Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber farming technology, and in particular to a feeding device for sea cucumber farming cages. Background Technology
[0002] Feeding is a crucial step in sea cucumber farming. However, existing feeding methods in sea cucumber farming cages have many shortcomings.
[0003] On the one hand, traditional feeding methods mostly involve manually throwing feed directly. This method is not only labor-intensive, but also results in uneven feeding. Due to the large area of the net cage, it is difficult to ensure that the feed is evenly distributed in the net cage by manual throwing. As a result, some sea cucumbers cannot get enough feed, while some areas have excess feed. This causes feed waste, and the excess feed decomposes in the water and pollutes the water quality, affecting the growth environment of sea cucumbers.
[0004] On the other hand, some existing automatic feeding devices have poor adaptability. The sea cucumber farming environment is complex, and there are differences in water flow speed, water temperature, net cage depth and other conditions in different farming areas. Existing automatic feeding devices often cannot flexibly adjust the feeding amount and feeding range according to these actual conditions, making it difficult to meet the growth needs of sea cucumbers and affecting farming efficiency.
[0005] In addition, traditional feeding devices have problems with feed preservation and anti-clogging; feed is prone to moisture and spoilage during storage, affecting feed quality. Moreover, during feeding, uneven feed particle size or impurities can easily cause clogging of the feeding equipment, affecting the continuity and stability of feeding. Utility Model Content

[0026] When using this utility model, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the feeding rack 4 is first installed inside the sea cucumber farming cage using multiple mounting brackets 5.
