Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture, and more specifically, to an intelligent unmanned feeding vessel for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] An aquaculture feeding vessel is a specialized vessel used for distributing feed, fish fry, medicines, and other materials in aquaculture environments. It is primarily used in large-scale aquaculture operations in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and other bodies of water, enabling efficient and precise material delivery, saving labor costs, and improving aquaculture efficiency.

[0003] However, existing unmanned feeding vessels are easily affected by factors such as water flow and waves when navigating on the water surface, causing them to sway. This swaying may result in uneven distribution of feed within the hopper, causing some feed to accumulate in the corners of the hopper, thus affecting feed delivery. How to solve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an intelligent unmanned feeding vessel for aquaculture, which aims to solve the problem that existing feeding vessels are prone to accumulating feed in the corners of the feed bin due to factors such as water flow and waves during navigation, thus affecting feed delivery.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides an intelligent unmanned feeding vessel for aquaculture, including an intelligent unmanned vessel cabin, an electric swing wheel, and a feed bin. The electric swing wheel is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the intelligent unmanned vessel cabin, and the feed bin is fixedly connected to the top of the intelligent unmanned vessel cabin. The feed bin is equipped with a toggle component and a screening component.

[0007] The actuation assembly includes a motor, a rotating shaft, a fixed ring, a telescopic rod, an actuation plate, and an arc plate. The motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed bin, the rotating shaft is located inside the feed bin, the fixed ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the telescopic rod is installed on the outer wall of the fixed ring, the actuation plate is located inside the feed bin, and the arc plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the feed bin.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the feed bin and is connected to the output end of the motor.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor can drive the shaft to rotate through the output end after starting.

[0010] Preferably, the telescopic rod consists of a housing, a spring, and a movable rod. The housing is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed ring, the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the movable rod is disposed on the outside of the housing. One end of the movable rod penetrates the outer wall of the housing and extends into the inside of the housing. The outer wall of the movable rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing through which it is penetrated. The end of the movable rod extending into the housing is fixedly connected to the spring, and the end of the movable rod located outside the housing is fixedly connected to the arc plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during the rotation process, the movable rod can slide inside the outer shell and apply pressure to the spring, so that when the movable rod is unrestricted, the spring can push the movable rod to reset.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the actuating plate is connected to the telescopic rod, and the outer wall of the actuating plate abuts against the outer wall of the arc plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating shaft rotates, it can drive the agitator plate to move inside the feed bin through the fixed ring and telescopic rod, and agitate the feed. The presence of the arc plate can guide the feed and prevent the feed from accumulating in the corner and being unable to be discharged.

[0014] Preferably, the screening assembly includes an outer ring, a screening chamber, a discharge pipe, a limiting ring, a circular ring, and a second spring. The outer ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed chamber, the screening chamber is disposed on the outer wall of the outer ring, the discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screening chamber, the limiting ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screening chamber, the circular ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer ring, and the second spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular ring.

[0015] Preferably, the outer ring is slidably connected to the screening chamber, and the outer wall of the discharge pipe abuts against the outer wall of the actuating plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the screening bin can be installed on the outer wall of the outer ring by sliding. When the actuating plate rotates, the screening bin can be moved by the unloading pipe.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting ring abuts against the top of the outer ring, the ring and the spring are located inside the feed bin, and the outer wall of the ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed bin.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting ring can limit the screening chamber. When the screening chamber moves, the outer ring can drive the circular ring to move inside the feed chamber and apply pressure to the second spring, so that the second spring can push the screening chamber to reciprocate, thereby enabling the screening chamber to perform screening operations on the feed inside.

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

[0020] 1. After the feed is poured into the feed bin, the motor is controlled to rotate via a shaft and telescopic rod, causing the actuating plate to move and move the feed piled inside the feed bin. This ensures air circulation and prevents the feed from piling up, which would affect the feeding process. At the same time, the installation of arc-shaped plates inside the feed bin can guide the feed flow and prevent it from piling up in corners. This solves the problem that existing feeding boats are prone to feed piling up in corners of the feed bin due to factors such as water flow and waves, which affects the feeding process.

[0021] 2. When the actuating plate rotates, it will contact the outer wall of the discharge pipe and apply a pushing force to the discharge pipe, causing the discharge pipe to move the screening bin inside the feed bin and apply pressure to the second spring. When the actuating plate separates from the discharge pipe, the second spring will push the screening bin to reset, causing the screening bin to reciprocate and shake, thereby performing screening operations on the feed inside the auxiliary screening bin and improving the screening efficiency of the screening bin.

[0030] 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-6 A smart unmanned feeding vessel for aquaculture includes a smart unmanned vessel cabin 1, an electric swing wheel 2, and a feed bin 3. The electric swing wheel 2 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the smart unmanned vessel cabin 1, and the feed bin 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the smart unmanned vessel cabin 1. The feed bin 3 is equipped with a toggle component 4 and a screening component 5.

[0032] The actuating assembly 4 includes a motor 401, a rotating shaft 402, a fixing ring 403, a telescopic rod 404, an actuating plate 405, and an arc plate 406. The motor 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed hopper 3. The rotating shaft 402 is located inside the feed hopper 3, with one end penetrating the feed hopper 3 and connected to the output end of the motor 401. After the motor 401 is started, it can drive the rotating shaft 402 to rotate through its output end. The fixing ring 403 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 402, and the telescopic rod 404 is installed on the outer wall of the fixing ring 403. The agitator plate 405 is installed inside the feed bin 3. The outer wall of the agitator plate 405 is connected to the telescopic rod 404. When the rotating shaft 402 rotates, it can drive the agitator plate 405 to move inside the feed bin 3 through the fixing ring 403 and the telescopic rod 404, and agitate the feed. The arc plate 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the feed bin 3. The outer wall of the agitator plate 405 abuts against the outer wall of the arc plate 406. The presence of the arc plate 406 can guide the feed and prevent the feed from accumulating in the corner and not being able to be discharged.

[0033] The telescopic rod 404 consists of a housing 4041, a spring 4042, and a movable rod 4043. The housing 4041 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed ring 403, the spring 4042 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 4041, and the movable rod 4043 is located outside the housing 4041. One end of the movable rod 4043 penetrates the outer wall of the housing 4041 and extends into the interior of the housing 4041. The outer wall of the movable rod 4043 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 4041 through which it is penetrated. The end of the movable rod 4043 extending into the interior of the housing 4041 is fixedly connected to the spring 4042, and the end of the movable rod 4043 located outside the housing 4041 is fixedly connected to the arc plate 406. During rotation, the movable rod 4043 can slide inside the housing 4041 and apply pressure to the spring 4042, so that when the movable rod 4043 is unrestricted, the spring 4042 can push the movable rod 4043 to reset.

[0034] After the feed is poured into the feed bin 3, the motor 401 is controlled to rotate, which in turn drives the actuating plate 405 to rotate via the rotating shaft 402 and the telescopic rod 404. This actuating plate 405 moves the feed piled up inside the feed bin 3, ensuring air circulation inside the feed bin and preventing the feed from piling up and affecting the feed delivery. At the same time, the arc plate 406 installed inside the feed bin 3 can guide the feed flow and prevent the feed from piling up in the corners. This solves the problem that existing feeding boats are prone to piling up feed in the corners of the bin due to factors such as water flow and waves during navigation, which affects the feed delivery.

[0035] The screening assembly 5 includes an outer ring 501, a screening chamber 502, a discharge pipe 503, a limiting ring 504, a circular ring 505, and a spring 506. The outer ring 501 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper 3. The screening chamber 502 is disposed on the outer wall of the outer ring 501, and the outer ring 501 and the screening chamber 502 are slidably connected. The screening chamber 502 can be installed on the outer wall of the outer ring 501 by sliding. The discharge pipe 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screening chamber 502. The outer wall of the discharge pipe 503 abuts against the outer wall of the actuating plate 405. When the actuating plate 405 rotates, the screening chamber 502 can be moved by the discharge pipe 503. The limiting ring 504 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screening chamber 502. The bottom of the positioning ring 504 abuts against the top of the outer ring 501. The positioning ring 504 can limit the screening chamber 502. The circular ring 505 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer ring 501. The second spring 506 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular ring 505. The circular ring 505 and the second spring 506 are located inside the feed bin 3, and the outer wall of the circular ring 505 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed bin 3. When the screening chamber 502 moves, the outer ring 501 can drive the circular ring 505 to move inside the feed bin 3 and apply pressure to the second spring 506, so that the second spring 506 can push the screening chamber 502 to reciprocate, thereby enabling the screening chamber 502 to perform screening operations on the feed inside.

[0036] When the actuating plate 405 rotates, it contacts the outer wall of the discharge pipe 503 and applies a pushing force to the discharge pipe 503, causing the discharge pipe 503 to move the screening chamber 502 inside the feed bin 3 and apply pressure to the second spring 506. When the actuating plate 405 separates from the discharge pipe 503, the second spring 506 will push the screening chamber 502 to reset, causing the screening chamber 502 to reciprocate and shake, thereby enabling the auxiliary screening chamber 502 to perform screening operations on the feed inside, improving the screening efficiency of the screening chamber 502.

[0037] The working principle of this intelligent unmanned feeding vessel for aquaculture is as follows: Feed is fed into the screening bin 502, and the operation of the motor 401 is controlled. The motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate through the output end, so that the rotating shaft 402 drives the telescopic rod 404 to rotate through the fixed ring 403. Driven by the telescopic rod 404, the actuating plate 405 rotates inside the feed bin 3, and pushes the screening bin 502 to move through the unloading pipe 503, so that the screening bin 502 drives the circular ring 505 through the outer ring 501. The spring 506 is moved and pressure is applied to the second spring 506. When the actuating plate 405 separates from the discharge pipe 503, the second spring 506 will apply force to the outer ring 501 through the ring 505, causing the outer ring 501 to drive the screening chamber 502 to reset, thereby causing the screening chamber 502 to reciprocate and shake, and perform screening operation on the feed inside the screening chamber 502. The screened feed will fall into the feed bin 3 and flow under the action of the actuating plate 405, and be discharged through the discharge pipe inside the feed bin 3.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
