Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish farming technology, and in particular to a mixing and feeding device for fish feed. Background Technology

[0002] When raising fish, aquaculture farmers often need to feed them. If they only feed them a single type of feed, some nutrients will not be provided, which is not conducive to the growth of the fish. Therefore, it is necessary to feed them two or more types of feed to promote their growth.

[0003] A search of existing published literature revealed that patent publication number CN209436038U discloses a fish feed mixing and granulation feeding device, including a feeding machine body. One end of the plate-shaped shell of the feeding machine body is fixedly connected to an air injection pipe, and the other end is an open end. A rotating blade device is installed inside the circular plate-shaped shell of the feeding machine body. A control box is connected to the side of the circular plate-shaped shell of the feeding machine body facing the open end of the plate-shaped shell. The control box contains an adjustment device. A cylindrical pressure box and a cylindrical storage box are installed at the upper end of the plate-shaped shell of the feeding machine body. This invention, through a simple design of the rotating blade device and the adjustment device, achieves the purpose of continuously spraying airflow from the open end of the plate-shaped shell of the feeding machine body, spraying fish feed out of the inner cavity of the plate-shaped shell of the feeding machine body, saving a lot of manpower and resources, and improving the economic efficiency of fish farming. However, this fish feed mixing and granulation feeding device still has the following drawbacks:

[0004] Although this fish feed mixing and pelleting feeding device can spray out the fish feed from the inner cavity of the plate-shaped shell of the main body of the feeder, saving a lot of manpower and resources, it lacks a mechanism to control the feeding speed at the feed inlet. If too much fish feed is added at one time, it will easily affect the mixing effect and make it difficult to mix evenly. If too little fish feed is added, it will need to be added repeatedly, which increases manual intervention and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

A support frame 2 is provided on the outside of the tank body 1 to provide support.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the gear transmission mechanism includes a first servo motor 4, a pinion 41, and a large gear 42. The first servo motor 4 is located on the outside of the tank body 1. The pinion 41 is connected to the output shaft of the first servo motor 4. A rectangular hole is opened on the outside of the tank body 1. The large gear 42 is sleeved on the outside of the measuring disc 8. The large gear 42 meshes with the pinion 41, and the pinion 41 transmits power to the large gear 42 through the rectangular hole.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the belt drive mechanism includes a driven wheel 5, a second servo motor 51, a drive wheel 52, and a belt 53. The second servo motor 51 is located on the outside of the tank body 1. The output shaft of the second servo motor 51 is connected to the drive wheel 52. The belt 53 is sleeved on the outside of the drive wheel 52. The driven wheel 5 is located on the top of the tank body 1.
