Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice snail farming technology, specifically a feeding device for rice snail farming. Background Technology
[0002] Rice-snail farming is an ecologically efficient agricultural farming model that combines the advantages of rice cultivation and snail farming. It not only improves the comprehensive utilization rate of paddy fields, but also provides abundant organic fertilizer for rice through the excrement and uneaten feed of snails, thus promoting rice growth.
[0003] In traditional rice-snail farming, feeding mainly relies on manual operation. Farmers usually scatter feed directly in the paddy field or use simple feeding devices. However, these methods have obvious limitations. First, manual feeding is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to achieve uniform feeding over a large area, resulting in some snails growing slowly due to lack of food. Second, simple feeding devices often lack mobility and can only be fixed in a certain location in the paddy field, which also leads to uneven feed distribution and affects snail growth. Therefore, a feeding device for rice-snail farming is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding device for rice snail farming to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A feeding device for rice snail farming includes a rice paddy, a support frame is fixedly installed above the rice paddy, a driving structure is provided on the top of the support frame, and a feeding and dispensing structure is provided outside the driving structure.
[0007] The material feeding structure includes horizontal plates on the left and right sides of the driving structure. A connecting pipe extending to the bottom of each horizontal plate is fixedly installed at the top of the two horizontal plates. A storage cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of each connecting pipe. A feeding hopper, fitted outside the connecting pipe, is fixedly installed at the bottom of each horizontal plate. A feeding port is opened on the outer wall of each feeding hopper. The bottom of each feeding hopper has a rounded design. A feeding motor is fixedly installed on the surface of each feeding hopper. A rotating rod extending into the interior of each feeding hopper is fixedly installed at the output end of each feeding motor. The two rotating rods are rotatably installed inside the two feeding hoppers. Two rubber plates are fixedly installed outside each of the two rotating rods. The two rubber plates are symmetrically distributed about the rotating rods. The two connecting pipes are located inside the two upper rubber plates.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The feeding device is suspended above the paddy field by a support frame and equipped with two storage cylinders to store feed. The feed falls into the feeding hoppers on both sides through a connecting pipe. The feeding motor on the right side drives the rotating rod and rubber plate to rotate counterclockwise, scooping up the feed and scattering it from the feeding port. At the same time, the feeding motor on the left side operates clockwise. Subsequently, the driving walking structure is started, which moves the entire feeding structure forward, so as to achieve uniform scattering of feed in the paddy field. This device improves the feeding efficiency and feed distribution uniformity in rice snail farming.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0010] Furthermore, the driving structure includes a top frame fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, a rack fixedly installed on the top of the top frame, a U-shaped frame sleeved on the outside of the top frame, two horizontal plates fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame respectively, two rotating rollers rotatably installed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame and extending to their inner sides, four rotating rollers sliding on the top of the support frame, a walking motor fixedly installed on the right side of the U-shaped frame, a transmission rod rotating inside the U-shaped frame fixedly installed at the output end of the walking motor, and a drive gear meshing with the top of the rack fixedly installed on the outside of the transmission rod.
[0011] Furthermore, a sealing motor is fixedly installed on the outside of each of the two connecting pipes, and a sealing plate rotating inside the connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the output end of each of the two sealing motors.
[0012] Furthermore, two standing frames are fixedly installed on the top of the U-shaped frame, and a cylindrical frame is fixedly installed on the top of the two standing frames. The cylindrical frame is in the shape of an "∞" and the two storage cylinders are fixedly installed inside the cylindrical frame.
[0013] Furthermore, a battery compartment located above the drive gear is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame, and a storage battery is movably installed inside the battery compartment. The two throwing motors, the walking motor and the two sealing motors are all electrically connected to the storage battery. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a feeding device for rice-snail farming includes a rice paddy 1, a support frame 2 fixedly installed above the rice paddy 1, a driving structure on the top of the support frame 2, and a feeding and scattering structure outside the driving structure.
[0023] Specifically, the throwing and feeding structure includes horizontal plates 3 set on the left and right sides of the driving and walking structure. A connecting pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the top of each horizontal plate 3, extending to its bottom. A storage cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the top of each connecting pipe 4. A throwing hopper 301 fitted outside the connecting pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom of each horizontal plate 3. A feeding port is opened on the outer wall of each throwing hopper 301. The bottom of each throwing hopper 301 is designed with an arc. A throwing motor 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of each throwing hopper 301. A rotating rod 7 extending into the inside of each throwing hopper 301 is fixedly installed at the output end of each throwing motor 6. The two rotating rods 7 are rotatably installed inside the two throwing hoppers 301. Two rubber plates 8 are fixedly installed on the outside of each rotating rod 7. The two rubber plates 8 are symmetrically distributed about the rotating rod 7. The two connecting pipes 4 are located inside the two upper rubber plates 8.
[0024] The drive structure and the feeding structure are supported above the paddy field 1 by the installed support frame 2. The two storage cylinders 5 are used to store rice snail feed. The feed inside the two storage cylinders 5 can fall into the two feeding hoppers 301 through the two connecting pipes 4. Then, the feeding motor 6 on the right drives the rotating rod 7 and the two rubber plates 8 to rotate counterclockwise, which can scoop up the feed that has fallen into the feeding hopper 301 on the right and throw it out through the feeding port. At the same time, the feeding motor 6 on the left drives the rotating rod 7 and the two rubber plates 8 to rotate clockwise, which can scoop up the feed that has fallen into the feeding hopper 301 on the left and throw it out through the feeding port. Finally, the drive structure can move the feeding structure forward, thereby evenly scattering the feed into the paddy field 1.
[0025] Example 2, as Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 1, and its specific details are as follows:
[0026] The driving structure includes a top frame 9 fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2. A rack 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the top frame 9. A U-shaped frame 11 is sleeved on the outside of the top frame 9. Two horizontal plates 3 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 11 respectively. Two rotating rollers 12 are rotatably installed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 11, penetrating to its inner side. All four rotating rollers 12 slide on the top of the support frame 2. A walking motor 13 is fixedly installed on the right side of the U-shaped frame 11. A transmission rod 14 rotating inside the U-shaped frame 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the walking motor 13. An active gear 15 meshing with the top of the rack 10 is fixedly installed on the outside of the transmission rod 14.
[0027] With this configuration, the rack 10 is supported on the top of the support frame 2 by the top frame 9, and the slanted frame 11 is supported on the top of the support frame 2 by four rotating rollers 12. The driving motor 13 drives the external drive gear 15 of the transmission rod 14 to rotate forward and backward on the top of the rack 10, which can drive the slanted frame 11 to move back and forth. Then the slanted frame 11 drives the scattering and feeding structure to move synchronously.
[0028] Example 3, as Figures 4-5 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 1, and its specific details are as follows:
[0029] Both connecting pipes 4 are fixedly installed with sealing motors 16 on their exteriors, and both sealing motors 16 have sealing plates 17 that rotate inside the connecting pipes 4 fixedly installed at their output ends.
[0030] With this configuration, two sealing motors 16 drive two sealing plates 17 to rotate in opposite directions inside the two connecting pipes 4. A 90-degree rotation of the sealing plate 17 in the forward direction makes it perpendicular to the paddy field 1, and a 90-degree rotation in the reverse direction makes it parallel to the paddy field 1. When the sealing plate 17 is parallel to the paddy field 1, it can block the connecting pipe 4, preventing the feed inside the storage cylinder 5 from entering the throwing hopper 301. When the sealing plate 17 is perpendicular to the paddy field 1, the connecting pipe 4 is no longer blocked, and the feed inside the storage cylinder 5 can then fall normally into the throwing hopper 301.
[0031] Example 4, as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 2, and its specific details are as follows:
[0032] Two standing frames 18 are fixedly installed on the top of the U-shaped frame 11. A cylinder frame 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the two standing frames 18. The cylinder frame 19 is in the shape of "∞". Two storage cylinders 5 are fixedly installed inside the cylinder frame 19.
[0033] With this configuration, the cylinder frame 19 is supported and fixed on the top of the U-shaped frame 11 by two standing frames 18. The two standing frames 18 and the cylinder frame 19 work together to reinforce the two storage cylinders 5 above the U-shaped frame 11.
[0034] Example 5, as Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 3, and its specific details are as follows:
[0035] A battery compartment 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 11, located above the drive gear 15. A storage battery 21 is movably installed inside the battery compartment 20. Two throwing motors 6, a walking motor 13, and two sealing motors 16 are all electrically connected to the storage battery 21.
[0036] This configuration protects the external structure of the battery 21 through the installed battery compartment 20. The installed battery 21 can supply power to the two throwing motors 6, the walking motor 13, and the two sealing motors 16.
[0037] It should be noted that the battery 21 is removable. When the battery 21 is out of power, it can be directly removed for replacement or charging.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
