Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Litopenaeus vannamei breeding technology, and in particular to a timed feeding device for Litopenaeus vannamei breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Litopenaeus vannamei generally refers to the whiteleg shrimp, a species of shrimp belonging to the family Penaeidae in the order Decapoda. Also known as white shrimp or white prawn, the whiteleg shrimp has a thin carapace, a light bluish-gray body color, and small spots on its surface. The tip of its rostrum does not extend beyond the second segment of the first antennal peduncle; the lateral groove of the rostrum is short and disappears below the gastric spine; the cephalothorax is relatively short and has hepatic and gill spines; the fourth to sixth abdominal segments have a dorsal ridge; the telson has a central groove but lacks lateral spines. When processing Litopenaeus vannamei, it is usually necessary to use Litopenaeus vannamei for breeding.
[0003] In the breeding process of Litopenaeus vannamei, manual feeding is usually required. However, the feeding process usually needs to be carried out at fixed times, which requires staff to feed the shrimp at fixed times and locations, which is a waste of labor and not convenient for automatic feeding at fixed times, thus hindering the breeding of Litopenaeus vannamei. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a timed feeding device for Litopenaeus vannamei breeding, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A timed feeding device for breeding Litopenaeus vannamei includes a box body. A mounting frame is installed on the top of the box body via a sliding mechanism. A moving plate and an L-shaped plate are installed on one side of the mounting frame via a moving mechanism. A feeding hopper is fixedly installed on the top of the moving plate. A discharging mechanism is provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper. A protective shell is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the L-shaped plate. A dispersing mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the protective shell. A limiting mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the mounting frame.
[0007] Preferably, the sliding mechanism includes an electric slide rail fixedly mounted on the top of the housing, a slider slidably mounted on the surface of the electric slide rail, and the top of the slider and the bottom of the mounting bracket being fixedly mounted.
[0008] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a first motor fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame, a lead screw fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor, a moving block threaded onto the surface of the lead screw, one side of the moving block and one side of the moving plate being fixedly installed, and the bottom of the moving block and the top of the L-shaped plate being fixedly installed.
[0009] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a discharge pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed hopper, and a valve is provided on the surface of the discharge pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the bulk material handling mechanism includes a second motor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective shell, a rotating rod fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor, and a rotating cone fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove formed in the inner wall of the mounting frame, a limiting block is slidably installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the bottom of the limiting block and the top of the moving block are fixedly installed.
[0012] Preferably, a filter plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing, and the number of electric slide rails and sliders is two sets and they are arranged symmetrically.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This timed feeding device for Litopenaeus vannamei breeding stores feed in the hopper and discharges the feed through the discharge mechanism, thus feeding the Litopenaeus vannamei inside the box. The feed is dispersed by the dispersing mechanism, making the feed more evenly distributed. The range of feed dispersion can be increased or decreased by adjusting the speed of the second motor.
