotates.

[0008] Preferably, the first grinding element is movable up and down, and the crushing assembly further includes an adjusting drive element disposed inside the feeding pipe for driving the first grinding element to move up and down.

[0009] Preferably, the second grinding part is further provided with an annular rail on its exterior, and the inner wall of the housing is provided with an annular groove that cooperates with the annular rail. The second grinding part is also fixed with a first gear on its exterior.

[0010] Preferably, the drive mechanism outside the housing includes a rotary drive component fixed outside the housing, and the output end of the rotary drive component is connected to a second gear, which meshes with the first gear.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the feeding pipe is detachably connected to a disperser, and the other end of the feeding pipe is connected to an airflow generator.

[0012] Preferably, the base is provided with a swing driver on top, and a turntable is provided on the swing driver. The swing driver is also provided with a motor for driving the turntable to swing. A support is fixed on one side of the top of the turntable. The support is movably connected to the feeding pipe. A telescopic drive is connected to the other end of the top of the turntable. The output end of the telescopic drive is movably connected to the feeding pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the base is also provided with an electrical control box, which contains a control motherboard and a wireless communication module, a data processing module, and a data storage module.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0015] 1. This application installs a crushing component between the feeding pipe and the feed cylinder, and the crushing component is provided with a first grinding element and a second grinding element. The second grinding element is sleeved on the outside of the first grinding element, and there is a gap between the second grinding element and the first grinding element for feed to pass through. The size of the gap gradually decreases from top to bottom. The feed is gradually crushed into a powder suitable for small shrimp to eat by the rotation of the second grinding element.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a feed crushing and feeding device for aquaculture, including a base 1 and a feeding pipe 6. A crushing component 63 is provided at the top of the feeding pipe 6, and a feed cylinder 64 is provided at the top of the crushing component 63. A control valve 641 for controlling the feed falling is provided between the feed cylinder 64 and the crushing component 63. The crushing component 63 includes a housing 631 installed on the feeding pipe 6. A first grinding element 632 is provided at the center of the housing 631. A second grinding element 633 is rotatably disposed in the housing 631 and is sleeved on the outside of the first grinding element 632. The crushing component 63 also includes a drive mechanism disposed outside the housing 631. A gap is provided between the first grinding element 632 and the second grinding element 633 for feed to pass through, and the size of the gap gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0029] When feeding is required, the feed is first placed into the feed hopper 64. The control valve 641 is opened, and the feed falls into the housing 631 of the crushing assembly 63 under gravity. The drive mechanism is activated, causing the second grinding element 633 to rotate. The feed passes through the gap between the first grinding element 632 and the second grinding element 633, and is crushed under gradually increasing grinding pressure. The crushed feed is then transported to the aquaculture area through the feeding pipe 6 for aquatic organisms to consume.

[0030] Example 1: Reference Figures 4-5 As shown, the first grinding element 632 is fixed inside the housing 631, and when the second grinding element 633 rotates, it can gradually crush the feed.

[0031] Example 2: Reference Figure 7 As shown, the first grinding element 632 is capable of moving up and down, and the crushing assembly 63 also includes an adjusting drive element 635 disposed inside the feeding pipe 6 for driving the first grinding element 632 to move up and down.

[0032] The adjusting drive component 635 can be a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, electric push rod, etc., and the specific choice depends on the design requirements of the device and the actual application environment. By controlling the extension and retraction of the adjusting drive component 635, the position of the first grinding element 632 can be adjusted, thereby changing the gap size between it and the second grinding element 633. This allows control over the degree of feed crushing, thus adapting to the feeding habits and digestive abilities of different aquatic organisms.

[0033] As the shrimp gradually grow, in order to adapt to shrimp at different growth stages, this application also provides another implementation method. By providing an adjustment drive 635 in the device, the adjustment drive 635 can move the first grinding element 632 up and down, thereby adjusting the gap size between the first grinding element 632 and the second grinding element 633, thereby adjusting the grinding particle size, and thus adjusting the grinding particle size according to the shrimp at different growth stages.

[0034] The second grinding element 633 is further provided with an annular rail 6332 on its exterior, and the inner wall of the housing 631 is also provided with an annular groove that cooperates with the annular rail 6332. The second grinding element 633 is also fixed with a first gear 6331 on its exterior. The drive mechanism outside the housing 631 includes a rotary drive element 634 fixed outside the housing 631. The output end of the rotary drive element 634 is connected to a second gear 6341, and the second gear 6341 meshes with the first gear 6331.

[0035] The rotary drive 634 is activated, and through the meshing of the second gear 6341 and the first gear 6331, it drives the second grinding piece 633 to rotate. During the rotation of the second grinding piece 633, its outer ring rail 6332 slides along the ring groove on the inner wall of the housing 631 to ensure the stability of the rotational motion.

[0036] refer to Figures 5-6 As shown, a disperser 61 is detachably connected to one end of the feeding pipe 6, and an airflow generator 62 is connected to the other end of the feeding pipe 6. The main function of the airflow generator 62 is to generate airflow and use the force of the airflow to transport the crushed feed through the feeding pipe 6 to the aquaculture area.

[0037] The airflow generator 62 can be a fan, air pump, or other device capable of generating airflow. By adjusting the output airflow of the airflow generator 62, the feeding speed and distance of the feed can be controlled to meet different feeding needs.

[0038] The base 1 is equipped with a swing driver 4 on top, and a turntable 5 is mounted on the swing driver 4. The swing driver 4 is also equipped with a motor for driving the turntable 5 to swing. A support member 7 is fixed on one side of the top of the turntable 5. The support member 7 is movably connected to the feeding pipe 6. The other end of the top of the turntable 5 is connected to a telescopic drive member 8. The output end of the telescopic drive member 8 is movably connected to the feeding pipe 6.

[0039] When the position of the feeding pipe 6 needs to be adjusted, the turntable 5 is first oscillated by the motor inside the swing actuator 4 to adjust the horizontal angle of the feeding pipe 6. The vertical angle of the feeding pipe 6 is adjusted by the telescopic movement of the telescopic drive 8, thereby covering a wider aquaculture area.

[0040] To prevent feed accumulation, the turntable 5 is driven to rotate by the motor inside the swing driver 4. The range of feed scattering can be adjusted by the telescopic drive 8, and the speed of airflow can be adjusted by the rotation speed of the airflow generator 62 to change the feed dispersion range and prevent feed accumulation.

[0041] refer to Figure 8 As shown, an electrical control box 2 is also installed on the base 1. The electrical control box 2 contains a control motherboard, which also includes a wireless communication module 21, a data processing module 22, and a data storage module 23. The wireless communication module 21 is used for wireless communication with remote devices (such as mobile phones, computers, etc.) to achieve remote monitoring and control. The data processing module 22 is responsible for processing the data received from the sensor assembly 3 and executing various algorithms and logical operations. The data storage module 23 is used to store the processed data, as well as possible historical data and configuration information. An expansion interface 24 is also provided inside the electrical control box 2. The expansion interface 24 provides flexibility and scalability, allowing the feeding device to add or replace sensors as needed. The sensor assembly 3 is connected to the expansion interface 24 via wires. The sensor assembly 3 includes a water temperature sensor, a dissolved oxygen sensor, and a pH sensor. The water temperature sensor measures the water temperature in the aquaculture area, the dissolved oxygen sensor measures the dissolved oxygen content in the water, and the pH sensor measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water.

[0042] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
