Abstract

A feeding system for aquaculture is proposed. The system can shoot out fodder into fish cage with volume control and throwing accuracy. The system consists of a feeding pipe, a gimbal mechanism, a fodder container, a switching partition device, a thrust generator and a control device. The feeding pipe is directed to the desired target position and the gimbal mechanism can help adjust the aiming angles. The fodder container can be a fodder buffer and be connected to the switching partition device. The partition spaces can switch and control the fodder volume into the feeding pipe. And the thrust generator can provide the propulsion to accelerate or push the fodder out of feeding pipe and reach the desired location. With these rnodules integrated together via the control device, the fodder can be driven and shot to the desired area in the fish cage.

Description

Feeding equipment for aquaculture

This creation is about aquaculture feeding equipment, especially about the ability to automatically and accurately project the breeding feed to the predetermined direction and the target point in the fish farm.

In recent years, the demand for aquatic food has grown rapidly due to the growth of the global population, so aquaculture is very prosperous. Aquaculture can meet the increased demand for aquatic products and also protect wild aquatic products from extinction, and aquaculture solves many human problems. Aquaculture requires feeding equipment to feed fish, especially in the vast farms. In order to save more costs, feeding equipment is needed to improve breeding efficiency.

Due to wind cutting and other problems, traditional bait casting equipment causes unstable projection of feed, sputtering around, and uncontrollable projection distance, resulting in a waste of cost, and sometimes even causing fish to collide with each other or rub against the box net, causing casualties. This results in poor breeding efficiency and high costs. Therefore, a feeding equipment that can stably control the amount of feed projection, the distance and direction of projection is required to reduce breeding costs and increase breeding efficiency.

In view of the above, the bait casting equipment provided according to the present creation can reduce the waste of feed and project the feed body to a predetermined position according to a predetermined direction, angle and distance, and can effectively disperse the projection points to avoid damage caused by fish rushing for food.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a feeding device for projecting feed to feed fish in a fish farm, comprising: a feeding tube for feeding the feed; a rotating mechanism for driving the feeding tube three-dimensionally; feed filling part, used to accommodate feed; a compartment switching mechanism, with a plurality of rotatable partitions, dividing the internal space into a plurality of compartments to respectively accommodate the feed input from the feed filling part; a pressurizing device to generate thrust to push the feed to the feeding pipe; a conduit, connected to the pressurizing device, the feed output port of the cabin switching mechanism, and the feeding pipe, so as to guide the thrust to push the feed output from the feed output port to the feeding pipe; and a control device , control the rotating mechanism to drive the feeding tube three-dimensionally, project the feed at a predetermined angle, direction and distance, and control the pressurizing device to generate a predetermined thrust to push the feed to the feeding tube.

Preferably, the pressurizing device is a blower or a hydraulic press, and the conduit is made of flexible material.

Still preferably, the control device can control the rotational speed of the plurality of partitions of the compartment switching mechanism, the pressure exerted by the pressurizing device, and the vibration frequency of the vibration device, so as to control the amount and rate of the feed thrown out.

This creation is equipped with a cabin switching mechanism, which can solve the power cost loss and feed waste caused by the return air may cause insufficient pressure and the return air may prevent the feed from falling down, and the rotating mechanism can be controlled by the control device. The feeding tube is rotated three-dimensionally so that the feed can be accurately delivered to the target point, reducing the problems of feed waste and fish damage, and significantly increasing the breeding efficiency.

Aquaculture is carried out in specific fields such as ponds, box nets, etc., and the aquaculture targets can be a variety of fish, shrimp, shellfish and so on. In this specification, cage net culture will be used as an example. In the following description, the embodiments of the present creation will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but it should be understood that the following is only an example to illustrate the present creation, so as to help understand the spirit and principle of the present creation, but not to limit the present creation .

An embodiment of a bait-casting apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view showing a bait-casting apparatus 100 according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the bait feeding device 100 mainly includes a feeding tube 102, a rotating mechanism 104, a feed filling part 106, a cabin switching mechanism 108, and a vibrating device Device 110 , catheter 112 , control device 114 , and pressurization device 116 . The feeding tube 102 is used to project the feed out, the rotating mechanism 104 drives the horizontal motor and the vertical motor (not shown) through the control device 114 to three-dimensionally control the projection angle, direction or distance of the feeding tube 102, the feed filling part 106 and the cabin switching mechanism 108 together form a part of the feeding structure (which will be described in detail below), and a vibrating device 110 is installed near the outlet end of the feed filling part 106 and is controlled by the control device 114 to vibrate the feed body in the feed filling part 106 to facilitate smooth sliding. Entering the cabin switching mechanism 108, the conduit 112 is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 102, the cabin switching mechanism 108, and the pressurizing device 116.
