[0031] 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, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. 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. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-9 In this embodiment of the present invention, a RAS intelligent track feeding device includes a track and a hopper 1. A level gauge 5 is installed at the lower part of the hopper 1. The level gauge 5 detects whether the material in the hopper reaches the lowest or highest point. When the material reaches the lowest level, the timer alarm light will sound and the feeder will automatically return to the starting point and replenish the material through the automatic feeder. When the fish feed in the hopper is replenished to the highest level, the alarm light will sound, and then the automatic feeder will stop feeding. The feeder will continue to feed according to the previously set program. Vibrating hammers 3 are installed on both sides of the hopper 1. The vibrating hammers 3 are activated by timer or switch to strike and vibrate the side wall of the hopper, making the material discharge from the hopper smoother and preventing the discharge port from being blocked due to excessive material. A moving device 9 that cooperates with the track is installed at the top of the hopper 1, and a discharge transmission device 4 is installed at the bottom of the hopper 1. A discharge rotation device 18 is installed at the discharge point of the discharge transmission device 4. A proximity switch 10 is installed on the moving device 9. Proximity switch baffles are welded at the starting point and the ending point of the track. When the proximity switch reaches the baffle, it will detect the signal and provide feedback.

[0033] The hopper 1 is used to store fish food; the hopper 1 consists of a feed bin and a conical feeding device. The conical feeding device can break up the fish food during feeding to prevent the fish food from clumping together and causing the outlet to be blocked.

[0034] An electrical box 19 and a protective cover 21 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the hopper 1. An air compressor 6, an air tank 7, and an oil-water separator 8 are installed inside the protective cover 21. The air compressor 6 compresses air into the air tank; the air tank 7 stores gas and provides gas to the cylinder, the vibrating hammer, and the air nozzle; the oil-water separator 8 is used to remove moisture, oil, and other impurities from the compressed air, so that the compressed gas is initially purified. It has an adjustment valve at the top, which can be adjusted by pulling it up and rotating it left and right. It also has a pressure sensor that will alarm when the pressure is too low. A camera 20 is installed on one side of the hopper 1, which can remotely observe the feeding of the feeder and the feeding of the fish in real time. The hopper 1 is also equipped with an instrument panel 12, an alarm light 13, a pressure sensor and a solenoid valve. The pressure sensor detects the gas pressure and transmits the signal to the PLC. The solenoid valve receives the signal from the PLC to control the opening and closing of the gas valve. The top of the hopper 1 is provided with a feed inlet 16, which has a 63 flange. Fish feed is poured into the hopper through this inlet. The seamless current collector 17 slides in contact with the track through the current collector brush, directly conducting electrical energy to the electrical appliances, thereby realizing the mobile power supply of the system, which is safer and has a simple structure, and is easy to install and maintain. A meter counter 11 is installed on the track of the hopper 1. The meter counter 11 records the mileage traveled and transmits the signal to the instrument panel. The instrument panel 12 receives the signal from the meter counter and displays the distance traveled by the feeder.

[0035] A water quality detection probe assembly 2 is installed on one side of the feed hopper 1. The water quality detection probe assembly 2 consists of a water quality detection probe and a cylinder. The cylinder drives the water quality detection probe to rise and fall. The water quality detection probe assembly 2 is composed of a water quality detection probe and a cylinder. The top of the cylinder is connected to the water quality detection probe. According to a programmed sequence, the cylinder extends and retracts periodically to immerse the probe in the fishpond water, thereby detecting the water's pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, and conductivity. This allows aquaculture personnel to monitor the water quality at all times.

[0036] The discharge transmission device 4 includes a first drive assembly 41, a conveying chamber 42, a baffle cylinder 43, and a baffle 44. The conveying chamber 42 includes a chamber body 421, a conveying screw 422, and a transmission gear 423. The conveying screw 422 is rotatably mounted on the chamber body 421, and the transmission gear 423 is mounted on one end of the conveying screw 422. The first drive assembly 41, which drives the transmission gear 423, is mounted on one side of the conveying chamber. A baffle 44 is installed at the discharge port of the chamber body 421, and the baffle 44 is driven by the baffle cylinder 43. When the motor of the discharge transmission device 4 is turned on, it drives the screw to rotate, conveying the fish food to the discharge port. Then, the cylinder is activated, which moves the discharge port baffle to open the discharge port. The fish food falls through the discharge port onto the feeding turntable below. The transmission process uses a screw, and the output power of the motor is changed by a frequency converter, thereby adjusting the screw speed and precisely controlling the feed rate per minute of the feeder.

[0037] The discharge rotating device 18 consists of a discharge pipe 181, a rotating cylinder 182, and a rotating disk 183. The rotating disk 183 is located at the discharge port of the discharge pipe 181 and is driven by the rotating cylinder 182. The discharge pipe 181 is equipped with an air nozzle 184. The discharge rotating device 18 drives the lower turntable to rotate through the rotating cylinder, scattering the fish feed into the fish pond. This allows the fish feed to enter the fish pond in a larger and more dispersed manner, making it easier for the fish to eat. The air nozzle 184 is activated after the feeding is finished to blow the remaining feed on the turntable into the fish pond, preventing it from falling into the channel during the process.

[0038] The mobile device 9 includes a bracket with a rotating shaft mounted on it. The rotating shaft is driven by a second drive assembly 91, and two drive gears 92 are mounted on the rotating shaft. The bracket has a driven gear 93 that meshes with the drive gears 92. A drive rubber wheel 94 is disposed inside the driven gear 93, and an auxiliary rubber wheel 95 is mounted on the bracket. The mobile device 9 adopts a dual-wheel drive, which provides better stability and greater friction, preventing the feeder from shifting to one side when operating with a single wheel and avoiding wheel slippage due to insufficient friction when running at the arc-shaped position of the guide rail. Furthermore, the drive wheel is made of rubber, which has a higher coefficient of friction, a longer service life, and generates less noise. The feeder can be moved in either the forward or reverse direction by rotating the motor.

[0039] like Figures 10-13 An automatic feeding device 22 includes a funnel hopper 221, a third drive assembly 222, a feeding pipe 223, a screw 224, and a feeding pipe 225. The screw 224 is installed inside the feeding pipe 223 and is driven by the third drive assembly 222. The funnel hopper 221 is located at the lower part of the feeding pipe 223, and the feeding pipe 225 is located at the upper part. The device is composed of the funnel hopper, the third drive assembly, and the screw. The funnel hopper is conical to facilitate bait sinking. When the bait sinks into the feeding pipe, the reducer drives the screw to rotate, spiraling the bait upwards. Upon reaching the upper outlet, the bait passes through the feeding pipe to the top inlet of the feeder. A conveying funnel is installed at the top inlet of the feeder to facilitate bait delivery to the feeder's hopper.

[0040] The track, constructed of I-beams, is evenly fixed above all the fishponds. The collector trough is tightly connected to the track via bent fasteners, ensuring stable power supply for system movement. Proximity switch baffles are welded to the starting and ending points of the channel steel. During the feeder's self-learning operation, the meter counter calculates the distance traveled from the starting point to the ending point, which is then set as the total distance of the channel steel. The distance corresponding to each fishpond is input into the PLC touchscreen panel. While the feeder is running, the meter counter transmits the traveled distance signal back. When a specific fishpond number is selected for feeding, the feeder automatically stops and begins feeding when it reaches the corresponding distance for that fishpond.

[0041] The track is also equipped with two pairs of proximity switch baffles and anti-collision blocks, one for each direction. When the feeder moves clockwise or counterclockwise, if the proximity switches malfunction, we can control the feeder to stop via limit switches. If the limit switches also malfunction, there are anti-collision blocks, providing three levels of protection. This reduces damage to the feeder caused by malfunctions.

[0042] After the device is started, the motor of the moving device begins to move, driving the rotating wheel assembly to rotate. The feeder then moves along the track. When it reaches the corresponding distance set for the fishpond to be fed, the motor stops, and the feeder stops moving. Then, the vibrating hammer starts to hammer the side wall of the hopper, vibrating to break up the feed in the hopper and better allow it to fall into the discharge conveyor. Then, the motor in the discharge transmission device starts to move, driving the screw to rotate at a calculated speed, transmitting the fish feed in the hopper to the discharge port. At the same time, the cylinder extends and moves the discharge port baffle away, allowing the fish feed to enter the throwing disc through the discharge port. The throwing disc then starts to rotate, scattering the fish feed 360° into the fishpond. After the input time is up, the motor stops, the screw stops rotating, the cylinder retracts, and the discharge port baffle moves back to block the discharge port. Then, the rotating cylinder stops the throwing disc from rotating, and the air nozzle starts to blow the remaining fish feed onto the throwing disc, causing it to fall into the fishpond. During operation, the water quality detection device can be activated. Once activated, the cylinder extends, and the water quality detection probe on the top of the cylinder is inserted into the fishpond to detect the water condition and send the information back to the PLC.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
