Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding trough technology, and more specifically, to an automatic feeding trough for chicken farming with anti-clogging function. Background Technology

[0002] In modern chicken farming, automatic feeders are crucial equipment for achieving large-scale, high-efficiency farming. Traditional automatic feeders for chickens typically use gravity feeding or simple screw conveyors, which present numerous problems in practical use.

[0003] On the one hand, gravity-feeding troughs are prone to feed accumulation and clumping, which can cause blockages at the feed inlet and make it impossible to guarantee a stable supply of feed, thus affecting the chickens' feeding. On the other hand, simple spiral conveyor feeders result in uneven distribution of feed in the trough, with some areas having too much feed and others having too little, which is not conducive to the chickens eating evenly and thus affects the uniformity of their growth and development. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and to propose an automatic feeding trough with anti-clogging function for chicken farming.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] An automatic feeding trough for chickens with anti-clogging function includes a mounting frame, on which a screw conveyor is mounted. A feed hopper with a conical bottom is mounted on the screw conveyor, and the feed inlet of the screw conveyor is connected to the discharge outlet of the feed hopper. The mounting frame is also equipped with a conveyor belt, and two baffles are arranged opposite each other on the conveyor belt frame to form a feeding trough with a horizontally movable bottom surface between the conveyor belt and the two baffles. The feeding end of the feeding trough is located below the discharge outlet of the screw conveyor.

[0007] Furthermore, the above solution includes a vibration component between the screw conveyor and the storage bin to further reduce clogging during the feeding process.

[0008] Furthermore, the above solution includes a fixed frame, which is mounted on the screw conveyor. The top of the fixed frame is connected to a support frame via multiple sets of springs. The support frame is connected to a storage bin, on which a vibration motor is installed. The discharge port of the storage bin is connected to the feed port of the screw conveyor via a flexible pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the above solution includes a scraping component installed at the discharge end of the feeding trough, which contacts its bottom surface, to facilitate the cleaning of feed adhering to the conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, the above-mentioned solution includes a beam plate, which is horizontally mounted on the ends of two baffles, and a through hole is provided on the beam plate, into which a scraper that contacts the conveyor belt is inserted.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the scraper is consistent with the width of the conveyor belt to improve the cleaning effect.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above solution, after the scraper contacts the conveyor belt, its top is higher than the beam plate, so as to facilitate its assembly and disassembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the conveyor belt is at the same level as the bottom of the mounting frame to improve the stability of the structure and facilitate feeding for the chickens.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above scheme, the width of the conveyor belt is 10-30cm.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model, through the cooperation of a screw conveyor and a storage silo, utilizes the forced conveying characteristics of the screw conveyor to avoid the accumulation and clumping of feed at the discharge port of the storage silo, thus solving the blockage problem in the feeding process from the source and ensuring the continuity and stability of feed delivery.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding trough formed by the conveyor belt and baffles, along with the cooperation between the conveyor belt and the screw conveyor, ensures that the feed is evenly distributed throughout the entire feeding trough. This guarantees that the chickens receive sufficient and uniform feed in all positions while feeding, which is conducive to the balanced growth of the flock and improves breeding efficiency.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0026] An automatic feeding trough for chicken farming with anti-clogging function, see attached. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1, on which a screw conveyor 2 is installed to flexibly adjust the conveying speed according to the scale of breeding and the feeding pattern of the chickens. A storage bin 3 with a cone-shaped bottom is installed on the screw conveyor 2, and the feed inlet of the screw conveyor 2 is connected to the discharge outlet of the storage bin 3 to realize the conveying of feed in the storage bin 3 by the screw conveyor 2.

[0027] The mounting frame 1 is also equipped with a conveyor belt 4 with a width of 10-30cm. The length of the conveyor belt 4 depends on the actual environment. Two baffles 5 are set opposite each other on the frame of the conveyor belt 4 so that the conveyor belt 4 and the two baffles 5 form a feeding trough with a horizontally movable bottom surface. The feeding end of the feeding trough is located below the discharge port of the screw conveyor 2, so that the feed output by the screw conveyor 2 can fall evenly and stably onto the feeding end of the feeding trough. Then, the feed is spread throughout the feeding trough by the movement of the bottom surface of the feeding trough.

[0028] This utility model integrates a screw conveyor 2 and a conveyor belt 4 through a mounting frame 1. The screw conveyor 2 is connected to a storage bin 3. The conveying speed can be adjusted according to the scale of breeding and the feeding pattern of the chickens. Its discharge port is aligned with the feeding end of the feeding trough formed by two baffles 5 and the conveyor belt 4 on the frame of the conveyor belt 4. After the feed is output by the screw conveyor 2, it falls into the feeding trough. Then, the operation of the conveyor belt 4 makes the feed evenly spread throughout the entire feeding trough, realizing automatic feeding without clogging.

[0029] In use, after fixing the feeding trough with the mounting frame 1, adjust the conveying speed of the screw conveyor 2 according to the breeding scale and the feeding pattern of the chickens, and feed into the storage bin 3. The feed enters the screw conveyor 2 through the discharge port of the storage bin 3, and falls from its discharge port to the feeding end of the feeding trough. Start the conveyor belt 4 to make the bottom of the feeding trough move horizontally, and finally make the feed evenly spread throughout the entire feeding trough, thus completing the automatic feeding operation.

[0030] In the above scheme, refer to the appendix Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the conveyor belt 4 is at the same horizontal level as the bottom of the mounting frame 1, so that the conveyor belt 4 is in direct contact with the ground.

[0031] Through the above design, not only is the overall height of the feeding trough significantly reduced, making it easier for chickens to eat, but the supporting pressure on the mounting frame 1 is also effectively reduced, enhancing the stability of the equipment, reducing potential safety risks caused by height, and achieving optimization of structural design and improvement of practicality.

[0032] To further improve the anti-clogging effect of the above solutions, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 As shown, a vibration component 6 is provided between the screw conveyor 2 and the storage bin 3.

[0033] Specifically, the vibration assembly 6 includes a fixed frame 61, which is mounted on the screw conveyor 2. The top of the fixed frame 61 is connected to a support frame 63 by multiple sets of springs 62. The support frame 63 is connected to the storage bin 3. A vibration motor 64 is installed on the storage bin 3. The discharge port of the storage bin 3 is connected to the feed port of the screw conveyor 2 by a flexible tube 65.

[0034] When in use, turn on the vibration motor 64. The vibration generated by the vibration motor 64 is transmitted to the spring 62 through the storage bin 3. The spring 62 drives the storage bin 3 to vibrate continuously, so that the feed can enter the screw conveyor 2 more smoothly from the storage bin 3 under the buffer of the flexible tube 65, avoiding blockage caused by feed accumulation.

[0035] In addition, regarding the above solution, to facilitate the cleaning of feed adhering to the bottom surface of the feeding trough (conveyor belt 4), please refer to the attached document. Figure 4-6 As shown, a scraper assembly 7 is installed at the discharge end of the feeding trough, which contacts its bottom surface.

[0036] Specifically, the scraping assembly 7 includes a beam plate 71, which is horizontally mounted on the ends of two baffles 5. A through hole 711 is provided on the beam plate 71, and a scraper 72 that contacts the conveyor belt 4 is inserted into the through hole 711. The width of the scraper 72 is the same as the width of the conveyor belt 4 to improve the cleaning range. In addition, after the scraper 72 contacts the conveyor belt 4, its top is higher than the beam plate 71 to facilitate its assembly and disassembly.

[0037] During use, the conveyor belt 4 continuously transports feed. When the feed moves to the discharge end with the conveyor belt 4, the scraper 72 will stick to the bottom surface of the conveyor belt 4 and scrape off the feed adhering to the conveyor belt 4, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the conveyor belt 4, keeping the bottom of the feeding trough clean, and avoiding the accumulation of feed residue.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
