An automatic feeding trough for yellow cattle breeding

Abstract

This invention relates to an automatic feeding trough for cattle farming, comprising a feeding trough for feeding cattle, and a movable processing and dispensing component at one end of the feeding trough for processing and dispensing cattle feed. The processing and dispensing component includes a movable seat that slides on the feeding trough, and a crushing box for crushing the feed is fixedly connected to the movable seat via an upper support frame. This invention involves inserting a switching sleeve into a pulley, causing a motor to drive two crushing rollers in the crushing box to crush the feed. After crushing, the switching sleeve is inserted into a gear, and the motor drives the movable seat to move along the feeding trough, causing the trapezoidal head in the hopper to slide and engage with the corresponding trapezoidal parts in each individual trough. This causes the stopper in the hopper to rise and fall, completing the process of dispensing approximate quantities of feed one by one. This avoids manual cutting and processing of the feed, as well as the process of actively dispensing quantitative feed, reducing manual intervention, avoiding human fatigue, and improving work efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cattle breeding technology, specifically an automatic feeding trough for cattle breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Forage and concentrate should be rationally combined. A diverse diet for cattle is essential, including a mix of concentrates, roughage, and succulent green fodder; energy feeds and protein feeds; and grasses and legumes. This diversification allows for complementary nutrients, improves palatability, and stimulates appetite. Because a variety of feeds are needed, changes to the daily ration are much easier than abrupt changes to a single feed. Feed small amounts frequently and carefully. Cattle love fresh grass, so to avoid waste and ensure a strong appetite, feed small amounts frequently. Adequate water intake is also crucial for metabolism. Cattle need sufficient water to perform normal metabolic processes.

[0003] Existing cattle farms have feeding troughs set up on one side of the cattle pen. Prepared feed is added to each trough by hand. Since cattle need to eat small meals frequently, the whole process is frequent, and it is easy for the manual caregivers to get tired. In addition, it is difficult to control the amount of feed added by hand. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to meet the above-mentioned need for automatic quantitative feeding of cattle feed troughs, this invention proposes an automatic feeding trough for cattle breeding.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution: An automatic feeding trough for cattle farming includes a feeding trough for feeding cattle. One end of the feeding trough is provided with a movable processing and dispensing component for processing and dispensing cattle feed. The processing and dispensing component includes a movable seat that slides on the feeding trough. The movable seat is fixedly connected to a crushing box for crushing the feed via an upper support frame. The lower part of the crushing box is connected to a feeding hopper for dispensing feed. The feeding hopper slides with a trapezoidal head on a trapezoidal part of the feeding trough to achieve feed dispensing. The movable seat is provided with a power component that can switch the output power direction to provide power for the movement of the movable seat and the crushing of the crushing box.

[0006] The feeding trough is divided into several individual troughs by partitions, each corresponding to the position of a yellow cattle. The feeding hopper is located directly above each individual trough and is used to distribute feed to each individual trough.

[0007] The movable seat slides in a T-shaped slide rail on the upper surface of the feeding trough via a sliding foot, and the sliding foot and the slide rail are rolled by ball bearings passing through the sliding foot.

[0008] The motor output end of the power component is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. A switching sleeve is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The two ends of the switching sleeve are a gear and a pulley rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft, respectively. The switching sleeve and the rotating shaft are keyway fitted together. The switching sleeve and the gear and the switching sleeve and the pulley are also keyway fitted together. The gear and the pulley are magnetically attracted to the switching sleeve by energizing a magnetic ring provided on the side.

[0009] The motor is connected to the gear through the switching sleeve, which drives the gear to mesh with the rack on the lower surface of the feeding trough to rotate, thereby moving the position of the movable seat.

[0010] The motor is connected to the pulley via the switching sleeve. The pulley drives the transmission gear in the crushing box to rotate via a belt. The transmission gear meshes with the two crushing rollers that are rotated in the crushing box to crush the food.

[0011] The hopper is provided with a cylindrical hopper body. A plug is provided at the discharge port of the hopper body. A limiting groove is formed on the side wall of the hopper body. A telescopic rod is slidably arranged inside the limiting groove. Arc-shaped baffles are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the telescopic rod to block the limiting groove. The two ends of the telescopic rod are respectively connected to the upper surface of the plug and the trapezoidal head. The trapezoidal head is slidably engaged with the trapezoidal component on each single groove to drive the plug body to move upward and open the discharge port of the hopper body.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention involves inserting a switching sleeve into a pulley, with a motor driving two crushing rollers in the crushing box to crush the grass. After crushing, the switching sleeve is inserted into a gear, and the motor drives a moving seat to move along the feeding trough. This allows the trapezoidal head in the hopper to slide into the trapezoidal parts corresponding to each individual trough, causing the plug in the hopper to rise and fall to complete the process of dispensing approximate quantities of grass one by one. This avoids manual cutting and processing of the grass, as well as the process of actively dispensing quantitatively, reducing manual intervention, avoiding human fatigue, and improving work efficiency.

[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention and not all of it. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an automatic feeding trough for cattle farming includes a feeding trough 1 for feeding cattle. One end of the feeding trough 1 is provided with a movable processing and dispensing component for processing and dispensing cattle feed. The processing and dispensing component includes a movable seat 2 that slides on the feeding trough 1. The movable seat 2 is fixedly connected to a crushing box 4 for crushing feed via an upper support frame 3. The lower part of the crushing box 4 is connected to a feeding hopper 5 for dispensing feed. The feeding hopper 5 is slidably engaged with a trapezoidal part 14 on the feeding trough 1 via a trapezoidal head 55 to achieve dispensing feed. The movable seat 2 is provided with a power component 6 that can switch the output power direction to provide power for the movement of the movable seat 2 and the crushing of the crushing box 4.

[0018] The feed trough 1 is divided into several individual troughs 11 by partitions. Each individual trough 11 corresponds to the position of one ox. The feed hopper 5 is located directly above the individual troughs 11 to distribute feed to each individual trough 11. The individual troughs 11 are designed to clearly understand the feeding situation of each ox, thereby judging the physical condition of each ox.

[0019] The movable seat 2 slides within a T-shaped track 12 on the upper surface of the feeding trough 1 via a sliding foot 21. Rolling occurs between the sliding foot 21 and the track 12 via ball bearings 211 penetrating the sliding foot 21. The T-shaped track 12 and sliding foot 21 prevent the movable seat 2 from tipping over, ensuring smooth operation of the movable seat 2 at the edge of the feeding trough 1. Simultaneously, the ball bearings 211 penetrating the sliding foot 21 reduce friction between the sliding foot 21 and the track 12, ensuring normal movement of the movable seat 2.

[0020] The output end of the motor 61 in the power component 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 62. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 62 is slidably fitted with a switching sleeve 63. The two ends of the switching sleeve 63 are a gear 64 and a pulley 65 rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 62, respectively. The switching sleeve 63 and the rotating shaft 62 are in keyway fit, and the switching sleeve 63 and the gear 64 and the pulley 65 are also in keyway fit. The gear 64 and the pulley 65 are both energized by the electromagnetic ring 641 provided on the side to generate magnetism and magnetically attract the switching sleeve 63. The switching sleeve 63 slides left and right on the spline of the rotating shaft 62 via an internal keyway. One side of the gear 64 and pulley 65 are fixed to the rotating shaft 62 by bearings, and the other side of both are provided with keyways that match the spline on the outer wall of the switching sleeve 63. When the solenoid ring 641 on the left gear 64 is energized and becomes magnetic, the magnetic switching sleeve 63 moves to the left, inserting the left end of the suction ring 631 into the solenoid ring 641, and at the same time inserting the left end into the gear 64 to drive the gear 64 to rotate. Conversely, when the solenoid ring 641 on the right pulley 65 is energized and becomes magnetic, the magnetic switching sleeve 63 moves to the right, inserting the right end of the suction ring 631 into the solenoid ring 641, and at the same time inserting the right end into the pulley 65 to drive the pulley 65 to rotate.

[0021] Motor 61 connects to gear 64 via switching sleeve 63, driving gear 64 to mesh with rack 13 on the lower surface of feed trough 1, thus moving the position of movable seat 2. Magnetic attraction moves switching sleeve 63 directly from one side of pulley 65 to the other and inserts it into gear 64. Motor 61 is started, and motor 61 drives switching sleeve 63 and gear 64 to rotate via shaft 62. Gear 64 rotates below rack 13, causing movable seat 2 to move along slide rail 12.

[0022] The motor 61 is connected to the pulley 65 via the switching sleeve 63. The pulley 65 drives the transmission gear 67 in the crushing box 4 to rotate via the belt 66. The transmission gear 67 meshes with the two rotating crushing rollers 41 in the crushing box 4 to crush the food. The switching sleeve 63 is moved from one side of the gear 64 to the side of the pulley 65 and inserted into the pulley 65. The motor 61 is started. The motor 61 drives the switching sleeve 63 and the pulley 65 to rotate via the shaft 62. The pulley 65 drives the transmission gear 67 to rotate via the belt 66. The rotation of the transmission gear 67 drives the two crushing rollers 41 on both sides to rotate relative to each other through the intermediate transmission gear 64, thereby cutting the grass.

[0023] The hopper 5 is provided with a round bucket-shaped hopper body 51. A plug body 52 is provided at the discharge port of the hopper body 51. A limiting groove 56 is opened on the side wall of the hopper body 51. A telescopic rod 53 is slidably arranged inside the limiting groove 56. Arc-shaped baffles 54 that block the limiting groove 56 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the telescopic rod 53. The two ends of the telescopic rod (53) are respectively connected to the upper surface of the plug body 52 and the trapezoidal head 55. The trapezoidal head 55 is slidably engaged with the trapezoidal part 14 on each single groove 11 to drive the plug body 52 to move upward and open the discharge port of the hopper body 51. Both the trapezoidal head 55 and the trapezoidal component 14 are set as right-angled trapezoids, and they are set in opposite directions. Initially, the two are in contact with each other as two inclined surfaces, which provides sufficient tolerance for possible height differences between them. As the trapezoidal head 55 moves forward, it slowly rises along the inclined surface. Finally, the two are in contact with each other at their bottom surfaces. When the trapezoidal head 55 reaches its highest point, the plug 52 disengages from the opening of the hopper 5, and the hopper 5 discharges material. The telescopic rod 53 is equipped with baffles 54 on both the inner and outer sides of the limiting groove 56. On the one hand, baffles 54 are set to prevent the limiting groove 56 from being exposed during the movement of the telescopic rod 53, thus preventing the feed inside from entering the limiting groove 56 and being exposed. On the other hand, baffles 54 are set to limit the telescopic rod 53, preventing the trapezoidal head 55 and the plug 52 at the left and right ends of the telescopic rod 53 from being pried due to the difference in weight, thus preventing the telescopic rod 53 from lifting smoothly.

[0024] During feed processing: When the pulley 65 is energized to generate magnetic force, the switching sleeve 63 is magnetically attracted to the side of the pulley 65 and inserted into the pulley 65. The motor 61 is started, and the motor 61 drives the switching sleeve 63 and the pulley 65 to rotate through the rotating shaft 62. The pulley 65 drives the transmission gear 67 to rotate through the belt 66. The rotation of the transmission gear 67 drives the two crushing rollers 41 on both sides to rotate and cut through the intermediate gear 64. The workers insert the green grass between the two crushing rollers 41 to crush it into green feed, which is then placed in the lower part of the crushing box 4 and the feeding hopper 5.

[0025] During material distribution: The operator then turns off motor 61 and energizes gear 64 to magnetically drive switching sleeve 63. Switching sleeve 63 is moved in the reverse direction, removed from pulley 65, and its other end is directly inserted into gear 64. Motor 61 is then started, driving switching sleeve 63 and gear 64 to rotate via shaft 62. Gear 64 rotates below rack 13, causing moving seat 2 to move along slide rail 12. During this movement, when trapezoidal head 55 in hopper 5 encounters trapezoidal component 14, their inclined surfaces first contact and slide. As trapezoidal head 55 continues to advance... The trapezoidal head 55 slowly rises along the trapezoidal component 14. The rise of the trapezoidal head 55 drives the plug body 52 to rise along the limiting groove 56 via the telescopic rod 53, thereby leaving the opening of the feeding hopper 5 and letting the green feed fall to the center of the corresponding single trough 11 below. As the motor 61 continues to rotate, the trapezoidal head 55 disengages from the trapezoidal component 14 and drives the plug body 52 to fall and re-block the opening of the feeding hopper 5. However, as the motor 61 drives the moving seat 2 to continue to move forward, the trapezoidal head 55 contacts each trapezoidal component 14, thereby letting the feed fall at the center of each single trough 11, completing the distribution of feed to each single trough 11.

[0026] Upon return: The side slope of the trapezoidal head 55 contacts the side slope of the trapezoidal member 14, thereby pushing the trapezoidal head 55 to move horizontally, causing the telescopic rod 53 to retract and pass around each trapezoidal member 14.

[0027] Furthermore, since the motor 61 rotates at a constant speed, the moving seat 2 passes through each single groove 11 in the same amount of time, and each trapezoidal piece 14 also takes the same amount of time. As a result, the feeding hopper 5 opens for the same amount of time in each single groove 11, so that a similar amount of green fodder is dropped for the cattle to eat.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely prisms of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
