Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment, and in particular to a feeding device for integrated rice-loach farming. Background Technology

[0002] Rice-loach integrated farming is an ecological agricultural model that combines rice cultivation with loach farming, achieving diversified utilization of the farmland ecosystem and mutually beneficial symbiosis among organisms. This model has been widely used in countries and regions such as China, not only improving land utilization and economic benefits but also promoting environmental sustainability. Feeding is required during rice-loach integrated farming to ensure the growth rate and yield of the loaches in the rice paddies.

[0003] Currently, loach feed is usually provided manually. This not only increases the workload of workers, but also causes arm pain due to prolonged arm swinging. Furthermore, some existing feeding equipment has low precision in feeding amount. Overfeeding not only increases economic costs but also easily deteriorates the water quality of paddy fields, while underfeeding is not conducive to the rapid growth of loaches, making the existing feeding equipment impractical. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a rice-loach integrated farming feeding device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rice-loach integrated farming feeding device, comprising a support frame, a controller installed on the side surface of the support frame, a microprocessor and a timing module set in the controller, a feed cylinder fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, and a first electric push rod rotatably installed on the inner top of the support frame;

[0006] The feed cylinder is equipped with a guide hopper on its inner side, and a discharge hole for discharging feed is opened at the bottom front end of the feed cylinder. An intermittent motor is installed on the bottom end face of the feed cylinder.

[0007] Below the guide hopper, there is a circular plate with its upper and lower end faces respectively attached to the bottom end face of the guide hopper and the bottom of the inner side of the feed cylinder;

[0008] Below the discharge hole is a feeding hopper connected to the front end of the bottom of the feed cylinder, and the discharge hole and the inner side of the feeding hopper are in communication.

[0009] The circular plate has several annularly distributed conveying ports, which are used to guide and convey feed. The rear conveying port is connected to the inner bottom of the guide hopper, while the front conveying port is connected to the inner side of the discharge hole.

[0010] A feed dispensing component is provided below the feed hopper;

[0011] The top output shaft of the intermittent motor moves through the bottom end face of the feed cylinder and is connected to the middle of the bottom end face of the circular plate.

[0012] Preferably, an adjustment frame is installed inside the conveying port, and the adjustment frame is flush with the top surface of the circular plate.

[0013] Preferably, a roller is installed at each of the four ends of the bottom of the support frame.

[0014] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a U-shaped feeding frame disposed below the feeding hopper and rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame, and a rotating rod disposed below and in front of the U-shaped feeding frame and rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame. The inner rear end of the U-shaped feeding frame is rotatably connected to the bottom piston rod of the first electric push rod, and the front end of the U-shaped feeding frame extends movably into the inner side of the bowl-shaped feeding plate installed at the rear end of the rotating rod. A second electric push rod is disposed below the rotating rod and rotatably connected to the inner front end of the support frame. The top piston rod of the second electric push rod is rotatably connected to the bottom front end of the rotating rod.

[0015] Preferably, a power supply is provided inside the support frame, and the power supply is electrically connected to the first electric push rod, the second electric push rod, and the intermittent motor.

[0018] Preferably, a baffle is installed at the bottom of the front end face of the guide hopper, and the baffle is parallel to and attached to the top front end of the circular plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention features a circular plate, a conveying port, and a feeding component. A guide hopper directs loach feed into the output port, while an intermittent motor drives the circular plate and output port to rotate. When the output port aligns with the discharge port, the feed falls downwards into the feeding hopper, where it is then conveyed downwards.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a rice-loach integrated farming feeding device, including a support frame 1, a controller 2 installed on the side surface of the support frame 1, a microprocessor 3 and a timing module 20 set in the controller 2, and a feed cylinder 4 fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 1. The feed cylinder 4 is used to store granular feed for feeding loaches.

[0029] In this embodiment, a roller 18 is installed at each of the four ends of the bottom of the support frame 1, so that the feeding device can be moved as a whole by means of the rollers 18.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a first electric push rod 16 is rotatably mounted on the top inner side of the support frame 1;

[0031] The feed cylinder 4 is equipped with a guide hopper 5 that gradually narrows from top to bottom. The guide hopper 5 is used to guide and convey feed. The feed cylinder 4 has a discharge hole 6 at the bottom front end for discharging feed, and an intermittent motor 19 is locked and fixed at the bottom end face of the feed cylinder 4.

[0032] Below the guide hopper 5, there is a circular plate 7 with its upper and lower end faces respectively attached to the bottom end face of the guide hopper 5 and the bottom of the inner side of the feed cylinder 4. The circular plate 7 can rotate horizontally between the guide hopper 5 and the feed cylinder 4 to transport feed.

[0033] Below the discharge hole 6, there is a feeding hopper 12 that is locked and fixed to the bottom front end of the feed cylinder 4, and the discharge hole 6 and the inner side of the feeding hopper 12 are connected. The feeding hopper 12 is used to guide and convey the feed that falls into the discharge hole 6.

[0034] The circular plate 7 has several annularly distributed conveying ports 8. The conveying ports 8 are used to guide and convey feed. The rear conveying port 8 is connected to the inner bottom of the guide hopper 5, while the front conveying port 8 is connected to the inner side of the discharge hole 6. This facilitates the feed in the guide hopper 5 to fall into the rear conveying port 8, and also facilitates the downward discharge of the feed in the front conveying port 8 through the discharge hole 6.

[0035] A feeding component for feeding is provided below the feeding hopper 12;

[0036] The top output shaft of the intermittent motor 19 moves through the bottom end face of the feed cylinder 4 and is connected to the middle of the bottom end face of the circular plate 7, so that the circular plate 7 can be driven to rotate horizontally inside the feed cylinder 4 by the intermittent motor 19.

[0037] The inner width of the U-shaped feeding frame 13 is greater than the bottom outer diameter of the feeding hopper 12, which facilitates the stable dropping of feed from the plastic hopper 12 into the U-shaped feeding frame 13.

[0038] In this embodiment, an adjustment frame 9 is locked and fixed inside the conveying port 8. The adjustment frame 9 is flush with the top surface of the circular plate 7, which makes it easy to adjust the amount of feed in the conveying port 8 by replacing different adjustment frames 9.

[0039] In this embodiment, the feeding component includes an inclined U-shaped feeding frame 13 located below the feeding hopper 12 and rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame 1, and an inclined rotating rod 14 located in front of and below the U-shaped feeding frame 13 and rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame 1.

[0040] The inner rear end of the U-shaped feeding frame 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom piston rod of the first electric push rod 16, which facilitates the U-shaped feeding frame 13 to rotate in the support frame 1 and separate from the feeding plate 15 by the first electric push rod 16. The front end of the U-shaped feeding frame 13 extends into the inner side of the bowl-shaped feeding plate 15 installed at the rear end of the rotating rod 14, which facilitates the stable delivery of feed to the feeding plate 15.

[0041] Below the rotating rod 14 is a second electric push rod 17 that is rotatably connected to the inner front end of the support frame 1. The top piston rod of the second electric push rod 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom front end of the rotating rod 14, so that the feed in the feeding plate 15 can be thrown into the paddy field by driving the rotating rod 14 to rotate downward through the second electric push rod 17.

[0042] In this embodiment, a power supply 21 is provided inside the support frame 1. The power supply 21 is electrically connected to the first electric push rod 16, the second electric push rod 17 and the intermittent motor 19. The first electric push rod 16, the second electric push rod 17, the intermittent motor 19 and the power supply 21 are all electrically connected to the controller 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, a vibration motor 11 is installed at the front end of the guide hopper 5. The vibration motor 11 is electrically connected to the controller 2 and the power supply 21, which makes it easy to drive the guide hopper 5 and the granular feed to vibrate by controlling the vibration motor 11, thereby reducing the situation of feed blockage at the bottom of the guide hopper 5.

[0044] In this embodiment, a baffle 10 is installed at the bottom of the front end face of the guide hopper 5. The baffle 10 is parallel to the top front end of the circular plate 7, so that the baffle 10 can block the feed in the conveying port 8 and reduce the feed from being ejected from the conveying port due to vibration inside the guide hopper 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the intermittent motor 19 is a SANMOTION stepper motor, which has high precision and stability, and is convenient for controlling the stable intermittent rotation of the circular plate 7.

[0046] Specifically, the amount of feed conveyed at one time can be adjusted according to the actual feeding needs. This can be achieved by installing adjustment frames 9 of different thicknesses inside the conveying port 8. The actual size of the space inside the conveying port 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment frames 9 of different thicknesses, so as to convey different amounts of feed.

[0047] Then, the granular feed for the rice paddy loach is placed in the feed cylinder 4. The feed falls downward and is conveyed through the guide hopper 5 to the last conveying port 8. The intermittent motor 19 is started to drive the circular plate 7 to rotate intermittently. The circular plate 7 drives each conveying port 8 to rotate. The excess feed in the conveying port 8 is blocked by the guide hopper 5, so that the feed in the conveying port 8 is at most level with the top of the circular plate 7. When the conveying port 8 carrying feed rotates to the point of being connected to the inside of the discharge hole 6, the feed in the conveying port 8 falls downward under gravity and passes through the discharge hole 6 into the U-shaped feeding frame 13.

[0048] Next, the feed is conveyed through the U-shaped feeding frame 13 into the bowl-shaped feeding plate 15. During operation, the intermittent motor 19 sends data to the microprocessor 3 for analysis and processing. Based on preset algorithms or logical judgment conditions, when the microprocessor 3 determines that the conveying port 8 and the discharge port 6 are completely misaligned, the controller 2 controls the movable rod of the first electric push rod 16 to extend, causing the first electric push rod 16 to push the rear end of the U-shaped conveying frame 13 downwards while the front end rotates upwards to disengage from the feeding plate 15. Simultaneously, the controller controls the piston rod of the second electric push rod 17 to rapidly retract, causing the second electric push rod 17 to pull the front end of the rotating rod 14 downwards while the rear end rotates upwards. The rear end of the rotating rod 14 drives the feeding plate 15 to rotate upwards synchronously, throwing out the feed. Once inside the paddy field, the loach are fed. After the piston rod of the second electric push rod 17 completes a set of retraction and extension actions, the data is sent to the microprocessor 3 for analysis and processing. Then, the piston rod of the first electric push rod 16 is controlled to retract, causing the front end of the U-shaped feeding frame 13 to extend into the bowl-shaped feeding plate 15 again. At this time, the intermittent motor 19 drives the circular plate 7 and the conveying port 8 to continue rotating, conveying the feed into the feeding plate 15 again. During the feeding process, the rotation speed of the rotating rod 14 can be adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction speed of the piston rod of the second electric push rod 17. The faster the rotation speed of the rotating rod 14, the farther the feed is placed on the feeding plate 15, thus facilitating the feeding of loach in different locations in the paddy field.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
