[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, in the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and technologies are set forth for illustrative purposes rather than for limiting purposes, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details hindering the description of the present invention.

[0030] The breeding chicken feeding hopper provided by this utility model is as per the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 The assembly includes: a hopper body 10, a movable baffle 13, a drive assembly, and a conveying pipe 14. The hopper body 10 is provided with a feed inlet 12. The movable baffle 13 includes an adjacent horizontal plate 131 and an inclined plate 132. The horizontal plate 131 is horizontally and movably inserted into the side wall of the hopper body 10, and one side of the horizontal plate 131 extends out of the hopper body 10. The left side of the inclined plate 132 forms a discharge channel, and the right side of the inclined plate 132 and the area below the horizontal plate 131 form a closed space. The drive assembly is located inside the hopper body 10 and is connected to the movable baffle 13. It is used to drive the movable baffle 13 to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the size of the discharge channel and thus adjusting the discharge amount according to the requirements. The conveying pipe 14 is located at the lower end of the hopper body 10, and the portion of the conveying pipe 14 located inside the hopper body 10 has a discharge port 141. The discharge channel gradually narrows from top to bottom and is adapted to the discharge port 141.

[0031] Furthermore, according to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1It is known that the drive assembly includes: an adjusting screw 21, a guide tube 22, a first nut 23 and a second nut 24, wherein the adjusting screw 21 is rotatably disposed in the middle of the hopper body 10; the guide tube 22 is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting screw 21, and its middle part is connected to the middle part of the inclined plate 132; the first nut 23 is disposed on the adjusting screw 21 and threadedly connected to it, and the first nut 23 is connected to one side of the guide tube 22. Specifically, the first nut 23 is welded to one side of the guide tube 22. The first end of the adjusting screw 21 passes through the left side wall of the hopper body 10 and is provided with a nut 211. The second end passes through the right side wall of the hopper body 10 and is provided with a second nut 24 and a third nut 25 in sequence. The second nut 24 and the third nut 25 are threaded to the second end of the screw in opposite directions to fix the relative position of the adjusting screw 21, so that the adjusting screw 21 is rotatably set in the hopper body 10 without moving. An appropriate gap is left between the side wall of the hopper body 10 and the second nut 24, and a washer is provided.

[0032] In use, the adjusting screw 21 is manually driven to rotate the nut 211, which in turn drives the first nut 23 to move. The first nut 23 and the guide tube 22 can drive the inclined plate 132 to move horizontally. The horizontal plate 131 extends and retracts along the right side wall of the hopper body 10 to adjust the size of the feeding channel and thus control the feeding amount. This allows for adjustment of the feeding amount for different types of breeding chickens, or for chicks and adult chickens. The adjustment is convenient and avoids problems such as overfeeding chicks or underfeeding adult chickens. The feeding hopper has a wide range of applications and does not need to be changed to different capacities to meet different feeding needs.

[0033] Furthermore, according to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 It is known that a baffle 30 is installed inside the hopper body 10 below the inclined plate 132, and a vibrating steel ball 31 is installed above the baffle 30 on the right side of the inclined plate 132. Specifically, the enclosed space formed by the movable baffle 13 is larger than the volume of the vibrating steel ball 31, allowing the vibrating steel ball 31 to oscillate up, down, left, and right within the enclosed space, thus preventing it from getting stuck. The function of the vibrating steel ball 31 is to maintain vibration during feed feeding, preventing feed caking and bridging, avoiding poor feeding or blockage, and improving feeding efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, according to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 It can be seen that the stop bar 30 is located diagonally above the material discharge port 141, which can avoid blocking the material discharge while supporting the vibrating steel ball 31.

[0035] Furthermore, according to the instruction manual appendix Figure 3 It can be seen that the lower end of the inclined plate 132 is V-shaped and is adapted to the feed drop channel, which can guide the feed flow and prevent the feed from entering the enclosed space and causing the feed to get stuck.

[0036] Furthermore, according to the instruction manual appendixFigure 1 It can be seen that the angle between the inclined plate 132 and the horizontal plate 131 is in the range of 115°-130°. According to the actual production operation experience of the technicians, the movable baffle 13 in this range has better performance. The specific angle can be finely adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0037] Furthermore, the guide tube 22 is connected to the inclined plate 132 by welding.

[0038] Furthermore, according to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 It can be seen that a top plate 11 is provided on one side of the feed inlet 12 above the hopper body 10, and a square feed inlet 12 is formed on one side of the top plate 11, which is compatible with the feed feeding device's discharge pipe.
