When watering is needed, the control system controls the water spray component of the adjustable drive component to add water to the annular trough, facilitating the addition of drinking water. When cleaning is required, the control system opens the drain assembly and moves the serrated drive end of the adjustable serrated assembly until it aligns with the serrated drive end of the serrated spreading assembly. The serrated spreading assembly then rotates, driving the adjustable serrated assembly and the water spray assembly. The water spray assembly sprays water, and the rotating serrated drive ends of the serrated spreading assembly and the adjustable serrated assembly rotate along the annular groove, scraping away food residue and water adhering to the groove. The food residue and water are scraped to the drain assembly, where they are collected and processed, thus cleaning the annular groove. The adjustable quantitative feeding assembly monitors the remaining food in the storage bin. When the remaining food is zero, the control system sends a command to the terminal to replenish the food, facilitating timely replenishment. The quantitative feeding amount of the adjustable quantitative feeding assembly can be adjusted according to the duck production status, which is beneficial for practical use.

The annular groove 8 is connected to a sewage discharge component 6. When sewage is discharged, the sewage discharge component 6 is opened, and when feeding, the sewage discharge component 6 seals the bottom of the annular groove 8. The adjustable drive assembly 5 includes a water spray assembly, a serrated spreading assembly, and an adjustable serrated assembly. The fixed end of the serrated spreading assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the conical distributing assembly 4. The bottom and sidewalls of the serrated drive end of the serrated spreading assembly are slidably connected to the annular groove 8. The serrated drive end of the serrated spreading assembly is fixedly connected to the adjustable serrated assembly. The serrated drive end of the adjustable serrated assembly moves up and down in front of the serrated drive end of the serrated spreading assembly. When the serrated drive end of the adjustable serrated assembly coincides with the serrated drive end of the serrated spreading assembly, the adjustable serrated assembly... The serrated drive end of the serrated component is located in front of the serrated groove of the serrated drive end of the serrated averaging component. The serrated groove of the serrated drive end of the adjustable serrated component is located in front of the serrated drive end of the serrated drive end of the serrated averaging component.

The water spray assembly, the serrated spreading assembly, the adjustable serrated assembly, and the adjustable quantitative feeding assembly 3 are all electrically connected to the control system; When feeding or watering, the control system shuts off the wastewater discharge component 6, allowing food to be deposited into the storage bin 1. The control system then controls the adjustable quantitative feeding component 3 to dispense the food in a measured quantity. The food dispensed by the adjustable quantitative feeding component 3 is evenly distributed into the annular trough 8 via the conical distributing component 4. The control system then controls the serrated drive end of the adjustable serrated component 5 to move, adjusting it to be misaligned with the serrated drive end of the serrated spreading component. The serrated spreading component rotates along the annular trough 8, raking the food within it, ensuring even distribution and preventing food accumulation. This promotes uniform feeding for the ducks, avoids competition for food, and facilitates balanced growth, preventing uneven development. When watering is needed, the control system controls the water spray component of the adjustable drive component 5 to add water to the annular trough 8 for convenient drinking water replenishment. During cleaning, the control system opens the sewage discharge component 6 and moves the serrated drive end of the adjustable serrated component until it coincides with the serrated drive end of the serrated spreading component. The serrated spreading component of the adjustable drive component 5 rotates, driving the adjustable serrated component and the water spraying component. The water spraying component sprays water, and the serrated drive ends of the rotating serrated spreading component and the adjustable serrated component rotate along the annular groove 8, scraping away the food residue and water adhering to the annular groove 8. The food residue and water are scraped to the sewage discharge component 6, where they are collected and processed, thus cleaning the annular groove 8. The adjustable quantitative feeding component 3 monitors the remaining food in the storage bin 1. When the remaining food is zero, the control system sends a command to the terminal to replenish the food, facilitating timely replenishment. The quantitative feeding amount of the adjustable quantitative feeding component 3 can be adjusted according to the duck production status, which is beneficial for practical use.

[0023] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1-6 10. The adjustable quantitative feeding component 3 includes a guiding weighing component, a first straight pipe 31, a first motor 32, a circular cylinder 34, an adjustable storage component, and a second straight pipe 33.

The driving end of the first motor 32 is fixedly connected to the adjustable storage component. The adjustable storage component is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular cylinder 34. The bottom of the circular cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the second straight pipe 33.

[0024] The material guiding weighing assembly includes a first horizontal plate 35, a gravity sensor 36, and a third straight tube 313. The top of the third straight tube 313 is fixedly connected to the first horizontal plate 35, and both ends of the first horizontal plate 35 are fixedly connected to the sensing ends of the gravity sensor 36. The gravity sensor 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 1. The inner wall of the third straight tube 313 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first straight tube 31. The bottom of the third straight tube 313 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylindrical cylinder 34.

[0025] The adjustable storage assembly includes a handwheel 37, a threaded rod 38, a threaded sleeve 310, a rotating column 312, a first movable baffle 314, and a movable plate 315. The outer wall of the rotating column 312 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical cylinder 34. The rotating column 312 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 32. A transverse hole 311 coaxial with the rotating column 312 is provided at the middle of the rotating column 312. Four sets of straight grooves 39 are equally spaced along the circumference on the outer wall of the transverse hole 311 of the rotating column 312. The inner wall of the straight grooves 39 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first movable baffle 314. Two sets of movable plates 315 are rotatably connected to the end near the transverse hole 311.

When adjusting the quantitative feeding amount, rotate the handwheel 37 of the adjustable storage component of the adjustable quantitative feeding component 3. The handwheel 37 drives the threaded rod 38 to rotate. Under the action of the movable plate 315, the threaded rod 38 drives the threaded sleeve 310 to move along the threaded rod 38. The threaded sleeve 310 drives the movable plate 315 to move. The two sets of movable plates 315 connected by a set of first movable baffles 314 drive the first movable baffles 314 to slide in the straight groove 39 through the parallelogram principle. When the space between the end of the first movable baffle 314 away from the horizontal hole 311 and the end of the straight groove 39 away from the horizontal hole 311 meets the quantitative feeding amount, stop rotating the handwheel 37. The quantitative feeding amount of the adjustable quantitative feeding component 3 can be adjusted according to the duck production status, which is beneficial for practical use.

[0026] During quantitative feeding, the first motor 32 drives the rotating column 312 to rotate 90 degrees. The rotating column 312 rotates at equal angles, causing the empty straight groove 39 to rotate to below the third straight pipe 313. The food in the third straight pipe 313 falls into the empty straight groove 39. Then the rotating column 312 continues to rotate, turning the straight groove 39 containing food toward the second straight pipe 33. The quantitative amount of food in the straight groove 39 is discharged through the second straight pipe 33, thus achieving quantitative feeding.

[0027] When the data monitored by the gravity sensor 36 of the material guide weighing component does not change when the first motor 32 rotates, it indicates that the remaining food in the storage box 1 is zero. When the control system receives that the remaining food is zero, the control system sends an instruction to the terminal to replenish the food so that it can be replenished in a timely manner.
