Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a feed mixing and feeding device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture refers to the production activities of raising aquatic plants and animals in waters or tidal flats. It is also known as fish breeding, rearing, and stocking. Aquaculture is the production activity of breeding, cultivating, and harvesting aquatic plants and animals under human control. It generally includes the entire process from seedling to marketable aquatic products under artificial rearing and management. In a broader sense, it can also include aquatic resource enhancement. Aquaculture includes extensive farming, intensive farming, and high-density intensive farming methods. Regardless of the method, regular feeding of the farming area is necessary to ensure an adequate food source for the farmed products.

[0003] Traditionally, feed needs to be thoroughly mixed before being placed in a water tank. This process is cumbersome and manual feeding is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address this, we have designed a feed mixing and feeding device for aquaculture. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feed mixing and feeding device for aquaculture to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A feed mixing and feeding device for aquaculture includes a base plate, a mixing tank, a fixed base, and a screw feeder. Support pillars are located at the four corners of the bottom of the mixing tank, with their bottom ends fixedly connected to the base plate. The screw feeder is located below the mixing tank, and an inlet cylinder is located on the upper right side of its outer surface. A discharge cylinder is located at the bottom of the mixing tank, and the inlet cylinder is fitted over the discharge cylinder. The fixed base is located at the lower left corner of the top of the base plate. A feeding trough is located on the top left side of the fixed base, and a receiving trough is located on the top right side of the fixed base. The left side of the feeding trough is open, and a first air bladder is located inside the feeding trough. The receiving trough is equipped with a second airbag, and the top of the feeding trough is equipped with an arc-shaped guide cover. The lower left side of the outer surface of the screw feeder is equipped with a guide tube, and the other end of the guide tube is connected to the rear side of the arc-shaped guide cover. The receiving trough is equipped with two vertical plates, and a lifting plate is slidably arranged between the two vertical plates. The bottom of the lifting plate is equipped with a counterweight block. The right side surface of the fixed base is equipped with a linear motion module along the vertical direction. The moving block of the linear motion module is fixedly connected to an electric push rod. The right side surface of the lifting plate is provided with an embedding groove into which the extended end of the electric push rod is embedded. The first airbag and the second airbag are connected by a connecting pipe.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the two vertical plates are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the second airbag, and two guide grooves are symmetrically opened on the sides of the two vertical plates that are close to each other. Guide sliders are slidably provided in the guide grooves, and the lifting plate is fixedly connected between the two guide sliders.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the electric actuator is horizontally arranged, and a support base is provided at the bottom of the electric actuator, which is fixedly installed on the moving block of the linear motion module.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the lower side of the outer surface of the screw feeder is provided with multiple legs, and the bottom end of the legs is fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the mixing tank is provided with a cylindrical mixing chamber inside, the bottom of the mixing chamber is shaped to be downward and narrowed and is connected to the feeding cylinder, the top of the mixing tank is provided with a mixing motor and a feeding hopper, the output shaft of the mixing motor passes through the mixing chamber and is connected to a rotating rod, multiple mixing rods are evenly provided on the outside of the rotating rod, and a spiral blade is connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod, and a solenoid valve is provided on the feeding cylinder.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the embedding groove is a vertical strip.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the rear surface of the arc-shaped guide cover is provided with a discharge port, which is connected to the guide inclined tube.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this device, feed is put into the mixing box from the feed hopper and the mixing motor is started. Multiple mixing rods are used to mix the feed to make it evenly mixed. Then, the screw feeder is started and the solenoid valve is opened, so that the evenly mixed feed is immediately conveyed to the guide pipe by the screw feeder. The feed falls onto the surface of the first airbag through the discharge port. Then, the electric push rod is controlled to retract, so that the extended end of the electric push rod separates from the embedded groove. Under the self-weight of the lifting plate and the counterweight, the counterweight falls rapidly downward and hits the second airbag. Then, the gas in the second airbag is quickly rushed into the first airbag through the connecting pipe, causing the first airbag to collide rapidly. This causes the feed on the surface of the first airbag to be ejected outward. The ejected material is guided by the arc-shaped guide cover and flies to the left side and is finally put into the water tank. Thus, the automatic mixing and automatic feeding functions are completed. In this device, the linear motion module controls the electric push rod to reciprocate up and down. When the electric push rod moves to its lowest position, it extends, and its extended end is inserted into the insertion slot. As the electric push rod rises, it drives the lifting plate and the counterweight to reset. As feed continues to fall onto the surface of the first air bladder, the increasing amount and weight of feed will flatten the first air bladder, causing the gas inside the first air bladder to return to the second air bladder, thus preparing for the next feeding operation. This cycle repeats, achieving continuous automatic feeding. The overall operation of this device is smooth and rapid, highly automated, and requires no manual operation, saving time and effort, greatly improving efficiency, and making it highly practical.

These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a fishery aquaculture feed mixing and feeding device includes a base plate 1, a mixing tank 3, a fixed base 12, and a screw feeder 7. Support columns 2 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom of the mixing tank 3, and the bottom ends of the support columns 2 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The screw feeder 7 is located below the mixing tank 3, and an inlet cylinder 21 is provided at the upper right end of the outer surface of the screw feeder 7. A discharge cylinder 22 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 3, and the inlet cylinder 21 is fitted onto the outside of the discharge cylinder 22. The fixed base 12 is located at the lower left corner of the top of the base plate 1. A feeding trough 9 is opened on the top left side of the fixed base 12, and a receiving groove 14 is opened on the top right side of the fixed base 12. The left side of the feeding trough 9 is open, and a first airbag 10 is provided inside the feeding trough 9. A second airbag 13 is provided inside the receiving groove 14. The top of the trough 9 is provided with an arc-shaped guide cover 11. The lower left side of the outer surface of the screw feeder 7 is provided with a guide pipe 16. The other end of the guide pipe 16 is connected to the rear side of the arc-shaped guide cover 11. The rear side surface of the arc-shaped guide cover 11 is provided with a discharge port 8. The discharge port 8 is connected to the guide pipe 16. The receiving trough 14 is provided with two vertical plates 19. A lifting plate 18 is slidably provided between the two vertical plates 19. The bottom of the lifting plate 18 is provided with a counterweight block 17. The right side surface of the fixed base 12 is provided with a linear motion module 15 in the vertical direction. The moving block of the linear motion module 15 is fixedly connected with an electric push rod 20. The right side surface of the lifting plate 18 is provided with an embedding groove 23 into which the extended end of the electric push rod 20 is embedded. The first airbag 10 and the second airbag 13 are connected by a connecting pipe 24.

[0023] Two vertical plates 19 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the second airbag 13. Two guide grooves 6 are symmetrically opened on the sides of the two vertical plates 19 that are close to each other. Guide sliders are slidably arranged in the guide grooves 6. The lifting plate 18 is fixedly connected between the two guide sliders.

[0024] The embedding groove 23 is a vertical strip. This design ensures that the extended end of the electric push rod 20 can be embedded in the embedding groove 23. As the electric push rod 20 rises, the extended end of the electric push rod 20 moves to abut against the upper end of the embedding groove 23, thereby driving the lifting plate 18 to move upward, which in turn drives the counterweight block 17 to move upward.

[0025] The electric actuator 20 is set horizontally, and a support base is provided at the bottom of the electric actuator 20. The support base is fixedly installed on the moving block of the linear motion module 15. The setting of the support base plays a role in reinforcing the installation and fixation of the electric actuator 20.

[0026] The screw feeder 7 has multiple legs on the lower side of its outer surface, and the bottom of the legs is fixedly connected to the base plate 1.

[0027] The mixing tank 3 has a cylindrical mixing chamber inside. The bottom of the mixing chamber is tapered downwards and connected to the feeding cylinder 22. The top of the mixing tank 3 is equipped with a mixing motor 4 and a feeding hopper 5. The output shaft of the mixing motor 4 passes through the mixing chamber and is connected to a rotating rod. Multiple mixing rods are evenly arranged on the outside of the rotating rod. The bottom end of the rotating rod is connected to a spiral blade. The feeding cylinder 22 is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0028] Specifically, when using this device, feed is put into the mixing box 3 from the feed hopper 5 and the mixing motor 4 is started. Multiple mixing rods are used to mix the feed to make it evenly mixed. Then, the screw feeder 7 is started and the solenoid valve is opened, so that the evenly mixed feed is immediately conveyed to the guide pipe 16 through the screw feeder 7. The feed falls onto the surface of the first air bag 10 through the discharge port 8. Then, the electric push rod 20 is controlled to retract, so that the extended end of the electric push rod 20 is separated from the embedded groove 23. Under the self-weight of the lifting plate 18 and the counterweight 17, the counterweight 17 falls rapidly downward and hits the second air bag 13. Then, the gas in the second air bag 13 is quickly rushed into the first air bag 10 through the connecting pipe 24, so that the first air bag 10 is quickly collided, and the feed on the surface of the first air bag 10 is ejected outward. The ejected material is guided by the arc-shaped guide cover 11, flies to the left side, and is finally put into the water pool. Thus, the automatic mixing and automatic feeding functions are completed.

[0029] In this device, the linear motion module 15 controls the electric push rod 20 to move up and down reciprocally. When the electric push rod 20 moves to its lowest position, it extends and its extended end is inserted into the embedding groove 23. As the electric push rod 20 rises, it drives the lifting plate 18 and the counterweight 17 to reset. As feed continues to fall onto the surface of the first airbag 10, the increasing amount and weight of feed will flatten the first airbag 10, causing the gas inside the first airbag 10 to return to the second airbag 13, thus preparing for the next feeding operation. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous automatic feeding. The overall operation of this device is smooth and rapid, with a high degree of automation. It does not require manual operation, saving time and effort, greatly improving efficiency, and is highly practical.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
