[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention uses a pressure sensor installed in the diaphragm to weigh the feed and displays the weight data on a control screen. When feeding the dairy cows, a motor located on the top of the cover drives a transmission wheel to rotate. Through a transmission belt, a connecting rod connected to the transmission wheel rotates synchronously, causing the diaphragm connected to the bottom of the connecting rod to rotate accordingly. During the rotation of the diaphragm, the feed inlet on its surface aligns with the inlet at the bottom of the feed hopper, allowing the feed to pass through the inlet. The feed is discharged and transported to the feeding trough via the discharge pipe. The motor is started and stopped by the PLC controller, causing the sealing plate to rotate intermittently. During the rotation, the stirring blades agitate the feed to prevent it from piling up and affecting its normal discharge. When the discharge reaches the predetermined weight, the sealing plate rotates to seal the bottom opening of the storage hopper, thus stopping the discharge. This allows the device to automatically feed according to the required amount of feed without manual intervention from the operator, simplifying the feed feeding process and improving the practicality of the device.

[0015] 2. This invention moves the abutment plate upward, separating one side of the abutment plate from the edge of the fixed plate. Then, the fixed plate is moved horizontally, separating the locking block on one side of the fixed plate from the locking interface. At this time, the elastic structure of the second spring drives the abutment plate downward, allowing the bottom of the abutment plate to be inserted into the fixing groove to temporarily fix the fixed plate. Afterward, the discharge pipe can be moved vertically downward, detaching its top from the storage tank, thus completing the disassembly of the discharge pipe for separate maintenance. This achieves convenient disassembly and assembly of the discharge pipe, facilitates cleaning, prevents food blockage from affecting the normal internal flow, and further improves the practicality of the device.

[0016] 3. This invention incorporates a second motor that drives a screw to rotate, enabling the sleeve post to move vertically and simultaneously move the connecting seat. This allows the connecting seat to extend outward from the base platform, supporting the entire base and allowing for height adjustment of the device within a certain range. This facilitates adjustment of the discharge pipe according to the height of the feeding trough. Furthermore, the use of electric rollers facilitates movement of the entire feeding device, ensuring even feeding into the trough and further enhancing the device's practicality.

[0036] Working principle of this invention: First, concentrated feed is added to the storage bin 3. At this time, the pressure sensor installed inside the diaphragm 5 monitors the weight of the concentrated feed in real time and transmits the weight data to the control screen 2 for display by the operator. When feeding the cows is required, the PLC controller 10 starts the motor 9 fixedly installed on the top of the cover 8. The drive shaft of the motor 9 drives the transmission wheel 11 to rotate. With the transmission action of the transmission belt 12 surrounding the transmission wheel 11 and the transmission wheel 13, the transmission wheel 13 rotates synchronously on the top surface of the cover 8. The rotation of the transmission wheel 13 drives the connecting rod 14 fixed inside it to rotate synchronously. The bottom end of the connecting rod 14 is inserted and fixed to the guide seat 7 at the center of the top surface of the diaphragm 5 through the limiting plate 16, thereby driving the diaphragm 5 to rotate accordingly at the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage bin 3. During the rotation of the sealing plate 5, the feed inlet 6 on its surface can coincide with the opening at the bottom of the storage tank 3, allowing the feed to be discharged through the opening under gravity and transported into the feeding trough by the discharge pipes 4 arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the bottom of the storage tank 3. During this process, the PLC controller 10 controls the start and stop of the motor 9, causing the sealing plate 5 to rotate intermittently to achieve quantitative feeding. At the same time, the stirring blade 15 on the surface of the connecting rod 14 rotates synchronously with the connecting rod 14 to continuously stir the feed in the storage tank 3, preventing the feed from accumulating and clumping and affecting its normal discharge. When the discharge amount reaches the preset weight, the PLC controller 10 controls the motor 9 to drive the sealing plate 5 to rotate to a position where the feed inlet 6 is completely offset from the opening at the bottom of the storage tank 3, thereby sealing the opening, stopping the discharge, and completing one automatic feeding cycle.
