Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for sheepfolds. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of large-scale development of sheep farming, the efficiency and accuracy of feed delivery have become the core factors determining the economic benefits of farming and the growth quality of sheep. In the operation of feeding sheep in sheep sheds, both manual feeding and traditional simple automatic feeding devices have significant defects, which restrict the efficiency of farming and the growth benefits of sheep.
[0003] In sheep pen feeding operations, manual feeding is still the mainstream method for small and medium-sized farms. However, this model has exposed unavoidable defects after the scale of breeding expands. During breeding, a large number of sheep need to be fed at the same time, and a large amount of feed needs to be put in. During feeding, blockages are easy to occur, affecting the feed delivery. At the same time, residual feed in the feeding trough can breed mold and bacteria. The feeding device is not easy to disassemble and clean, and the operation is troublesome. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to provide an automatic feeding device for sheep sheds.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic feeding device for sheep pens includes a support base, a support frame mounted on the support base, a feeding box fixedly connected to the support frame, a placement rack mounted on the support frame, a feeding basin placed inside the placement rack, a feeding box mounted on the feeding box, a discharge chamber opened inside the feeding box, two feeding rollers installed inside the discharge chamber, a shaking plate mounted at the bottom of the feeding box, a pressure plate fixedly connected to the feeding rollers, the top surface of the pressure plate abutting against the shaking plate, and a displacement cavity formed between the shaking plate and the discharge chamber.
[0007] To assist in feeding, preferably, the feeding box has a storage cavity inside, a blower box is installed on the side of the feeding box, an air outlet assembly is installed on the blower box, the air outlet assembly is obliquely downward toward the discharge end of the storage cavity that communicates with the feeding box, and an air jet valve is installed at the connection between the air outlet assembly and the storage cavity, and multiple discharge ports are opened on the discharge roller.
[0008] To ensure stable up-and-down vibration of the shaking plate, preferably, a spring is installed inside the displacement cavity, with the upper end of the spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the shaking plate and the lower end of the spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the displacement cavity.
[0009] To limit the displacement direction and ensure vibration stability, preferably, the shaking plate has a guide hole in the center, and a guide post is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the displacement cavity. The guide post works in conjunction with the guide hole.
[0010] For continuous air supply, preferably, the material shaking plate has a guide hole in its center, the feeding box has an air box, the air box has a sliding cavity, the sliding cavity has a piston rod, the top of the piston rod is fixedly connected to a piston plate, a return spring is sleeved on the piston rod, one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the piston plate, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the connection between the sliding cavity and the outside, a one-way air inlet valve is installed at the connection between the sliding cavity and the outside, the air box has an air collecting cavity, and a one-way air outlet valve is installed at the connection between the sliding cavity and the air collecting cavity.
[0011] To allow air to escape from the air collection chamber, preferably, the feeding box has a flow chamber inside, which is connected to the air collection chamber. The air collection chamber has multiple flow ports, and multiple air jet pipes are installed in the air collection chamber through the flow ports.
[0012] In order to enable the gears and the feeding rollers to rotate in tandem, preferably, a drive motor is installed on the right side of the air box, and a gear one is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The gear one meshes with a gear two, and the gear two meshes with a gear three. A cam is fixedly connected to the gear three.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic feeding device for sheep pens, which has the following beneficial effects: the pressure plate and the shaking plate work together to perform periodic vibration. When the pressure plate rotates synchronously with the feeding roller, it will periodically squeeze the shaking plate. Combined with the restoring force of the spring in the displacement cavity, the shaking plate forms a stable up and down vibration, which can quickly shake the feed falling on the plate to avoid local accumulation. Combined with the airflow of the bellows, it can effectively prevent feed from clumping and clogging. The individual feeding basin can be quickly removed, which is convenient for cleaning and prevents feed residue from becoming moldy. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] Reference Figure 1-7 An automatic feeding device for sheep pens includes a support base 1, on which a support frame 101 is vertically welded. The top of the support frame 101 is fixedly connected to a feeding box 3 by bolts. The top of the feeding box 3 is bolted to a feeding bin 2 for storing pelleted feed or dry powder feed. A bellows 4 is welded to the right side inside the feeding box 3. A drive motor 5 is fixedly installed on the right side of the feeding box 3. A slider 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding box 3. A placement rack 102 has a sliding groove 103 on its top. The placement rack 102 is slidably installed on the feeding box 3 through the cooperation of the sliding groove 103 and the slider 104. A feeding basin 6 is movable inside the placement rack 102.
[0025] The feeding box 2 has a storage chamber 201 inside. The right side wall of the feeding box 2 is fixed with a blower box 202 by bolts. The blower box 202 has an air outlet pipe assembly 203 welded to the side facing the storage chamber 201. The air outlet pipe assembly 203 is inclined downward toward the discharge end of the storage chamber 201 that is connected to the feeding box 3. Air jet valves 204 electromagnetic control valves are installed at the connection between the air outlet pipe assembly 203 and the storage chamber 201, which can control the opening frequency and prevent the feed from clumping and blocking at the bottom of the storage chamber 201.
[0026] The feeding box 3 has a discharge chamber 301. Two parallel feeding rollers 302 are horizontally installed in the discharge chamber 301. The feeding rollers 302 have feeding ports 303 evenly distributed around their circumference. The feeding rollers can be rotated to achieve quantitative feeding. The open end of the feeding rollers 302 penetrates the inner wall of the feeding box 3 and is connected to the storage chamber 201. The air valve 204 faces the opening of the feeding rollers 302, and the auxiliary feed is sprayed into the feeding rollers 302.
[0027] A pressure plate 304 is welded to one end of the feeding roller 302 near the shaking plate 305. The shaking plate 305 is installed at the bottom of the feeding box 3, and the top surface of the pressure plate 304 abuts against the surface of the shaking plate 305. A displacement cavity 306 is formed between the shaking plate 305 and the bottom of the discharge cavity 301. A spring 307 is installed in the displacement cavity 306 to provide a reset force. A guide hole 308 is opened in the center of the shaking plate 305. A guide post 309 is vertically welded to the center of the bottom of the displacement cavity 306. The guide post 309 and the guide hole 308 work together to ensure that the shaking plate 305 moves only in the vertical direction.
[0028] The bellows 4 has a sliding cavity 401 inside, and a piston rod 402 is sealed and installed inside the sliding cavity 401. A piston plate 403 is welded to the top of the piston rod 402. A return spring 404 is sleeved on the piston rod 402. The bottom of the sliding cavity 401 has an air hole that communicates with the outside. A one-way air inlet valve 405 is installed in the air hole. The bellows 4 also has an air collecting cavity 407 inside. The sliding cavity 401 and the air collecting cavity 407 are connected by a conduit. A one-way air outlet valve 406 is installed in the conduit. The feeding box 3 has a flow cavity 408 inside. The air collecting cavity 407 has a flow port on the side facing the discharge cavity 301. Each flow port is connected to an air jet pipe 409. The end of the air jet pipe 409 faces the gap between the feeding roller 302 and the shaking plate 305.
[0029] The output end of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to gear 1 501, gear 1 501 meshes with gear 2 502, gear 2 502 meshes with gear 3 503, and gear 3 503 is fixedly connected to cam 504. The wheel surface of cam 504 abuts against the end of piston rod 402 extending out of sliding cavity 401. When cam 504 rotates, its structure can push piston rod 402 to reciprocate along sliding cavity 401. At the same time, gear 1 501 and cam 504 are fixedly connected to one end of two feeding rollers 302 respectively, driving feeding rollers 302 to rotate and ensuring that feed falls evenly. The other end of feeding roller 302 is aligned with the discharge port at the bottom of storage cavity 201 to ensure that feed in storage cavity 201 can enter feeding port 303.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] Reference Figure 1-7 An automatic feeding device for sheep sheds is basically the same as in Example 1, but with a further improvement: when the device is in use, the operator adds feed into the storage chamber 201 of the feeding box 2, the jet valve 204 provides continuous airflow, and the airflow generated by the air box 202 blows the airflow through the air outlet assembly 203 toward the inner wall of the storage chamber 201 to prevent the feed from sticking together.
[0032] When the drive motor 5 is started, gear 1 501 drives gear 2 502 and gear 3 503 to rotate, which in turn causes the two feeding rollers 302 and cam 504 to rotate synchronously. When the feeding roller 302 rotates, the feed in the storage chamber 201 falls into the feeding port 303. As the roller rotates to the bottom, the feed falls from the feeding port 303 onto the shaking plate 305. When the feeding roller 302 rotates, the pressure plate 304 periodically squeezes the shaking plate 305. Combined with the elasticity of the spring 307, the shaking plate 305 vibrates up and down, quickly shaking the feed that falls on the plate to prevent the feed from accumulating on the shaking plate 305 and allowing it to fall smoothly into the feeding basin 6 below.
[0033] When the cam 504 rotates, it pushes the piston rod 402 to reciprocate in the sliding chamber 401. When the piston rod 402 moves downward, the one-way air inlet valve 405 opens, and outside air enters the sliding chamber 401. When the piston rod 402 moves upward, the one-way air outlet valve 406 opens, and the air in the sliding chamber 401 is forced into the air collection chamber 407 and ejected through the jet pipe 409, blowing towards the gap between the feed discharge roller 302 and the shaking plate 305, dispersing any feed that may clump together and further preventing feed blockage.
[0034] Once the feed in the feeding basin 6 reaches the preset amount, the drive motor 5 is turned off, and the device stops working.
[0035] After feeding, hold the curved handle of the feeding bowl 6 and pull it out along the slide 103 of the placement rack 102. After taking it out, rinse the inner wall with clean water, drain the water after cleaning, and put it back into the placement rack 102. Open the top cover of the feeding box 2 every week and use a soft brush to clean the feed residue on the inner wall of the storage cavity 201 to prevent mold.
[0036] The pressure plate 304 and the shaking plate 305 work together to create periodic vibrations. When the pressure plate 304 rotates synchronously with the feeding roller 302, it will periodically squeeze the shaking plate 305. Combined with the restoring force of the spring 307 in the displacement cavity 306, the shaking plate 305 forms a stable up-and-down vibration, which can quickly shake the feed falling on the plate and avoid local accumulation. Combined with the airflow of the bellows 4, it can effectively prevent feed from clumping, accumulating and blocking. The separate feeding basin 6 can be quickly removed, which is convenient for cleaning and prevents feed residue from becoming moldy.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
