[0022] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Example 1 A feeding device for breeding and feeding beach sheep, such as Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the device body 1 includes a feeding area surrounded by a fence 2, the feeding area includes a beach sheep standing area 101 and a feed trough placement area 102, the beach sheep standing area 101 includes a first weighing plate 103 arranged at the bottom surface of the beach sheep standing area 101 for weighing sheep, the feed trough placement area 102 is arranged on the side of the beach sheep standing area 101, the feed trough placement area 102 includes a discharge box 3 for quantitatively discharging sheep according to the weight of the sheep obtained by the first weighing plate 103 and a feed trough 4 arranged below the discharge box 3, a discharge cavity 5 is provided below the feed trough 4, and the feed trough 4 can be flipped so that the notch faces the discharge cavity 5.

[0024] The beach sheep standing area 101 includes a sheep entrance 104, at which a one-way sheep entrance door 105 is provided on the fence 2, and a feed trough placement area 102 is provided on the side of the beach sheep standing area 101 opposite to the sheep entrance 104. The feeding area also includes a post-feeding evacuation area 8, which is provided on the other side of the beach sheep standing area 101, and a sheep outlet 801 is provided at the end of the post-feeding evacuation area 8 away from the beach sheep standing area 101, and a one-way sheep outlet door 802 is provided at the sheep outlet 801.

[0025] During the arrangement of the feeding place, multiple device bodies 1 can be arranged side by side. A channel is respectively set at each sheep entrance 104 and sheep exit 801 for multiple sheep to queue for feeding and evacuation. The arrangement position and shape of the channel can be specifically set according to the actual place.

[0026] The device is equipped with a control system, which includes a general control unit. During use, the sheep are brought into the feeding area one by one and stand on the first weighing plate 103 at the beach sheep standing area 101; the first weighing plate 103 weighs the sheep, obtains first weight data, and sends the obtained first weight data to the control unit; the control unit determines whether the sheep enters the first weighing plate 103 based on the received weight signal (for example, the pressure value / weight data detected by the first weighing plate 103 exceeds the set threshold) and then controls the quantitative discharge of the discharge box 3. The quantitative discharge process can be achieved by relying on the existing beach sheep intelligent breeding technology that accurately distributes grain according to the weight of each beach sheep, such as directly purchasing the existing quantitative discharge box; the sheep leave the first weighing plate 103 after eating, and the first weighing plate 103 sends a signal to the control unit again; the control unit controls the feed trough 4 to flip and pour out the residual feed in the feed trough 4.

[0027] In order to realize the turning over of the feed trough 4 in this embodiment, the following structure is specifically designed: The feed trough placement area 102 includes a feed trough mounting seat 6, the upper end of the feed trough mounting seat 6 is open and a feed trough mounting cavity 601 is formed inside, and both ends of the feed trough mounting cavity 601 are provided with fixing rings 602, and both ends of the feed trough 4 are respectively rotatably matched with the fixing rings 602 at both ends, and also includes a rotating motor 603 arranged on the feed trough mounting seat 6 for driving the feed trough 4 to rotate in the fixing ring 602. The feed trough 4 includes two trough side walls 401 arranged oppositely along the width direction of the feed trough 4, two trough end walls 402 arranged oppositely along the length direction of the feed trough 4, and a trough bottom wall 403, the outer surface of the trough side wall 401 is rotatably matched with the inner surface of the circular ring segment 604, and the trough bottom wall 403 is provided with a second weighing plate 404 for weighing the residual feed in the feed trough 4.

[0028] Under the action of the rotating motor 603 and the fixing ring 602, the rotating motor 603 drives the feed trough 4 to rotate around the fixing ring 602. In the control system, the rotation speed and angle of the rotating motor 603 are set so that the feed trough 4 can be turned over 180° when pouring out the feed.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first weighing plate 103 and the second weighing plate 404 are both implemented based on weighing sensors in the prior art, similar to common electronic scales for weighing. The weighing sensors and the rotating motor 603 are both electrically connected to the control unit.

[0030] In the initial state, the first weighing plate 103 and the second weighing plate 404 are calibrated first; it can be understood that, based on the feeding device provided in this embodiment, the first weighing plate 103 can provide a space for the sheep to stand when eating, and the sheep will leave the first weighing plate 103 after eating; that is, through the real-time data collection of the first weighing plate 103, it can be known whether the sheep enters or leaves the first weighing plate 103; specifically, when the pressure value / weight detected by the first weighing plate 103 is 0 or lower than a certain set threshold value, it can be determined that the sheep has left the first weighing plate 103; that is, the control unit can determine whether the sheep has left based on the data collected in real time at the first weighing plate 103; in determining whether the sheep has left After leaving the first weighing plate 103, the control unit can determine whether to start the rotating motor 603 based on the second weight data detected by the second weighing plate 404; for example, if the pressure detected by the second weighing plate 404 is greater than a certain set minimum value such as 5g, the rotating motor 603 is started to drive the feed trough 4 to flip 180°, so that the residual feed in the feed trough 4 is poured into the discharge cavity 5 below, and discharged and collected through the discharge port. In addition, an alarm function can be added. When the first weighing plate 404 detects that the sheep has not left for a long time (exceeding the normal feeding time such as the set 10 minutes), the control unit controls, for example, the alarm module to sound an alarm, thereby realizing the process intervention of notifying the staff.

[0031] Since sheep will produce saliva and body fluids while eating, the feed may stick to the first weighing plate 103 and cannot be poured into the discharge chamber 5 during the pouring process. Therefore, a scraper 7 is provided in the feed trough 4 for cleaning the inner surface of the trough side wall 401 and the upper surface of the second weighing plate 404. The scraper 7 can reciprocate along the length direction of the feed trough 4.

[0032] The fixing ring 602 includes a circular ring segment 604 and a gear ring segment 605. The gear ring segment 605 is arranged at the end of the fixing ring 602 away from the feed trough 4. At least one pair of screws 405 are arranged along the length direction of the feed trough 4 in the trough side wall 401. Both ends of the scraper 7 are threadedly connected to the screw 405. A transmission gear 406 for driving the screw 405 to rotate is installed at the end of the screw 405, and the transmission gear 406 is meshed with the gear ring segment 605.

[0033] When the rotating motor 603 drives the feed trough 4 to flip, the transmission gear 406 revolves around the gear ring segment 605 on the one hand, and rotates on its own on the other hand. During the rotation, the screw 405 is driven to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 405 drives the scraper 7 to move along the length direction of the feed trough 4, thereby realizing the scraper 7 cleaning the inner wall of the feed trough 4 to prevent the feed from sticking.

[0034] In this embodiment, the trough bottom wall 403 is arranged in the middle of the trough side wall 401, and the trough bottom wall 403 divides the feed trough 4 into two symmetrical troughs, and the upper and lower ends of the trough bottom wall 403 are provided with second weighing plates 404, that is, when the upper end feed trough 4 is flipped to the lower end, the lower end feed trough 4 is used to feed the next sheep, which has higher efficiency; in addition, the transmission ratio between the transmission gear 406 and the gear ring segment 605 can be adjusted to achieve that when the feed trough 4 is flipped to a half circle or a full circle or a corresponding multiple (that is, when the notch of the upper feed trough 4 is facing upward), the scraper 7 just runs from one end of the feed trough 4 to the other end, so that the entire device can feed efficiently and orderly.

[0035] In this embodiment, a nozzle 803 for marking the sheep after feeding and a medicine box hung on the fence 2 are also provided at the post-feeding evacuation area 8. The nozzle 803 is controlled to spray medicine through an electromagnetic valve. The electromagnetic valve is electrically connected to the control unit. When the pressure detected by the second weighing plate 404 is greater than a set maximum value, it indicates that the beach sheep has a poor appetite for some reason and a large amount of residual feed appears. The corresponding signal is synchronously sent to the control unit, and the control unit controls the nozzle 803 to spray the marking medicine on the beach sheep to mark it, so that the staff can promptly discover the specific situation of the beach sheep and obtain timely inspection.

[0036] It is easy to understand that those skilled in the art can combine, split, reorganize, etc. the embodiments of the present application to obtain other embodiments based on one or several embodiments provided in the present application, and these embodiments do not exceed the protection scope of the present application.

[0037] In conclusion, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
