Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fish fry breeding technology, and in particular relates to a feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Fish fry farming is the process of raising fish fry into edible or release-ready fingerlings. Fish fry are delicate, have poor adaptability to their environment, a narrow diet, and weak initiative in feeding, making them prone to mortality and predation. Therefore, they must be carefully fed and managed in a small, artificially controlled body of water to grow into robust fingerlings of a certain size. Fry rearing is a crucial step in fish farming.
[0003] Fish fry rearing requires feeding the rearing ponds. The common method is for workers to manually scatter feed into the ponds, but this is inefficient, labor-intensive, and results in uneven feed distribution. Therefore, a feeding device is needed to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a feeding device.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0006] A feeding device includes a guide rod and a threaded rod, the guide rod and the threaded rod being arranged parallel to each other. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and a driven gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the side of the threaded sleeve. A movable frame is mounted on the side of the driven gear, the movable frame being rotatably connected to the driven gear, and the movable frame being slidably connected to the guide rod. The threaded rod passes through the movable frame without the two contacting each other. A motor and a hopper are mounted on the movable frame.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the output end of the motor is equipped with a rotating shaft, on which a feeding wheel and a driving gear are mounted, and the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the hopper is connected to a discharge port, the lower end of the discharge port is connected to a spreading groove, and the feeding wheel is located inside the spreading groove.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a valve plate is installed inside the discharge port to regulate the flow rate at the discharge port.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a cover is installed on the upper side of the material spreading trough, and a material spreading port is provided on the side of the cover.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the feeding wheel is provided with a plurality of feeding plates arranged in a circumferential array.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, both ends of the guide rod and the threaded rod are equipped with brackets.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the guide rod extends through the interior of the movable frame.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the number of teeth on the driving gear is less than the number of teeth on the driven gear. Compared with the prior art, this invention has the following advantages:
[0015] This invention utilizes a motor that drives a rotating shaft, which in turn drives a feeding wheel and a drive gear to rotate synchronously. The drive gear then drives a driven gear, which in turn drives a threaded sleeve. Under the interaction force between the threaded sleeve and the threaded rod, the threaded sleeve and the threaded rod move relative to each other, causing the threaded sleeve to move along the threaded rod. This, in turn, moves the moving frame synchronously, thus moving the hopper. Simultaneously, the rotating feeding wheel distributes the feed from the spreading trough into the aquaculture pond, achieving simultaneous feeding and movement, resulting in more even feed distribution and higher feeding efficiency.

[0021] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientational structure and operation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a feeding device, including a guide rod 2 and a threaded rod 3, which are arranged parallel to each other on the side of aquaculture pond 1. Supports 5 are installed at both ends of the guide rod 2 and the threaded rod 3, and the supports 5 are fixed to the ground. A threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 3. A driven gear 12 is coaxially fixedly connected to the side of the threaded sleeve 13, and a movable frame 4 is installed on the side of the driven gear 12. The movable frame 4 is rotatably connected to the driven gear 12 and slidably connected to the guide rod 2, with the guide rod 2 penetrating the interior of the movable frame 4. The threaded rod 3 penetrates the movable frame 4 but the two do not contact each other.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a motor 6 and a hopper 7 are mounted on the moving frame 4. A rotating shaft 15 is mounted on the output end of the motor 6. A feeding wheel 11 and a drive gear 14 are mounted on the rotating shaft 15. The drive gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 12. When the motor 6 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding wheel 11 and the drive gear 14 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the drive gear 14 drives the driven gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded sleeve 13 to rotate. Under the interaction force between the threaded sleeve 13 and the threaded rod 3, the threaded sleeve 13 and the threaded rod 3 move relative to each other, thereby causing the threaded sleeve 13 to move along the threaded rod 3, thus driving the moving frame 4 to move synchronously.
[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hopper 7 is used to load feed. A feed inlet 8 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 7, and a feeding trough 9 is connected to the lower end of the feed inlet 8. A feeding wheel 11 is located inside the feeding trough 9. A valve plate 10 is installed inside the feed inlet 8 to regulate the flow rate. Multiple feeding plates arranged in a circular array are provided on the outer side of the feeding wheel 11. A trough cover is installed on the upper side of the feeding trough 9, and a feeding port is provided on the side of the trough cover. When the feeding wheel 11 rotates, the feed in the feeding trough 9 is fed out through the feeding port.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, the number of teeth on the driving gear 14 is less than the number of teeth on the driven gear 12. Therefore, the rotational speed of the driven gear 12 is less than the rotational speed of the driving gear 14. Similarly, the rotational speed of the driven gear 12 is less than that of the feed-distributing wheel 11. During the feeding process, to ensure that each position in the aquaculture pond 1 receives sufficient feed, the moving speed of the moving frame 4 cannot be too high, while the rotational speed of the feed-distributing wheel 11 needs to be relatively high to ensure the feeding speed and feeding distance. Therefore, the rotational speed of the driven gear 12 is set to be less than that of the feed-distributing wheel 11.
[0027] In this embodiment, when the motor 6 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding wheel 11 and the driving gear 14 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the driving gear 14 drives the driven gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded sleeve 13 to rotate. Under the interaction force between the threaded sleeve 13 and the threaded rod 3, the threaded sleeve 13 and the threaded rod 3 move relative to each other, causing the threaded sleeve 13 to move along the threaded rod 3, thereby driving the moving frame 4 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the hopper 7 to move. At the same time, the rotation of the feeding wheel 11 scatters the feed in the spreading trough 9 into the breeding pond 1, thus realizing feeding while moving, and making the feed delivery more uniform.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
