Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seahorse breeding technology, and more specifically to a seahorse breeding device with fixed-point and fixed-quantity feeding. Background Technology

[0002] Seahorses are a collective term for several small fish species in the family Syngnathidae of the order Syngnathiformes. They are small marine animals, ranging from 5 to 30 centimeters in length. They are named for their heads, which are curved at a near right angle to their bodies. The head is shaped like a horse's head and forms an angle with the body. The snout is long and tubular, the mouth is small, and there is one dorsal fin composed of fin rays. The eyes can move independently. Seahorses are slow-moving, but they are very efficient at catching fast-moving and elusive copepods.

[0003] The seahorse breeding device is a structure used in the artificial breeding of seahorses. The traditional seahorse breeding device is too complex, which increases the manufacturing and operating costs. In order to further improve the effect and reduce the operating costs, the inventors researched and proposed this solution. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a seahorse breeding device with fixed-point and fixed-quantity feeding in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A seahorse farming device with fixed-point and quantitative feeding includes a top panel, a feed storage shell, an inner bottom plate, a feeding plate, a feed trough, a feeding port, a feeding pipe, a drive unit, a power supply, and a floating plate. The top panel is threaded to the top of the feed storage shell, which is open at the top. The inner bottom plate is sealed inside the feed storage shell, and a feeding port is opened on the inner bottom plate. A feeding pipe is installed through the bottom of the feeding port. Multiple feeding plates are combined to equally divide the space inside the feed storage shell and form multiple feed troughs. The output end of the drive unit is connected to the feeding port, and a floating plate is installed on the side of the feed storage shell.

[0007] A preferred technical solution: The driving component is a motor, the power supply is a battery, and the battery is electrically connected to the motor through wires.

[0008] A preferred technical solution: The injection port is fan-shaped.

[0009] A preferred technical solution: A fluorescent layer is provided on the top surface of the top panel to facilitate the location of the breeding device at night.

[0010] A preferred technical solution: The outer end of the feeding plate is in contact with the inner surface of the feed storage shell.

[0011] A preferred technical solution: The bottom end of the feeding pipe extends into a feed storage shell.

[0012] A preferred technical solution: The floating board is made of foam.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention achieves quantitative feeding through a simple structure, has low operating costs, and can efficiently assist in the artificial breeding of seahorses. The feeding structure consists of multiple feeding plates, and each feed trough is equally separated in the feed storage shell, which facilitates the equal loading of feed after weighing, without affecting each other and preventing the feed from being too concentrated and causing blockage.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, this embodiment provides a seahorse farming device with fixed-point and quantitative feeding, including a top panel 1, a feed storage shell 2, an inner bottom plate 3, feeding plates 4, feed troughs 5, a feeding port 31, a feeding pipe 6, a driving component 7, a power supply 8, and a floating plate 9. The top panel 1 is threaded to the top of the feed storage shell 2, and the top of the feed storage shell 2 is an open opening. The inner bottom plate 3 is sealed inside the feed storage shell 2, and the feeding port 31 is opened on the inner bottom plate 3. The feeding pipe 6 is installed through the bottom end of the feeding port 31. Multiple feeding plates 4 are combined to equally divide the space inside the feed storage shell 2 and form multiple feed troughs 5. The output end of the driving component 7 is connected to the feeding plate, and the floating plate 9 is installed on the side end of the feed storage shell 2. The multiple feeding plates 4 are combined and installed to form a whole component, which can be driven by the driving component 7 to rotate synchronously.

[0023] Furthermore, the drive component 7 is a motor, and the power supply 8 is a battery, which is electrically connected to the motor via wires. Specifically, the motor can be a worm gear reducer motor with an encoder, which can control the rotation of the feed plate 4 to a fixed angle.

[0024] Furthermore, the delivery port 31 is fan-shaped.

[0025] Furthermore, a fluorescent layer 11 is provided on the top surface of the top panel 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer end of the feeding plate 4 is attached to the inner surface of the feed storage shell 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the bottom end of the feeding tube 6 extends into a feed storage shell 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the floating board 9 is made of foam.

[0029] In use, the seahorse breeding device is placed on the water surface. The floating plate 9 keeps the entire device afloat. A motor drives multiple feeding plates 4 to move, forming four feeding troughs 5. Three of these troughs are pre-filled with a measured amount of seahorse feed, while one serves as the feeding space. By controlling the motor to rotate the feeding plates 4 to a certain angle, the plates push the feed to the feeding port 31, from which it is then released into the water through the feeding pipe 6 for the seahorses to eat. To achieve targeted feeding, ropes can be used to confine the breeding device to the corresponding location on the water surface. The overall structure is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the performance is excellent.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a seahorse breeding device with fixed-point and quantitative feeding. Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further incorporates the following structure to improve the restraining effect on the feeding plate 4. An installation groove 103 is provided at the bottom end of the inner bottom plate 3. A limiting member 10 is slidably installed vertically on the installation groove 103. A spring 102 is connected to the bottom end of the limiting member 10, and inclined surfaces 101 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the limiting member 10. When the motor drives the feeding plate 4 to rotate a certain angle, the feeding plate 4 is restrained by the corresponding limiting member 10 until the motor drives it again. The bottom end of the feeding plate 4 cooperates with the inclined surfaces 101 on both sides of the limiting member 10, causing the limiting member 10 to press down on the spring 102 until the limiting member 10 is completely retracted into the installation groove 103, releasing the restraining state.
