Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pond aquaculture, specifically to an intelligent quantitative feed dispensing device for pond aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] Feed can be precisely formulated according to the nutritional needs of the farmed species to accelerate the growth cycle. However, existing feed dispensing devices for pond aquaculture still have certain defects. During use, existing feed dispensing devices cannot dispense quantitatively, and overfeeding will result in cost waste, while insufficient feed will slow down the growth of farmed organisms, reducing yield and economic benefits.
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the prior art (Chinese patent with announcement number CN221510669U, announcement date August 13, 2024) provides a feed dispensing device for farmed soft-shelled turtles, including a dispensing box and a main control box located on one side of the dispensing box. Feeding mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the top of the dispensing box, and a stirring mechanism is arranged inside the dispensing box. A quantitative feeding mechanism is arranged below the stirring mechanism. The main control box contains a main control module, a motor drive module, and a timer. The motor drive module and the timer are electrically connected to the main control module. The stirring blades thoroughly stir and mix the feed. The stirred feed falls above a baffle. When a gravity sensor detects that the feed weight reaches a certain value, the gravity sensor transmits the data to the main control module. The main control module controls the first drive motor drive module, thereby stopping the first drive motor. The main control module controls the second drive motor drive module, thereby stopping the second drive motor. The main control module controls the lead screw motor drive module, thereby starting the lead screw motor. The lifting block drives the movable block to move, realizing the opening and closing of the baffle, so that the feed above the baffle enters the discharge port.
[0004] Although the existing technology uses a quantitative feeding method with movable block opening and closing baffles, during operation, because the feed is mostly in the form of granules or clumps, the set mixing mechanism cannot quickly break up the feed, resulting in uneven mixing. This easily causes the feed to accumulate on the surface of the baffle with varying density, leading to a large deviation between the gravity sensor reading and the actual weight. The gravity sensor is installed below the baffle, making it susceptible to the influence of feed debris, and it also increases the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for innovative design based on the existing intelligent quantitative feed dispensing device for pond aquaculture. Therefore, we propose that an intelligent quantitative feed dispensing device for pond aquaculture can effectively solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent quantitative feeding device for pond aquaculture, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the current quantitative feeding method using movable block opening and closing baffles on the market has the following problems: during operation, because the feed is mostly in the form of granules or clumps, the set mixing mechanism cannot quickly disperse the feed, resulting in uneven mixing. This easily causes the feed to accumulate unevenly on the surface of the baffle, resulting in a large deviation between the gravity sensor detection value and the actual weight. The gravity sensor is installed below the baffle, which is easily affected by feed debris, and it also increases the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent quantitative feed dispensing device for pond aquaculture, comprising a support box mounted on an aquaculture pond via a support frame, a feed hopper mounted on the support box via a bracket, a conveying pipe disposed below the feed hopper, a drive motor mounted on the feed hopper, a rotating shaft disposed at the output end of the drive motor, the rotating shaft penetrating and connected inside the feed hopper, a filter frame connected to the outside of the rotating shaft, the filter frame being slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper via a slider, positive and negative screws disposed on the rotating shaft, a lifting block threadedly connected to the outside of the positive and negative screws, a guide rod penetrating and connected inside the lifting block, the guide rod being installed inside the feed hopper, a pressure member disposed on the side end of the lifting block, the pressure member being located directly above the filter frame.
[0008] Preferably, the feed hopper is equipped with a solar panel, and the outside of the rotating shaft is equipped with stirring blades and scrapers.
[0009] Preferably, a dual-axis motor is installed inside the support box, and a driving component is connected to the first output end of the dual-axis motor. The driving component is a transmission structure.
[0010] Preferably, the drive component has a rotating shaft at its end, which extends through the inside of the conveying pipe.
[0011] Preferably, a material distribution component is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft, and a material distribution groove is provided on the outer side of the material distribution component in an annular shape. The material distribution component is located inside the conveying pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the second output end of the dual-axis motor is connected to a spreading disc, which is located on the surface of the support box and directly below the conveying pipe.
[0013] Preferably, the second output end of the dual-axis motor is provided with an auxiliary component, the auxiliary component including a sleeve installed on the second output end of the dual-axis motor, and magnetic blocks are distributed in annular intervals on the outer side of the sleeve.
[0014] Preferably, the second output end of the dual-axis motor is connected to a striking component via a rotating rod, and a torsion spring is provided on the outer side of the rotating rod. After the striking component rotates, it contacts the bottom of the spreading disc, and a magnetic rod adapted to the magnetic block is provided on the inner side of the striking component.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This intelligent quantitative feed dispensing device for pond aquaculture uses an outer slider to rotate the filter frame on the inner wall of the feed hopper. The pressure component on the lifting block squeezes the clumps of feed on the filter frame, facilitating the filtered feed to fall into the feed hopper. The filter frame and the pressure component work together to quickly disperse the feed, which not only reduces the problem of uneven feed accumulation on the baffle surface causing poor accuracy of the gravity sensor, but also facilitates the uniform mixing of the feed later. The specific details are as follows:
[0016] (1) The filter frame rotates on the inner wall of the feed hopper via the outer slider, quickly separating the clumped feed from the qualified particles. The filter frame and the pressure device work together to quickly break up the feed, which not only reduces the problem of uneven feed accumulation on the baffle surface leading to poor accuracy of the gravity sensor, but also makes it easier to mix the feed evenly in the later stage, so that the feed nutrition is uniform.
[0017] (2) The solar panels on the feed hopper not only reduce the operating cost of the device, but also prevent the feed in the feed hopper from deteriorating due to light or moisture. The stirring blades on the outside of the rotating shaft can mix the filtered feed a second time, while the scraper can prevent the feed from sticking to the feed hopper wall, thus avoiding feed waste and residual bacteria growth.
[0018] (3) The first output end of the dual-axis motor is connected to a rotating shaft through a drive component, which makes it easy for the rotating shaft inside the conveying pipe to drive the material distribution component to rotate. The mixed feed is evenly discharged through the material distribution trough on the material distribution component, avoiding fluctuations in the amount of feed due to uneven flow rate, so as to make precise quantitative feeding.
[0019] (4) The second output end of the dual-shaft motor drives the spreading disc to rotate. The centrifugal throwing design of the spreading disc can expand the feed coverage area, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the pond, meet the feeding needs of the cultured organisms, and improve the feed utilization rate.
[0020] (5) The magnetic force of the magnetic block and the magnetic rod makes the striking part rotate through the rotating rod, which makes it easier for the striking part to hit the spreading plate, prevents the feed from sticking to the surface of the spreading plate, ensures that the feed is continuously and stably thrown out, and improves the reliability of the device operation.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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] Example 1: In this example, the filter frame 9 and the pressurizing component 13 work together to quickly disperse the feed, reducing the problem of uneven feed density on the baffle surface causing poor accuracy of the gravity sensor. Figures 1-4The technical solution shown includes a support box 1 mounted on a pond via a support frame. A feed hopper 2 is mounted on the support box 1 via a bracket. A conveying pipe 3 is located below the feed hopper 2. A drive motor 5 is mounted on the feed hopper 2. A rotating shaft 6 is located at the output end of the drive motor 5 and is connected through the inside of the feed hopper 2. A filter frame 9 is connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 6 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper 2 via a slider. A positive and negative screw 10 is mounted on the rotating shaft 6, and a lifting block 11 is threaded to the outside of the positive and negative screw 10. A guide rod 12 is connected through the inside of the lifting block 11 and is installed inside the feed hopper 2. A pressure component 13 is located on the side of the lifting block 11 and is positioned directly above the filter frame 9. The support box 1 is placed on the support frame on the pond. The required feed is then poured into the feed hopper 2, where it falls onto the filter frame 9 and is filtered. The drive motor 5 is then turned on, and the output end of the drive motor 5 is connected through the filter frame 9. The rotating shaft 6 drives the filter frame 9 to rotate. The filter frame 9 rotates on the inner wall of the feed hopper 2 via the outer slider. The filter frame 9 can not only quickly separate clumps of feed from qualified particles, avoiding inconvenience caused by uneven feed, but also reduce the manual pre-processing steps, significantly improving feed processing efficiency. The rotating shaft 6 drives the positive and negative screws 10 to rotate, so that the lifting block 11 on the outside of the positive and negative screws 10 can be raised and lowered with the cooperation of the guide rod 12. The pressure component 13 on the lifting block 11 squeezes the clumps of feed on the filter frame 9, making it easier for the feed to fall into the feed hopper 2 after filtration. The filter frame 9 and the pressure component 13 work together to quickly disperse the feed, which not only reduces the problem of poor gravity sensor accuracy caused by uneven feed accumulation on the baffle surface, but also facilitates uniform mixing of feed in the later stage, making the feed nutritionally uniform, improving output and economic benefits. The overall structure reduces the problem of the gravity sensor being easily affected by feed, which leads to a decrease in accuracy, and reduces maintenance costs and difficulties.
[0032] Example 2: In this example, the mixed feed is evenly discharged through the dispensing trough on the dispensing component 17, and the feed is output stably according to a preset amount, thereby achieving precise quantitative dispensing. Specifically, as follows... Figures 1-5As shown, a solar panel 4 is installed on the feed hopper 2, and stirring blades 7 and scrapers 8 are installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 6. A dual-shaft motor 14 is installed inside the support box 1. The first output end of the dual-shaft motor 14 is connected to a drive component 15. The drive component 15 is a transmission structure, and a rotating shaft 16 is installed at the end of the drive component 15. The rotating shaft 16 passes through the inside of the conveying pipe 3. A material distribution component 17 is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 16, and a material distribution groove is opened in a ring on the outside of the material distribution component 17. The material distribution component 17 is located inside the conveying pipe 3. The solar panel 4 on the feed hopper 2 not only facilitates the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy for use, reducing the operating cost of the device, but also protects the feed hopper 2 by the bracket for installing the solar panel 4, preventing the feed inside the feed hopper 2 from deteriorating due to light or moisture. When the rotating shaft 6 is in use, the stirring blades 7 and scrapers 8 on the outside of the rotating shaft 6 are inside the feed hopper 2. The rotating stirring blade 7 can re-mix the filtered feed to ensure uniform nutrition. The scraper 8 can prevent the feed from sticking to the wall of the feed hopper 2, avoiding feed waste and bacterial growth. The dual-shaft motor 14 inside the support box 1 is opened. The first output end of the dual-shaft motor 14 is connected to the rotating shaft 16 through the drive component 15, so that the rotating shaft 16 passing through the conveying pipe 3 can easily drive the distribution component 17 to rotate. The drive component 15 of this application is a bevel gear vertical drive structure and a belt and pulley transmission structure, which can be easily replaced with the same structure according to cost. The conveying pipe 3 at the bottom of the feed hopper 2 conveys the feed. The valve on the conveying pipe 3 is opened, and the mixed feed is evenly discharged through the distribution trough on the distribution component 17, so as to output the feed stably according to the preset amount and avoid fluctuations in the amount of feed due to uneven flow rate, thereby achieving precise quantitative feeding.
[0033] Example 3: In this example, the magnetic force of the magnetic block 20 and the magnetic rod 22 causes the striking element 21 to rotate via the rotating rod, facilitating the striking element 21 to strike the spreading disc 18, preventing feed from adhering to the surface of the spreading disc 18, and ensuring that the feed is continuously and stably thrown out. Specifically, as follows... Figure 1 and Figures 6-8As shown, the second output end of the dual-axis motor 14 is connected to a spreading disc 18, which is located on the surface of the support box 1 and directly below the conveying pipe 3. An auxiliary component is provided at the second output end of the dual-axis motor 14, including a sleeve 19 installed at the second output end. Magnets 20 are distributed in a ring at intervals on the outer side of the sleeve 19. An impact member 21 is connected to the second output end of the dual-axis motor 14 via a rotating rod, and a torsion spring 23 is provided on the outer side of the rotating rod. After rotation, the impact member 21 contacts the bottom of the spreading disc 18. A magnetic rod 22, compatible with the magnets 20, is provided on the inner side of the impact member 21. The feed discharged through the conveying pipe 3 falls onto the spreading disc 18. When the dual-axis motor 14 rotates, the second output end of the dual-axis motor 14 drives the spreading disc 18 to rotate. The centrifugal throwing design of the 18 can expand the feed coverage area, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the pond, meeting the feeding needs of the cultured organisms and improving feed utilization. The second output end of the dual-shaft motor 14 drives the sleeve 19 to rotate, so that the magnetic block 20 on the outside of the sleeve 19 rotates to the surface of the magnetic rod 22 on the side of the striking member 21. The magnetic force of the magnetic block 20 and the magnetic rod 22 makes the striking member 21 rotate through the rotating rod, which facilitates the striking member 21 to strike the spreading disc 18, prevents the feed from sticking to the surface of the spreading disc 18, and ensures that the feed is continuously and stably thrown out. The torsion spring 23 on the rotating rod of the striking member 21 facilitates the striking member 21 to return to the initial position, reduces the risk of mechanical failure, and improves the reliability of the device operation. The contents not described in detail in this specification are the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
