Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed feeding technology, and in particular to a throw-type feed feeding device for aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] Aquaculture, through the controlled reproduction and cultivation of aquatic plants and animals, has become a major driving force for the rapid and stable development of my country's fisheries. In 2019, my country's total aquaculture output exceeded 50 million tons, accounting for more than 60% of the world's total aquaculture output (Wang Ying, Lin Xubin, Chen Lianfei, et al. Current Status and Application Suggestions for Aquaculture Equipment Development in Guangdong Province [J]. Modern Agricultural Equipment). .
[0003] An existing aquaculture throwing-type feed feeding device involves manually placing feed into a throwing container one by one, then activating the throwing component, which drives the throwing container to rotate, thereby throwing the feed in all directions to achieve the feeding purpose.
[0004] However, from the placement of feed to the start-up of the equipment, every step requires manual labor, which undoubtedly consumes a lot of manpower and time, greatly increasing the workload of the farmers. In the long run, this is not conducive to improving breeding efficiency and controlling costs. Moreover, since manual placement makes it difficult to ensure that the amount of feed is uniform each time, uneven distribution of feed is likely to occur, affecting the growth rate and health of the animals, and ultimately having an adverse impact on the overall breeding effect.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first motor 401 is started to drive the worm gear 402 to rotate, the worm gear 402 drives the worm wheel 403 to rotate, the worm wheel 403 drives the first rotating shaft 404 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 404 drives the rotating plate 405 to rotate, thereby adjusting the throwing direction and improving the throwing efficiency.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a groove is provided on the base 1, and the first rotating shaft 404 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the base 1 through the groove, thereby limiting the first rotating shaft 404.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a groove 2 is provided on the Geneva wheel 505, and a toggle block 509 is movably connected to the inner side of the Geneva wheel 505 through the groove 2. By rotating the toggle block 509, the Geneva wheel 505 is driven to rotate.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, multiple sets of dispensing plates 504 are provided. The multiple sets of dispensing plates 504 are arranged in a circumferential array on the outside of the second rotating shaft 503, so that the bait is divided into multiple portions. Each time the dispensing plate 504 is rotated, one portion of bait is dropped, thereby realizing quantitative feeding.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the throwing assembly includes a mounting frame 601. The mounting frame 601 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 405. A rotating rod 602 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 601. A connecting rod 603 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 602. A holding box 604 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 603. A touch switch 605 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 405. An arc spring 606 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 601. A guide rod 607 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod 603.

A pull line 610 is fixedly connected to the take-up roller 609, and a fixing ring 611 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod 603. The pull line 610 and the fixing ring 611 are fixedly connected. By rotating the take-up roller 609, the pull line 610 is wound up, the pull line 610 pulls the fixing ring 611, and the fixing ring 611 pulls the connecting rod 603, thereby causing the container 604 to contact the touch switch 605.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a groove 3 is provided on the mounting bracket 601, and the guide rod 607 is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 601 through the groove 3, thereby playing a guiding and limiting role for the guide rod 607.
[0035] Other embodiments:
[0036] The touch switch 605 can also adopt other structures in the prior art, such as infrared sensor switches.
[0037] During operation, pushing the push rod 3 causes the caster wheel 2 to roll, thereby moving the device. Activating the second motor 608 rotates the take-up roller 609, causing it to wind the pull line 610 around its outer side. The pull line 610 pulls the retaining ring 611, which in turn pulls the connecting rod 603. The connecting rod 603 causes the guide rod 607 to slide inside the mounting bracket 601. The guide rod 607 compresses the arc spring 606, causing the container 604 to contact the touch switch 605. Activating the self-locking motor 507 then rotates the rotating disk 508, which in turn rotates the actuating block 509. The actuating block 509 rotates the Geneva wheel 505, which in turn rotates the second rotating shaft 503. The second rotating shaft 503 drives the distribution plate 504 to rotate, dividing the bait into multiple portions. Each rotation of the distribution plate 504 releases one portion of bait, achieving quantitative feeding. The released bait enters the holding box 604 through the discharge pipe 502. Subsequently, the second motor 608 quickly reverses to release the pull line 610. At this time, the arc spring 606 drives the guide rod 607 to rebound, which in turn drives the connecting rod 603 to rotate. The connecting rod 603 then moves the holding box 604, thereby throwing out the bait from the holding box 604 to complete the feeding. By starting the first motor 401, the worm gear 402 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 403 to rotate. The worm wheel 403 drives the first rotating shaft 404 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 405 to rotate, thereby adjusting the throwing direction.
[0038] Although only certain components and embodiments of this application have been illustrated and described, many modifications and alterations (e.g., variations in the size, dimensions, structure, shape and proportion of the various elements, installation arrangement, material use, color, orientation, etc.) will be conceived by those skilled in the art without actually departing from the scope and spirit of the claims.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit 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.
