Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock feeding equipment technology, specifically an automated intelligent feeding device and method for chicken houses. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent feeding equipment for chicken coops is a modern piece of equipment used in chicken farms. It aims to automate the feeding of chickens, automatically dispensing feed according to preset times and amounts, eliminating the need for frequent manual operation and greatly saving labor and time costs. Through precise metering devices, it can accurately control the amount of feed each time based on the growth stage, number, and actual feed intake of the chickens, avoiding feed waste or underfeeding. Equipped with special discharging devices and a feeding system, it can evenly distribute feed in the troughs or designated feeding areas, ensuring that each chicken can obtain food fairly, which helps the flock grow evenly and reduces individual differences and stress reactions caused by competition for food. With the help of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, farmers can remotely monitor the operating status of the feeding equipment through mobile phones, computers, and other terminal devices, such as feed balance, feeding frequency, and equipment fault alarms.

[0004] However, the technical solution of this patent has the following problems:

[0005] This patent uses a drive mechanism and a switch mechanism to move the card block toward the feeding pipe. Feed is delivered from the bottom of the hopper to the feeding trough through the feeding pipe. Feed is added to the feeding trough one by one. However, it cannot perform real-time mixing of chicken feed and medicine to improve the uniformity of medicine in chicken feed, cannot recycle and reuse uneaten chicken feed in the feeding trough, and cannot quickly mark the cages of laying hens with health problems.

[0019] To better achieve the objectives of this invention, this invention also provides a method for an automated intelligent feeding device for chicken coops, comprising the following steps:

[0020] Step 1: Add a certain amount of chicken feed to the main feed frame. The output shaft of the first motor of the mixing component rotates, which drives the shaft of the first mixing blade on the front side inside the main feed frame to rotate. The rotation of the shaft of the first mixing blade on the front side inside the main feed frame drives the first pulley to rotate. The rotation of the first pulley causes the second pulley to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley causes the shaft of the first mixing blade on the rear side inside the main feed frame to rotate, so that the two first mixing blades rotate and mix the chicken feed in the main feed frame. The output shaft of the stepper motor of the conveying device rotates, which drives the spiral blade to rotate. The rotation of the spiral blade transports the chicken feed in the main feed frame from the first discharge port to the mixing frame. The output shaft of the third motor of the mixing device rotates, which drives the shaft of the third mixing blade in the mixing frame on the middle side of the first horizontal plate to rotate, so that the third pulley and the third mixing blade in the mixing frame on the middle side of the first horizontal plate rotate. The rotation of the third pulley drives the fourth pulley to rotate. The rotation of the fourth pulley drives the shaft of the third mixing blade in the mixing frames on the left and right sides, so that the third mixing blade in all three mixing frames rotates and mixes the chicken feed.

[0021] Step Two: To add powdered medication, the required amount is added to the mixing frame via a metering conveyor. The third mixing blade in the mixing frame mixes the medication with the chicken feed in real time. The fourth electric butterfly valve of the mixing device is then opened, allowing the mixed normal chicken feed or the feed with added medication to fall into the buffer box through the feed distribution device's conveying pipe. Once the feed in the buffer box reaches a certain level, the output shaft of the fourth motor of the moving device rotates, driving the output end of the worm gear reducer to rotate, causing the guide wheel's shaft to rotate. This rotation of the guide wheel's shaft causes the guide wheel to rotate, which in turn causes the second horizontal plate to move to the left on the layer cage. This movement of the second horizontal plate to the left on the layer cage causes the scissor lift to move to the left on the layer cage. The scissor lift to the left moves the support plate to the left, which in turn moves the main feed frame to the left. This causes the conveying device, feed recovery device, mixing device, and feed distribution device in the main feed frame to all move to the left. The buffer box then moves to the left, evenly distributing the chicken feed in the feeding trough.

[0022] Step 3: The laser thickness gauge of the feeding mechanism measures the thickness of the chicken feed in the trough. If the thickness of the chicken feed in the trough reaches the preset value, it indicates that the laying hens in that area have not eaten the feed and may have certain health problems. At this time, the laser thickness gauge transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. At the same time, the proximity sensor detects the laying hen cage and transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. The external controller receives the electrical signals from the laser thickness gauge and the proximity sensor. The external controller controls the output end of the first cylinder to extend. The output end of the first cylinder moves backward, driving the push block to move backward. The push block moves backward, driving the magnet and the plastic frame to move backward. The magnet moves to the position of the laying hen cage. Since the laying hen cage is made of iron brackets that can be attracted by magnets, the magnet will be attracted to the laying hen cage after it moves to the position of the laying hen cage. The plastic frame on the front side of the magnet improves the visibility, so that when the staff observes that the marking component composed of the magnet and the plastic frame in the irregular frame is missing, they can determine that there are laying hens with health problems in the laying hen cage.

[0023] Step 4: If the chicken feed thickness in the trough does not reach the preset level, normal shoveling begins. The irregularly shaped shovel moves to the left to scoop up any uneaten or residual chicken feed in the trough. The first and second electric butterfly valves of the feed shredder open, and the industrial vacuum cleaner starts, creating negative pressure in the auxiliary feed frame. This negative pressure in the auxiliary feed frame creates negative pressure in the fixed and connecting pipes, drawing in the scooped chicken feed and causing it to fall into the auxiliary feed frame. The output shaft of the second motor rotates, driving the second stirring blades to rotate and agitate the scooped chicken feed in the auxiliary feed frame. Simultaneously, the heating plate starts to heat the chicken feed... After the feed is dried and all the uneaten chicken feed from the previous batch has entered the secondary feed frame, the first electric butterfly valve can be closed. After the feed is broken up and dried, the industrial vacuum equipment is turned off, and the second electric butterfly valve is also turned off. The third electric butterfly valve of the crushing component is opened, allowing the broken up and dried chicken feed to fall onto the screen of the lower feed frame. The extension and retraction of the output end of the second cylinder of the screening component causes the lower feed frame to swing up and down. The swinging of the lower feed frame causes the screen to swing up and down, screening the chicken feed. The screened chicken feed falls into the main feed frame through the hose at the bottom of the lower feed frame, allowing the recycled chicken feed to enter the main feed frame for mixing and reuse.

[0024] Step 5: After feeding is completed, the scissor lift is started to lift the support plate. The support plate moves upward, which in turn moves the main feed frame upward, causing the conveying device, feed recovery device, mixing device and spreading device in the main feed frame to move upward. The moving device moves the equipment to the initial position, and the scissor lift is lowered to wait for the next feeding.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention uses the stepper motor output shaft of the feeding device to drive the spiral blades to rotate, and the rotation of the spiral blades to transport the chicken feed in the main feed frame to the first discharge port position, which is conducive to quantitative feeding of chicken feed; the first motor output shaft of the mixing component drives the shaft of the first stirring blade inside the main feed frame to rotate, the shaft of the first stirring blade inside the main feed frame to rotate, the rotation of the first belt pulley drives the second belt pulley to rotate, and the rotation of the second belt pulley drives the shaft of the first stirring blade inside the main feed frame to rotate, so that the two first stirring blades rotate and stir the chicken feed in the main feed frame, which is conducive to continuous stirring of the chicken feed in the main feed frame and avoids clogging; the quantitative conveyor adds the required medicine to the mixing frame, and the rotation of the third stirring blade in the mixing frame mixes the medicine and chicken feed, which is conducive to real-time mixing of medicine and improves the uniformity of medicine in chicken feed;

[0026] 2. The shovel mechanism of the feed recycling device shovels the uneaten feed from the feed trough. The crushing component absorbs, dries and crushes the shoveled chicken feed from the feed trough. Then, the screening component screens the dried and crushed chicken feed, which is conducive to the next step of recycling.

[0027] 3. The thickness of the chicken feed in the trough is measured by a laser thickness gauge in the detection component of the feeding mechanism. If the thickness of the chicken feed in the trough reaches the preset value, it indicates that the laying hens in that area have not eaten the feed and may have certain health problems. At this time, the laser thickness gauge transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. At the same time, the proximity sensor detects the laying hen cage and transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. The external controller receives the electrical signals from the laser thickness gauge and the proximity sensor and controls the output end of the first cylinder to extend. The output end of the first cylinder moves backward, driving the push block to move backward. The push block moves backward, driving the magnet and the plastic frame to move backward. The magnet moves to the position of the laying hen cage. Since the laying hen cage is made of welded iron support that can be attracted by magnets, the magnet will be attracted to the laying hen cage after it moves to the position of the laying hen cage. The plastic frame on the front side of the magnet improves the visibility, so that when the staff observes that the marking component composed of the magnet and the plastic frame in the irregular frame is missing, they can determine that there are laying hens with health problems in the laying hen cage. This is conducive to quickly marking the laying hen cages of laying hens with health problems. Attached Figure Description

[0049] Example 1: In some examples, please refer to Figures 1-15An automated intelligent feeding device for chicken houses includes a layer hen cage 1. Three feeding troughs 2 are fixedly installed on the front side of the layer hen cage 1. A moving device 3 that moves left and right on the upper side of the layer hen cage 1 is installed on the upper side of the layer hen cage 1. A scissor lift 4 for lifting is installed on the upper side of the moving device 3. A support plate 5 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the output end of the scissor lift 4.

[0050] The left and right movement of the moving device 3 drives the scissor lift 4 to move left and right, which in turn drives the support plate 5 to move left and right, and the left and right movement of the support plate 5 drives the main material frame 6 to move left and right. This allows the conveying device 7, feed recovery device 8, mixing device 9, and spreading device 10 within the main material frame 6 to move left and right.

[0054] The output shaft of the first motor 77 of the mixing assembly rotates, which drives the shaft of the first mixing blade 78 on the front side inside the main feed frame 6 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft of the first mixing blade 78 on the front side inside the main feed frame 6 drives the first pulley 79 to rotate. The rotation of the first pulley 79 causes the second pulley 710 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 710 drives the shaft of the first mixing blade 78 on the rear side inside the main feed frame 6 to rotate, so that the two first mixing blades 78 rotate, mixing the chicken feed in the main feed frame 6. This facilitates continuous mixing of the chicken feed in the main feed frame 6 and avoids clogging.

[0055] The feed recycling device 8 includes: a vertical support 81, a shoveling mechanism, a crushing component, and a screening component. The vertical support 81 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the main material frame 6. Multiple shoveling mechanisms are installed on the vertical support 81. The crushing component is installed on the upper left side of the main material frame 6, and the screening component is installed on the lower side of the crushing component.

[0056] The shoveling mechanism of the feed recycling device 8 shovels the uneaten feed from the feed trough 2, and the crushing component absorbs, dries and crushes the shoveled chicken feed from the feed trough 2. Then, the sieving component screens the dried and crushed chicken feed, which is conducive to the next step of recycling.

[0057] The material shoveling mechanism includes: a shaped material shoveling plate 82, a fixing pipe 83, a connecting pipe 84, and a detection component. The shaped material shoveling plate 82 is disposed inside the feeding trough 2 and closely attached to the inner side wall of the feeding trough 2. One end of the fixing pipe 83 passes through the shaped material shoveling plate 82 and is fixedly installed on the middle side of the shaped material shoveling plate 82. The connecting pipe 84 is fixedly installed on the left side of the vertical support 81, and the other end of the fixing pipe 83 is connected to the connecting pipe 84. The upper side of the connecting pipe 84 is fixedly connected to the material crushing component. The detection component includes: a laser thickness gauge 85, a first support 86, a first cylinder 87, a shaped frame 88, a marking component, and a pusher block 89. The laser thickness gauge 85 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the vertical support 81 via the support. Located on the upper side of the feeding trough 2, the first bracket 86 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the vertical bracket 81. The first bracket 86 is located on the upper side of the laser thickness gauge 85. The first cylinder 87 is fixedly installed on the front side of the first bracket 86. The irregular frame 88 is fixedly installed on the middle side of the first bracket 86. Multiple marking components are arranged inside the irregular frame 88. The push block 89 is slidably connected to the irregular frame 88. The front side of the push block 89 is fixedly installed on the output end of the first cylinder 87. The marking component includes: a magnet 810 and a plastic frame 811. The magnet 810 is arranged on the rear side wall inside the irregular frame 88. The plastic frame 811 is arranged on the front side wall inside the irregular frame 88. The plastic frame 811 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the magnet 810.

[0058] The irregularly shaped shovel plate 82 of the shovel mechanism can move on the feed trough 2 by being driven by the moving device 3. The irregularly shaped shovel plate 82 moves to the left to shovel away the uneaten or residual chicken feed in the feed trough 2, so that it no longer sticks to the feed trough 2, which is conducive to the next step of recycling.

[0059] The laser thickness gauge 85 of the feeding mechanism measures the thickness of the chicken feed on the feed trough 2. If the thickness of the chicken feed in the feed trough 2 reaches the preset value, it indicates that the laying hens in that area have not eaten the feed and may have certain health problems. At this time, the laser thickness gauge 85 transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. At the same time, the proximity sensor 11 detects the laying hen cage 1 and transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. The external controller receives the electrical signals from the laser thickness gauge 85 and the proximity sensor 11, and controls the output end of the first cylinder 87 to extend. The output end of the first cylinder 87 moves backward, driving the push block 89 to move backward. Block 89 moves backward, causing magnet 810 and plastic frame 811 to move backward as well. Magnet 810 moves to position 1. Since 1 is made of an iron frame that can be attracted by magnet 810, magnet 810 will adhere to 1 after moving to position. The plastic frame 811 in front of magnet 810 enhances its visibility, allowing staff to determine if there is a health problem in 1 if they observe that the marking component consisting of magnet 810 and plastic frame 811 is missing in irregular frame 88. This facilitates the rapid marking of 1 with 1 hens that have health problems.

[0060] If the chicken feed thickness in feed trough 2 does not reach the preset level, normal shoveling will be performed.

[0061] The material crushing assembly includes: a secondary material frame 812, an industrial vacuum cleaner 813, a first electric butterfly valve 814, a second motor 815, a second stirring blade 816, a second electric butterfly valve 817, a third electric butterfly valve 818, and a heating plate 819. The secondary material frame 812 is fixedly installed on the upper left side of the main material frame 6 by a bracket. The industrial vacuum cleaner 813 is located behind the secondary material frame 812 and is fixedly installed on the upper left side of the main material frame 6. One end of the first electric butterfly valve 814 is fixedly installed on the front side of the secondary material frame 812. The upper side of the connecting pipe 84 is fixed. The first electric butterfly valve 814 is connected to the end away from the auxiliary material frame 812. The second motor 815 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the auxiliary material frame 812. The second stirring blade 816 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor 815. One end of the second electric butterfly valve 817 is fixedly connected to the input end of the industrial vacuum cleaner 813. The other end of the second electric butterfly valve 817 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the auxiliary material frame 812 through a pipe. One end of the third electric butterfly valve 818 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the auxiliary material frame 812. The plurality of heating plates 819 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the auxiliary material frame 812.

[0062] The first electric butterfly valve 814 and the second electric butterfly valve 817 of the crushing assembly are opened, and the industrial vacuum cleaner 813 is started, creating a negative pressure in the auxiliary material frame 812. The negative pressure in the auxiliary material frame 812 creates a negative pressure in the fixed pipe 83 and the connecting pipe 84. The negative pressure in the fixed pipe 83 and the connecting pipe 84 sucks up the shoveled chicken feed, causing the shoveled chicken feed to fall into the auxiliary material frame 812. The output shaft of the second motor 815 rotates, driving the second stirring blade 816 to rotate, stirring and breaking up the shoveled chicken feed in the auxiliary material frame 812. At the same time, the heating plate 819 is started to dry the chicken feed. After all the chicken feed that was not eaten in the previous batch in the feeding trough 2 has entered the auxiliary material frame 812, the first electric butterfly valve 814 can be closed. After the breaking up and drying are completed, the industrial vacuum cleaner 813 is turned off, and the second electric butterfly valve 817 is also turned off, which is conducive to the next step of recycling.

[0063] The screening assembly includes: a second support 820, a lower material frame 821, a screen 822, an upper material frame 823, and a second cylinder 824. The second support 820 is fixedly installed on the left side of the main material frame 6. The lower material frame 821 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the second support 820 via a rotating shaft. The screen 822 is fixedly installed on the lower material frame 821. The upper material frame 823 is fixedly installed on the lower material frame 821. The lower side of the second cylinder 824 is rotatably connected to the front wall of the main material frame 6 via a rotating shaft. The output shaft of the second cylinder 824 is rotatably connected to the front side of the lower material frame 821 via a rotating shaft. The upper side of the upper material frame 823 is fixedly connected to the end of the third electric butterfly valve 818 away from the auxiliary material frame 812 via a flexible hose. The lower side of the lower material frame 821 is fixedly connected to the main material frame 6 via a flexible hose.

[0064] The third electric butterfly valve 818 of the crushing component opens, allowing the crushed and dried chicken feed to fall onto the screen 822 of the lower material frame 821. The output end of the second cylinder 824 of the screening component extends and retracts, causing the lower material frame 821 to swing up and down. The swinging of the lower material frame 821 causes the screen 822 to swing up and down, screening the chicken feed. The screened chicken feed falls into the main material frame 6 through the hose on the lower side of the lower material frame 821, allowing the recycled chicken feed to enter the main material frame 6 for mixing and secondary use.

[0065] The upper material frame 823 and screen 822 can be disassembled periodically to clean impurities from the screen 822.

[0066] Chicken feed is only recycled if it has not spoiled after being fed recently. Chicken feed that has stayed in the feed trough 2 for too long is manually cleaned. Chicken feed in the main feed box 6 is replenished after it has been fed to ensure that the shelf life of the chicken feed in the main feed box 6 or the recycled chicken feed is within the preset range.

[0067] The stirring device 9 includes: a first horizontal plate 91, a stirring frame 92, a fourth electric butterfly valve 93, a third stirring blade 94, a third motor 95, a third pulley 96, a fourth pulley 97, a third tensioning wheel 98, and a quantitative conveyor 99. The first horizontal plate 91 is fixedly installed on the front side of the main material frame 6, and the three stirring frames 92 are fixedly installed on the lower side of the first horizontal plate 91. One end of the fourth electric butterfly valve 93 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the stirring frame 92. The third stirring blade 94 is rotatably connected to the stirring frame 92 via a rotating shaft. The third motor 95 is fixedly installed on the middle side of the first horizontal plate 91 via a motor bracket. The third stirring blade 94 is located in the stirring frame 92 on the middle side of the first horizontal plate 91. The rotating shaft of the blade 94 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 95 via a coupling. The third pulley 96 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the third motor 95. A fourth pulley 97 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the rotating shaft of the third stirring blade 94 in the stirring frames 92 on both the left and right sides. The fourth pulley 97 is connected to the third pulley 96 via belt drive. The two third tensioning pulleys 98 are rotatably connected to the upper side of the first horizontal plate 91 via rotating shafts. The third tensioning pulleys 98 are close to the middle side of the belt. The three quantitative conveyors 99 are fixedly installed on the upper side of the first horizontal plate 91. The output end of each quantitative conveyor 99 is fixedly connected to one of the stirring frames 92.

[0068] Chicken feed falls from the first discharge port 72 into the mixing frame 92 of the mixing device 9. The output shaft of the third motor 95 of the mixing device 9 rotates, driving the shaft of the third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frame 92 on the middle side of the first horizontal plate 91 to rotate. This causes the third pulley 96 and the third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frame 92 on the middle side of the first horizontal plate 91 to rotate. The rotation of the third pulley 96 drives the rotation of the fourth pulley 97. The rotation of the fourth pulley 97 drives the shaft of the third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frames 92 on the left and right sides to rotate, so that the third mixing blade 94 in all three mixing frames 92 rotates, mixing the chicken feed and preventing the discharge from getting blocked.

[0069] To add powdered drugs, the required drugs are added to the mixing frame 92 by a metering conveyor 99. The third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frame 92 rotates to mix the drugs and chicken feed. This facilitates real-time mixing of drugs, improves the uniformity of drugs in chicken feed, and avoids uneven mixing of powdered drugs and chicken feed during the conveying process after pre-mixing the drugs and chicken feed.

[0070] Example 2: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-15As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeding device 10 includes: a conveying pipe 101 and a buffer box 102. The conveying pipe 101 is fixedly connected to the end of the fourth electric butterfly valve 93 away from the stirring frame 92. Each feeding trough 2 is provided with a buffer box 102. The buffer box 102 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the conveying pipe 101. The front and rear sides of the buffer box 102 are in close contact with the front and rear sides of the feeding trough 2. The lower side of the buffer box 102 is at a certain height from the lower side of the feeding trough 2. The specific height is determined according to the amount of feed for different laying hens.

[0071] Open the fourth electric butterfly valve 93 of the mixing device 9, and let the mixed normal chicken feed or chicken feed with added drugs fall into the buffer box 102 through the conveying pipe 101 of the spreading device 10. The accumulation of feed in the buffer box 102 can be determined by the feeding time. After the feed in the buffer box 102 accumulates to a certain extent, the feed is evenly spread in the feed trough 2 by moving the moving device 3. Since the conveying device 7 uses a spiral blade 74 and a stepper motor 71 to convey feed, the amount of feed can be effectively controlled so that when the equipment moves to the leftmost side of the laying hen cage 1, there is no feed in the buffer box 102.

[0072] The moving device 3 includes: a second horizontal plate 31, guide wheels 32, a fourth motor 33, and a worm gear reducer 34. The second horizontal plate 31 is disposed on the upper side of the laying hen cage 1. The multiple guide wheels 32 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the second horizontal plate 31 via rotating shafts. The fourth motor 33 is fixedly installed on the left side of the second horizontal plate 31. The worm gear reducer 34 is fixedly installed on the left side of the fourth motor 33. The input end of the worm gear reducer 34 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor 33, and the output end of the worm gear reducer 34 is fixedly connected to the rotating shafts of two of the guide wheels 32. The guide wheels 32 are disposed on the laying hen cage 1.

[0073] The output shaft of the fourth motor 33 of the moving device 3 rotates, driving the output end of the worm gear reducer 34 to rotate, causing the shaft of the guide wheel 32 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft of the guide wheel 32 drives the guide wheel 32 to rotate, and the rotation of the guide wheel 32 causes the second horizontal plate 31 to move to the left on the layer hen cage 1. The leftward movement of the second horizontal plate 31 on the layer hen cage 1 drives the scissor lift 4 to move to the left on the layer hen cage 1. The leftward movement of the scissor lift 4 drives the support plate 5 to move to the left, and the leftward movement of the support plate 5 drives the main feed frame 6 to move to the left, causing the conveying device 7, feed recycling device 8, mixing device 9 and spreading device 10 in the main feed frame 6 to all move to the left.

[0074] After feeding is completed, the scissor lift 4 starts to lift the support plate 5. The support plate 5 moves upward, which drives the main feed frame 6 to move upward. This causes the conveying device 7, feed recycling device 8, mixing device 9 and spreading device 10 in the main feed frame 6 to move upward. The moving device 3 moves the equipment to the initial position, waiting for the next feeding.

[0075] Example 3: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-15 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for an automated intelligent feeding device for chicken coops includes the following steps:

[0076] Step 1: A certain amount of chicken feed is added to the main feed frame 6. The output shaft of the first motor 77 of the mixing component rotates, driving the shaft of the first mixing blade 78 on the front side inside the main feed frame 6 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft of the first mixing blade 78 on the front side inside the main feed frame 6 drives the first pulley 79 to rotate. The rotation of the first pulley 79 causes the second pulley 710 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 710 drives the shaft of the first mixing blade 78 on the rear side inside the main feed frame 6 to rotate, causing both first mixing blades 78 to rotate and mix the chicken feed in the main feed frame 6. The output shaft of the stepper motor 71 of the conveying device 7 rotates, driving the spiral blades 74 to rotate. The rotating spiral blade 74 transports the chicken feed in the main feed frame 6 from the first discharge port 72 to the mixing frame 92. The output shaft of the third motor 95 of the mixing device 9 rotates, which drives the shaft of the third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frame 92 on the middle side of the first horizontal plate 91 to rotate. This causes the third pulley 96 and the third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frame 92 on the middle side of the first horizontal plate 91 to rotate. The rotation of the third pulley 96 drives the rotation of the fourth pulley 97. The rotation of the fourth pulley 97 drives the shaft of the third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frames 92 on the left and right sides to rotate, so that the third mixing blade 94 in all three mixing frames 92 rotates, thus mixing the chicken feed.

[0077] Step Two: To add powdered medication, the required amount is added to the mixing frame 92 via the metering conveyor 99. The third mixing blade 94 in the mixing frame 92 rotates to mix the medication with the chicken feed, achieving real-time mixing. The fourth electric butterfly valve 93 of the mixing device 9 is then opened, allowing the mixed normal chicken feed or the feed with added medication to fall into the buffer box 102 through the conveying pipe 101 of the spreading device 10. Once the feed in the buffer box 102 has accumulated to a certain level, the output shaft of the fourth motor 33 of the moving device 3 rotates, driving the worm gear reducer 34 to... The rotation of the outlet causes the shaft of the guide wheel 32 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft of the guide wheel 32 drives the guide wheel 32 to rotate. The rotation of the guide wheel 32 causes the second horizontal plate 31 to move to the left on the layer chicken cage 1. The leftward movement of the second horizontal plate 31 on the layer chicken cage 1 drives the scissor lift 4 to move to the left on the layer chicken cage 1. The leftward movement of the scissor lift 4 drives the support plate 5 to move to the left. The leftward movement of the support plate 5 drives the main feed frame 6 to move to the left. This causes the conveying device 7, feed recycling device 8, mixing device 9 and spreading device 10 in the main feed frame 6 to all move to the left. The buffer box 102 moves to the left to spread the chicken feed evenly in the feed trough 2.

[0078] Step 3: The laser thickness gauge 85 of the feeding mechanism measures the thickness of the chicken feed on the feed trough 2. If the thickness of the chicken feed in the feed trough 2 reaches the preset value, it indicates that the laying hens in that area have not eaten the feed and may have certain health problems. At this time, the laser thickness gauge 85 transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. At the same time, the proximity sensor 11 detects the laying hen cage 1 and transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. The external controller receives the electrical signals from the laser thickness gauge 85 and the proximity sensor 11, and controls the output end of the first cylinder 87 to extend and move backward. The movement causes the push block 89 to move backward, which in turn causes the magnet 810 and the plastic frame 811 to move backward. The magnet 810 moves to the position of the laying hen cage 1. Since the laying hen cage 1 is made of an iron support that can be attracted by the magnet 810, the magnet 810 will be attracted to the laying hen cage 1 after it moves to the position of the laying hen cage 1. The plastic frame 811 on the front side of the magnet 810 enhances the visibility, so that if the staff observes that the marking component composed of the magnet 810 and the plastic frame 811 in the irregular frame 88 is missing, they can determine that there is a laying hen with a health problem in the laying hen cage 1.

[0079] Step 4: If the chicken feed thickness in the feed trough 2 does not reach the preset level, normal shoveling is performed. The irregularly shaped shovel plate 82 moves to the left to shovel any uneaten or residual chicken feed in the feed trough 2. The first electric butterfly valve 814 and the second electric butterfly valve 817 of the material crushing component open, and the industrial vacuum cleaner 813 starts, creating negative pressure in the auxiliary material frame 812. This negative pressure in the auxiliary material frame 812 creates negative pressure in the fixed pipe 83 and the connecting pipe 84. The negative pressure in the fixed pipe 83 and the connecting pipe 84 sucks up the shoveled chicken feed, causing it to fall into the auxiliary material frame 812. The output shaft of the second motor 815 rotates, driving the second stirring blade 816 to rotate, stirring and breaking up the shoveled chicken feed in the auxiliary material frame 812. At the same time, the heating plate 819 starts to... After the chicken feed is dried and all the uneaten chicken feed from the previous batch in the feed trough 2 enters the secondary feed frame 812, the first electric butterfly valve 814 can be closed. After the chicken feed is broken up and dried, the industrial vacuum cleaner 813 is turned off, and the second electric butterfly valve 817 is also turned off. The third electric butterfly valve 818 of the crushing component is opened, so that the broken up and dried chicken feed falls onto the screen 822 of the lower feed frame 821. The output end of the second cylinder 824 of the screening component extends and retracts, causing the lower feed frame 821 to swing up and down. The swinging of the lower feed frame 821 causes the screen 822 to swing up and down, screening the chicken feed. The screened chicken feed falls into the main feed frame 6 through the hose on the lower side of the lower feed frame 821, so that the recovered chicken feed enters the main feed frame 6 for mixing and reuse.

[0080] Step 5: After feeding is completed, the scissor lift 4 starts to lift the support plate 5. The support plate 5 moves upward, which drives the main feed frame 6 to move upward. This causes the conveying device 7, feed recycling device 8, mixing device 9 and spreading device 10 in the main feed frame 6 to move upward. The moving device 3 moves the equipment to the initial position, and the scissor lift 4 descends, waiting for the next feeding.

[0081] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.

8. A method for an automated intelligent feeding device for chicken coops, used in the automated intelligent feeding device for chicken coops as described in claim 7, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Add a certain amount of chicken feed to the main feed frame (6). The output shaft of the first motor (77) of the mixing component rotates, driving the shaft of the first stirring blade (78) on the front side inside the main feed frame (6) to rotate. The rotation of the shaft of the first stirring blade (78) on the front side inside the main feed frame (6) drives the first pulley (79) to rotate. The rotation of the first pulley (79) causes the second pulley (710) to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley (710) drives the shaft of the first stirring blade (78) on the rear side inside the main feed frame (6) to rotate, causing the two first stirring blades (78) to rotate and mix the chicken feed in the main feed frame (6). The output shaft of the stepper motor (71) of the conveying device (7) rotates, driving the spiral blade (74) to rotate. The rotating blade (74) transports the chicken feed in the main feed frame (6) from the first discharge port (72) to the mixing frame (92). The output shaft of the third motor (95) of the mixing device (9) rotates, which drives the shaft of the third mixing blade (94) in the mixing frame (92) on the middle side of the first horizontal plate (91) to rotate, so that the third pulley (96) and the third mixing blade (94) in the mixing frame (92) on the middle side of the first horizontal plate (91) rotate. The rotation of the third pulley (96) drives the rotation of the fourth pulley (97), which in turn drives the shaft of the third mixing blade (94) in the mixing frames (92) on the left and right sides to rotate, so that the third mixing blade (94) in the three mixing frames (92) rotates, thus mixing the chicken feed. Step 2: To add and mix powdered drugs, the required drugs are added to the mixing frame (92) via a quantitative conveyor (99). The drugs and chicken feed are mixed by the rotation of the third mixing blade (94) in the mixing frame (92). The drugs are mixed in real time. The fourth electric butterfly valve (93) of the mixing device (9) is opened, and the mixed normal chicken feed or chicken feed with added drugs is dropped into the buffer box (102) through the conveying pipe (101) of the spreading device (10). After the feed in the buffer box (102) accumulates to a certain extent, the output shaft of the fourth motor (33) of the moving device (3) rotates, driving the output end of the worm gear reducer (34) to rotate, so that the guide... The rotating shaft of wheel (32) rotates, and the rotating shaft of guide wheel (32) drives guide wheel (32) to rotate. The rotation of guide wheel (32) causes the second horizontal plate (31) to move to the left on the laying hen cage (1). The second horizontal plate (31) moving to the left on the laying hen cage (1) drives the scissor lift (4) to move to the left on the laying hen cage (1). The scissor lift (4) moving to the left drives the support plate (5) to move to the left. The support plate (5) moving to the left drives the main feed frame (6) to move to the left. This causes the conveying device (7), feed recycling device (8), stirring device (9) and spreading device (10) in the main feed frame (6) to all move to the left. The buffer box (102) moves to the left to spread the chicken feed evenly in the feed trough (2). Step 3: The laser thickness gauge (85) of the detection component of the feeding mechanism measures the thickness of the chicken feed on the feed trough (2). If the thickness of the chicken feed in the feed trough (2) reaches the preset value, it indicates that the laying hens in this area have not eaten the feed and may have certain health problems. At this time, the laser thickness gauge (85) transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. At the same time, the proximity sensor (11) detects the laying hen cage (1) and transmits an electrical signal to the external controller. At this time, the external controller receives the electrical signals from the laser thickness gauge (85) and the proximity sensor (11). The external controller controls the output end of the first cylinder (87) to extend. The output end of the first cylinder (87) moves backward to drive the push block ( 89) Move backward. The push block (89) moves backward, causing the magnet (810) and plastic frame (811) to move backward. The magnet (810) moves to the position of the laying hen cage (1). Since the laying hen cage (1) is made of an iron support that can be attracted by the magnet (810), the magnet (810) will be attracted to the laying hen cage (1) after it moves to the position of the laying hen cage (1). The plastic frame (811) in front of the magnet (810) enhances the recognition. When the staff observes that the marking component composed of the magnet (810) and the plastic frame (811) in the irregular frame (88) is missing, they can determine that there is a health problem in the laying hen cage (1). Step 4: If the thickness of chicken feed in the feed trough (2) does not reach the preset value, normal shoveling is performed. The irregular shovel plate (82) moves to the left to shovel the uneaten or residual chicken feed in the feed trough (2). The first electric butterfly valve (814) and the second electric butterfly valve (817) of the crushing component are opened. The industrial vacuum cleaner (813) is started, which generates negative pressure in the auxiliary material frame (812). The negative pressure in the auxiliary material frame (812) generates negative pressure in the fixed pipe (83) and the connecting pipe (84). The negative pressure generated by the fixed pipe (83) and the connecting pipe (84) sucks up the shoveled chicken feed, causing the shoveled chicken feed to fall into the auxiliary material frame (812). The output shaft of the second motor (815) rotates, driving the second stirring blade (816) to rotate, stirring and breaking up the shoveled chicken feed in the auxiliary material frame (812). At the same time, the heating plate (819) is activated. The chicken feed is dried. After all the chicken feed that was not eaten in the previous batch in the feed trough (2) enters the auxiliary feed frame (812), the first electric butterfly valve (814) can be closed. After the chicken feed is broken up and dried, the industrial vacuum cleaner (813) is turned off and the second electric butterfly valve (817) is turned off. The third electric butterfly valve (818) of the crushing component is opened, so that the broken up and dried chicken feed falls onto the screen (822) of the lower feed frame (821). The output end of the second cylinder (824) of the screening component extends and retracts, causing the lower feed frame (821) to swing up and down. The swinging of the lower feed frame (821) causes the screen (822) to swing up and down, screening the chicken feed. The screened chicken feed falls into the main feed frame (6) through the hose on the lower side of the lower feed frame (821), so that the recycled chicken feed enters the main feed frame (6) for mixing and reuse. Step 5: After feeding is completed, the scissor lift (4) is started to lift the support plate (5). The support plate (5) moves upward, driving the main feed frame (6) to move upward, so that the conveying device (7), feed recycling device (8), mixing device (9) and spreading device (10) in the main feed frame (6) all move upward. The equipment is moved to the initial position by the moving device (3), and the scissor lift (4) descends, waiting for the next feeding.
