[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 A mixing and feeding device for marine aquaculture includes a base plate 1. Two support rods 2 are fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1. A top funnel 4 is rotatably arranged between the two support rods 2. A conical hopper 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top funnel 4. A motor assembly is installed inside the top funnel 4. A pushing structure is installed inside the conical hopper 3. The pushing structure is connected to the motor assembly. When marine aquaculture is needed, feed is poured into the top funnel 4. The motor assembly mixes the feed. After mixing, the feed continues to fall downwards. The pushing structure pushes the material downwards, and finally the feed is discharged for aquaculture operation.
[0023] Furthermore, bottom rectangular blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the top funnel 4 at the positions corresponding to the support rods 2. A horizontal shaft is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two support rods 2, and the horizontal shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom rectangular blocks 11.
[0024] Furthermore, a handle 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the top funnel 4. The base plate 1 of this device is installed on the movable support equipment, and then the handle 8 is pulled to adjust the tilt angle of the conical hopper 3 and adjust the discharge position of the conical hopper 3.
[0025] Furthermore, the motor assembly includes a connecting block 5, a circular mounting block 6, a motor 7, and a stirring structure. Multiple sets of connecting blocks 5 are equidistantly installed at the circular holes at the bottom of the top funnel 4. A circular mounting block 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting block 5. A motor 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the circular mounting block 6. The output shaft of the motor 7 passes through one end of the circular mounting block 6 and is fixedly installed with the stirring structure.
[0026] Furthermore, the stirring structure includes a rotating rod 9 and multiple sets of stirring rods 10 mounted on the side of the rotating rod 9. The output shaft of the motor 7 is connected to the rotating rod 9. When feed is injected into the top funnel 4, the feed passes through the gaps between the multiple sets of circular mounting blocks 6 and falls into the conical hopper 3. Then the motor 7 starts, driving the rotating rod 9 to rotate, and then the stirring rods 10 stir the feed.
[0027] Furthermore, a circular block 12 is fixedly installed inside the conical hopper 3 corresponding to the bottom of the rotating rod 9. Multiple sets of leakage holes 13 are equally spaced on the circular block 12. When feed is injected, the clumps of feed will be blocked by the circular block 12, and the evenly mixed feed will continue to fall downward through the leakage holes 13.
[0028] Furthermore, the pushing structure includes a rotating shaft 14 and a pushing block 15 integrally formed on the outside of the rotating shaft 14. The pushing block 15 is spirally arranged. One end of the rotating rod 9 passes through the circular block 12, and the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating rod 9. When the feed falls downward and contacts the pushing block 15, the pushing block 15 pushes the feed out.
[0029] Working principle: When feed is injected into the top funnel 4, the feed passes through the gaps between multiple sets of circular mounting blocks 6 and falls into the conical hopper 3. Then the motor 7 starts, driving the rotating rod 9 to rotate. Then the stirring rod 10 stirs the feed. After the feed is injected, the clumps of feed will be blocked by the circular blocks 12. The evenly stirred feed will continue to fall downward through the hole 13. When the feed falls downward and comes into contact with the pushing block 15, the pushing block 15 pushes the feed out.
[0030] Structural Description:
[0031] Base plate 1
[0032] The base plate 1 is the basic support component of the entire feeder. It is fixedly installed on a movable load-bearing device and plays a role in stabilizing and supporting the entire device, ensuring that the feeder is in a stable state during operation, and providing a solid foundation for the installation and operation of other components.
[0033] Support rod 2
[0034] There are two support rods 2, which are fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1. Their main function is to provide support and a base for rotation for the top funnel 4. By rotating with the bottom rectangular block 11 at the bottom of the top funnel 4, the top funnel 4 can rotate flexibly between the two support rods 2 to adjust the discharge position.
[0035] Conical bucket 3
[0036] The conical hopper 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top funnel 4 and is conical in shape. Its function is to collect the feed falling from the top funnel 4 and guide the feed towards the discharge port. At the same time, its interior is equipped with a pushing structure including a rotating shaft 14 and a pushing block 15 to facilitate pushing the feed out.
[0037] Top funnel 4
[0038] The top funnel 4 is the feed inlet, used to receive the poured feed. The bottom rectangular blocks 11 on both sides are rotatably connected to the transverse shaft on the support rod 2, allowing the top funnel 4 to rotate around the shaft. A handle 8 is also installed on one side, allowing the operator to pull the handle 8 to adjust the tilt angle of the top funnel 4 and the conical hopper 3, thereby changing the discharge position.
[0039] Connecting block 5
[0040] Multiple sets of connecting blocks 5 are equidistantly installed at the circular holes at the bottom of the top funnel 4. Their main function is to fix the circular mounting blocks 6 to the bottom of the top funnel 4, providing support for the installation of the motor assembly, including the motor 7, the circular mounting blocks 6, etc., and ensuring the stable operation of the motor assembly.
[0041] Circular mounting block 6
[0042] The circular mounting block 6 is fixed to the end of the connecting block 5 and serves as the mounting platform for the motor 7. It not only provides a stable mounting position for the motor 7, but also creates gaps between itself and other circular mounting blocks 6 during the feed's descent, allowing the feed to pass smoothly through these gaps into the conical hopper 3.
[0043] Motor 7
[0044] The motor 7 is fixedly mounted on the top of the circular mounting block 6 and is the power source for the entire mixing and pushing process. After the motor 7 is started, its output shaft drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate, thereby driving the mixing structure (including the rotating rod 9 and the mixing rod 10) and the pushing structure (including the rotating shaft 14 and the pushing block 15) to work, realizing the functions of mixing and pushing the feed.
[0045] Handle 8
[0046] The handle 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the top funnel 4. The operator can change the tilt angle of the top funnel 4 and the conical hopper 3 by pulling the handle 8, thereby adjusting the discharge position of the conical hopper 3 to meet different feeding needs.
[0047] Rotating rod 9
[0048] The rotating rod 9 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 7 and serves as the transmission component for the stirring and pushing structures. The motor 7 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 10 mounted on its side to stir the feed. At the same time, one end of the rotating rod 9 passes through the circular block 12 and connects to the rotating shaft 14, transmitting power to the pushing structure.
[0049] Stirring rod 10
[0050] Multiple sets of stirring rods 10 are installed on the side of the rotating rod 9. When the rotating rod 9 is driven by the motor 7 to rotate, the stirring rods 10 rotate accordingly, stirring the feed in the top funnel 4 and the conical hopper 3, so that the feed is mixed evenly, improving the quality and feedability of the feed.
[0051] Bottom rectangular block 11
[0052] The bottom rectangular block 11 is fixedly installed on the two sides of the bottom of the top funnel 4 at the positions corresponding to the support rods 2. By rotating with the horizontal axis on the support rods 2, the top funnel 4 can rotate between the support rods 2, which makes it possible to adjust the discharge position and ensures that the device can flexibly adapt to different feeding scenarios.
[0053] 12 circular blocks
[0054] A circular block 12 is fixedly installed inside the conical hopper 3 at the bottom corresponding to the rotating rod 9, and multiple sets of perforations 13 are equally spaced on it. The function of the circular block 12 is to block clumps of feed, allowing only well-mixed feed to continue falling downwards through the perforations 13, thus screening and controlling the fall of feed and ensuring the quality of feed entering the pushing structure.
[0055] Leakage hole 13
[0056] The orifice 13 is located on the circular block 12 and serves as a channel for the evenly mixed feed to fall downwards. Only feed that meets the requirements and can pass through the orifice 13 can continue to fall, contact the pushing structure including the rotating shaft 14 and the pushing block 15, and be pushed out, thus achieving precise feeding.
[0057] Rotating shaft 14
[0058] The rotating shaft 14 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod 9 and rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 9. It is an important component of the pushing structure, providing rotational power to the pushing block 15, enabling the pushing block 15 to push the feed out along a spiral trajectory.
[0059] Push Block 15
[0060] The pusher block 15 is integrally formed on the outside of the rotating shaft 14 and is arranged in a spiral shape. When the feed falls downward and comes into contact with the pusher block 15, the pusher block 15 pushes the feed out along the spiral trajectory as the rotating shaft 14 rotates, completing the feed discharge process and realizing the feeding operation of seafood.
[0061] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
