Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture, and in particular to a rotating feeder and feed distribution device. Background Technology

[0002] For aquaculture, quantitative feeding is crucial. Overfeeding can lead to bloating and death of the animals, while underfeeding results in insufficient feeding and affects the economic benefits when the animals are sold. Most existing feed dispensers dispense feed by weighing, which is not accurate enough. This is because feed in existing aquaculture sites is mostly stored outdoors and placed next to ponds or pools, which inevitably leads to the feed getting damp, affecting its weight and resulting in less feed being given to the animals after weighing.

[0003] Volumetric feeding, on the other hand, is more accurate because the volume change of feed is relatively small after it gets damp. Furthermore, volumetric feeding is cheaper than weight measurement, can be implemented mechanically, has lower maintenance costs, and can be discharged either manually or by a motor. This makes it more applicable to a wider range of scenarios and users, and easier for them to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary feeder that can distribute feed by volume by setting multiple feed troughs, and has high distribution efficiency and accuracy, and can simultaneously support both hand-cranked and motor-driven feeding methods.

[0005] This utility model proposes a rotary material distribution device for a feeding machine, including a material distribution device body; The main body of the feeding device is provided with multiple feeding troughs arranged at equal angles on its side, and the main body of the feeding device carries feed through the feeding troughs; The material dispensing device has a through hole in the middle of its main body. The front side of the through hole extends to both sides to form an annular first connecting groove. Multiple second connecting grooves are provided on the inner side of the first connecting groove. The device is connected to an external drive device through the second connecting groove, thereby driving the material dispensing device to rotate via a rotating shaft, thus realizing the material feeding function.

[0006] Preferably, the external drive device is a rocker arm or a motor.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a coupling, wherein the side of the coupling is provided with a coupling connecting block corresponding to the second connecting groove of the body, and the middle of the coupling is connected to the output shaft of the rocker or motor by a threaded connection.

[0008] Preferably, the front side of the main body of the material distribution device is provided with an annular main body connecting block, and the outer shell of the material distribution device is provided with an outer shell connecting block adapted to the main body connecting block. The main body connecting block and the outer shell connecting block cooperate to make the gap between them Z-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes a limiting connecting rod and a rear connecting member. The rear side of the rear connecting member is fixedly connected to the inner shell of the dispensing device. The front side of the limiting connecting rod is provided with an annular limiting block that is adapted to the first connecting groove of the main body. The rear side of the limiting connecting rod passes through the main body of the dispensing device and connects to the rear connecting member, thereby limiting the main body of the dispensing device through the cooperation of the limiting connecting rod and the rear connecting member.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the rotary feeding and distributing device of this utility model are as follows: Feed is distributed by setting up a feeding trough. When the feeding trough is full of feed, the feeding device body is rotated so that the feed can fall from the feeding trough to achieve the feeding function. In actual use, the top of the inner shell of the feeding device is provided with a shell through hole. The feed is always piled on the shell through hole. Each time it is rotated, the feed that is full of the connecting trough is brought down. By using volume distribution method, the feeding accuracy is relatively higher.

[0011] The material dispensing device is rotated by a motor, which ensures the accuracy of material feeding. Attached Figure Description
