[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an intelligent laying hen breeding equipment comprises:

[0034] A feed storage device 1, which includes a feed tray 11 that is movably arranged;

[0035] The regulating mechanism 2 comprises a floating plate 21 connected to a fixed point for circumferential rotation at one side, a swing rod 22 connected to a fixed point for circumferential rotation at one end, and an elastic push rod 23, wherein the elastic push rod 23 is used to keep the swing rod 22 in an initial position so that the other side of the floating plate 21 is lifted and tilted;

[0036] The trigger mechanism 3 is also included. The trigger mechanism 3 is used to swing to the end position when the swing rod 22 is pressed down by the floating plate 21 with negative pressure, so as to make the unloading tray 11 rotate to unload materials.

[0037] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the feed storage 1 and the regulating mechanism 2 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the horizontal plane, and a feed trough is provided between them. The feed discharge tray 11 is used to place the feed in the feed storage 1 into the feed trough.

[0038] Furthermore, the feed tray 11 in the above embodiment can be connected and arranged for circumferential rotation, and the feed tray 11 can be rotated around the bearing by pulling, and opened to allow the feed storage 1 to leak into the feed trough; or it can be arranged for circumferential rotation, and is composed of a circular plate and a cross plate member arranged on the side of the circular plate, and a feed trough is formed between the cross plates, which is driven to rotate, so that the four feed troughs are rotated downward one by one so that their notches are vertically downward, thereby leaking into the feed trough.

[0039] Furthermore, the trigger mechanism 3 in the above embodiment can be a connecting rod assembly. When the rocker arm 22 swings away from the initial position and reaches the end position, the connecting rod assembly is pulled by the rocker arm 22 to make the discharge tray 11 swing or rotate; or, it can be a trigger switch. When the rocker arm 22 swings away from the initial position and reaches the end position, the friction causes the trigger switch to close, and the discharge tray 11 swings or rotates to discharge the material; or it can be any transmission method known to those skilled in the art.

[0040] In the above embodiment, when the floating plate 21 is stepped on by the chicken and pressed down to a horizontal state, the swing rod 22 swings away from the initial position and reaches the end position, and the trigger mechanism 3 is triggered to drive the feeding tray 11 to rotate a predetermined angle, so as to discharge the feed. Only when all the chickens leave the floating plate 21, the floating plate 21 and the feeding tray 11 are reset. When the floating plate 21 is stepped on by the chicken and pressed down to a horizontal state next time, the feeding tray 11 is driven to rotate a predetermined angle and discharge the feed again. Compared with the traditional timed feeding, this method is more in line with the physiological needs of the animal itself, so that it can eat according to its own needs and avoid the accumulation and deterioration of feed in the trough.

[0041] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the feed storage device 1 includes a cabin 12 and a grain storage compartment 13 arranged on the top of the cabin 12, a feed discharge chute 121 is arranged on one side of the cabin 12, and a feed discharge tray 11 is installed in the cabin 12 to keep the grain storage compartment 13 and the feed discharge chute 121 connected.

[0042] Specifically, the grain storage compartment 13 in the above embodiment is equipped with a hatch cover 131, and the whole is made of transparent materials, such as glass or plastic, so as to facilitate the staff to inspect and add materials to the grain storage compartment 13.

[0043] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, there are two grain storage compartments 13, and two feeding systems are respectively provided to meet the feeding needs of the chickens. It should be noted that the feeding tray 11 is built with a partition, and the partition divides the interior into equal-sized feeding chambers 111, and the two feeding chambers 111 distributed on any axis are connected to the grain storage compartment 13 and the feeding chute 121. Figure 5It can be seen that the top and bottom of the feed chamber 111 in the embodiment are connected. When it is driven to rotate, there is only one feed chamber 111 corresponding to the feed chute 121, and the chicken feed in the feed chamber 111 will fall into the feed trough along the feed chute 121. The amount of feed that the feed chamber 111 can accommodate is a fixed amount, and its specific volume is not overly explained, mainly depending on the size of the equipment.

[0044] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, the regulating mechanism 2 includes a frame 24 and a rotating plate 25, one end of the rotating plate 25 is circumferentially mounted on the frame 24, a track guide sealing tube 251 is mounted on one side of the rotating plate 25, and a guide roller 221 is circumferentially mounted on the end of the swing rod 22, and the guide roller 221 is rollingly connected to the track guide sealing tube 251.

[0045] When the swing rod 22 swings from the initial position to the final position, the rotating plate 25 rotates to move away from the frame 24 .

[0046] Furthermore, vertical rods 241 are symmetrically mounted on the frame 24, and the rotating plate 25 and the swing rod 22 are both located between the two vertical rods 241;

[0047] The vertical rod 241 is rotatably mounted with an elastic push rod 23 , and the buffer end of the elastic push rod 23 is rotatably mounted on the track guide sealing tube 251 , and is used to make the rotating plate 25 sit on the frame 24 .

[0048] Specifically, the frame 24 in the embodiment is symmetrically mounted with a frame 242. One end of the floating plate 21 in the embodiment is mounted on the side of the frame 242 away from the vertical rod 241 through a bearing, and the other end is welded with a negative pressure rod 211. The side wall of the swing rod 22 is provided with a platform 222, and the negative pressure rod 211 and the platform 222 are in rolling connection. When the floating plate 21 is stepped on by the chicken and pressed down to a horizontal state next time, the swing rod 22 swings toward the side away from the feed storage 1 (the swing rod 22 is mounted on the frame 24 through a bearing), and the guide roller 221 guides the sealing tube 251 to move from top to bottom along the track (in a rolling manner). Figure 2 At this time, the rotating plate 25 swings from the horizontal state toward the side away from the feed storage 1.

[0049] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, the trigger mechanism 3 includes a push rod 31 axially movable on the nacelle 12 and a connecting rod 32 that movably connects the push rod 31 to the rotating plate 25.

[0050] The rotating plate 25 rotates to pull the push rod 31 to move toward the outside of the cabin 12 to drive the unloading tray 11 to rotate a predetermined angle.

[0051] Furthermore, a push rod 31 is movably connected to a universal ball rod 33 at one end inside the cabin 12. A transmission gear set is rotatably arranged inside the cabin 12. The transmission gear set includes a track gear plate 6. A protrusion 61 is arranged on one side of the track gear plate 6. One end of the universal ball rod 33 is circumferentially rotatably arranged on the protrusion 61.

[0052] Furthermore, the transmission gear set includes a transmission tooth 62 rotatably installed in the cabin 12 , the transmission tooth 62 is located inside the track gear plate 6 , and the shaft of the transmission tooth 62 is fixedly connected to the unloading tray 11 .

[0053] Furthermore, a notch is provided on one side of the inner wall of the track toothed disc 6, and a resistance rod 63 is rotatably arranged in the notch. The resistance rod 63 is pushed by the elastic member 7 arranged in the notch, and its end extends to the inner side of the track toothed disc 6 and is in one-way meshing cooperation with the transmission tooth 62.

[0054] Secondly, the elastic member 7 is specifically a metal plate with a V-shaped structure.

[0055] Specifically, when the floating plate 21 is stepped on by the chicken and pressed down to a horizontal state, the swing rod 22 swings toward the side away from the feed storage 1 (the swing rod 22 is installed on the frame 24 through a bearing), and the guide roller 221 guides the sealing tube 251 to move from top to bottom along the track (with a rotation direction of 1 / 200 degrees). Figure 2 At this time, the rotating plate 25 swings from the horizontal state toward the side away from the feed storage 1.

[0056] When the rotating plate 25 swings from the horizontal state toward the side away from the feed storage 1, it will pull the connecting rod 32. Under the pulling of the connecting rod 32, the push rod 31 moves outward, thereby pulling the universal ball rod 33 so that the protrusion 61 moves with it, that is, driving the track gear 6 to rotate.

[0057] When the resistance rod 63 exists, the track gear disc 6 rotates, and the resistance rod 63 pushes the transmission tooth 62 to rotate the feed tray 11. Since the top and bottom of the feed chamber 111 in the embodiment are connected, when it is driven to rotate, there is only one feed chamber 111 corresponding to the feed chute 121, and the chicken feed in the feed chamber 111 will fall into the feed trough along the feed chute 121.

[0058] When the chickens completely leave the floating plate 21, the floating plate 21 is reset, and under the action of the elastic push rod 23, all components are reset. At this time, the resistance rod 63 loses the resistance force, and thus the transmission tooth 62 is disengaged (similar to the principle of ratchet pawl).

[0059] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
