Description

{Automatic feeding device for aquaculture}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic feeding device for fish farm animals, and more particularly, to an automatic feeding device for feeding fish farm poultry.

Most of the feeds supplied to the fish in the fish farm (or the farm) were pelletized and prepared in the fish farm itself. However, pelleting of these frozen live fish took a lot of manpower and work time.

In recent years, with the labor shortage becoming more severe, pellets of frozen live fish have been pelletized, and the contamination of rivers and oceans becomes increasingly severe when they are given to fish. This legislation prohibits the use of frozen live fish in pellets It is a losing situation.

However, in the past, most of the feeds that are transported through the tubular body were sprayed by using impellers. However, this problem has been pointed out because the tubular body is humid and the feed is melted. Feeding equipment that could be solved was desperately needed.

In the domestic registration office 20-0353417, an air solenoid valve connected to the injection pipe formed at the lower part of the hopper transfers the air supplied from the air compressor and the air tank into the injection pipe to form the feed stuffed in the injection pipe, , And it is installed in a large farm where a silencer is formed. By adjusting the throwing time, throwing frequency, throwing distance and throwing amount of the fish for cultivation fish, it is possible to automatically and easily throw away the throwing noise, Description of the Related Art [0002] A technique relating to an automatic feed cone of aquacultural fish which can be cultured is disclosed,

In the domestic registered utility model 20-0217412, there is provided a hopper in which a feeder is fed through an upper lid to the interior of a housing with a control panel on one side of its outer wall, An automatic feed feeder for aquaculture fish is disclosed which can control the number of times of feeding, the time of feeding, and the amount of feeding of the feed water fed to the discharge port equipped with the blower by interrupting and conveying the feed with the screw.

In addition, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0299023 discloses a method for feeding feedstock falling from a feed storage hopper to a feeder without breaking, comprising: a rotating body having a conical shape and having a plurality of streamlined projections formed on an upper surface thereof; Discloses a feeding device for feeding feed by a rotary plate constituted by several circular arc blades in order to feed the feeds to the fish while maintaining a circular state.

However, the conventional fish feed devices for aquaculture have been complicated in construction, and the production cost has been increased, and when the feed is thrown only within a certain range, it is difficult to throw a proper feed to a desired place.
