Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed conveying technology, and in particular relates to an automatic weighing and feeding device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] An overhead conveyor, also known as a suspended conveyor, is a continuous material conveying device in space, consisting of tracks, traction chains, lifting devices, and drive units. This equipment achieves three-dimensional closed-loop conveying via overhead tracks, and the accumulation type can achieve material accumulation and storage through a stop mechanism.

[0003] With social progress and development, overhead chain conveyors are widely used in electroplating, spraying, assembly lines, meat processing, and feed conveying. Currently, in feed conveying production lines for aquaculture, the process generally includes material addition, material feeding, and feed bin cleaning, all carried out in a cyclical manner. During the material addition process, after the feed bins are fed and cleaned via the conveyor line, they need to be refilled. However, to adapt to the conveyor production line, the existing manual feeding process not only increases labor intensity but also affects the work progress. Furthermore, due to human factors, the amount of material fed is uncontrollable, which limits subsequent feed feeding and affects usage requirements. Therefore, how to provide a material feeding device that adapts to the existing feed production line is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned feed addition process by proposing an automatic weighing and feeding device for aquaculture feed that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and adaptable to the conveying production line. This device enables quantitative output of feed, ensures the relative consistency of feed quantity in the feed hopper, improves the work process, ensures the convenience of subsequent feed addition, and meets the usage requirements.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an automatic weighing and feeding device for aquaculture feed, comprising a feeding device body, which includes a material elevator for receiving and lifting materials. The output end of the material elevator is equipped with a material equalization mechanism, and the output end of the material equalization mechanism is equipped with a weighing and conveying mechanism integrating weighing and output functions. A receiving component is provided on one side of the weighing and conveying mechanism.

[0013] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0014] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0015] Examples, such as Figures 1-6As shown, an automatic weighing and feeding device for aquaculture feed includes a feeding device body, which includes a material elevator 1 for receiving and lifting materials. The material elevator 1 receives external materials and transports them by lifting. A material equalization mechanism 2 is installed at the output end of the material elevator 1, which receives the materials transported by the material elevator 1 and provides convenient conditions for subsequent equalization operations. A weighing and conveying mechanism 3, integrating weighing and output functions, is installed at the output end of the equalization mechanism 2. This mechanism receives the equalized materials, weighs the falling materials, and lifts and discharges the weighed materials. During the lifting process, the material is changed from a vertical to a horizontal state to ensure smooth material discharge and meet usage requirements. A receiving component 6 is installed on one side of the weighing and conveying mechanism 3. The material hoist 1 receives the quantitatively weighed material, ensuring that the material hopper 62 contains the material, thus providing the prerequisite for subsequent production and processing and improving the usability requirements. Furthermore, the material hoist 1 includes a frame 11, with an obtuse-angled lifting conveyor belt 12 positioned above it. The lower side of the lifting conveyor belt 12 facilitates the receipt of external materials and lifts them to a certain height for output. The material leveling mechanism 2 includes a support frame 21, with a material leveling conveyor belt 22 positioned above it. A material leveling component 4 is located at the output end of the material leveling conveyor belt 22. The material leveling conveyor belt 22 receives the material conveyed by the hoist, and the operation of the material leveling component 4 can level and even out excess material, ensuring that the material on the material leveling conveyor belt 22 is at the bottom of the material leveling component 4, maintaining a relatively consistent output and providing the prerequisite for subsequent weighing operations. In the above process: the material elevator 1 receives external materials and conveys them by lifting, then conveys them to the equalization mechanism 2. The equalization component 4 is used to level the materials during the conveying process, ensuring that the output volume remains relatively consistent. At the same time, the weighing and conveying mechanism 3 receives the equalized materials. On the one hand, it can weigh the falling materials, and on the other hand, it can lift the weighed materials out by lifting. During the lifting process, the materials are changed from a vertical state to a horizontal state to tilt them, ensuring the smooth output of materials and meeting the usage requirements. This device is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can be adapted to the conveying production line to achieve quantitative output of feed, ensure the relative consistency of feed in the feed hopper 62, improve the work process, ensure the convenience of subsequent feed feeding, and meet the usage requirements.

[0016] To ensure smooth material discharge, the material leveling assembly 4 includes a rotating rod 41 positioned above the output end of the material leveling conveyor belt 22. Material leveling plates 42 are arranged on the outer side of the rotating rod 41, with multiple plates 42 evenly distributed around it. Below the material leveling conveyor belt 22, guide plates 43 are arranged at an angle. Specifically, the material leveling conveyor belt 22 receives the material conveyed by the lifting conveyor belt 12. As the material leveling conveyor belt 22 operates, it moves the material towards the material leveling assembly 4, while simultaneously controlling the material leveling process. When component 4 is in operation, it rotates in the opposite direction to the running direction of the material equalization conveyor belt 22. That is, the control rotating rod 41 rotates and acts on the material equalization plate 42. The material equalization plate 42 rotates in the opposite direction to the material equalization conveyor belt 22 and disperses excess material to the rear to prevent excessive output. In this way, when the material equalization conveyor belt 22 is conveying material, its height is level with the lowest end of the material equalization plate 42, so that the material is conveyed in a relatively quantitative manner to a certain extent, which greatly improves the functionality of the device and meets the usage requirements.

[0017] To facilitate convenient weighing of the exported material and ensure smooth export of the weighed material, the weighing and conveying mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped stabilizing frame 31 to improve the stability of the device. A lifting drive mechanism is located above the stabilizing frame 31, comprising a drive rod 32 and a drive gear 33 on the outer side of the drive rod 32. A driven gear 34 is located below the stabilizing frame 31. A weighing module 35 is located on the upper lower side of the stabilizing frame 31. The weighing module 35 is fixedly installed. Above the lower side of the stabilizing frame 31, when the lifting bucket 36 falls to its lowest position, it is completely placed on the weighing module 35. At this time, the material on the equalizing mechanism 2 can be evenly organized under the action of the equalizing component 4, so that it can be relatively quantitatively transported into the lifting bucket 36. During this process, the weighing module 35 continuously weighs the amount of material in the lifting bucket 36. When the weight reaches the set value, the equalizing mechanism 2 stops operating and waits for the material in the lifting bucket 36 to be discharged. Of course, for the weighing module 35 mentioned in this embodiment... This is a mature and commonly used technology in the existing field. Its specific weighing working principle and method will not be elaborated further, as those skilled in the art can readily understand it. A lifting bucket 36 is installed above the weighing module 35. One side of the lifting bucket 36 is designed to be inclined, facilitating the dumping of materials when the bucket is placed horizontally, thus improving its smoothness. A material-pouring mechanism 5 is installed inside the stabilizing frame 31. Specifically, the lifting drive mechanism utilizes a combination of gears and chains. That is, a chain is installed outside the drive gear 33 and driven gear 34, with both ends of the chain connected to the lower upper and lower sides of the lifting bucket 36. The drive rod 32 is driven by an external motor, rotating and acting on the drive gear 33, which in turn acts on the chain, allowing it to pull the lifting bucket 36 vertically. During the upward movement, the material-pouring mechanism 5 changes the position of the lifting bucket 36, allowing the material to be smoothly discharged, completing the material delivery. The operation is simple, convenient, and highly practical.

[0018] To facilitate the smooth discharge of material from the lifting hopper 36, the discharge mechanism 5 includes an L-shaped limiting guide rail 51 located inside the stabilizing frame 31. An L-shaped abutment is located on one side of the curved portion of the limiting guide rail 51 to limit the maximum height of the second pulley 53. A first pulley 52 is located on the upper outer side of the lifting hopper 36 and is adapted to the inner side of the limiting guide rail 51. A second pulley 53 is located on the lower outer side of the lifting hopper 36. A lifting frame 54 is located outside the second pulley 53. The lifting frame 54 has a Y-shaped slot 541. The inner groove 541 allows the lifting bucket 36 to assist in subsequent position changes, ensuring smooth position transitions. Simultaneously, during resetting, the lifting frame 54 limits the position of the lifting bucket 36, ensuring effective coordination between the devices. Specifically, in this embodiment, a drive chain is provided on the outer side of the drive gear 33 and driven gear 34. Both ends of the drive chain are connected to the upper and lower sides of the lifting frame 54, respectively. When the drive rod 32 rotates, the driving force acts on the drive chain, driving the lifting frame 54... The lifting bucket 36 rises vertically. Driven by the driving force and the setting of the limiting guide rail 51, the first pulley 52 at the top moves upwards. Under the action of the limiting guide rail 51, it first moves upwards, and then moves horizontally at the bend of the limiting guide rail 51, causing the lifting bucket 36 to transition from vertical to horizontal placement. It should be further noted that during the above process, the second pulley 53 contacts and is limited by the outer surface of the limiting guide rail 51, and its movement is only adjusted vertically. When the second pulley 53 rises until it touches the bottom of the support plate, it reaches its maximum position. When pulley 52 moves to its maximum position on the short side of the limiting guide rail 51, the inclined design of the inner side of the lifting bucket 36 allows all the material placed inside to be poured out and fall into the material bucket 62, completing the material feeding work and improving the work process to a certain extent. After the material is poured out, the lifting drive mechanism runs in the opposite direction, first pulling down the bottom of the lifting bucket 36. At this time, the first pulley 52 also moves in the opposite direction within the limiting guide rail 51 until it changes to a vertical direction and falls down, waiting for the next material to be received. This process is repeated to achieve convenient material feeding and ensure the work process.

[0019] To ensure smooth material delivery and facilitate the discharge of the material hopper 62 after addition, the receiving assembly 6 includes a longitudinally arranged conveyor belt assembly 61. The material hopper 62 is positioned above the conveyor belt assembly 61 and can be adjusted longitudinally on the conveyor belt assembly 61. Specifically, there are two sets of conveyor belt assemblies 61 arranged side by side. The gap between the two sets of conveyor belt assemblies 61 is adapted to the specifications of the material hopper 62. A bearing plate is provided on the outside of the material hopper 62 and placed on the conveyor belt assembly 61. The empty material hopper 62 is conveyed from the outside via the conveyor belt assembly 61 and corresponds to the position of the tilting bucket 36. After the material in the lifting bucket 36 is poured into the material hopper 62, the conveyor belt assembly 61 is controlled to drive the material hopper 62 outward, making the material hopper 62 conveying process more convenient and smooth, and improving the work process.

[0020] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
