Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed feeding equipment, and in particular to a feeder. Background Technology

[0002] A feeder is a mechanical device used for automatically or semi-automatically dispensing feed. Feeders are primarily used in aquaculture (such as fishponds, cages, and factory farming) to feed aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp, and crabs. In recent years, they have also been applied in livestock and poultry farming (such as chicken coops and pig farms) and even pet feeding. Pneumatic feeders are mainly used for pond and cage feeding. During operation, a mixture of airflow and feed particles is transported through a conveyor pipe to the feeder, which then dispenses the feed into the pond or cage.

[0003] Current feeding machines use a rotating spreader disc to distribute bait, and the disc's rotation speed determines the distance the bait is thrown. Therefore, to distribute bait within a designated area, the spreader disc needs to rotate at a fixed speed. This results in a fixed amount of bait being distributed per unit time, and the feeding speed cannot be changed. If the feeding speed is too fast, aquatic organisms cannot consume all the bait immediately, and excessive bait remaining submerged in the water for too long will pollute the water. If the feeding speed is too slow, there will be insufficient bait, hindering the growth of aquatic organisms. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above problems by providing a feeding machine that solves the problem that the feeding machine cannot adjust the feeding quantity within a unit of time.

[0005] A feeding machine includes: a feed cylinder, a feeder, a spreading disc, and a driving device. The relative positions of the feed cylinder and the feeder are fixed. A discharge port is formed below the feed cylinder. A first inlet of the feeder is located below the discharge port and is connected to the discharge port. The spreading disc is located below the first outlet of the feeder and is connected to the first outlet. The driving device drives the spreading disc to rotate, and the spreading disc rotates relative to the feeder.

[0006] Preferably, the feeder includes a first housing, a rotating component, and a first motor. The first housing has a first inlet and a first outlet that communicate with the inner cavity, respectively. The rotating component is located in the inner cavity of the first housing and is rotatably connected to the first housing. The rotating component is used to drive the feed into the first outlet. The first motor drives the rotating component to rotate. The first motor is a speed-regulating motor.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating component is a rotating shaft, the rotation axis of the rotating component is a horizontal straight line, and a groove is formed on the side of the rotating component.

[0008] Preferably, the spreading disc includes a cylinder and a spreading tube, a second inlet is formed on the top of the cylinder, the second inlet is connected to the first outlet, the side of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the spreading tube, and the spreading tube is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the side of the cylinder is fixedly connected to multiple spreading tubes, and the length of at least one spreading tube is different from the length of the other spreading tubes.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a funnel, the first outlet of the feeder is fixedly connected to and communicates with the upper end of the funnel, and the lower end of the funnel is inserted into the second inlet of the spreading disc.

[0011] Preferably, the material cylinder includes a cylinder body and a cylinder cover, the cylinder cover being located above the cylinder body and detachably and fixedly connected to the cylinder body, the cylinder cover forming a material inlet, and the material outlet being located at the bottom of the cylinder body.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages: the amount of bait thrown outward per unit time is no longer determined by the rotation speed of the spreading disc, but by changing the rotation speed of the first motor in the feeder, the amount of bait conveyed to the spreading disc per unit time is changed, so that the adjustment range of the feeding speed is larger; since the feeding speed is only adjusted by the feeder, the spreading disc can expand the coverage area of ​​the bait by adjusting the rotation speed.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a feeding machine includes: a feed cylinder 1, a feeder 2, a spreading disc 3, and a driving device 4. The relative positions of the feed cylinder 1 and the feeder 2 are fixed. A discharge port 14 is formed below the feed cylinder 1. The first inlet 211 of the feeder 2 is located below the discharge port 14 and is connected to the discharge port 14. The spreading disc 3 is located below the first outlet 212 of the feeder 2 and is connected to the first outlet 212. The driving device 4 drives the spreading disc 3 to rotate, and the spreading disc 3 rotates relative to the feeder 2.

[0021] During operation, the feeder 2 delivers bait to the spreading disc 3 at a specified speed, and the feeder 2 can change the delivery speed to the spreading disc 3. The spreading disc 3 rotates at a specified speed, spreading bait into a specified annular area.

[0022] Preferably, the feeder 2 includes a first housing 21, a rotating component 22, and a first motor 23. The first housing 21 has a first inlet 211 and a first outlet 212 that communicate with the inner cavity, respectively. The rotating component 22 is located in the inner cavity of the first housing 21 and is rotatably connected to the first housing 21. The rotating component 22 is used to drive the feed into the first outlet 212. The first motor 23 drives the rotating component 22 to rotate. The first motor 23 is a speed-regulating motor. The first motor 23 changes the rotation speed of the output shaft to change the rotation speed of the rotating component 22, thereby changing the feed conveying speed.

[0023] Preferably, the rotating component 22 is a rotating shaft, and the rotation axis of the rotating component 22 is a horizontal straight line. A groove 221 is formed on the side of the rotating component 22. The bait falls into the groove 221 under gravity. After rotating about 180 degrees with the rotating component 22, the bait leaves the groove 221 downward under gravity and then falls downward into the spreading plate 3.

[0024] More preferably, the side of the rotating member 22 is provided with a plurality of grooves 221, which are evenly arranged around the rotating member 22 to make the feeding and discharging of materials more uniform.

[0025] Preferably, the spreading disc 3 includes a cylinder 31 and a spreading pipe 32. A second inlet 33 is formed on the upper part of the cylinder 31, and the second inlet 33 is connected to the first outlet 212. The side of the cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the spreading pipe 32, and the spreading pipe 32 is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder 31. When the spreading disc 3 rotates, the bait is thrown out through the spreading pipe 32 by centrifugal force.

[0026] More preferably, the end of the spreading tube 32 away from the cylinder 31 is inclined upward.

[0027] Preferably, the side of the cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to a plurality of spreading tubes 32, and the length of at least one spreading tube 32 is different from the length of the other spreading tubes 32. The centrifugal force of the spreading tubes 32 of different lengths (radii) is different, so the speed at which the bait leaves the spreading tubes 32 is different. As a result, the radius of the bait thrown out by the spreading tubes 32 of different lengths (radii) after landing or falling into the water is different, thus expanding the coverage area of ​​the bait.

[0028] Preferably, it also includes a funnel 6, the first outlet 212 of the feeder 2 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the upper end of the funnel 6, the lower end of the funnel 6 is inserted into the second inlet 33 of the spreading disc 3, the funnel 6 serves to connect the feeder 2 and the cylinder 31, and the lower opening of the funnel 6 is smaller, which can reduce the diameter of the second inlet 33 of the cylinder 31.

[0029] Preferably, the material cylinder 1 includes a cylinder body 11 and a cylinder cover 12. The cylinder cover 12 is located above the cylinder body 11 and is detachably and fixedly connected to the cylinder body 11. The cylinder cover 12 forms a feed inlet 13, and the discharge outlet 14 is located at the bottom of the cylinder body 11. During operation, the feed inlet 13 can be connected to the conveying pipe 8 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 As shown, the feed in the feed tower 9 is carried by the airflow through the feed pipe 8 into the cylinder 11, so as to achieve long-term and large-volume feeding. When the feed pipe 8 is not in use, the cylinder cover 12 can be opened and feed can be manually added into the cylinder 11.

[0030] Preferably, the driving device 4 includes a second motor 41, the housing of which is fixed relative to the feeder 2, and the second motor 41 is a speed-regulating motor. When the lengths of the spreading tubes 32 are all the same, the rotational speed of the spreading disc 3 is changed by altering the rotational speed of the second motor 41, thereby changing the centrifugal force of the bait in the spreading tubes 32, and consequently changing the radius of the bait at different rotational speeds, thus increasing the coverage area of ​​the bait. When there is a length difference in the spreading tubes 32, the coverage area of ​​the bait can be further increased by changing the rotational speed of the second motor 41, because at high rotational speeds, the longer spreading tubes 32 can spread the bait further, and at low rotational speeds, the shorter spreading tubes 32 can spread the bait closer.

[0031] Preferably, the driving device 4 further includes a second housing 42, the housing of the second motor 41 is fixedly connected to the second housing 42, the spreading disc 3 is rotatably connected to the second housing 42, and the output shaft of the second motor 41 is connected to the spreading disc 3.

[0032] More preferably, the second housing 42 is fixedly connected to the frame 5.

[0033] Preferably, the device further includes a frame 5, with the material cylinder 1 and the drive device 4 respectively fixedly connected to the frame 5, and the first inlet 211 of the feeder 2 fixedly connected to the outlet 14 of the material cylinder 1; it also includes a float 7, with the frame 5 fixedly connected to the float 7.

[0034] During operation, the float 7 is placed above the water surface. The float 7 provides buoyancy, allowing the frame 5 and the equipment installed on it to float on the water surface.

[0035] The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
