Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a feeding device for Litopenaeus vannamei. Background Technology

[0002] Aquatic seed industry is the core of fisheries technology and the foundation for ensuring food security, food safety, and ecological security for aquatic products. Modern aquatic seed industry is an important material basis and core competitiveness for the green and high-quality development of aquaculture. The Pacific white shrimp, belonging to the class Crustacea, order Decapoda, suborder Nemesistrata, family Penaeidae, genus Litopenaeus, subgenus Litopenaeus, is one of the world's three major farmed shrimp species. It is a eurythermal and euryhaline shrimp, plump with thin shells, rich in nutrients, and delicious in taste, making it very popular. Pacific white shrimp are fed using feeding devices, but existing feeding devices for Pacific white shrimp farming have some drawbacks. For example, the internal environment of the feed storage tank is relatively humid due to environmental factors, leading to mold growth and even feed spoilage over time. Furthermore, the feeding distance cannot be adjusted, preventing more comprehensive feeding. Therefore, we propose a new feeding device for Pacific white shrimp farming. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding device for Litopenaeus vannamei farming, including a storage tank 1, a low-speed motor 6, a discharge channel 13, and an air pump 16;

[0026] A feed inlet 5 is provided at the center of the top left side of the storage tank 1. Feed can be added into the inner cavity of the storage tank 1 through the feed inlet 5. When no feeding is needed, the top of the feed inlet 5 can be covered by a matching sealing cover. A discharge pipe 11 is provided at the center of the bottom of the storage tank 1. An electromagnetic control valve 12 is provided on the discharge pipe 11. The feed in the storage tank 1 can be discharged through the discharge pipe 11. When the electromagnetic control valve 12 is opened, the feed will be discharged from the discharge pipe 11.

[0027] The low-speed motor 6 is located at the top center of the storage tank 1. The bottom of the low-speed motor 6 is provided with a motor shaft 7, and the bottom of the motor shaft 7 extends through and is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the storage tank 1. The bottom of the motor shaft 7 is connected to a transmission shaft 8, and the bottom of the transmission shaft 8 is provided with a spiral conveying blade 9. The low-speed motor 6 can drive the transmission shaft 8 to rotate through the motor shaft 7. When the transmission shaft 8 rotates, it will drive the spiral conveying blade 9 to rotate. In this way, the rotating spiral conveying blade 9 can quickly transfer the feed to the discharge pipe 11.

[0028] The discharge channel 13 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the discharge pipe 11. The bottom of the discharge pipe 11 is connected to the top of the discharge channel 13. The discharge port 14 is provided on the right side of the discharge channel 13. The feed in the discharge pipe 11 will fall into the discharge channel 13, and the feed in the discharge channel 13 will eventually be discharged from the discharge port 14.

[0029] A mounting plate 15 is provided on the top left side of the storage hopper 1. An air pump 16 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 15. An air outlet pipe 17 is provided at the bottom of the air pump 16. The end of the air outlet pipe 17 away from the air pump 16 is connected to the left side of the discharge channel 13. A regulating valve 18 is provided on the air outlet pipe 17. When the air pump 16 is turned on, the air pump 16 can blow air into the discharge channel 13 through the air outlet pipe 17, thereby blowing the feed inside out from the discharge port 14 and achieving the feeding effect. The airflow of the air outlet pipe 17 can be adjusted by the regulating valve 18 to change the spraying distance of the feed.

[0030] The rear end face of the storage hopper 1 is provided with a slot 19, and the rear end face of the slot 19 is provided with a matching cover plate 20. The front end face of the cover plate 20 is provided with a hollow basket 22, and the hollow basket 22 is filled with desiccant granules. The desiccant granules filled in the hollow basket 22 can effectively improve the internal environment of the storage hopper 1, reduce air humidity, and prevent feed from becoming moldy.

[0031] Preferably, the top of the hollow basket 22 is provided with an addition port, and the top of the hollow basket 22 is provided with a baffle 23. The left and right sides of the top rear end face of the baffle 23 are hinged to the cover plate 20 with hinges 25. The center of the top front face of the baffle 23 is provided with a groove 26. The baffle 23 can be opened through the groove 26, and then the desiccant particles in the hollow basket 22 can be replaced through the addition port.

[0032] Preferably, the length and width of the cover plate 20 are both greater than the length and width of the slot 19. The left and right sides of the cover plate 20 are provided with connecting holes 24 longitudinally. The left and right sides of the top of the rear end face of the storage bucket 1 are provided with fixing holes 21 that match the connecting holes 24. Matching bolts are installed between the connecting holes 24 and the fixing holes 21 at the same position. This arrangement makes it easy to disassemble the cover plate 20 so as to replace the desiccant particles in the hollow basket 22.

[0033] Preferably, an observation window 2 is provided in the middle of the front end face of the storage hopper 1, through which the amount of feed used in the storage hopper 1 can be easily observed. Support legs 3 are provided around the bottom of the storage hopper 1, and a fixing block 4 is provided at the bottom of each support leg 3. This arrangement can stably place the storage hopper 1 on the support surface and avoid shaking.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] Reference Figure 1-3 This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: a guide plate 10 is arranged around the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage tank 1, and a V-shaped discharge port matching the discharge pipe 11 is arranged at the center of the inner cavity of the storage tank 1. The cooperation between the guide plate 10 and the V-shaped discharge port can prevent feed from accumulating around the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage tank 1, and also play a guiding role, so that the feed flows into the discharge pipe 11; a fixing rod is arranged on the bottom left side of the storage tank 1 and the left side of the base, and a pipe clamp matching the air outlet pipe 17 is arranged on the end of the fixing rod away from the storage tank 1. The pipe clamp can effectively fix the air outlet pipe 17 and prevent it from falling off; the support legs 3 are fixedly welded to the storage tank 1. The welding method can not only increase the stability of the connection, but also effectively extend the service life. The top of the fixing block 4 is vertically threaded through the four sides, and the fixing block 4 can be fixed by bolts through the threaded holes, thereby fixing the entire feed feeding device.

[0036] All electrical appliances mentioned in this article are connected to an external power source via wires.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
