Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding device, and more particularly to an automatic feeding device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic feeding devices for aquaculture are automated equipment used to achieve precise and efficient feeding, primarily in aquaculture settings such as fish ponds and shrimp ponds. Their core function is to deliver feed at set times and in measured quantities through mechanical or intelligent control, reducing manual operation, improving feeding uniformity, and minimizing feed waste. Furthermore, the feeding range and frequency can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the aquaculture operations.

[0003] The feeding position of ordinary feeding devices is usually fixed, making it difficult to adjust the feeding range according to the actual situation such as the distribution of fish and the size of the water area; when the activity range of fish changes, it is impossible to feed accurately, resulting in insufficient feed in some areas and waste of feed in other areas.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the technical knowledge of the utility model owner and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for aquaculture.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an automatic feeding device for aquaculture, including a fixed frame:

[0007] The fixing frame is connected to the base plate via a transverse movement mechanism;

[0008] Both sides of the base plate are fixedly provided with extension frame plates, and both extension frame plates are provided with strip slots. The interior of the two strip slots is slidably connected to the corresponding feeding boxes. One end of one side of each feeding box is fixedly provided with a connecting seat. One side of each connecting seat is hinged with a connecting plate. One end of one side of each connecting plate is rotatably connected to one end of both sides of the transfer plate. An L-shaped bracket is fixedly provided on the back of the base plate. A servo motor is fixedly provided on the L-shaped bracket. The output end of the servo motor passes through the base plate and is fixedly connected to the middle position of the other side of the transfer plate.

[0009] In one example, a feed inlet is provided on one side of the top of the feeding box, and the top of the feed inlet is connected to the opening of the feeding cylinder. The inner walls of the two feeding boxes are rotatably connected to the two ends of the corresponding spiral feeding shaft. A geared motor is fixedly provided at one end of each of the two feeding boxes, and the output end of the two geared motors is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding spiral feeding shaft.

[0010] In one example, both of the feeding boxes have a feeding opening on one side of their bottom ends.

[0011] In one example, the lateral movement mechanism includes two slide rods fixedly mounted on one side of the fixed frame. The two slide rods are interlocked with the base plate. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly mounted at the middle position on one side of the fixed frame. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped bracket.

[0012] In one example, a limiting plate is fixed to one end of each of the two slide rods.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model proposes an automatic feeding device for aquaculture, including a fixed frame 1:

[0024] The fixing frame 1 is connected to the base plate 4 via a transverse movement mechanism;

[0025] Both sides of the base plate 4 are fixedly provided with extension frame plates 5. Each of the two extension frame plates 5 is provided with a strip-shaped slot 7. The interior of the two strip-shaped slots 7 is slidably connected to the corresponding feeding box 6. One end of each of the two feeding boxes 6 is fixedly provided with a connecting seat 10. One side of each of the two connecting seats 10 is hinged with a connecting plate 14. One end of each of the two connecting plates 14 is rotatably connected to one end of each side of the transfer plate 8. An L-shaped bracket 15 is fixedly provided on the back of the base plate 4. A servo motor 16 is fixedly provided on the L-shaped bracket 15. The output end of the servo motor 16 passes through the base plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the middle position of the other side of the transfer plate 8.

[0026] Specifically, a feed inlet is provided on one side of the top of the feeding box 6, and the top of the feed inlet is connected to the opening of the feeding cylinder 12. The inner walls of the two feeding boxes 6 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the corresponding spiral feeding shaft 9. A reduction motor 11 is fixedly provided at one end of each of the two feeding boxes 6, and the output ends of the two reduction motors 11 are fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding spiral feeding shaft 9.

[0027] Specifically, each of the two feeding boxes 6 has a feeding opening 13 on one side of its bottom end.

[0028] Specifically, the transverse movement mechanism includes two sliding rods 2 fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame 1. The two sliding rods 2 are inserted and connected to the base plate 4. An electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly installed at the middle position on one side of the fixed frame 1. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped bracket 15.

[0029] Specifically, a limiting plate 17 is fixedly provided at one end of each of the two sliding rods 2.

[0030] Specifically, a switch panel is fixedly provided on the back of the fixing frame 1. A servo motor switch, a geared motor switch, and an electric telescopic rod switch are respectively fixedly provided on the surface of the switch panel. The servo motor 16, the geared motor 11, and the electric telescopic rod 3 are electrically connected to an external power supply through the servo motor switch, the geared motor switch, and the electric telescopic rod switch, respectively.

[0031] Working principle: Extended support plates 5 are provided on both sides of the base plate 4, with strip-shaped slots 7 on them. Two feeding boxes 6 are slidably installed in the strip-shaped slots 7. Each feeding box 6 has a connecting seat 10 on one side.

When the servo motor 16 is started, its output end passes through the base plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the transfer plate 8, driving the transfer plate 8 to rotate. The rotation of the transfer plate 8 drives the two connecting plates 14 to rotate, thereby causing the two feeding boxes 6 to slide towards or away from each other in the strip-shaped slots 7, achieving the following functions. Approaching each other: The feeding openings 13 at the bottom of the two feeding boxes 6 are brought together, which is suitable for scenarios where fish are densely packed or where feeding is concentrated; Moving away from each other: The feeding openings 13 are moved further apart, which is suitable for scenarios where the water is open and fish are widely distributed; By changing the rotation angle and direction of the servo motor 16, the distance between the feeding openings can be dynamically adjusted to enhance the adaptability of the device. The two reduction motors 11 are started, and their output ends are fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding spiral feeding shaft 9. The spiral feeding shaft 9 starts to rotate and transport feed under the drive of the reduction motor 11, pushing the feed from inside the feeding box 6 to the bottom feeding opening 13 to achieve quantitative feeding. The feed falls to the water surface through the feeding opening 13, thus completing one feeding process.
