Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of broiler farming technology, and in particular to a feed trough for broiler farming. Background Technology

[0002] In modern broiler farming, scientific and efficient feeding management is a key link to ensure the healthy growth of broilers, improve the slaughter rate and farming efficiency. Among them, the way feed is supplied directly affects the uniformity of broiler feeding, growth rate and the overall hygiene of the farming environment. In order to meet the synchronous feeding needs of large-scale broiler flocks and avoid stress response or uneven individual development caused by competition for food, farms generally use longer feeding troughs to increase feeding sites, so that more broilers can eat at the same time, thereby reducing crowding and competition.

[0003] Currently, most common linear feeding troughs are long and narrow, arranged longitudinally along the chicken house, and are usually made of metal or plastic. They have a certain storage capacity. However, in actual use, these feeding troughs have obvious drawbacks: First, because the feeding troughs are long, feed is usually poured manually section by section along the trough. This method not only consumes a lot of manpower and increases the labor intensity of the feeders, but is also inefficient and difficult to meet the requirements of modern, large-scale farms for automation and high-efficiency operations. Second, feed is often put in from one end of the feeding trough or from a few fixed points, causing feed to appear first in the area near the feeding point, which quickly attracts a large number of broilers to gather and compete for food. This phenomenon of "congestion at the front and emptiness at the back" not only undermines the original intention of setting up long troughs to achieve uniform feeding, but also easily causes stress and trampling among the chickens, and even causes weaker individuals to not eat enough, affecting the overall growth uniformity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a feed trough for broiler farming, which can solve the problems of existing feed troughs, which not only consume a lot of manpower and are inefficient when feeding, but also often start feeding from one end of the feed trough or a few fixed points, causing a large number of broilers to gather and compete for food in the area near the feeding point, thereby causing stress and trampling incidents among the chickens, and even causing weak individuals to not eat enough.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: a feed trough for broiler farming, comprising a storage frame and a loading frame, with the loading frame symmetrically connected to the side of the storage frame. It also includes an electric push rod, a baffle, a guide mechanism, a feed hopper, a lid, a translation mechanism, a connecting cylinder, a distribution frame, and a rotating mechanism. The electric push rod is symmetrically arranged on the side of the storage frame, and a baffle is connected to the telescopic rod of the electric push rod. The baffle is used to block the space between the storage frame and the loading frame. A guide mechanism is provided on the storage frame, and a feed hopper is provided on the guide mechanism. The guide mechanism is used to guide the feed hopper. A lid is provided on the feed frame. A translation mechanism is provided on the storage frame, and the translation mechanism is used to drive the feed hopper to translate. A connecting cylinder is connected to the bottom of the feed hopper, and discharge holes are symmetrically opened on the connecting cylinder. A distribution frame is rotatably arranged inside the connecting cylinder. A rotating mechanism is provided inside the storage frame, and the rotating mechanism is used to drive the distribution frame to rotate.

[0006] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes guide rails and a slide plate. Guide rails are symmetrically installed on the top of the storage box, and a slide plate is slidably arranged between the two guide rails. The material bucket is installed on the slide plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the translation mechanism includes a lead screw motor and a first threaded tube. The lead screw motor is installed on the storage frame, and the first threaded tube is provided on the material bucket. The first threaded tube is threadedly connected to the lead screw of the lead screw motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a threaded rod and a second threaded tube. The threaded rod is installed inside the storage frame, and the second threaded tube is connected to the distribution frame. The second threaded tube is rotatably connected to the connecting cylinder, and the second threaded tube is threadedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a rain-shielding mechanism, which includes a shielding frame, connecting blocks, a fabric rolling shaft, a spring, and a rain-shielding film. The shielding frame is installed on the top of the storage frame, and the connecting blocks are symmetrically arranged on the material bucket. The fabric rolling shaft is symmetrically rotatably arranged on the connecting blocks. The spring is arranged between the fabric rolling shaft and the connecting blocks. The rain-shielding film is connected between the fabric rolling shaft and the shielding frame. The rain-shielding film is used to shield the storage frame and the loading frame.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting frame and a connecting pipe. The connecting frame is provided on the side of the loading frame, and the connecting frame is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a guide frame, which is installed on the side of the material bucket to guide the flow of rainwater.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a barrier plate, with a barrier plate installed on the top of the storage box to prevent broilers from flying into the storage box.

[0013] The beneficial effects are: 1. By setting up a feed hopper, a translation mechanism, and a feeding distribution structure, the present invention can automatically allow the feed in the feed hopper to fall into the storage frame. Subsequently, by removing the obstruction of the baffle, the feed can slide simultaneously to the feeding frames on both sides through the isosceles inclined plane structure, realizing synchronous feeding. This operation not only eliminates the need for manual feeding along the trough section by section, significantly reducing the labor intensity of the feeder, improving feeding efficiency and automation level, but also effectively solves the problem of "congestion at the front and emptiness at the back" caused by traditional feeding troughs, reduces stress and trampling accidents caused by fighting for food, ensures normal feeding of weak individuals, and improves the overall growth uniformity of the flock.

[0014] 2. This invention, by incorporating a rain-shielding mechanism, can effectively shield the storage and loading frames in rainy weather, preventing rainwater from entering and causing the feed to become damp, spoil, or lose nutrients. At the same time, the cooperation between the spring and the cloth-rolling shaft can automatically adjust the tension of the rain-shielding film to adapt to the length changes during the translation of the feed bucket, ensuring that the rain-shielding film is always in a taut state, preventing both slack failure and excessive stretching damage, thus improving the stability and durability of the rain-shielding system.

[0015] 3. By setting a connecting frame on the side of the feeding frame and connecting it to an external connecting pipe, the present invention can deliver clean water to the connecting frame for broiler chickens to drink, realizing the integration of "feeding" and "water supply" functions, simplifying the layout of chicken house equipment and facilitating feeding management.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example: A feed trough for broiler chicken farming, see below. Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a storage frame 1 and a loading frame 2; the inner bottom of the storage frame 1 is an isosceles inclined plane with a higher middle and lower sides; the loading frame 2 is symmetrically connected to the storage frame 1 at the front and back; it also includes an electric push rod 3, a baffle 4, a guide mechanism, a material bucket 6, a bucket cover 7, a translation mechanism, a connecting cylinder 9, a distributing frame 11, and a rotating mechanism; the electric push rod 3 is symmetrically arranged at the front and back of the storage frame 1, and the electric push rod 3 is located above the loading frame 2; the baffle 4 is symmetrically slidably arranged at the front and back of the storage frame 1, and the baffle 4 is located between the electric push rod 3 and the loading frame 2, and the telescopic rods of the two electric push rods 3 are respectively connected to the two baffles 4, which are used for... A barrier is provided between the storage frame 1 and the loading frame 2; a guide mechanism is provided on the storage frame 1, and a material bucket 6 is provided on the guide mechanism to guide the material bucket 6; a bucket lid 7 is placed on the top of the material bucket 6; a translation mechanism is provided on the storage frame 1 to drive the material bucket 6 to translate; a connecting cylinder 9 is connected to the bottom of the material bucket 6; discharge holes 10 are symmetrically opened at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 9; a material distribution frame 11 is rotatably arranged inside the connecting cylinder 9, and four material distribution slots are evenly spaced on the material distribution frame 11; a rotating mechanism is provided inside the storage frame 1 to drive the material distribution frame 11 to rotate.

[0029] See Figure 3 As shown, the guiding mechanism includes a guide rail 501 and a slide plate 502; the top of the storage box 1 is symmetrically equipped with guide rails 501; the slide plate 502 is slidably arranged between the two guide rails 501, and the material bucket 6 is installed on the slide plate 502.

[0030] See Figures 3-5As shown, the translation mechanism includes a lead screw motor 801 and a first threaded tube 802; the lead screw motor 801 is installed on the upper side of the storage frame 1; the first threaded tube 802 is provided on the lower side of the material bucket 6, and the first threaded tube 802 is threadedly connected to the lead screw of the lead screw motor 801. The lead screw motor 801 drives the first threaded tube 802 to translate, which enables the first threaded tube 802 to drive the material bucket 6 to translate.

[0031] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating mechanism includes a threaded rod 1201 and a second threaded tube 1202; the threaded rod 1201 is provided inside the storage frame 1; the second threaded tube 1202 is provided in the middle of the distribution frame 11. The second threaded tube 1202 rotates through the left and right sides of the connecting cylinder 9. The second threaded tube 1202 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 1201. The connecting cylinder 9 moves along with the material bucket 6, which enables the connecting cylinder 9 to drive the second threaded tube 1202 to move on the threaded rod 1201. Due to the threaded fit, the second threaded tube 1202 rotates during the movement, thereby driving the distribution frame 11 to rotate synchronously.

[0032] In use, first lift the lid 7, then pour an appropriate amount of feed into the feed hopper 6, allowing the feed in the feed hopper 6 to fall into the connecting cylinder 9, thus placing the feed into the distributing trough on the distributing frame 11. Then, replace the lid 7, and drive the first threaded tube 802 to move left and right once via the screw motor 801. When the first threaded tube 802 moves to the left, it will drive the feed hopper 6, the sliding plate 502, the connecting cylinder 9, the distributing frame 11, and the second threaded tube 1202 to move to the left. During this process, due to the threaded engagement between the second threaded tube 1202 and the threaded rod 1201, the second threaded tube 12... 02 During the movement, rotation occurs, causing the distribution frame 11 to rotate synchronously. This, in turn, causes the distribution frame 11 to rotate the feed in the distribution trough, and the feed in the feed bucket 6 continuously falls into the next distribution trough of the distribution frame 11. When the feed in the distribution trough aligns with the discharge hole 10 on the front side of the bottom of the connecting cylinder 9, the feed in the distribution trough will fall out through the discharge hole 10, causing the feed to fall into the front side of the bottom of the storage frame 1 and be blocked by the baffle 4. When the first threaded tube 802 moves to the right and resets, the first threaded tube 802 will drive the feed bucket 6, the sliding plate 502, the connecting cylinder 9, the distribution frame 11, and the second threaded tube 12. 02. Move to the right to reset. During this process, due to the threaded engagement between the second threaded tube 1202 and the threaded rod 1201, the second threaded tube 1202 will reverse during the movement, thereby causing the feed distribution frame 11 to reverse synchronously. This, in turn, causes the feed distribution frame 11 to reverse the feed in the feed distribution trough, and the feed in the feed bucket 6 continuously falls into the next feed distribution trough of the feed distribution frame 11. When the feed in the feed distribution trough is aligned with the discharge hole 10 on the rear side of the bottom of the connecting cylinder 9, the feed in the feed distribution trough will fall out through the discharge hole 10, causing the feed to fall into the rear side of the bottom of the storage frame 1 and be blocked by the baffle 4; wait for the screw motor 801 to drive. After the first threaded tube 802 completes one left-right reciprocating movement, the electric push rod 3 drives the baffle 4 to move upward, so that the baffle 4 no longer obstructs the space between the storage frame 1 and the loading frame 2. This allows the feed in the storage frame 1 to slide out through the isosceles inclined plane at the bottom of the inner side and slide out to both sides simultaneously, so that the feed in the storage frame 1 falls into the loading frame 2. Then, the feed in the loading frame 2 can be used to attract the broilers to eat. After all the feed in the storage frame 1 has fallen into the loading frame 2, the electric push rod 3 drives the baffle 4 to move downward and reset, so that the baffle 4 can obstruct the space between the storage frame 1 and the loading frame 2 again.

[0033] See Figures 7-9As shown, it also includes a rain-shielding mechanism, which includes a shielding frame 13, a connecting block 14, a fabric rolling shaft 15, a spring 16, and a rain-shielding film 17. The shielding frame 13 is installed between the left and right sides of the top of the storage frame 1. The shielding frame 13 slides through the material bucket 6, and the top of the shielding frame 13 is an isosceles inclined plane with a high center and low sides. The connecting block 14 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the material bucket 6. The fabric rolling shaft 15 is symmetrically rotated on the connecting block 14. One end of the spring 16 is connected to the side of the connecting block 14, and the other end of the spring 16 is connected to the fabric rolling shaft 15. The rain-shielding film 17 is wound on the fabric rolling shaft 15. One end of the rain-shielding film 17 is connected to the fabric rolling shaft 15, and the other end of the rain-shielding film 17 is connected to the shielding frame 13. The rain-shielding film 17 is used to shield the storage frame 1 and the loading frame 2.

[0034] In the initial state, the spring 16 is in a deformed state. The elasticity of the spring 16 applies torque to the roll shaft 15, which tightens the rainproof film 17, prevents the rainproof film 17 from loosening, and ensures that the rainproof film 17 can function properly. By setting up a rain-shielding mechanism, the rain-shielding film 17 and the shielding frame 13 can be used to shield the storage frame 1 and the loading frame 2, preventing rainwater from falling into the storage frame 1 and the loading frame 2, and avoiding the loss or spoilage of feed nutrients caused by rainwater; when the feed hopper 6 moves to the left or right, the feed hopper 6 will drive the connecting block 14 and the cloth winding shaft 15 to move to the left or right. When the two ends of the rain-shielding film 17 on the cloth winding shaft 15 gradually approach each other, under the elastic force of the spring 16, the spring 16 will drive the cloth winding shaft 15 to rotate, so that the cloth winding shaft 15 can shield the rain-shielding film 17. The rainproof film 17 is tightened by winding it up to stabilize its tension. As the two ends of the rainproof film 17 on the roll shaft 15 gradually move away from each other, the rainproof film 17 will drive the roll shaft 15 to reverse, causing the roll shaft 15 to unwind the rainproof film 17. The spring 16 continues to deform to stabilize the tension of the rainproof film 17. In this way, the tension of the rainproof film 17 can be adaptively adjusted by the setting of the spring 16 and the roll shaft 15, preventing the rainproof film 17 from being too loose and affecting its normal shielding function, and also preventing it from being too tight and causing damage.

[0035] See Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a connecting frame 18 and a connecting pipe 19; a connecting frame 18 is provided on the side of each of the two loading frames 2 that is far apart from each other; a connecting pipe 19 is connected to the right side of the storage frame 1, and the right sides of both connecting frames 18 are connected to the connecting pipe 19.

[0036] By setting up the connecting frame 18 and the connecting pipe 19, the connecting pipe 19 can be connected to the water supply pipe during use. When it is necessary to provide clean water to the broilers, the clean water can be sent into the connecting frame 18 through the connecting pipe 19, so that the broilers can drink the clean water in the connecting frame 18. In this way, it is convenient for the breeder to provide clean water to the broilers.

[0037] See Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a guide frame 20; the guide frame 20 is provided on the lower part of the outer side of the material bucket 6, and the top of the guide frame 20 is an isosceles slope with a high middle and low sides, so that the top of the guide frame 20 can be used to guide the flow of rainwater.

[0038] By setting up the guide frame 20, the isosceles inclined plane at the top of the guide frame 20 can be used to guide the flow of rainwater, preventing rainwater from falling directly into the loading frame 2, and also preventing rainwater from falling onto the slide plate 502 and flowing into the storage frame 1.

[0039] See Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a barrier plate 21; the top of the storage frame 1 is provided with a barrier plate 21, which is used to prevent broilers from flying into the storage frame 1.

[0040] By setting up the barrier plate 21, the broilers can be prevented from flying into the storage box 1, thus avoiding the broilers getting stuck in the storage box 1 and affecting the movement of the feed bucket 6 and the connecting cylinder 9.
