Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of redclaw crayfish farming technology, specifically to a feed dispensing device for the industrialized farming of redclaw crayfish. Background Technology

[0002] Redclaw crayfish, named for the bright red color of its male claws, is a common ornamental and edible shrimp. It has the advantages of being undemanding in terms of growth environment and growing rapidly. However, the growth, reproduction, and survival of redclaw crayfish are significantly affected by temperature. Through intensive farming in greenhouses, redclaw crayfish can achieve high yields and high efficiency, making it suitable for promotion in most parts of my country.

[0003] In greenhouses, multiple breeding ponds are typically arranged side-by-side and share a central aisle to effectively utilize space. Some farmers currently use feed dispensing devices to feed multiple breeding ponds, thereby reducing manual labor intensity. However, since breeding ponds are generally rectangular and feed dispensing devices typically dispense feed at fixed points, uneven feed distribution can easily occur, leading to fights among redclaw crayfish over food. To address this issue, this invention proposes a feed dispensing device for the industrialized farming of redclaw crayfish. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the technical problem that some farmers reduce manual labor by using feed dispensing devices to feed multiple breeding ponds, but since breeding ponds are generally rectangular and feed dispensing devices typically dispense feed at fixed points, uneven feed distribution can easily occur, leading to fights among redclaw crayfish over food. This invention provides a feed dispensing device for the industrialized farming of redclaw crayfish.

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

[0006] A feed dispensing device for the industrialized farming of redclaw crayfish, comprising:

[0007] Multiple first guide rails are arranged in parallel, and each of the two ends of the first guide rails is connected to a bracket. The multiple first guide rails are connected to each other through second guide rails.

[0008] A feed hopper, wherein an inlet pipe is connected to the outside of the feed hopper, and an outlet is constructed at the bottom of the feed hopper, and a solenoid valve is installed at the outlet.

[0009] The walking assembly allows the feed bucket to move on either the first or second guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the walking assembly includes a sliding block fixedly connected to the top of the feed hopper, which slides in cooperation with the first guide rail and the second guide rail. The sliding block has a groove, in which a first gear is rotatably installed. Both ends of the groove are rotatably installed with drive wheels, which abut against or engage with the first guide rail or the second guide rail. A second gear that meshes with the first gear is coaxially connected to the drive wheel. A first motor is installed on the feed hopper to drive the first gear to rotate. A conversion part is provided at the connection between the first guide rail and the second guide rail, and the sliding block can switch between the first guide rail and the second guide rail through the conversion part.

[0011] Furthermore, the conversion unit includes an annular block, and the first guide rail and the second guide rail are both connected to the annular block. A circular plate is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the annular block. A sliding groove is provided on the circular plate, and a sliding block slides into the sliding groove. Adjacent circular plates are connected by a sprocket assembly. A mounting plate is connected to the top of one of the annular blocks, and a second motor is mounted on the top of the mounting plate. Its output end is coaxially connected to one of the circular plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the circular plate is constructed with an arc-shaped surface, and the inner side of the annular block is circularly distributed with limiting blocks, and the limiting blocks are constructed with an arc-shaped abutment surface that fits against the arc-shaped surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the feed bucket is equipped with a stirring mechanism for stirring the feed inside the feed bucket.

[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model provides a feed dispensing device for the industrialized farming of redclaw crayfish, comprising:

[0030] Multiple first guide rails 1 are arranged in parallel, with the same number as the side-by-side breeding ponds. The first guide rails 1 are located above the central axis of the breeding ponds and are parallel to each other. Each end of the first guide rail 1 is connected to a bracket 2. The first guide rail 1 is installed on both sides of the breeding pond through the bracket 2. Multiple first guide rails 1 are connected to each other through second guide rails 3. The second guide rails 3 are perpendicularly connected to multiple first guide rails 1.

[0031] Feed hopper 4 has an inlet pipe 5 connected to its outer side, through which feed can be added to feed hopper 4. Feed hopper 4 has an outlet 6 at its bottom, and a solenoid valve 7 is installed at the outlet 6. During the movement of feed hopper 4, the solenoid valve 7 can be opened, allowing the feed in feed hopper 4 to be discharged from the outlet 6 and fall into the breeding pond below. This design allows the feed to naturally scatter along the movement trajectory of feed hopper 4, resulting in a more even distribution compared to fixed-point feeding.

[0032] The walking assembly 8 allows the feed bucket 4 to move on either the first guide rail 1 or the second guide rail 3, enabling movement on the adjacent support 2 of the first guide rail 1.

[0033] When the feed hopper 4 moves on one of the first tracks, the solenoid valve 7 can be opened. At this time, the feed in the feed hopper 4 is discharged from the outlet 6 and evenly distributed into the breeding pond as the feed hopper 4 moves. That is, the first guide rail 1 is the feeding track. Then the solenoid valve 7 can be closed, and the feed hopper 4 can be moved to the second guide rail 3 by the walking component 8 and move towards another first guide rail 1. That is, the second guide rail 3 is the transfer track. Through the cooperation of the two, the feed hopper 4 can automatically switch between multiple breeding ponds by the walking component 8.

[0034] This utility model utilizes the cooperation of the first guide rail 1, feed bucket 4, walking component 8, and solenoid valve 7. When the feed bucket 4 moves on the first guide rail 1 via the walking component 8, the solenoid valve 7 can be opened. At this time, the feed can naturally scatter along the movement trajectory of the feed bucket 4, resulting in a more uniform distribution compared to fixed-point feeding. Subsequently, with the cooperation of the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 3, the feed bucket 4 can automatically switch between multiple breeding ponds via the walking component 8, thereby achieving a larger area coverage.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5-8 As shown, the specific structure of the walking component 8 of this utility model is disclosed. The walking component 8 includes a sliding block 801 fixedly connected to the top of the feed bucket 4, which slides in cooperation with the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 3. The sliding block 801 can slide on the first guide rail 1 or the second guide rail 3. A through groove 802 is constructed on the sliding block 801, such as... Figure 8As shown, the through groove 802 is horizontally oriented and extends through both sides of the sliding block 801. A first gear 803 is rotatably mounted inside the through groove 802, and drive wheels 804 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the through groove 802. Figure 8 As shown, a portion of each of the two drive wheels 804 extends out of the two slots of the through groove 802. The drive wheel 804 abuts against the first guide rail 1 or the second guide rail 3. A second gear 805, which meshes with the first gear 803, is coaxially connected to the drive wheel 804. A first motor 806 is installed on the feed hopper 4 to drive the first gear 803 to rotate. The first motor 806 is a hollow shaft motor. The first gear 803 is connected to the hollow shaft of the first motor 806. When the first gear 803 rotates, it can drive the drive wheel 804 to rotate through the second gear 805. At this time, the drive wheel 804 can move on the first guide rail 1 or the second guide rail 3 and drive the sliding block 801 to slide on the first guide rail 1 or the second guide rail 3. A conversion part 807 is provided at the connection between the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 3. The sliding block 801 can switch between the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 3 through the conversion part 807. The sliding block 801 can thus realize automatic switching between multiple breeding ponds.

[0036] like Figures 1-5 The specific structure of the conversion part 807 of this utility model is disclosed. The conversion part 807 includes an annular block 8071. The first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 3 are both connected to the annular block 8071. A circular plate 8072 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the annular block 8071. A sliding groove 8073 is provided on the circular plate 8072. The sliding groove 8073 is in the same plane as the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 3. The sliding block 801 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 8073. That is, when the sliding block 801 moves toward the annular block 8071, when the sliding block 801 disengages from the first guide rail 1, the sliding block 801 can enter the sliding groove 8073 that is aligned with the first guide rail 1. Then, the first motor 806 can be controlled to stop working, so that the drive wheel 804 stops rotating, and the sliding block 801 stops in the sliding groove 8073. Inside, the circular plate 8072 is driven to rotate, and the sliding groove 8073 is aligned with the second guide rail 3. The first motor 806 is controlled to work, driving the drive wheel 804 to rotate so that the sliding block 801 can enter the second guide rail 3. Adjacent circular plates 8072 are connected by a sprocket assembly 8074. The sprocket assembly 8074 includes a sprocket 80741 coaxially connected to the circular plate 8072. Adjacent sprockets 80741 are connected by a chain 80742. The top of one of the annular blocks 8071 is connected to a mounting plate 8075. The top of the mounting plate 8075 is equipped with a second motor 8076, the output end of which is coaxially connected to one of the circular plates 8072. With this design, when the second motor 8076 is working, multiple circular plates 8072 can be driven to rotate synchronously.

[0037] like Figure 4As shown, a further technical solution for the circular plate 8072 of this utility model is disclosed. The bottom of the circular plate 8072 is constructed with an arc-shaped surface 9. The inner side of the annular block 8071 is distributed with limiting blocks 10. The limiting blocks 10 are located below the circular plate 8072. The limiting blocks 10 are constructed with an arc-shaped abutment surface 11 that fits against the arc-shaped surface 9. The circular plate 8072 only starts to rotate after the sliding block 801 enters the sliding groove 8073. At this time, the circular plate 8072 needs to bear the weight of the feed bucket 4. This design can, on the one hand, protect the circular plate 8072 so that it is not easy to detach from the annular block 8071 when bearing the weight of the feed bucket 4. On the other hand, it makes the limiting block 10 and the arc-shaped surface 9 form a dynamic fit contact. With the help of lubricant, the frictional resistance of the circular plate 8072 during rotation can be reduced, while ensuring the stability of the circular plate 8072 during rotation.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention discloses a further technical solution for the feed bucket 4. The feed bucket 4 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 12 for stirring the feed inside the feed bucket 4. If the feed inside the feed bucket 4 accumulates and settles for a long time, the feed will harden, causing the feed to accumulate and block the discharge port 6. By stirring the feed with the stirring mechanism 12, this situation can be avoided.

[0039] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the specific structure of the stirring mechanism 12 of this utility model is disclosed. The stirring mechanism 12 includes an output rod 1201 rotatably installed inside the feed bucket 4. A stirring blade 1202 is installed at the bottom end of the output rod 1201. When the output rod 1201 rotates, the stirring blade 1202 can stir the feed inside the feed bucket 4. Its top end passes through the through groove 802 and is connected to the rotating shaft of the first gear 803. This design enables the stirring device to be linked with the walking component 8, so that the feed inside the feed bucket 4 can be stirred during the movement of the feed bucket 4.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the present invention discloses a further technical solution for the feed bucket 4. Both sides of the feed bucket 4 are connected to connecting plates 13, and cameras 14 are inclined at the opposite ends of the two connecting plates 13. The cameras 14 are wireless cameras. When the feed bucket 4 enters the first guide rail 1, the cameras 14 can capture the consumption of feed in the breeding pond. When there is a lot of residual feed, the opening time of the solenoid valve 7 can be shortened, thereby reducing the feeding. This design can effectively reduce the problem of feed waste.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, the present invention discloses a further technical solution for the feed bucket 4. A storage battery 15 is installed on the outside of the feed bucket 4. The first motor 806, the solenoid valve 7 and the camera 14 are all electrically connected to the storage battery 15. By adopting the above design, the feed bucket 4 of the present invention is freed from the constraints of wires, making it easier to move.

[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
