Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shrimp farming technology, specifically to an automatic feed weighing device for shrimp feeding. Background Technology

[0002] Shrimp farming is developing rapidly, especially large-scale factory farming. In factory-style circular farming, the automatic feeding of feed (a nutritionally balanced food specially formulated for the growth needs of shrimp) into the shrimp pond can greatly save labor. Combined with the core principles of scientific feeding, namely "timed, locationd, quality-controlled, and quantity-controlled", high-quality shrimp farming can be achieved.

[0003] When feeding shrimp using an automatic shrimp feeder, there is often a shortage of feed, which is not noticed by the staff in time, resulting in "airdropping" of feed. In addition, there is a distance between the feed storage location and the automatic shrimp feeder, and manual handling of feed is obviously inefficient. Therefore, this utility model proposes an automatic shrimp feed weighing device that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The power assembly includes a motor mounted on the first frame plate, the motor being drive-connected to the rotating shaft;

[0009] It also includes a controller and a power supply module, with the controller connected to the weighing sensor and motor signal.

[0022] The following is a detailed description of an automatic shrimp feed weighing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to the accompanying drawings. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0023] Therefore, the following detailed description of embodiments of the present disclosure provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed disclosure, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0024] An automatic shrimp feed weighing device:

[0025] Please see Figure 4 The main structure includes a horizontally placed base plate 1 with two parallel through slots 2 on the base plate 1. The base plate 1 is used to support the feed box. An automatic shrimp feeding machine is installed on the feed box to transport feed to the shrimp pond for feeding.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A frame is installed above the base plate 1. The frame is welded together from the base plate 4, the first frame plate 5, and the second frame plate 6. A high-precision weighing sensor 14 is installed between the base plate 4 and the base plate 1. The weighing sensor 14 is the core component for accurate measurement. It is preferably made of stainless steel to adapt to the humid environment of shrimp farming. Its measurement range can be designed according to the capacity of the feed box. For example, a model with a rated load of 100kg or 200kg can be selected. The weighing sensor 14 converts the pressure signal it senses into an analog electrical signal and transmits it to the controller.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The first frame plate 5 and the second frame plate 6 of the frame are located directly above the two through slots 2. There is a liner plate 10 on the lower side of the first frame plate 5 and the second frame plate 6. A bearing 11 is installed on the liner plate 10. The bearing 11 provides stable and low-friction rotation support for the rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 passes through the bearing 11, and the two ends of the shaft are fixed with the traveling wheels 7. The material of the traveling wheels 7 can be wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant nylon or polyurethane. The traveling wheels 7 are movably fitted with the guide rail to prevent side slip or derailment during travel. Each set of through slots 2 is provided with wheel grooves 3 at both ends.

[0028] Please see Figure 3The power unit consists of a motor 8 and a gear set 9. The motor drives the gear set to rotate. The motor 8 is fixed on the outside of the first frame plate 5. Considering the shrimp farming environment, the motor 8 is selected to have a certain waterproof function, so that it can work safely in humid or even splashing environments. Depending on the total weight of the equipment and the preset walking speed, the power of the motor 8 can be selected from 90W to 150W. The output shaft of the motor 8 is connected to a gear set 9, and a driven gear is fixed on the rotating shaft 13. The motor 8 and the rotating shaft 13 are connected by the meshing transmission of the gear set 9. This allows the equipment to move automatically along the preset guide rail and can move to the feed storage position to add feed without the need for manual handling of feed. It can also achieve large-scale and uniform feeding on the aquaculture water surface.

[0029] The controller (not shown in the figure) is used to collect and process the analog signals of the weighing sensor 14 and calculate the precise weight of the current feed through an algorithm. The controller also integrates a motor drive module to control the start, stop, forward and reverse rotation and speed adjustment of the motor 8.

[0030] The controller connects to a wireless data transmitter via a communication interface signal. This wireless data transmitter can be a communication unit with an integrated Wi-Fi module. When the controller calculates that the feed weight is lower than the preset alarm threshold (e.g., 20% remaining), it will send information including the equipment number and low feed quantity to the preset staff mobile phone number through this module. The controller will also control the motor 8 to move the equipment to the feed storage point for easy addition of feed.

[0031] The weight of the feed in the feed bin is directly and in real time measured by the weighing sensor 14, and the weighing data is processed by the controller, realizing weight-based precise feeding control and surplus monitoring, providing reliable data support for scientific feeding.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 The power supply module (not shown in the figure) supplies power to the entire system. A crossbar extends from the outside of the first frame plate 5, and a charging head 12 is mounted on the crossbar. Preferably, a charging pile is set at the start or end position of the guide rail, and the charging head 12 can contact the electrodes on the charging pile to automatically charge the power supply module. In addition, it should be noted that the controller, power supply module and feed box are all directly mounted on the base plate. The weighing sensor installed between the base plate and the frame plays a role in supporting and weighing the equipment on the base plate. In actual use, before the feed box is filled with feed, the pre-set software in the controller is programmed to tare the feed, so that the weighing data fed back by the controller before the feed is added is zero.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
