Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically a feeding device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture is the practice of raising aquatic economic animals and plants using available waters, based on the different ecological habits and environmental requirements of the aquatic species. It is one of the agricultural production sectors. With the continuous development of the economy, people's demand for aquatic products is also increasing, so the aquaculture industry is developing very rapidly.

[0003] Patent publication number "CN215530896U" discloses "A feeder for aquaculture, including a support plate, a stabilizing mechanism for stabilizing the device connected to the support plate, a servo motor fixedly connected to the support plate, multiple stabilizing rods at the connection between the servo motor and the support plate, a rotating block fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the servo motor, a feeding mechanism connected to the rotating block, the rotating block rotatably connected to the support plate, a conveying mechanism connected to the rotating block, one end of the feeding mechanism connected to the conveying mechanism, and a drive mechanism on the rotating block." This allows feed to enter the conveying pipe, and then a push plate moves forward under the action of a lead screw, causing the material to exit from the outlet. Simultaneously, the servo motor rotates the conveying pipe, but it is particularly important to note that the rotation angle is approximately 60 degrees, ensuring that the feed is not placed in a single position, thus promoting the normal growth of fish fry.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the position of the discharge port is changed to ensure that the feed is not placed in the same location. However, when the feed is placed, the material falls directly into the water below under the action of gravity. This method causes the feed to not spread well in all directions each time it is fed, resulting in a large density of feed at a single location when feeding, which affects the feeding effect.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a feeding device for aquaculture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a feeding device for aquaculture, including a frame 1, a counterweight 4 fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1, a conveying component 2 on the top of the counterweight 4, a feeding component 3 on the outside of the conveying component 2, a handle 5 and a controller 6 fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1, the conveying component 2 includes a conveying cylinder 21, a spiral conveying rod 27 rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder 21, the feeding component 3 includes a connecting cylinder 31, the connecting cylinder 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer end of the frame 1, a rotating box 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting cylinder 31, the connecting cylinder 31 connects the rotating box 32 and the inside of the conveying cylinder 21, and an outer tube 34 and an inner tube 35 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating box 32.

[0026] A third motor 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying cylinder 21. A rotating rod 36 is fixedly installed on the output end of the third motor 33. The bottom of the rotating rod 36 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the rotating box 32. The outer tube 34 is located outside the inner tube 35, and the angle between the outer tube 34 and the horizontal direction is smaller than the angle between the inner tube 35 and the horizontal direction.

[0027] In this embodiment, when feeding, the feed is poured into the hopper 24. The controller 6 starts the first motor 23 and the third motor 33. The first motor 23 drives the screw conveyor 27 to rotate, so that the feed in the hopper 24 is conveyed to the outside through the conveyor cylinder 21. When it is conveyed to the connecting cylinder 31, it enters the rotating box 32 below. The third motor 33 drives the rotating rod 36 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 36 drives the rotating box 32 below to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the feed is thrown out through the outer tube 34 and the inner tube 35. By using the outer tube 34 and the inner tube 35 at different angles, the feed can be thrown out at different angles, thereby effectively solving the problem of concentrated feed when feeding at a single location and ensuring the feeding effect.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a bracket 25 is fixedly mounted on the top of the counterweight 4. An adjusting frame 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the bracket 25. A conveying cylinder 21 is fixedly mounted on the side of the adjusting frame 22. A first motor 23 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the adjusting frame 22. The output end of the first motor 23 movably passes through the interior of the adjusting frame 22 and is fixedly connected to the spiral conveying rod 27. A side plate 28 is fixedly mounted inside the conveying cylinder 21. The outer end of the spiral conveying rod 27 is rotatably connected to the inside of the side plate 28. A second motor 26 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bracket 25. The output end of the second motor 26 movably passes through the interior of the bracket 25 and is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 22. A feeding hopper 24 is fixedly mounted on the top of the conveying cylinder 21. The controller 6 is electrically connected to the first motor 23, the second motor 26, and the third motor 33.

[0029] In this embodiment, during feeding, the controller 6 starts the second motor 26. The rotation of the second motor 26 drives the adjustment frame 22 to rotate. The rotation of the adjustment frame 22 can cause the outer conveying cylinder 21 to swing, thereby changing the position of the front feeding component 3. The controller 6 controls the conveying cylinder 21 to adjust the angle within 30 degrees to the left and right to ensure that the feeding component 3 is always above the water surface. The counterweight 4 ensures the overall stability and prevents the whole device from tipping over during feeding. Furthermore, the frame 1 and handle 5 can move the device on the riverbank, ensuring better movement during feeding and feeding at different locations.

[0030] Controller 6 Selection: Siemens S7-1200 series PLC is selected as the controller 6 for the aquaculture feeder. As a small programmable logic controller, it has powerful processing capabilities and rich communication interfaces, as well as a high protection level. It can adapt to the humid and dusty aquaculture environment, and has strong stability, which can ensure the reliable operation of the feeder for a long time.

[0031] In terms of connectivity, the digital output ports of the Siemens S7-1200 are connected to the control circuits of the first motor 23, the second motor 26, and the third motor 33 via intermediate relays. When connected to the first motor 23, its start-stop and speed control can be achieved, thereby adjusting the rotation speed of the screw conveyor 27 to control the feed delivery volume. When connected to the second motor 26, its forward and reverse rotation and speed can be controlled to adjust the angle of the adjusting frame 22 and change the position of the conveying cylinder 21. When connected to the third motor 33, its start-stop and speed control can be achieved through program control, causing the rotating box 32 to rotate and using centrifugal force to throw the feed out from the outer tube 34 and the inner tube 35.

[0032] The control program is designed with two modes: manual and automatic. In manual mode, signals are input to the PLC via the operation panel buttons. The corresponding digital output ports of the PLC are set or reset, and the motor is started, stopped, and its speed is adjusted via intermediate relays to meet the flexible operation needs of farmers. In automatic mode, parameters such as feeding time and feeding area are set in the PLC program. The PLC follows the preset program, first controlling the second motor 26 to adjust the angle of the conveyor cylinder 21, then starting the first motor 23 to convey feed, and simultaneously starting the third motor 33 to feed the animals. After feeding is completed, the motors are stopped in sequence to achieve automated feeding and improve feeding efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] Working principle: When feeding, feed is poured into the feeding hopper 24. The controller 6 starts the first motor 23 and the third motor 33. The first motor 23 drives the screw conveyor 27 to rotate, which conveys the feed in the feeding hopper 24 to the outside through the conveyor cylinder 21. When it reaches the connecting cylinder 31, it enters the rotating box 32 below. The third motor 33 drives the rotating rod 36 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating box 32 below to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the feed is thrown out through the outer pipe 34 and the inner pipe 35. By using the outer pipe 34 and the inner pipe 35 at different angles, the feed can be thrown out at different angles, thus effectively solving the problem of individual feed being thrown out. When distributing feed, the concentrated distribution ensures effective feeding. During distribution, the controller 6 starts the second motor 26, which rotates the adjusting frame 22. The rotation of the adjusting frame 22 causes the outer conveyor cylinder 21 to swing, thereby changing the position of the front feeding component 3. The controller 6 controls the conveyor cylinder 21 to adjust its angle within 30 degrees to the left and right, ensuring that the feeding component 3 is always above the water surface. The counterweight 4 ensures overall stability, preventing the whole device from tipping over during feeding. Furthermore, the frame 1 and handle 5 allow the device to be moved on the riverbank, enabling better movement during feeding and allowing for feeding at different locations.
