Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture equipment, and in particular to a drive mechanism for an automatic feeding vehicle for aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, traditional aquaculture generally uses outdoor fishponds, which can be natural ponds or dug ponds. Whether it's a fishpond, a rearing pond, or a container aquaculture system, feeding is an essential step. Common feeding equipment includes wind-powered or electric feeders, which work by scattering feed into the water. However, existing feeders are often fixed in location or inconvenient to move, making it difficult to distribute feed evenly. This is especially problematic for container aquaculture (or rearing pond aquaculture), where after feeding one container (or pond), it needs to be moved to the next location, which is very inconvenient.
[0003] Meanwhile, existing aquaculture feeding methods cannot achieve quantitative weighing and feeding. Therefore, existing feeding equipment needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as inconvenient feeding operation, lack of quantitative weighing, and poor performance. It provides a drive mechanism for an automatic feeding vehicle in aquaculture that enables mobile feeding, quantitative weighing, and good performance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a drive mechanism for an automatic feeding vehicle in aquaculture, comprising:
[0006] Guide rail rods are installed around the aquaculture pond;
[0007] A drive frame is provided, which is equipped with a drive guide wheel and an auxiliary guide wheel. Both the drive guide wheel and the auxiliary guide wheel are suspended from the guide rail and drive the drive frame to slide along the guide rail.
[0008] A weighing sensor, which is mounted on a drive frame.
[0009] The drive mechanism includes a guide rail and a drive frame. The guide rail is installed inside the aquaculture pond and is arranged around the pond. A drive guide wheel and an auxiliary guide wheel are mounted on the drive frame, both suspended from the guide rail. The drive guide wheel provides driving force, allowing the drive frame to slide along the guide rail. Simultaneously, a weighing sensor is installed on the drive frame to weigh the feed bin mounted at the lower end of the drive frame, thus enabling the drive mechanism to perform a weighing function.
[0010] Preferably, the drive frame is a frame structure constructed from welded profiles. The drive frame is equipped with a drive lifting seat and an auxiliary lifting seat. The weighing sensor is mounted on both the drive lifting seat and the auxiliary lifting seat. The drive guide wheel is mounted on the top of the drive lifting seat, and the auxiliary guide wheel is mounted on the top of the auxiliary lifting seat. Specifically, the drive frame is a frame structure constructed from welded square tubing profiles. The drive lifting seat and the auxiliary lifting seat are mounted on the drive frame, and the weighing sensor is mounted on both. Both the drive lifting seat and the auxiliary lifting seat are mounted on the top surface of the drive frame. The drive guide wheel is mounted on the drive lifting seat, and the auxiliary guide wheel is mounted on the auxiliary lifting seat. This lifting structure allows the installed weighing sensors to weigh the feed in the hopper, enabling the feeding vehicle to dispense feed quantitatively and improving the overall efficiency of the feeding vehicle.
