Technical Field

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

[0002] With the continuous development of intelligent equipment, large-scale farming has become an industry trend, which also poses greater challenges to intelligent farming equipment and technologies. Currently, traditional pig farming still uses pen-to-pen feeding, where farmers manually weigh and mix the feed before pouring it directly into the trough. In large-scale farming, this method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to significant deviations in feed amounts, making precise feeding difficult and resulting in growth differences among pigs. Furthermore, most pigs are currently fed dry feed, which generates dust, creates a poor feeding environment, and increases the risk of disease. Based on these problems, existing technologies need further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, an automatic feeding device for aquaculture includes a weighing mechanism 1, a mixing mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, and a feed trough 4.

The weighing component 12 is mounted on the hopper 11 for weighing dry feed, and the weighing outlet 13 is located at the bottom of the hopper 11. The mixing mechanism 2 includes a mixing tank 21, a dry feed inlet 22, a water inlet 23, and a mixing component. The dry feed inlet 22 is connected to the weighing outlet 13, and the water inlet 23 is arranged parallel to the dry feed inlet 22 on the mixing tank 21. The mixing component is located inside the mixing tank 21 for thoroughly mixing dry feed and water. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying pipeline 31 and a conveying pump 32. The conveying pipeline 31 is connected to the end of the mixing tank 21, and the conveying pump 32 is mounted on the conveying pipeline 31 to provide a power source for feed conveying. The feed trough 4 is located at the end of the conveying pipeline 31.

[0028] This invention provides an automatic feeding device for livestock, enabling automated feeding of pigs, reducing manual intervention, increasing work efficiency, and facilitating precise feeding, which is more conducive to pig development. Equipped with a weighing mechanism, the required amount of dry feed is accurately weighed and fed into the mixing mechanism through the dry feed inlet. Water is added in the appropriate proportion through the water inlet, mixing with the dry feed to form a uniformly mixed wet feed. This wet feed is then fed into the conveying pipeline of the conveying mechanism and transported to the corresponding feed trough by a conveying pump. Using wet feed is more beneficial to pig growth and reduces the risk of disease. The entire process, from initial feed preparation to final delivery to the feed trough, is automated, reducing manual workload, improving work efficiency, and minimizing feeding errors, thus promoting scientific feeding practices.

[0029] Based on the above technical solution, the weighing component 12 is configured as a weighing sensor, and the weighing sensor is located at the bottom of the hopper 11.

[0030] Based on the above technical solution, the weighing mechanism 1 further includes a material conveying trough 14, a conveying auger 15, and a first driving component 16. The material conveying trough 14 is correspondingly arranged below the weighing outlet 13. The conveying auger 15 is arranged in the material conveying trough 14 and is driven to rotate by the first driving component 16. The dry material inlet 22 is connected to the end of the material conveying trough 14.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a weighing sensor is installed at the bottom of the hopper 11 to accurately weigh the dry feed required during feeding, which is more conducive to scientific feeding. Specifically, the hopper 11 receives dry feed materials from the storage bin or storage tower, the required amount of dry feed is weighed by the weighing sensor, and then the required raw materials are output from the feed trough 14 by the conveying auger 15 and enter the mixing mechanism 2 from the dry feed inlet to be mixed with liquid.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the stirring component includes a stirring paddle 24, a stirring shaft 25, and a second driving component 26. The stirring paddle 24 is fixedly mounted on the stirring shaft 25 and located at the bottom of the stirring tank 21. The second driving component 26 drives the stirring paddle 24 to rotate through the stirring shaft 25. The bottom of the stirring tank 21 is provided with a stirring outlet 27, which is connected to the conveying mechanism 3.

[0033] The mixing mechanism 2 can thoroughly mix dry feed and liquid to form wet feed, which is then delivered to the feed trough 4 corresponding to each pig for feeding. Specifically, the mixing tank 21 receives the required amount of dry feed delivered by the weighing mechanism 1, the water inlet 23 inputs the required amount of water, and the mixing paddle 24 rotates under the drive of the second drive component 26 to mix the dry feed and water evenly to form wet feed, which is then output from the mixing outlet 27.

[0034] Based on the above technical solution, a liquid level sensor 28 is installed inside the mixing tank 21. In a preferred embodiment, the liquid level sensor 28 is installed inside the mixing tank 21 to facilitate feedback on the mixing volume inside the mixing tank and avoid waste caused by introducing excessive water or feed.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, the mixing tank 21 is arranged in an inverted cone shape. In a preferred embodiment, the mixing tank 21 is arranged in an inverted cone shape to facilitate the discharge of the wet material after mixing.

[0036] Based on the above technical solution, the stirring paddle 24 is configured as a ring and uniformly arranged along the circumference of the stirring shaft. In a preferred embodiment, the stirring paddle 24 is configured as a ring, which on the one hand increases the contact area with the wet material, resulting in better stirring effect; on the other hand, it also reduces the adhesion of the wet material, avoiding waste.

[0037] Based on the above technical solution, both the first driving component 16 and the second driving component 26 employ drive motors. In one preferred embodiment, both the first driving component 16 and the second driving component 26 use drive motors to drive their respective components. In other preferred embodiments, the first driving component and the second driving component may also employ drive motors in conjunction with belt drive mechanisms or gear drive mechanisms, as long as the operation of the driven components can be achieved.

[0038] Based on the above technical solution, the conveying mechanism 3 further includes a feed pipe 33, an air inlet pipe 34, and a water inlet pipe 35. The first end of the feed pipe 33 is connected to the end of the mixing tank 21. The feed pipe 33, the air inlet pipe 34, and the water inlet pipe 35 are all connected to the conveying pipe 31 through a multi-way control valve.

[0039] During the specific conveying process, the feed pipeline 33 is connected to the mixing mechanism 2. The mixed wet feed is conveyed from the feed pipeline 33 to the conveying pipeline 31 under the power of the conveying pump 32. Then, the valve is switched to connect the air inlet pipeline 34, and high-pressure gas is introduced to convey the feed into the feed trough 4. At the same time, water and air are used alternately as power sources to clean the conveying pipeline 31 in a timely manner, realizing simultaneous conveying and cleaning. This makes the operation more convenient, more hygienic, and leaves no residue. It also prevents food residue in the conveying pipeline 31 from spoiling and affecting the quality of subsequent feed, making it more suitable for pig farming.

[0040] Based on the above technical solution, pressure sensors and one-way valves are installed on the feed pipeline 33, air inlet pipeline 34, water inlet pipeline 35 and conveying pipeline 31.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, pressure sensors and one-way valves are installed in multiple pipelines to ensure the safety and stability of feed during transportation. By installing pressure sensors, the operating status of each pipeline in the system can be detected in real time. If the system detects abnormal pressure in the pipeline, it will promptly report it to the staff for handling to avoid losses and effectively prevent liquid backflow from affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0042] Based on the above technical solution, the trough 4 includes a trough body 41 and a partition 42. The partition 42 is fixedly installed above the trough body 41 by a fixing plate 43, and the end of the conveying pipeline 31 is installed inside the trough body 41.

[0043] By setting partitions 42 on the feed trough body 41, fixed feeding positions are formed, which facilitates pigs to eat and avoids large-scale waste. More preferably, multiple partitions 42 are evenly arranged so that multiple pigs can eat in a specific position, avoiding mutual interference or stress response, and ensuring the safety and scientific nature of feeding.

[0044] More preferably, a feed level sensor 44 is also provided inside the feed trough body 41. The feed level sensor 44 inside the feed trough body 41 allows for timely monitoring of the pigs' feeding status, enabling them to eat smaller, more frequent meals, providing fresh feed in real time, ensuring clean and hygienic feeding, and promoting more scientific feeding practices.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
