Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、養殖魚等に餌を与える給餌装置の改良に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種の給餌装置を図４により説明する。５１は餌を収容するホッパー、５２は回転羽根、５３は回転羽根５２を回転させるギヤモータ、５４は排出口、５５は排出経路、５６は排出経路５５に送風する送風機である。
【０００３】
機器の運転開始に伴って送風機５６が始動し、次いでギヤモータ５３に給電が行われる。これにより回転羽根５２が動作し、餌が崩れて排出口５４から排出経路５５に落下する。落下した餌は、送風機５６よりの風圧を受けて機外に排出される。その後、運転停止操作等がなされると回転羽根５２と送風機５６が停止し、給餌完了となる。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで前記した給餌装置は、運転停止動作と同時に回転羽根５２が停止するようになっている。従って、多くの場合は排出口５４が開いており、振動等があるとホッパー５１内の餌が排出経路５５に容易に崩れ落ちることとなる。餌は一般に湿気を吸収し易いものが多い。そのため崩れ落ちた餌は湿気て図５のように排出経路５５にへばり付き、これが餌の吹き飛びを阻害して給餌に支障をもたらす。さらに、排出経路５５内に餌が残っていると、害虫、小動物が侵入する原因になるといった不具合もある。
この発明は係る課題を解決することを目的になされたものである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明の給餌装置は、餌を収容するホッパーと、ホッパーの底面に設けられた回転羽根と、回転羽根を回転させるギヤモータと、餌をホッパー外に排出させるための排出口と、排出口から排出された餌が流入する排出経路と、排出経路に送風する送風機と、前記回転羽根に蓋部を設けると共に、蓋部が排出口を閉塞する位置にあることを検出する位置検出手段と、該位置検出手段の検出結果に基づいてギヤモータを停止させる停止手段を備え、送風機はギヤモータの駆動前に始動するとともに停止手段がギヤモータを停止させた後しばらくしてから停止する構成からなる。
【０００６】
【作用】
この構成によれば、蓋部が排出口を閉塞する位置にあることを位置検出手段が検出してギヤモータを停止させるので、運転停止時は排出口が閉塞状態にあり、排出経路に餌が崩れ落ちることを防止でき、また、送風機はギヤモータが停止してからしばらくは駆動し続けるので、排出経路の餌が完全に排出されてから運転停止となる。
【０００７】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の一実施例を図面により説明する。図１、図２において、１は給餌装置の筐体、２は養殖魚等に与える粒状、ペレット状等の餌を収容するホッパー、３はホッパー２の底面に設けられた排出口、４は回転羽根である。回転羽根４には、ここでは排出口３を閉塞させるための、図３の分解図で示すようなリボン形の蓋部５を設けてある。蓋部５はここではリボン形であるが、この形状に限定するものではない。蓋部５の一端には、マグネット６が配設され、ホッパー２の底面にマグネット６によってＯＮ・ＯＦＦする位置検出手段としてのリードスイッチ７を設けてある。
【０００８】
８は回転羽根４を回転させるギヤモータ、９は排出経路で、該排出経路９は鉛直通路１０を介して排出口３と連通している。排出経路９の一端には送風機１１が配設され、他端の吐出口１２は筐体１外に若干突出し開口している。１３は電装部品の動作を制御する制御部で、ここには運転を停止する際にリードスイッチ７がＯＮしたときにギヤモータ８への給電を停止させる停止手段１４等、各種の手段が備えられている。なお、停止手段１４等は、実際にはマイクロコンピュータに構成される。
【０００９】
次に上記した構成における動作を説明する。ホッパー２に餌が収容されており、この状態で図示しない運転スイッチを操作する、若しくは設定されたタイマ時刻になると、運転開始となり送風機１１が始動する。短時間後、送風機１１の送風量が十分に上昇すると、ギヤモータ８に給電がなされて回転羽根４が回転始動する。よって、ホッパー２内の餌は少量づつ排出口３から排出経路９に落下し、風圧を受けて吹き飛ばされ、吐出口１２から筐体１外に勢いよく排出される。
【００１０】
係る給餌が所定時間継続、若しくは停止スイッチが操作されたようなときは、運転停止動作が実行される。運転停止動作については、回転羽根４と一緒に回転する蓋部５のマグネット６の無い側が排出口３全体を被覆した位置になると、リードスイッチ７がＯＦＦからＯＮに変わるので、これを検出して停止手段１４がギヤモータ８への給電を止める。つまり、常に排出口３を閉塞する所定位置で回転羽根４が停止するので、これ以降、振動等を受けても、ホッパー２内の餌が排出経路９に落下することを完全に防止できる。
【００１１】
回転羽根４が止まった後も、送風機１１は暫く駆動し続ける。これは、排出経路９内の餌を完全に排出させるためである。そうして送風機１１が止まって運転停止となるが、既述した如く排出経路９に餌が崩れ落ちてくることがないので、餌が湿気て次回の給餌時に支障が生じるといったことが有効に防止される。
【００１２】
【発明の効果】
以上に説明したとおり本発明の給餌装置は、ギヤモータが回転させる回転羽根に蓋部を設けると共に、蓋部が排出口を閉塞する位置にあることを検出する位置検出手段を配設し、該位置検出手段の検出結果に基づいてギヤモータを停止させる停止手段を備え、さらにギヤモータが停止した後もしばらくは送風機を回転させるようにしている。そのため、機器は蓋部が排出口を閉塞した状態で運転を停止し、排出口から排出経路に餌が崩れ落ちることが防止できるとともに、排出経路に残った餌を全て装置外に排出させた後運転が停止されるので、餌が湿気たり、害虫や小動物が侵入するといったことがなく、長期に亘って正常な給餌が行えるといった優れた効果を奏する。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to an improvement of a feeding device that feeds cultured fish and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional feeding apparatus of this type will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 51 denotes a hopper for containing bait, 52 denotes a rotary blade, 53 denotes a gear motor that rotates the rotary blade 52, 54 denotes a discharge port, 55 denotes a discharge path, and 56 denotes a blower that blows air to the discharge path 55.
[0003]
The blower 56 is started along with the start of operation of the device, and then power is supplied to the gear motor 53. As a result, the rotary blade 52 operates, and the bait collapses and falls from the discharge port 54 to the discharge path 55. The dropped bait receives the wind pressure from the blower 56 and is discharged out of the machine. Thereafter, when an operation for stopping the operation is performed, the rotary blade 52 and the blower 56 are stopped, and feeding is completed.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, as for the above-mentioned feeding apparatus, the rotary blade 52 stops simultaneously with the operation stop operation. Therefore, in many cases, the discharge port 54 is open, and if there is vibration or the like, the bait in the hopper 51 easily collapses into the discharge path 55. Many baits are generally easy to absorb moisture. Therefore, the fallen bait becomes wet and spreads on the discharge path 55 as shown in FIG. 5, which hinders the blowing of the bait and hinders feeding. Furthermore, if food remains in the discharge path 55, there is a problem that pests and small animals may invade.
The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving such problems.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a feeding device of the present invention includes a hopper for containing food, a rotary blade provided on the bottom surface of the hopper, a gear motor for rotating the rotary blade, and a discharge for discharging food to the outside of the hopper. An outlet, a discharge path through which bait discharged from the discharge port flows, a blower that blows air to the discharge path, and a lid portion provided on the rotary blade, and detecting that the lid portion is in a position to close the discharge port A position detection means and a stop means for stopping the gear motor based on the detection result of the position detection means, and the blower starts before driving the gear motor and stops after a while after the stop means stops the gear motor Consists of.
[0006]
[Action]
According to this configuration, since the position detecting means detects that the lid portion is in a position to close the discharge port and stops the gear motor, the discharge port is in a closed state when the operation is stopped, and the bait collapses in the discharge route. In addition, since the blower continues to be driven for a while after the gear motor is stopped, the operation is stopped after the bait in the discharge path is completely discharged .
[0007]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, 1 is a housing of a feeding device, 2 is a hopper that accommodates food to be given to aquaculture fish, etc., 3 is a discharge port provided on the bottom surface of the hopper 2, and 4 is a rotation It is a feather. The rotary blade 4 is provided with a ribbon-shaped lid portion 5 as shown in the exploded view of FIG. 3 for closing the discharge port 3 here. The lid portion 5 is a ribbon shape here, but is not limited to this shape. A magnet 6 is disposed at one end of the lid 5, and a reed switch 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the hopper 2 as position detecting means that is turned on and off by the magnet 6.
[0008]
Reference numeral 8 denotes a gear motor that rotates the rotating blade 4, and 9 denotes a discharge path. The discharge path 9 communicates with the discharge port 3 through a vertical passage 10. A blower 11 is disposed at one end of the discharge path 9, and a discharge port 12 at the other end protrudes slightly from the housing 1 and opens. Reference numeral 13 denotes a control unit that controls the operation of the electrical components. This is equipped with various means such as a stopping means 14 that stops power supply to the gear motor 8 when the reed switch 7 is turned on when the operation is stopped. Yes. The stop means 14 and the like are actually configured in a microcomputer.
[0009]
Next, the operation in the above configuration will be described. The bait is accommodated in the hopper 2, and when the operation switch (not shown) is operated in this state or when the set timer time is reached, the operation is started and the blower 11 is started. After a short time, when the amount of air blown by the blower 11 is sufficiently increased, power is supplied to the gear motor 8 and the rotary blade 4 starts rotating. Accordingly, the bait in the hopper 2 falls from the discharge port 3 to the discharge path 9 little by little, is blown off by receiving wind pressure, and is discharged from the discharge port 12 to the outside of the housing 1 vigorously.
[0010]
When such feeding continues for a predetermined time or when the stop switch is operated, the operation stop operation is executed. Regarding the stop operation, when the side without the magnet 6 of the lid 5 rotating together with the rotary blade 4 is in a position covering the entire discharge port 3, the reed switch 7 changes from OFF to ON. The stop means 14 stops the power supply to the gear motor 8. That is, since the rotary blade 4 always stops at a predetermined position where the discharge port 3 is closed, it is possible to completely prevent the bait in the hopper 2 from dropping into the discharge path 9 even after receiving vibration or the like.
[0011]
Even after the rotary blade 4 stops, the blower 11 continues to be driven for a while. This is because the bait in the discharge path 9 is completely discharged. As a result, the blower 11 stops and the operation is stopped. However, as described above, the bait does not collapse and fall into the discharge path 9, so that it is effectively prevented that the bait is damp and troubles occur at the next feeding. The
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the feeding device of the present invention is provided with a lid portion on the rotating blades rotated by the gear motor, and is provided with position detecting means for detecting that the lid portion is in a position closing the discharge port. Stop means for stopping the gear motor based on the detection result of the detection means is provided , and the blower is rotated for a while after the gear motor stops. Therefore, the equipment stops operation with the lid part closing the discharge port, and prevents the food from collapsing from the discharge port to the discharge route, and also operates after all the food remaining in the discharge route is discharged outside the device. Therefore, there is no moisture in the feed, no pests or small animals invades, and there is an excellent effect that normal feeding can be performed for a long time.
