[0033] like Figure 1-11 As shown, a livestock timing feeding device comprises:
[0034] A feeding trough 1, a track block 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the front and rear side plates of the feeding trough 1, a track groove 12 is opened in the track block 11, a through groove 13 is opened inside the track groove 12, and an L-shaped buckle plate 14 is fixedly connected to the track block 11;

[0036] The feeding mechanism includes a material guide seat 31 and a feeding roller 32. The material guide seat 31 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right side plates of the feeding bin 21. The material guide seat 31 is provided with an arc-shaped notch on the side close to each other, and the centers of the two notches coincide. The feeding roller 32 is rotatably connected to the center of the notch through a front-to-back symmetrical shaft rod 33. The shaft rod 33 passes through the through groove 13, and gears 34 are fixedly connected at both ends of the shaft rod 33. A rack 35 meshing with the gear 34 is fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the track groove 12. The feeding roller 32 is evenly provided with fan-shaped conveying grooves 36 on the circumference;
[0037] The moving mechanism is used to drive the hopper 2 to move left and right.
[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the hopper 2 is used to hold feed. When feeding, the hopper 2 is driven by the moving mechanism to perform a reciprocating left and right movement, such as Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, when the hopper 2 moves, the slide 23 moves in the buckle plate 14, and when the gear 34 moves to the position of the rack 35, the gear 34 is driven by the rack 35 to rotate, thereby driving the shaft 33 and the feeding roller 32 to rotate.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, when the feeding roller 32 rotates, the upper conveying trough 36 receives the feed, and the lower conveying trough 36 puts the feed into the feeding trough 1. The feed is put in during the process of the hopper 2 moving back and forth once.
[0040] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a transmission bin 41, a guide roller 42, a first rigid rope 43 and a second rigid rope 44; the transmission bin 41 is fixedly connected to the lower left and right sides of the trough 1, a rotating shaft 45 is rotatably connected between the front and rear side plates of the transmission bin 41, and a wire wheel 46 is symmetrically fixed to the front and rear of the rotating shaft 45, a motor 47 is fixedly connected to the front side of the transmission bin 41, and the motor 47 is used to drive the rotating shaft 45 to rotate, and the guide roller 42 is rotatably connected to the upper left and right sides of the trough 1, one end of the first rigid rope 43 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slide seat 23, and the first rigid rope 43 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slide seat 23. The other end is fixed to the right-side wire wheel 46, and the first rigid rope 43 is wound on the right-side wire wheel 46, and the first rigid rope 43 is guided by the right-side guide roller 42, one end of the second rigid rope 44 is fixed to the left side of the slide 23, and the other end of the second rigid rope 44 is fixed to the left-side wire wheel 46, and the second rigid rope 44 is wound on the left-side wire wheel 46, and the second rigid rope 44 is guided by the left-side guide roller 42, and through holes are opened on both sides of the trough 1 and on the top plate of the transmission bin 41 at the positions corresponding to the first rigid rope 43 and the second rigid rope 44.
[0041] like Figure 2 as well as Fig.10 As shown, when the motor 47 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 45 and the wire wheel 46 to rotate, and the two wire wheels 46 rotate synchronously. The first rigid rope 43 is on the left side of the right wire wheel 46, and the second rigid rope 44 is on the right side of the left wire wheel 46. When the wire wheel 46 rotates clockwise, the second rigid rope 44 is wound and the first rigid rope 43 is unwound, thereby causing the hopper 2 to move to the left; conversely, when the wire wheel 46 rotates counterclockwise, the first rigid rope 43 is wound and the second rigid rope 44 is unwound, thereby causing the hopper 2 to move to the right.
[0042] During one position, the two motors 47 drive the wire wheels 46 on the left and right sides to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise alternately.
[0043] Preferably, a U-shaped protective cover 51 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the trough 1 .
[0044] When no feed is provided, the hopper 2 is located in the protective cover 51 to prevent the livestock from damaging the hopper 2 .
[0045] Preferably, a PLC controller 61 is fixedly connected to the front side of the protective cover 51, a power interface of the PLC controller 61 is electrically connected to an external power supply 62, a signal input end of the PLC controller 61 is electrically connected to a timer 63, a control output end of the PLC controller 61 is electrically connected to a timer 64 and a forward and reverse control module 65 in sequence, and the forward and reverse control module 65 is electrically connected to two motors 47.
[0046] like Fig.11 As shown, the timing is set by the timer 63. When the timing is reached, the PLC controller 61 controls the motor 47 to work for feeding. The forward and reverse control module 65 is used to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 47. The timer 64 is used to control the forward and reverse rotation time of the motor 47.
[0047] During feeding, the motor 47 first drives the wire wheel 46 to rotate clockwise, and the hopper 2 moves to the left. The clockwise rotation time of the wire wheel 46 is controlled according to the length of the feeding trough 1. After the time is reached, the motor 47 drives the wire wheel 46 to rotate counterclockwise, and the hopper 2 moves to the right and resets, completing a feeding operation.
[0048] Preferably, a guide seat 52 is slidably connected in the through groove 13 , and the shaft rod 33 is slidably connected in the guide seat 52 .
[0049] like Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the guide seat 52 can support the shaft rod 33 to prevent the shaft rod 33 from being suspended too long and easily deformed.
[0050] Preferably, the top of the material guide seat 31 is tilted downward in a direction pointing to the center of the feeding bin 21 , and the bottom of the material guide seat 31 is tilted downward in a direction away from the center of the feeding bin 21 .
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the material guide seat 31 is tilted so that the feed can be poured into the conveying trough 36, and the bottom of the material guide seat 31 is tilted so that the opening for discharging the feed is enlarged, thereby increasing the feeding width.
[0052] Preferably, a first material dividing plate 53 is evenly and laterally fixed to the bottom of the material dividing bin 22 , and a second material dividing plate 54 is fixed above the first material dividing plate 53 .
[0053] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the first dividing plate 53 and the second dividing plate 54 can expand the feeding range of feed, so that the feeding of feed is more uniform.
[0054] Preferably, a stopper 55 is fixedly connected to the right side of the trough 1, and the top of the stopper 55 is tilted downward from right to left.
[0055] The setting of the stopper 55 can prevent the feed from entering the right end of the trough 1 and being unable to be eaten by the livestock.

The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the invention to only specific implementation methods. Obviously, many modifications and changes can be made according to the content of this specification.
