Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheep farming, and more specifically, to a centralized feeding device for sheep farming. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry is the production sector that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising to convert plant energy from pasture and feed into animal energy, producing livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal herbs. It is a crucial link in the exchange of materials between humans and nature. Animal husbandry is a major component of agriculture, ranking alongside crop farming as one of the two pillars of agricultural production.
[0003] Currently, in the process of raising meat sheep, regular feeding is required. The conventional feeding method mostly involves manually feeding the sheep into corresponding troughs. Since the troughs are mostly rectangular, the sheep will eat around the perimeter of the trough after feeding. When there are many sheep, they are prone to squeezing and colliding with each other while eating. If multiple troughs are placed, not only is it necessary to add feed to each trough one by one, but each trough also needs to be cleaned one by one afterward. Furthermore, it is impossible to centrally observe the overall eating situation of the sheep. Therefore, we have made an improvement and proposed a centralized feeding device for meat sheep farming. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a centralized feeding device for sheep farming. By setting up a feeding and transmission structure, it solves the problem that conventional feeding devices cannot ensure that sheep graze evenly.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A centralized feeding device for meat sheep includes a feeding cylinder. A height adjustment unit is provided at the center of the feeding cylinder. A slider is mounted on the surface of the height adjustment unit. An upper movable groove is provided on the top of the outer side of the slider, and a lower movable groove is provided on the bottom of the outer side of the slider. A filter bucket is movably mounted on the surface of the slider through the lower movable groove. A lower protrusion is fixed on the bottom wall of the lower movable groove. An upper protrusion corresponding to and adapted to the lower protrusion is fixed on the bottom wall of the filter bucket. A rotary drive unit is fixed on the top of the filter bucket. The outer side of the feeding cylinder is provided with a material conveying structure that communicates with the inside of the feeding cylinder. The outer wall of the feeding cylinder is also provided with a transmission structure corresponding to the material conveying structure. The transmission structure is used to drive the material conveying structure and the filter hopper.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a reset unit is also provided on the slider.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the reset unit includes a movable ring slidably disposed in the lower movable groove and a ball movably embedded in the bottom wall of the movable ring. A guide rod is fixed to the top of the movable ring, and a spring is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod. The guide rod is slidably inserted inside the slider, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the corresponding movable ring and the slider.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the rotary drive unit includes an inner slide cylinder fixed to the top of the filter hopper and an outer slide cylinder sliding outside the inner slide cylinder. A toothed ring is fixed on the surface of the outer slide cylinder, and a gear meshes on one side of the toothed ring. A motor is provided on the top of the gear, and the output end of the motor is fixed to the center of the gear.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a connecting plate is fixed to the end of the motor away from the gear, and the connecting plate is fixed to the top of the slider; A stabilizing ring is slidably provided in the upper movable groove, and the stabilizing ring is connected and fixed to the outer sliding cylinder by a connecting block.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the material conveying structure includes a discharge end fixed to the bottom of the outer side of the feeding cylinder and a feeding plate hinged to the outer end of the discharge end. The end of the feeding plate has an polymerization groove, and the polymerization groove, the feeding plate and the discharge end are interconnected.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the transmission structure includes a U-shaped plate fixed to the surface of the feeding cylinder, an upper guide wheel is movably mounted on the top of the U-shaped plate, a lower guide wheel is movably mounted on the bottom of the U-shaped plate, and a transmission rope is provided between the upper guide wheel and the lower guide wheel for transmission. One end of the transmission rope is fixed to the surface of the corresponding feeding plate.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the filter hopper has a sliding part at its edge, and the sliding part is slidably assembled with the side wall of the feeding cylinder. The other end of the transmission rope extends into the inside of the feeding cylinder and is fixed with a sliding ring, which is slidably disposed at the bottom of the sliding part.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the height adjustment unit includes a support rod fixed to the center of the bottom wall of the feeding cylinder and a screw rod movably assembled to the center of the bottom wall of the support rod via a bearing seat. One end of the screw rod passes through the outside of the support rod and is fixed with a handle. The support rod has strip grooves on both sides of its surface. The inner side of the slider extends into the support rod through the strip grooves to form a connecting part. A block is fixed between the two connecting parts, and the block is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the scheme of this application: 1. Through the designed feeding structure, after feeding is done in the feeding cylinder, feed can be transported synchronously in multiple directions, allowing multiple feeding plates to feed at the same time. Since multiple feeding plates are distributed along the circumference of the feeding cylinder and have gaps between them, during actual feeding, the sheep can eat in groups according to the position of the feeding plate, avoiding concentration and affecting the uniformity of eating. At the same time, since each feeding plate also has a certain length, the sheep around the feeding plate can also eat more dispersedly, so as to better meet the overall feeding needs of the sheep. 2. Through the designed transmission structure, after feeding, the feed plate can be flipped by the movement of the filter bucket via the transmission rope. This not only forms an effective storage function, reducing the overall volume and facilitating transportation, but also hides the feed plate in the stored state, so that the sheep can automatically disperse when they cannot see the feed, avoiding the problem of huddling together. 3. By setting up a filter bucket, when the filter bucket is driven to rotate by the rotary drive unit, the upper and lower protrusions will intermittently collide, which will cause the filter bucket to vibrate intermittently. This vibration will cause the feed above the filter bucket to fall, thus controlling the amount of feed fed to a certain extent and achieving a quantitative feeding effect. 4. With the height adjustment unit, when the filter hopper does not need to be fed, rotating the screw can move the filter hopper upward, so that it can move to the top of the feeding cylinder, thereby protecting the internal space of the feeding cylinder and preventing the accumulation of debris. At the same time, the upward-moving filter hopper can also drive the transmission structure, which ultimately causes the material conveying structure to flip over to achieve a storage effect, making it more functional.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a technical solution: a centralized feeding device for sheep farming, including a feeding cylinder 1. A height adjustment unit 2 is provided at the center of the feeding cylinder 1. A slider 3 is mounted on the surface of the height adjustment unit 2. An upper movable groove 31 is provided on the top of the outer side of the slider 3. A lower movable groove 32 is provided on the bottom of the outer side of the slider 3. A filter hopper 33 is movably mounted on the surface of the slider 3 through the lower movable groove 32. The surface of the filter hopper 33 has a mesh. In this way, when the feed is concentrated and piled up above the filter hopper 33, the feed can be prevented from falling to the bottom. Only a portion of the feed can be vibrated and quantitatively fall through the mesh. A lower protrusion 34 is fixed on the bottom wall of the lower movable groove 32. An upper protrusion 35 corresponding to and adapted to the lower protrusion 34 is fixed on the bottom wall of the filter hopper 33. A rotary drive unit 4 is fixed on the top of the filter hopper 33. The outer side of the feeding cylinder 1 is provided with a material conveying structure 6 that communicates with the inside of the feeding cylinder 1. The outer wall of the feeding cylinder 1 is also provided with a transmission structure 7 corresponding to the material conveying structure 6. The transmission structure 7 is used to drive the material conveying structure 6 and the filter hopper 33. A reset unit 5 is also provided on the slider 3; The reset unit 5 includes a movable ring 51 slidably disposed in the lower movable groove 32 and a ball bearing 52 movably embedded in the bottom wall of the movable ring 51. A guide rod 53 is fixed to the top of the movable ring 51, and a spring 54 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 53. When the movable ring 51 is subjected to an external force, it can slide along the height direction of the lower movable groove 32. That is to say, the movable ring 51 and the lower movable groove 32 are in a state of free up-and-down sliding. Thus, when subjected to the supporting force of the spring 54, the movable ring 51 will abut against the top of the filter hopper 33. The guide rod 53 is slidably inserted inside the slider 3. The guide rod 53 will not separate from the slider 3 during the sliding process, and the two ends of the spring 54 are respectively connected to the corresponding movable ring 51 and slider 3. like Figure 5 As shown, the rotary drive unit 4 includes an inner sliding cylinder 41 fixed to the top of the filter hopper 33 and an outer sliding cylinder 42 sliding outside the inner sliding cylinder 41. The outer sliding cylinder 42 and the inner sliding cylinder 41 can slide against each other without separating from each other. A toothed ring 43 is fixed on the surface of the outer slide cylinder 42. A gear 44 meshes with one side of the toothed ring 43. A motor 45 is provided on the top of the gear 44. The output end of the motor 45 is fixed to the center of the gear 44. A connecting plate 46 is fixed to the end of the motor 45 away from the gear 44. The connecting plate 46 is fixed to the top of the slider 3. A stabilizing ring 47 is slidably provided in the upper movable groove 31, and the stabilizing ring 47 is connected and fixed to the outer sliding cylinder 42 by a connecting block 48; When the starting motor 45 drives the gear 44 to rotate, the gear 44 will drive the toothed ring 43 on one side to form a meshing transmission. This will cause the toothed ring 43 to drive the outer slide cylinder 42 on it to rotate. Due to the sliding assembly between the outer slide cylinder 42 and the inner slide cylinder 41 in the height direction (e.g., ... Figure 5 As shown, the outer sliding cylinder 42 can only slide in the height direction with the inner sliding cylinder 41, and will not slide or rotate in the axial direction. Therefore, when the inner sliding cylinder 41 and the outer sliding cylinder 42 rotate at any time, the other component will also rotate synchronously. Therefore, the inner sliding cylinder 41 will rotate synchronously with the outer sliding cylinder 42, and the outer sliding cylinder 42 will drive the bottom filter hopper 33 to rotate. The continuously rotating filter hopper 33 causes the upper protrusion 35 and lower protrusion 34 to intermittently collide. The upper protrusion 35, which is subjected to the collision, causes the inner sliding cylinder 41 to move upward. When the upper protrusion 35 is not subjected to the collision during rotation, it will move downward and fall back down. By repeating the above steps, the upper protrusion 35 can form an up-down-up reciprocating pattern, which can also cause the inner sliding cylinder 41 to move up and down intermittently. Since the inner sliding cylinder 41 and the filter hopper 33 are in a fixed state, the filter hopper 33 also forms an intermittent up-down vibration. The filter hopper 33 in the up-down vibration state can cause the feed on it to fall into the mesh, achieving a relatively quantitative feeding effect. The feeding structure 6 includes a discharge end 61 fixed to the bottom of the outer side of the feeding cylinder 1 and a feeding plate 62 hinged to the outer end of the discharge end 61. The end of the feeding plate 62 has a polymerization groove 63. The polymerization groove 63, the feeding plate 62, and the discharge end 61 are interconnected. Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall of the feeding cylinder 1 is shaped like a bucket, so that the feed falling from above will be diverted to the edge and finally fall into the external feeding plate 62 through the inclined discharge end 61, thus achieving a feeding effect that can be achieved simultaneously from multiple directions. The transmission structure 7 includes a U-shaped plate 71 fixed to the surface of the feeding cylinder 1. An upper guide wheel 72 is movably mounted on the top of the U-shaped plate 71, and a lower guide wheel 73 is movably mounted on the bottom of the U-shaped plate 71. A transmission rope 74 is connected between the upper guide wheel 72 and the lower guide wheel 73 for transmission. One end of the transmission rope 74 is fixed to the surface of the corresponding feeding plate 62. The filter hopper 33 has a sliding part 330 at its edge. The sliding part 330 is slidably assembled with the side wall of the feeding cylinder 1. The other end of the transmission rope 74 extends into the inside of the feeding cylinder 1 and is fixed with a sliding ring 75. The sliding ring 75 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the sliding part 330, so that the sliding ring 75 can slide at the bottom of the sliding part 330 without falling off. like Figure 1 The feeding cylinder 1 is in the feeding state shown in the figure. At this time, the multiple feeding structures 6 on the feeding cylinder 1 are synchronously deployed. In this embodiment, there are six feeding structures 6. In actual application, the actual number of feeding structures 6 can be adjusted according to the actual application. When the six feeding structures 6 are synchronously deployed on the outside of the feeding cylinder 1, feed can be transported synchronously in multiple directions, so that multiple feeding plates 62 can feed at the same time. Since the multiple feeding plates 62 are distributed along the circumference of the feeding cylinder 1 and have gaps between them, the sheep can eat in groups according to the position of the feeding plate 62 during actual feeding, avoiding concentration and affecting the uniformity of eating. At the same time, since each feeding plate 62 also has a certain length, the sheep around the feeding plate 62 can be more dispersed to better meet the overall feeding needs of the sheep. The height adjustment unit 2 includes a support rod 21 fixed at the center of the bottom wall of the feeding cylinder 1 and a lead screw 22 movably mounted at the center of the bottom wall of the support rod 21 via a bearing seat. One end of the lead screw 22 passes through the outside of the support rod 21 and is fixed with a handle. The support rod 21 has strip grooves 23 on both sides of its surface. The inner side of the slider 3 extends into the support rod 21 through the strip grooves 23 to form a connecting part 24. A block 25 is fixed between the two connecting parts 24. The block 25 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 22. It should be noted that the bottom wall of the strip groove 23 in this embodiment is inclined. Similarly, the bottom wall of the groove on the side wall of the feeding cylinder 1 for the sliding part 330 to slide is also inclined. This facilitates the falling of the feed piled on it. Since the feed used for feeding sheep in this embodiment is in powder form, even if the material in this state is piled up in the gaps inside the device, it will not affect the transmission and function between the structures. At the same time, the personnel will clean the device regularly to meet normal application. In the actual feeding process, the feed piles up and falls at the edge of the filter hopper 33. Therefore, only a small amount of feed will come into contact with the part of the slider 3, so the impact on it can be ignored to meet the stable application of the device. like Figure 2 As shown, the current state is the storage state, that is, the state where no feed needs to be fed. In this state, the feeding structure 6 is stored. At this time, the filter hopper 33 moves to the top of the feeding cylinder 1, which can form a relative protection for the internal space of the feeding cylinder 1 and prevent debris from falling in and accumulating. The specific steps are as follows. Rotating the lead screw 22 allows it to slide along the height of the support rod 21 via the block 25 and the connecting part 24. As the lead screw 22 is continuously rotated, the slider 3 slides upward. The slider 3 in the sliding state will synchronously drive the filter hopper 33 on it to rise. The filter hopper 33 in the rising state will tighten the feeding plate 62 through the transmission rope 74. Finally, when the filter hopper 33 rises to a certain height, the feeding plate 62 is in a state close to the outside of the feeding cylinder 1. This design effectively stores the feed, reducing the overall size of the device and facilitating transport. The stored feed plate 62 is also concealed, allowing the sheep to disperse automatically once they can no longer see the feed, thus preventing them from crowding together.
