Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture, and in particular to an adjustable aquaculture feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture is a production activity involving the breeding, cultivation, and harvesting of aquatic plants and animals under human control. It generally includes the entire process from seedling to marketable aquatic products under artificial rearing and management.

[0003] When using existing aquaculture feeding machines, due to the large area of ​​aquaculture, multiple feedings are required. After feeding once, feed needs to be added manually to the feeding hopper. To complete the feeding of the aquaculture area, the aquaculture personnel need to continuously scoop feed from the collection box into the feeding hopper, which is not convenient to operate. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an adjustable aquaculture feeder, which aims to improve the problem that aquaculture workers need to constantly scoop feed from the collection box into the feeding hopper.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable aquaculture feeder includes a body with casters fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom. A support base is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the body, and a storage bin is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base. A lid is placed on top of the storage bin. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the body via a shaft, and a feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod. A groove is formed in the bottom wall of the body, and a feeding component is installed in the groove. The feeding component is used to drive the feeding hopper to rotate and feed the feed. A discharge component is installed below the support base.

[0007] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a slider, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute, and a pull rod is rotatably connected to the top of the slider via a shaft, the top end of which is rotatably connected to a connecting rod via a shaft.

[0008] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider, and the end of the spring away from the slider is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding assembly further includes two sets of fixed seats, which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the machine body, and rotating wheels are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the two sets of fixed seats via shafts.

[0010] Preferably, a driver is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the fixed seats. The driving end of the driver is fixedly connected to the shaft of the rotating wheel. The surface of the rotating wheel is provided with several threaded grooves. The internal threads of the several threaded grooves are connected to extrusion rods of different lengths. The extrusion rods are provided in various ways according to their different lengths.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding chamber, a second driver, and a slide rail. The slide rail is coaxially arranged with the feeding chamber. The protrusion of the slide rail is located in the upper area of ​​the feeding hopper. The top of the feeding chamber is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the support base. The top of the second driver is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base. The driving end of the second driver is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the feeding chamber.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom wall of the feeding chamber is provided with a discharge port, the bottom opening of the storage barrel is located on the rotation trajectory of the discharge port, the bottom of the discharge port is fixedly connected to a feeding box, the bottom of the feeding box is slidably connected to a baffle, and the slide rail is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support base.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the slide rail is slidably connected to a sliding member, and the outer wall of the sliding member is rotatably connected to a connecting member via a shaft. The outer wall of the connecting member is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the drive unit drives the rotating wheel to rotate. The rotation of the rotating wheel causes the extrusion rod to rotate, pushing the slider to slide and compressing the spring. When the extrusion rod disengages from the slider, the spring's rebound force pushes the slider to slide. The sliding slider pushes the connecting rod and the feeding hopper to rotate through the pull rod, thereby throwing the feed to the farm.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the second driver drives the support base to rotate. When the discharge port rotates to the mouth of the barrel, the bait inside the storage barrel falls into the feeding box. At this time, the baffle blocks the feeding box through the restriction of the connecting piece to prevent the bait from falling. The second driver drives the support base to rotate until the feeding box rotates to the feeding hopper. The distance between the sliding piece and the feeding box increases, thereby pulling the baffle to slide outward through the connecting piece to open the feeding box, so that the bait falls into the feeding hopper to complete the automatic feeding.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 The present invention provides an embodiment of an adjustable aquaculture feeder, comprising a body 1, with movable wheels fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the body 1, a support base 2 fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the body 1, a storage bin 3 fixedly connected to the surface of the support base 2, a bin lid covering the top of the storage bin 3, a connecting rod 4 rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the body 1 via a shaft, a feeding hopper 5 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 4, a sliding groove 6 provided on the bottom wall of the body 1, a feeding component 7 installed in the sliding groove 6, the feeding component 7 being used to drive the feeding hopper 5 to rotate and feed, a feeding component 8 installed below the support base 2, and a controller fixedly connected to the outer wall of the body 1, the controller being electrically connected to a driver 76 and a driver 82;

[0026] Specifically, the feed is placed in the storage bin 3 after the lid is opened, and the feed is then transported to the feeding hopper 5 by the feeding component 8. The feeding component 7 drives the feeding hopper 5 to rotate and throw the feed to the farm, thus realizing automated feeding and reducing the feeding work of the farmers.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4 The feeding assembly 7 includes a slider 71, the outer wall of the slider 71 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute 6, the top of the slider 71 is rotatably connected to a pull rod 72 via a shaft, the top of the pull rod 72 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 4 via a shaft, and a spring 73 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 71, with the end of the spring 73 away from the slider 71 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the chute 6.

[0028] Specifically, the position of the slider 71 is restricted by the elastic force of the spring 73, so that the opening of the feeding hopper 5 remains upward.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4 The feeding assembly 7 also includes two sets of fixed seats 74, which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the machine body 1. The opposite sides of the two sets of fixed seats 74 are rotatably connected to rotating wheels 75 via shafts. One set of fixed seats 74 is fixedly connected to a driver 76 on its outer wall. The driving end of the driver 76 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the rotating wheel 75. The surface of the rotating wheel 75 is provided with several threaded grooves 78. The internal threads of the several threaded grooves 78 are connected to extrusion rods 77 of different lengths. The extrusion rods 77 are provided in various ways depending on their length.

[0030] Specifically, during feeding, the driver 76 drives the rotating wheel 75 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating wheel 75 causes the extrusion rod 77 to rotate, pushing the slider 71 to slide and compressing the spring 73. When the extrusion rod 77 disengages from the slider 71, the rebound force of the spring 73 pushes the slider 71 to slide. The sliding of the slider 71 pushes the connecting rod 4 and the feeding hopper 5 to rotate via the pull rod 72, thereby throwing the feed into the aquaculture area. Furthermore, by installing extrusion rods 77 of different lengths, the slider 71 can disengage from the extrusion rod 77 at different sliding distances, causing changes in the compression amplitude of the spring 73. This also changes the throwing force of the feeding hopper 5, thereby adjusting the feeding area.

[0031] Reference Figure 5The feeding assembly 8 includes a feeding chamber 81, a second driver 82, and a slide rail 87. The slide rail 87 is circular in shape, and its surface is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion. The slide rail 87 is coaxially arranged with the feeding chamber 81. The protrusion of the slide rail 87 is located in the upper area of ​​the feeding hopper 5. The top of the feeding chamber 81 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the support base 2. The top of the second driver 82 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base 2. The driving end of the second driver 82 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the feeding chamber 81. The bottom wall of the feeding chamber 81 has a discharge port. The bottom opening of the storage hopper 3 is located on the rotation trajectory of the discharge port. The bottom of the discharge port is fixedly connected to the feeding box 83. The bottom of the feeding box 83 is slidably connected to the baffle 84. The slide rail 87 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base 2. The inner wall of the slide rail 87 is slidably connected to the sliding member 85. The outer wall of the sliding member 85 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 86 through a shaft. The outer wall of the connecting member 86 is fixedly connected to the baffle 84.

[0032] Specifically, the second driver 82 drives the support base 2 to rotate. When the discharge port rotates to the opening of the barrel, the bait inside the storage barrel 3 falls into the feeding box 83. At this time, the baffle 84 blocks the feeding box 83 through the restriction of the connecting piece 86 to prevent the bait from falling. The second driver 82 drives the support base 2 to rotate so that the opening of the barrel and the discharge port are misaligned. The support base 2 blocks the opening of the storage barrel 3 until the feeding box 83 rotates to the feeding hopper 5. The sliding piece 85 slides to the protrusion of the slide rail 87, which increases the distance between the sliding piece and the feeding box 83. Thus, the connecting piece 86 pulls the baffle 84 to slide outward to open the feeding box 83, allowing the bait to fall into the feeding hopper 5 to complete the automatic feeding.

[0033] Working principle: When the device is needed, open the lid and place the bait in the storage bin 3. The second driver 82 drives the support base 2 to rotate. When the discharge port rotates to the opening of the bin, the bait inside the storage bin 3 falls into the feeding box 83. At this time, the baffle 84 blocks the feeding box 83 through the restriction of the connecting piece 86 to prevent the bait from falling. The second driver 82 drives the support base 2 to rotate, so that the opening of the bin and the discharge port are misaligned. The support base 2 blocks the opening of the storage bin 3 until the feeding box 83 rotates to the feeding hopper 5. The sliding piece 85 slides to the protrusion of the slide rail 87, which increases the distance between the sliding piece and the feeding box 83. Thus, the connecting piece 86 pulls the baffle 84 to slide outward to open the feeding box 83, allowing the bait to fall into the feeding hopper 5 to complete the automatic feeding. During feeding, the drive unit 76 rotates the rotating wheel 75. The rotation of the rotating wheel 75 causes the extrusion rod 77 to rotate, pushing the slider 71 to slide and compressing the spring 73. When the extrusion rod 77 disengages from the slider 71, the rebound force of the spring 73 pushes the slider 71 to slide. The sliding of the slider 71, through the pull rod 72, pushes the connecting rod 4 and the feeding hopper 5 to rotate, thereby throwing the feed into the aquaculture area. Furthermore, by installing extrusion rods 77 of different lengths, the slider 71 can disengage from the extrusion rod 77 at different sliding distances, causing changes in the compression amplitude of the spring 73, and thus changing the throwing force of the feeding hopper 5, thereby adjusting the feeding area.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
