Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent feeding device for grouper farming. Background Technology
[0002] Grouper is a general term for fish belonging to several genera in the family Serranidae of the order Perciformes. Grouper has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi. The nutrients in the collagen of the fish skin play a certain role in enhancing the integrity of epithelial tissue growth and promoting collagen cell synthesis. It is a high-quality edible fish with low fat and high protein. When raising grouper, staff need to regularly scatter fish food in the breeding pond.
[0003] According to patent publication number CN216874542U, a fish farming feeding device, relating to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, includes a lead screw, a guide rod, a rack, a feed storage device, a compressed air source, and a discharging device. The two ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to a first support leg and are driven by a first drive device. The two ends of the guide rod are connected to a second support leg and are parallel to the lead screw. One end of the rack is threaded to the lead screw via a lead screw nut, and the other end of the rack has a sliding hole and is slidably connected to the guide rod through the sliding hole. The discharging device is mounted on the rack and has a second drive device. A gear is mounted on the output shaft of the second drive device, meshing with the rack. Driving the gear through the second drive device causes the discharging device to move along the length of the rack. The discharging device is connected to the feed storage device via a conveying pipe, and the end of the conveying pipe near the feed storage device is also connected to the compressed air source. This invention provides uniform feed dispensing, promotes fish growth, and saves labor costs.
[0004] The above describes the feeding device for grouper farming. Usually, the fish food is directly scattered into the breeding pond through fixed feeding, which easily leads to the fish food being concentrated in a certain area, resulting in fierce competition among the fish. Some fish cannot get enough food in time, thus affecting the overall feeding effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems in the existing technology, such as the fixed feeding method easily leading to the fish food being concentrated in a certain area and poor feeding effect, and to propose an intelligent feeding device for grouper farming.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an intelligent feeding device for grouper farming, comprising a pond body, wherein floats are arranged in an array inside the pond body, an impeller is installed inside the floats, a rotating rod is provided on the top of the floats, and the impeller is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod, a feeding structure is provided on the top surface of the floats, the feeding structure includes a feeding frame, a feeding box is fixed on the top surface of the feeding frame, a feeding wheel is provided at the outlet of the end of the feeding box, a feeding cylinder is installed at the interface on the side of the feeding box, and a control box is bolted to the front of the pond body.
[0007] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the impeller rotation generates water flow in the aquaculture pond, thereby effectively increasing the dissolved oxygen content in the water and providing oxygenation treatment for the aquaculture pond. At the same time, the fish food can fall on its own during the impeller rotation to complete the feeding, without the need to add separate oxygenation equipment, which improves the functionality of the device and saves the space occupied by the equipment. During feeding, the fish food is slapped into different positions in the fish pond along the direction of impeller rotation, improving the feeding effect.
[0008] Preferably, the top surfaces of the float and the pool body are respectively fixed with support seats in an array, and the rotating rod is located inside the interface of the support seat, and the float is located near the side of the pool body.
[0009] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, multiple floating plates are connected by a support base and a rotating rod connecting shell, and installed at a specified position in the pool.
[0010] Preferably, the feeding frame is U-shaped, and both ends of the feeding frame are attached to the surface of the float plate, and both ends of the feeding frame are fixed to the surface of the float plate.
[0011] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the feeding frame can increase the installation height of the feeding box, so that when the material is discharged from the end outlet of the feeding box, it can fall to the path of the impeller rotation.
[0012] Preferably, the outlet at the end of the feeding box is aligned with the through hole on the top surface of the feeding frame, and the bottom surface of the feeding box is in contact with the top surface of the feeding frame.
[0013] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the fish food is discharged from the outlet at the end of the feeding box and falls down through the feeding frame.
[0014] Preferably, the feeding cylinder is cylindrical and is installed at an angle from top to bottom, with the outlet end of the feeding cylinder fitted into the inside of the feeding box.
[0015] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the feeding cylinder is installed at an angle, so that the bottom part is located outside the pool body, and the height is low, which makes it convenient for workers of different heights to carry out feeding operations from outside the pool body.
[0016] Preferably, a spiral feeding rod is installed inside the feeding cylinder, one end of which is connected to a feeding motor, and both the feeding motor and the surface connection end of the feeding cylinder are fixed to the surface of the pool.
[0017] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the spiral feeding method transports the fish food inside the feeding cylinder and finally discharges it from the end of the feeding cylinder into the feeding box.
[0018] Preferably, a receiving funnel is connected to the interface on the top surface of the feeding cylinder, and the receiving funnel is threadedly connected to the interface on the top surface of the feeding cylinder.
[0019] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the opening of the receiving funnel gradually decreases in size, which makes it convenient for personnel to pour the required fish food into the receiving funnel and feed it into the feeding box in a spiral feeding manner.
[0020] Beneficial effects
[0021] In this invention, the aeration structure and feeding device are integrated into one unit. The rotating impeller generates water flow in the aquaculture pond, effectively increasing the dissolved oxygen content and providing oxygenation. Simultaneously, the rotating impeller allows fish food to fall naturally, eliminating the need for separate aeration equipment. This enhances the functionality of the device while saving space. Furthermore, the rotating impeller, combined with the feeding structure, distributes the fish food across different locations in the pond using the impeller's blades. This ensures wider distribution of food compared to traditional fixed-location feeding methods, significantly reducing competition among fish, improving feeding efficiency, and preventing food concentration in one area, which can hinder some fish from actively feeding.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific implementation examples:
[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 A smart feeding device for grouper farming includes a pond body 1. Inside the pond body 1, floats 2 are arranged in an array. Impellers 3 are installed inside the floats 2. A rotating rod 4 is located on the top of the floats 2, and the impellers 3 are sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 4. Support seats 5 are fixedly arranged on the top surfaces of the floats 2 and the pond body 1, respectively. The rotating rod 4 is located within the interface of the support seat 5, and the floats 2 are located near the side of the pond body 1. The pond body 1 is a fish pond for grouper farming. The floats 2 are used to install the impellers 3 and the feeding structure 6, combining both into a single device. This allows the device to perform both aeration and feeding functions, improving its functionality. The impellers 3 are located at the opening inside the floats 2. The number of floats 2, impellers 3, and feeding boxes 62 can be increased or decreased according to the size of the pond body 1 or the user's needs. The top surfaces of the pond body 1 and the top surfaces of the floats 2... The support base 5 is used to connect the rotating rod 4. Since the impeller 3 is directly fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 4, when the rotating rod 4 is rotated outside the pool body 1, the impeller 3 can rotate at the water surface position of the pool body 1, so that water flow is generated in the aquaculture pool, thereby effectively increasing the dissolved oxygen content in the water and achieving the effect of oxygenation. The top surface of the float plate 2 is provided with a feeding structure 6. The feeding box 62 is used to store the fish food to be fed. The feeding structure 6 can make the feed or fish food fall from the feeding box 62 into the path of the rotating impeller 3. When the fish food falls to the path of the rotating impeller 3, some of the fish food will be hit by the blades on the surface of the impeller 3 and fall into the pool body 1 in the direction of rotation. At this time, the fish food forms a parabola and is scattered in different positions in the fish pond. The fish food that does not come into contact with the impeller 3 falls naturally into the pool body 1, thereby realizing automatic feeding.
[0031] The feeding structure 6 includes a feeding frame 61, which is U-shaped. Both ends of the feeding frame 61 are attached to the surface of the float 2 and fixed to the surface of the float 2. A feeding box 62 is fixed to the top surface of the feeding frame 61. The outlet at the end of the feeding box 62 is aligned with the through hole on the top surface of the feeding frame 61, and the bottom surface of the feeding box 62 is attached to the top surface of the feeding frame 61. A feeding wheel 63 is provided at the outlet at the end of the feeding box 62. Further explanation: the feeding frame 61 is used to mount the feeding box 62 and other components onto the top surface of the float 2. The feeding box 62 stores... Fish food needs to be fed. The feeding wheel 63 at the outlet of the feeding box 62 can be rotated to discharge the fish food from the outlet to the bottom. The surface of the feeding wheel 63 has grooves arranged in an array. When it rotates, the fish food is located in the grooves and is discharged. The rotating rods at both ends of the feeding wheel 63 are installed at the connection position of the feeding frame 61. Adding a motor and other components can make it rotate to complete the automatic feeding. The feeding frame 61 increases the installation height of the feeding box 62 and is U-shaped to ensure that the fish food can pass through the rotation path of the impeller 3 when it is discharged and falls. When the impeller 3 rotates, it can pat the fish food into different positions of the pool body 1.
[0032] A feeding cylinder 64 is installed at the interface on the side of the feeding box 62. The feeding cylinder 64 is cylindrical and installed at an angle from top to bottom. The outlet end of the feeding cylinder 64 is fitted into the inside of the feeding box 62. A spiral feeding rod 65 is installed inside the feeding cylinder 64. One end of the spiral feeding rod 65 is connected to a feeding motor 67. Both the feeding motor 67 and the surface of the feeding cylinder 64 are fixed to the surface of the pool body 1. A receiving funnel 66 is connected to the interface on the top surface of the feeding cylinder 64, and the receiving funnel 66 is threaded to the interface on the top surface of the feeding cylinder 64. The entire structure is installed near the side of the pool body 1, which facilitates personnel to replenish fish food and allows for easy installation of the device without requiring personnel to enter the pool. There are requirements for the installation height, so in order to facilitate the regular replenishment of fish food, a spiral feeding structure is added to the feeding box 62. The spiral feeding structure consists of a feeding cylinder 64, a spiral feeding rod 65, a receiving funnel 66, and a feeding motor 67. The rotation of the feeding motor 67 drives the spiral feeding rod 65 to rotate inside the feeding cylinder 64. The spiral feeding method can transfer the replenished fish food into the feeding box 62. The opening of the receiving funnel 66 gradually decreases from large to small. When the spiral feeding rod 65 rotates, the personnel can pour the required replenished fish food into the receiving funnel 66. In order to ensure the stability of this structure, a separate support can be added to the feeding cylinder 64 and the feeding motor 67 to fix them to the surface of the pool body 1.
[0033] A control box 7 is bolted to the front of the pool body 1. The control box 7 includes a controller, a signal receiving and transmitting module, and a clock module. The feeding time can be directly set through the components inside the control box 7. According to the growth stage and dietary habits of the grouper, the user sets the specific feeding time and frequency for each day on the controller. For example, feeding three times a day, at 8:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 5:00 pm. When the set time is reached, the controller will send a signal to start the drive of the feeding wheel 63 in the feeding system, causing the feeding wheel 63 to rotate and feed. It is also equipped with a clock module, which can accurately record the time. It can be operated through a mobile APP or other remote control devices. The user can install the corresponding application on the mobile phone or other terminal. No matter where they are, as long as the mobile phone has a network signal, they can remotely set the feeding time at any time. For example, when the farmer is away, he can also remotely adjust the feeding time to 10:00 am and 3:00 pm through the mobile APP, which is convenient and flexible for managing the feeding time, thereby realizing timed remote feeding and achieving intelligent management.
[0034] In summary:
[0035] 1. The float plate 2 is used to connect and install the impeller 3 and the feeding structure 6 together, so that the two are combined to realize the oxygenation and feeding of the device and reduce the footprint of the equipment;
[0036] 2. The feeding structure 6 discharges the fish food in the feeding box 62 by rotating the feeding wheel 63, so that it falls downward through the rotation path of the impeller 3, and the fish food can be patted into different positions in the pool body 1 by the rotation of the impeller 3.
[0037] 3. By using the rotating spiral feeding rod 65, personnel can replenish fish food from outside the pool 1 into the feeding box 62 to complete the feeding operation.
