Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of poultry breeding, and in particular to a breeding device. Background Art

[0002] Poultry refers to bird animals that are artificially raised mainly for their meat, eggs and feathers, but also for other uses. They are generally Phasianidae and Anatidae, such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc. There are also birds from other families such as turkeys, pigeons, quail and various songbirds. If you want poultry to produce high egg production, you need to feed them properly.

[0003] Existing poultry farming generally uses automatic feeders to control the feeding of poultry by quantitatively feeding the feed to the feeding area. Although the breeding environment is the same, as the growth cycle increases, there are large differences between poultry breeding individuals in different breeding batches, and thus different qualities of feed are required for feeding. Traditional automatic feeding equipment has a fixed feed feeding amount and cannot accurately selectively adjust the feeding amount according to the poultry growth cycle, resulting in feed waste or the need for multiple batches of feeding, affecting the efficiency and quality of poultry farming.

[0004] A breeding device is proposed for this purpose. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that feed needs to be fed manually, and the present invention provides a feeding device.

[0008] The driving assembly includes a pedal, a connecting rod and a connecting mechanism. The pedal is located on the side of the feeder away from the discharge chute and is composed of a thin plate and two rods. The thin plate and the rods are combined to form a "U" shape. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the feeder wall and both ends extend to the outside of the feeder and are fixedly connected to the corresponding rods. The connecting mechanism drives the discharge wheel to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional size of the unloading wheel is the same as that of the unloading trough, the unloading wheel is disc-shaped and includes an upper half and a lower half, the lower half is semicircular, the upper half is the same semicircular shape as the lower half and has a plurality of grooves evenly distributed on the outer edge.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod, a rack A, an elastic member, a gear A, a rotating rod, a sprocket and a chain. The top of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pedal, and the bottom is hinged to one end of the rack A. The rack A is horizontally slidably connected to the slide groove at the bottom of the feeder and one end is meshed with the rack A along the feed chute. The rack A meshes with the gear A. There are two sprockets and they include an upper sprocket and a lower sprocket. The upper sprocket and the lower sprocket are respectively located outside the feed chute and are coaxially fixed with the corresponding feed wheel and gear A. The upper sprocket and the lower sprocket are connected by a chain, and an elastic member is arranged on the rack A.

[0011] Furthermore, a loading plate is provided in the feeder, and the loading plate divides the interior of the feeder into a feeding area and a waste collection area. The loading plate is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge port connects the feeding area and the waste collection area. The feeder also includes an opening and closing mechanism, and the opening and closing mechanism is used to open and close the discharge port.

[0012] Furthermore, the opening and closing mechanism, the material placing plate is in an upward concave arc shape and is divided into a plate body A and a plate body B by the discharge port, the discharge port is located at the lowest point of the material placing plate, the opening and closing mechanism includes a closing plate, a driving gear B and a driven gear B, the plate bodies A and B are respectively provided with an insertion groove and a movable groove, a closing plate for closing the discharge port is slidably arranged in the movable groove, a rack B is arranged at the bottom of the closing plate, the driving gear B is coaxially fixed with the rotating rod, the bottom of the driven gear B is meshed with the driving gear B, and the top passes through the opening at the bottom of the plate body B and is meshed with the rack B.

[0013] Furthermore, a residue collection area is provided in the feeder away from the pedal, a material guide plate is provided between the residue collection area and the discharge port, and a slot cover for opening and closing the side opening of the feeder is provided on one side of the feeder surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the feeder is open and a cover is hingedly provided at the top opening of the feeder, the cover is hinged to the top end of the top rod, the bottom end of the top rod is hinged to the pedal and the hinged position is a position away from the thin plate with the rotating rod as the center.

[0015] Furthermore, the sides of the feed trough and the feeder are respectively provided with an outer cover A and an outer cover B.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. According to the weight of different poultry, the pedal will rotate to different degrees with the rotating rod as the center, and drive the discharge wheel to rotate through the connecting mechanism. Since the size of the discharge wheel is just enough to block the discharge trough, the material falling from the storage box will fall into the groove on the upper half of the discharge wheel. When the discharge wheel is affected by the connecting mechanism, it will rotate, so the feed stored in the groove in the upper half can be rotated out and fall onto the surface of the partition, and guided into the feeder with the help of the inclined partition. When the discharge wheel is reset, the lower half of the discharge wheel is semicircular, so the feed above the discharge wheel will not be brought out from the other side. The number of grooves on the upper half of the discharge wheel is different with the degree of rotation. Therefore, the corresponding amount of feed can be discharged according to the growth cycle of poultry, thereby realizing reasonable poultry breeding.

[0018] 2. The residue on the surface of the feeding plate and the debris carried by geese and other poultry will fall into the waste collection area under the feeding plate and be processed. Therefore, the processing of food residues and debris is achieved through the mechanical structure, so that poultry can eat better quality feed during the breeding process.

[0019] 3. In order to prevent debris from entering the feeder, an opening is provided on the feeder and opened by stepping on a pedal, thereby preventing debris from entering the feeder and affecting the quality of poultry feed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

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, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1-8As shown, a feeding device includes a storage box 1, a feed trough 2 located below the storage box 1 and connected to the storage box 1, and a feeder 3 located on one side of the feed trough 2. A partition plate 4 is rotatably connected near the upper position in the feed trough 2. The partition plate 4 divides the feed trough 2 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The upper chamber is connected to the inner cavity of the feeder 3. The feed trough 2 also includes a driving component 6; the driving component 6 includes a pedal 61, a connecting rod 62 and a connecting mechanism. The pedal 61 is located in the feeder 3 and away from the feed trough. One side of the trough 2 is composed of a thin plate and two rods, and the thin plate and the rods are combined to form a "U" shape. The rotating rod 66 is rotatably connected to the wall of the feeder 3 and the two ends extend to the outside of the feeder 3 and are fixedly connected to the corresponding rods. The connecting mechanism drives the unloading wheel 5 to rotate. The cross-sectional size of the unloading wheel is the same as the cross-sectional size of the unloading trough 2. The unloading wheel is disc-shaped and includes an upper half and a lower half. The lower half is semicircular, and the upper half is the same semicircular as the lower half and a number of grooves are evenly distributed on the outer edge.

[0034] In this embodiment, the pedal 61 and the rotating rod 66 are in a fixed state, and the pedal 61 is rotatably connected to the wall of the feeder 3, so the pedal 61 will rotate in a lever-like manner with the rotating rod 66 as a fulcrum. When the poultry steps on the surface of the pedal 61, the pedal 61 will rotate to different degrees with the rotating rod 66 as the center according to the weight of the poultry, and drive the unloading wheel 5 to rotate through the connecting mechanism. Since the size of the unloading wheel 5 is just enough to block the unloading chute 2, the material falling from the storage box 1 will fall on the unloading wheel 5. In the groove of the upper half, the feeding wheel 5 will rotate under the action of the connecting mechanism, so that the feed stored in the groove of the upper half can be rotated out and fall onto the surface of the partition 4, and guided into the feeder 3 by the inclined partition 4. When the feeding wheel 5 is reset, the lower half of the feeding wheel 5 is semicircular, so the feed above the feeding wheel 5 will not be brought out from the other side. The number of grooves of the upper half of the feeding wheel 5 flipped over is different depending on the degree of rotation. Therefore, the corresponding amount of feeding can be carried out according to the body size of the poultry, thereby realizing reasonable poultry breeding.

[0035] Specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod 62, a rack A63, an elastic member 64, a gear A65, a rotating rod 66, a sprocket 67 and a chain 68. The top of the connecting rod 62 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pedal 61, and the bottom is hinged to one end of the rack A63. The rack A63 is horizontally slidably connected to the slide groove at the bottom of the feeder 3 and one end is meshed with the rack A63 along to the discharge chute 2. The rack A63 is meshed with the gear A65. There are two sprockets 67 and they include an upper sprocket and a lower sprocket. The upper sprocket and the lower sprocket are respectively located outside the discharge chute 2 and are coaxially fixed with the corresponding discharge wheel 5 and the gear A65. The upper sprocket and the lower sprocket are connected by a chain 68, and an elastic member 64 is arranged on the rack A63.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the pedal 61 is pressed down, the connecting rod 62 at the bottom will move. At this time, the connecting rod 62 will push the rack A63 hinged at one end to slide in the slide groove in the feeder 3. Since the rack A63 is partially provided with teeth, the gear A65 will rotate, and the gear A65 and the unloading wheel 5 are movably connected through the sprocket 67 and the chain 68, so that the unloading wheel 5 can rotate. The elastic member 64 mainly plays the role of resetting the rack A63. Since the unloading wheel 5 is in the sealed feeder 3 state and the chain 68 cannot be set, a rod is coaxially fixed on the unloading wheel 5 and the gear A65. The sprocket 67 and the rod are fixed so that the sprocket 67 and the chain 68 can be set outside the feeder 3. Therefore, the entire unloading process only requires the poultry to use its own gravity to achieve unloading, which reduces the cost compared with the electric control unloading method.

[0037] Specifically, a loading plate 7 is provided in the feeder 3, and the loading plate 7 divides the inside of the feeder 3 into a feeding area and a waste collection area. The loading plate 7 is provided with a discharge port 73, and the discharge port 73 connects the feeding area and the waste collection area. The feeder 3 also includes an opening and closing mechanism, which is used to open and close the discharge port 73. The loading plate 7 is in an upward concave arc shape and is divided into a plate body A71 and a plate body B72 by the discharge port 73. The discharge port 73 is located at the lowest point of the loading plate 7. The closing mechanism includes a closing plate 76, a driving gear B77 and a driven gear B78. An insertion groove 74 and a movable groove 75 are respectively provided in the plate body A71 and the plate body B72. A closing plate 76 for closing the discharge port 73 is slidably provided in the movable groove 75. A rack B79 is provided at the bottom of the closing plate 76. The driving gear B77 is coaxially fixed with the rotating rod 66. The bottom of the driven gear B78 is meshed with the driving gear B77, and the top passes through the opening at the bottom of the plate body B72 and is meshed with the rack B79.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the pedal 61 is stepped on, the rotating rod 66 fixed to the mixing pedal 61 will rotate. Since the driving gear B77 is fixed on the rotating rod 66, the driving gear B77 will rotate to drive the meshing driven gear B78 to rotate, and the driven gear B78 and the closing plate 76 are also in a meshing state, so the driven gear B78 will move the closing plate 76 to continuously move to close the discharge port 73 so that the geese and other poultry can eat the feed falling from the feed chute 2 at this time. When the goose finishes eating and leaves the pedal 61, the closing plate 76 will be reset by the elastic member 64 to open the discharge port 73. The residues on the surface of the feeding plate 7 and the debris carried by the geese and other poultry will fall into the waste residue collection area below the feeding plate 7 for processing. Therefore, the processing of food residues and debris is achieved through the mechanical structure, so that the poultry can eat better quality feed during the breeding process.

[0039] Specifically, a residue collection area 9 is provided on the side of the feeder 3 away from the pedal 61, a guide plate 8 is provided between the residue collection area 9 and the discharge port 73, and a slot cover 13 for opening and closing the side opening of the feeder 3 is provided on one side of the surface of the feeder 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the residue located in the residue collection area 9 in the feeder 3 can be processed by opening the slot cover 13 .

[0041] Specifically, the top of the feeder 3 is open and a cover plate 14 is hingedly provided at the top opening of the feeder 3. The cover plate 14 is hinged to the top end of the top rod 10. The bottom end of the top rod 10 is hinged to the pedal 61 and the hinged part is a position away from the thin plate with the rotating rod 66 as the center.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to prevent foreign objects from entering the feeder 3, an opening is provided on the feeder 3 and opened by stepping on the pedal 61, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering the feeder 3 and affecting the quality of poultry feed.

[0043] Specifically, the sides of the feed chute 2 and the feeder 3 are respectively provided with an outer cover A11 and an outer cover B12.

[0044] In this embodiment, in order to make the chain 68 and the pedal 61 located outside the feed chute 2 and the feeder 3 more beautiful, they are hidden by providing an outer cover A11 and an outer cover B12.

[0045] The above description enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
