Abstract
An adjustable feeding device delivers livestock feed to a livestock farm, and includes a feed storage tank, an adjustable feeding device, and a directional discharging device. The feed storage tank stores the livestock feed. The adjustable feeding device has a top cover, a turntable, a fixed base, and an adjustable motor. The top cover is positioned above the turntable, which is connected to the adjustable motor. The diameter of the feed inlet on the top cover is smaller than the diameter of the turntable, and the diameter of the turntable is smaller than the diameter of the annular wall of the fixed base. When the livestock feed falls through the feed inlet of the top cover onto the turntable, the adjustable motor drives the turntable to rotate, causing the livestock feed to be transferred to the hollow area between the annular wall and the adjustable motor by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the turntable. The exhaust fan of the discharging device delivers the livestock feed to the livestock farm.
