Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, and in particular to an intelligent animal husbandry intelligent feeding device. Background Art
[0002] Animal husbandry, as a model of harmonious coexistence between human wisdom and nature, focuses on the intensive and large-scale breeding of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry. This process cleverly transforms plant resources such as forage and feed into high-quality animal energy, which not only enriches the human food structure, but also provides a variety of animal products such as meat, eggs, dairy products, wool, cashmere, leather, silk and medicinal raw materials.
[0003] However, in the current livestock and poultry farming practices, especially in the pig feeding process, the traditional method is often to pour the mixed feed into the feeding trough. In this process, the feed is often gradually filled from one end of the feeding trough to the other end, leading to a common problem: when the front end of the feeding trough is covered with newly added feed, the pigs will naturally gather at the front end to compete for food, which will cause crowding and trampling. In this situation, smaller piglets often become a vulnerable group and face the risk of injury or even life-threatening, which seriously reduces the survival rate of piglets and is not conducive to the overall health management and sustainable development of the farm. For this reason, we propose an intelligent livestock feeding device. Summary of the invention

[0040] The barrel 3 is movably arranged on the back plate 2, and is automatically moved by the screw rod 7 and the driving motor 8 in the slide groove 6 to add feed into the feeding trough 1. The movement of the barrel 3 is not only responsible for the delivery of feed, but is also connected to the partition 4 through the transmission assembly 5 to realize the automatic closure of the feeding trough 1.
[0041] A plurality of fixed plates 11 are fixedly arranged on the feeding trough 1, a fixed shaft 12 is rotatably arranged on the fixed plate 11, the partition plate 4 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 12, and a gear 13 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the fixed shaft 12, and a rack 14 meshing with the gear 13 is arranged above the gear 13.
[0042] A slide rail 15 is fixedly provided on the feeding trough 1, a movable rod 16 is slidably provided in the slide rail 15, the rack 14 is movably mounted on the movable rod 16, a vertical plate 17 is also provided on the feeding trough 1, a connecting spring 18 is fixedly provided on the vertical plate 17, and the other end of the connecting spring 18 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 16;
[0043] The partition 4 is rotatably arranged on the feeding trough 1, and is connected to the movable rod 16 through the fixed shaft 12 and the gear 13 rack 14 transmission mechanism. When the barrel 3 moves to add feed, the partition 4 is driven by the transmission assembly 5 to rotate and close the feeding trough 1; after the feed is added, the partition 4 is reset and used as a partition 4.
[0044] The movable rod 16 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and the rack 14 is mounted on the movable rod 16 by bolts. The position of the rack 14 on the movable rod 16 can be adjusted by bolts according to the size of the pigs, and then the position of the partition 4 and the fixed plate 11 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the interval between the partitions 4.
