Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding device, and more particularly to an automated feeding device for cattle sheds that provides on-demand feeding for intelligent cattle farming. Background Technology

[0002] Modern cattle farming refers to the livestock sector that takes cattle as its core. It is based on traditional cattle raising methods but incorporates modern management facilities. Modern cattle farming emphasizes breed selection and improved feeding conditions. Through large-scale, intensive, and standardized breeding models, it improves the quality and quantity of livestock products. Modern cattle farming is an important force driving the modernization of animal husbandry.

[0003] In traditional cattle barn feeding, feed addition usually relies on manual operation, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also inefficient, especially in large cattle barns or situations requiring frequent feeding, where the limitations of manual feeding are particularly evident. Furthermore, manual feeding can lead to uneven feed distribution, potentially hindering the growth and development of some cattle due to insufficient feed intake.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automated feeding device for cattle sheds that provides on-demand feeding for smart cattle farming. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional cattle shed feeding, which usually relies on manual operation and is prone to inefficiency and uneven feeding, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automated cattle shed feeding device that provides on-demand feeding for intelligent cattle farming.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automated feeding device for cattle sheds with on-demand feeding for intelligent cattle farming, including a conveyor belt, a feeding bin, a support platform, a fixed frame, a transmission component, a guide rail, a slider, a first cylinder, a first hopper, and a gravity sensor. The feeding bin is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform. A conveyor belt is set on one side of the support platform, and a fixed frame is set on one side of the conveyor belt. The guide rail and the transmission component are set on the side of the fixed frame facing the conveyor belt. A motor is installed inside the fixed frame, and the output shaft of the motor inside the fixed frame is connected to the transmission component. The guide rail and the transmission component are connected to a slider. A first cylinder is installed on the slider. The piston rod of the first cylinder is rotatably connected to the first hopper. A gravity sensor is installed at the bottom of the first hopper, and the first hopper is located above the conveyor belt.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the slider is fixedly connected to the transmission component.

[0008] As a further preferred option, a conveyor is installed at the bottom of the feeding bin, with the input end of the conveyor corresponding to the discharge port of the feeding bin, and the output end of the conveyor located above the conveyor belt.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, a second cylinder is installed on the side of the slider away from the first cylinder, the piston rod of the second cylinder is rotatably connected to a second hopper, and another gravity sensor is installed at the bottom of the second hopper.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, both the first hopper and the second hopper are rotatably connected to a rotating door in the width direction.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, both the first hopper and the second hopper are fixedly connected with inclined blocks along their length.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] First, it should be noted that in different described embodiments, the same components are given the same reference numerals or the same component names. The disclosure contained throughout this specification can be applied semantically to the same components having the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location descriptions selected in the specification, such as upper, lower, lateral, etc., also refer to the directly described and illustrated figures and are semantically applied to the new location when the location changes.

[0022] Example: An automated feeding device for cattle sheds with on-demand feeding for smart cattle farming, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a conveyor belt 1, a feeding bin 2, a support platform 3, a fixed frame 5, a transmission component 6, a guide rail 7, a slider 701, a first cylinder 8, a first hopper 9, and a gravity sensor 13. The feeding bin 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform 3. A conveyor belt 1 is installed on one side of the support platform 3, and a fixed frame 5 is installed on the other side of the conveyor belt 1. The guide rail 7 and the transmission component 6 are located on the side of the fixed frame 5 facing the conveyor belt 1. A motor is installed inside the fixed frame 5, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the transmission component 6. The guide rail 7 and the transmission component 6 are connected to the slider 701, and a first cylinder 8, a first hopper 9, and a gravity sensor 13 are mounted on the slider 701. A cylinder 8 is connected to a first hopper 9 via its piston rod. A gravity sensor 13 is installed at the bottom of the first hopper 9. The first hopper 9 is located above the conveyor belt 1. Here, a slider 701 is slidably connected to a guide rail 7 and is fixedly connected to a transmission component 6. The transmission component 6 consists of a belt and a pulley. The speed of the transmission component 6 is greater than the speed of the conveyor belt 1. When the conveyor belt 1 is started, it drives the feed to move away from the feeding bin 2. During the movement, the feed is intercepted by the first hopper 9. Subsequently, the feed enters the first hopper 9 under the drive of the conveyor belt 1.

[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a conveyor 4 is installed at the bottom of the feeding bin 2. The input end of the conveyor 4 corresponds to the discharge port of the feeding bin 2, and the output end of the conveyor 4 is located above the conveyor belt 1. Here, the design of the conveyor 4 can continuously and evenly transport feed, which is beneficial to the stability and smoothness of the device operation.

[0024] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a second cylinder 10 is installed on the side of the slider 701 away from the first cylinder 8. The piston rod of the second cylinder 10 is rotatably connected to the second hopper 11. Another gravity sensor 13 is installed at the bottom of the second hopper 11. Here, the design of the second cylinder 10 can connect the subsequent collection work when the first hopper 9 feeds, which not only prevents feed waste, but also enables the subsequent feeding work to be carried out quickly, effectively improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0025] like Figures 4-5As shown, both the first hopper 9 and the second hopper 11 are rotatably connected to a rotating door 12 in the width direction. Here, the design of the rotating door 12 can block the feed during the process of collecting feed in the first hopper 9 or the second hopper 11, preventing the feed from being squeezed and leaking outward when entering the first hopper 9 or the second hopper 11, thus effectively ensuring the working quality of the device.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, both the first hopper 9 and the second hopper 11 are fixedly connected with inclined blocks 14 along their length. Here, when the first cylinder 8 and the second cylinder 10 are in the retracted state, the inclined blocks 14 are in contact with the conveyor belt 1. The design of the inclined blocks 14 can provide a guiding effect for the feed, so that the feed can move more easily into the first hopper 9 or the second hopper 11, improving the collection efficiency of the first hopper 9 or the second hopper 11, and thus improving the work efficiency.

[0027] This device is used to add feed to the cattle shed for feeding operations. In use, sufficient feed is added to the feeding bin 2, and then the conveyor 4 is activated. The conveyor 4 transports the feed from the feeding bin 2 to the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 then moves the feed away from the feeding bin 2. During this movement, the feed is intercepted by the first hopper 9. The feed then enters the first hopper 9 under the influence of the conveyor belt 1. When the weight of the feed in the first hopper 9 reaches the preset value of the gravity sensor 13, the gravity sensor 13 sends an electrical signal to the first cylinder 8. The first cylinder 8 responds to the signal, and its piston rod extends outward, causing the connected first hopper 9 to move, tilting it away from the cylinder 8. At this time, the rotating door 12 flips under gravity, preventing it from blocking the feed in the first hopper 9. The feed is allowed to slide down under its own weight, falling into the feeding trough in the cattle shed. Simultaneously, as the first hopper 9 tilts, the second hopper 11 continues to intercept the moving feed, ensuring subsequent feed enters the second hopper 11. This reduces feed waste and improves feeding efficiency. When the feed in the second hopper 11 reaches the preset weight, the motor inside the fixing frame 5 is activated. The motor drives the transmission component 6 clockwise, which in turn moves the slider 701 away from the feeding bin 2. The slider 701 then moves the connected first hopper 9 and second hopper 11 to the next cattle shed area. The first hopper 9 then returns to its original position, and the second cylinder 10 is activated. The piston rod of the second cylinder 10 extends outward, causing the second hopper 11 to pour feed away from the cylinder 10, thus completing the feeding of the next cattle shed. This process is repeated until the work is finished.
