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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic feeding device for aquaculture, comprising a support base 1 for supporting the overall device. A fixing rod 2 for supporting the rotation of a feeding trough 3 on the left side is fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the support base 1. A feeding trough 3 for accommodating feed is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod 2. A fixing component 5 for preventing the rotating rod 41 from rotating arbitrarily during daily use is provided on the right surface of the support base 1. A cleaning component 4 for cleaning the inner wall of the feeding trough 3 is provided on the right surface of the feeding trough 3. The cleaning component 4 includes a rotating rod 41 for driving the feeding trough 3 to rotate. The outer wall of the rotating rod 41 penetrates and is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the support base 1. A fixing plate 410 for enhancing the connection between the rotating rod 41 and the rack plate 42 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 41. The fixing plate 410 is located away from the rotating rod 41. A rack plate 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the feeding trough 3, which drives the gear 49 to rotate by its own rotation. A support rod 45 is rotatably connected to the left surface of the rotating rod 41 to support the connecting rod 412. Connecting rods 412 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the rear surface of the support rod 45 to connect the support rod 45 and the support block 46. A support block 46 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the connecting rod 412 to support the rotation of the brush rod 47. A brush rod 47 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support block 46 to clean the feeding trough 3 by its own rotation. A gear 49 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the brush rod 47 to cooperate with the rack plate 42 to realize the rotation of the brush rod 47. The gear 49 meshes with the rack plate 42, so that the gear 49 rotates when the rack plate 42 rotates. A sliding groove 411 is opened on the right surface of the feeding trough 3 to support the sliding of the brush rod 47.

[0032] Reference Figures 3-5 The left surface of the fixed rod 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the support base 1. The left surface of the rack plate 42 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the feeding trough 3. The left surface of the support rod 45 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the fixed rod 2. The outer wall of the brush rod 47 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough 3. The left surface of the rotating rod 41 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the feeding trough 3. The upper surface of the support base 1 is fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the support plate 6 for supporting the feed pipe 7. The inner wall of the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 7 for filling the feed hopper 8. The feed hopper 8 for automatically feeding the feed trough 3 is installed in the middle of the feed pipe 7. The outer right side of the support rod 45 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 48 for preventing feed from flowing out along the chute 411 by blocking the chute 411. The outer wall of the brush rod 47 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear side of the baffle plate 48.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3A rotating disk 43 for driving the rotating rod 41 to rotate is fixedly connected to the right surface of the rotating rod 41. A handle 44 for making it easier for the operator to rotate the rotating disk 43 and making the process more effortless is fixedly connected to the right surface of the rotating disk 43 near the outer side. The rack plate 42 is set in an arc shape so that the rack plate 42 matches the rotation trajectory of the feeding trough 3. The fixing component 5 includes a protective box 51 for protecting the internal structure. The left surface of the protective box 51 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the support base 1. The inner wall of the protective box 51 is slidably connected to a plug 52 for inserting into the inner wall of the rotating rod 41 to fix the rotating rod 41. The outer wall of the plug 52 is inserted into the inner wall of the rotating rod 41. The upper surface of the plug 52 is fixedly connected to a pull plate 53 for making it easier for the operator to move the plug 52. The outer wall of the pull plate 53 passes through and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective box 51. The protective box 51 and the plug 52 are elastically connected by a return spring 54 for continuously supporting the plug 52 during daily use and automatically resetting after the plug 52 moves.

[0034] Working principle: In daily use, feed is filled into the feed pipe 7, which collects inside the feeding hopper 8 and is then fed into the feeding trough 3, achieving automatic feeding. After prolonged use, dirt accumulates on the inner wall of the feeding trough 3. At this time, the handle 44 can be gripped and rotated. The rotation of the handle 44 drives the rotating disc 43 to rotate, simultaneously driving the rotating rod 41 to rotate. The movement of the rotating rod 41 causes the fixed plate 410 to be stressed, driving the rack plate 42. Because the rack plate 42 is fixedly connected to the feeding trough 3, and the rotating rod 41 is also fixedly connected to the feeding trough 3, the feeding trough 3 is fed with the fixed rod 2 as the feeder. The center begins to swing. At this time, because gear 49 and rack plate 42 mesh with each other, the movement of rack plate 42 causes gear 49 to start rotating. This allows the brush rod 47 to rotate and clean the inner wall of the feeding trough 3 while the feeding trough 3 is rotating. After cleaning, the pull plate 53 can be pulled. The movement of pull plate 53 drives the insertion block 52 to move. At this time, the return spring 54 is compressed. When the rotating rod 41 rotates to the level of the feeding trough 3, the pull plate 53 is released. Under the action of the return spring 54, the pull plate 53 is inserted into the inner wall of the rotating rod 41, so that the rotating rod 41 is fixed, thereby achieving stable fixation of the feeding trough 3.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
