DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an automatic feeding method in a fish farming facility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional feeding method suitable for comparison with the present invention, sowing by hand, or placing bait (granular) in the shape of a heap near a fish tank, and placing the bait in a hand by a person. There is a known method of feeding food into a tank by blowing it off with a fan.

Is there a disadvantage that the fish feed becomes sick due to contamination of the feed?
A specified time, such as once or twice specified within a day
Outputs an activation signal only for a specified period of time
A timer and an operation signal from the timer for a specified time
An actuating means, and an actuating means responsive to actuation of the actuating means.
A predetermined amount of bait from the bait storage container to the required location.
There is an automatic feeding device with a means for dispensing. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a food supply conduit having a food discharge port is laid over an upper part of a fish tank, and an appropriate amount of food is supplied to a base end of the conduit. A feeder provided with a feed storage tank to be fed into the conduit, and a blower for transporting the feed in the conduit by wind pressure are connected, and the feeder and the blower are automatically controlled by the automatic control means at set intervals. and driven to, to automatically release the fish tank food

[0007]

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a fish farming equipment for carrying out the method of the present invention.
A long conduit 2 for feeding the food is bridge-supported in the upper longitudinal direction of the fish tank 1. Outlets 3 are provided at required intervals in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3, the outlet 3 is formed by a notch having a side saw tooth shape, and a vertical side 3a thereof is formed.
The bait is guided to the tip of the conduit 2 while discharging a suitable amount of the food from each of the outlets 3 by the shape of the oblique side 3b. A diffusion nozzle 4 is provided at the tip of the conduit 2 and has two plates that are opposed to each other in a tapered shape.

A bait feeder 5 is connected to a middle portion of the conduit 2 on the base end side. The feeder 5 is composed of a feed storage tank 5a with a lid, a screw blade 5b for taking out food provided at a lower portion thereof, and a motor 7 connected to the screw blade 5b via a belt 6. A blower 8 is connected to the base end of the conduit 2, and the blower 8 and the motor 7 are connected to automatic control means such as a timer (not shown) so as to be remotely driven at set time intervals.

[0010]

When the feeding time set by the automatic control means arrives, the blower 8 is first activated to send the wind pressure to the conduit 2, and then the rotation of the screw blade 5b driven by the motor 7 causes the inside of the feed storage tank 5a to rotate. Conduit 2 with appropriate amount of food
The feed is supplied to the fish tank 1 through the outlets 3 and the diffusion nozzles 4 by the blowing pressure in the conduit 2.
Is diffused uniformly over the area of the motor, and after the discharge is performed for a set time, the motor 7 is controlled by a signal from the automatic control means.
And the blower 8 stops, and the feeding is completed.

Although not particularly shown, the entire feeding facility shown in FIG. 1 is covered with a cover such as vinyl or a house to protect fish farming from birds and to prevent the occurrence of disease infection of fish farming due to bird manure. I try to prevent it.

[0012]

According to the present invention as described above, the following effects can be obtained. (A) The feed supplied from the feed feeder by an appropriate amount is conveyed in the conduit by the wind force of the blower, so that feeding can be performed efficiently, and the feeder and the blower are set by automatic control means. Since it is automatically controlled by being driven every time, the feeding time can be precisely controlled without requiring any manpower . (B) The bait moving in the pipe by the blast pressure in the conduit is,
It is almost equally discharged from each discharge port, and the diffusion nozzle
From the fish tank and spread uniformly over the area
Is stopped for a set time,
Stop feeding is fruitful. ( C ) Since the automatic control is performed, the contact between the human and the bait is almost eliminated, and the occurrence of fish farming diseases which are easily caused by the contact can be effectively suppressed.
