[0022] Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a livestock feeding device, comprising a feeder 1 and a feeding trough 2, a storage cavity 3 is provided on the side of the feeding trough 2, the feeder 1, the storage cavity 3 and the feeding trough 2 are connected in sequence, a belt conveyor 4 is provided at the bottom of the storage cavity 3, the belt conveyor 4 is connected to a first roller 5 through a one-way transmission mechanism, the first roller 5 is connected to the second roller 7 through a transmission belt 6, the bottom of the feeding trough 2 is arc-shaped, an arc-shaped bar 8 is provided at the bottom of the feeding trough 2, the transmission belt 6 located in the feeding trough 2 passes through the gap between the arc-shaped bar 8 and the bottom of the feeding trough 2, and the transmission belt 6 is provided with a plurality of friction plates 9.

[0023] When feeding, the feeder 1 is used to transport feed into the storage chamber 3, and the storage chamber 3 can store a certain amount of feed. Feed is transported into the storage chamber 3 according to the amount of feed required by the livestock. Most of the feed falls into the feeding trough 2 after passing through the storage chamber 3, and some of the feed remains in the storage chamber 3. When the livestock are eating, the highly motivated animals frequently touch the transmission belt 6 at the bottom of the feeding trough 2, causing the transmission belt 6 to reciprocate. The friction plate 9 on the reciprocating belt increases the friction force, and can better drive the first roller 5 to rotate when the livestock touches the bottom transmission belt 6. Since the first roller 5 is connected to the belt conveyor 4 through a one-way transmission mechanism, the first roller 5 does not drive the belt conveyor 4 to rotate when it rotates forward, and only drives the belt conveyor 4 to rotate when it rotates reversely, and the feed in the storage chamber 3 is transported to the feeding trough 2 through the belt conveyor 4. Livestock with high eating enthusiasm touch the transmission belt 6 more frequently and with greater force. Therefore, the present invention can adjust the amount of feed according to the enthusiasm for eating, and increase the amount of feed for livestock with high eating enthusiasm.

[0024] Specifically, the belt conveyor 4 is tilted upward toward one end of the feeding trough 2. After the livestock stops eating, the belt conveyor 4 also stops working. The upward tilt toward one end of the feeding trough 2 can prevent the feed from falling out of the storage cavity 3. The upper surface of the belt conveyor 4 is flush with the bottom of the storage cavity 3, which facilitates the feed to enter the belt conveyor 4.

[0025] Specifically, the one-way transmission mechanism includes a one-way bearing 10 and a rotating shaft 11. The one-way bearing 10 is embedded in the first roller 5. It can be understood that the first roller 5 is provided with a groove, and the one-way bearing 10 is embedded in the groove. The two ends of the rotating shaft 11 are respectively connected to the one-way bearing 10 and the roller of the belt conveyor 4. The rotating shaft 11 can rotate unidirectionally relative to the bearing. When the first roller 5 rotates forward, it does not drive the roller of the belt conveyor 4 to rotate. When it rotates reversely, it drives the roller of the belt conveyor 4 to rotate, so as to push the feed in the storage cavity 3 to be discharged into the feeding trough 2.

[0026] Specifically, the feeder 1 includes a main feed pipe 12, a secondary feed pipe 13, a first screw shaft 14, and a second screw shaft 15. The first screw shaft 14 is arranged in the main feed pipe, and the second screw shaft 15 is arranged in the secondary feed pipe 13. The first screw shaft 14 and the second screw shaft 15 rotate under the action of a driver. The driver is used to drive the first screw shaft 14 and the second screw shaft 15 to rotate. When the first screw shaft 14 rotates, the feed is pushed to move along the main feed pipe 12, and when the second screw shaft 15 rotates, the feed is pushed to move along the secondary feed pipe 13. The main feed pipes 12 of multiple feeders 1 can be connected in series, and the first screw shafts 14 of multiple feeders 1 can also be connected in series, and they are driven by the same motor 16.

[0027] Specifically, the driver of the first screw shaft 14 is a motor 16, which is used to drive the first screw shaft 14 to rotate. The driver of the second screw shaft 15 includes a ring gear 17, a rack 18, a spiral spring 19, a pulley block 20 and a pedal 21. The ring gear 17 is connected to the second screw shaft 15, the ring gear 17 is meshed with the rack 18, the spiral spring 19 is arranged below the rack 18, the rack 18 is connected to one end of the pulley block 20, and the other end of the pulley block 20 is connected to the pedal 21. When the livestock animal steps on the pedal 21, the pedal 21 moves downward under the action of gravity, the pedal 21 drives the rack 18 to move upward through the pulley block 20, and the rack 18 drives the ring gear 17 to rotate, thereby driving the second screw shaft 15 to rotate and discharge the feed. The greater the weight of the livestock animal, the greater the height of the pedal 21, the more turns the second screw shaft 15 is driven to rotate, and the more feed is delivered to the feeding trough 2. Therefore, the present invention has the technical effect of controlling the feed amount according to the gravity of the livestock, and adjusting the feed amount in combination with the feeding enthusiasm of the livestock, and can perform differentiated feeding according to the individual differences of the livestock.

[0028] Optionally, a cover plate is provided at the connection between the storage cavity 3 and the feeding trough 2, and the cover plate is made of a lightweight material and can cover the storage compartment.

[0029] Specifically, the pulley block 20 includes a pull rope 22, a fixed pulley 23 and a movable pulley 24. The movable pulley 24 is connected to the pedal 21. The fixed pulley 23 and the pull rope 22 are fixed at a preset position above the ground, and can be fixed on the feeding trough 2, or fixed on the ground through a fixed rod. The other end of the pull rope 22 is connected to the rack 18 after passing through the fixed pulley 23 and the movable pulley 24. When the livestock step on the pedal 21, the pedal 21 drives the movable pulley 24 to move downward, and the other end of the pull rope 22 is driven to move through the movable pulley 24, thereby pulling the rack 18 downward to drive the ring gear 17 and the second spiral shaft 15 to rotate. By using the pulley block 20 to drive the rack 18 to move, the backlash can be reduced, and the livestock can stand more stably on the pedal 21. After the livestock leave, the spiral spring 19 pushes the rack 18 to reset, and drives the second spiral shaft 15 to reverse, and the feed is transported back to the main feed pipe 12.

[0030] Specifically, the pedal 21 is provided with a guide rod 25, and the guide rod 25 slides along a guide tube 26, and the guide tube 26 is fixed on the ground. The guide tube 26 is fixed on the ground, and the guide rod 25 can move up and down along the guide tube 26, thereby improving the stability of the pedal 21.

[0031] Specifically, the first roller 5 or the second roller 7 is provided with a torsion spring 27, and the torsion spring 27 is connected to the side of the feeding trough. After the first roller 5 and the second roller 7 rotate, the torsion spring 27 is used to reset them, so as to ensure that the friction plate 9 of the transmission belt 6 is located in the feeding trough 2.

[0032] Specifically, the friction plate 9 is a flexible friction plate 9, which can prevent livestock from being rubbed.

[0033] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
