Detailed ways

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention discloses a bait feeding system and a bait feeding device, which detect the remaining material amount of the bait feeding machine, so as to grasp the remaining material amount, and take measures in time when the remaining material amount is insufficient, so as to ensure accurate feeding of bait .

Referring to FIG. 1 , the bait casting device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a bait box 1 and a residual material detection device 2 . The bait to be dropped is stored in the bait box 1 . Surplus material detection device 2 is fixedly installed on the top of bait box 1, and mainly includes ultrasonic distance measuring device. When detecting the remaining material, the ultrasonic ranging device sends ultrasonic waves vertically downward. The ultrasonic waves are reflected after encountering bait, and are received by the ultrasonic ranging device. The time t from transmitting the ultrasonic waves to receiving the reflected waves is recorded. According to the time t and the wave velocity of the ultrasonic wave, the distance AB from the top of the bait box 1 to the upper surface of the bait can be calculated, and the height AC of the bait box is known. Further calculation can obtain the current remaining material amount (expressed by the height of the remaining bait) H=AC- AB.

Experiments have proved that the detection blind zone of the ultrasonic distance measuring device is only 2cm, and the detection accuracy is high.

It can be seen from the above-mentioned structure and working process that the embodiment of the present invention uses an ultrasonic distance measuring device and according to the principle of ultrasonic reflection to measure and calculate the remaining material amount of the bait feeding machine, and realize the detection of the remaining material amount of bait feeding, so that relevant personnel can detect the remaining material amount of bait feeding according to the detection results. Timely feeding ensures the accurate delivery of bait.

Referring to FIG. 2 , a bait casting device provided by another embodiment of the present invention includes a bait box 1 , a residual material detection device 2 , a material throwing device 3 , a feeding pipe 4 , a bait valve 5 and a single-chip microcomputer 6 .

Wherein, the bait to be dropped is stored in the bait box 1 . Surplus material detection device 2 is fixedly installed on the top of bait box 1, and mainly includes ultrasonic distance measuring device. Throwing material device 3 is positioned at the below of bait box 1, and the two ends of feeding pipe 4 are connected with bait box 1 and material throwing device 3 respectively. The bait valve 5 is used to block the feeding pipe 4, thereby preventing the bait from entering the throwing device 3 from the bait box 1. The single-chip microcomputer 6 is used to control the opening or closing of the bait valve 5, and controls the starting or closing of the throwing device 3.

In addition, when the single-chip microcomputer 6 controls the throwing device 3 to close, it also controls the remaining material detection device 2 to stop working. Since the remaining material in the bait box 1 is constant when the throwing device 3 is not working, it is not necessary to detect the remaining material amount at this time, and the remaining material detection device 2 can be closed to reduce the load of the bait throwing device. Work burden; when the throwing device 3 is turned on next time, the remaining material detection device 2 can be turned on at the same time.

FIG. 3 is a schematic structural view of the throwing device 3 in FIG. 2 . The throwing device 3 is mainly composed of a throwing bin 31 , a throwing tray 32 and a throwing motor 33 . The throwing bin 31 is surrounded by a side wall 311 , a top cover 312 and a chassis 313 , the side wall 311 is provided with a throwing port 314 , and the top cover is provided with a connection port 315 of a feeding pipe 4 . The throwing tray 32 and the throwing motor 33 are arranged in the throwing bin 31 , the throwing tray 32 is fixed on the rotor of the throwing motor 33 , and the throwing tray 32 is provided with fan blades 34 . The start, stop and rotating speed of material throwing motor 33 are controlled by single-chip microcomputer 6. After the bait enters the throwing bin 31 from the bait box 1, it falls on the rotating throwing tray 32, and is thrown out by the throwing port 314 under the action of centrifugal force. The bigger the rotating speed of the material throwing motor 33 is, the bigger the rotating speed of the material throwing dish 32 is, and the centrifugal force that the bait is subjected to on the material throwing dish is also larger, thereby the distance thrown is also larger. Therefore, the single-chip microcomputer 6 can control the throwing distance by controlling the rotating speed of the throwing motor 33 .

In addition, because a small part of bait may not be thrown out through the throwing port 314, but falls from the gap between the throwing tray 32 and the side wall 311 under the rotation of the throwing tray 32, therefore, the throwing bin The chassis 313 of 31 is designed to be inclined upwards backwards, and becomes 45 degree angles with horizontal plane, and bait falls on the chassis 313, can slide out from throwing material opening 314 bottoms and fall into fishpond.

FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the bait valve 5 in FIG. 2 . Bait valve 5 is made up of valve motor 51, gear 52, tooth bar 53, tooth bar chute 54, switch catch 55 and support 56. The valve motor 51 and the rack chute 54 are fixed on the bracket 56, the gear 52 is fixed on the rotating shaft of the valve motor 51, the rack 53 is placed in the rack chute 54, and the rack 53 meshes with the gear 52; the switch stopper 55 is connected with rack 53. The area of the switch blocking piece 55 is not less than the cross-sectional area of the feeding pipe 4 .

The start, stop and turn to of the valve motor 51 are controlled by the single-chip microcomputer 6 . If the single-chip microcomputer 6 controls the valve motor 51 to rotate forward, the gear 52 drives the rack 53 to move away from the feeding pipe 4, so that the switch flap 55 is far away from the feeding pipe 4, the bait valve 5 is opened, and the bait passes through the bait box 1. The feeding pipe 4 enters the throwing bin 31, and the bait throwing begins. After the bait valve 5 was opened, the valve motor 51 was closed, and the bait valve 5 then remained open. On the contrary, if the single-chip microcomputer 6 controls the reverse rotation of the valve motor 51, so that the switch flap 55 is close to the feed pipe 4 until it completely blocks the feed pipe 4, the bait valve 5 is closed, no bait enters the throwing bin 31, and the bait throwing stops. . After the bait valve 5 was closed, the valve motor 51 was closed, and the bait valve 5 then remained closed.

In addition, the timing of baiting can be realized by a timer, that is, when the throwing motor 33 starts, the timer sends a timing command representing the duration of baiting by the single-chip microcomputer 6, and the timer starts counting; The valve motor 51 and the material throwing motor 33 can be closed. Considering that the opening and closing of the motor and the bait valve needs a certain amount of time, when the above-mentioned bait throwing device starts to throw bait, the single-chip microcomputer 6 starts the throwing material motor 33 first, and opens the bait valve 5 after a period of time delay (such as 2 seconds); Correspondingly, when stopping bait throwing, first close the bait valve 5, after a period of time delay (for example, 2 seconds), close the throwing material motor 33 again, avoiding the accumulation of bait in the throwing tray 32.

Referring to Fig. 5, the process of using the above-mentioned bait throwing device to throw bait is as follows:

After receiving the command to start baiting, the baiting device starts baiting under the control of the single-chip microcomputer 6 . Specifically, the single-chip microcomputer first starts the throwing material motor 33, and adjusts the rotating speed of the throwing material motor 33 according to the preset bait throwing distance, and drives the throwing material disc 32 to rotate. After a delay of 2 seconds, the bait valve 5 (501) is opened again.

Turn on the remaining material detection device 2 and the throwing material timer. The residual material detection device 2 detects the current residual material amount h of the bait box 1, and the timer records the bait feeding duration t (502).

Judging the relationship between the timing duration t of the timer and the feeding duration T of this time, the current remaining material amount h detected by the remaining material detection device 2 and the preset lower limit value H of the remaining material amount (503). This judging process can be completed by the single-chip microcomputer 6 ; it can also be completed by other processing devices to generate corresponding commands and feed them back to the single-chip microcomputer 6 .

If t=T, then the single-chip microcomputer controls bait throwing to stop (504), promptly closes the bait valve 5, the remaining material detection device 2 and the timer, and after a delay of 2 seconds, closes the throwing material motor 33.

If t<T and h≤H, the single-chip microcomputer 6 controls the bait feeding to stop and records the remaining bait feeding duration T'=T-t, (505).

After the manager has finished feeding the bait box, the remaining baiting time is used as the current baiting time (T=T') to restart the baiting (506).

Referring to FIG. 6 , an embodiment of the present invention also provides a bait-throwing system, including a bait-throwing device 01 , a remote transmission module 02 and a bait-throwing module 03 .

The bait box 1 is used to store the bait to be released, and the residual material detection device 2 can detect the remaining bait amount in the bait box 1 in real time, that is, the current residual material amount. One of the main components of the remaining material detection device 2 is an ultrasonic distance measuring device. Its structure and working principle are shown in Fig. 1 and the above-mentioned device embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

The remote transmission module 02 can remotely transmit data between the bait feeding device and the bait feeding module. For example, the current amount of remaining material detected by the remaining material detection device can be transmitted from the remote transmission module 02 to the bait feeding module 03.

The bait feeding module 03 includes a display module 031, which acquires the current amount of remaining material sent by the remote transmission module 02 and detected by the remaining material detection device 2, and displays the current amount of remaining material.
