Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a feeding device suitable for small-scale aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Compared with traditional pond aquaculture, small-scale greenhouse aquaculture allows for better control of water quality and bottom sediment. At the same time, the relatively closed aquaculture environment greatly reduces the probability of farmed animals contracting external infectious diseases and epidemics. Even if an outbreak occurs, the losses can be controlled within one or a few ponds, unlike in large open-field ponds where a problem in one pond can affect the entire aquaculture operation for the year.

[0003] Currently, small-scale aquaculture generally uses manual feeding. Personnel walk along the feed bridge set up in the center of the small shed and roughly evenly scatter the feed on both sides of the feed bridge. This is because small-scale aquaculture ponds generally adopt a long and narrow structure, while traditional feeding machines often use a fan-shaped or circular feeding range, which cannot be well matched with small sheds.

[0004] Traditional manual feeding is labor-intensive, increasing labor costs and posing safety hazards such as falls and drowning. In addition, manual feeding results in poor uniformity of feed, which can lead to competition among animals in areas with high feed density, promoting feed breakage and dissolution, and resulting in feed waste.

[0005] To address these issues and optimize the feeding process, some mobile feeding vehicles have emerged on the market. However, these vehicles currently use a rotating spreading disc for fan-shaped feeding from both sides, resulting in some feed impacting the disc's baffles and causing a high breakage rate. Furthermore, the control systems of these vehicles lack integration with cameras and other equipment within the shed, making the feedback on the equipment's operational performance insufficiently intuitive.

[0006] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a feeding device suitable for small-scale greenhouse farming, comprising: a feeding vehicle, the feeding vehicle including: a vehicle body 2, a feed bin 3, a power axle 4, two drive wheels 5, one or more driven wheels 6, and a feeding device. The power axle 4 is located at the bottom of the vehicle body 2, the two drive wheels 5 are respectively located on both sides of the power axle 4, the driven wheels 6 are located at the bottom of the vehicle body 2, the feed bin 3 is located above the vehicle body 2, and the bottom of the feed bin 3 has one or more discharge ports 11; the feeding device includes a feeding motor 8, a rotating shaft 9, and one or more spiral blades 10; the rotating shaft 9 passes through the feed bin 3 and is connected to the output end of the feeding motor 8; the spiral blades 10 are located on the rotating shaft 9 and rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 9 to push the feed to the discharge port 11.

[0037] More specifically, the bottom of the hopper 3 is provided with a discharge hole, and the discharge port 11 is located below the discharge hole.

[0038] In one alternative embodiment, the number of driven wheels 6 is two.

[0039] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each of the discharge ports 11 is provided with a blower 12 on one side for blowing the feed at the corresponding discharge port 11.

[0040] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are two discharge ports 11 and two spiral blades 10, and they correspond one to one. The two discharge ports 11 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the vehicle body 2. The two spiral blades 10 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 9, and rotate in opposite directions. When the rotating shaft 9 rotates, the two spiral blades 10 push the feed in the hopper 3 toward the left and right discharge ports 11.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the phase angle between the two spiral blades 10 is 60°-120°, allowing the two discharge ports 11 to discharge material alternately, better simulating manual feeding. Specifically, due to the phase angle, the feed falls into the two discharge ports 11 at different times, and the two sides discharge material in turn, simulating the action of manually feeding a small-scale aquaculture pond.

[0042] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feeding device suitable for small-scale aquaculture also includes a track 1, on which the feeding vehicle is positioned and moves. It should be noted that the track 1 is not limited to a straight line; in some alternative embodiments, the track 1 is also configured to be curved, allowing it to span multiple ponds and / or land during application.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a sensor 13 is provided at the front and rear of the vehicle body, and a limit block 17 is provided at each end of the track 1, for sensing and controlling the feeding vehicle to move back and forth on the track 1. That is, when the sensor 13 senses the limit block 17, it means that the vehicle body has reached the end of the track 1, triggering the power bridge 4 to rotate, causing the feeding vehicle to move in the opposite direction.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the track 1 is composed of round steel pipes, pipe clamps, and perforated flat steel bars. The round steel pipes, pipe clamps, and perforated flat steel bars are all standard parts, which facilitates the assembly, expansion, and maintenance of the track 1.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, both the track 1 and the power bridge 4 are 30cm wide, which can better adapt to the narrow feed bridge in the small shed breeding pond and facilitate installation and fixation.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle body is also equipped with a battery compartment 7, which contains a battery for supplying power to the power axle 4, the spreading motor 8 and the fan 12.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a control board 14 is provided on the vehicle body 2 for controlling the operation of the power axle 4, the spreading motor 8, and / or the fan 12. Specifically, the start / stop, running speed, and spreading speed of the power axle 4 and the spreading motor 8 can be programmed through the control board 14.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the vehicle body 2 is also equipped with an IoT antenna 15 for connecting to an IoT system to remotely control the power axle 4 and the feeding motor 8. More specifically, the IoT antenna 15 can communicate with a remote control terminal (such as a mobile phone or computer) and can also form an IoT system with monitoring devices inside the shed (such as cameras, dissolved oxygen probes, etc.). The monitoring devices can acquire environmental information inside the shed and feed it back to the remote control terminal. The remote terminal can then manually or programmatically control the operation of the feeding vehicle based on the information obtained from the monitoring devices.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the silo 3 is provided with a silo cover 16 to seal the silo 3 and prevent the feed inside the silo 3 from getting damp, clumping and deteriorating.

[0050] In application, track 1 is set on the feed bridge of the small-scale aquaculture pond, and the feeding vehicle is placed on track 1. The start button on the vehicle body 2 is pressed, and the battery in the battery compartment 7 begins to supply power. The operating cycle, operating speed, feeding speed, and number of round trips are set on the control board 14 or remote control terminal. Then, the vehicle is started. The power bridge 4 drives the drive wheel 5, moving the vehicle body 2 forward along track 1. When it reaches the end of the track, the sensor 13 at the front of the vehicle body 2 detects the limit block 17, controlling the power bridge 4 to reverse, driving the vehicle body 2 to move in the opposite direction, completing the turnaround. When the number of round trips or the operating time of the feeding vehicle reaches the set value, the feeding vehicle stops. Alternatively, on-site personnel can manually control the direction of travel of the feeding vehicle by pressing the start buttons on the front and rear sides of the vehicle body 2 or through a remote terminal, or by pressing the stop button on the vehicle body 2 to stop the feeding vehicle.

[0051] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model will have the following beneficial effects:

[0052] 1. The feed is automatically spread by a mobile feeding vehicle, which imitates and replaces manual feeding. It has a high degree of automation and is better suited to long ponds than traditional fan-shaped or circular feeding, resulting in more even feeding. The feeding device uses a spiral blade 10-push method, which has a low breakage rate.

[0053] 2. In the preferred embodiment, a two-sided feeding structure is adopted to realize feeding from both sides, simulating manual feeding, and improving feeding efficiency at the same time;

[0054] 3. In the preferred embodiment, the blower 12 is used to blow air to assist the feed to flow out of the discharge port 11, so as to avoid the feed from colliding with the baffle and other structures, which can better disperse the feed and significantly reduce the feed breakage rate.

[0055] 4. In the preferred embodiment, track 1 is set to guide the feeding vehicle to ensure the stability of the feeding vehicle's running trajectory. The track is composed of standard sections, which facilitates assembly, expansion and maintenance.

[0056] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
