Abstract:In response to the current situation that most of the bait feeders in pond culture rely on manpower, which is labor-intensive, and it is difficult to feed the baiting boats on steep sloping banks, an energy-saving feeding truck without power discharging has been designed. The truck uses a rotating discharging valve for feeding, and a scissor lift platform for adjusting the height of feeding. Through the design of the spherical limit rotating connector located at the discharge port of the rotating discharging valve to adjust the inclination angle of the feeding tube to realize the non-powered discharging,a new type of telescopic feeding tube is designed based on cylindrical cam. The feeding truck can realize directional, fixed-distance and fixed-point feed addition through the movement of the truck body, the lifting and lowering of the scissor lift platform, and the adjustment of the inclination angle and length of the feeding tube. The prototype of the feeding truck was made, and the feeding test was carried out with the baiting boat and stationary baiting machine as the feeding target, and the test results show that the feeding truck has the universality for different specifications of feeds, and the telescopic length of 1.2 m and the lifting height of 1.5 m can satisfy the feeding needs of the baiting boat and stationary baiting machine, and the adjusting is flexible, and the rate of feeding is 6.2 kg/min. The designed feeding truck is flexible in use, and it can replace the manual feeding to the baiting boat and stationary baiting machine. It can replace manual feeding for baiting boat and fixed baiting machine, reduce manual labor intensity, improve the mechanization level of breeding process, and lay the foundation for further automation and intelligence.
