Description

A type of lifting feeder for aquatic products Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, specifically relating to a lifting-type feeding machine for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are three main types of feeding machines used in aquaculture on the market: the first type uses a groove at the bottom of the feed cylinder for gravity-based material discharge; the second type uses a auger for horizontal discharge; and the third type uses a auger for lifting and discharging. However, these three methods have the following problems:

[0003] First, the feeding trays for the first and second discharge methods mentioned above must be installed below the feed cylinder. Since the discharge port is located at the bottom of the cylinder, if the feeder is placed on a boat for feeding, in order to scatter the feed, the feeder needs to be raised so that the discharge port is above the surface of the hull, or placed at the bow. This would cause the center of gravity of the entire feed cylinder to be higher than the hull, resulting in instability and a higher risk of capsizing when the boat is moving. Furthermore, because the discharge port is close to the water surface, it is difficult to scatter the feed over a long distance.

[0004] Second, the first discharge method, relying on gravity discharge, is difficult to allow large particles and irregularly shaped feeds such as fresh fish to fall smoothly. The second and third methods use auger conveyors, but due to friction and gaps between the auger and the conveying pipes, it is difficult to transport large particles with many impurities and irregularly shaped feeds such as fresh fish. Furthermore, feed easily adheres to the auger, causing jamming. To solve this problem, a mixing device needs to be added, which not only complicates the equipment structure but also reduces its reliability and operability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lifting-type feeder specifically for aquaculture, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies that require lifting the feeder, leading to instability of the vessel's center of gravity and easy jamming of irregular feeds such as large particles and frozen fish. To achieve the above objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lifting-type feeding machine for aquatic products includes a storage module, a feeding module, and a dispensing module. One end of the feeding module is installed at the bottom of the storage module, and the other end is installed at the top of the dispensing module. The dispensing module is installed on the upper right side of the storage module. The feeding module includes a feeding belt, feeding belt baffles, and a feeding motor. The feeding belt is rotatably installed between two rollers. Feeding baffles and infeed baffles are respectively installed on the side and bottom of the feeding belt. The feeding motor is installed below the infeed baffles, and the output shaft of the feeding motor is connected to the shaft end of the rollers via a belt. Multiple feeding belt baffles are evenly installed on the feeding belt.

[0007] Furthermore, the storage module includes a storage box and a frame. The storage box is installed on the frame. The storage box includes a left vertical box plate and a left sloping box plate connected to each other, as well as a right vertical box plate and a right sloping box plate connected to each other. The height of the left vertical box plate is greater than that of the right vertical box plate, the slope of the left sloping box plate is greater than that of the right sloping box plate, and the length of the left sloping box plate is less than that of the right sloping box plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a continuous through hole is provided at the middle position of the right vertical box plate and the right slope box plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the right vertical box plate and the right slope box plate are uniformly provided with circular or elliptical screw holes near the through holes.

[0010] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided on the outer side of the belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding module is installed on a continuous through hole opened at the middle position of the right vertical box plate and the right slope box plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the feeding belt is provided with fixing plates with screw holes on both sides.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding belt is provided with fixed plates with grooves on both sides, and multiple sliders are slidably arranged in the grooves.

[0014] Furthermore, a feeding baffle is installed on the top of the feeding belt, and the feeding baffle forms a cavity that opens only on one side near the feeding belt.

[0015] Furthermore, the feeding module includes a mounting plate, a feeding unit, and a feeding motor. The mounting plate is fixedly installed on the right side of the frame via a connecting plate. The feeding unit and the feeding motor are respectively installed on the top and bottom of the mounting plate. The feeding unit includes a feeding chamber with an external opening and a rotating disk installed inside the feeding chamber. The center of the rotating disk is connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor via a rotating shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the feeding chamber is provided with multiple feeding holes, and the feeding holes are located inside the cavity formed by the feeding baffle.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding hole is located above the rotating disk.

[0018] Furthermore, multiple material distribution plates are evenly arranged on the rotating disk.

[0019] Furthermore, the feeding chamber is a baffle and the feeding chamber is open on three external sides.

[0020] Furthermore, the feeding chamber has a curved outward opening with an angle of 30-180°.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the lifting-type feeder for aquatic products of this utility model has the following significant advantages:

[0022] Point 1: This invention solves the problem of excessively low discharge outlets in existing technologies by installing a feeding module between the storage module and the feeding module, and placing the feeding module on the upper right side of the storage module. When used on a ship, the feeding machine can be placed in the hold, as long as the discharge outlet is higher than the edge of the hold. This makes the feeding machine's center of gravity more stable during ship operation, reducing the risk of capsizing. Simultaneously, the curved, outward-opening feeding chamber and the higher discharge outlet result in a larger coverage area and significantly improved feeding efficiency.

[0023] Secondly, this utility model can easily feed irregular objects such as fresh fish and quicklime granules. The operation is easy and convenient. It can completely feed all the feed in the storage box into the feeding module. There is no situation where feed accumulates in the storage box and cannot be fed. It can also smoothly feed all the feed after feeding into the feeding module.

[0024] Point 3: This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to repair and maintain, and has no friction between the feeding belt and the feeding baffle, feeding baffle and feeding baffle. The feed is not easy to stick to the baffle or feeding belt. The feeding speed is stable, which can ensure continuous and uniform feeding of feed. The feeding efficiency is high, and there is no need for a complicated stirring device, so the performance is more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0045] 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.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-14. This utility model provides a technical solution: a lifting feeder for aquaculture, including a storage module 1, a feeding module 2, and a feeding module 3. One end of the feeding module 2 is installed at the bottom of the storage module 1, so that the feeding module 2 can completely feed all the feed in the storage module 1 into the feeding module 3, and there is no situation where the feed in the storage module 1 is accumulated and cannot be fed. The other end of the feeding module 2 is installed at the top of the feeding module 3, so that all the feed after feeding can be fed into the feeding module 3. The feeding module 3 is installed on the upper right side of the storage module 1.

[0047] The storage module 1 includes a storage box 101 and a frame 102. The storage box 101 is installed on the frame 102. The storage box 101 is irregularly shaped and includes a left vertical box plate 1011 and a left sloping box plate 1012 connected to each other, as well as a right vertical box plate 1013 and a right sloping box plate 1014 connected to each other. The height of the left vertical box plate 1011 is greater than that of the right vertical box plate 1013. The slope of the left sloping box plate 1012 is greater than that of the right sloping box plate 1014. The length of the left sloping box plate 1012 is less than that of the right sloping box plate 1014. A continuous through hole is provided in the middle of the right vertical box plate 1013 and the right sloping box plate 1014. This continuous through hole serves as the discharge port of the storage box 101. Circular or elliptical screw holes are evenly distributed near the through holes on the right vertical box plate 1013 and the right sloping box plate 1014. The aforementioned irregular shape of the storage box 101 results in a larger slope and shorter length on the left side, allowing the feed inside to enter the feeding module 2 at the bottom without resistance. Furthermore, the aforementioned irregular shape of the storage box 101 results in a smaller slope and longer length on the right side, making the feed feeding more stable and less prone to slippage during feeding by the feeding module 2.

[0048] The feeding module 2 includes a feeding belt 201, a feeding belt baffle 202, and a feeding motor 203. The feeding belt 201 is rotatably mounted between two rollers 204. A feeding baffle 205 and a feed baffle 206 are respectively installed on the side and bottom of the feeding belt 201. The feeding baffle 205 prevents the feed on the feeding belt 201 from leaking out from the side during the feeding process. The feeding motor 203 is installed below the feed baffle 206, and the output shaft of the feeding motor 203 is connected to the shaft end of the roller 204 via a belt. A protective cover 207 is provided on the outside of the belt to prevent the feed on the feeding belt 201 from spilling onto the belt and causing feeding failure. Multiple feed belt baffles 202 are evenly installed on the feed belt 201. The feed belt baffles 202 distribute the feed on the feed belt 201 between the feed belt baffles 202 to prevent the feed from slipping, thereby enabling feed to be fed at a larger angle, shortening the feeding distance, saving space, and increasing feeding efficiency.

[0049] The feeding module 2 is installed on the continuous through hole opened between the right vertical box plate 1013 and the right slope box plate 1014.

[0050] The feeding belt 201 has fixing plates 209 with screw holes on both sides. The feeding module 2 is fixedly installed on the through hole by bolts, screw holes on the fixing plates 209, and circular screw holes on the right vertical box plate 1013 and the right slope box plate 1014.

[0051] The feeding belt 201 is provided with fixing plates 209 with screw holes on both sides. The feeding module 2 is adjustablely installed on the through hole by bolts and screw holes on the fixing plates 209, as well as elliptical screw holes on the right vertical box plate 1013 and the right slope box plate 1014. By adjusting the position along the direction of the feeding belt 201 on the elliptical screw holes during installation, the relative position between the feeding module 2 and the storage bucket 101 is adjusted, so that the feed baffle 206 is located at the bottom of the through hole and wraps around the outer periphery of the discharge port.

[0052] The feeding belt 201 is provided with fixing plates 209 with sliding grooves 210 on both sides. Multiple sliders 211 are slidably arranged in the sliding grooves 210. The sliders 211 can slide up and down in the sliding grooves 210 along the direction of the feeding belt 201. The feeding module 2 is adjustablely installed on the through hole by bolts and screw holes on the sliders 211, as well as circular or elliptical screw holes on the right vertical box plate 1013 and the right slope box plate 1014. By adjusting the position along the direction of the feeding belt 201 on the elliptical screw hole or by sliding the sliders up and down in the sliding grooves 210 along the direction of the feeding belt 201 during installation, the relative position between the feeding module 2 and the storage bucket 101 can be adjusted so that the feed baffle 206 is located at the bottom of the through hole and wraps around the outer periphery of the discharge port.

[0053] Due to the different lengths, slopes, and through-hole designs of the storage bins 101, all through-hole positions constitute the discharge outlets of the storage bins 101. The feed in the storage bins 101 can fall directly to different positions on the feeding belt 201 according to the amount of feed, without leakage. Therefore, all the feed in the storage bins 101 can be completely fed into the feeding module 3, eliminating the situation where feed accumulates in the storage bins 101 and cannot be fed. Furthermore, the lifting efficiency is high, solving the problems of blockage and low efficiency caused by the need to lift feed from the bottom of the cylinder through an opening at the bottom of the auger elevator during auger lifting. A feeding baffle 208 is also installed on the top of the feeding belt 201. The feeding baffle 208 forms a cavity with an opening only near one side of the feeding belt. This cavity allows all the feed on the feeding belt 201 to fall into the feeding module 3, providing ample space and reducing the likelihood of blockage.

[0054] The feeding module 3 includes a mounting plate 301, a feeding unit, and a feeding motor 302. The mounting plate 301 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the frame 102 via a connecting plate 303, allowing for vertical adjustment. The feeding unit and the feeding motor 302 are respectively mounted on the top and bottom of the mounting plate 301. The feeding motor 302 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 301, allowing the entire upper space of the mounting plate 301 to receive feed falling from inside the feeding baffle 208, resulting in high feeding efficiency and reducing the risk of blockage. The feeding unit includes an externally open feeding chamber 304 and a rotating disk 305 installed inside the feeding chamber 304. The center of the rotating disk 305 is connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor 302 via a rotating shaft 306. The top of the feeding chamber 304 is provided with multiple feeding holes 307. The feeding hole 307 is located inside the cavity formed by the feeding baffle 208. The feeding hole 307 is located above the rotating disk 305. Multiple distribution plates 308 are evenly arranged on the rotating disk 305. The feeding cavity 304 is a baffle and the feeding cavity 304 is open to the outside on three sides, or the feeding cavity (304) is a curved opening to the outside with an opening angle of 30-180°. The feed falling inside the feeding baffle 208 enters the rotating disk 305 and distribution plates 308 inside the feeding cavity 304 through the feeding hole 307. The feeding motor 302 drives the rotating disk 305 to rotate, so that the feed on the rotating disk 305 and distribution plates 308 is thrown out from the feeding cavity 304 along the baffle or curved shape, thus feeding into the aquaculture pond. The feeding range is wide.

[0055] The inventors made the following three sets of comparative examples to compare the feeding effect of the feeding module in this utility model with the feeding effect of the third type of auger lifting module in the background art: the tilt angle of the feeding module of this utility model and the auger lifting module are both 45°, the vertical lifting height is both 0.5m, the feeding motor is both 895 motor, the speed of the feeding motor is both 4000 rpm, and the voltage is both 12V.

[0056] Comparative Example 1

[0057] The feeding module of this invention has the same output speed of the feeding motor as the auger lifting module. The feeding effect is compared, and the results are shown in the table below:

[0058] This utility model features a screw conveyor lifting module with a reduction ratio of 27:27, an output shaft speed of 148 rpm, a load power of 20W / 90W, a feed lifting capacity of 1.20 kg / min / 22.12 kg / min, and a power consumption of 0.278 kWh / 0.068 kWh per ton of feed lifted. surface

[0059] This shows that the lifting efficiency of the auger lifting module is greatly affected by the output shaft speed. A lower output shaft speed results in lower lifting efficiency because, while lifting the feed, the feed tends to move downwards along the spiral direction of the elevator due to its own gravity; increasing the speed is necessary to overcome this. However, this invention solves this problem by using a feed belt baffle on the feed belt. The lifting efficiency does not change significantly with the output shaft speed, allowing for more stable and effective control of the feeding speed.

[0060] Comparative Example 2

[0061] The feeding module of this utility model and the auger lifting module have the same output power of their feeding motors, and their feeding effects are compared. The results are shown in the table below:

[0062] This utility model features a screw conveyor lifting module with a reduction ratio of 950, an output shaft speed of 444 rpm (80 rpm), a load power of 40W, and a feed lifting capacity of 3.51 kg / min (12.01 kg / min). The power consumption is 0.19 kWh (0.056 kWh) per ton of feed lifted. surface

[0063] It can be seen that the power consumption of the auger lifting module for lifting the same weight is more than three times that of the feeding module of this utility model, and the efficiency is relatively low.

[0064] Comparative Example 3

[0065] The feeding module and the auger lifting module of this utility model are used to feed feed of different shapes, and the feeding effect is compared. The results are shown in the table below:

[0066] This utility model's auger lifting module feeding module has the following characteristics: no jamming of pellet feed during normal operation; occasional jamming of soybeans during normal operation; unable to operate normally without jamming; frequent jamming of calcium oxide pellets during normal operation; unable to operate normally without jamming; severe jamming of frozen fish during normal operation; unable to operate normally without jamming; normal operation... surface

[0067] It can be seen that due to friction and gaps between the auger and the lifting pipe, the auger lifting module has difficulty lifting objects with irregular shapes and many impurities, and often gets stuck. However, the present invention does not have the above problems.

[0068] 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.
