Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically a feeder for shrimp farming. Background Technology

[0002] In the shrimp farming industry, feeding is a crucial step. Traditional shrimp feeding methods mostly rely on manual scattering of feed, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the amount of feed. Overfeeding can easily lead to feed waste, increase farming costs, and at the same time, residual feed can pollute the water quality and affect the shrimp's living environment. Underfeeding, on the other hand, will result in slow shrimp growth and large individual differences.

[0003] While some existing shrimp farming feeders can achieve a certain degree of automated feeding, they have many problems. For example, feed is prone to clumping and blockage during storage and transportation, affecting the smoothness of feeding; some devices lack precise quantity control mechanisms and cannot adjust the feeding amount according to different growth stages of shrimp and actual feeding conditions; and some feeders are not effective in dispersing feed, making it difficult to ensure that shrimp groups feed evenly. Therefore, developing a shrimp farming feeder with automatic quantity control, anti-blockage, and efficient dispersion functions is of great significance for improving farming efficiency and ensuring the healthy growth of shrimp.

[0004] Publication No.: CN219047067U. This utility model provides a feeding platform for shrimp farming with a fixed-point feeder and a feeding mechanism. Before use, the feeding mechanism is placed around the edge of the pond, and the conveyor cable is horizontally supported by an L-shaped structure. Then, the transmission mechanism is sleeved on the outside of the conveyor cable, and the motor drives the active roller to rotate, thereby driving the entire feeding mechanism to convey feed outside the conveyor cable. Feed is added to the buffer hopper at regular intervals and in fixed quantities, thus realizing semi-automatic feeding of farmed shrimp at fixed times and points. This effectively solves the problem of the cumbersome process of repeatedly feeding shrimp in the existing shrimp farming process.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, traditional shrimp feeders are prone to problems such as food clumping, clogging of the discharge port, or uneven feeding. Therefore, we have proposed a shrimp feeder for shrimp farming. Utility Model Content

[0030] Structural Description: Feeding Port 1: The feeding port is funnel-shaped on the outside. This shape design facilitates the concentration and smooth falling of feed, making it easy for feed to enter the feeder. Its interior is hollow, providing space for feed storage and passage. A dust cover 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding port to prevent external dust, debris, etc. from entering the feeder and contaminating the feed. At the same time, a stirring rod 6 is rotatably connected inside the feeding port, and a motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top.

[0031] Dust cover 2: The top of the dust cover is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed inlet 1, and the bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying pipe 3. Its function is to further block external dust, moisture, etc., and protect the feed from moisture and deterioration. The bottom of the dust cover has holes to allow the mixed feed to fall smoothly into the conveying pipe 3.

[0032] Conveying pipe 3: The inside of the conveying pipe is hollow, which is the channel for the feed to be transferred from the feed inlet to the feed outlet. One end of the conveying pipe is equipped with a shell 4, and the conveying components are installed inside.

[0036] Rotating shaft 7: Evenly distributed on the outside of stirring rod 6, in the shape of a cylinder. When stirring rod 6 rotates, the rotating shaft contacts the feed and stirs it, keeping the feed in a loose state for easy feeding.

[0037] Motor 8: It is fixedly installed inside the housing 4, and its output end is fixedly connected to the support column 9. When the motor 8 is working, it drives the support column 9 and the spiral blade 10 to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of feed in the conveying pipe 3.

[0038] Support column 9: One end is fixedly connected to the output end of motor 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to a spiral blade 10. Driven by motor 8, the support column drives the spiral blade to rotate, pushing the feed to move in the conveying pipe 3.

[0039] Spiral blade 10: Fixedly connected to the outside of the support column 9, it rotates as the support column rotates. The shape and structure of the spiral blade are designed to effectively transport feed from one end of the conveying pipe 3 to the other end, and to the connecting pipe 11.

[0040] Connecting pipe 11: It is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveying pipe 3 and is an L-shaped pipe. One end of it is connected to the conveying pipe 3 to receive the feed transmitted from the conveying pipe, and the other end is connected to the discharge port 12. A blower is installed at the end connected to the discharge port. The feed is blown from the connecting pipe to the discharge port by the wind force of the blower.

[0041] The feed outlet 12 is fixedly connected to the flange at the bottom of the connecting pipe 11. The feed is evenly distributed to the breeding area through the feed outlet.

[0043] Dustproof net 14: It is a ring-shaped hollow net and is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of the discharge port 12. The dustproof net can prevent the feed from being blown out of the breeding area and block foreign objects from entering the discharge port to ensure the cleanliness of the feed. At the same time, the fan blade 15 connected inside rotates under the drive of motor 13, which helps to disperse the feed.

[0044] Fan blade 15: Rotatably connected inside the dustproof net 14, it rotates under the drive of motor 13. The airflow generated when the fan blade rotates can further disperse the feed at the outlet, making the feed more evenly distributed in the breeding area and improving the feeding effect.

[0045] Instructions for use

[0046] Feed enters the feeder through inlet 1. A dust cover 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of inlet 1 to prevent external impurities from entering. Motor 5 drives stirring rod 6 to rotate. The rotating shafts 7 evenly distributed on the outside of stirring rod 6 stir the feed to prevent clumping and ensure a loose state for smooth feeding. The bottom of stirring rod 6 is rotatably connected to the top of dust cover 2. The bottom of dust cover 2 has holes so that the stirred feed can fall smoothly into conveying pipe 3. Inside the outer shell 4 at one end of conveying pipe 3, motor 8 drives support column 9 and spiral blades 10 fixed to its outside to rotate. When spiral blades 10 rotate, they push the feed falling into conveying pipe 3 forward and transport it along conveying pipe 3 to connecting pipe 11. Connecting pipe 11 is an L-shaped pipe. One end is connected to the conveying pipe 3, and the other end is connected to a blower. When the blower is working, the wind generated blows the conveyed feed through the connecting pipe 11 to the discharge port 12. Under the action of the wind, the feed is evenly dispersed from the discharge port 12 to the breeding area to feed the shrimp. A dustproof net 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the discharge port 12 to prevent the feed from being blown out of the breeding area and wasting it, while blocking the entry of foreign objects. The motor 2 13 drives the fan blades 15 inside the dustproof net 14 to rotate. On the one hand, it helps to better disperse the feed and make the feed distribution more even. On the other hand, the airflow generated by the rotation of the fan blades helps to maintain ventilation at the discharge port, prevent the feed from accumulating and heating up at the discharge port and deteriorating, ensure the quality of the feed, and facilitate the healthy feeding of the shrimp.
