Description
Technical Field

[0002] In aquaculture, feeding is a crucial step that directly affects the growth rate, health status, and profitability of fish. Currently, feeding is mostly done through feeders. However, during feeding, various feeds often need to be mixed. When the feed is stored in the storage bin, it is prone to clumping due to external moisture. This can cause the feed to become blocked and difficult to fall during subsequent feedings, resulting in intermittent feeding, reduced feeding efficiency, and decreased feeding uniformity, which in turn affects the growth rate of fish. Therefore, a continuous feeding device for aquaculture is proposed. Utility Model Content

By incorporating a stirring component, specifically, the rotation of the drive rod drives the gear to revolve. Simultaneously, the gear's revolve, through the action of the gear ring, drives the stirring blades to rotate. The simultaneous rotation and revolve of the stirring blades stirs the feed inside the storage bin, solving the problem of feed clumping due to external moisture when stored in the bin. This clumping leads to blockages during subsequent feeding, causing intermittent feeding, reducing the feeding efficiency and uniformity, and negatively impacting fish growth.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model is a continuous feeding device for aquaculture, including a hull 111, a feeder 112 installed on the top of the hull 111, a storage bin 113 above the feeder 112, an electric valve 115 installed at the connection between the feeder 112 and the storage bin 113, a support frame 116 welded to the outside of the storage bin 113, the bottom of the support frame 116 welded to the top of the hull 111, and an opening and closing plate 114 connected to the front of the storage bin 113; it also includes a feeding section 2, which is installed inside the storage bin 113 and serves to continuously and stably feed the feed inside the storage bin 113; and a walking section 3, which is installed at the bottom of the feeder 112 and serves to move the feeder. The hull 111 is... The equipment is constructed of lightweight materials and has a waterproof and corrosion-resistant coating on the exterior of the hull 111. The feeding section 2 includes a drive assembly 21 connected to the inside of the storage bin 113. The drive assembly 21 provides power for the feeding process. A stirring assembly 22, connected to the drive assembly 21, is used to stir and mix the feed inside the storage bin 113, reducing clumping. The drive assembly 21 provides power to the stirring assembly 22, which in turn agitates the feed inside the storage bin 113, improving the continuous feeding efficiency. The traveling section 3 includes a moving assembly 31 installed inside the hull 111. The moving component 31 serves to move the equipment, enabling large-area feeding. The extension component 32 is connected to the moving component 31. Activating the extension component 32 improves the stability of the equipment. Activating the extension component 32 drives the moving component 31, facilitating adjustments based on different center of gravity points and reducing tilting. The drive component 21 includes a motor 211, the bottom of which is welded to the top of the storage silo 113. A rotating shaft 212 is connected inside the storage silo 113. The bottom output of the motor 211 is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 212 via a coupling. A drive rod 213 is welded to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 212, allowing for rotatable connection between the outer surface of the rotating shaft 212 and the inside of the storage silo 113. A rotating shaft 212 passes through the storage silo 113 and extends into it. A drive rod 213 is located at the top inside the storage silo 113. The stirring assembly 22 includes a gear ring 225. The outer ring of the gear ring 225 is welded to the inner wall of the storage silo 113. A gear 224 is connected to the inner ring of the gear ring 225. A connecting rod 223 is welded inside the gear 224. Several stirring blades 222 are connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 223. A turbulence-inducing filament 221 is provided at the bottom inside the storage silo 113. The bottom end of the turbulence-inducing filament 221 is welded to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 212. The drive rod 213 is located at the bottom of the gear 224. The side of the drive rod 213 away from the rotating shaft 212 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 223. During the rotation of the drive rod 213, it will drive the gear 224 to revolve.As gear 224 revolves, it drives the mixing blades 222 to rotate via the gear ring 225. The rotation and revolution of the mixing blades 222 simultaneously agitate the feed inside the storage hopper 113, improving feed mixing and reducing the likelihood of feed clumping and difficulty in feeding. This significantly improves the stable feeding effect and uniformity of the equipment. Furthermore, the rotation of shaft 212 also drives the turbulence-dispersing filaments 221 to agitate the feed, reducing feed accumulation and blockage at the bottom of the storage hopper 113, further enhancing the stable feeding effect and improving the overall efficiency of the equipment. To ensure continuous feeding performance, the moving component 31 includes a second motor 312, which is welded to the right side of the hull 111 on the left. A worm gear 313 is rotatably connected inside the hull 111. The left output end of the second motor 312 is connected to the right side of the worm gear 313 via a coupling. Worm wheels 314 are connected to both the left and right sides of the outer surface of the worm gear 313. Rotating rods 315 are welded inside both worm wheels 314. Four waterwheels 311 are installed outside the hull 111. The extension component 32 includes a third motor 321, whose back is welded to the front of the hull 111. A [missing information - likely a device or component] is installed below the worm gear 313. The bidirectional threaded rod 322 is connected to the front of the motor 321 via a coupling at its rear output end. Drive rods 323 are connected to both the front and back of the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 322. Sleeves 324 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the two drive rods 323. Several sleeves 324 have internal grooves 325, and protrusions 326 are slidably connected within each groove 325. The internal surfaces of the grooves 325 are adapted to the outer surfaces of the protrusions 326. The sides of the sleeves 324 that are furthest from each other are welded to the inside of the water turbine 311. Sealing rings are installed at the connection points between the sleeve 324 and the hull 111. The starting motor 321 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 322 to rotate forward. As the bidirectional threaded rod 322 rotates, it causes the two drive rods 323 to move away from each other. During this movement, the sleeve 324 moves along with the hull. This movement of the sleeve 324 then drives the water turbine 311 to move, extending the water turbine 311 and increasing the contact area between the equipment and the water surface. This significantly improves the stability of the equipment, reduces the likelihood of tilting, and further enhances its stable operation.
[0037] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the operator first opens the opening and closing plate 114, then adds feed into the storage bin 113 and closes the opening and closing plate 114. Simultaneously, the support frame 116, welded to the hull 111, provides support for the storage bin 113. When feeding is required in the aquaculture area, the electric valve 115 is first opened, then the motor 211 is started to drive the rotating shaft 212 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 212 drives the drive rod 213 to rotate as well. During the rotation of the drive rod 213, the gear 224 revolves. Simultaneously, the gear 224 rotates on its own axis through the action of the gear ring 225. At this time, the rotation of the gear 224 will... Rod 223 drives the stirring blades 222 to rotate. While the stirring blades 222 rotate on their own axis and revolve around the center, they stir the feed inside the storage bin 113, improving the feed mixing effect and reducing the situation where the feed clumps and is difficult to feed. This greatly improves the stable feeding effect of the equipment and enhances the feeding uniformity. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 212, it also drives the turbulence filament 221 to rotate. While the turbulence filament 221 rotates, it stirs the feed, reducing the situation where the feed accumulates and blocks at the bottom of the storage bin 113. This further improves the stable feeding effect of the equipment and enhances the continuous feeding performance of the equipment. When the feed enters the feeder 112, it is discharged, thus realizing the feeding of the aquaculture water area.
[0038] Simultaneously, during the feeding process, motor 312 can be started to drive the worm 313 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 313 will drive the two worm wheels 314 to rotate together. The rotation of the two worm wheels 314 will drive the two rotating rods 315 to rotate. When the two rotating rods 315 rotate, they will drive the sleeve 324 to rotate through the action of the sliding groove 325 and the protruding strip 326. At this time, when the two sleeves 324 rotate, they will drive the four waterwheels 311 to rotate, thus realizing the movement of the hull 111, facilitating feeding to various parts of the aquaculture area. When the feed storage bin 113 contains a large amount of feed, the center of gravity of the equipment will be too high, affecting the stability of the hull 111. At this time, motor 321 can be started to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 322 to rotate. When the bidirectional threaded rod 322 rotates, it drives the two drive rods 323 to move away from each other. During this process, the two drive rods 323 move away from each other, which in turn drives the sleeve 324 to move together. At this time, the sleeve 324 slides on the outer surface of the protrusion 326 through the action of the sliding groove 325. When the sleeve 324 moves, it drives the water wheel 311 to move together, which extends the water wheel 311, increases the contact area between the equipment and the water, greatly improves the stability of the equipment, reduces the possibility of tilting, and further improves the stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the sleeve 324 and the hull 111, and protective covers are provided on the outside of the motor 312 and the motor 321 to provide a certain degree of waterproofing.
