Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for aquaculture ponds. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture ponds are facilities specifically designed for raising aquatic organisms (such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc.). They typically include ponds, water circulation systems, filtration systems, aeration equipment, and feeding devices. Through scientific management and technical means, they provide a suitable growth environment for aquatic organisms to improve aquaculture efficiency and yield, thereby meeting market demand.

[0003] CN217694915U discloses an automatic feeding device for aquaculture ponds. It adopts a self-propelled design on the water surface. A drive motor rotates the drive shaft, which drives the turbine shaft to rotate through transmission, thereby propelling the device to move on the water surface. At the same time, the drive shaft also drives the reciprocating screw to rotate, so that the moving nut moves back and forth along the axis of the reciprocating screw. In turn, the pull rod drives the sealing plate to move back and forth synchronously, thereby opening or closing the feeding pipe to achieve intermittent feeding. This completes the automatic feeding while avoiding feeding too fast.

[0004] The automatic feeding device in this aquaculture pond uses a pull rod to drive the sealing plate to move back and forth synchronously, thereby opening or closing the feeding pipe to achieve intermittent feeding. Although the device can move on the water surface, due to the small discharge range, the device needs to be moved and adjusted frequently, which increases the time required for feeding and reduces the overall feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for aquaculture ponds.

[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for an aquaculture pond, comprising a float plate, a waterproof box fixedly connected to the bottom of the float plate, a turbine shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the waterproof box, the left end of the turbine shaft extending to the outside of the waterproof box and fixedly connected to a turbine, a first driven bevel gear fixedly connected to the right end of the turbine shaft, a support frame fixedly connected to the surface of the float plate, a material cylinder fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame, a solenoid valve fixedly installed at the bottom of the material cylinder, and a feeding assembly provided at the top of the float plate;

[0007] The feeding assembly includes a motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a first driving bevel gear. The inner wall of the first driving bevel gear meshes with a second driven bevel gear. The inner wall of the second driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to a fixing rod. The top of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to a receiving bucket. The bottom of the receiving bucket is connected to a feeding pipe. The bottom of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the second driving bevel gear.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the motor drives the first active bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second driven bevel gear to rotate, causing the fixed rod to rotate and the receiving bucket to rotate. The resulting centrifugal force causes the feed inside the receiving bucket to enter the feeding pipe. Due to the rotation of the receiving bucket, the feeding pipe rotates and puts the feed inside into different positions in the breeding pond, increasing the feeding range and thus improving the feeding efficiency.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bottom of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the float, the surface of the fixing rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the float, and the receiving bucket is located at the bottom of the material cylinder.

[0010] With the above technical solution, a feed pipe is provided at the top of the feed cylinder, which facilitates the addition of feed into the inside of the feed cylinder.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of feeding pipes is set to three, and the three feeding pipes are arranged in a circle around the receiving bucket.

[0012] The above technical solution allows feed to be fed into different locations in the aquaculture pond via three feeding pipes, thus improving feeding efficiency.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the second driving bevel gear meshes with the first driven bevel gear.

[0014] With the above technical solution, the second driving bevel gear and the first driven bevel gear are located inside the waterproof box, which provides protection.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, a photovoltaic panel is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and a distribution box is fixedly connected to one end of the support frame.

[0016] The above technical solution provides support for the material cylinder through the support frame, while also facilitating the installation of other control equipment.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, the distribution box is equipped with a storage battery, and the photovoltaic panel is electrically connected to the storage battery through wires.

[0018] The above technical solution utilizes solar energy to generate electricity through photovoltaic panels, and transmits the electrical energy to a battery in the distribution box via wires for storage, providing the power required for the device's operation. This approach is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and reduces operating costs.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above solution, a control box is fixedly connected to one end of the support frame.

[0020] The control box, as described above, is equipped with a Bluetooth module, a processor, a motor drive module, and a solenoid valve control module. The Bluetooth module, model HC-05, is used for wireless communication with smartphones, tablets, or dedicated controllers. It receives control commands from external devices and transmits them to the processor, which is a microcontroller, single-chip microcomputer, or other embedded processor. This processor is responsible for processing the commands from the Bluetooth module and controlling the operation of the motor and solenoid valve. The motor drive module, model TB6600, and the solenoid valve control module are relays or other switching devices. All electronic components inside the control box are electrically connected to the battery.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This invention features a feeding assembly. Specifically, a motor drives a first active bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives a second driven bevel gear to rotate. This, in turn, rotates a fixed rod, which in turn rotates a receiving hopper. The resulting centrifugal force causes the feed inside the receiving hopper to enter the feeding pipe. As the receiving hopper rotates, the feeding pipe rotates, distributing the feed to different locations within the aquaculture pond, thus increasing the feeding range and improving feeding efficiency.

[0023] This utility model utilizes solar energy to generate electricity through photovoltaic panels and a distribution box. Specifically, the photovoltaic panels generate electricity and the electrical energy is transmitted to a battery in the distribution box via wires for storage, providing the power required for the device's operation. This approach is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and reduces operating costs. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0032] Example:

[0033] Please combine Figure 1-5 An automatic feeding device for an aquaculture pond according to this embodiment includes a float plate 1, a waterproof box 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the float plate 1, a turbine shaft 3 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the waterproof box 2, a turbine 4 fixedly connected to the left end of the turbine shaft 3 extending to the outside of the waterproof box 2, a first driven bevel gear 5 fixedly connected to the right end of the turbine shaft 3, a support frame 6 fixedly connected to the surface of the float plate 1, a feed cylinder 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 6, a solenoid valve 8 fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed cylinder 7, and a feeding assembly 9 provided at the top of the float plate 1.

[0034] The feeding assembly 9 includes a motor 901. A first driving bevel gear 902 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 901. A second driven bevel gear 903 meshes with the inner wall of the first driving bevel gear 902. A fixing rod 904 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second driven bevel gear 903. A receiving hopper 905 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 904. A feeding pipe 906 is connected to the bottom of the receiving hopper 905. A second driving bevel gear 907 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod 904. The motor 901 drives the first driving bevel gear 902 to rotate, causing the second driven bevel gear 903 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed rod 904 causes the second active bevel gear 907 to rotate, which in turn drives the first driven bevel gear 5 to rotate, causing the turbine 4 to rotate and propelling the device to move in the aquaculture pond. Then, the solenoid valve 8 is opened, allowing the feed inside the feed cylinder 7 to fall into the receiving bucket 905. When the fixed rod 904 rotates, it drives the receiving bucket 905 to rotate. The resulting centrifugal force causes the feed inside the receiving bucket 905 to enter the feeding pipe 906. Due to the rotation of the receiving bucket 905, the feeding pipe 906 rotates, distributing the feed inside to different positions in the aquaculture pond, increasing the feeding range and thus improving the feeding efficiency.

[0035] The bottom of the motor 901 is fixedly connected to the top of the float plate 1, the surface of the fixing rod 904 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the float plate 1, and the receiving bucket 905 is located at the bottom of the material cylinder 7.

[0036] There are three feeding pipes 906, which are arranged in a circle around the receiving bucket 905.

[0037] The second driving bevel gear 907 meshes with the first driven bevel gear 5.

[0038] A photovoltaic panel 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 6, and a distribution box 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the support frame 6.

[0039] The distribution box 11 is equipped with a storage battery. The photovoltaic panel 10 is electrically connected to the storage battery through wires. The photovoltaic panel 10 generates electricity using solar energy and transmits the electrical energy to the storage battery in the distribution box 11 through wires for storage, providing the power required for the operation of the device. This is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and reduces operating costs.

[0040] One end of the support frame 6 is fixedly connected to a control box 12. The control box 12 contains a Bluetooth module, a processor, a motor drive module, and a solenoid valve control module. The operator can wirelessly communicate with the Bluetooth module in the control box 12 via a smartphone or tablet to send control commands. After receiving the control commands, the Bluetooth module transmits them to the processor. The processor generates corresponding control signals according to the command content. The processor controls the start, stop, and speed of the motor 901 through the motor drive module. The processor controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 8 through the solenoid valve control module. When the solenoid valve 8 is opened, the feed inside the feed cylinder 7 falls into the receiving hopper 905, realizing remote intelligent control.

[0041] The implementation principle of the automatic feeding device for an aquaculture pond in this embodiment is as follows: Feed is placed inside the feed cylinder 7, and the device is placed in the aquaculture pond. The motor 901 is started, causing the first driving bevel gear 902 to rotate, which in turn rotates the second driven bevel gear 903, causing the fixed rod 904 to rotate. This causes the second driving bevel gear 907 to rotate, which in turn rotates the first driven bevel gear 5, causing the turbine 4 to rotate and propel the device to move within the aquaculture pond. Then, the solenoid valve 8 is opened, allowing the feed inside the feed cylinder 7 to fall into the receiving valve. Inside the feed hopper 905, when the fixed rod 904 rotates, it drives the receiving hopper 905 to rotate. The resulting centrifugal force causes the feed inside the receiving hopper 905 to enter the feeding pipe 906. Due to the rotation of the receiving hopper 905, the feeding pipe 906 rotates, distributing the feed inside to different positions in the breeding pond, increasing the feeding range and thus improving feeding efficiency. Solar energy is generated through the photovoltaic panel 10, and the electrical energy is transmitted to the battery in the distribution box 11 through wires for storage, providing the power required for the operation of the device. This is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and reduces operating costs.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
