Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device for unmanned vessels used in aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture refers to the production activities of obtaining aquatic products by breeding, cultivating, and harvesting aquatic plants and animals (such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, algae, etc.) in artificially controlled aquatic environments. It is an important branch of agriculture and one of the key sources of global protein supply.

[0003] In current aquaculture, the most common traditional method is manual feeding. This manual method not only requires a significant investment of manpower and is extremely labor-intensive, but also has obvious limitations. Specifically, feeding is confined to the shoreline, and because the feeding location is relatively fixed and the distance is limited, the feeding range is severely restricted. Under these circumstances, feed is often difficult to distribute evenly throughout the aquaculture area, leading to uneven feeding.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic feeding device for unmanned vessels used in aquaculture to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an unmanned boat automatic feeding device for aquaculture, which solves the problem that current aquaculture requires manual feeding, which is laborious and can only be done on the shore, where the feeding distance is relatively short and uneven feeding occurs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for unmanned boats used in aquaculture, comprising an unmanned boat, a bracket fixedly installed on the top of the unmanned boat, a round rod rotatably connected inside the bracket, a rotating block fixedly connected to the surface of the round rod, a fixing groove formed on the surface of the rotating block, a transmission component provided on the surface of the round rod, and an injection component provided on the top of the unmanned boat.

[0007] The transmission assembly is used to drive the round rod;

[0008] The infusion assembly is used to infuse materials.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a servo motor, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket. A transmission gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, and a driven gear meshes with the side wall of the transmission gear. The driven gear is fixedly connected to the round rod.

[0010] Preferably, the infusion assembly includes a hopper located on top of the rotating block, a support frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper, the bottom of the support frame fixedly connected to the top of the unmanned vessel, and a rubber tube connected to the bottom of the hopper, the rubber tube being slidably connected to the surface of the rotating block.

[0011] Preferably, an inclined bucket is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the unmanned vessel, and the inclined bucket is slidably connected to the rotating block.

[0012] Preferably, the number of fixing grooves is three, and the fixing grooves are evenly distributed in a ring.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the hopper is provided with a sealing cover, which is located on the top of the unmanned vessel.

[0014] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket, and the support plate is located at the bottom of the servo motor.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention allows for automatic feeding. When the user needs to add material to the hopper, they first activate the servo motor. The servo motor drives the transmission gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate. The driven gear then drives the round rod to rotate, causing the round rod to rotate the rotating block. The surface of the rotating block contacts the rubber tube. When the fixed trough slides to the bottom of the rubber tube, the material enters the fixed trough through the rubber tube and is discharged into the fixed trough. The rotating block continues to rotate, discharging the material into the tilting hopper. The tilting hopper effectively discharges the material into the water for aquaculture. The feeding amount can be controlled by the rotation speed, thus achieving automatic feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An automatic feeding device for unmanned boats used in aquaculture includes an unmanned boat 1, a bracket 2 fixedly installed on the top of the unmanned boat 1, a round rod 3 rotatably connected inside the bracket 2, a rotating block 4 fixedly connected to the surface of the round rod 3, a fixing groove 5 opened on the surface of the rotating block 4, a transmission component 6 provided on the surface of the round rod 3, and an injection component 7 provided on the top of the unmanned boat 1.

[0024] The transmission assembly 6 is used to drive the round rod 3;

[0025] The filling assembly 7 is used to fill materials.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 The transmission component 6 includes a servo motor 61, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket 2. A transmission gear 62 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 61. A driven gear 63 meshes with the side wall of the transmission gear 62. The driven gear 63 is fixedly connected to the round rod 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the transmission component 6 enables precise transmission of the round rod 3. This design not only ensures the stability of the round rod 3 during transmission but also greatly reduces the possibility of the round rod 3 wobbling, thus providing users with a stable and reliable transmission environment, greatly improving the user experience, making the operation process smoother, and facilitating efficient use by users.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 The filling assembly 7 includes a hopper 71, which is located on top of the rotating block 4. A support frame 72 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper 71. The bottom of the support frame 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the unmanned vessel 1. A rubber tube 73 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 71, and the rubber tube 73 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating block 4.

[0029] Furthermore, the filling component 7 allows for precise material filling into the fixed tank 5. This design enables users to fill in quantities as needed, saving time and effort while improving the accuracy and efficiency of the filling process. This makes the entire filling process simpler and faster, greatly facilitating user operation and making it easy for users to use.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 An inclined bucket 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the unmanned boat 1, and the inclined bucket 8 is slidably connected to the rotating block 4.

[0031] Furthermore, the tilting bucket 8 effectively discharges materials, making the material discharge process smoother. This design is particularly suitable for scenarios such as fish feeding, avoiding blockages during discharge and ensuring smooth material flow. It provides users with a convenient discharge method, greatly improving user ease of operation and making it easy for users to use the equipment smoothly.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 There are three fixing slots 5, which are evenly distributed in a ring.

[0033] Furthermore, by setting the number of fixed slots 5 to three, it is more convenient to uniformly and quantitatively dispense materials. This design not only improves the uniformity and accuracy of dispensing, but also significantly enhances dispensing efficiency, making the entire dispensing process more efficient and orderly, providing users with a convenient dispensing experience, greatly optimizing the user's operating process, and facilitating efficient use by users.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 The top of the hopper 71 is equipped with a sealing cover 9, which is located on the top of the unmanned vessel 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the sealing cover 9 can tightly seal the top of the hopper 71. This design ensures the airtightness of the hopper 71, effectively preventing foreign matter from entering the hopper 71, maintaining the purity of the material, providing users with a clean and tidy operating environment, greatly improving the user experience, making the operation process safer, and allowing users to use it with confidence.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 A support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket 2, and the support plate 10 is located at the bottom of the servo motor 61.

[0037] Furthermore, the support plate 10 provides effective auxiliary support for the servo motor 61. This design not only improves the efficiency of support but also greatly reduces the risk of damage to the servo motor 61 during operation, ensuring stable operation of the motor and providing users with a reliable support system. This greatly enhances the user's sense of security and facilitates stable use.

[0038] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When automatic feeding is required, the user first needs to add material to the appropriate position inside the hopper 71 to ensure sufficient material. Next, the servo motor 61 is started. The servo motor 61, through its powerful output, drives the transmission gear 62 to start rotating. During the rotation of the transmission gear 62, through the meshing action between the gears, it drives the driven gear 63 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the driven gear 63 further transmits power, driving the round rod 3 to rotate. The rotation of the round rod 3 causes the rotating block 4 connected to it to also start rotating. The surface of the rotating block 4 is tightly attached to the rubber tube 73. When the fixed trough 5 slides to the bottom of the rubber tube 73 during rotation, the material enters the interior of the fixed trough 5 through the channel of the rubber tube 73 under the action of gravity. As the rotating block 4 continues to rotate, the material is gradually discharged into the interior space of the fixed trough 5. Subsequently, the rotating block 4 continues to rotate, further discharging the material into the inclined hopper 8. The design of the inclined hopper 8 allows the material to effectively slide down from the hopper and finally enter the water for the aquaculture organisms to eat. By adjusting the rotation speed of the servo motor 61, the amount of material fed can be precisely controlled, thereby realizing the function of automatic feeding and ensuring the smooth progress of the aquaculture process.
