[0048] The technical solution of this application embodiment is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:

[0049] According to a typical embodiment of the present invention, an integrated intelligent feeder for nursery and fattening is provided. The feeder includes: a support frame 1, a storage hopper 2, a feed tray 3, a discharge control mechanism 4, a main control unit 5, and a detection mechanism 6.

[0050] Support 1, which is mounted on the working platform;

[0051] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 includes a pair of mounting mechanisms 11, each mounting mechanism 11 including: a mounting base 111, a vertical rod 112, a connecting block 113, and a locking screw 114.

[0052] Mounting base 111 is mounted on the working platform; specifically, it can be mounted on the working platform in a fixed manner, such as by welding, or it can be mounted on the working platform in a detachable manner, such as by bolt connection or snap-fit.

[0053] The upright 112 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 111. The upright 112 has several vertical adjustment holes 112a on opposite sides. The rotation direction of the upright 112 is opposite to the vertical adjustment holes 112a. The uprights 112 of a pair of mounting mechanisms 11 rotate in opposite directions to achieve disassembly and reassembly from the storage hopper 2.

[0054] The connecting block 113 includes a plug-in end 113a and a connecting end 113b. The plug-in end 113a is matched and connected to the upper and lower adjustment hole 112a, and the connecting end 113b is connected to the storage hopper 2.

[0055] Locking screw 114 is connected to the plug end 113a. In order to facilitate quick installation and disassembly, the connecting block 113 shares a locking screw 114. The locking screw 114 is set along the upright 112. The above design can also play a certain positioning role for the connecting block 113.

[0056] When the height of the storage hopper 2 needs to be adjusted, remove all locking screws 114, hold the entire storage hopper 2, and then rotate the two uprights 112 so that the two uprights 112 unfold like a fan to detach from the connecting block 113. Then raise the height of the entire storage hopper 2, and rotate the two uprights 112 backward so that the connecting block 113 is inserted into the upper and lower adjustment holes 112a of different heights. Finally, reinstall the locking screws 114 to complete the height adjustment.

[0057] The storage hopper 2 is installed on the bracket 1 in a position that can be switched up and down. The storage hopper 2 is provided with an inlet 21, a storage chamber 22 and an outlet 23 that are interconnected. The storage hopper 2 is also provided with a detection mechanism mounting chamber 24.

[0058] Generally speaking, the feed inlet 21 of the hopper 2 is also equipped with a cover plate to prevent impurities from entering and affecting the health of the pigs. At the same time, the hopper 2 is also equipped with a handle so that the hopper 2 can be gripped during installation, disassembly and adjustment, making it easier to apply force.

[0059] Feed tray 3, which is located at the lower end corresponding to the discharge port 23, is used to receive the feed discharged from the storage hopper 2;

[0060] In this embodiment, the feed tray 3 is provided with a feed distribution cone 31, the position of which corresponds to the discharge port 23, and is used to disperse the feed discharged from the storage hopper 2.

[0061] With the above design, when the feed falls into the feed pan 3 due to gravity, the feed distribution cone 31 can evenly distribute the feed around the feed pan 3, making it easier for pigs to eat. Generally speaking, there is also a partition in the feed pan 3 to prevent multiple pigs from affecting each other when eating feed at the same time. It should be emphasized that the partition should not block the flow of feed in the feed pan 3, so as to avoid inaccurate data detected by the testing agency 6.

[0062] Discharge control mechanism 4 is installed at the discharge port 23 to control the discharge of the storage hopper 2;

[0063] In this embodiment, the discharge control mechanism 4 includes: a hopper 41, a blocking disc 42, a discharge scraper 43, a rotating shaft 44, and a drive mechanism 45.

[0064] The collecting hopper 41 is connected to the discharge port 23;

[0065] The material blocking disc 42 is located directly below the material collecting hopper 41 to block the material in the vertical direction. The material blocking disc 42 and the material collecting hopper 41 are provided with a discharge temporary storage gap 421 in the vertical direction.

[0066] Discharge scraper 43, the discharge scraper 43 is disposed in the discharge temporary storage gap 421, and is used to discharge the material in the discharge temporary storage gap 421;

[0067] A rotating shaft 44 is connected to the discharge scraper 43 and is used to drive the discharge scraper 43 to rotate;

[0068] A drive mechanism 45 is installed on the storage hopper 2, and the output end of the drive mechanism 45 is connected to the rotating shaft 44 to drive the rotating shaft 44 to rotate.

[0069] The above design enables controllable material feeding, avoiding excessive or insufficient feeding, and ensures uniform feeding around the entire circumference of the material tray, preventing excessive feeding in any particular area.

[0070] Because of its bucket-shaped structure, the outlet is very prone to blockage, which can prevent proper material discharge. To further optimize the process, the discharge control mechanism 4 also includes an anti-blocking blade 46, which is connected to the rotating shaft 44 and works in conjunction with the collecting hopper 41 to prevent blockage of the discharge port 23.

[0071] Similarly, in order to facilitate the movement of feed in the entire storage hopper 2, the following design can also be adopted: the discharge control mechanism 4 also includes a stirring blade 47, which is installed on the rotating shaft 44 to stir the material in the storage hopper 2.

[0072] With the above design, the feed is discharged from the collection hopper 41. The material is blocked by the blocking disc 42 and becomes blocked. By rotating the discharge scraper 43, the feed moves horizontally from the discharge temporary storage gap 421. The material continues to fall from the edge of the blocking disc 42 and into the feed pan 3. It should be noted that the radius of the blocking disc 42 is greater than or equal to the discharge port radius of the collection hopper 41 to completely block the falling material.

[0073] The main control unit 5 is electrically connected to the discharge control mechanism 4 and is used to control the start and stop of the discharge control unit;

[0074] The main control unit 5 has a feeding height control program. Generally speaking, the feeding height can be adjusted to a certain extent to adapt to changes in each stage. The adjustment can be done by knob, button, etc.

[0075] The detection mechanism 6 is detachably installed in the detection mechanism mounting cavity 24. The detection mechanism 6 includes a detection main board and a detection sensor. The detection sensor is electrically connected to the detection main board, and the detection main board is electrically connected to the main control unit 5 to transmit the thickness information of the feed in the feed tray 3.

[0076] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism 6 further includes a mounting box 61, on which the detection motherboard and the detection sensor are both mounted. The mounting box 61 passes through the mounting cavity 24 of the detection mechanism and is locked in place by a nut.

[0077] With the above design, when the size of the pig changes and the height of the feed hopper 2 needs to be adjusted, the detection mechanism 6 can be quickly replaced to adapt to the change in the height of the detection mechanism 6 caused by the adjustment of the feed hopper 2.

[0078] Specifically, the mounting box 61 is provided with a detection motherboard mounting cavity 611 for mounting the detection motherboard and a sensor mounting cavity 612 for mounting the detection sensor, which is a distance sensor.

[0079] Generally speaking, after replacing the testing mechanism 6, it needs to be matched with the main control unit 5. The main control unit 5 has a matching command, such as setting a button to start the command, pressing or rotating multiple buttons or knobs in sequence to start the command, or pressing or rotating a single button or knob multiple times to start the command.

[0080] In this embodiment, the feeder also includes a water supply mechanism 7, which includes a water pipe 71, a water valve connected to the water pipe 71, and a water distribution plate 72. One end of the water pipe 71 is connected to a pipe network, and the other end of the water pipe 71 is connected to the water distribution plate 72. The water distribution plate 72 is located at the lower end of the feed tray 42 and is used to supply water to the feed tray 3. The main control unit 5 is electrically connected to the water valve to control the opening and closing of the water valve. Specifically, the center of the water distribution plate 72 has a water inlet, and the edge of the water distribution plate 72 has multiple water outlets.

[0081] With the above design, the water distribution plate 72 can effectively flush the feed on the feed distribution cone 31 into the edge of the feed plate 3, so that the poultry can eat the feed.

[0082] In a more optimized configuration, the water distribution plate 72 is connected to the rotating shaft 44 to enable rotating water flow, so that all the feed around the feed distribution cone 31 is flushed into the feed plate 3, avoiding residue.

[0083] In order to better flush away the feed on the feed distribution cone 31, in this embodiment, the diameter of the water distribution plate 72 is smaller than the diameter of the feed blocking plate 42.

[0084] Overall, as the piglets grow, the low-profile feed hopper 2 becomes unsuitable for the size of the fattening pigs, so the height of the feed hopper 2 needs to be adjusted. When the height of the feed hopper 2 changes, the detection sensor and detection motherboard of the detection mechanism 6 cannot match the height, so the entire detection mechanism 6 needs to be replaced. After disassembling the old detection mechanism 6, the new detection mechanism 6 and the main control unit 5 are electrically connected. Then, the new detection mechanism 6 is installed into the detection mechanism mounting cavity 24, and the matching command is started to complete the replacement.

[0085] It should be noted that the above description is only used for pigs and is only intended to illustrate that the principle and structure of this feeder can be realized. It is not intended to limit the invention. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can apply this feeder to feeding other poultry, such as sheep and cattle, and make adaptive adjustments according to the specific circumstances.

[0086] One or more technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0087] (1) The height of the feeder provided in this embodiment of the invention is adjustable, which can adapt to pigs at different production stages and avoid replacing the entire feeder, thus avoiding unnecessary economic losses;

[0088] (2) The main control unit and detection mechanism of the feeder provided in the embodiments of the present invention adopt a split modular mechanism, which makes it easy to replace the detection mechanism separately after the height is adjusted, thus avoiding large-scale disassembly and achieving simplicity and speed.

[0089] (3) The feeder provided in this embodiment of the invention achieves integrated feeding of poultry nursery and fattening through the adjustable height of the storage hopper and the separate modular design of the detection mechanism. It can avoid the stress response of pigs caused by the method of changing pens to adapt to different growth cycles of poultry, which affects the normal growth of pigs.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including both the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the invention.
