Multi-staged cascading thermoelectric cooling system for use in a frozen fish food feeding apparatus

Abstract

A system may include a frozen fish food feeding apparatus with a cooling system and a feeding mechanism. The cooling system may include a first thermoelectric cooling device coupled to a second thermoelectric cooling device. The feeding mechanism may include a plurality of columns, each column structured to store a plurality of vertically stacked frozen fish food cubes and having a slot for the frozen fish food cubes to pass through. The feeding mechanism may further include a rotatable carousel rack housing the plurality of columns and operable to selectively rotate each column to a dispensing position in which the slot in the column is aligned with a plunger and a swinging food door. The plunger is operable to expel the frozen fish food cubes in the column in the dispensing position one at a time through the aligned slot and through the swinging food door into a fish tank.
