Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal husbandry, and more particularly to an auxiliary feeding device for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] In cattle and sheep farming, the scientific ratio of roughage to concentrate is the key to ensuring healthy rumen digestion and improving farming efficiency. A reasonable ratio of roughage to concentrate can balance the fermentation rhythm of rumen microorganisms and avoid acidosis caused by excessive concentrate. Therefore, precise feed formulation is one of the core requirements of large-scale farming.

[0003] Currently, in the livestock industry, the ratio of roughage to concentrate for cattle and sheep is mostly controlled manually based on experience. Some simple feeding devices can only deliver a single type of feed. Even devices with a ratio function mostly deliver feed in a fixed ratio, which cannot flexibly adjust the ratio of roughage to concentrate according to the growth stage and feeding conditions of cattle and sheep, resulting in poor adaptability.

[0004] However, the core problem with existing feed formulation and feeding methods is that it is difficult to conveniently and accurately adjust the ratio of roughage to concentrate. Manual adjustment has large errors and low efficiency. Fixed-ratio feeding devices cannot adapt to the feeding needs of cattle and sheep at different growth stages. Improper formulation can easily affect the digestion, absorption and growth of cattle and sheep. Therefore, an auxiliary feeding device for livestock breeding is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod, and a pointed cone is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 An alkali replenishment mechanism 5 is provided on the inner side of the frame 2. The alkali replenishment mechanism 5 includes a support plate 51. The two ends of the support plate 51 are fixedly connected to the right side of the storage tank 31 and the inner wall of the frame 2, respectively, to support the replenishment tank 52. The top of the support plate 51 is fixedly connected to the replenishment tank 52 for storing sodium bicarbonate solution. The back of the replenishment tank 52 is connected to a replenishment pipe 53 to facilitate the delivery of sodium bicarbonate solution to the feed trough 1 for alkali replenishment of cattle and sheep. A solenoid valve 54 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the replenishment pipe 53 to control the opening and closing of the replenishment pipe 53. An acid-base detector 55 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed trough 1, and the probe of the acid-base detector 55 penetrates through the bottom of the feed trough 1 to detect the acid-base value in the feed trough 1. The acid-base detector 55 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 54. The number of solenoid valves 54 and acid-base detectors 55 is equal, and they are set accordingly.

[0025] Working principle: The movable plate 36 is inserted into the first slot 34 of the fixed cylinder 32 and the second slot 35 of the storage tank 31. The insertion position of the movable plate 36 is adjusted according to feeding requirements. Through the cooperation of the partition plate 33 and the movable plate 36, the interior of the storage tank 31 is divided into two independent storage spaces of different volumes, which are used to store roughage and concentrate respectively. After adjustment, the fixing pin 37 is inserted into the fixing hole on the outer wall of the storage tank 31 and inserted into the movable plate 36 to complete the fixing of the movable plate 36, realizing the preset adjustment of the roughage and concentrate feeding ratio. The motor 38 is turned on. The output end of the 8-axis drives the rotating rod 39 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 310 on the outer wall to rotate synchronously. The discharge hole 311 at the top of the rotating disk 310 rotates synchronously with the rotating disk 310. When the discharge hole 311 rotates to the area below the coarse and fine material storage area in the storage tank 31, the coarse and fine materials fall through the discharge hole 311. The falling coarse and fine materials are conveyed to the feed trough 1 through the discharge pipe at the bottom of the storage tank 31. The control valve on the outer wall of the discharge pipe can directly control the opening and closing of the discharge channel. At the same time as the rotating rod 39 rotates, it drives the fixing rod 313 on the outer wall to rotate synchronously. The fixing rod 313 carries... The stirring rod 314 at the bottom of the rotating rod rotates at high speed, fully mixing the coarse and fine feed during the falling process of the feed pipe. After the coarse and fine feed are evenly mixed, the mixture falls into the feeding trough 1 to complete the feeding. When the rotating rod 39 rotates, it drives the internal movable rod 42, connecting rod 43 and striking head 44 to rotate synchronously. When the striking head 44 rotates to the arc plate 46, the arc plate 46 squeezes the striking head 44, causing the striking head 44 to move downward. The connecting rod 43 moves downward synchronously along the movable groove on the outer wall of the rotating rod 39, and the movable rod 42 moves along the inner cavity of the rotating rod 39. 41 slides down and compresses the spring 45. After the striking head 44 rotates past the arc plate 46, the elastic restoring force of the spring 45 drives the movable rod 42 to move up, thereby driving the striking head 44 to reset. During the reciprocating up and down movement, the striking head 44 strikes the bottom of the rotating disk 310 to prevent the feed hole 311 from being blocked. At the same time, the movable rod 42 moves down and drives the sliding rod and the pointed cone 47 to move down synchronously. The pointed cone 47 reciprocates to pierce the feed pipe to further prevent the feed pipe from being blocked. The acid and alkalinity detector 55 at the bottom of the feed trough 1 detects the acid and alkalinity of the feed in the feed trough 1 in real time.

[0026] Cattle and sheep are ruminants that rely on rumen microorganisms to ferment and digest their feed. During rumen fermentation, concentrates produce a large amount of organic acids. If the feed in trough 1 is generally acidic, the rumen acidity will rise sharply and the pH value will drop after the cattle and sheep consume it, leading to rumen acidosis and problems such as non-rumination, non-feeding, and digestive disorders. Therefore, it is necessary to neutralize the acidic feed to maintain a suitable pH level. When the acidity of the feed is detected to be excessive, the acid-base detector 55 sends a signal to the solenoid valve 54 on the outer wall of the replenishment pipe 53. Upon receiving a signal, the solenoid valve 54 automatically opens, and the baking soda solution in the replenishment tank 52 is delivered to the feed trough 1 through the replenishment pipe 53 to neutralize the acidic feed. When the acid-base detector 55 detects that the acidity or alkalinity of the feed in the feed trough 1 has returned to the normal range, the solenoid valve 54 automatically closes, and the replenishment pipe 53 stops delivering the baking soda solution. The corresponding setting of several acid-base detectors 55 and solenoid valves 54 can realize precise alkali replenishment in different areas of the feed trough 1, ensuring that the acidity or alkalinity of the feed is within the appropriate range.
