Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of turtle and tortoise farming, co-culture of turtles and tortoises is gradually gaining attention as a new type of aquaculture. The physiological characteristics of turtles and tortoises determine that they must be in water to complete the feeding process. Therefore, ensuring that the feed can be effectively delivered to the water layer where the turtles and tortoises are located is a key link in the farming process. Turtles and tortoises have a variety of foods, including wheat, small fish, shrimp, rice, etc., among which small fish, corn and rice are particularly popular. Before feeding, it is usually necessary to mix the various feeds evenly to avoid poor growth and development or anorexia in turtles and tortoises due to nutritional imbalance.
[0003] However, traditional methods of feeding turtles and tortoises mainly rely on artificially scattered food, which has obvious drawbacks. Since tortoises mainly inhabit the bottom of the pond, the artificially scattered food is easily eaten by fish in the upper layer as it sinks, making it difficult for the tortoises in the lower layer to obtain enough food, thus affecting their growth and health.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, no existing underwater feeding device can effectively solve the problem of feed sinking and ensure accurate delivery of feed to the water layer where turtles and tortoises are located. Therefore, designing a feeding device that can meet the needs of turtle and tortoise farming and achieve precise underwater feed delivery has significant practical importance and application value. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical solution of this application mainly addresses the problems and needs in the background technology mentioned above. It aims to solve the problem of feed sinking in traditional feeding methods through innovative design and technical means, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of turtle and tortoise farming.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming includes a feed cylinder, a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the middle of the lower surface of the feed cylinder, a vertical plate fixedly connected to one side of the lower surface of the feed cylinder, a top plate fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate, the top plate being fixedly connected to the discharge pipe, a transmission rod rotatably connected to the upper surface of the top plate, one end of the transmission rod penetrating the upper surface of the top plate and extending to the lower surface of the top plate, a movable plate fixedly connected to the side of the outer surface of the transmission rod near the bottom end; the movable plate is tightly attached to the top plate, three storage cylinders are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate, a bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the vertical plate, the bottom plate is tightly attached to the lower surface of the storage cylinders and is movably connected to the storage cylinders, a notch is opened on one side of the upper surface of the bottom plate, a motor is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom plate, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the transmission rod, and a rubber sealing layer is fixedly connected to both the lower surface of the top plate and the upper surface of the bottom plate.
[0008] To provide support, in this utility model of an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming, a support leg is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the vertical plate, and a counterweight plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support leg.
[0009] To facilitate feeding of turtles and tortoises, as an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming according to this utility model, an L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the side of the bottom plate near the opening, and a feed trough is opened on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate.
[0010] In order to prevent feed from entering, as an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming according to this utility model, the upper surface of the feed cylinder is threaded with a sealing cap, and the inner side wall of the feed cylinder is fixedly connected with a protective chamber.
[0011] In order to enable rotation, as an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming according to this utility model, the inner bottom wall of the protective chamber is rotatably connected to a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod passes through the inner bottom wall of the protective chamber and extends into the interior of the discharge pipe. The bottom end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a spiral blade.
[0012] In order to achieve a rotating effect, as an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming according to this utility model, a large sprocket is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod, and a chain is attached to the outer surface of the large sprocket.
[0013] In order to achieve a transmission effect, as an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming according to this utility model, one end of the transmission rod penetrates through the lower surface of the feed cylinder and extends into the interior of the protective chamber. A small sprocket is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission rod, and the small sprocket overlaps with the chain.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, through the arrangement of a top plate, a transmission rod, a movable plate, and a storage cylinder, during use, the feed to be fed is first poured into the feed cylinder and sealed. It is then placed in water and sinks naturally to the bottom. When feeding is needed, the motor is started to drive the transmission rod to rotate, causing the movable plate to rotate. When the storage cylinder overlaps with the discharge pipe, the feed inside the discharge pipe enters the storage cylinder under the action of gravity. The inner diameter of the discharge pipe is smaller than that of the storage cylinder, which facilitates feeding. The motor is then started again, and the movable plate rotates to misalign the storage cylinder with the discharge pipe. The movable plate is in close contact with the top plate, which can produce good sealing. When the storage cylinder rotates to the opening, the feed can be released to achieve the effect of underwater feeding.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, through the arrangement of connecting rod, spiral blade, large sprocket, and chain, during use, when the motor starts, it drives the transmission rod to rotate, causing the small sprocket to drive the chain to rotate. Through the overlapping effect of the chain and the large sprocket, the large sprocket can be driven to rotate simultaneously, causing the connecting rod to rotate, thereby rotating the spiral blade. This avoids blockage at the discharge pipe. Furthermore, the large sprocket and the small sprocket have different diameters, resulting in a corresponding speed ratio, allowing the connecting rod to rotate slowly, ensuring a small and continuous output of feed, and providing a smoother feeding function.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an underwater feeding device for turtle and tortoise farming includes a feed cylinder 1, a discharge pipe 2 fixedly connected to the middle of the lower surface of the feed cylinder 1, a vertical plate 3 fixedly connected to one side of the lower surface of the feed cylinder 1, a top plate 4 fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate 3, the top plate 4 and the discharge pipe 2 being fixedly connected, a transmission rod 5 rotatably connected to the upper surface of the top plate 4, one end of the transmission rod 5 penetrating the upper surface of the top plate 4 and extending to the lower surface of the top plate 4, and a movable plate 6 fixedly connected to the side of the outer surface of the transmission rod 5 near the bottom.
[0026] In this embodiment, the movable plate 6 is tightly attached to the top plate 4, and a storage cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 6. There are three storage cylinders 7. A bottom plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the vertical plate 3. The bottom plate 8 is tightly attached to the lower surface of the storage cylinder 7 and is movably connected to the storage cylinder 7. A notch 9 is opened on one side of the upper surface of the bottom plate 8. A motor 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom plate 8. The output end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 5. A rubber sealing layer is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate 4 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 8.
[0027] In practical use, first pour the feed to be fed into the feed cylinder 1 and seal it. Put it into the water and let it sink to the bottom naturally. When feeding is needed, start the motor 10 to drive the transmission rod 5 to rotate, so that the movable plate 6 rotates. When the storage cylinder 7 overlaps with the discharge pipe 2, the feed inside the discharge pipe 2 enters the storage cylinder 7 under the action of gravity. The inner diameter of the discharge pipe 2 is smaller than that of the storage cylinder 7, which facilitates feeding. Continue to start the motor 10, and the movable plate 6 rotates to make the storage cylinder 7 and the discharge pipe 2 misaligned. The movable plate 6 is in close contact with the top plate 4, which can produce good sealing. When the storage cylinder 7 rotates to the notch 9, the feed can be released to achieve the effect of underwater feeding. The upper surface of the bottom plate 8 is fixedly connected with a rubber sealing layer, which can ensure the seal between the bottom plate 8 and the storage cylinder 7. The thickness of the sealing layer of the bottom plate 8 is smaller than that of the top plate 4, so the sealing between the bottom plate 8 and the storage cylinder 7 is less than that between the movable plate 6 and the top plate 4. When the pressure inside the feed cylinder 1 is too high, it can be released through the connection between the storage cylinder 7 and the bottom plate 8, and some water can be discharged.
[0028] In this embodiment, a support leg 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the vertical plate 3, and a counterweight plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support leg 11.
[0029] In actual use, the support leg 11 provides stable support, and the counterweight plate 12 has a certain weight, which makes it easy for the feeding device to sink to the bottom of the water.
[0030] In this embodiment, an L-shaped plate 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the lower surface of the base plate 8 near the notch 9, and a material groove 14 is provided on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate 13.
[0031] In practical use, when the feed passes through the opening 9, it can naturally fall into the feed trough 14, making it easier for turtles and tortoises to eat and reducing the spread of feed and pollution of the water.
[0032] In this embodiment, a sealing cap 15 is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the material cylinder 1, and a protective chamber 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the material cylinder 1.
[0033] In practical use, after opening the sealing cover 15, it is convenient to add feed into the feed cylinder 1. The protective chamber 16 protects the large sprocket 19 and prevents feed blockage.
[0034] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 17 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective chamber 16. One end of the connecting rod 17 passes through the inner bottom wall of the protective chamber 16 and extends into the interior of the discharge pipe 2. A spiral blade 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 17.
[0035] In actual use, the large sprocket 19 causes the connecting rod 17 to rotate, thereby causing the spiral blade 18 to rotate, thus preventing blockage at the discharge pipe 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, a large sprocket 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 17, and a chain 20 is attached to the outer surface of the large sprocket 19.
[0037] In practical use, the small sprocket 21 drives the chain 20 to rotate. Through the overlapping effect of the chain 20 and the large sprocket 19, the large sprocket 19 can be driven to rotate the connecting rod 17.
[0038] In this embodiment, one end of the transmission rod 5 penetrates the lower surface of the material cylinder 1 and extends into the interior of the protective chamber 16. A small sprocket 21 is fixedly connected to the top end of the transmission rod 5, and the small sprocket 21 overlaps with the chain 20.
[0039] In practical use, the rotation of the transmission rod 5 and the protective chamber 16 facilitates the rotation of the small sprocket 21.
[0040] Working Principle: During use, the feed to be fed is first poured into the feed cylinder 1 and sealed. It is then placed in water and sinks naturally to the bottom. When feeding is needed, the motor 10 is started, driving the transmission rod 5 to rotate, causing the movable plate 6 to rotate. When the storage cylinder 7 overlaps with the discharge pipe 2, the feed inside the discharge pipe 2 enters the storage cylinder 7 under gravity. The inner diameter of the discharge pipe 2 is smaller than that of the storage cylinder 7, facilitating feeding. The motor 10 is then started again, and the movable plate 6 rotates, causing the storage cylinder 7 and the discharge pipe 2 to misalign. The movable plate 6 is tightly fitted with the top plate 4, creating a good seal. When the storage cylinder 7 rotates to the opening 9, the feed is released, achieving underwater feeding. Furthermore, the discharge pipe 2 is long enough, and the spiral blade 18 is a certain distance from the bottom of the discharge pipe 2, making the bottom of the discharge pipe 2 hollow. After the feed enters the storage cylinder 7, excess water overflows upwards into the discharge pipe 2, allowing the pressure difference to be released when the movable plate 6 rotates, facilitating normal feed discharge. After the feed in the feeding device is completely emptied, the motor 10 is restarted when the feeding device is removed from the water, causing the water inside the discharge pipe 2 to flow out. When the motor 10 starts, it drives the transmission rod 5 to rotate, causing the small sprocket 21 to drive the chain 20 to rotate. Through the overlapping effect of the chain 20 and the large sprocket 19, the large sprocket 19 can be driven to rotate the connecting rod 17, thereby rotating the spiral blade 18. This prevents blockage at the discharge pipe 2. Furthermore, the large sprocket 19 and the small sprocket 21 have different diameters, resulting in a corresponding speed ratio, allowing the connecting rod 17 to rotate slowly, ensuring a small and continuous output of feed, and providing a smoother feeding experience.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
