Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and more specifically, to a decentralized feeding device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily management of aquaculture, fish ponds, shrimp ponds and other aquaculture waters usually require timed and quantitative feed feeding. Traditional feeding systems often adopt a fixed or single outlet design, which leads to uneven feed distribution, resulting in some areas of the aquaculture water having too much feed while other areas have insufficient feed. With the expansion of aquaculture scale and the increase in intensification, farmers' demand for even and dispersed feed distribution is increasing.

[0003] However, existing feeding equipment typically uses threaded connections or fixed welding for pipe connections. This connection method has many inconveniences in actual use. On the one hand, threaded connections are prone to loosening due to long-term vibration, resulting in unstable connections or even detachment. On the other hand, although fixed welding provides a firm connection, it completely loses its disassembly capability. When it is necessary to clean the pipes or change the direction of material distribution, the operation is extremely difficult, which seriously affects the maintenance efficiency and service life of the equipment.

[0004] In the complex and ever-changing real-world application scenarios of aquaculture, farmers often need to adjust the feeding location and range according to the shape, area, and characteristics of different aquaculture ponds and species. Traditional feeding devices, due to their simple design of connecting components and lack of quick disassembly and assembly capabilities, make system adjustments a time-consuming and tedious task. When pipes become blocked or feeding strategies need to be adjusted according to seasonal changes, farmers often have to stop the entire system, use tools to disassemble and fix the connections, clean them, and then reinstall them. This process is not only inefficient but also increases the risk of equipment wear and tear. Especially during peak aquaculture seasons, any delay in feeding can affect the growth of aquatic animals and the profitability of aquaculture. Furthermore, the sealing performance of traditional connection methods is difficult to guarantee, and long-term use can easily lead to loosening and leakage, resulting in feed waste and water pollution, placing an unnecessary burden on the aquaculture environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a decentralized feeding device for aquaculture to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a decentralized feeding device for aquaculture, comprising a shell, a sleeve fixedly disposed inside the shell, a rotating rod rotatably disposed inside the sleeve, a valve plate fixedly disposed outside the rotating rod, multiple sets of valve plates fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the rotating rod, a motor fixedly disposed outside the sleeve, the output end of the motor fixedly connected to the rotating rod, a distributing pipe fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sleeve, a quick-connect mechanism disposed at the outer end of each distributing pipe, the quick-connect mechanism comprising a clamping pipe and an insert pipe, the clamping pipe being fixedly disposed at the outer end of the distributing pipe, the insert pipe being inserted into the clamping pipe, a clamping block slidably disposed on the outer wall of the clamping pipe, multiple sets of clamping blocks, each with an abutment block fixedly disposed on its outer side, a clamping groove opened on the outer wall of the insert pipe, multiple sets of clamping grooves, a slide rail fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the clamping pipe, multiple sets of slide rails, a rotating sleeve slidably disposed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve, a clearance groove opened on the inner side of the rotating sleeve, multiple sets of clearance grooves, and a material gathering hopper fixedly disposed at the top end of the sleeve.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a paddle is slidably provided on the outer wall of the card tube, and multiple sets of paddles are provided, each with a push plate fixed on its inner side. Multiple sets of push plates are provided. Through the arrangement of multiple sets of paddles and push plates, the function of external operation of internal components is realized. Users can complete the disassembly operation without directly contacting the internal card block, which greatly improves the ease of operation and safety of the device.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a tension spring is connected between the outer side of each of the multiple sets of paddles and the retaining tube. The tension springs are provided in multiple sets. Through the elastic return function of the tension springs, it is ensured that the paddles can automatically reset after use, which avoids structural fatigue caused by the paddles being in working state for a long time, and at the same time improves the service life and operational reliability of the device.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an arc-shaped rod is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the clamping tube, and multiple sets of arc-shaped rods are provided, each with a slider slidingly provided on its outer wall. The multiple sets of sliders are fixed on the inner side of the rotating sleeve. Through the cooperative design of the arc-shaped rod and the slider, the rotating sleeve can rotate smoothly along a predetermined trajectory, ensuring precise control of the locking and unlocking process and preventing jamming or deviation during operation.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a contraction spring is connected between each of the multiple sets of card blocks and the outer wall of the card tube. Through the continuous tension of the contraction spring, the card blocks always maintain an inward contraction tendency, ensuring that the card blocks can be tightly locked in the insertion tube slot, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a positioning plate is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the clamping tube, and a positioning groove is provided on the outer wall of the insertion tube. Multiple sets of positioning plates and positioning grooves are provided. Through the precise cooperation between the positioning plates and positioning grooves, the precise positioning of the insertion tube during the insertion process is achieved, misaligned installation is prevented, and the connection accuracy and sealing performance of the quick-connect mechanism are ensured.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom ends of the multiple sets of abutment blocks and the outer side of the push plate are all arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design makes the contact between the push plate and the abutment block smoother, reduces the frictional resistance during pushing, and avoids wear that may be caused by sharp corners, thereby improving the service life of the components and the comfort of operation.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a top block is fixedly provided at the top of each of the multiple sets of slide rails. The limiting effect of the top block prevents the rotating sleeve from exceeding the predetermined range during rotation, avoids structural damage that may be caused by excessive rotation, and provides the operator with clear feedback on the rotation endpoint.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a decentralized feeding device for aquaculture, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This decentralized feeding device for aquaculture solves the problem of unstable connection in traditional feeding systems by designing a quick-connect mechanism. The quick-connect mechanism adopts a design that combines clamping pipes and insertion pipes, and is equipped with multiple sets of clamping blocks and clamping slots to make the connection process simple and efficient. Installation can be completed without tools, effectively avoiding the disadvantages of easy loosening of traditional threaded connections and non-removable fixed welding. At the same time, the precise cooperation between the positioning plate and the positioning slot ensures the positioning accuracy during the insertion process, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and ease of use of the equipment.

[0019] 2. The rotating sleeve and locking mechanism of this device provide a double-safety connection guarantee. The rotation of the rotating sleeve drives the slider to slide along the arc-shaped rod, so that the inner wall of the rotating sleeve is tightly against the outer wall of the locking block, forming a reliable lock. Meanwhile, multiple sets of contraction springs provide continuous inward pulling force to the locking block, ensuring that the locking block is always tightly engaged in the insertion slot. This design not only enhances the stability of the connection, but also limits the rotating sleeve through the top block at the top of the slide rail, preventing accidental loosening due to vibration. It effectively solves the problem of loosening and falling off in traditional connection methods during long-term use.

[0020] 3. The disassembly mechanism of this device is designed to be convenient and efficient. Through the ingenious combination of the paddle and push plate, and the elastic return function of the tension spring, a quick and easy disassembly operation is achieved. The user only needs to rotate the rotating sleeve to align the relief groove with the locking block, and then push the paddle so that the push plate acts on the abutment block, easily releasing the locking block from the locking groove. The whole process does not require professional tools and can be completed with one hand. The arc-shaped design of the bottom of the abutment block and the outer side of the push plate further optimizes the smoothness of the thrust transmission and reduces operating resistance. This user-friendly design significantly improves the maintenance efficiency of the equipment, enabling farmers to quickly adjust the feeding system according to actual needs and adapt to different farming environments and management requirements.

[0038] In this embodiment, during use, the insertion tube 8 is connected to the external feeding pipe, and the insertion tube 8 is inserted into the clamping pipe 7.

[0039] More specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the insertion tube 8, rotating the rotating sleeve 13 causes multiple sets of relief grooves 14 to move to the outside of the locking block 9, releasing the abutment of the multiple sets of locking blocks 9, pushing the paddle 16 to drive multiple sets of push plates 17 to slide along the locking tube 7, and at the same time stretching multiple sets of tension springs 18, pushing the abutment block 10 through the multiple sets of push plates 17 and driving the locking block 9 to disengage its bottom end from the locking groove 11, releasing the locking of the insertion tube 8, and then the insertion tube 8 can be pulled out of the locking tube 7.

[0040] In summary, during use or operation of the overall equipment: When in use, the insertion tube 8 is connected to the external feeding pipe. The insertion tube 8 is inserted into the clamping pipe 7, and positioned by multiple sets of positioning plates 22 and positioning grooves 23. Multiple sets of contraction springs 21 pull the clamping block 9 so that its bottom end is engaged in the clamping groove 11. The rotating sleeve 13 is rotated so that it slides along the arc-shaped rod 19 via multiple sets of sliders 20, causing the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 13 to abut against the outer wall of the multiple sets of clamping blocks 9. Subsequently, the multiple sets of sliders 20 abut against the outer wall of the top block 24 to restrict the rotating sleeve 13, completing the clamping of the insertion tube 8. Material is fed into the hopper 15. The motor 5 is started to drive the rotating rod 3 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple sets of valve plates 4 to rotate. The valve plates 4 push the material into the distributing pipe 6, and then discharge it through multiple sets of external feeding pipes.

[0041] When it is necessary to disassemble the insertion tube 8, rotate the rotating sleeve 13 to move the multiple sets of relief grooves 14 to the outside of the locking block 9, release the abutment of the multiple sets of locking blocks 9, push the paddle 16 to drive the multiple sets of push plates 17 to slide along the locking tube 7, and at the same time stretch the multiple sets of tension springs 18. The multiple sets of push plates 17 push the abutment block 10 and drive the locking block 9 to disengage its bottom end from the locking groove 11, release the locking of the insertion tube 8, and then the insertion tube 8 can be pulled out of the locking tube 7.
