Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed feeding technology, specifically an automatic mixing and pneumatic feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, my country's aquaculture industry is developing rapidly, making it the world's largest producer of aquatic products, and the demand for aquatic feed is steadily increasing. However, in the crucial step of feed delivery, many farms still widely use traditional woven bag packaging for compound feed, relying heavily on manual labor for unpacking, mixing, and transporting the feed to the ponds for feeding. This traditional operating model is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also faces the serious challenges of an aging population and continuously rising labor costs. Young people are increasingly unwilling to engage in heavy physical labor, leading to immense pressure on farmers to recruit workers and face high labor costs. Furthermore, the manual feeding process is difficult to control precisely, easily resulting in uneven feed distribution and waste, which not only increases aquaculture costs but also may affect water quality. Therefore, developing automated and intelligent feeding equipment to reduce manual labor, improve feeding efficiency and accuracy, and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement has become an urgent need for the modernization and upgrading of fisheries.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Figures 1-6This invention discloses an automatic mixing and pneumatic feeding system, comprising a hopper 1, a first mixing chamber 2, a second mixing chamber 3, an airlock 4, and a feeding device 5. The hopper 1 is connected to the first mixing chamber 2 and the second mixing chamber 3 via a discharge channel. Both the inlet of the first mixing chamber 2 and the inlet of the second mixing chamber 3 are equipped with discharge gate devices 6 to control the opening and closing of the first or second discharge port. The discharge channel is a three-way channel, with one upper interface connected to the hopper 1 and the two lower interfaces connected to the first mixing chamber 2 and the second mixing chamber 3 respectively. The first mixing chamber 2 and the second mixing chamber 3 are equipped with a material distribution gate device 7 at their output ports. The material distribution gate device 7 is used to control the opening and closing of the output port of the first mixing chamber 2 or the output port of the second mixing chamber 3. The first mixing chamber 2 and the second mixing chamber 3 are connected to the airlock 4 through the material distribution channel. The material distribution channel is a three-way channel. The two upper interfaces are connected to the first mixing chamber 2 and the second mixing chamber 3, and the lower interface is connected to the airlock 4. The output port of the airlock 4 is connected to the feeding device 5. The feeding device 5 is used to distribute the mixed feed to the fish farm.

[0025] The feed bin 1 is fixed to the outside by a support 11. The lower end of the support 11 is equipped with a weighing device 12 for weighing the feed bin 1 in order to confirm the amount of feed.

[0026] It should be noted that the mixing chamber has a medicine inlet on the side for adding medicine. The medicine is mixed with the feed to meet the feeding requirements of some fish or seafood such as shrimp and crab.

[0027] The feeding device 5 includes a three-way pipe 51 and two sets of feeding floats. The inlet of the three-way pipe 51 is connected to the outlet of the airlock 4. The feeding floats include a float 52, which supports other components of the feeding device 5 so that it can float on the water. The upper end of the float 52 is connected to a feeding seat through a float bracket. A diversion pipe 54 is installed on the feeding seat. The diversion pipe 54 is connected to the outlet of the three-way pipe 51. The top of the diversion pipe 54 is connected to a feeding tray 53. The feeding tray 53 includes several circumferentially arranged feeding nozzles 55. The feed is output from the airlock 4 to the feeding nozzles 55 and sprayed into the fish farm through the feeding nozzles 55.

[0028] A feeding motor 56 is installed on the feeding base. The output end of the feeding motor 56 is connected to the feeding disc 53. The feeding disc 53 is rotatably connected to the diversion short pipe 54. It should be noted that the feeding motor 56 has an electric rod that outputs rotational force. This electric rod passes through the diversion short pipe 54 and is directly connected to the feeding disc 53. The feeding disc 53 is slidably connected above the diversion short pipe 54, so it can rotate under the drive of the electric rod, thereby generating centrifugal force to throw the feed output to the feeding disc 53 out of the feeding nozzle 55.

[0029] The feed nozzle 55 is tilted upwards, which allows the feed to be thrown upwards a greater distance. The feed throwing distance can be controlled by adjusting the power of the feed motor 56.

[0030] The unloading gate device 6 includes an unloading pipe 61, an unloading motor 62 installed on the inner side of the unloading pipe 61, and an unloading gate 63 connected to the output end of the unloading motor 62 and extending into the unloading channel. The unloading pipe 61 includes a flexible connecting pipe 64, and a steel wire protective net 65 is sleeved on the outer edge of the flexible connecting pipe 64. The flexible connecting pipe 64 can effectively reduce the impact of vibration of the mixing chamber on the weight of the silo 1. The steel wire protective net 65 is used to protect the flexible connecting pipe 64 from external damage, mainly damage by rats.

[0031] The feed dispensing gate device 7 includes a feed dispensing gate channel 71, a feed dispensing motor 72 installed in the feed dispensing gate channel 71, a feed dispensing gate 73 connected to the output end of the feed dispensing motor 72, and a discharge port 74 provided on the side of the feed dispensing gate channel 71. The discharge port 74 is used to prevent feed accumulation from causing the feed dispensing gate 73 to jam.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The feed processing flow of this automatic mixing and pneumatic feeding device begins in the centralized storage silo 1. Under gravity, the feed is distributed through a distribution channel at its bottom. This channel has a first discharge port and a second discharge port controlled by a discharge gate device 6, which alternately open and close via electrical control commands, thus feeding the feed into the first mixing chamber 2 and the second mixing chamber 3 respectively. Each mixing chamber is equipped with a mixing device to mix the feed, and a pre-set medicine inlet on the side of the chamber facilitates the addition of medicine or nutritional additives, ensuring thorough and uniform mixing of the feed and additives. While the first mixing chamber 2 is mixing, the second mixing chamber 3 can simultaneously perform its discharge task, thus achieving parallel and seamless operation of the mixing and feeding processes, significantly improving the efficiency of continuous equipment operation. After mixing is complete, the feed is discharged from the outlet at the bottom of each mixing chamber, where the distribution gate device 7 controls the opening and closing of the discharge. The feed then flows into a three-way channel and is conveyed to the airlock 4. The airlock 4 plays a crucial role in locking the airflow and ensuring uniform feeding during this process, effectively preventing airflow backflow and guaranteeing stable pressure throughout the pneumatic conveying system. The stably conveyed feed then enters the feeding device 5. This device distributes the feed to two sets of feeding floats via a three-way pipe 51. The floats float on the water surface via floats 52, and the feeding seats on them receive the feed. The feeding motor 56 drives the feeding disc 53, connected to the top of the diversion pipe 54, to rotate at high speed. Several inclined nozzles arranged circumferentially on the feeding disc 53, under centrifugal force, evenly and long-distancely scatter the feed onto the fishpond surface, and the scattering distance can be precisely controlled by adjusting the motor power.

All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
