Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to an adjustable aquaculture feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture is the process of artificially controlling the reproduction, growth, and harvesting of aquatic organisms (fish, shellfish, shrimp, crabs, algae, etc.). It is an important industry for ensuring global food security and alleviating pressure on wild fishery resources.

[0003] In aquaculture, specialized feeding devices are needed to feed the farmed fish at regular intervals. However, existing feeding devices can only throw the feed in one place and cannot adjust the feeding position. The farmed fish will collide with each other due to competing for food, which can easily lead to injury or even death, resulting in significant damage. Therefore, an adjustable aquaculture feeding device is proposed. Utility Model Content

The scraper 9 scrapes the feed attached to the inner wall of the mixing tank 2 to avoid feed adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 2 and causing waste.

[0024] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a second drive motor 12 installed on one side of the rectangular shell 1. A second rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to one side of the rectangular shell 1 and fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor 12.

After stirring is completed, the third drive motor 21 drives the bidirectional screw to rotate. The bidirectional screw drives the baffles 22 to move away from each other and into the receiving cavity, allowing the feed to fall into the feeding pipe 6.

[0031] Meanwhile, the specific models and specifications of the first drive motor 7, the second drive motor 12, and the third drive motor 21 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation methods adopt the existing technology in this field, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model:

[0033] Feed is put into the mixing tank 2 through the feed inlet. Before feeding the fish, the first drive motor 7 drives the first rotating rod 8 to rotate. The first rotating rod 8 drives the mixing rod 3 to rotate. The mixing rod 3 mixes the feed in the mixing tank 2, breaks up the clumps of feed, and avoids clogging that affects the feeding of the fish.
