Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a livestock salt replenishment device for livestock farming, belonging to the field of livestock farming technology. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, salt supplementation for cattle and sheep is mostly achieved through licking blocks. Licking blocks are feeds made by scientifically formulating and processing the salt and other nutrients required by cattle and sheep into blocks for them to lick. They are cylindrical, rectangular, or square in shape and are designed and produced based on the licking habits of ruminants. They can significantly improve the health of cattle and sheep, accelerate growth, and increase economic benefits. Existing salt supplementation devices for cattle and sheep, such as the one disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116406626A, include a livestock fence, controller, and salt supply system. This device allows for the full reuse of existing licking blocks, making the quantity of licking blocks more rational and increasing the licking range, thus benefiting different parts of the enclosure. Licking can supplement the salt intake of livestock of all body sizes. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN117918265A discloses a livestock salt supplementation device, which includes a salt storage box, a crushed salt storage tank, a salt discharge pipe, and a salt trough. This structure can solve the problem that when feeding powdered salt, it is impossible to control the amount of feed according to the weight of the livestock in real time, and it is suitable for supplementing the salt intake of livestock in livestock farming. However, when using powdered salt for direct supply, the amount of salt supply fluctuates little due to changes in the weight of the livestock, making it impossible to accurately control the amount of salt supplied, which can easily lead to excessive salt intake. In addition, when supplying salt through licking bricks, the salt bricks have a high compression density, and the salt is dissolved on the surface of the salt bricks by licking force and saliva, resulting in a small amount of salt absorption. The licking bricks need to be licked multiple times, which cannot improve the turnover rate of licking bricks in the livestock herd. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a livestock salt replenishment device that can assist livestock herds in replenishing salt efficiently and improve the turnover rate of licks in the livestock herd.

[0004] The livestock salt replenishment device of the present invention includes: The licking brick receiving unit includes a front cavity seat and a rear cavity seat, both of which are semi-circular cavities. The front cavity seat and the rear cavity seat are fixed together by a flange. The front cavity seat has a licking groove on its front side and a straight groove on its upper part. A partition is provided on the lower part of the inner side of the licking groove. A hanging seat is fixed on the rear outer side of the rear cavity seat and is fixed inside the breeding farm. Guide bearings are provided at both ends of the front side of the rear cavity seat. The atomizing unit includes an atomizing tube fixed to the top of the front cavity seat, an atomizing nozzle on the atomizing tube, and the atomizing nozzle being embedded inside a straight groove; the atomizing tube is connected to a water source via a pump unit. The brick-licking unit includes a main shaft and multiple brick-licking bodies. A prism-shaped perforation is opened at the center of each brick-licking body. A chuck is movably embedded inside the perforation. The main shaft and the chuck are rotatably mounted. A chuck limiting pin is screwed to the end of the main shaft. The brick-licking unit also includes a brick-licking resetter. The brick-licking friction unit includes an adjusting plate hinged to the upper inner side of the licking groove, a brick-licking friction head at the bottom of the adjusting plate, an adjusting bolt screwed onto the adjusting plate, and a first tension spring at both ends of the adjusting plate and outside the front cavity seat.

[0005] Before using the livestock salt replenishment device, the first tension spring forcefully presses the adjusting plate against the surface of the licking brick. Then, by adjusting the adjusting bolt according to the current outer diameter of the licking brick, the friction between the licking brick friction head and the licking brick can be adjusted. This ensures that when the livestock licks the licking brick, the licking brick can rotate smoothly while the friction head scrapes against its surface. When replenishing salt, the livestock licks the surface of the licking brick, and the licking force drives the licking brick forward. The licking brick rotates, causing it to pass through the licking brick friction head and enter the atomization unit. Then, the pump unit operates, sending water into the atomization pipe and atomizing it through the atomization nozzle. The atomized liquid adheres to the surface of the licking brick. The water source can be a light salt water tank, and the atomized liquid is light salt water, achieving dual salt replenishment from both the licking brick and the light salt water. When the surface of the licking brick loses its licking force, the licking brick resetter drives the licking brick to reset, allowing the area on the licking brick surface that was scraped and adhered to with light salt water to enter the licking area of ​​the livestock.

[0006] Furthermore, the chuck component includes a swing frame, with a retaining ring integrally formed on the middle of the swing frame. A groove is formed in the center of the retaining ring, through which the main shaft moves. A retaining head also moves through the main shaft, engaging with the groove and the through hole. Adjacent retaining heads move in close contact. The licking brick resetter includes a first stop and a second stop hinged to the bottom and middle of the inner wall of the rear cavity seat. A second tension spring is attached to each end of the first and second stops. The other end of the second tension spring is attached to the inner wall of the rear cavity seat. In use, the retaining ring on the swing frame can rotate freely along the main shaft. When the swing frame rotates, the licking brick rotates synchronously. The swing angle of the swing frame is limited by the first and second stops, allowing the licking brick to rotate within a set angle. When livestock lick the licking brick, the friction generated by the licking overcomes the gravity of the swing frame, allowing the licking brick to rotate into the atomization zone. Before licking, the licking brick surface is grooved by a friction head, and atomized liquid is distributed into the grooves through the atomizing zone. When the licking force disappears, the licking brick returns to its original position, and the surface of the licking brick and the grooves that absorb the atomized liquid enter the licking zone, waiting to be licked again. When licking again, livestock lick the surface of the licking brick, directly obtaining the deliquescent salts on the surface of the licking brick and the salts in the atomized liquid. When it is necessary to change the licking zone of the licking brick, the partition is opened, the swing frame is flipped up, and the top and bottom of the swing frame are swapped. When the swing frame rotates and changes direction, the top of the swing frame approaches the first and second stops, the second tension spring is stretched, and the first and second stops are pushed by the swing frame to swing, allowing the swing frame to pass smoothly through the first and second stops. After the swing frame passes through the first and second stops, the first and second stops return to their original positions. At this time, the upper and lower positions of the swing frame are swapped. Finally, the partition is closed again.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple proximity switches are fixedly fitted on the first stop at intervals. The proximity switches are positioned opposite the swing frame. The proximity switches can detect whether the licking brick is being licked. When it is licked, they can trigger the corresponding atomizing nozzle to apply atomized liquid to the target licking brick.

[0008] Furthermore, a counterweight is provided on the downward-facing frame of the swing frame. The counterweight is clamped, attracted, or hung on the swing frame. When livestock lick the brick, the brick rotates upward, causing it to be scraped and atomized. When the licking force on the surface of the brick is lost, the counterweight can add weight to the swing frame, allowing the brick to rotate back to its original position.

[0009] Furthermore, the chuck component includes an outer chuck that engages with the perforation, a rotating disk that is rotatably arranged inside the outer chuck, an electromagnet that magnetically engages with the outer chuck is fixed inside the rotating disk, and the center of the rotating disk is fitted and fixed to the main shaft; an isolation disk is arranged between adjacent brick-licking bodies, and the center of the isolation disk is fitted and fixed to the main shaft; the brick-licking resetter includes a follower disk fitted and fixed to one end of the main shaft, the follower disk having multiple swing grooves spaced apart circumferentially, a swing key hinged inside the swing groove, and a spring body arranged between the swing key and the swing groove; a shifting motor is fixed to the end of the main shaft away from the isolation disk.

[0010] When livestock lick a specific licking block (from the moment the proximity switch detects the signal until it loses its signal), the corresponding chuck for that licking block activates. The electromagnet electromagnetically engages the rotating disk and the outer chuck. At this point, the main shaft, rotating disk, and outer chuck form a single unit. The shifting motor drives the main shaft to rotate. As the main shaft rotates, it synchronously drives the follower disk and the engaged chuck to rotate as well. When the corresponding licking block passes the adjusting plate, the licking block friction head scrapes its surface. During scraping, the swing key on the follower disk elastically abuts against the adjusting plate, ensuring the friction head is tightly pressed against the licking block surface, improving the scraping effect. As the main shaft continues to rotate, the licking block enters the inner side of the adjusting plate. Simultaneously, the swing key is activated by the adjusting plate... The bottom is pressed together, and the spring body is compressed, allowing the swing key to smoothly enter the inner side of the adjusting plate. After the licking brick passes through the adjusting plate, the atomizing unit is activated, and the pump group sends water to the atomizing nozzle, which then applies the atomized liquid to the outer surface of the licking brick. After the licking brick absorbs the atomized liquid, the pump group stops, and the main shaft rotates in the opposite direction. At this time, the swing key flips the outer top of the adjusting plate upward, allowing the licking brick surface to pass through the adjusting plate without contact, preventing the scraping of the licking brick surface and the atomized liquid from being scraped off by the adjusting plate. The scraped and atomized areas of the licking brick enter the licking area, waiting for the livestock to lick it. The chuck and the licking brick resetter work together to change the licking surface of the licking brick. If a certain licking surface reaches a certain number of licks, the licking surface of the licking brick can be adjusted.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of proximity switches are fitted and fixed on the lower front side of the angle adjustment plate, and the proximity switches are directly opposite the axial center of the licking brick; when the livestock is about to lick a certain licking brick, the livestock approaches the corresponding proximity switch, the proximity switch is triggered, thereby controlling the corresponding licking brick to perform atomization and scraping operations.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple sets of atomizing nozzles are provided, with each atomizing nozzle positioned directly opposite the licking brick body. A solenoid valve group is provided between the atomizing tube and the atomizing nozzle. When the livestock triggers the proximity switch, the controller of the whole machine obtains the position of the triggered proximity switch and opens the solenoid valve group associated with the corresponding proximity switch, thereby enabling the corresponding atomizing nozzle to start the atomizing mode and causing the atomized liquid to adhere to the surface of the licking brick body.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the adjusting plate is a sloping structure, and the licking brick friction head is a row of scraping teeth integrally formed on the bottom of the adjusting plate or a wire mesh plate fixed to the bottom of the adjusting plate. The scraping teeth can scrape the surface of the licking brick to form grooves, and the wire mesh plate forms material residue by hanging grooves on the surface of the licking brick. The material residue can be moistened and adhered to the outer surface of the licking brick by the atomized liquid. After the atomized liquid enters the groove, it can increase the contact area between the atomized liquid and the licking brick. When livestock lick the surface of the licking brick, they can lick the atomized liquid containing salt.

[0014] Furthermore, a rubber plate is attached between the partition and the licking brick body. The rubber plate can prevent slag from entering the inside of the licking brick receiving unit. At the same time, the rubber plate reduces the reset rate of the licking brick body and increases the amount of atomization on the surface of the licking brick body. When the licking brick resetter is an electric structure, the rubber plate can act as a temporary brake. When there is no power intervention, the rubber plate can limit the position of the licking brick body.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the livestock feed trough. When the lick brick debris falls, the debris is guided into the inner side of the livestock feed trough through the partition, which facilitates the replenishment of salt for the livestock during feeding.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the livestock salt replenishment device of the present invention utilizes the licking force of livestock to rotate the licking brick upward. When the licking brick rotates, the licking brick friction head scrapes the surface of the licking brick, causing the surface of the licking brick to be scraped up or form scratches. Then the licking brick enters the atomization zone for surface atomization. The surface of the licking brick absorbs moisture and deliquesces. The licking brick reset device returns the moisture-absorbing area to the licking zone. Livestock can obtain sufficient salt with one lick, which can help the livestock herd replenish salt efficiently and improve the turnover rate of licking bricks in the livestock herd.

[0033] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 10 The livestock salt replenishment device shown includes: The licking brick receiving unit includes a front cavity seat 1 and a rear cavity seat 2, both of which are semi-circular cavities. The front cavity seat 1 and the rear cavity seat 2 are fixed together by a flange. The front cavity seat 1 has a licking groove 3 on its front side and a straight groove on its upper part. A partition 4 is provided on the lower inner side of the licking groove 3. A hanging seat 5 is fixed on the rear outer side of the rear cavity seat 2 and is fixed inside the breeding farm. Guide bearings are provided at both ends of the front side of the rear cavity seat 2. The atomizing unit includes an atomizing tube 6 fixed to the top of the front cavity seat 1, and an atomizing nozzle 7 is provided on the atomizing tube 6. The atomizing nozzle 7 is embedded in the inner side of the straight groove. The atomizing tube 6 is connected to a water source through a pump set. The brick-licking unit includes a main shaft and multiple brick-licking bodies 8. A prism-shaped through hole 9 is opened at the center of each brick-licking body 8. A chuck component is movably embedded inside the through hole 9. The main shaft 10 is rotatably mounted with the chuck component. A chuck limiting pin 11 is screwed to the end of the main shaft 10. The brick-licking unit also includes a brick-licking resetter. The brick-licking friction unit includes an adjusting plate 12 hinged to the upper inner side of the licking groove 3, a brick-licking friction head 13 at the bottom of the adjusting plate 12, an adjusting bolt 14 screwed onto the adjusting plate 12, and a first tension spring 15 at both ends of the adjusting plate 12 and outside the front cavity seat 1.

[0034] Before using the livestock salt replenishment device, the first tension spring 15 forces the adjusting plate 12 against the surface of the licking brick 8. Then, the adjusting bolt 14 is adjusted according to the current outer diameter of the licking brick 8, thereby adjusting the friction between the licking brick friction head 13 and the licking brick 8. This ensures that when livestock lick the licking brick 8, the licking brick 8 can rotate smoothly while the licking brick friction head 13 scrapes the surface of the licking brick 8. When replenishing salt, the livestock lick the surface of the licking brick 8, and the licking brick 8 is licked. Driven by force, the licking brick 8 rotates, causing it to pass through the licking brick friction head 13 and enter the atomization unit. Then, the pump unit operates, sending water into the atomization pipe 6, which is then atomized through the atomization nozzle 7. The atomized liquid adheres to the surface of the licking brick 8. The water source can be a light salt water tank, and the atomized liquid is light salt water, achieving dual salt replenishment for the licking brick 8 and the light salt water. When the surface of the licking brick 8 loses its licking force, the licking brick resetter drives the licking brick 8 to reset, allowing the area on the surface of the licking brick 8 that was scraped and attached with light salt water to enter the licking area of ​​the livestock.

[0035] The chuck component includes a swing frame 16, with a retaining ring 17 integrally formed in the center of the swing frame 16. A groove 18 is formed in the center of the retaining ring 17, through which the main shaft 10 moves. A retaining head 19 also moves through the main shaft 10, engaging with the groove 18 and the through hole 9. Adjacent retaining heads 19 are in movable contact. The brick-licking reset device includes a first stop 20 and a second stop 21 hinged to the bottom inner side and the middle inner wall of the rear cavity seat 2. The first stop 20 and the second stop 21 are respectively hung at their ends. A second tension spring 22 is connected; the other end of the second tension spring 22 is attached to the inner wall of the rear cavity seat 2; in use, the retaining ring 17 on the swing frame 16 can rotate freely along the main shaft 10. When the swing frame 16 rotates, the licking brick 8 can rotate synchronously. The swing angle of the swing frame 16 is limited by the first stop 20 and the second stop 21, so that the licking brick 8 can rotate within the set angle. When livestock lick the licking brick 8, the friction generated by licking overcomes the gravity of the swing frame 16, so that the licking brick 8 can rotate into the atomization zone. Before entering the atomization zone, the licking brick body 8 is grooved by the licking brick friction head 13, and atomized liquid is distributed into the grooves through the atomization zone. When the licking force disappears, the licking brick body 8 returns to its original position, and the surface of the licking brick body 8 and the grooves that absorb the atomized liquid enter the licking zone, waiting to be licked again. When licking again, the livestock licks the surface of the licking brick body 8, and can directly obtain the deliquescent salts on the surface of the licking brick body 8 and the salts in the atomized liquid. When it is necessary to replace the licking zone of the licking brick body 8, the partition 4 is opened, the swing frame 16 is flipped up, and the top of the swing frame 16 is tilted upwards. When the top and bottom are swapped and the swing frame 16 rotates to change direction, the top of the swing frame 16 approaches the first stop 20 and the second stop 21, the second tension spring 22 is stretched, and the first stop 20 and the second stop 21 are pushed by the swing frame 16 to swing, so that the swing frame 16 can pass smoothly through the first stop 20 and the second stop 21. After the swing frame 16 passes through the first stop 20 and the second stop 21, the first stop 20 and the second stop 21 are reset. At this time, the upper and lower positions of the swing frame 16 are swapped. Finally, the partition 4 is closed again.

[0036] Multiple proximity switches are fixedly fitted on the first stop 20 at intervals. The proximity switches are arranged opposite to the swing frame 16. The proximity switches can detect whether the licking brick 8 is being licked. When it is being licked, it can trigger the corresponding atomizing nozzle 7 to apply atomized liquid to the target licking brick 8.

[0037] A counterweight 23 is provided on the downward-facing frame of the swing frame 16. The counterweight 23 is clamped, attracted, or hung on the swing frame 16. When livestock lick the licking brick 8, the licking brick 8 rotates upward, causing the licking brick 8 to be scraped and atomized. When the licking force on the surface of the licking brick 8 is lost, the counterweight 23 can add weight to the swing frame 16, so that the licking brick 8 can rotate back to its original position.

[0038] Example 2: like Figures 11 to 15 The livestock salt replenishment device shown includes an outer chuck 24 that engages with a perforation 9. A rotating disk 25 is rotatably mounted inside the outer chuck 24. An electromagnet, a ring electromagnet, is magnetically attracted to the outer chuck 24 and fixed inside the rotating disk 25. The center of the rotating disk 25 is fitted and fixed to the main shaft 10. An isolation disk 26 is provided between adjacent licking brick bodies 8, and the center of the isolation disk 26 is fitted and fixed to the main shaft 10. The licking brick resetter includes a follower disk 27 fitted and fixed to one end of the main shaft 10. The follower disk 27 has multiple swing grooves spaced circumferentially. A swing key 29 is hinged to the inside of each swing groove. A spring body 30 is provided between the swing key 29 and the swing groove. A shifting motor 28 is fixed to the end of the main shaft 10 away from the isolation disk 26.

[0039] When livestock lick a specific licking block 8 (from the moment the proximity switch detects the signal until it loses the signal), the corresponding chuck component of the licking block 8 actuates. The electromagnet electromagnetically engages the rotating disk 25 with the outer chuck 24. At this time, the main shaft 10, rotating disk 25, and outer chuck 24 form a single unit. The shifting motor 28 drives the main shaft 10 to rotate. As the main shaft 10 rotates, it synchronously drives the follower disk 27 and the engaged chuck component to rotate as well. This causes the corresponding licking block 8 to pass through the adjusting plate 12, where the licking block friction head 13 scrapes the surface of the licking block 8. During scraping, the swing key 29 on the follower disk 27 elastically abuts against the adjusting plate 12, causing the licking block friction head 13 to press tightly against the surface of the licking block 8, improving the scraping effect. As the main shaft 10 continues to rotate, the licking block 8 enters the inner side of the adjusting plate 12. Simultaneously, the swing key 29... The movable key 29 is pressed against the bottom of the adjusting plate 12, and the spring body 30 is compressed, thus allowing the swing key 29 to smoothly enter the inner side of the adjusting plate 12. After the brick licking body 8 passes the adjusting plate 12, the atomizing unit is activated, and water is sent to the atomizing nozzle 7 through the pump set. The atomizing nozzle 7 then applies the atomized liquid to the outer surface of the brick licking body 8. After the brick licking body 8 absorbs the atomized liquid, the pump set stops, and the main shaft 10 rotates in the reverse direction. At this time, the swing key 29 is activated. Key 29 flips the outer top of the adjusting plate 12 upwards, so that the surface of the licking brick 8 passes through the adjusting plate 12 without contact, avoiding the scraping of slag and atomizing liquid on the surface of the licking brick 8 being scraped off by the adjusting plate 12. The scraped and atomized area of ​​the licking brick 8 enters the licking area, waiting for the livestock to lick it. The chuck and the licking brick resetter work together to change the licking surface of the licking brick. If a certain licking surface reaches a certain number of licks, the licking surface of the licking brick can be adjusted.

[0040] Multiple proximity switches are fitted and fixed to the lower front side of the angle adjustment plate 12. The proximity switches are directly opposite the axial center of the licking brick 8. When the livestock is about to lick a certain licking brick 8, the livestock approaches the corresponding proximity switch, which is triggered, thereby controlling the corresponding licking brick 8 to perform atomization and scraping operations.

[0041] Multiple sets of atomizing nozzles 7 are provided, and each atomizing nozzle 7 is positioned directly opposite the licking brick body 8. A solenoid valve group is provided between the atomizing tube 6 and the atomizing nozzle 7. When the livestock triggers the proximity switch, the controller of the whole machine obtains the position of the triggered proximity switch, and the controller opens the solenoid valve group associated with the corresponding proximity switch, thereby enabling the corresponding atomizing nozzle 7 to start the atomizing mode, so that the atomized liquid adheres to the surface of the licking brick body 8.

[0042] The bottom surface of the adjusting plate 12 is a sloping structure. The licking brick friction head 13 is a row of scraping teeth integrally formed on the bottom of the adjusting plate 12 or a wire mesh plate fixed to the bottom of the adjusting plate 12. The scraping teeth can scrape the surface of the licking brick 8 to form grooves. The wire mesh plate forms material residue by hanging grooves on the surface of the licking brick 8. The material residue can be absorbed by the atomized liquid and adhere to the outer surface of the licking brick 8. After the atomized liquid enters the groove, it can increase the contact area between the atomized liquid and the licking brick 8. When livestock lick the surface of the licking brick 8, they can lick the atomized liquid containing salt.

[0043] A rubber plate is attached between the partition plate 4 and the licking brick body 8. The rubber plate can prevent slag from entering the inside of the licking brick receiving unit. At the same time, the rubber plate reduces the reset rate of the licking brick body 8 and increases the amount of atomization on the surface of the licking brick body 8. When the licking brick resetter is an electric structure, the rubber plate can act as a temporary brake. When there is no power intervention, the position of the licking brick body 8 can be limited by the rubber plate.

[0044] The hanging seat 5 is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the livestock feed trough. When the lick brick 8 slag falls, the lick brick 8 slag is passed into the inner side of the livestock feed trough through the partition 4, which facilitates the replenishment of salt for the livestock during the feeding process.
