Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed feeding technology, specifically an automated feeder for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of animals raised by all people. In a narrower sense, feed mainly refers to the food of animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. In the process of raising animals, in order to facilitate unified management of animals, it is necessary to feed them in a unified manner through feeders, so as to control the feed distribution and make it easier for animals to eat.

[0003] Traditional livestock feeders typically involve placing feed directly into the feeder and then feeding the animals. This requires workers to manually add the feed and walk around the feeding area, resulting in uneven feeding and reduced efficiency. Therefore, an automated livestock feeder is proposed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated feeder for aquaculture, so as to solve the problem that the need for workers to carry feed for feeding leads to uneven feeding and affects feeding efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automated feeder for aquaculture includes a feeding trough and a limiting body. Support rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding trough. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support rods away from the feeding trough. A servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor through the fixed frame. The left end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the fixed frame. A moving block is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw. A discharge shell is fixedly connected to the front side of the moving block. A guide shell is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the discharge shell. The bottom end of the guide shell is located inside the feeding trough. Limiting bodies are installed at both ends of the feeding trough.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the feeding trough is provided with a discharge trough at both the left and right ends, and a discharge hopper is fixedly connected at the location of the discharge trough at the bottom of the feeding trough. A partition is provided above the discharge hopper, and a partition is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the discharge trough of the feeding trough. The bottom of the guide shell is located above the top of the partition.

[0007] Preferably, the lead screw is provided with support plates on both the upper and lower sides, and the left and right ends of the support plates are fixedly connected to the fixed frame. The upper support plate has a groove at the top, and the lower support plate has a groove at the bottom. The rear side of the feed shell is fixedly connected with a fixed plate distributed vertically. The two fixed plates are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the moving block. The fixed plate is rotatably connected to two rotating wheels distributed horizontally at the end away from the feed shell. The rotating wheels are provided in the grooves opened on the support plates.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting body includes a connecting plate, a push plate, a sliding plate, a sliding rod, a limiting spring, a rubber sleeve, and a pressure sensor. There are two connecting plates, which are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the feeding trough. A push plate is inserted through the connecting plate, and a sliding plate is fixedly connected to one end of the push plate. A sliding rod is inserted through both the front and rear ends of the sliding plate. A limiting spring is installed on the outside of the sliding rod. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting plate. One end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the other end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. A rubber sleeve is installed on the outside of the connecting plate away from the sliding plate, and a pressure sensor is installed inside the rubber sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, there are two rubber sleeves in total, and the two rubber sleeves are respectively disposed on the upper side of the two feed hoppers, and the two rubber sleeves are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the guide shell.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, the feeding trough, support rod, mounting frame, servo motor, lead screw, moving block, feeding shell, guide shell, support plate, fixed plate, rotating wheel, chute, feeding hopper, partition plate, and feeding channel are configured. Under the action of the servo motor and lead screw, the moving block can be moved, thereby driving the feeding shell and guide shell to move laterally, so as to evenly feed the feed into the feeding trough. During the movement of the feeding shell, the fixed plate and rotating wheel are moved. At this time, the rotating wheel is set in the chute opened in the support plate, so as to prevent the feeding shell from rotating and make the movement of the feeding shell more stable. When the guide shell moves to the top of the feeding trough opened in the feeding trough, the excess feed in the feeding shell can be discharged. At this time, the feed is guided by the feeding hopper, which facilitates the collection of excess feed. While ensuring the feed is evenly fed, it is not necessary to calculate the amount of feed fed, reducing operation steps and saving time. The partition plate can block the feed in the feeding trough and prevent the evenly fed feed from flowing out of the feeding trough opened in the feeding trough.

[0011] 2. In this utility model, through the setting of a connecting plate, push plate, slide plate, slide rod, limit spring, rubber sleeve, pressure sensor and fixing frame, the push plate can be limited by the connecting plate, and the limit spring can push the slide plate to fit with the connecting plate. When the guide shell pushes the rubber sleeve to move, the elastic force buffers the slide plate and push plate. At the same time, the elastic force is transmitted to the pressure sensor in the rubber sleeve through the slide plate and push plate. The pressure sensor transmits the pressure data to the external controller. The external controller can control the servo motor to stop working in time. The inertial drive of the lower material shell and guide shell continues to move. At this time, the limit spring buffers. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: An automated feeder for aquaculture includes a feeding trough 1 and a limiting body 9. Support rods 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding trough 1. A fixed frame 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support rod 2 away from the feeding trough 1. A servo motor 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 3. A lead screw 5 is fixedly connected through the output shaft of the servo motor 4 and passes through the fixed frame 3. The left end of the lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 3. A moving block 6 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw 5. A feeding shell 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the moving block 6. A guide shell 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the feeding shell 7. The bottom end of the guide shell 8 is located inside the feeding trough 1. The feeding trough 1 is positioned on both sides... Both ends are equipped with limiting bodies 9. The bottom left and right ends of the feeding trough 1 are each provided with a discharge trough 16. A discharge hopper 14 is fixedly connected to the discharge trough 16 at the bottom of the feeding trough 1. A partition 15 is installed above the discharge hopper 14. A partition 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the discharge trough 16 in the feeding trough 1. The bottom horizontal plane of the guide shell 8 is located above the top horizontal plane of the partition 15. Support plates 10 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the lead screw 5. The left and right ends of the support plates 10 are fixedly connected to the fixed frame 3. A sliding groove 13 is opened at the top of the upper support plate 10 and at the bottom of the lower support plate 10. The rear side of the feeding shell 7 is fixedly connected to two vertically distributed fixing plates 11. The two fixing plates 11 are respectively set on the upper and lower sides of the moving block 6. Two horizontally distributed rotating wheels 12 are rotatably connected to the end of the fixing plate 11 away from the feeding shell 7. The rotating wheels 12 are set in the sliding grooves 13 opened in the support plate 10. With this setting, the moving block 6 can be moved by the action of the servo motor 4 and the lead screw 5, thereby driving the feeding shell 7 and the guide shell 8 to move laterally, so as to evenly put the feed into the feeding trough 1. During the movement of the feeding shell 7, the fixing plates 11 and the rotating wheels 12 are moved. At this time, the rotating wheels 12 are set in the sliding grooves 13 opened in the support plate 10. The groove 13 opened in the support plate 10 prevents the feed shell 7 from rotating and makes the movement of the feed shell 7 more stable. When the guide shell 8 moves above the feed trough 16 opened in the feeding trough 1, the excess feed in the feed shell 7 can be discharged. At this time, the feed is guided by the feed hopper 14, which facilitates the collection of excess feed. While ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed, it is not necessary to calculate the amount of feed to be distributed, reducing operation steps and saving time. The partition 15 can block the feed in the feeding trough 1 to prevent the evenly distributed feed from flowing out of the feed trough 16 opened in the feeding trough 1.

[0019] The limiting body 9 includes a connecting plate 901, a push plate 902, a sliding plate 903, a sliding rod 904, a limiting spring 905, a rubber sleeve 906, and a pressure sensor 907. There are two connecting plates 901, which are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the feeding trough 1, respectively. A push plate 902 is inserted through each connecting plate 901. A sliding plate 903 is fixedly connected to one end of the push plate 902. Sliding rods 904 are inserted through both the front and rear ends of the sliding plate 903. Limit springs 905 are installed on the outer side of the sliding rods 904. A mounting frame 908 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 901. One end of the sliding rod 904 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 901, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 908. A rubber sleeve 906 is installed on the outer side of the connecting plate 901 away from the sliding plate 903, and a pressure sensor 907 is installed inside the rubber sleeve 906. There are two rubber sleeves 906, which are respectively installed on the upper side of the two feed hoppers 14 and on the left and right sides of the guide shell 8. This arrangement allows the push plate 902 to be limited by the connecting plate 901. The limit spring 905 can push the slide plate 903 to fit against the connecting plate 901. When the guide shell 8 pushes the rubber sleeves 906 to move, the elastic force buffers the slide plate 903 and the push plate 902. At the same time, the elastic force is transmitted to the pressure sensor 907 inside the rubber sleeve 906 through the slide plate 903 and the push plate 902. The pressure sensor 907 transmits the pressure data to the external controller, which can promptly control the servo motor 4 to stop working. The inertial drive of the feed shell 7 and the guide shell 8 continues to move, and the limit spring 905 provides buffering at this time.

[0020] Workflow: When using this automated feeder for aquaculture, first connect the power supply and external controller. Then, add feed into the feeding shell 7. At this time, the external controller starts the servo motor 4. The servo motor 4 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate through the output shaft. Under the action of the lead screw 5, the feeding shell 7 moves laterally through the moving block 6. The feeding shell 7 drives the fixed plate 11 to move. The fixed plate 11 drives the rotating wheel 12 to roll in the sliding groove 13 opened in the support plate 10. At this time, the feed falls into the feeding trough 1 under the action of gravity. The feed is evenly distributed in the feeding trough 1. When the guide shell 8 contacts the rubber sleeve 906, the guide shell 8 pushes the push plate 902 to move through the rubber sleeve 906. The sliding plate 903 is pushed to slide outside the sliding rod 904. At this time, the sliding plate 903 pushes the limiting spring 905 to be compressed. The limiting spring 905 buffers the sliding plate 903 and the push plate 902 with its own elasticity. At this time, the pressure sensor 907 senses the pressure and transmits the pressure signal to the external controller through the wireless signal. The external controller receives the signal and controls the servo motor 4 to stop rotating. Before the servo motor 4 stops completely, the inertia will cause the feeding shell 7 and the guide shell 8 to continue to move. When the feeding shell 7 stops moving completely, the guide shell 8 is set above the feeding hopper 14. At this time, the excess feed is discharged through the feeding trough 16 opened in the feeding trough 1, and the unfeeded feed is discharged and collected.
