Description

A quantitative feeder for a feeding trough Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a quantitative feeder for a feeding trough. Background Technology

[0002] Large-scale farming is a relatively new farming technology that has emerged in recent years. It mainly refers to a farming method that uses modern farming equipment to increase stocking density and efficiency. Among them, stacked cages are a relatively mature and widely used farming equipment. Stacked cages are mainly composed of stacked cage frames, feeders, and manure removers. The stacked cage frames serve as poultry rearing rooms, the feeders supply feed to the feed troughs outside the rearing rooms, and the manure removers clean up the manure that falls from each layer of the rearing room.

[0003] Feeders are generally divided into walking feeders and chain feeders. When using a chain feeder for feeding, it is usually driven by a sprocket and a chain, and then a feeder scraper is set on the chain. This type of chain feeder relies on the chain in terms of structure, that is, the chain and the feeder scraper are set separately, which increases the number of parts and manufacturing cost of the chain feeder. Moreover, the installation of the chain also limits the structure and space capacity of the feed trough. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quantitative feeder for feeding troughs, so as to solve the problems of high manufacturing cost due to the large number of components in existing chain feeders, and the fact that the installation of the chain also limits the structure and space capacity of the feed trough.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A quantitative feeder for a feeding trough includes a feeding trough located on an aquaculture device. The quantitative feeder is adapted to the feeding trough. The quantitative feeder includes a frame, a feeding bin, a motor, a dial wheel, a feed chain, and steering wheels. The chain groove on the frame is connected to the feeding trough and forms a closed passage. The feed chain is slidably installed in the chain groove and the feeding trough. The discharge end of the feeding bin is adapted to the chain groove or the feeding trough. The motor is installed on the frame. The dial wheel is installed on the power output shaft of the motor and meshes with the feed chain. A plurality of steering wheels are rotatably installed on the frame and are respectively adapted to the inner side of the corner of the feed chain.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the material feeding chain is composed of multiple conical plates that are interlocked end to end, with the head of the conical plate being higher than the tail.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the tapered plates have a gap that matches the external teeth of the dial wheel.

[0009] A further technical solution is that a positioning pad that slides in conjunction with the material leveling chain is provided in the chain groove.

[0010] A further technical solution is that a storage plate is provided inside the feeding trough.

[0011] A further technical solution is that a buffer leakage plate is provided inside the feeding hopper.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the surface of the steering wheel is concave.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model proposes a quantitative feeder for feeding troughs. This quantitative feeder is used for distributing and evenly distributing feed in the feeding troughs of aquaculture cages. It utilizes an electric motor to drive a dial wheel to directly rotate the feeder chain in the chain groove and feeding trough. The original structure of distributing and evenly distributing feed using a chain, sprocket, and scraper is changed to a structure where the dial wheel directly drives the feeder chain to achieve the functions of distributing and evenly distributing feed. The feeder chain integrates the functions of the original chain and scraper, reducing the use and assembly costs of equipment components. Attached Figure Description

[0028] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, this embodiment describes a quantitative feeder for a feeding trough, comprising a feeding trough 1 located on aquaculture equipment, and a quantitative feeder 2 adapted to the feeding trough 1. The quantitative feeder 2 includes a frame 3, a feeding bin 4, a motor 5, a dial wheel 6, a feed distribution chain 7, and steering wheels 8. The chain groove 9 on the frame 3 is connected to the feeding trough 1 and forms a closed passage. The feed distribution chain 7 is slidably installed in the chain groove 9 and the feeding trough 1. The discharge end of the feeding bin 4 is adapted to either the chain groove 9 or the feeding trough 1. The motor 5 is installed on the frame 3, and the dial wheel 6 is installed on the power output shaft of the motor 5 and meshes with the feed distribution chain 7. Multiple steering wheels 8 are rotatably installed on the frame 3 and are adapted to the inner side of the corner of the feed distribution chain 7, respectively.

[0029] Feed (or other pelleted feed) enters the chain trough 9 or feeding trough 1 from the feed bin 4. The motor 5 is started, driving the turntable 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding chain 7 to slide in the chain trough 9 and feeding trough 1. Feed concentrated at one point in the chain trough 9 or feeding trough 1 is carried away by the feeding chain 7, achieving the function of spreading and flattening the feed. The feeding chain 7 is redirected and limited by multiple steering wheels 8 during sliding. Example

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the material distribution chain 7 is composed of multiple conical plates 71 that are interlocked end to end, with the head of the conical plate 71 being higher than the tail.

[0031] Multiple conical plates 71 are interlocked end to end, which facilitates the assembly of the material distribution chain 7 and the replacement of damaged parts in the material distribution chain 7. The head of the conical plate 71 is higher than the tail to scrape the material, thereby realizing the functions of material distribution and material uniformity.

[0032] Preferably, the tapered plates 71 have a gap that matches the external teeth of the dial wheel 6.

[0033] The gap between the tapered plates 71 engages with the external teeth of the dial wheel 6, facilitating the operation of the dial wheel 6.

[0034] Preferably, as shown in FIG5, a positioning pad 10 is provided in the chain groove 9 to slide with the material leveling chain 7.

[0035] The protruding part at the bottom of the material distribution chain 7 slides on the groove on the positioning pad 10, which is used to restrict the material distribution chain 7 at the dial wheel 6, and also to press the material distribution chain 7 against the dial wheel 6 to ensure the meshing effect between the two.

[0036] Preferably, as shown in Figure 6, a storage plate 11 is provided in the feeding trough 1.

[0037] The storage plate 11 is L-shaped. The storage plate 11 in one feeding trough 1 is slightly higher than the feeding chain 7, and the storage plate 11 in the other feeding trough 1 is slightly closer to the feeding chain 7. The storage plate 11 can mainly retain some of the material for poultry to eat.

[0038] Preferably, as shown in Figure 6, a buffer discharge plate 12 is provided inside the discharge hopper 4.

[0039] The buffer plate 12 is used to buffer the material and allow it to pass through the chain trough 9 or the feeding trough 1.

[0040] Preferably, the wheel surface of the steering wheel 8 is concave.

[0041] The concave steering wheel 8 plays a role in preventing detachment when the material distribution chain 7 is running.

[0042] Although the present invention 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 the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
