Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an intelligent sheep feeding system for sheep farms operating entirely in indoor feeding conditions, belonging to the field of livestock machinery technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the known method of feeding sheep in sheep farms involves manually driving a feed truck to feed each sheep pen. The advantage of this method is that the equipment investment is relatively small; the disadvantages are that it requires a lot of manpower, is inefficient, and the amount of feed is uneven. It is also easy to waste feed due to the operation error of the staff, which not only affects the healthy growth of sheep but also wastes feed for the farm and makes it difficult to manage large-scale sheep farms. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent sheep feeding system.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: The intelligent sheep feeding system mainly includes a connecting plate seat, a ring chain, a support, timber, a soft rubber board, a ring chain drive wheel, a level gauge, a feed hopper, a steering wheel, a connecting plate support arm, a connecting plate ear, a swing arm, a pin, and a swing arm rotating sleeve, etc.; Its characteristic is that the connecting plate seat, ring chain, soft rubber board, connecting plate support arm, connecting plate ear, swing arm, pin, and swing arm rotating sleeve constitute a flexible feeding trough that can be bent arbitrarily; the connecting plate seat of the feeding trough in the intelligent sheep feeding system is a part made of rectangular steel plate through three bending processes, with two horizontal holes drilled in the middle vertical plate of the connecting plate seat; the ring chain has a chain link every 432mm, and the chain link... The open end of the ring is inserted into the two holes of the connecting plate seat and tightened with a nut. The connecting plate seat connects the openings of the chain link ring to increase its tensile strength. The short side of the connecting plate seat is welded to the connecting plate support arm to fix the soft rubber plate and support the feed trough. Two connecting plate ears are welded to the outside of the drilled vertical plate of the connecting plate seat. There is a hole in the center of the connecting plate ears, and the center holes of the two connecting plate ears are located on a horizontal straight line. The swing arm is a strip of steel with an upper arc shape and a lower semi-circular arc bend. The swing arm rotating sleeve is welded in the lower semi-circular arc of the swing arm and together with the swing arm, it forms the swing arm assembly. The pin passes through the holes in the center of the two connecting plate ears and the swing arm rotating sleeve to hinge the swing arm assembly to the connecting plate seat. The soft rubber sheet is made of elastic butadiene rubber, with a thickness of 3 mm and a smooth surface. The soft rubber sheet is fixed to the connecting plate support arm and the swing arm by rivets. The feed trough, which is formed by the curved connecting plate support arm and the swing arm and the soft rubber sheet and other components fixed thereon, can hold concentrate, roughage and pellet feed for sheep to eat freely. The timber is rectangular hardwood, fixed to supports with screws, and the supports are fixed to the ground in the middle aisle of the double-row sheepfold with expansion bolts. The timber is fixed on both sides of the middle aisle of the double-row sheepfold, 200mm-250mm away from the sheep fence. The length of the timber is determined according to the length of the sheepfold fence and can be freely spliced ​​according to the actual situation, but the top surface and left and right facades must be smooth and flat. The timber at both ends of the sheepfold is 50mm-250mm away from the steering wheel and the ring chain drive wheel, so that the timber will not obstruct the rotation of the steering wheel and the ring chain drive wheel. The timber fits the groove of the connecting plate seat with clearance, and the top surface of the timber is 5mm-10mm away from the connecting plate seat. The function of the timber is to support and guide, so that the sheep feed trough moves in a straight line on the timber after feeding. The steering wheel is made of cast iron with a smooth groove machined in the middle, in which the ring chain can slide. The lower end face of the steering wheel is machined into a large disc. When the feeding trough moves to the turning point, the swing arm assembly of the feeding trough contacts the large disc on the lower end face of the steering wheel. The large disc on the lower end face of the steering wheel will apply an outward pushing force to the lower end of the swing arm. Under the action of the external force, the upper part of the swing arm will rotate inward by a certain angle with the pin as the fulcrum to compensate for the excessive stretching of the soft rubber plate on the outer edge of the feeding trough caused by the turn.The ring chain drive wheel is installed at the first corner of the feed trough in front of the hopper. The ring chain drive wheel not only drives the ring chain towards the hopper but also assists in turning the feed trough. The ring chain drive wheel is made of cast iron with grooves machined in the middle according to the shape of the chain links. The chain links can be embedded in these grooves. When the motor drives the ring chain drive wheel to rotate, the ring chain embedded in the grooves can move linearly under the drive of the ring chain drive wheel. The lower end face of the ring chain drive wheel is machined into a large disc. When the feed trough moves to the turning point, the swing arm assembly of the feed trough contacts the large disc on the lower end face of the ring chain drive wheel. The large disc on the lower end face of the ring chain drive wheel applies an outward pushing force to the lower end of the swing arm. Under the action of this external force, the upper part of the swing arm will rotate inward by a certain angle around the pin shaft to compensate for the excessive stretching of the soft rubber plate on the outer edge of the feed trough caused by the turn.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are that a single feeding system can feed sheep in a double-row sheepfold at the same time, occupying little space and enabling a reasonable layout within the sheepfold, thus improving the space utilization rate; feeding is stable and continuous, saving labor and reducing breeding costs; it has wide adaptability, and can feed both concentrate and roughage as well as pelleted feed, making it suitable for raising various livestock such as sheep; it operates automatically according to the sheep's feed intake, realizing intelligent sheep farming.

The chain link is an open ring, with the open end inserted into the two holes of the connecting plate seat 1 and tightened with a nut; the connecting plate seat 1 connects the openings of the chain link to increase its tensile strength; the short side of the connecting plate seat 1 is welded to the connecting plate support arm 11 to fix the soft rubber plate 5 and support the feeding trough; two connecting plate ears 12 are welded to the outside of the drilled upright plate of the connecting plate seat 1, with holes in the center of the two connecting plate ears 12, and the center holes of the two connecting plate ears 12 are located on a horizontal straight line; the swing arm 13 is a strip of steel with an upper arc shape and a lower semi-circular arc bend, and the swing arm rotating sleeve 15 is welded in the lower semi-circular arc of the swing arm 13, together with the swing arm 13 to form the swing arm assembly; the pin 14 passes through the holes in the center of the two connecting plate ears 12 and the swing arm rotating sleeve 15 to hinge the swing arm assembly to the connecting plate seat 1. The soft rubber plate 5 is a smooth, 3 mm thick butadiene rubber plate with good elasticity. The soft rubber plate 5 is fixed to the connecting plate support arm 11 and the swing arm 13 by rivets. The trough formed by the curved connecting plate support arm 11 and the swing arm 13 and the soft rubber plate 5 fixed thereon can hold concentrate and roughage feed and pellet feed for sheep to eat freely. Timber 4 is a rectangular hardwood block, fixed to support 3 with screws. Support 3 is fixed to the ground of the central aisle 10 of the double-row sheepfold with expansion bolts. Timber 4 is fixed on both sides of the central aisle 10 of the double-row sheepfold, 200mm-250mm away from the sheep fence. The length of timber 4 is determined according to the length of the sheepfold fence and can be freely spliced ​​according to actual conditions, but the top surface and left and right sides must be smooth and flat. The distance between timber 4 at both ends of the sheepfold and steering wheel 9 and ring chain drive wheel 6 is 50mm-250mm, so that timber 4 will not obstruct the rotation of steering wheel 9 and ring chain drive wheel 6. Timber 4 is clearance-fitted with the groove of connecting plate seat 1, and the distance between the top surface of timber 4 and connecting plate seat 1 is 5mm-10mm.

An intelligent sheep feeding system, comprising a connecting plate base, a ring chain, a support, timber, a soft rubber board, a ring chain drive wheel, a level gauge, a hopper, a steering wheel, a connecting plate support arm, a connecting plate lug, a swing arm, a pin, and a swing arm rotating sleeve; characterized in that: The intelligent sheep feeding system comprises a connecting plate seat, a ring chain, a soft rubber plate, a connecting plate support arm, connecting plate ears, a swing arm, a pin, and a swing arm rotating sleeve, forming a flexible feeding trough that can be bent arbitrarily. The swing arm is a strip of steel with an upper arc shape and a lower semi-circular bend. The swing arm rotating sleeve is welded into the lower semi-circular arc of the swing arm, forming the swing arm assembly together with the swing arm. The pin passes through the holes in the two connecting plate ears and the center of the swing arm rotating sleeve, hinged to the connecting plate seat. The soft rubber plate is 3 mm thick. The system includes: a butadiene rubber sheet; a flexible rubber sheet fixed to the connecting plate support arm and the swing arm by rivets; the curved connecting plate support arm and the swing arm, together with the flexible rubber sheet fixed thereon, forming a trough; timber blocks fixed to the ground 200mm-250mm away from the fence on both sides of the central aisle of the double-row sheepfold by supports; the timber blocks and the grooves of the connecting plate seats fit together with a clearance, providing support and guidance, allowing the sheep feeding trough to move linearly on the timber blocks; a smooth groove machined in the middle of the steering wheel, allowing the ring chain to slide within the groove; and a large disc machined on the lower end face of the steering wheel. When the feeding trough moves to the turning point, the swing arm assembly of the feeding trough contacts the large disc on the lower end face of the steering wheel, which applies an outward pushing force to the lower end of the swing arm. Under external force, the upper part of the swing arm rotates inward at a certain angle around the pin to compensate for the excessive stretching of the soft rubber plate on the outer edge of the feeding trough caused by the turn. The ring chain drive wheel is installed at the first corner of the feeding trough in front of the feed bin. The ring chain drive wheel not only drives the ring chain to move towards the feed bin but also assists in turning the feeding trough. The ring chain drive wheel has grooves machined in the middle according to the shape of the chain links. The chain links can be embedded in the grooves. When the motor drives the ring chain drive wheel to rotate, the ring chain embedded in the grooves can make linear motion under the drive of the ring chain drive wheel. After the sheep eat, the pressure in the feeding troughs on both sides of the aisle decreases, the ring chain straightens, and the feeding troughs at both ends of the aisle descend. When the feed reaches a certain distance from the level gauge, the control system will start, the ring chain drive wheel drives the ring chain to move, and the feed in the feed bin falls into the feeding trough. When the feed in the feeding trough reaches a certain weight, it will descend along the feeding troughs on both sides of the aisle due to gravity. At the same time, the feeding troughs at both ends of the aisle are taut under the tension of the ring chain, and the material in the feeding troughs will approach the level gauge. When the feed in the feeding troughs approaches the level gauge to a certain distance, the level gauge transmits an electrical signal to the central control system, the ring chain drive wheel stops rotating, the feeding troughs stop, and the sheep on both sides of the aisle begin to eat.
