Detailed Implementation

[0026] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5According to one embodiment of the present invention, a forage transfer and feeding device for cattle farms includes a frame component 1, which includes a main frame 101 and a dispersing bin 102. The dispersing bin 102 is fixedly arranged inside the main frame 101 and is used to load separated forage. A cover assembly 2 includes a rotating arm 201, with two sets of rotating arms 201 rotatably mounted on the dispersing bin 102 and arranged on one side of the top of the dispersing bin 102 for rotatably closing the dispersing bin 102. A feed wheel assembly 3 includes a driver 301, a drive wheel 302, a secondary drive wheel 303, and a driven wheel 304. The driver 301 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating arm 201, on which the drive wheel 302 is mounted. Several secondary drive wheels 303 and driven wheels 304 are rotatably mounted on one end of the rotating arm 201 and arranged inside the rotating arm 201. Both 303 and driven wheel 304 are linked to the drive wheel 302; vibrating assembly 4 is arranged at the bottom of the dispersion bin 102 to ensure uniform output of separated hay; and drive mechanism 5 is movably arranged between the main frame 101 and the rotating arm 201 to drive the movement of the rotating arm 201; and peeling assembly 6 includes a bracket 601, side wheels 602, tire 604, J-hooks 605 and drive shaft wheel 606. The bracket 601 is fixedly assembled in the dispersion bin 102 and located between the two sets of rotating arms 201. Side wheels 602 are rotatably assembled at both ends of the bracket 601. The drive shaft wheel 606 is also rotatably arranged at the bottom of the bracket 601. The side wheels 602 and the drive shaft wheel 606 are connected by a tire 604, and several J-hooks 605 are arrayed on the tire 604.

[0028] In practical application, when feeding hay using this device, the hay to be processed is first fed through the notch above the rotating arm 201 between the two sets of rotating arms 201, causing the hay to fall onto the tire 604. Then, by driving the two sets of rotating arms 201 to press towards the hay bale, the hay bale is clamped between the two sets of rotating arms 201 and the tire 604. Simultaneously, by driving the rotation of the drive shaft wheel 606, the tire 604 moves synchronously on the side wheel 602. During this process, the auxiliary wheel 303 and driven wheel 304 at the inner wall end of the rotating arm 201 begin to rotate synchronously under the drive of the driver 301. Furthermore, during rotation, the auxiliary wheel 303 and driven wheel 304 press against the hay bale... At both ends of the hay bale, the bale can roll synchronously between two sets of rotating arms 201 and a wheel 604. During this process, several J-shaped hooks 605 on the wheel 604 can peel off the layers of hay on the surface of the bale one by one. During rotation, the peeled hay is rotated to the bottom side of the wheel 604 and falls to the bottom of the distribution bin 102 under the action of gravity. While rotating and compressing the hay bale, the two sets of rotating arms 201 continuously press towards the hay bale, keeping it in a compressed rolling state. This facilitates the continuous peeling of hay from the surface of the bale by the J-shaped hooks 605. After the peeled hay falls onto the vibrating assembly 4 at the bottom of the distribution bin 102, it can be evenly spread after oblique vibration and output outside the equipment for feeding.

[0029] In one embodiment, the hay feeding device is specifically designed for processing baled hay clumps and is not suitable for other special working scenarios.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the frame component 1 further includes a discharge port 103 and a discharge channel 104. The discharge port 103 is located at one end of the dispersion bin 102 and is connected to the main frame 101. The discharge channel 104 is also provided between the main frame 101 and the dispersion bin 102. The discharge channel 104 is used to guide the dispersed forage.

[0031] In practical application, the dispersion bin 102 is provided with a discharge port 103 on one side. When the vibrating component 4 continuously vibrates the forage at an angle, the forage can be evenly spread on it while having a lateral displacement action. It can also enter the unloading channel 104 along the discharge port 103. The unloading channel 104 can be connected to the channel to evenly output the forage to the feeding trough.

[0032] In one embodiment, it is assumed that the feeding speed on the side of the discharge port 103 is always greater than the discharge speed on the side of the discharge channel 104.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cover assembly 2 further includes a sealing cover 202, which is slidably mounted on the rotating arm 201 and disposed at the end of the rotating arm 201 so that the two sets of sealing covers 202 rotate and abut against each other.

[0034] In practical application, the sealing cover 202 is slidably mounted on the rotating arm 201. When hoisting hay bales, it can be in the open state to facilitate the feeding of hay bales into the distribution bin 102. When the hay bales are peeled off, by sliding the two sets of sealing covers 202, the ends of the two sets of sealing covers 202 can be in a sliding closed state. This prevents debris from falling into the bales and also prevents the rotating hay from flying out of the rotating arm 201 and causing waste.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the auxiliary drive wheel 303 and the driven wheel 304 are connected by a belt pulley, which is used to clamp the grass clump to be separated.

[0036] In practical application, the auxiliary drive wheel 303 and the driven wheel 304 are connected by a belt pulley. The belt pulley can press the wheel onto the hay bale, ensuring that it is elastically pressed against the hay bale while maintaining contact with it. Thus, when the drive wheel 302 is driven to rotate by the drive driver 301, the auxiliary drive wheel 303 and the driven wheel 304, which are linked to the drive wheel 302, can drive the hay bale to rotate continuously.

[0037] In one embodiment, the material wheel assemblies 3 on the two sets of rotating arms 201 rotate in opposite directions so that the hay bales rotate in the same direction. This will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vibrating material assembly 4 includes a limiting seat 401, a sliding rod 402, and a throwing plate 403. The limiting seat 401 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the dispersion bin 102. The sliding rod 402 is elastically slidably assembled in the limiting seat 401, and a plurality of the sliding rods 402 are also fixedly assembled with throwing plates 403. The throwing plates 403 are movably connected to the drive shaft wheel 606.

[0039] In practical application, when the drive shaft wheel 606 rotates, the rocker arm 607 at one end rotates to the side of the throwing plate 403, which can elastically press the throwing plate 403 toward the limiting seat 401. Since the limiting seat 401 and the slide rod 402 are both inclinedly arranged in the dispersion bin 102, when the rocker arm 607 moves away from the throwing plate 403, the hay on the throwing plate 403 follows the throwing plate 403 to generate oblique elastic vibration and generate oblique throwing action, so that the hay falls evenly onto the throwing plate 403 after being scattered. With the continuous action of the throwing plate 403, the hay can move continuously along the throwing plate 403 and enter the discharge port 103, and then be discharged out of the equipment through the discharge channel 104.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism 5 includes a telescopic motor 501, a key block 502, a connecting arm 503, and a slot 504. The telescopic motor 501 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 101, and a key block 502 is provided at one end of the motor. One end of the connecting arm 503 is rotatably connected to the main frame 101, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 201. A slot 504 is also provided on the connecting arm 503, and the key block 502 is slidably mounted in the slot 504.

[0041] In practical application, the telescopic motor 501 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 101. When the telescopic motor 501 is telescopic, the key block 502 at its end slides synchronously in the slot 504. The slot 504 is arranged on the connecting arm 503. The two ends of the connecting arm 503 are respectively rotatably connected to the main frame 101 and the rotating arm 201. Therefore, the two sets of rotating arms 201 can move in a mirror image on the dispersion bin 102 under the drive of the two sets of telescopic motors 501, for the purpose of flexibly clamping hay bales.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the peeling assembly 6 further includes a rocker arm 607, a sliding plate 608, and a top support 609. The bracket 601 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 603, and the top support 609 is slidably assembled in the sliding grooves 603. The plurality of the top support 609 is fixedly assembled on the sliding plate 608. The sliding plate 608 is elastically slidably assembled on one side of the bracket 601, and the rocker arm 607 is also fixedly assembled at one end of the drive shaft wheel 606. The rocker arm 607 is movably abutting against the sliding plate 608.

[0043] In practical application, when the drive shaft wheel 606 rotates continuously in one direction under the driving action, while the drive belt 604 rotates, the drive shaft wheel 606 can also be pressed towards the slide plate 608 by the rocker arm 607 at one end, so that the slide plate 608 drives the top support 609 on it to slide back and forth in the slide groove 603. When the top support 609 slides out along the slide groove 603, it can squeeze the belt 604 to support the hay bales on it, so that the peeling height of the J-shaped hook 605 moves up and down repeatedly, preventing the hay bales from getting stuck between the two sets of rotating arms 201. On the other hand, it can also prevent hay from getting stuck between the J-shaped hooks 605. By supporting the belt 604, the gap between the J-shaped hooks 605 can be increased, thereby throwing out the stuck hay.

[0044] The above embodiments of the present invention provide a forage transfer and feeding device for cattle farms. By setting a rotating arm 201 in the dispersion bin 102 to hold the forage bales, and cooperating with the feed wheel assembly 3 and the stripping assembly 6 to rotate the forage bales, the forage on the surface of the glass forage bales can be continuously fed, which not only prevents the occurrence of jamming, but also saves a lot of manpower and resources and improves the efficiency of forage bale dismantling.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
