Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture cage technology, and in particular to a side-mounted feeding machine for stacked aquaculture cages. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, the cages of high-rise aquaculture equipment have about four layers in height, such as stacked chicken cages. These cages can be used with conventional straddle-type feeders for feeding. Nowadays, many users want to use ultra-high-rise aquaculture equipment to increase the stocking density per unit area, and the cages of these equipment generally have more than eight layers in height.

[0003] For ultra-high-rise aquaculture equipment, if a conventional straddle-type feeder is used, firstly, the number of cage layers is large, and the amount of feed carried by the straddle-type feeder is large, which is a great burden for the simple mesh structure of the cage and can easily cause deformation of the top cage; secondly, the amount of feed required, coupled with the impact of the height, makes the straddle-type feeder feed very slow, affecting the feeding efficiency of ultra-high-rise aquaculture equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a side-mounted feeder for stacked aquaculture cages, so as to solve the problem that conventional straddle-type feeders are not applicable to ultra-high-rise aquaculture equipment.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A side-mounted feeder for stacked chicken cages includes stacked chicken cages, with side-mounted feeders symmetrically installed on both sides of the stacked chicken cages. Each side-mounted feeder includes a walking device, a feed hopper, a track, a motor, and a reversing wheel. The track, the motor, and the reversing wheel are all symmetrically installed on both sides of the stacked chicken cages. The walking device is rolled on the track, and its two ends are connected to the two ends of a traction rope to form a closed loop structure. The traction rope is tensioned through the drive wheel on the motor and the reversing wheel. The feed hopper is installed on the walking device.

[0006] A further technical solution is: the walking device includes a frame, walking wheels, and rope tensioners; the walking wheels are symmetrically arranged and rotatably mounted on the frame; and the two rope tensioners are respectively mounted at both ends of the frame; wherein, The rope tensioner includes a rope winding shaft, a ratchet, a pawl, and a lever. The rope winding shaft is rotatably mounted on the frame. The ratchet and the lever are both mounted on the outer end of the rope winding shaft. One end of the pawl is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the other end of the pawl is adapted to the outer teeth of the ratchet.

[0007] A further technical solution is that a rope-winding rod is provided on the rope-winding shaft.

[0008] A further technical solution is that a limiting shaft that cooperates with the tensioner is provided inside the frame.

[0009] A further technical solution is: the cylinder is provided with a flange, the flange is provided with a plurality of first pin holes evenly arranged along the circumferential direction, and the frame is provided with at least one second pin hole that matches the first pin holes.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the lever is provided with a through hole that is compatible with the pry bar.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the walking device is equipped with an anti-derailment U-shaped clip.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects: This utility model proposes a side-mounted feeder for stacked breeding cages. This side-mounted feeder can avoid the problems of deformation of the top cage frame and slow feeding caused by traditional straddle-type feeders. The side-mounted feeder can work in conjunction with straddle-type feeders to meet the feeding needs of ultra-high-rise breeding equipment. Moreover, the side-mounted feeders on both sides of the stacked chicken cage can work independently without interfering with each other, which facilitates feeding and spreading.

[0013] The walking mechanism of this side-mounted feeder can quickly connect and tighten the traction rope using a rope tensioner. During tightening, the rope winding shaft is rotated to tighten the traction rope. The ratchet and pawl structure prevents the rope winding shaft from reversing, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of the traction rope tightening. Moreover, after the traction rope is tightened and the machine enters the working state, the traction rope is not prone to loosening from the walking mechanism, which could lead to the traction rope becoming too loose or coming off the rope tensioner.

[0026] This implementation example Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a side-mounted feeder for stacked chicken cages includes a stacked chicken cage 18, with side-mounted feeders 19 symmetrically installed on both sides of the stacked chicken cage 18. The side-mounted feeder 19 includes a walker 13, a feed bin 14, a track 15, a motor 16, and a reversing wheel 17. The track 15, motor 16, and reversing wheel 17 are all symmetrically installed on both sides of the stacked chicken cage 18. The walker 13 is rolled on the track 15. The two ends of the walker 13 are connected to the two ends of the traction rope to form a closed loop structure. The traction rope is tensioned through the drive wheel on the motor 16 and the reversing wheel 17. The feed bin 14 is installed on the walker 13.

[0027] The stacked chicken cage 18 is an ultra-high-rise chicken cage. Using a single straddle-type feeder can easily cause deformation of the top cage frame. Furthermore, users find side-mounted feeders slow. Using a side-mounted feeder 19 allows it to work in conjunction with the straddle-type feeder to meet the feeding needs of ultra-high-rise farming equipment. Moreover, the side-mounted feeders on both sides of the stacked chicken cage 18 can operate independently without interference, facilitating feeding and distribution. The motor 16 rotates, driving the walker 13 back and forth on the track 15 via a traction rope. The feed hopper 14 on the walker 13 distributes feed back and forth into the feed trough of the chicken cage. Example

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment, for example Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the walking device 13 includes a frame 1, walking wheels 2, and rope tensioners 3. The walking wheels 2 are symmetrically arranged and rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the two rope tensioners 3 are respectively installed at both ends of the frame 1; wherein, The rope tensioner 3 includes a rope winding shaft 4, a ratchet 5, a pawl 6, and a lever 7. The rope winding shaft 4 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The ratchet 5 and the lever 7 are both mounted on the outer end of the rope winding shaft 4. One end of the pawl 6 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the other end of the pawl 6 is adapted to the outer teeth of the ratchet 5.

[0029] The feed feeder 14 is mounted on both sides of the stacked breeding cage via the walker 13. The motor is connected to the walker 13 via a traction rope, and the traction rope is tightened. The motor rotates, causing the feed feeder 14 to move back and forth and distribute feed. When connecting the traction rope to the walker, the traction rope is first wound around the winding shaft 4. Then, the winding shaft 4 is rotated to wind up the traction rope. At this time, the structure formed by the ratchet 5 and the pawl 6 will not affect the rotation of the winding shaft 4 when winding up the traction rope (called forward rotation). When tightening the traction rope, after each forward rotation of a certain angle, the ratchet 5 and the pawl 6 will prevent the winding shaft 4 from reversing until the rope tightening work is completed. This effectively ensures the smooth progress of the traction rope tightening work. Moreover, after the traction rope is tightened, the traction rope is not easy to loosen from the walker 13 after the walker 13 starts working, which would lead to the phenomenon of the traction rope being too loose or coming off the tightener.

[0030] Preferably, the rope-winding shaft 4 is provided with a rope-winding rod 8.

[0031] After the traction rope is wound around the rope winding shaft 4, it can be easily knotted with the help of the rope winding rod 8.

[0032] Preferably, the frame 1 is provided with a limiting shaft 9 that cooperates with the rope tensioner 3.

[0033] The limiting shaft 9 can prevent the traction rope from rubbing against the two inner sides of the frame 1 during winding. Example

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment shows that a flange 10 is provided on the cylinder 7, and a plurality of first pin holes 11 are uniformly provided on the flange 10 along the circumferential direction. At least one second pin hole 12 adapted to the first pin holes is provided on the frame 1.

[0035] After the traction rope is wound and tightened, the safety pin can be inserted into the first pin hole 11 and the second pin hole 12 for secondary fixation to prevent the rope tensioner 3 from loosening.

[0036] Preferably, the lever 7 is provided with a through hole that is compatible with the pry bar.

[0037] The lever, also known as the force lever, is inserted into the through hole of the lever 7. By using the lever principle, the lever 7 is rotated in a way that saves effort, thus completing the rope tightening work.

[0038] Preferably, the walker 13 is equipped with an anti-derailment U-shaped clip 20.

[0039] The anti-derailment U-shaped clip 20 is positioned on both sides of the track 15, serving the purpose of preventing the walker 13 from derailing.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
