Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feed packaging, and in particular to a packaging device for ornamental fish feed. Background Technology

[0002] The final step in fish feed production is packaging the finished product. During packaging, the feed needs to be quantitatively dispensed to ensure a uniform net content in each bag. Typically, this is achieved using a solenoid valve controlled by its opening and closing mechanism. Opening the valve releases feed, while closing it stops the flow. A flow meter or weighing device is also used to determine the amount of feed in each bag, thus achieving quantitative dispensing. However, fish feed is in granular form, and the closing of the solenoid valve can easily crush and damage some of the granules, resulting in incomplete pellets and affecting product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ornamental fish feed packaging device to solve the problem that existing feed packaging devices easily damage the integrity of feed particles.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0024] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an ornamental fish feed dispensing device includes a hopper 2, a dispensing mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The hopper 2 is located above the dispensing mechanism, and the bottom of the hopper 2 is connected to the dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism includes a flexible baffle 3, an arc-shaped baffle 4, an adjusting base 5, and a partition frame 7. The partition frame 7 is slidably engaged with the adjusting base 5. The arc-shaped baffle 4 is located outside the partition frame 7 and wraps around it. The arc-shaped baffle 4 has a discharge port, and the flexible baffle 3 has a feed inlet. The flexible baffle 3 is located at the top of the partition frame 7. The flexible baffle 3, the partition frame 7, the adjusting base 5, and the arc-shaped baffle 4 cooperate with each other to form multiple receiving cavities.

[0025] The driving mechanism includes a rotating mechanism and an adjusting mechanism. The rotating mechanism is used to control the rotation of each receiving cavity, and the adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the volume in each receiving cavity, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the volume.

[0026] The partition frame 7 includes a central circular sleeve and multiple segmented plates evenly arranged in a ring around the sleeve. An adjusting base 5 is slidably disposed between two adjacent segmented plates. The feed inlet on the flexible baffle 3 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 2. The bottom of the hopper 2 has a through hole 201. The hopper 2 and the flexible baffle 3 are also connected by a sponge sealing gasket 11. When one of the receiving cavities on the partition frame 7 rotates to be directly below the through hole 201, the feed in the hopper 2 will enter the receiving cavity. Inside, the partition frame 7 is then controlled to rotate. When the partition frame 7 rotates, the dividing plate rotates to the edge of the through hole 201 below the through hole 201. Since the dividing plate and the sponge sealing gasket 11 cooperate, the pellet feed will not be crushed. Moreover, the flexible baffle 3 is also made of flexible material. When the feed pellets move between the flexible baffle 3 and the partition frame 7, they will not be crushed. This ensures that no broken material is generated during the entire feeding process, ensuring the integrity of the feed pellets after packaging, improving the quality of the feed, reducing waste caused by broken material, and lowering production costs.

[0027] Advantageously, the top of the adjusting base 5 is inclined, and the side of the adjusting base 5 closest to the arc-shaped baffle 4 is the lowest point of the inclined surface. At the discharge port, the inclined surface on the adjusting base 5 can ensure that the feed in the receiving cavity is completely discharged.

[0028] Furthermore, a feeding trough 6 is fixedly provided at the feeding port, through which the feed is guided into the packaging bag or packaging can for subsequent sealing.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a drive motor 10 and a rotating shaft 8. The stator of the drive motor 10 is fixed on the frame 1, and the motor shaft of the drive motor 10 is fixed to the rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 is also fixed to the partition frame 7. The drive motor 10 drives the partition frame 7 to rotate, thereby driving the adjusting base 5 between the partition frames 7 to rotate.

[0030] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting frame 9, a spring, and an electric telescopic rod 12. Multiple adjustment bases 5 are fixed on the same connecting frame 9. The connecting frame 9 is slidably engaged with the rotating shaft 8. The spring is provided at the other end of the connecting frame 9 and the rotating shaft 8. The electric telescopic rod 12 is located on the side of the connecting frame 9 away from the spring. The cylinder of the electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The telescopic rod of the electric telescopic rod 12 pushes the connecting frame 9, thereby controlling the sliding between the adjustment base 5 and the partition frame 7, achieving the effect of adjusting the size of the accommodating cavity.

[0031] The rotation of the partition frame 7 is controlled by a drive mechanism, enabling continuous dispensing from multiple compartments and improving dispensing efficiency. Simultaneously, the adjustment mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the compartment size to accommodate different feed sizes, further enhancing the equipment's versatility and flexibility. The equipment can adjust the compartment size according to different feed sizes, demonstrating strong adaptability and meeting the dispensing needs of various ornamental fish feed sizes. The entire dispensing process is highly automated, reducing manual operation, lowering labor intensity, and improving production efficiency.

[0032] Advantageously, a guide ring 13 is also fixed on the connecting frame 9. The guide ring 13 has an arc groove. The head of the telescopic rod of the electric telescopic rod 12 is provided with a ball. The electric telescopic rod 12 contacts the guide ring 13 through the ball, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the adjustment base 5 when rotating and improving the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0033] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
