Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically an automatic feeding device for dairy farming. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic feeding devices for dairy farming are core equipment in large-scale, standardized dairy farms. Their main function is to replace manual feeding and achieve precise feeding. When feeding calves and adult cattle with pelleted feed, calves need smaller pellets than adult cattle to facilitate digestion and absorption. However, existing automatic feeding devices for dairy farming cannot simultaneously meet the nutritional needs of dairy cows at different growth stages, thus reducing feeding efficiency. In addition, feed in the trough often needs to be added manually, increasing labor and equipment costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art. The automatic feeding device for dairy farming provided by this invention can meet the needs of calves and adult cattle for pelleted feed through an integrated device.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for dairy farming, comprising:

[0005] The support assembly includes two sets of support seats and a horizontal plate. The horizontal plate is installed between the tops of the two sets of support seats. The top of the support seat is provided with a feed hopper, and the granular raw material enters from the feed hopper.

[0006] The pellet crushing assembly includes a rotary motor, a rotary shaft, a crushing roller, and a crushing box. The feed hopper passes through the horizontal plate and is connected to the crushing box for feeding pellets. The rotary motor drives the crushing roller to rotate clockwise inside the crushing box via the rotary shaft. The crushing box is cylindrical. The crushing roller and the surface of the crushing box are equipped with main crushing teeth and secondary crushing teeth, which are evenly and alternately distributed. A first screen and a second screen are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom of the crushing box. The screen diameter of the first screen is 4mm, which is used to screen pellets smaller than 4mm for feeding calves. The screen of the second screen is larger than that of the first screen, which is used to feed adult cattle. The crushing roller rotates clockwise and passes through the first screen and then the second screen. The length of the first screen or the second screen can be adjusted according to the number of calves and adult cattle, thereby controlling the output ratio of the two different particle sizes. A storage box is installed at the bottom of the crushing box for storing pellets.

[0007] Preferably, a storage box is installed at the bottom of the crushing box. The storage box has a partition inside, which divides the storage box into a first storage box and a second storage box. The first storage box is connected to the output end of the first screen and is used to store granular material smaller than 4mm. The second storage box is connected to the output end of the second screen and is used to store granular material required for adult cattle.

[0008] Preferably, a first unloading hopper and a second unloading hopper are evenly installed at the bottom of the storage box. The bottom of the first unloading hopper is provided with a square discharge port. The first unloading hopper is connected to the first storage box, and the second unloading hopper is connected to the second storage box. The distance between adjacent first unloading hoppers and the distance between adjacent second unloading hoppers are equal to the length of the square discharge port.

[0009] Preferably, a feeding assembly is installed at the bottom of the storage bin. The feeding assembly includes a movable feeding hopper, a first feeding pipe, and a second feeding pipe. Through holes are opened on the surfaces of both sets of support bases, and feeding plates are inserted through the two sets of through holes. The feeding plates can block the discharge port. A first feeding trough and a second feeding trough are respectively opened at the center of the feeding plate. The cross-sections of the first feeding trough and the second feeding trough are the same as the cross-section of the square discharge port. The feeding plate is installed on the top of the movable feeding hopper, and the first feeding pipe and the second feeding pipe are installed at both ends of the movable feeding hopper. Since the distance between adjacent first discharge hoppers and the distance between adjacent second discharge hoppers are equal to the length of the square discharge port, it can be ensured that there is always granular material entering the first feeding trough and the second feeding trough.

[0010] Preferably, both the first and second discharge pipes are installed at an angle downwards. The top of the movable discharge hopper is provided with a third and a fourth discharge trough. The first discharge trough is connected to the third discharge trough and the first discharge pipe, and the second discharge trough is connected to the fourth discharge trough and the second discharge pipe, so that the granular material in the first and second storage boxes is discharged from the first and second discharge pipes respectively.

[0011] Preferably, a calf trough and an adult cattle trough are respectively installed on both sides of the support base. The calves and adult cattle feed in the calf trough and the adult cattle trough respectively. The adult cattle trough is higher than the calf trough. The calf trough and the adult cattle trough are respectively installed on the lower side of the first feed pipe and the second feed pipe. Support columns are installed at the bottom of the calf trough and the adult cattle trough. The support columns are used to support the calf trough and the adult cattle trough.

[0012] Preferably, a reciprocating motor is installed on one side of the support base, and a screw and a limiting rod are installed between the two sets of support bases. The screw and the limiting rod both pass through the bottom. The reciprocating motor drives the screw to rotate, causing the hopper to move back and forth on the limiting rod, thereby uniformly conveying the granular material to the calf trough and the adult cattle trough.

[0013] Preferably, the rotary motor is mounted at one end of the support base, a rotating cylinder is mounted at one end of the rotating shaft, the rotating cylinder is mounted on the surface of the support base, and the rotating shaft rotates around the rotating cylinder.

[0014] Beneficial Effects: This invention discloses an automatic feeding device for dairy cattle farming. The crushing roller rotates clockwise, passing through the first screen and then the second screen. The first storage box is connected to the output end of the first screen and is used to store granules smaller than 4mm. The reciprocating motor drives the screw to rotate, causing the feeding hopper to move back and forth on the limiting rod. Since the distance between adjacent first and second feeding hoppers is equal to the length of the square discharge port, it can be ensured that there is always granules entering the first and second feeding troughs. The granules in the first and second storage boxes are discharged from the first and second feeding pipes, thereby uniformly conveying the granules to the calf trough and adult cattle trough. This achieves integrated granule crushing and feeding, and meets the differentiated needs of calves and adult cattle for granules, uniformly distributing different granules to the calf trough and adult cattle trough.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following text is only used to describe an implementation method of an automatic feeding device for dairy farming of the present invention, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by the present invention.

[0024] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0025] Example 1: As Figures 1-5 As shown, this invention discloses an automatic feeding device for dairy farming, comprising:

[0026] Supporting components, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes two sets of support seats 1 and a horizontal plate 33. The horizontal plate 33 is installed between the tops of the two sets of support seats 1. The top of the support seat 1 is provided with a feed hopper 11, and the granular raw material enters from the feed hopper 11.

[0027] Particle crushing components, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the system includes a rotary motor 7, a rotary shaft 21, a crushing roller 22, and a crushing box 5. The feed hopper 11 passes through the horizontal plate 33 and is connected to the crushing box 5 for feeding granular materials. The rotary motor 7 drives the crushing roller 22 to rotate clockwise inside the crushing box 5 via the rotary shaft 21. The crushing box 5 is cylindrical. Main crushing teeth 30 and secondary crushing teeth 31 are installed on the surfaces of the crushing roller 22 and the crushing box 5. The main crushing teeth 30 and secondary crushing teeth 31 are evenly and alternately distributed. A first screen 23 and a second screen are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom of the crushing box 5. 24. The first screen 23 has a screen hole diameter of 4mm and is used to screen particles smaller than 4mm for feeding calves. The second screen 24 has a screen hole larger than that of the first screen 23 and is used to feed adult cattle. The crushing roller 22 rotates clockwise and passes through the first screen 23 and the second screen 24. The length of the first screen 23 or the second screen 24 can be adjusted according to the number of calves and adult cattle, thereby controlling the output ratio of the two different particle sizes. The bottom of the crushing box 5 is equipped with a storage box 6 for storing the particles.

[0028] In Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a storage box 6 is installed at the bottom of the crushing box 5. The storage box 6 has a partition 29 inside, which divides the storage box 6 into a first storage box 28 and a second storage box 27. The first storage box 28 is connected to the output end of the first screen 23 and is used to store granular material smaller than 4mm. The second storage box 27 is connected to the output end of the second screen 24 and is used to store granular material required for adult cattle.

[0029] In Example 1, as Figure 4 As shown, a first unloading hopper 26 and a second unloading hopper 25 are evenly installed at the bottom of the storage box 6. The bottom of the first unloading hopper 26 is provided with a square discharge port 32. The first unloading hopper 26 is connected to the first storage box 28, and the second unloading hopper 25 is connected to the second storage box 27. The distance between adjacent first unloading hoppers 26 and the distance between adjacent second unloading hoppers 25 are equal to the length of the square discharge port 32.

[0030] In Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotary motor 7 is installed at one end of the support base 1, and a rotating cylinder is installed at one end of the rotating shaft 21. The rotating cylinder is installed on the surface of the support base 1, and the rotating shaft 21 rotates around the rotating cylinder.

[0031] Example 2: A feeding assembly is installed at the bottom of the storage bin 6, such as... Figure 2 and 4As shown, the feeding assembly includes a movable feeding hopper 17, a first feeding pipe 16, and a second feeding pipe 15. Both sets of support bases 1 have through holes 9 on their surfaces, through which feeding plates 8 are inserted. The feeding plates 8 can block the discharge port 32. A first feeding trough 14 and a second feeding trough 13 are respectively formed at the center of the feeding plates 8. The cross-sections of the first feeding trough 14 and the second feeding trough 13 are the same as the cross-section of the square discharge port 32. The feeding plates 8 are installed on the top of the movable feeding hopper 17, and the first feeding pipe 16 and the second feeding pipe 15 are installed at both ends of the movable feeding hopper 17. Since the distance between adjacent first discharge hoppers 26 and adjacent second discharge hoppers 25 are equal to the length of the square discharge port 32, it can be ensured that granular material can always enter the first feeding trough 14 and the second feeding trough 13.

[0032] In Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, the first discharge pipe 16 and the second discharge pipe 15 are both installed at an angle downwards. The top of the movable discharge hopper 17 is provided with a third discharge trough 19 and a fourth discharge trough 18. The first discharge trough 14 is connected to the third discharge trough 19 and the first discharge pipe 16, and the second discharge trough 13 is connected to the fourth discharge trough 18 and the second discharge pipe 15, so that the granular material in the first storage box 28 and the second storage box 27 are discharged from the first discharge pipe 16 and the second discharge pipe 15 respectively.

[0033] In Example 2, as Figure 1 As shown, a calf trough 3 and an adult cattle trough 2 are respectively installed on both sides of the support base 1. Calves and adult cattle feed in the calf trough 3 and the adult cattle trough 2 respectively. The adult cattle trough 2 is higher than the calf trough 3. The calf trough 3 and the adult cattle trough 2 are respectively installed on the lower side of the first feed pipe 16 and the second feed pipe 15. Support columns 4 are installed at the bottom of the calf trough 3 and the adult cattle trough 2. The support columns 4 are used to support the calf trough 3 and the adult cattle trough 2.

[0034] In Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, a reciprocating motor 10 is installed on one side of the support base 1, and a screw 12 and a limiting rod 20 are installed between the two sets of support bases 1. The screw 12 and the limiting rod 20 both pass through the bottom. The reciprocating motor 10 drives the screw 12 to rotate and drive the hopper to move back and forth on the limiting rod 20, thereby uniformly conveying the granular material to the calf trough 3 and the adult cattle trough 2.

[0035] In use, the granular raw material enters the crushing roller 22 from the feed hopper 11. The crushing roller 22, along with the main crushing teeth 30 and secondary crushing teeth 31 on the surface of the crushing box 5, crushes the granular raw material. The crushing roller 22 rotates clockwise, passing through the first screen 23 and then the second screen 24. The first storage box 28, connected to the output end of the first screen 23, is used to store granules smaller than 4mm. The second storage box 27, connected to the output end of the second screen 24, is used to store the granules required for adult cattle. The reciprocating motor 10 drives the screw 12 to rotate, causing the feed hopper to reciprocate on the limiting rod 20. Since the distance between adjacent first discharge hoppers 26 and adjacent second discharge hoppers 25 is equal to the length of the square discharge port 32, it can be ensured that there is always granular material entering the first discharge trough 14 and the second discharge trough 13. The granular material in the first storage box 28 and the second storage box 27 is discharged from the first discharge pipe 16 and the second discharge pipe 15, thereby uniformly conveying the granular material to the calf trough 3 and the adult cattle trough 2. This realizes the integration of granular material crushing and feeding, and meets the differentiated needs of calves and adult cattle for granular material, uniformly feeding different granular materials into the calf trough 3 and the adult cattle trough 2.

[0036] The above description only describes the present invention and its embodiments. This description is not restrictive. Those skilled in the art will realize that the embodiments described herein are to help readers understand the principles of the present invention and should be understood as not limiting the scope of protection of the present invention to such specific statements and embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various other specific modifications and combinations without departing from the essence of the present invention based on the technical teachings disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications and combinations are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
