Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock breeding technology, specifically a feeding device for beef cattle breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in my country's agricultural sector, and cattle breeding is one of the fastest-growing sub-sectors within animal husbandry. In less than 30 years, my country's beef cattle industry has transformed from a rudimentary family sideline primarily providing animal power for crop farming into a large-scale commercial beef cattle industry.

[0003] Feeding cattle is a major challenge in beef cattle farming, as manual feeding is labor-intensive. Therefore, feed trucks are typically used, but existing feed trucks are expensive. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide a feeding device for beef cattle farming that can realize automatic feed feeding, reduce labor intensity, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A feeding device for beef cattle farming includes a feeding vehicle, a feed trough located at the front end of the feeding vehicle, and a pushing mechanism located at the rear end of the feeding vehicle to push feed scattered on the road surface into the feed trough.

[0007] Both sides of the material discharge chute are provided with a discharge pipe, an auger installed in the discharge pipe, and a baffle installed at one end of the outer side of the discharge pipe. The upper end of the baffle is rotatably connected to the material discharge chute, and a check mechanism is provided between the upper end of the baffle and the material discharge chute. The outer side of the baffle is provided with a first stop bar, and it also includes a first arc-shaped protrusion located on the outside of the feeding vehicle that cooperates with the first stop bar.

[0008] The material pushing mechanism includes a lifting frame that is mounted above the feeding vehicle and can be raised and lowered, and a pushing plate that is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the lifting frame and tilted outward from front to back. The raising and lowering of the lifting frame is linked to the forward movement of the feeding vehicle through a linkage mechanism.

[0009] The linkage mechanism includes a support shaft installed on the feeding vehicle to support the lifting frame, a first support frame fixedly installed at both ends of the support shaft, the first support frame being an inverted V-shape, a support wheel at the end of the support frame being supported on the feeding vehicle, a second stop bar at one outer end of the first support frame, and a second arc-shaped protrusion located on the outer side of the feeding vehicle that cooperates with the second stop bar.

[0010] Furthermore, mounting brackets are provided on both sides of the material discharge chute, and a sleeve is provided at the upper end of the baffle, with the sleeve rotatably connected to the mounting bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the check mechanism includes a gear disposed on the outer cylindrical surface of the sleeve, and the outer side of the mounting bracket is provided with a pawl that engages with the gear.

[0012] Furthermore, the auger's shaft is supported on the inner wall of the feeding pipe by bearings, and a motor for driving the auger to rotate is provided in the middle of the feeding pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided at the lower middle position of the material chute to cover the motor.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower end of the pusher plate is provided with a rotating plate that is rotatably connected to the pusher plate, and the outer side of the rotating plate is connected to the outer side of the pusher plate by a tension spring.

[0015] Furthermore, the feeding vehicle is symmetrically provided with support plates, the support plates are provided with vertical elongated holes, the support shaft passes through the elongated holes, and rollers are provided on the support shaft at positions corresponding to the elongated holes.

[0016] Furthermore, a sleeve is provided on the support shaft, and the lower end of the sleeve is fixed by a second support frame. The second support frame is in the shape of an inverted V, and the lower end of the second support frame is rotatably connected to the lifting frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding vehicle is equipped with support platforms at both ends, and the support wheels cooperate with the support platforms.

[0018] Furthermore, the support shaft is provided with a rearward-tilting drive rod.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] 1. The present invention includes a feeding vehicle, a feeding chute located at the front end of the feeding vehicle, and a pushing mechanism located at the rear end of the feeding vehicle to push the feed scattered on the road surface into the feed trough. When feeding, the feeding vehicle moves forward, and as the feeding vehicle moves forward, the feeding chute continuously adds feed into the feed trough, realizing automatic feeding, reducing labor intensity, and the pushing mechanism pushes the feed scattered on the ground into the feed trough, ensuring that the ground is clean.

[0021] 2. This invention features a feeding pipe on both sides of the feeding trough, an auger inside the feeding pipe, and a baffle at one end of the feeding pipe. The upper end of the baffle is rotatably connected to the feeding trough, and a check mechanism is provided between the upper end of the baffle and the feeding trough. The outer side of the baffle is provided with a first stop bar, and it also includes a first arc-shaped protrusion located on the outside of the feeding vehicle that cooperates with the first stop bar. When the feeding vehicle moves forward, the auger in the feeding pipe rotates continuously, continuously outputting the feed from the feeding trough through the feeding pipe and dropping it into the feed trough. As the feeding vehicle moves forward, the first stop bar cooperates with the first arc-shaped protrusion to drive the baffle to rotate counterclockwise and open, realizing automatic opening of the baffle without the need for a separate drive to open the baffle, thus reducing costs.

[0022] 3. The feeding mechanism in this invention includes a lifting frame that is installed above the feeding vehicle and can be raised and lowered, and a feeding plate that is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the lifting frame and tilted outward from front to back. The lifting of the lifting frame is linked to the forward movement of the feeding vehicle through a linkage mechanism. When the feeding vehicle moves forward, the lifting frame descends, the feeding plate contacts the ground, and pushes the scattered feed on the ground into the feed trough, ensuring that the ground is clean and reducing feed waste.

[0023] 4. The linkage mechanism in this invention includes a support shaft mounted on the feeding vehicle to support the lifting frame, and a first support frame fixedly installed at both ends of the support shaft. The first support frame is an inverted V-shape, and a support wheel is provided at the end of the support frame. The support wheel supports the feeding vehicle. A second stop bar is provided at one outer end of the first support frame. It also includes a second arc-shaped protrusion located on the outer side of the feeding vehicle that cooperates with the second stop bar. When the feeding vehicle moves forward, the second arc-shaped protrusion contacts the second stop bar, driving the support shaft to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the first support frame rotates counterclockwise synchronously, and the support shaft descends. The pusher plate then contacts the ground, pushing the feed on the ground into the feed trough. This mechanical structure achieves linkage between the forward movement of the feeding vehicle and the descent of the pusher plate, resulting in high reliability, no need for separate drive mechanisms such as cylinders or motors, and low cost.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a feeding device for beef cattle includes a feeding vehicle 1, a feed chute 2 located at the front end of the feeding vehicle 1, and a pushing mechanism located at the rear end of the feeding vehicle 1 to push feed scattered on the road surface into the feed trough. When feeding, the feeding vehicle 1 moves forward, and as the feeding vehicle 1 moves forward, the feed chute 2 continuously adds feed into the feed trough, realizing automatic feeding, reducing labor intensity, and the pushing mechanism pushes the feed scattered on the ground into the feed trough, ensuring that the ground is clean.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the feeding trough 2 is provided with feeding pipes 3 on both sides, an auger 4 installed in the feeding pipe 3, and a baffle 5 installed at one end of the outer side of the feeding pipe 3. The upper end of the baffle 5 is rotatably connected to the feeding trough 2, and a check mechanism is provided between the upper end of the baffle 5 and the feeding trough 2. The outer side of the baffle 5 is provided with a first stop bar 6, and also includes a first arc-shaped protrusion 7 located on the outer side of the feeding vehicle 1 that cooperates with the first stop bar 6. The first arc-shaped protrusion 7 is fixed to the ground. When the feeding vehicle 1 moves forward, the auger 4 in the feeding pipe 3 rotates continuously, continuously outputting the feed in the feeding trough 2 through the feeding pipe 3 and falling into the feed trough. As the feeding vehicle 1 moves forward, the first stop bar 6 cooperates with the first arc-shaped protrusion 7 to drive the baffle 5 to rotate counterclockwise and open, realizing the automatic opening of the baffle 5 without the need for a separate drive to open the baffle 5, thus reducing costs.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a lifting frame 12 that is mounted above the feeding vehicle 1 and can be raised and lowered, and a pushing plate 13 that is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the lifting frame 12 and tilted outward from front to back. The lifting of the lifting frame 12 is linked to the forward movement of the feeding vehicle 1 through a linkage mechanism. When the feeding vehicle 1 moves forward, the lifting frame 12 descends, and the pushing plate 13 contacts the ground, pushing the scattered feed on the ground into the feed trough, ensuring the ground is clean and reducing feed waste.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the linkage mechanism includes a support shaft 16 mounted on the feeding vehicle 1 to support the lifting frame 12, and a first support frame 17 fixedly disposed at both ends of the support shaft 16. The first support frame 17 is an inverted V-shape, and a support wheel 18 is provided at the end of the support frame 17. The support wheel 18 is supported on the feeding vehicle 1. A second stop bar 19 is provided at one outer end of the first support frame 17. It also includes a second arc-shaped protrusion 20 located on the outer side of the feeding vehicle 1 and cooperating with the second stop bar 19. When the feeding vehicle 1 moves forward, the second arc-shaped protrusion 20 contacts the second stop bar 19, driving the support shaft 16 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the first support frame 17 rotates counterclockwise synchronously, and the support shaft 16 descends. At this time, the pusher plate 13 contacts the ground, pushing the feed on the ground into the feed trough. The forward movement of the feeding vehicle 1 and the descent of the pusher plate 13 are linked through a mechanical structure, which has good reliability, does not require a separate drive mechanism such as a cylinder or motor, and has low cost.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, mounting brackets 8 are provided on both sides of the material discharge chute 2, and a sleeve 9 is provided on the upper end of the baffle 5. The sleeve 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 8.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the check valve mechanism includes a gear mounted on the outer cylindrical surface of the sleeve 9. The outer side of the mounting bracket 8 is provided with a pawl 10 that engages with the gear. The pawl 10, under its own weight, will not obstruct the gear from rotating counterclockwise, but it cannot rotate clockwise. When the baffle 5 is opened by rotating counterclockwise, the pawl 10 engages with the gear, preventing it from blocking one end of the discharge pipe 3.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the shaft of the auger 4 is supported on the inner wall of the feeding pipe 3 by bearings, and a motor that drives the auger 4 to rotate is located in the middle of the feeding pipe 3. A protective cover 11 is provided at the lower middle of the feed trough 2 to cover the motor, preventing feed in the feed trough 2 from entering the motor and protecting the motor.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a rotating plate 14 is provided at the lower end of the pusher plate 13, which is rotatably connected to the pusher plate 13. The outer side of the rotating plate 14 is connected to the outer side of the pusher plate 13 by a tension spring 15. By setting the rotating plate 14, the contact between the pusher plate 13 and the ground is changed from hard contact to soft contact. When the rotating plate 14 contacts the ground, it rotates against the elastic force of the tension spring 15, preventing it from being unable to move forward due to high friction.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding vehicle 1 is symmetrically provided with support plates 21. The lower end of the support plates 21 is fixed on the feeding vehicle 1. The support plates 21 are provided with vertical elongated holes 22. The support shaft 16 passes through the elongated holes 22. The support shaft 16 is provided with rollers 23 at positions corresponding to the elongated holes 22. The outer cylindrical surface of the rollers 23 is provided with grooves that cooperate with the inner wall of the elongated holes 22. The rollers 23 play a limiting role to prevent the support shaft 16 from moving axially.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a sleeve 24 is provided on the support shaft 16. The sleeve 24 is sleeved on the support shaft 16 and rotates on the support shaft 16. The lower end of the sleeve 24 is fixed by a second support frame 25. The second support frame 25 is in an inverted V shape. The lower end of the second support frame 25 is rotatably connected to the lifting frame 12. The inverted V shape of the second support frame 25 ensures that the lifting frame can lift and lower smoothly.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding vehicle 1 is provided with support platforms 26 at both ends, and the support wheels 18 cooperate with the support platforms 26.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the support shaft 16 is provided with a rearward inclined drive rod 27. After the feed is fed, the drive rod 27 is pressed down, and the support shaft 16 rotates clockwise. At this time, the first support frame 17 rotates clockwise, and the two support wheels 18 at the lower end of the first support frame 17 are supported on the support platform 26, which lifts the support shaft 16 and the push plate 13 rises accordingly without contacting the ground.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "left", "right", "up", "down", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0045] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
