Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chick breeding, and in particular to a feeding device for chick breeding. Background Art

[0002] Chick breeding is the primary stage of adult chicken breeding. At the chick stage, the feed needs to be finer because the esophagus of chicks is relatively narrow. If the particles are too large, it may cause the chicks to choke to death.

[0003] Due to the relatively humid chicken house, or the chicks continue to peck at the feed after drinking water, it is very easy for the feed to form lumps. The lumped feed eaten by the chicks accidentally can also easily cause the chicks to choke to death. Therefore, it is necessary to re-collect the lumped feed to prevent the chicks from eating it. However, there is a lack of such lumped feed collection equipment in the prior art.

[0004] For this reason, we propose a feeding device for chick breeding to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeding device for chick breeding to solve the problems raised in the above background art. The technical solution of the present invention provides a solution significantly different from the prior art for the technical problem that the prior art solution is too single.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A feeding device for chick breeding includes a chassis. An outer wall is provided at the edge of the chassis. A feed cylinder is installed at the center of the chassis. A first pedal is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the chassis. An anti-poking hook is rotatably connected to the edge of the outer wall. A reverse pushing plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the chassis. One end of the reverse pushing plate is connected to a second pedal. A spring is connected to the bottom of the reverse pushing plate. A discharge pipe is connected to the side of the feed cylinder.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a long groove is provided on the surface of the chassis. The reverse pushing plate is slidably connected to the long groove, and the reverse pushing plate never disengages from the inside of the long groove.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the discharge pipe is integrally in an arc-shaped structure. The discharge pipe is equidistantly provided with discharge ports from the end close to the feed cylinder to the end close to the outer wall, and the distance between the discharge ports gradually increases.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the angle between the first pedal and the outer wall is between ° and °, and one end of the first pedal is in contact with the anti-poking hook.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the weight of the anti-pricking hook body is lighter than that of a chick, the mass of the end of the anti-pricking hook in contact with the first treadle is less than the mass of the end far from the first treadle, and the anti-pricking hook has a U-shaped structure.

[0012] In a further embodiment, a detachable collection box is installed at the center of the chassis, and the height of the anti-pushing plate is lower the closer it is to the center of the collection box.

[0013] In a further embodiment, a conical material dividing block is designed at the center of the feed cylinder

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] The present invention utilizes the movement of the chicks themselves and gravity to repeatedly press the second treadle, so as to prompt the anti-pushing plate to move up and down under the action of the spring to push or throw large-particle feed towards the center, so that the feed is uniformly collected at the collection box, thus facilitating unified treatment, effectively avoiding the situation that chicks are choked to death by using large-particle feed that becomes agglomerated after getting wet, and this device does not use any motors and kinetic energy devices, and completely utilizes the walking and weight of the chicks to realize the screening of large-particle feed, without consuming any kinetic energy, and the whole device is light and simple;

[0016] At the same time, in order to prevent chicks from jumping over the outer wall and entering the chassis area to trample on the feed and make the feed get wet, the present application designs a first treadle that can be pressed down. After the chicks step on it by using their own gravity, it will trigger the anti-pricking hook to drive the chicks to walk down the outer wall of the edge, further reducing the wetness of the feed, and also ensuring the dryness of the feed without any electric kinetic energy.

Thus, features defined with "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected to" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood through specific situations.

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , in the embodiment of the present invention, a feeding device for chick breeding includes a chassis 1. An outer wall 2 is provided at the edge of the chassis 1. A feed cylinder 3 is installed at the center of the chassis 1. A first pedal 5 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the chassis 1. An anti-poking hook 6 is rotatably connected to the edge of the outer wall 2. A reverse pushing plate 7 is rotatably connected to the surface of the chassis 1. One end of the reverse pushing plate 7 is connected to a second pedal 8. A spring 9 is connected to the bottom of the reverse pushing plate 7. A discharge pipe 10 is connected to the side of the feed cylinder 3. A long groove 101 is opened on the surface of the chassis 1. A sliding connection is formed between the reverse pushing plate 7 and the long groove 101. The reverse pushing plate 7 never disengages from the inside of the long groove 101. The function of the long groove 101 is to allow the reverse pushing plate 7 to sink into the chassis 1 so that its height is roughly flush with the upper surface of the chassis 1, and the reverse pushing plate 7 cannot disengage from the long groove 101, which easily causes fine feed to fall into the long groove 101 and cannot be effectively discharged.

[0026] A detachable collection box 4 is installed at the center of the chassis 1. The closer the reverse pushing plate 7 is to the center of the collection box 4, the lower its height. The collection box 4 is designed as a detachable structure, mainly for collecting damp agglomerated granular structures. The inclined state of the reverse pushing plate 7 is also beneficial to the rolling of large granular materials. The reverse pushing plate 7 has a structure similar to a "U" shape when viewed from a top-down perspective, so as to expand the contact area with the feed.

[0027] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , which is different from Example 1 in that: the whole discharge pipe 10 has an arc-shaped structure. The discharge ports are equidistantly distributed from the end close to the feed cylinder 3 to the end close to the outer wall 2, and the distance between the discharge ports gradually increases. The arc-shaped structure of the discharge pipe 10 can slow down the speed of the feed when it falls, and the closer the discharge pipe 10 is to the outer wall 2, the larger its discharge port, and the more feed leaks out.

[0028] A conical material distribution block is designed at the center of the feed cylinder 3. The conical structure at the center of the feed cylinder 3 can accurately disperse the feed into the interior of each discharge pipe 10.

[0029] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , which is different from Example 1 in that: the angle between the first pedal 5 and the outer wall 2 is between 60° and 90°. One end of the first pedal 5 is in contact with one end of the reverse poking hook 6. The first function of the first pedal 5 is an extension of the outer wall 2, and its highest position is roughly equivalent to the neck of the chick, allowing the chicken to peck normally. The second function is as an effect of the mechanism. When a chicken steps on the first pedal 5, the reverse poking hook 6 will be triggered to drive the chicken to step off the position of the first pedal 5 to prevent the feed from being trampled.

[0030] The weight of the body of the reverse poking hook 6 is lighter than that of the chick. The mass of the end of the reverse poking hook 6 in contact with the first pedal 5 is less than the mass of the end away from the first pedal 5. The reverse poking hook 6 has a U-shaped structure. In order to make the reverse poking hook 6 automatically reset, the part of the reverse poking hook 6 inside the outer wall 2 is heavier, and the part outside the outer wall 2 is lighter. In this way, when no chicken steps on the first pedal 5, it can automatically reset under its own gravity.

[0031] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0032] First, all the feed is put into the feed cylinder 3. The feed cylinder 3 then distributes the feed into the interior of each discharge pipe 10, and then flows out from each discharge port and is evenly spread on the chassis 1 for feeding the chicks. Since the room is humid or the chicks eat the feed after drinking water, the feed will get damp and agglomerate. It is very likely that the agglomerated feed cannot be swallowed by the chicks after being pecked, and it will get stuck in the esophagus, which is very likely to cause the death of the chicks. Therefore, the following structure is designed;

[0033] When the chicks eat the feed, they will stand on the second pedal 8 and press down the push plate 7 by using their own weight. At the same time, the spring 9 under the push plate 7 is pressed. When the chicks move away from the second pedal 8, the spring 9 is quickly released, causing the push plate 7 to bounce upward, further throwing the large-particle materials towards the center. Each time it is thrown, it will move a small distance towards the center. Moreover, since the push plate 7 itself is inclined, it can also make the large particles roll towards the center. The finer feed, due to its lighter mass, is difficult to roll with the large-particle materials or move after being thrown backward.

[0034] After all the large-particle materials are collected in the collection box 4 in the center, they are removed manually and the large-particle materials are taken away for further processing into small-particle materials.

[0035] The included angle between the first pedal 5 and the outer wall 2 can be used to prevent the chicks from crossing the outer wall 2 and entering the middle feed area. Once the chicks step on the first pedal 5, the gravity of the chicks themselves will press down the first pedal 5, and the first pedal 5 will then press one end of the anti-poking hook 6, prompting the anti-poking hook 6 to rotate, driving the chicks to step off the first pedal 5 and preventing the internal feed from becoming more humid after being trampled by the chickens.

[0036] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, in any aspect, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be embraced within the present invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claimed rights.

[0037] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
