4A is a cross-sectional view illustrating an installation state of a container and an arrangement state of a pipe, and FIG. 4B is an enlarged view of the connection portion of the container and the circulation body of FIG. 4A.

4A and 4B, the iron structure 118 of the fish farm vinyl house is shown.

The rail 120 is suspended from the iron structure 118 through the connecting member 117. The rail 120 has a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape, and a flange 122 is formed at the bottom thereof and is horizontally bent to face inward. One side of the rail 120 is provided with an oil sump 124. The drip tray 124 is for receiving the lubricating oil falling from the circulation body 130 or the rail 120.

As illustrated, the circulation body 130 is mounted on the rail 120. The circulation body 130 is circulated along the rail 120 and includes a roller 132 supported by the flange 122 of the rail 120. The circulation body 130 is equipped with a container 140 for holding the feed 142.

The pipe 174 is disposed along a predetermined path to one side of the steel structure 118. The pipe 174 is supported by the pipe support 176, one side is connected to each other through the joint pipe 178. The pipe 174 is a part constituting the air injection mechanism 170 and is connected to the compressor, and the opening 177 formed at the end thereof faces the container 140. One side of the pipe 174 is provided with a solenoid valve 179. The solenoid valve 179 is to open and close the air passage inside the pipe 174 as necessary.

5 is a view showing an example of the limit switch installation for detecting the moving position of the container.

As shown in FIG. 5, the bracket 144 is installed to protrude downward from the bottom surface of the container 140 suspended from the circulation body 130, and the limit switch support 175 is formed on one side of the pipe support 176. If the limit switch 180 is installed at the end thereof, the container 1410 circulating hanging on the circulator 130 may reach a predetermined position. Such a limit switch 180 may be disposed at the forefront and installed so as to operate when the preceding container 140 arrives at the target tank of the last point. In some cases, the limit switch 180 may be installed in the pipe 174 on the tank in front of the last tank and used as a signal to reduce the circulation speed of the circulation body 130.

Referring to FIG. 1 and the drawings below, the overall operation process will be described.

The circulator driving mechanism 150 is operated in the state of FIG. 1. Accordingly, the caterpillar 156 rotates by the driving sprocket 154 and the driven sprocket 155 to circulate the circulation body 130 in the counterclockwise direction. At this time, the roller 132 of the circulator 130 moves on the flange 122 of the rail 120. When the containers 140, which are suspended from the circulation body 130 at predetermined intervals by the movement of the circulation body 130, arrive at the front of the food storage 116 in turn, the worker feeds the food 142 to the container 140. Put them in order.

The limit switch 180 is activated when the first container 140 arrives at the second tank 112 from the last while the container 142 is filled with all the containers 140. When the limit switch 180 is operated, the circulation speed of the circulation body 130 is reduced by about 1/2. Then, when the first vessel 140 arrives at the last tank 112, the limit switch 180 installed in the pipe 174 or the like on the last tank 112 is operated, and the circulation body 130 stops in place. Accordingly, each container 140 is located at the center of each tank 112.

In this state, the air injection mechanism 170 is operated. Then, the solenoid valve 179 is operated to inject high pressure air toward each container 140. Accordingly, the feed 142 is dropped into each tank (112). Of course, the feed 142 is preferably used to knead the powder to make a small sphere.

After all of the feed 142 is supplied to the water tank 112, the operation of the air injection mechanism 170 may be stopped. Of course, it is preferable to install a pressure sensor inside the pipe 174 to automatically operate the compressor 172 when the air pressure inside the pipe 174 falls below a predetermined value.

As can be seen from the above description, by using the fish farm feed supply system according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly supply the feed to the fish farm of a large area with only one worker, thereby saving the manpower and time according to the feed supply. Can be.
