Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cattle breeding, and particularly to a cattle shed with an automatic feed delivery function. Background Art
[0002] As warm-blooded animals, cattle have certain requirements for environmental temperature, humidity, light and other conditions. A cattle shed can provide a relatively stable and suitable living environment for cattle, reducing the impact of harsh external weather on cattle, such as extreme high temperature, low temperature, rain, snow, strong wind, etc. A suitable cattle shed environment helps to improve the production performance and health level of cattle. In the wild environment, cattle may face threats from natural enemies, such as wolves, leopards, etc. While in the cattle shed, cattle can be effectively protected from being harmed by natural enemies. In addition, the sanitary conditions in the cattle shed are usually better, which is conducive to reducing the occurrence and spread of diseases, thus ensuring the health of cattle.
[0003] Modern cattle sheds are usually equipped with advanced breeding facilities and management systems, such as automatic feeding systems, drinking water equipment, ventilation equipment, etc. These facilities and systems can significantly improve breeding efficiency, reduce labor costs, and at the same time improve the comfort and health level of cattle. In addition, the zoning management in the cattle shed also makes the breeding process more orderly and efficient.
[0004] In the existing cattle shed with an automatic feed delivery function (generally composed of structures such as a support frame and a ceiling), generally, the feed (such as hay) is prepared in an amount for 1 - 3 days for automatic feeding, and when the prepared feed is about to run out, it is replenished, and at the same time, the feeding trough is cleaned. Usually, the humidity of the feed at the bottom of the feeding trough is relatively high because when cattle drink water and then eat, it is inevitable that water will be brought into the feeding trough. And for the feed at the bottom that is difficult for cattle to eat, it will be covered by the feed put in the next time, further increasing the humidity, and the increase in humidity will also increase the generation of mold at the bottom of the feeding trough, which has an impact on the health of cattle.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention proposes a cattle shed with an automatic feed delivery function to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a cattle shed with an automatic feed delivery function, which can timely blow dry and dehumidify the feed placed therein according to the humidity value at the bottom of the feeding trough, or simultaneously stir the feed in the feeding trough, reducing the possibility of long-term residual wet feed at the bottom of the feeding trough, thereby improving the safety of cattle feeding.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A cowshed with an automatic feed delivery function, including a support frame, a ceiling and a controller. The top of the support frame is fixedly connected to the ceiling. A number of limiting frames are symmetrically arranged on the left and right inside the support frame. Feeding components for feeding according to preset conditions are installed on the limiting frames. Feeding troughs are symmetrically arranged on the left and right inside the support frame, and the feeding troughs are located below the feeding components; Support seats are arranged at one end of the feeding troughs close to each other. Moving components are arranged on one side of the support seats close to the feeding troughs. At one end of the moving components close to the feeding troughs, dehumidifying components for blowing air or stirring the feed in the feeding troughs are fixedly connected; A number of signal components for obtaining the bottom humidity of each feeding trough in the feeding area of each cow and corresponding to the limiting frames are fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding trough; The moving components, dehumidifying components, feeding components and signal components are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0008] Principle of the basic solution: According to the humidity value at the bottom of the feeding trough, the feed placed therein can be timely dehumidified by blowing air, or the feed in the feeding trough can be simultaneously stirred to reduce the possibility of long-term residual wet feed at the bottom of the feeding trough, thereby improving the feeding safety of cows.
[0009] The following beneficial effects are achieved by adopting the above solution:
[0010] 1. Compared with the prior art, this solution can obtain the humidity data at the bottom of the feeding trough in real time. Once the humidity exceeds the standard, the system will immediately start the dehumidification program, and quickly remove the excess moisture in the feed by blowing air or stirring, etc., effectively preventing the growth of mold, thereby comprehensively ensuring the feeding safety and physical health of cows.
[0011] 2. The automatic feeding system introduced in this solution greatly reduces the burden of manual feeding. By precisely controlling the feeding frequency and amount, it not only reduces the labor intensity, but also significantly improves the overall breeding efficiency, making the breeding process smoother and more efficient.
[0012] Further, each feeding component includes a storage bin fixedly connected to the limiting frame. An electromagnetic valve communicating with the inside of the storage bin is arranged at the bottom of the storage bin. The electromagnetic valve is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe at the bottom, and the delivery pipe is located above the feeding trough.
[0013] Beneficial effects: Through the cooperation of the electromagnetic valve and the delivery pipe, the automatic feeding of the feed is realized, greatly improving the breeding efficiency and reducing the labor cost. The precise positioning of the delivery pipe ensures that the feed can be accurately delivered into the feeding trough, avoiding waste and scattering of the feed. The design of the storage bin makes the storage and management of the feed more convenient and reduces the operation difficulty in the breeding process.
[0014] Further, each moving component includes a moving groove opened on the surface of the support seat. A moving block is arranged in the moving groove, and the moving block is electrically connected to the controller.
[0015] Beneficial effects: Through the electrical connection between the controller and the moving block, precise control of the movement of the moving block is achieved. This ensures that the dehumidification component can accurately move to the area with higher humidity in the feeding trough for targeted dehumidification or stirring operations, improving work efficiency and accuracy. This design further enhances the automation level of the cowshed. Without manual intervention, the system can automatically adjust the position of the moving block and the working mode of the dehumidification component according to the humidity data at the bottom of the feeding trough, realizing full-automatic management. Since the moving block can move freely in the moving groove, this design has strong adaptability to feeding troughs of different sizes and shapes. No matter how the layout of the feeding trough changes, the effective operation of the dehumidification component can be ensured by adjusting the position of the moving block.
[0016] Furthermore, the signal components all include humidity sensors fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding trough, and the humidity sensors are electrically connected to the controller.
[0017] Beneficial effects: The humidity sensor can real-time monitor the humidity at the bottom of the feeding trough, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the data. This is crucial for timely detecting and handling problems of excessive humidity, helping to prevent feed from getting damp and deteriorating and the growth of bacteria.
[0018] Furthermore, the dehumidification components all include a support shell fixed on the moving block. A first motor is arranged at the top of the support shell, and a first pulley is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor; second pulleys are symmetrically and rotatably connected to the side wall of the support shell, and motor boxes are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the support shell. Second motors are arranged inside the motor boxes, and the axes of the output shafts of the two second motors coincide. The output shafts of the second motors are all coaxially and fixedly connected with connecting rods; a support plate is also included, and both ends of the support plate are fixedly connected to the two connecting rods respectively. A rotating shaft is rotatably fitted on the support plate, and a third pulley is coaxially and fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft; a transmission belt that is slidably fitted with both of them is arranged between the two second pulleys, and the first pulley and the third pulley are both slidably fitted with the transmission belt; a plurality of stirring blades are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft; the first motor and the second motor are both electrically connected to the controller.
[0019] Beneficial effects: By driving the first pulley to rotate by the first motor, and then driving the transmission belt, the third pulley and the stirring blades on the rotating shaft to rotate, the stirring of the feed at the bottom of the feeding trough is realized. At the same time, the second motor drives the connecting rods and the support plate to swing, so that the stirring blades can also produce a certain beating effect while stirring, which helps to more effectively discharge the moisture in the feed, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency. Since the first motor and the second motor are both electrically connected to the controller, the entire dehumidification process can be automatically controlled by the controller. According to the data of the humidity sensor, the controller can intelligently adjust the rotation speed and working time of the motors, ensuring the dehumidification effect while saving energy.
[0020] Furthermore, when the third pulley revolves, its axis of rotation coincides with the transmission belt.
[0021] Beneficial effects: Through the design that the axis of rotation of the third pulley coincides with the transmission belt when the third pulley revolves, during the deflection process of the third pulley, the third pulley can be continuously driven to rotate by the transmission belt, so as to simultaneously stir and blow air on the forage at the bottom of the feeding trough, thereby further improving the dehumidification efficiency.
[0022] Furthermore, an elastic layer is provided on the surface of the support shell.
[0023] Beneficial effects: The elastic layer can absorb and disperse external impact forces, thereby protecting the support shell from damage. In the cowshed environment, certain vibrations and impacts may occur during the feed delivery and stirring processes. The existence of the elastic layer can effectively reduce the damage of these forces to the support shell and extend its service life. The elastic layer also has certain sound insulation performance, which can reduce the noise generated during the operation of the motor from being transmitted into the cowshed, providing a quieter and more comfortable feeding environment for the cows.
[0024] Furthermore, it further includes a visual component, and the visual component includes an image sensor fixedly connected to the top of the support shell, and the image sensor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0025] Beneficial effects: Through the collaborative work of the image sensor and the controller, the system can make intelligent decisions based on real-time image information. For example, when a cow is detected, the dehumidification operation is paused, and automatic dehumidification is carried out after the cow leaves. This intelligent management method greatly improves the automation level and breeding efficiency of the cowshed. Thus, it avoids interfering with the cows during feeding.
[0026] Furthermore, the controller is used to control the movement of the moving block, and control the rotation of the first motor and the second motor based on the humidity data of the bottom of the feeding trough obtained by the humidity sensor; when the humidity is greater than the first warning humidity and less than the second warning humidity, the moving block moves to the corresponding position and the first motor is started; when the humidity is greater than the second warning humidity, the moving block moves to the corresponding position and the first motor and the second motor are started.
[0027] Beneficial effects: Through the real-time analysis and intelligent decision-making of the humidity data by the controller, precise control of the dehumidification operation is achieved, which not only improves the operation efficiency, but also ensures the timeliness and effectiveness of feed dehumidification. And it can make corresponding responses according to different humidity situations. Whether it is slightly damp or severely damp, appropriate treatment strategies can be found. By dehumidifying in a timely and effective manner, the possibility of feed mildew and pathogen breeding is reduced, thereby protecting the health of the cows. At the same time, through the stirring action of the stirring blades, the wet feed is mixed with the dry feed to improve the overall dryness of the feed and avoid feed waste.
[0028] Further, when the controller recognizes that there is a cow in the feeding area of the feeding trough to be dehumidified based on the image acquired by the image sensor, the moving block does not enter the feeding area.
[0029] Beneficial effects: This improvement ensures the safety of cows during the feeding process. It avoids potential injuries to cows, such as collisions or entanglements, caused by mechanical components such as moving blocks, stirring blades, or conveyor belts accidentally entering the feeding area. When the controller recognizes that there is no cow in the feeding trough, it will quickly command the moving block and the dehumidification component to enter the working area to efficiently dehumidify the feed. This dehumidification strategy based on real-time image recognition not only improves work efficiency but also ensures the dryness and hygiene of the feed, contributing to the improvement of the health level and production performance of cows.

[0038] The following is a further detailed description through specific embodiments:
[0039] Embodiment 1:
[0040] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 : A cowshed with an automated feed delivery function includes a support frame 1, a ceiling, and a controller. The top of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling to provide necessary shelter for the cowshed. Inside the support frame 1, a number of limiting frames 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. On each limiting frame 2, a feeding assembly for delivering feed according to preset conditions is installed. Inside the support frame 1, feeding troughs 6 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right for cows to eat. The feeding troughs 6 are located below the feeding assemblies; at one end where the feeding troughs 6 are close to each other, support seats 7 are provided. On the side of each support seat 7 close to the feeding trough 6, a moving assembly is provided. At one end of the moving assembly close to the feeding trough 6, a dehumidifying assembly for blowing air or stirring the feed in the feeding trough 6 is fixedly connected; at the bottom of the feeding trough 6, a number of signal assemblies for obtaining the bottom humidity of each feeding trough 6 in the feeding area of each cow and corresponding to the limiting frames 2 are fixedly connected; the moving assembly, the dehumidifying assembly, the feeding assembly, and the signal assembly are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0041] For current cowsheds, efficient and convenient breeding is crucial. Therefore, a feeding component is set up to avoid the need for manual feeding of cows in the cowshed every day, reducing labor costs and improving feeding efficiency. At the same time, the feeding components all include a storage bin 3 fixedly connected to the limit frame 2. The storage bin 3 pre-stores the feeding amount for each cow for 2-3 days. A solenoid valve 4 communicating with the inside of the storage bin 3 is arranged at the bottom of the storage bin 3. The bottom of the solenoid valve 4 is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe 5. The delivery pipe 5 is located above the feeding trough 6, and the opening time period and duration of the solenoid valve 4 are set every day through a controller, so as to control the amount of feed fed into the feeding trough 6 each time.
[0042] Due to the daily water use of cows and their own saliva, some dry feed and the inner wall of the feeding trough 6 will be adhered with liquid. During the feeding process of cows, some wet forage at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 will be moved to some corners at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 and adhered to these corners, making it difficult for cows to eat. Therefore, after multiple automatic feedings, this part of the forage is prone to rot and deteriorate, breeding bacteria and affecting the health of cows.
[0043] Therefore, a moving component is arranged along the length direction of the feeding trough 6. When the signal component detects that the humidity at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 is greater than the preset value, the dehumidifying component is moved to the feeding area through the moving component for subsequent dehumidification treatment. The moving components all include moving grooves opened on the surface of the support base 7. A moving block 8 is arranged in the moving groove. The moving block 8 is configured with a driving wheel driven by a motor. The moving block 8 (motor) is electrically connected to the controller. The specific movement process of the moving component is as follows: After receiving the instruction, the moving block 8 starts to move along the length direction of the moving groove. When the moving block 8 reaches the target position, the controller receives the position confirmation signal and stops sending the moving instruction. After the moving block 8 reaches the target position, the controller starts the dehumidifying component to perform dehumidification operations, including blowing air and stirring to remove the moisture and adhered forage at the bottom of the feeding trough 6. Among them, the signal components all include a humidity sensor 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding trough 6. The humidity sensor 9 is electrically connected to the controller. The humidity sensor 9 can be installed at the bottom of the water inlet trough in the feeding area of each cow to improve safety. At the same time, for the installation quantity of the moving block 8, a one-to-many form can be adopted, that is, one moving block 8 assists in the dehumidification work of the water inlet areas of multiple cows, and the overall efficiency is improved.
[0044] After the moving block 8 reaches the target position, different modes of the dehumidifying component are started according to the humidity information. Among them, the dehumidifying components all include a support shell 13 fixed on the moving block 8. A first motor is arranged at the top of the support shell 13. The output shaft of the first motor is coaxially fixedly connected with a first belt pulley 19; the side walls of the support shell 13 are symmetrically rotatably connected with second belt pulleys 14; motor boxes 15 are symmetrically arranged on the side walls of the support shell 13. Second motors are arranged inside the motor boxes 15, and the axes of the output shafts of the two second motors coincide. The output shafts of the second motors are all coaxially fixedly connected with connecting rods 16;
[0045] It further includes a support plate 11. Two ends of the support plate 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the two connecting rods 16. A rotating shaft 18 is rotatably fitted on the support plate 11. A third pulley 17 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 18. A transmission belt 20 which is slidably fitted with the two second pulleys 14 is arranged between the two second pulleys 14. Both the first pulley 19 and the third pulley 17 are slidably fitted with the transmission belt 20. A plurality of stirring blades 10 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 18. The first motor and the second motor are both electrically connected to the controller.
[0046] The controller is used to control the movement of the moving block 8 and the rotation of the first motor and the second motor based on the humidity data at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 obtained by the humidity sensor 9. One mode is as follows: when the humidity is greater than the first warning humidity and less than the second warning humidity, the moving block 8 moves to the corresponding position, and the first motor is started to drive the first pulley 19 to rotate, and then the first pulley 19 is used as the main driving force, and the second pulley 14 is used as the secondary driving force (playing the role of stabilizing the transmission belt 20), and the third pulley 17 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 20, and then the third pulley 17 drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, so that the stirring blade 10 on the rotating shaft 18 rotates to generate wind, which blows to the bottom of the water inlet trough to accelerate the evaporation of water at the bottom. The other mode is that when the humidity is greater than the second warning humidity, the moving block 8 moves to the corresponding position, and the first motor and the second motor are started, wherein the movement process of the stirring blade 10 rotating to blow air is the same as the above mode, but when the second motor is started, the connecting rod 16 will be rotated by a certain angle (set in advance), thereby driving the support plate 11 to rotate, and since the rotating shaft 18 is set on the support plate 11, the rotating shaft 18 and the third pulley 17 will also be deflected, so that the stirring blade 10 on the rotating shaft 18 is close to the bottom of the feeding trough 6, and at the same time, when the third pulley 17 revolves, its rotating shaft 18 line coincides with the transmission belt 20, that is, the third pulley 17 always slides with the transmission belt 20 during the rotation process (that is, it can be driven by the transmission belt 20) The third pulley 17 rotates), and during the rotation of the support plate 11, the stirring blades 10 gradually approach the bottom of the water inlet trough. After rotating at a preset angle, the second motor is stopped. At this time, the driving of the first motor can not only make the wind generated by the stirring blades 10 further blow to the bottom of the feeding trough 6, but also loosen some grass adhering to the bottom wall of the water inlet trough, which is easy to stir and process later. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring blades 10 can also reduce the wet grass at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 and replace and mix it with the dry grass above, so that the accumulated liquid or grass with high humidity at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 is dispersed into the dry grass, and the moisture at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 is quickly reduced by other dry grass to absorb water, and the possibility of excessive moisture in the local area at the bottom of the feeding trough 6 being difficult to dehumidify quickly is also greatly reduced. Therefore, by dispersing the grass with high humidity (a small part) into the dry grass (most part) and then drying it by blowing air, not only the dehumidification efficiency is improved, the possibility of grass mold affecting the health of cattle is reduced, but also the grass can be fully utilized.
[0047] Embodiment 2:
[0048] The difference from the above embodiment is that, Figure 3As shown in the figure, it further includes a visual component, and the visual component includes an image sensor 12 fixedly connected to the top of the support shell 13. The image sensor 12 is electrically connected to the controller. When the controller recognizes that there is a cow in the feeding area of the feeding trough 6 to be dehumidified based on the image obtained by the image sensor 12, the moving block 8 does not enter the feeding area. When the controller recognizes that there is a cow in the feeding trough 6 to be dehumidified, it will immediately stop the moving block 8 from entering the feeding area, effectively avoiding possible accidental injuries to cows during the dehumidification process, such as collisions or entanglements of the stirring blade 10 or the conveyor belt 20 with cows, thus ensuring the safety of cows during the feeding process. When there is no cow in the feeding trough 6, dehumidification components such as the moving block 8 and the support shell 13 can quickly enter the working area to perform efficient dehumidification treatment on the feed, not only improving work efficiency, but also ensuring the dryness and hygiene of the feed, which helps to improve the health level and production performance of cows.
[0049] Embodiment 3:
[0050] The difference from the above embodiment is that an elastic layer is provided on the surface of the support shell 13. In the cowshed environment, the operation of the dehumidification components may generate certain noise and vibration. As a shock-absorbing and noise-reducing barrier, the elastic layer can absorb and disperse these noise and vibration, thereby reducing the impact on cows, helping to maintain a quiet environment in the cowshed, improving the comfort of cows, reducing stress reactions caused by noise and vibration, and at the same time reducing the damage to cows and equipment when cows collide with the support shell 13.
[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples clearly described and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
