[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] The difference between concentrated feed and roughage:

[0026] 1. Different classifications

[0027] Concentrated feed, also known as concentrated feed, is relative to roughage. It is a type of feed that is rich in nutrients per unit volume or unit weight, low in crude fiber content, and high in digestible nutrients.

[0028] Roughage is feed with a natural moisture content of less than 60%, a crude fiber content of dry matter equal to or higher than 18%, and is fed in the form of air-dried matter.

[0029] 2. Different characteristics

[0030] Concentrated feed mainly includes the seeds of crops (cereals, beans and seeds of oil crops) and their processed by-products. From a nutritional point of view, it can be divided into two categories: energy feed and protein feed. Generally speaking, energy feed has good palatability and high digestible nutrient content, so processing and modulation are of little significance.

[0031] Roughage provides a large amount of nutrients for ruminants and is an indispensable source of nutrition for the ruminant body. Corn stalks, rice straw and sweet potato vines are several commonly used roughages in the ruminant animal breeding industry. Ryegrass is one of the most widely planted high-quality forage varieties in southern my country in winter, with high yield and good quality. The planting area of ​​bullwhip grass is also becoming increasingly wider.

[0049] 1. The feeding efficiency is improved by spreading roughage and concentrate feed at the same time. The concentrate feed is designed to slide freely, which greatly reduces the breakage rate of the pellet concentrate feed, thereby increasing the concentrate feed intake rate of the calves;

[0050] 2. Put the concentrated feed in front and the roughage in the back, and mix the two feeds in a covering manner during the spreading process. This mixture allows the calves to eat more roughage and help the calves grow;

[0059] A multifunctional spiral push-type feeding machine for dairy cows comprises a walking device, and a pushing device, an intelligent identification control device, a forage throwing device and a concentrate feeding device installed on the walking device. The pushing device is located at the front end of the walking device, and the pushing direction of the pushing device is toward the feeding side. The discharge port of the forage throwing device is located in front of the discharge port of the concentrate feeding device. The intelligent identification control device comprises a radar and a depth camera, which are used to capture a pile image and transmit it to a control system. The control system controls the grass pushing efficiency and the forage preparation and spreading efficiency according to the size of the pile volume.

[0060] This solution realizes the movement of the whole machine through the walking device, pushes the feed to the feeding side where the cow is located through the pushing device to ensure that the feed is within the reach of the cow, feed is fed through the grass throwing device, and concentrated feed is fed through the concentrated feed supplementary feeding device, and the discharge port of the grass throwing device is located in front of the discharge port of the concentrated feed supplementary feeding device, so that the concentrated feed falls on the grass during feeding, thereby improving the efficiency of concentrated feed consumption and reducing waste.

[0061] The pusher and the travel device are both electrically connected to the control system, and a depth camera electrically connected to the control system is installed at the front end of the pusher. This optimization solution captures the image of the material pile through the depth camera and transmits it to the control system. The control system controls the pushing speed of the pusher and the walking speed of the travel device according to the size of the material pile, achieving a reasonable coordination of the pushing speed and the walking speed, making the pushing of materials more thorough.

[0062] The pusher device includes a bracket connected to the walking device, a spiral pusher auger rotatably arranged on the bracket, and a pusher driving device for driving the spiral pusher auger to rotate. The bracket is fixed with a pusher housing extending from the bottom of the spiral pusher auger to the rear of the spiral pusher auger, and the axis of the spiral pusher auger extends in the left and right direction. The pusher device of this optimization scheme uses the combined action of the spiral pusher auger and the pusher housing to push the feed, has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and occupies a small space.

[0063] A brush is installed at the lower end of the pusher housing, and the bristles of the brush extend vertically and are arranged in the left and right directions. This optimization scheme uses the brush to pile up the feed on the ground when the whole machine moves forward, so as to facilitate the pushing of the spiral pusher, reduce the residual material, and make the pushing of the feed more thorough and clean.

[0066] The push drive device includes a push motor, and an auger connection flange and a transmission flange fixedly connected by at least two transmission connection shafts, the auger connection flange is transmission-connected to the spiral push auger, the output shaft of the push motor is transmission-connected to the transmission flange, the push motor is located between the auger connection flange and the transmission flange, and the push motor, the auger connection flange and the transmission flange are coaxially arranged. The structural arrangement of this optimization scheme reduces the space occupied by the push drive device, is conducive to reducing the size of the whole machine, and is more suitable for pushing materials in the aisle of the dairy cattle breeding pen, while using the transmission connection shaft to protect the push motor.

[0067] The walking device includes a chassis, a driving wheel and a rear universal wheel installed on the chassis. There are two driving wheels, which are coaxially arranged. The rear universal wheel is located behind the driving wheel. The two driving wheels are respectively connected to a walking driving device. This optimization scheme drives the driving wheel to rotate through the walking driving device to realize the walking of the whole machine.

The outer side of the mixing barrel is provided with a discharge baffle for shielding the forage discharge port and a discharge telescopic device for driving the discharge baffle to move vertically; the outer side wall of the mixing barrel is also fixed with a support plate located below the forage discharge port, and side baffles extending upward from the front and rear edges of the support plate. The forage throwing device of this optimized solution cuts and mixes the forage through the mixing and cutting device, and throws the mixed forage through the forage discharge port. By providing the support plate, the support distance of the forage is increased, so that the forage falls closer to the cow on the feeding side. The discharge telescopic device is used to realize the up and down movement of the discharge baffle, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the forage discharge port, which is beneficial to control the forage supply amount.

[0069] The concentrate supplementary feeding device includes a plurality of concentrate supplementary feeding bins arranged in sequence, and a transitional feeding bin located below the concentrate supplementary feeding bins. The bottom of the transitional feeding bins is connected to a discharge pipe extending to the feeding side. The lower port of each concentrate supplementary feeding bin is provided with a feeder, and the discharge port of each feeder is connected to the transitional feeding bin. This optimization scheme facilitates the control of the concentrate ingredient amount in each concentrate supplementary feeding bin by setting a feeder. Various types of concentrate are discharged from the discharge pipe after passing through the transitional feeding bin, thereby improving the mixing effect between the concentrates.

[0070] The depth camera, forage throwing device, and concentrate feeding device are all electrically connected to the control system. The front end of the throwing and feeding device is equipped with a depth camera electrically connected to the control system. This optimization solution captures images of the pile and cows through the depth camera and transmits them to the control system. The control system controls the efficiency of cutting, preparing and throwing forage and concentrate according to the size of the pile and the individual number of the cow, so as to achieve timely feed supplementation and ensure the nutritional needs of individual cows.

[0071] The beneficial effects of this solution are: the mechanical structure is simple and practical, the machinery is easy to manufacture, and it can be commercialized and processed on a large scale. The cost is low, and the one-time investment can be reused. It has a high degree of modularization, is relatively easy to install and maintain, and can be operated by one person, making it very easy to use. Through the deep camera, the forage distribution can be intelligently identified, and the forage throwing device and the concentrate feeding device can replenish the feed in time. The pushing screw is used to push the feed, and the pushing efficiency has been greatly improved compared to the traditional manual pushing method. It has a high degree of intelligence and can effectively reduce the problems of excessive waste, feed loss, and increased labor caused by manual pushing, greatly reducing labor costs, saving manpower and material resources, and increasing the income of the ranch.
