Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pet breeding, in particular to a pet feed throwing machine. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's quality of life and the growing demand for pet companionship, the pet industry has developed rapidly, and various pet-related products have emerged in an endless stream. Before pets are adopted, they are cared for in farms through efficient and scientific management. The feeding method of pet feed not only affects the healthy growth of pets, but also is related to the work efficiency and cost control of the farm.

[0003] Currently, in the process of pet breeding, a large number of pets need to be provided with a large amount of food every day. Due to the large size of the breeding farm and the large number of pets, it is impossible to throw the feed accurately and evenly to each area. The lack of accuracy and uniformity in throwing will cause some pets to be unable to obtain food in time, affecting the consistency of growth and development. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a pet feed throwing machine, which solves the problem that the accuracy and uniformity of throwing are insufficient, and some pets cannot get food, which affects their growth.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a pet feed throwing machine comprises a base, the upper surface of the base is provided with a pet cage and a T-shaped track, the height of the pet cage is higher than the position of the T-shaped track, the top of the T-shaped track is slidably connected with two support legs, a support plate is fixedly connected between the tops of the two support legs, the top of the support plate is fixedly connected with a support frame, the inner diameter of the support frame is fixedly connected with a storage bin, the bottom of the storage bin is rotatably connected with a discharging plate, the bottom of the discharging plate is rotatably connected with a connecting rod, the bottom end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected with a main rod, a sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom of the support plate, the top of the main rod is slidably connected with the sliding sleeve, a limiting piece is fixedly connected at the center position of the bottom of the support plate, the limiting piece is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, a cleaning mechanism is provided on the right side of the top of the support plate, the cleaning mechanism is used to clean residues, and a driving mechanism is provided on the rear side of the left support leg, and the driving mechanism is used to provide power.

[0006] The driving mechanism provides power to make the support legs slide on the T-shaped track. When the support legs move, the entire support plate and the parts connected thereto are driven to move together. During the movement, the main rod slides along the sliding sleeve. When the main rod moves to the arc groove on the T-shaped track, the position and force state of the main rod change due to the change in the shape of the track. The movement of the main rod is transmitted to the discharge plate through the connecting rod, so that the discharge plate rotates around the connection point between it and the storage bin.

[0007] When the main rod is at a specific position so that the front end of the connecting rod drops, the discharge plate flips downward, and the feed in the storage bin is thrown out from the gap between the discharge plate and the bottom of the storage bin and falls into the trough in front of the pet cage below. At the same time, the cleaning mechanism cleans the residue in the trough during the movement of the support plate.

[0008] This allows the feed to be thrown into each trough relatively evenly, avoiding the situation where some pet cages have too much or too little feed. The entire process is driven by the driving mechanism, which reduces manual operation, improves work efficiency, and reduces labor costs, thereby accurately and evenly throwing the feed into the trough in front of each pet cage, avoiding insufficient accuracy and uniformity in throwing.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes an air pump, which is fixedly connected to the support plate, the air pump input end is fixedly connected to a collection box, the top of the collection box is fixedly connected to a support tube, the front end of the support tube is fixedly connected to a telescopic tube, and the bottom end of the telescopic tube is fixedly connected to a suction head.

[0010] When the vacuum pump is started, negative pressure suction is generated, and the suction is transmitted to the telescopic tube through the collection box and the support tube. The telescopic tube has a certain elasticity and flexibility, and can maintain a certain length and shape under normal conditions. When the support plate moves, it drives the suction head to move in the trough. Due to the telescopic characteristics of the telescopic tube, the suction head can always keep in contact with the bottom of the trough. Under the suction of the vacuum pump, the feed residue in the trough enters the telescopic tube through the suction head, and then enters the collection box through the support tube to be collected;

[0011] The powerful suction provided by the vacuum pump can quickly and effectively suck the feed residue into the collection box, improving the cleaning efficiency. Timely cleaning of feed residue helps prevent bacterial growth and odor generation, providing a clean eating environment for pets. In conjunction with the operation of the entire device, no additional manual operation is required, saving labor costs.

[0012] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor, which is fixedly connected to the left supporting leg, and the rear sides of the bottoms of the two supporting legs are rotatably connected to extrusion wheels, and the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to the left extrusion wheel.

[0013] The drive motor is started, and the output end of the drive motor drives the left extrusion wheel to rotate. Since the left extrusion wheel is fixedly connected to the drive motor, the rotational power of the motor can be directly transmitted to the left extrusion wheel. Both extrusion wheels are rotationally connected to the support legs, and the bottoms of the two extrusion wheels are driven by belts. When the left extrusion wheel rotates, the right extrusion wheel is driven to rotate synchronously through the transmission effect of the belt. The extrusion wheel contacts the T-shaped track. Due to the effect of friction, the extrusion wheel rolls on the T-shaped track, thereby driving the support legs and the entire device to move along the T-shaped track.

[0014] The drive motor provides stable power output to ensure that the device can move continuously and smoothly, avoiding jamming or insufficient power. The synchronous rotation of the two extrusion wheels is achieved through belt drive, which ensures the consistency and stability of the movement of the support legs and makes the operation of the entire device smoother.

[0015] Preferably, a thrust spring is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the sliding sleeve, and the front end of the thrust spring is fixedly connected to the main rod.

[0016] Preferably, a food trough is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pet cage, and a food cavity is opened on the top of the food trough.

[0017] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove is provided at the top of the T-shaped track, the main rod is located in the arc-shaped groove, and the bottom end of the main rod is slidably connected to the T-shaped track.

[0018] Preferably, a blocking plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the bottom of the storage bin.

[0019] Preferably, the suction head is located in the food cavity, and the bottom of the suction head is slidably connected to the food trough.

[0020] Preferably, the bottoms of the two extrusion wheels are fixedly connected to a rotating disk, and a belt is arranged between the surfaces of the two rotating disks.

[0021] When the main rod slides in the sliding sleeve, the thrust spring is in a compressed or extended state. When the main rod moves to the low-lying part of the arc groove, the elastic force of the thrust spring will push the main rod forward. As the supporting legs move on the T-shaped track, the main rod slides in the arc groove. When the main rod reaches different positions of the arc groove, its position and force state change, thereby driving the connecting rod and the discharge plate to move. At the same time, as the support plate moves, the suction head slides in the food cavity and absorbs the residue under the action of the vacuum pump.

[0022] Working principle: First, put the feed into the storage bin, the drive motor starts, drives the extrusion wheel on the left to rotate, and at the same time, the rotating disk at the bottom of the left extrusion wheel rotates together, and the belt drive drives the rotating disk on the right to rotate, and the extrusion wheel on the right also rotates, and the two extrusion wheels contact and rub with the T-shaped track, thereby driving the structure on the supporting leg to move together;

[0023] During the movement, the vacuum pump works, and the rebound characteristics of the telescopic tube enable the suction head to be close to the bottom of the food cavity. As the support plate moves, the suction head moves in the food cavity, thereby sucking the feed residue in the food cavity into the collection box, removing the remaining feed residue and preventing the spoiled feed from damaging the health of the pet.

[0024] At the same time, when the main rod moves on the surface of the T-shaped track, the T-shaped track will hold the main rod against the discharge plate, so that the discharge plate and the blocking plate are tightly fitted. At this time, the storage bin is in a relatively sealed state. Further, when the main rod moves into the arc groove, when it moves to the low-lying part in the arc groove, the bottom end of the main rod loses its supporting force, and the thrust spring releases the compressed kinetic energy to push the top end of the main rod forward. As the main rod moves, the connecting part of the main rod and the connecting rod is offset backward with the connection point between the limit piece and the connecting rod as the center of the circle, so that the front end of the connecting rod drops. At the same time, the thrust of the thrust spring and the weight of the feed on the discharge plate make the feed plate open quickly. Due to the gap between the discharge plate and the blocking plate, the feed is accurately and evenly thrown from the gap into the feeding trough in front of each pet cage.

[0025] The present invention provides a pet food throwing machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The arc shape of the arc groove is set in the present invention. When the main rod moves to the low-lying part in the arc groove, the thrust of the thrust spring and the weight of the feed on the discharge plate cause the front end of the connecting rod to move downward. Then, with the movement of the connecting rod, the discharge plate also flips downward, and a gap appears between the discharge plate and the blocking plate, so that the feed is accurately and evenly thrown into the feeding trough in front of each pet cage, avoiding the lack of accuracy and uniformity in throwing.

[0027] 2. The present invention uses the rebound characteristics of the telescopic tube to enable the suction head to be close to the bottom of the food cavity. As the support plate moves, the suction head moves in the food cavity, so that the vacuum pump works to suck the feed residues in the food cavity into the collection box, remove the remaining feed residues, and avoid spoiled feed that damages the health of the pet.

[0028] 3. The present invention drives one of the extrusion wheels to rotate through a driving motor, and at the same time, the rotation of the extrusion wheel drives the rotating disk at the bottom to rotate together, and the rotating disk is driven by a belt to drive another rotating disk to rotate, so that the second extrusion wheel also rotates. The extrusion wheel contacts and rubs with the T-shaped track, thereby driving the structure on the supporting leg to move together, and cooperates with the T-shaped track while moving, reducing the need for additional driving sources and reducing the complexity and cost of the equipment.

[0029] 4. The present invention can increase or decrease the number of T-shaped tracks, pet cages and food troughs according to the pet breeding environments of different scales, and adapt to breeding sites of different scales. When adapting to small-scale breeding sites, the number of T-shaped tracks, pet cages and food troughs can be reduced. When the breeding scale needs to be expanded, it is only necessary to increase the number of T-shaped tracks, pet cages and food troughs accordingly, thereby meeting the needs of breeding of various scales, realizing efficient and accurate feed throwing and residue cleaning, thereby effectively improving breeding efficiency and reducing management costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example:

[0041] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 8The embodiment of the present invention provides a pet feed throwing machine, including a base 1, a pet cage 3 and a T-shaped track 4 are arranged on the upper surface of the base 1, the height of the pet cage 3 is higher than that of the T-shaped track 4, two support legs 9 are slidably connected to the top of the T-shaped track 4, a support plate 7 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two support legs 9, a support frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 7, a storage bin 5 is fixedly connected to the inner diameter of the support frame 6, a discharge plate 18 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the storage bin 5, a connecting rod 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the discharge plate 18, a main rod 22 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 23, a sliding sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom of the support plate 7, the top of the main rod 22 is slidably connected to the sliding sleeve 20, a limiting member 24 is fixedly connected to the center position of the bottom of the support plate 7, the limiting member 24 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 23, a cleaning mechanism is arranged on the right side of the top of the support plate 7, and the cleaning mechanism is used to clean residues, and a driving mechanism is arranged on the rear side of the left support leg 9, and the driving mechanism is used to provide power.

[0042] The base 1 is in a shape with one side higher than the other. The pet cage 3 is located on the higher side, while the T-shaped track 4 is located on the lower side. This height difference helps to arrange the space more reasonably, and facilitates accurate throwing of feed into the pet cage 3. It also avoids the pet cage 3 interfering with the moving structure on the T-shaped track 4. The two support legs 9 are engaged with the T-shaped track 4 through the opening shape at the bottom.

[0043] The main rod 22 is divided into two parts, which are connected together by a rotating structure. When the upper part of the main rod 22 moves forward, the lower part of the main rod 22 remains vertical. The bottom of the main rod 22 rotates with a rotating shaft to reduce friction when the bottom end of the main rod 22 slides on the T-shaped track 4.

[0044] A connecting block is provided at the front end of the connecting rod 23, and a sliding groove exists in the connecting block. After the angle of the connecting rod 23 changes with the main rod 22, the connecting rod 23 changes its angle with the limiter 24 as the center point according to the lever principle. The limiter 24 limits and constrains the motion range of the connecting rod 23. The front end of the connecting rod 23 drops, so that the front end of the connecting rod 23 slides in the sliding groove on the connecting block, and the front end of the discharge plate 18 drops together with the front end of the connecting rod 23.

[0045] A gap appears between the discharge plate 18 and the blocking plate 19, so that the feed can be accurately and evenly thrown into the trough 2 in front of each pet cage 3, avoiding the lack of accuracy and uniformity of throwing. At the same time, the number of T-shaped tracks 4, pet cages 3 and troughs 2 can be increased or decreased according to the pet breeding environment of different scales to adapt to breeding sites of different scales. When adapting to small-scale breeding sites, the number of T-shaped tracks 4, pet cages 3 and troughs 2 can be reduced. When it is necessary to expand the breeding scale, it is only necessary to increase the number of T-shaped tracks 4, pet cages 3 and troughs 2 accordingly, thereby meeting the needs of breeding of various scales.

[0046] Please see attached Figure 8 The cleaning mechanism includes an air pump 11, which is fixedly connected to the support plate 7. The input end of the air pump 11 is fixedly connected to a collecting box 12, the top of the collecting box 12 is fixedly connected to a supporting tube 14, the front end of the supporting tube 14 is fixedly connected to a telescopic tube 15, and the bottom end of the telescopic tube 15 is fixedly connected to a suction head 26.

[0047] The vacuum pump 11 is a power component of the cleaning mechanism, which is powerful and can generate suction to form negative pressure, providing sufficient power for sucking feed residues. At the same time, the collection box 12 has a large internal space for storing the sucked feed residues. The support tube 14 plays a supporting and connecting role, providing a stable support for the telescopic tube 15. A spring is arranged in the wall thickness of the telescopic tube 15. When the suction head 26 is on the surface of the trough 2, the spring in the telescopic tube 15 contracts, and the telescopic tube 15 is in a contracted state. The bottom opening of the suction head 26 also rotates with a rotating shaft, and there is a rotating shaft at each of the two openings;

[0048] Through the resilience of the telescopic tube 15, the suction head 26 can be closely attached to the bottom of the feeding cavity 25, and the feed residues can be sucked into the collecting box 12, thereby removing the remaining feed residues and preventing the spoiled feed from damaging the health of the pet.

[0049] Please see attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 The driving mechanism includes a driving motor 8, which is fixedly connected to the left supporting leg 9. The rear sides of the bottoms of the two supporting legs 9 are rotatably connected to extrusion wheels 10, and the output end of the driving motor 8 is fixedly connected to the left extrusion wheel 10.

[0050] The driving motor 8 serves as a power source and is fixedly connected to the left supporting leg 9 through a solid connection to ensure that the position of the motor is stable during operation without shaking or shifting. The extrusion wheel 10 is made of rubber to generate friction to drive the entire device to move.

[0051] Please see attached Figure 6 A thrust spring 21 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 20 , and the front end of the thrust spring 21 is fixedly connected to the main rod 22 .

[0052] There is a rotating member at the top of the main rod 22, and the rotating member rotates with the main rod 22 and slides with the sliding sleeve 20 at the same time, and the front end of the thrust spring 21 is connected to the rotating member.

[0053] Please see attached Figure 2 A food trough 2 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pet cage 3 , and a food cavity 25 is opened on the top of the food trough 2 .

[0054] The feeding trough 2 and the pet cage 3 are connected together by welding. The feeding cavity 25 is rectangular in shape, but arc-shaped is adopted on both sides of the bottom. This shape is convenient for the suction head 26 to suck the feed residue and slide out of the feeding cavity 25 at the same time.

[0055] Please see attached Figure 7 An arc groove 13 is provided on the top of the T-shaped track 4, and the main rod 22 is located in the arc groove 13, and the bottom end of the main rod 22 is slidably connected to the T-shaped track 4.

[0056] The shape and size of the arc groove 13 are calculated and designed, and the arc profile thereof has a specific curvature and depth, and can cooperate with the main rod 22 , so that the movement of the main rod 22 is guided and restricted by the arc groove 13 .

[0057] Please see attached Figure 5 A blocking plate 19 is fixedly connected to the front end of the bottom of the storage bin 5.

[0058] When the main rod 22 does not enter the arc groove 13, the blocking plate 19 and the discharge plate 18 are tightly fitted, and there is no gap around them, so the feed is blocked to prevent the feed from falling. When the main rod 22 enters the arc groove 13, the discharge plate 18 falls downward, and the blocking plate 19 is separated from the discharge plate 18, and a gap is generated, and the feed leaks from the gap into the feeding cavity 25 of the feeding trough 2.

[0059] Please see attached Figure 4 With attached Figure 8 The suction head 26 is located in the food cavity 25 , and the bottom of the suction head 26 is slidably connected to the food trough 2 .

[0060] When the suction head 26 moves into the feeding cavity 25, the spring inside the telescopic tube 15 releases kinetic energy, popping the suction head 26 downward, so that the rotating shaft at the bottom of the suction head 26 contacts the feeding cavity 25. At the same time, the width of the suction head 26 is consistent with the width of the feeding cavity 25, thereby completely sucking up the remaining feed residues and maintaining the cleanliness of the feeding trough 2.

[0061] Please see attached Figure 4 The bottoms of the two extrusion wheels 10 are fixedly connected with rotating disks 17 , and a belt 16 is arranged between the surfaces of the two rotating disks 17 .

[0062] The rotating disk 17 and the extrusion wheel 10 are fixed together by welding, and can withstand various stresses and torques generated during operation. The two rotating disks 17 are connected by a belt 16, so that the two extrusion wheels 10 can rotate synchronously.

[0063] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
