Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feeding technology, specifically to an automated feeding device for livestock farming with a feed recovery structure. Background Technology

[0002] A fishpond feeder is a specialized piece of equipment used for automated and precise feeding in aquaculture. Its core function is to evenly and quantitatively distribute granular or powdered feed to a designated water area through timed control and a spreading mechanism (such as a rotating disc, screw conveyor, or pneumatic jet), achieving large-area coverage.

[0003] During the feeding process, the feed in the hopper slides into the spray chamber, where a high-speed airflow generated by the blower propels the feed outward, thus achieving the feeding function. However, clumping of stored feed particles is inevitable. These clumped particles are larger and heavier, making it difficult for the high-speed airflow to move them, causing them to remain inside the spray chamber. Prolonged use of this equipment may lead to blockage of the spray chamber.

[0004] For example, in the prior art, the authorized announcement number CN217523635U discloses a fishpond feeding machine, which includes a chassis, a dropping hopper, a fan, a feeding device, and a discharging hopper; the chassis has a cavity, and the dropping hopper, fan, feeding device, and discharging hopper are all installed in the cavity.

[0005] If the feed clumps during the feeding process using the aforementioned feeder, these clumps will be difficult to discharge smoothly from the container. They will remain inside the container, and this situation will worsen over time. As the feeder is used for an extended period, the continuous accumulation of clumps inside the container will increase the risk of blockage, severely impacting the normal operation and efficiency of the feeder. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated feeding device with a feed recovery structure for livestock farming, in order to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated feeding device for livestock farming with a feed recycling structure, comprising a device shell, a positioning base fixedly installed at the bottom of the device shell, a top cover rotatably installed at the top of the device shell, a feed nozzle opened on the front surface of the device shell, a recycling box slidably installed at the bottom of the device shell, a feeding mechanism installed at the top of the device shell, the feeding mechanism comprising a hopper fixedly installed at the top of the device shell, a discharge port fixedly installed at the bottom of the hopper, a chute plate installed at the discharge port, a wedge block fixedly installed at the bottom of the chute plate, a feeding mechanism installed at the bottom of the device shell, and a driving component provided between the feeding mechanism and the feeding mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating shaft is rotatably installed at one end of the discharge port, a rotating hole is opened at one end of the chute plate, a partition is installed inside the equipment shell, a notch is opened on the partition plate, and a telescopic groove is provided below the partition plate.

[0009] Preferably, the chute plate is connected to the rotating shaft through a rotating hole, and the chute plate is rotatably installed below the discharge port via the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the recycling box is installed at the bottom of the equipment housing via a telescopic groove, and the upper end of the hopper is connected with bolts, and the hopper is fixedly installed at the upper end of the equipment housing by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a fan fixedly installed on the partition and a spraying cavity fixedly installed at the spraying nozzle. The rear end of the spraying cavity is fixedly installed at the air inlet, and an air supply pipe is connected inside the air inlet. A slag discharge port is opened at the bottom of the spraying cavity, and a bottom plate is installed inside the slag discharge port. The slag discharge port and the notch on the partition move up and down. A feeding chute is connected to the upper end of the spraying cavity.

[0012] Preferably, the base plate is connected to a hinge, and the base plate rotates the bottom of the injection cavity via the hinge.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the air supply pipe is connected to the air outlet of the fan, and the other end of the air supply pipe is connected to the injection chamber through the air inlet.

[0014] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a crossbeam fixedly installed inside the equipment housing. A worm and a worm wheel are rotatably mounted on a base fixedly installed at the middle position of the crossbeam, and the worm wheel and worm are meshed together. A servo motor is fixedly installed on the base, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly installed on one end of the worm. A movable shaft is fixedly installed on the worm wheel, and a drive frame is fixedly installed on the movable shaft. Mounting holes are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the drive frame. An upper roller is fixedly installed at the upper end of the drive frame, and a lower roller is fixedly installed at the lower end of the drive frame.

[0015] Preferably, a bearing is installed on the base, the movable shaft is rotatably mounted on the base via the bearing, a coupling is provided at the output end of the servo motor, and one end of the worm gear is fixedly mounted to the output end of the servo motor via the coupling.

[0016] Preferably, the drive frame is rotatably mounted inside the equipment housing via a movable shaft, and the upper roller is rotatably mounted below the slide plate via the drive frame, while the lower roller is rotatably mounted below the base plate via the drive frame.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this application, when the drive frame rotates counterclockwise, the upper roller disengages from below the chute plate, and the chute plate rotates downward and unfolds. Simultaneously, the lower roller rotates towards the discharge port, confining the bottom plate within the discharge port, thereby achieving a seal on the discharge port. After the chute plate rotates downward and unfolds, the feed in the hopper slides down the chute plate into the feeding chute and enters the spraying chamber along the feeding chute. After the feed enters the spraying chamber, the blower can be activated. The high-speed airflow generated by the blower will drive the feed in the spraying chamber to be sprayed out through the spray nozzle, thereby realizing automatic feed delivery into the pond.

[0018] 2. In this application, when the drive frame rotates clockwise, the upper roller rotates to the area below the chute plate and applies an upward force to the wedge-shaped block at the bottom of the chute plate, causing the chute plate to fit tightly against the bottom of the discharge port, thus sealing the discharge port and terminating the feeding process. Simultaneously, the lower roller rotates away from below the bottom plate, causing the obstruction below the bottom plate to disappear, and allowing the bottom plate to rotate and unfold. At this time, the clumped feed remaining in the spray cavity will be discharged through the slag discharge port, thereby preventing blockage of the spray cavity. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for an automated feeding device with a feed recovery structure for livestock farming, including a device shell 2, a positioning base 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the device shell 2, a top cover 1 rotatably installed at the top of the device shell 2, a spray nozzle 5 opened on the front surface of the device shell 2, a recovery box 4 slidably installed at the bottom of the device shell 2, a feeding mechanism 6 installed at the top of the device shell 2, a feeding mechanism 7 installed at the bottom of the device shell 2, and a driving component 8 provided between the feeding mechanism 7 and the feeding mechanism 6. The driving component 8 can adjust the position of the chute plate 603 and the bottom plate 707 so that the feeding mechanism 7 and the feeding mechanism 6 operate synchronously and automatically perform feeding. After feeding is completed, the clumps of feed remaining in the spray cavity 702 are discharged into the recovery box 4 through the slag discharge port 706 to avoid clogging of the spray cavity 702.

[0023] Example 1: As Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the drive assembly 8 includes a crossbeam 801 fixedly installed inside the equipment housing 2. A base 803 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the crossbeam 801, on which a worm 804 and a worm wheel 805 are rotatably mounted, and the worm wheel 805 meshes with the worm 804. A servo motor 808 is fixedly installed on the base 803, and the output end of the servo motor 808 is fixedly installed on one end of the worm 804. A movable shaft 806 is fixedly installed on the worm wheel 805, and a drive frame 807 is fixedly installed on the movable shaft 806. Mounting holes 802 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the drive frame 807. An upper roller 810 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the drive frame 807, and a lower roller 809 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the drive frame 807. A bearing is installed on the base 803, and the movable shaft 806 is rotatably mounted on the base 803 through the bearing. A coupling is provided at the output end of the servo motor 808, and one end of the worm 804 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 808 through the coupling.

[0024] Specifically, the servo motor 808 drives the worm gear 804 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 804 drives the worm wheel 805 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable shaft 806 to rotate. The rotation of the movable shaft 806 then drives the drive frame 807 to rotate within the equipment housing 2. When the drive frame 807 rotates within the equipment housing 2, it causes the upper roller 810 to move below the slide plate 603 and the lower roller 809 to move below the base plate 707, thereby adjusting the positions of the slide plate 603 and the base plate 707.

[0025] Example 2: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 6 includes a hopper 601 fixedly installed on the upper end of the equipment housing 2. A discharge port 602 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hopper 601. A chute plate 603 is installed at the discharge port 602. A wedge block 604 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the chute plate 603. A rotating shaft 606 is rotatably installed at one end of the discharge port 602. A rotating hole 605 is opened at one end of the chute plate 603. A partition plate 101 is installed inside the equipment housing 2. A notch 102 is opened on the partition plate 101. An expansion groove 103 is provided below the partition plate 101. The chute plate 603 is connected to the rotating shaft 606 through the rotating hole 605. The chute plate 603 is rotatably installed below the discharge port 602 through the rotating shaft 606.

[0026] Specifically, when the drive frame 807 rotates counterclockwise, the upper roller 810 moves away from below the chute plate 603, and then the chute plate 603 rotates downward and unfolds. At the same time, the lower roller 809 rotates towards the discharge port 706, confining the bottom plate 707 within the discharge port 706, thereby achieving a seal on the discharge port 706.

[0027] After the chute plate 603 rotates downward and unfolds, the feed in the hopper 601 slides down through the chute plate 603 into the feeding chute 701, and then enters the spray chamber 702 along the feeding chute 701. After the feed enters the spray chamber 702, the blower 705 can be started. The high-speed airflow generated by the blower 705 will drive the feed in the spray chamber 702 to be sprayed out through the spray nozzle 5, thereby automatically feeding the feed into the pond.

[0028] Example 3: Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the feeding mechanism 7 includes a fan 705 fixedly installed on the partition plate 101 and a spray cavity 702 fixedly installed at the spray nozzle 5. The rear end of the spray cavity 702 is fixedly installed at the air inlet 703. An air supply pipe 704 is connected inside the air inlet 703. A slag discharge port 706 is opened at the bottom of the spray cavity 702. A bottom plate 707 is installed inside the slag discharge port 706. The slag discharge port 706 and the notch 102 on the partition plate 101 move up and down. A feeding chute 701 is connected to the upper end of the spray cavity 702. A hinge 708 is connected to the bottom plate 707. The bottom plate 707 rotates the bottom of the spray cavity 702 through the hinge 708. One end of the air supply pipe 704 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 705. The other end of the air supply pipe 704 is connected to the spray cavity 702 through the air inlet 703.

[0029] Specifically, when the drive frame 807 rotates clockwise, the upper roller 810 rotates to the bottom of the slide plate 603 and applies an upward thrust to the wedge block 604 at the bottom of the slide plate 603, causing the slide plate 603 to press tightly against the bottom of the discharge port 602, blocking the discharge port 602 and thus stopping the feeding.

[0030] Simultaneously, the lower roller 809 rotates and moves away from under the bottom plate 707, removing any obstruction beneath it. The bottom plate 707 then rotates and unfolds, allowing the clumps of feed remaining in the spray cavity 702 to be discharged through the discharge port 706, preventing blockage of the spray cavity 702. The discharged clumps of feed eventually fall into the recycling box 4, where they are broken up before being reintroduced into the fishpond.

[0031] Working principle: During use, feed is stored in hopper 601, and the entire device is fixed to the edge of the pond. Servo motor 808 drives worm gear 804 to rotate, which in turn drives worm wheel 805 to rotate. Worm wheel 805 then drives movable shaft 806 to rotate, which in turn drives drive frame 807 to rotate within the device housing 2. As drive frame 807 rotates within the device housing 2, it causes upper roller 810 to move below slide plate 603 and lower roller 809 to move below bottom plate 707, thereby adjusting the position of slide plate 603 and bottom plate 707. When the drive frame 807 rotates counterclockwise, the upper roller 810 moves away from below the chute plate 603, and the chute plate 603 rotates downward and unfolds. Simultaneously, the lower roller 809 rotates towards the discharge port 706, confining the bottom plate 707 within the discharge port 706, thus sealing it. After the chute plate 603 rotates downward and unfolds, the feed in the hopper 601 slides down through the chute plate 603 into the feed chute 701, and then flows into the spray cavity 702 along the feed chute 701. After the feed enters the spray cavity 702, the blower 705 can be activated. The high-speed airflow generated by the blower 705 will drive the feed in the spray cavity 702 to be sprayed out through the spray nozzle 5, thus automatically feeding the pond. Some of the feed with relatively large clumps will remain in the spray cavity 702. After feeding is completed, the drive frame 807 can be rotated clockwise by the servo motor 808. When the drive frame 807 rotates clockwise, the upper roller 810 rotates to the bottom of the chute plate 603 and applies an upward thrust to the wedge block 604 at the bottom of the chute plate 603, so that the chute plate 603 is pressed against the bottom of the discharge port 602, blocking the discharge port 602 and stopping the feeding. At the same time, the lower roller 809 will rotate away from the bottom plate 707, so that the bottom of the bottom plate 707 is unobstructed. After the bottom of the bottom plate 707 is unobstructed, it will rotate and unfold, so that the clumped feed remaining in the spray cavity 702 can be discharged through the slag discharge port 706, avoiding the clogging of the spray cavity 702. The discharged clumped feed will eventually fall into the recycling box 4. After the clumped feed in the recycling box 4 is broken up, it can be put back into the fish pond.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
