[0002] With population growth and improved living standards, people's demand for seafood such as fish and shrimp is increasing. In order to meet people's demand for fish and shrimp while reducing the burden of marine resource development and better protecting the aquatic ecological environment, more and more people are starting to farm fish and shrimp.

[0003] Because the feeding habits of fish and shrimp vary depending on their growth stage and seasonal changes, both overfeeding and underfeeding can negatively impact their health and growth. Therefore, most current practices involve lifting the feeding basket and observing the remaining feed to adjust the amount of feed for the next feeding, thus optimizing feeding and preventing overfeeding or underfeeding. Currently, most of this is done manually, lifting the feeding basket in the water and observing it visually. This is not only cumbersome and labor-intensive, but also difficult to do when the basket is located in the middle of the pond or in deeper water. Furthermore, the traditional manual feeding method is cumbersome and labor-intensive, especially in large-scale farms where operators need to go to different areas to feed the shrimp, resulting in a very large workload. Utility Model Content:

Detailed implementation method:

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-8As shown, this utility model includes a guide rail 1, a feeding seat 2 that slides along the guide rail 1, a traveling power mechanism 3 for driving the feeding seat 2 to slide, an automatic feeding mechanism 4 disposed on the feeding seat 2, several automatic basket lifting devices 5, and a camera recognition device 8; the automatic basket lifting device 5 is used to automatically lift and return the feeding basket; the camera recognition device 8 is used to visually recognize the feeding basket lifted by the automatic basket lifting device 5; firstly, the traveling power mechanism 3 drives the feeding seat 2 to slide above each feeding position, and then the automatic basket lifting device 5 replaces manual labor to automatically lift the feeding basket upward. The system starts by visually identifying the feeding basket using a camera recognition device 8 instead of human eyes, and then automatically feeding the basket using an automatic feeding mechanism 4 instead of manual feeding. The overall automation level is high, which can greatly reduce the workload of operators. This utility model can replace manual methods to lift and put back the feeding basket located in the water, replace manual observation, and replace manual feeding. It eliminates the need for manual feeding in each aquaculture area, realizes automated inspection and automatic feeding, and greatly reduces the workload of operators.

[0030] By setting up a camera recognition device 8, the remaining feed in the feeding basket and / or the growth status of the fish and shrimp in the feeding basket can be photographed and visually recognized, thereby replacing manual observation and further improving the overall automation level. The visual recognition results of the camera recognition device 8 can be used to remind or automatically realize the feeding, addition of trace elements or medicines, etc. Compared with setting a corresponding camera recognition device 8 next to each automatic basket lifting device 5, which requires multiple camera recognition devices 8 in total, this utility model sets the camera recognition device 8 on the feeding base 2. The camera recognition device 8 can move with the feeding base 2 to each automatic basket lifting device 5 and perform visual recognition on each feeding basket lifted by the automatic basket lifting device 5 in turn. Only one camera recognition device 8 is needed in total, which can not only greatly reduce costs, but also simplify the overall installation and wiring.

[0031] Since various solid and / or liquid additives are generally required at different growth stages of farmed animals to promote better growth, the automatic feeding mechanism 4 of this invention includes an automatic feed dispensing component 41 for automatically dispensing feed downwards and / or an automatic solid additive dispensing component 42 for automatically dispensing solid additives downwards and / or an automatic liquid additive dispensing component 43 for automatically dispensing liquid additives downwards. This not only replaces manual feeding to achieve automatic feed dispensing, but also replaces manual dispensing to achieve automatic dispensing of solid and / or liquid additives, further reducing workload and improving the overall level of automation.

[0032] The automatic feed dispensing assembly 41 includes at least one automatic feed dispensing module 411. Each automatic feed dispensing module 411 includes a feed cylinder 4111 mounted on the feeding base 2, a feed outlet 4112 located at the bottom of the feed cylinder 4111, a feed dispensing screw 4113 rotatably connected to the feed outlet 4112 in a horizontal direction, and a feed dispensing power mechanism 4114 for driving the feed dispensing screw 4113 to rotate. The feed dispensing power mechanism 4114 is mounted on the feed cylinder 4111, and its output end drives the feed dispensing screw 4113. The screw rod 4113; by pre-loading feed into the feed hopper 4111, the feed discharge screw rod 4113 is driven to rotate by the feed discharge power mechanism 4114 to discharge the feed from the feed hopper 4111. By controlling the rotation angle and number of rotations of the feed discharge screw rod 4113, quantitative feed discharge can be achieved, making it more practical. Compared with feeds that can only be fed a single type, this utility model can achieve the feeding of multiple types of feeds by loading different types of feeds into the feed hoppers 4111 of different automatic feed dispensing modules 411, thereby better meeting various feeding needs.

[0033] The automatic solid additive dispensing assembly 42 includes at least one automatic solid additive dispensing module 421. Each automatic solid additive dispensing module 421 includes a solid additive cylinder 4211 disposed on the feeding base 2, a solid additive outlet 4212 disposed at the bottom of the solid additive cylinder 4211, a solid additive dispensing screw 4213 rotatably connected to the solid additive outlet 4212 in a horizontal direction, and a solid additive dispensing power mechanism 4214 for driving the solid additive dispensing screw 4213 to rotate. The solid additive dispensing power mechanism 4214 is disposed on the solid additive cylinder 4211, and the output end of the solid additive dispensing power mechanism 4214 drives and connects to the solid additive dispensing screw 4213. Compared with the method of dispensing only a single type of solid additive, this utility model can realize the dispensing of multiple types of solid additives by loading different types of solid additives into the solid additive cylinders 4211 of different automatic solid additive dispensing modules 421, thereby better meeting various feeding needs.

[0034] The automatic liquid additive dispensing assembly 43 includes at least one automatic liquid additive dispensing module 431. Each automatic liquid additive dispensing module 431 includes a liquid additive cylinder 4311 disposed on the feeding base 2 and a pump 4312 disposed on the liquid additive cylinder 4311. By pre-loading the liquid additive into the liquid additive cylinder 4311, the pump 4312 pumps and discharges the liquid additive from the liquid additive cylinder 4311. By controlling the pumping time of the pump 4312, quantitative discharge of liquid additives can be achieved, making it more practical. Compared with solid additives that can only be dispensed with a single type, this invention can dispense multiple types of liquid additives by loading different types of liquid additives into the liquid additive cylinders 4311 of different automatic liquid additive dispensing modules 431, thereby better meeting various feeding needs.

[0035] Each of the aforementioned automatic basket lifting devices 5 includes a basket lifting frame 51, a winding wheel 52 rotatably connected to the basket lifting frame 51 in a vertical direction, a winding and unwinding power mechanism 53 for driving the winding wheel 52 to rotate, and a strap 54 wound around the winding wheel 52. The strap 54 is used to connect to the feeding basket. The winding and unwinding power mechanism 53 is disposed on the basket lifting frame 51, and its output end drives and connects to the winding wheel 52. The winding and unwinding power mechanism 53 drives the winding wheel 52 to rotate forward and winds up the strap 54. The feed basket is lifted upwards and pulled out of the water. After observing the remaining feed in the basket and / or the growth of the fish and shrimp in the basket, the winding and unwinding power mechanism 53 of this invention drives the winding pulley 52 to reverse and unwind the binding strap 54. As the binding strap 54 is unwound downwards, the feed basket moves downwards and resets, completing the entire process of automatically lifting and returning the feed basket. This invention can replace manual lifting and returning of the feed basket, reducing the workload of operators.

[0036] Each of the aforementioned automatic basket lifting devices 5 further includes a power supply device 55 for supplying power to the winding and unwinding power mechanism 53. The power supply device 55 includes a movable electrical output component 551 and a fixed electrical input component 552. The movable electrical output component 551 includes a mobile power supply 5511 disposed on the feeding base 2 and at least two output spring electrodes 5512 disposed on the feeding base 2. The fixed electrical input component 552 includes at least two input tube electrodes 5521 disposed on the winding and unwinding power mechanism 53 for cooperating with the output spring electrodes 5512. Each output spring electrode 5512 is electrically connected to the mobile power supply 5511, and each input tube electrode 5521 is electrically connected to the winding and unwinding power mechanism 53. When the output spring electrode 5512 moves above the input tube electrode 5521, each output spring electrode 5512 contacts and conducts electricity with the corresponding input tube electrode 5521. Because in aquaculture... In specific application scenarios, multiple feeding baskets are often required, and these baskets are generally located in the center of the aquaculture pond. Power supplies are typically installed next to each feeding basket to power the winding and unwinding mechanism 53. This not only requires pulling the cable to the center of the pond, which is cumbersome, but also necessitates multiple power supplies, posing significant safety hazards. This invention uses a traveling power mechanism 3 to drive a movable base to move above each winding and unwinding mechanism 53, allowing the output spring electrode 5512 on the movable base to contact and conduct electricity with the input tube electrode 5521 on the winding and unwinding mechanism 53. This enables mobile power supply to each winding and unwinding mechanism 53. Furthermore, this invention achieves mobile power supply through the cooperation of a movable electrical output component 551 and a fixed electrical input component 552. This eliminates the need for cumbersome wiring to power each winding and unwinding mechanism 53, and allows all mechanisms to share a single power supply, which is further away from the water surface, making overall use safer.

[0037] Since the power bank 5511 is mounted on a mobile base, it needs to move with the mobile base. The power bank 5511 of this utility model is a rechargeable battery module. When the power bank 5511 is used for mobile power supply, it does not need to be connected to a power cord. It can provide power supply without the constraints of a power cord, and the overall structure is simpler and safer.

[0038] This utility model also includes an automatic charging device 6 for automatically charging a rechargeable battery module; the automatic charging device 6 includes at least two charging output electrodes 61 respectively connected to the mains power, and at least two charging input electrodes 62 respectively connected to the rechargeable battery module and disposed on the feeding base 2; when the charging input electrode 62 moves in front of the charging output electrode 61, each charging input electrode 62 contacts and is electrically connected to the corresponding charging output electrode 61; the feeding base 2 is driven to the position of the automatic charging device 6 by the traveling power mechanism 3, and each charging input electrode 62 contacts and is electrically connected to the corresponding charging output electrode 61, thereby realizing automatic charging of the rechargeable battery module. The entire charging process does not require manual intervention, which can further reduce workload and improve the overall automation level.

[0039] The automatic charging device 6 also includes an electrode mounting bracket 63, an adaptive swing rod 64 that swings back and forth on the electrode mounting bracket 63, a first compression spring 65, and a second compression spring 66. The charging output electrode 61 swings back and forth on the adaptive swing rod 64. The first compression spring 65 is sandwiched between the adaptive swing rod 64 and the electrode mounting bracket 63, and the second compression spring 66 is sandwiched between the charging output electrode 61 and the adaptive swing rod 64. The charging output electrode 61 of this invention can adaptively adjust its back and forth position, which not only avoids excessive hard compression contact between the charging output electrode 61 and the charging input electrode 62, but also ensures stable contact and energization between the charging output electrode 61 and the charging input electrode 62.

[0040] Each of the aforementioned automatic basket lifting devices 5 further includes a basket position detection component 56 for detecting the height position of the basket. Although controlling the number of rotations of the pulley 52 driven by the winding and unwinding power mechanism 53 can control the length of the strap 54 winding upwards or downwards and thus control the height position of the basket, the precision and accuracy are not very high. This invention uses the basket position detection component 56 to detect the height position of the basket, which can better ensure the accuracy of the height position when the basket is lifted upwards and lowered downwards. The basket position detection component 56 includes a basket sensing magnet 561 disposed on the strap 54 and a basket Hall sensor 562 that cooperates with the basket sensing magnet 561. Through the cooperation of the basket sensing magnet 561 and the basket Hall sensor 562, not only can the height position of the basket be detected with high precision, but the overall structure is also simple.

[0041] The feeding basket position detection component 56 of this utility model can include two feeding basket sensing magnets 561 and one feeding basket Hall sensor 562. That is, when the feeding basket sensing magnet 561 located at the top is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 562, it indicates that the feeding basket has been lowered back into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving downward stops. When the feeding basket sensing magnet 561 located at the bottom is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 562, it indicates that the feeding basket has been lifted up into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving upward stops. Alternatively, the feeding basket position detection component 56 of this utility model can include one feeding basket sensing magnet 561 and two feeding basket Hall sensors 562. That is, when the feeding basket sensing magnet 561 is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 562 located at the bottom, it indicates that the feeding basket has been lowered back into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving downward stops. When the feeding basket sensing magnet 561 is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 562 located at the top, it indicates that the feeding basket has been lifted up into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving upward stops.

[0042] The traveling power mechanism 3 includes several traveling power modules 31. Each traveling power module 31 includes a roller 311 rolled on the guide rail 1 and a servo motor 312 for driving the roller 311 to rotate. The servo motor 312 drives the roller 311 to rotate and drives the feeding seat 2 to slide.

[0043] This utility model also includes a feeding position detection component 7 for detecting the feeding position; although the distance the feeding seat 2 moves can be controlled and fixed-point feeding can be achieved by controlling the number of rotations of the roller 311 driven by the servo motor 312, the precision and accuracy are not that high. This utility model detects the feeding position by using the feeding position detection component 7, which can better ensure the accuracy of the feeding position and achieve fixed-point feeding.

[0044] The feeding position detection component 7 includes a primary detection component 71, which includes at least one bottom sensing magnet 711 spaced apart at the bottom of the guide rail 1 and a bottom Hall sensor 712 disposed on the feeding base 2 to cooperate with each bottom sensing magnet 711. Each bottom sensing magnet 711 is respectively disposed above the feeding position. When the bottom Hall sensor 712 on the feeding base 2 moves below the bottom sensing magnet 711 as the feeding base 2 moves, that is, when the bottom Hall sensor 712 senses the bottom sensing magnet 711, it indicates that the feeding base 2 is currently above the feeding position. The automatic feeding mechanism 4 then feeds the material, thereby better ensuring the accuracy of the feeding position and achieving fixed-point feeding.

[0045] The feeding position detection component 7 also includes a secondary detection component 72. The secondary detection component 72 includes at least one side-mounted sensing magnet 721 spaced apart on the side of the guide rail 1, and a side Hall sensor 722 mounted on the feeding base 2 to cooperate with each side-mounted sensing magnet 721. Through the cooperation of the primary detection component 71 and the secondary detection component 72, dual detection is achieved, resulting in more accurate and reliable detection results, thus better ensuring the accuracy of feeding. Compared to feeding only when the bottom Hall sensor 712 detects and identifies the bottom sensing magnet 711, the feeding base 2 may... When roller 311 becomes stuck or stops moving, feeding seat 2 will repeatedly feed material at the same location, causing misfeeding. This invention utilizes a combination of a bottom induction magnet 711, a bottom Hall sensor 712, a side induction magnet 721, and a side Hall sensor 722. Feeding will only occur when the side Hall sensor 722 first detects and identifies the side induction magnet 721, and then the bottom Hall sensor 712 detects and identifies the bottom induction magnet 711. If the side Hall sensor 722 does not first detect and identify the side induction magnet 721, even if the bottom Hall sensor 712 detects and identifies the bottom induction magnet 711, feeding will not occur. When the Hall sensor 712 detects the bottom induction magnet 711 again, it will not feed the material. This effectively avoids the situation where the feeding seat 2 may feed the material multiple times at the same position and cause misfeeding if it remains stationary due to reasons such as the roller 311 being blocked. This further ensures the accuracy of the feeding position. Of course, this utility model can also be configured by correspondingly setting each side induction magnet 721 to each phase-separated aquaculture pond. When the side Hall sensor 722 detects the next side induction magnet 721, it indicates that the feeding seat 2 has entered the upper part of the next aquaculture pond. For example, in The first breeding pond has three feeding positions, which are correspondingly equipped with three bottom sensing magnets 711 above it. When the side Hall sensor 722 detects the next side sensing magnet 721, the bottom Hall sensor 712 should detect the bottom sensing magnet 711 three times. If the bottom Hall sensor 712 detects the bottom sensing magnet 711 less than three times or more than three times when the side Hall sensor 722 detects the next side sensing magnet 721, it indicates that the current device is malfunctioning and manual intervention is required for troubleshooting and repair.

[0046] The feeding basket induction magnet 561, bottom induction magnet 711, and side induction magnet 721 are each covered with a protective sleeve. The protective sleeve can be a rubber sleeve, film, etc. The protective sleeve can prevent the induction magnet from being corroded by water, water vapor, etc., thereby better ensuring its service life.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] First, the feeding seat 2 is driven by the traveling power mechanism 3 to slide above each feeding position. Then, the automatic basket lifting device 5 replaces manual labor to automatically lift the feeding basket upwards. Next, the camera recognition device 8 replaces manual visual recognition of the feeding basket. Finally, the automatic feeding mechanism 4 replaces manual labor to automatically feed the basket. The overall automation level is high, which can greatly reduce the workload of operators. This utility model can replace manual labor to lift and put back the feeding basket located in the water, replace manual observation, and replace manual feeding. There is no need to manually feed in each breeding area. It can realize automated inspection and automatic feeding, which can greatly reduce the workload of operators.
