Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of poultry farming technology, and in particular to a traveling feeder for large-scale poultry farming. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale poultry farming, tiered chicken houses have become the mainstream type of poultry shed due to their ability to fully utilize vertical space, increase stocking density, and facilitate tiered management of chickens. They are widely used in large-scale broiler and layer chicken farming. Given the structural characteristics of tiered chicken houses, existing poultry feeding equipment is mainly used to automate feeding of the flock. The basic workflow is as follows: a moving frame drives the feed hopper along a track, delivering feed through a discharge structure into the feed troughs on each level of the tiered chicken house. While this type of equipment has replaced manual feeding to some extent and improved farming efficiency, its adaptability, stability, and efficiency are still limited by its structural design and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, intensive farming.

[0003] Specifically, existing poultry feeding equipment for tiered chicken houses has the following drawbacks in practical application, seriously affecting breeding efficiency, increasing labor costs, and failing to guarantee the uniformity of feed intake and the cleanliness of the breeding environment. Specifically: First, existing equipment generally uses separate and independent feeding and cleaning equipment, resulting in feeding and cleaning operations not being able to be carried out simultaneously. Feeding requires separate operation of the feeding equipment, and cleaning requires separate operation of the cleaning equipment. Furthermore, management personnel need to travel back and forth between both sides of the tiered chicken house to observe the uniformity of feeding and the cleanliness, which is not only cumbersome but also requires more manpower, leading to high labor costs. Second, the guide rail connection structure for the movement of the feeding equipment and the cleaning equipment is imperfect. Each feeding and cleaning device is independently set in a predetermined position, making it impossible to arrange multiple sets of feeding equipment for feeding and multiple sets of cleaning equipment for unloading. The equipment has poor flexibility and adaptability, making it difficult to meet the batch operation needs of large-scale tiered chicken houses. Third, there is a lack of effective feed and waste distribution structures. There are no interconnected feed distribution components between the feed bins of adjacent feeding equipment. Due to external factors such as the rate tolerance of the equipment's feeding, feed is easily unevenly distributed within the bins, leading to insufficient feed in some bins and feed accumulation in others, affecting the uniformity of feed intake and consequently impacting the consistency of flock growth. Similarly, there is no waste diversion structure between the collection bins of adjacent cleaning equipment. When a single collection bin is full of waste, excess waste cannot be promptly diverted to adjacent empty collection bins, resulting in waste accumulation and affecting cleaning efficiency. Fourth, the unloading structure is simply designed. Existing equipment mostly uses gravity unloading, which makes feed prone to accumulating and clumping at the unloading pipe outlet, failing to distribute evenly. This leads to uneven feed intake among the flock, with some chickens overfeeding and others underfeeding, affecting the quality of breeding. Fifth, the adaptability and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment are poor. Most existing cleaning scrapers are rigidly connected and cannot adapt to the uneven surface of the feed troughs in tiered chicken houses, easily leaving cleaning dead corners during cleaning; the side scrapers have a fixed angle and cannot adapt to the edges of feed troughs with different inclination angles, making it difficult to thoroughly clean the residual waste in the corners of the feed troughs; moreover, the cleaning process relies solely on scraping the material with scrapers, lacking the coordination of cleaning liquid spraying and brush washing, so stubborn residues on the surface of the feed troughs cannot be completely removed, and long-term accumulation can easily breed bacteria, affecting the hygiene and safety of the chicken farming environment. Therefore, this invention proposes a traveling feeder for large-scale poultry farming to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a trolley-type feeding device for large-scale poultry farming. This trolley-type feeding device places the feed bin and collection bin on both sides of the tiered chicken house, respectively. With the help of equally spaced ground rails, the moving lifting frame can drive both bins to move smoothly along the ground rails, achieving simultaneous feeding and cleaning. Managers can stand in the middle aisle of the tiered chicken house to simultaneously observe the feeding situation on both sides, as well as the cleaning effect and waste collection status, without having to travel back and forth to inspect and control the situation. This effectively reduces the workload of managers, lowers manpower input, and solves the problem of traditional equipment requiring dedicated personnel to manage feeding and cleaning, resulting in high manpower consumption.

[0005] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a traveling feeder for large-scale poultry farming, comprising a ground rail, a moving lifting frame, and a gear ring. The ground rail is provided in multiple sets at equal intervals, with adjacent sets of the ground rail located on both sides of a stepped chicken house. The moving lifting frame is movably positioned above the ground rail. The gear ring is rotatably positioned above two adjacent sets of the lifting frame. Lifting rods are provided on both sides above the gear ring, and the output end of the lifting rod is provided with a guide rail. An adjusting cylinder is provided on the outer side of the lifting rod, and a compensation rail adapted to the guide rail is provided on the adjusting cylinder.

[0006] The guide rail is equipped with a feed bin and a collection bin, which are respectively located on both sides of the tiered chicken house. Below the feed bin are several sets of unloading pipes with lifting function, which are used to feed the feed troughs of the tiered chicken house. Below the collection bin are several sets of cleaning pipes with lifting function, and below the cleaning pipes are cleaning components for cleaning the feed troughs of the tiered chicken house.

[0007] Further improvements include: multiple sets of guide rails are connected with compensation rails for the movement of the feeding bins and collection bins; side rails are provided on both sides at one end of the overall equipment, which are used to connect with the guide rails and compensation rails at one end in conjunction with the rotation of the gear ring, so that the multiple sets of feeding bins can be arranged to feed food and the multiple sets of collection bins can be arranged to unload waste.

[0008] A further improvement is made in that: lifting arms are provided on both sides of the hopper, and a motor is provided above the lifting arms. The output end of the motor is provided with a spiral blade shaft, which extends to the inside of the discharge pipe. A dispersing ring is provided rotatably below the outside of the discharge pipe, and a dispersing head is provided outside the dispersing ring. The inside of the dispersing ring is provided with internal teeth. A gear is provided below the outside of the discharge pipe through a motor, and the gear is adapted to the internal teeth.

[0009] A further improvement is that: an auger is provided on one side of the hopper, and a material distribution pipe is provided above the auger on one side, so that the material distribution pipe can be used to evenly distribute the feed between two adjacent hoppers.

[0010] A further improvement is that the cleaning component includes a first bracket and a second bracket, which are respectively located on both sides below the cleaning tube. A rear plate is installed on the rear side of the first bracket by a spring. A scraper is connected to the lower part of the rear plate, and side scrapers are rotatably provided at both ends of the scraper. A suction pipe connected to the cleaning tube is provided on the front side of the first bracket, and a suction pump located inside the collection chamber is connected to the upper end of the cleaning tube.

[0011] A further improvement is made in that: a rotating head is provided below the second bracket, and bristles are provided below the rotating head; a nozzle is provided below the cleaning pipe at the position between the first and second brackets, and a spray hole is provided at the bottom of the nozzle; a liquid pump is provided above the second bracket, and the output end of the liquid pump is connected to the nozzle; a liquid tank is provided on one side of the collection chamber, and a conduit is connected between the input end of the liquid pump and the liquid tank.

[0012] A further improvement is that a material leveling head is provided on one side above the collection bin, and a negative pressure pump is provided at the connection between the material leveling head and the collection bin. The top of the collection bin at one side of the material leveling head is provided with a receiving port that matches the bottom outlet of the material leveling head. Waste is evenly distributed between two adjacent sets of collection bins through the material leveling head and the receiving port.

[0013] A further improvement is that: both sides of the hopper and the collection hopper are provided with support feet, and support wheels are rotatably provided on the lower inner side of the support feet, and the support wheels are adapted to the guide rail and the compensation rail.

[0014] A further improvement is that the motion lifting frame includes a base frame and an electric lifting rod. The electric lifting rod is located inside the base frame, and the output end of the electric lifting rod is connected to a bracket. The gear ring is supported above the bracket. A drive gear is rotatably provided on the outer side of the bracket, and the drive gear is adapted to the gear ring. A limit wheel is rotatably provided on the inner side of the bracket, and the limit wheel is limited to the outer side of the gear ring.

[0015] A further improvement is that a rotatable wheel is provided on the lower inner side of the base frame, and the rotatable wheel is adapted to the ground rail.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. This invention places the feed bin and collection bin on both sides of the tiered chicken house, respectively. With the help of equally spaced ground rails, the moving lifting frame can drive both bins to move smoothly along the ground rails, realizing simultaneous feeding and cleaning. During operation, one side of the feed bin moves with the moving lifting frame, delivering feed to the feeding troughs of each layer of the tiered chicken house through the unloading pipe; the other side of the collection bin moves simultaneously, driving the cleaning components to clean the residual waste in the feeding troughs through the cleaning pipe. There is no need for separate operation. Managers can stand in the middle passage of the tiered chicken house and simultaneously observe the feeding situation on both sides, as well as the cleaning effect and waste collection status. There is no need to travel back and forth to inspect and control both sides, which effectively reduces the workload of managers, reduces manpower input, and solves the problem of traditional equipment requiring dedicated personnel to manage feeding and cleaning, resulting in high manpower consumption. It improves the management efficiency and operational continuity of large-scale breeding and is suitable for the breeding needs of large-scale tiered chicken houses.

[0018] 2. This invention adjusts the height of the guide rails using a lifting rod, causing the feed bins and collection bins to rise and fall synchronously. This avoids interference between the gear ring and the two. When the feed bins and collection bins need to move between adjacent guide rails, the compensating rails on the outside of the lifting rods rise synchronously to fill the gaps between the guide rails. Combined with the support wheels under the support feet, this ensures smooth movement and prevents jamming or derailment. The rotation of the gear ring can drive the guide rails to turn. The side rails on both sides of one end of the equipment can precisely connect with the guide rails and compensating rails to form extended tracks. This allows for multiple sets of feed bins to be arranged for batch feeding, and multiple sets of collection bins to be arranged for centralized unloading and diversion of waste. This effectively improves the flexibility of equipment operation and is suitable for large-scale batch farming operations in tiered chicken houses, solving the problems of poor guide rail connection and inability to perform batch operations in traditional equipment.

[0019] 3. This invention features a feed equalization pipe installed between adjacent feed bins, working in conjunction with an auger inside the feed bins. When the auger operates, it drives the feed to flow evenly. When a feed bin is low on feed, feed from adjacent bins can be quickly transferred to the low-feed bin via the equalization pipe, achieving balanced feed distribution, preventing feed shortages or accumulation, ensuring uniform feeding for the flock, and improving breeding quality. A feed equalization head and receiving port are installed between adjacent collection bins, utilizing a negative pressure pump to provide suction. When a collection bin is about to fill, excess waste can be transferred through the feed equalization head to the receiving port of an adjacent empty bin, achieving waste diversion, preventing waste accumulation, ensuring continuous and smooth cleaning operations, protecting the hygiene and safety of the breeding environment, and solving the problems of uneven feed distribution and waste accumulation in traditional equipment.

[0020] 4. This invention features a dispersing ring rotating below the unloading pipe, with a dispersing head on its outer side and internal teeth on its inner side. A motor drives a gear below the unloading pipe, with the gear precisely matched to the internal teeth. During unloading, the motor above the lifting arm starts, driving the spiral blade shaft to rotate and smoothly transporting the feed in the hopper to the unloading pipe outlet, preventing blockage and clumping. Simultaneously, the motor drives the gear to rotate, causing the dispersing ring and dispersing head to rotate at a uniform speed, evenly dispersing the feed. This eliminates the problems of feed accumulation and uneven feeding caused by traditional gravity unloading, ensuring that each chicken has an even opportunity to eat. This reduces feed waste, ensures uniform growth of the flock, improves the economic benefits of large-scale farming, and solves the shortcomings of uneven unloading and serious feed waste in traditional methods.

[0021] 5. The cleaning component of this invention adopts an integrated design of scraping, spraying, and brushing, which is suitable for the complex structure of the tiered chicken coop feeder. During cleaning, the rear plate connected by a spring on the rear side of the first bracket drives the scraper to fit against the feeder. The elasticity of the spring allows the scraper to adapt to the concave and convex surfaces of the feeder, thoroughly scraping away most of the residual waste. The side scrapers at both ends of the scraper can rotate flexibly to adapt to different angles of the feeder, cleaning corner residues, and simultaneously sucking the waste into the collection bin through the suction pipe. After scraping, the liquid pump draws cleaning liquid from the liquid tank through the conduit and sprays it onto the surface of the feeder through the spray hole at the bottom of the nozzle to soften stubborn residues. Then, the head rotates, driving the brush bristles to rotate at high speed to thoroughly brush the feeder. The whole process is thorough and highly adaptable, avoiding cleaning dead corners and bacterial growth, reducing the risk of disease in the flock, and meeting the hygiene requirements of large-scale farming.

[0031] To enhance understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, this embodiment proposes a traveling feeder for large-scale poultry farming, including a ground rail 1, a moving lifting frame, and a toothed ring 2. The ground rail 1 is provided in multiple sets at equal intervals, and two adjacent sets of the ground rail 1 are located on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42. The moving lifting frame is movably positioned above the ground rail 1. The toothed ring 2 is rotatably positioned above two adjacent sets of the lifting frame. Lifting rods 3 are provided on both sides above the toothed ring 2, and the output end of the lifting rod 3 is provided with a guide rail 4. An adjusting cylinder 40 is provided on the outer side of the lifting rod 3, and a compensation rail 5 adapted to the guide rail 4 is provided on the adjusting cylinder 40.

[0034] The guide rail 4 is equipped with a feed bin 6 and a collection bin 7, which are respectively located on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42. Below the feed bin 6, there are several sets of unloading pipes 8 with lifting function, which are used to feed the feed troughs of the stepped chicken house 42. Below the collection bin 7, there are several sets of cleaning pipes 9 with lifting function, and below the cleaning pipes 9, there are cleaning components for cleaning the feed troughs of the stepped chicken house 42. The ground rail 1 provides a moving track for the moving lifting frame and is adapted to the layout on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42, ensuring that the equipment can cover the entire chicken house. The moving lifting frame moves along the ground rail 1, driving the upper gear ring 2, lifting rod 3 and guide rail 4 to move synchronously. The lifting rod 3 can adjust the height of the guide rail 4 to avoid interference between the feed bin 6 and the collection bin 7 and the gear ring 2 when they move. The adjusting cylinder 40 drives the compensation rail 5 to rise and fall to fill the gap between adjacent guide rails 4. The feed bin 6 and the collection bin 7 operate on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42 respectively. The unloading pipe 8 rises and falls to adapt to the height of different feeding troughs, and the cleaning pipe 9 rises and falls to adapt to the cleaning height of the feeding troughs, realizing synchronous feeding and cleaning, saving manpower.

[0035] Multiple sets of guide rails 4 are connected with compensating rails 5 for the movement of the feeding bins 6 and collecting bins 7. Side rails 43 are provided on both sides at one end of the overall equipment. These side rails 43, in conjunction with the rotation of the gear ring 2, connect with the guide rails 4 and compensating rails 5 at one end, allowing the multiple sets of feeding bins 6 to be arranged for feeding and the multiple sets of collecting bins 7 to be arranged for unloading waste. The guide rails 4 provide the foundation for the movement of the feeding bins 6 and collecting bins 7. The compensating rails 5 rise under the drive of the adjusting cylinder 40, filling the gaps between adjacent guide rails 4 and ensuring smooth, unimpeded movement. The rotation of the gear ring 2 drives the guide rails 4 to turn, precisely connecting the guide rails 4, compensating rails 5, and side rails 43 to form a complete extended track. Multiple sets of feeding bins 6 arranged along the track enable batch feeding, while multiple sets of collecting bins 7 enable centralized unloading and diversion of waste, improving operational efficiency and allowing for flexible equipment adaptation.

[0036] Both sides of the hopper 6 are equipped with lifting arms 32, and a motor 10 is mounted above the lifting arms 32. The output end of the motor 10 is equipped with a spiral blade shaft 11, which extends to the inner side of the discharge pipe 8. A dispersing ring 12 is rotatably mounted below the outer side of the discharge pipe 8, and a dispersing head 13 is mounted outside the dispersing ring 12. The inner side of the dispersing ring 12 is equipped with internal teeth. A gear 14 is driven by the motor below the outer side of the discharge pipe 8, and the gear 14 is adapted to the internal teeth. The lifting arms 32 provide mounting support for the motor 10. The motor 10 drives the spiral blade shaft 11 to rotate, stably conveying the feed in the hopper 6 to the outlet of the discharge pipe 8, avoiding feed blockage. The motor drives the gear 14 to rotate, and the gear 14 meshes with the internal teeth of the dispersing ring 12, driving the dispersing ring 12 and the dispersing head 13 to rotate, evenly dispersing the feed discharged from the discharge pipe 8, achieving uniform feeding and reducing waste.

[0037] A screw conveyor 15 is installed on one side of the feed bin 6, and a feed distribution pipe 16 is installed above one side of the screw conveyor 15. The feed distribution pipe 16 is used to evenly distribute feed between two adjacent sets of feed bins 6. The rotation of the screw conveyor 15 causes the feed in the feed bin 6 to move and rise. When the feed in a certain set of feed bins 6 is insufficient, the feed in the adjacent feed bins 6 is quickly transported to the feed-deficient bin through the feed distribution pipe 16, so as to achieve a balanced distribution of feed between adjacent feed bins 6 and ensure that the flock eats evenly.

[0038] The cleaning assembly includes a first bracket 17 and a second bracket 22, which are respectively located on both sides below the cleaning pipe 9. A rear plate is mounted on the rear side of the first bracket 17 via a spring 18. A scraper 19 is connected to the lower part of the rear plate, and side scrapers 20 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the scraper 19. A suction pipe 21 connected to the cleaning pipe 9 is located on the front side of the first bracket 17, and a suction pump located inside the collection chamber 7 is connected to the upper end of the cleaning pipe 9. The first bracket 17 and the second bracket 22 provide mounting support for the cleaning component. The spring 18 makes the scraper 19 elastic, which can adapt to the uneven surface of the feeding trough and ensure that there are no dead corners in the scraping. The side scrapers 20 can rotate flexibly to adapt to different inclination angles of the feeding trough and thoroughly clean corner residues. The suction pump provides suction power, sucking the waste scraped off by the scraper 19 into the cleaning pipe 9 through the suction pipe 21, and finally transporting it to the collection chamber 7.

[0039] A rotating head 23 is rotatably mounted below the second support 22, and brush bristles 24 are mounted below the rotating head 23. A nozzle 25 is mounted below the cleaning pipe 9 located between the first support 17 and the second support 22, and a spray hole 26 is mounted at the bottom of the nozzle 25. A liquid pump 27 is mounted above the second support 22, and the output end of the liquid pump 27 is connected to the nozzle 25. A liquid tank 29 is mounted on one side of the collection chamber 7, and a conduit 28 connects the input end of the liquid pump 27 and the liquid tank 29. The liquid pump 27 draws cleaning liquid from the liquid tank 29 through the conduit 28 and delivers it to the nozzle 25. The cleaning liquid is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the trough through the spray hole 26 to soften stubborn residues. The rotating head 23 drives the brush bristles 24 to rotate, thoroughly scrubbing the wetted surface of the trough. Combined with the scraper 19 scraping the material, it achieves integrated cleaning of scraping, spraying, and scrubbing, further improving the cleaning effect and providing strong cleaning adaptability.

[0040] A material leveling head 30 is provided on one side above the collection bin 7, and a negative pressure pump is provided at the connection between the material leveling head 30 and the collection bin 7. A receiving port 31, adapted to the bottom outlet of the material leveling head 30, is located on the top of the collection bin 7 at one side of the material leveling head 30. Waste is evenly distributed between adjacent sets of collection bins 7 through the material leveling head 30 and the receiving port 31. The negative pressure pump provides suction; when a set of collection bins 7 is about to be full of waste, excess waste is sucked through the material leveling head 30 into the receiving port 31 of the adjacent, not-yet-full collection bin 7, achieving even distribution of waste between adjacent collection bins 7, preventing waste accumulation, and ensuring continuous cleaning operations.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, this embodiment proposes a traveling feeder for large-scale poultry farming, including a ground rail 1, a moving lifting frame, and a toothed ring 2. The ground rail 1 is provided in multiple sets at equal intervals, and two adjacent sets of the ground rail 1 are located on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42. The moving lifting frame is movably positioned above the ground rail 1. The toothed ring 2 is rotatably positioned above two adjacent sets of the lifting frame. Lifting rods 3 are provided on both sides above the toothed ring 2, and the output end of the lifting rod 3 is provided with a guide rail 4. An adjusting cylinder 40 is provided on the outer side of the lifting rod 3, and a compensation rail 5 adapted to the guide rail 4 is provided on the adjusting cylinder 40.

[0043] The guide rail 4 is equipped with a feed bin 6 and a collection bin 7, which are respectively located on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42. Below the feed bin 6, there are several sets of unloading pipes 8 with lifting function, which are used to feed the feed troughs of the stepped chicken house 42. Below the collection bin 7, there are several sets of cleaning pipes 9 with lifting function, and below the cleaning pipes 9, there are cleaning components for cleaning the feed troughs of the stepped chicken house 42. The ground rail 1 provides a moving track for the moving lifting frame and is adapted to the layout on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42, ensuring that the equipment can cover the entire chicken house. The moving lifting frame moves along the ground rail 1, driving the upper gear ring 2, lifting rod 3 and guide rail 4 to move synchronously. The lifting rod 3 can adjust the height of the guide rail 4 to avoid interference between the feed bin 6 and the collection bin 7 and the gear ring 2 when they move. The adjusting cylinder 40 drives the compensation rail 5 to rise and fall to fill the gap between adjacent guide rails 4. The feed bin 6 and the collection bin 7 operate on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42 respectively. The unloading pipe 8 rises and falls to adapt to the height of different feeding troughs, and the cleaning pipe 9 rises and falls to adapt to the cleaning height of the feeding troughs, realizing synchronous feeding and cleaning, saving manpower.

[0044] Both sides of the hopper 6 and the collection bin 7 are equipped with support feet 33, and support wheels 34 are rotatably mounted on the lower inner side of each support foot 33. The support wheels 34 are adapted to the guide rail 4 and the compensating rail 5. The support feet 33 provide support for the hopper 6 and the collection bin 7, and the support wheels 34 are adapted to the guide rail 4 and the compensating rail 5 to reduce the friction when the hopper 6 and the collection bin 7 move, ensuring that they can move smoothly and stably along the track, avoiding jamming or derailment, and ensuring the continuity of operation.

[0045] The motion lifting frame includes a base frame 35 and an electric lifting rod 36. The electric lifting rod 36 is located inside the base frame 35, and its output end is connected to a bracket 37. The gear ring 2 is supported above the bracket 37. A drive gear 38 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the bracket 37, and the drive gear 38 is adapted to the gear ring 2. A limit wheel 39 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the bracket 37, and the limit wheel 39 limits the outer side of the gear ring 2. The base frame 35 provides the mounting base for the electric lifting rod 36. The electric lifting rod 36 drives the bracket 37 to rise and fall, thereby driving the gear ring 2 and its components to rise and fall, facilitating adjustment. The rotation of the drive gear 38 drives the gear ring 2 to rotate synchronously, providing power for the steering of the guide rail 4. The limit wheel 39 limits the gear ring 2 to prevent it from deviating during rotation, ensuring the smooth operation of the gear ring 2 and stable equipment linkage.

[0046] The base frame 35 is equipped with rotatable wheels 41 on its inner side, and the wheels 41 are adapted to the ground rail 1. The wheels 41 are adapted to the ground rail 1 and can roll smoothly along the ground rail 1, driving the base frame 35 and all the components above it to move synchronously, so that the feed bin 6 and the collection bin 7 can cover the entire area of ​​the stepped chicken house 42, realizing full-range feeding and cleaning.

[0047] This invention arranges the feed bin 6 and collection bin 7 on both sides of the stepped chicken house 42, respectively. With the help of the equally spaced ground rails 1, the moving lifting frame can drive the two bins to move smoothly along the ground rails 1, realizing the synchronous linkage of feeding and cleaning. During operation, the feed bin 6 on one side moves with the moving lifting frame, and feeds to each feeding trough of the stepped chicken house 42 through the unloading pipe 8; the collection bin 7 on the other side moves synchronously, and drives the cleaning component to clean the residual waste in the feeding trough through the cleaning pipe 9. There is no need to operate them separately. The management personnel can stand in the middle passage of the stepped chicken house 42 and observe the feeding situation, cleaning effect and waste collection status on both sides at the same time. There is no need to go back and forth to inspect and control both sides, which effectively reduces the workload of management personnel, reduces manpower input, and solves the problem of traditional equipment requiring dedicated personnel to manage feeding and cleaning and high manpower consumption. It improves the management efficiency and operation continuity of large-scale breeding and is suitable for the breeding needs of large-scale stepped chicken houses. Furthermore, this invention adjusts the height of the guide rail 4 by lifting rod 3, causing the feed bin 6 and collection bin 7 to rise and fall synchronously. This avoids interference between the gear ring 2 and the two. When the feed bin 6 and collection bin 7 need to move between adjacent guide rails 4, the compensation rail 5 on the outside of the lifting rod 3 rises synchronously to fill the gap between the guide rails 4. Together with the support wheel 34 under the support foot 33, it ensures that the two move smoothly and eliminates jamming and derailment. The rotation of the gear ring 2 can drive the guide rail 4 to turn. The side rails 43 on both sides of one end of the equipment can be precisely connected with the guide rail 4 and the compensation rail 5 to form an extended track. Multiple sets of feed bins 6 can be arranged to realize batch feeding, and multiple sets of collection bins 7 can be arranged to complete the centralized unloading and diversion of waste. This effectively improves the flexibility of equipment operation, is suitable for large-scale batch breeding operations in tiered chicken houses, and solves the problems of poor guide rail connection and inability to carry out batch operations in traditional equipment. Meanwhile, this invention sets up a feed equalization pipe 16 between adjacent feed bins 6, which works in conjunction with the auger 15 inside the feed bin 6. When the auger 15 is working, it drives the feed to flow evenly. When the feed in a certain feed bin 6 is insufficient, the feed in the adjacent feed bin 6 can be quickly transported to the feed-deficient bin through the feed equalization pipe 16, so as to achieve a balanced distribution of feed, avoid insufficient feed or accumulation, ensure that the chickens eat evenly, and improve the quality of breeding. A feed equalization head 30 and a receiving port 31 are set up between adjacent collection bins 7. Relying on the suction provided by the negative pressure pump, when a certain collection bin 7 is about to be full, the excess waste can be transported through the feed equalization head 30 to the receiving port 31 of the adjacent empty bin, so as to achieve waste diversion, avoid waste accumulation, ensure continuous and smooth cleaning operations, ensure the hygiene and safety of the breeding environment, and solve the problems of uneven feed and waste accumulation in traditional equipment.In addition, the present invention features a dispersing ring 12 rotatably positioned below the unloading pipe 8, with a dispersing head 13 on its outer side and internal teeth on its inner side. A motor drives a gear 14 below the unloading pipe 8, which precisely matches the internal teeth. During unloading, the motor 10 above the lifting arm 32 starts, driving the spiral blade shaft 11 to rotate, smoothly conveying the feed in the hopper 6 to the outlet of the unloading pipe 8, avoiding blockage and clumping. At the same time, the motor drives the gear 14 to rotate, causing the dispersing ring 12 and the dispersing head 13 to rotate at a uniform speed, evenly dispersing the feed. This eliminates the problems of feed accumulation and unevenness caused by traditional gravity unloading, ensuring that each chicken has an even opportunity to eat, reducing feed waste, ensuring the uniform growth of the flock, improving the economic benefits of large-scale farming, and solving the shortcomings of uneven unloading and serious feed waste in traditional methods. Finally, the cleaning component of this invention adopts an integrated design of scraping, spraying, and brushing, which is suitable for the complex structure of the tiered chicken coop feeder. During cleaning, the rear plate connected by the spring 18 to the rear side of the first bracket 17 drives the scraper 19 to fit against the feeder. The elasticity of the spring 18 allows the scraper 19 to adapt to the concave and convex surfaces of the feeder, thoroughly scraping away most of the residual waste. The side scrapers 20 at both ends of the scraper 19 can rotate flexibly to adapt to different angles of the feeder, cleaning corner residues, and simultaneously sucking the waste into the collection bin 7 through the suction pipe 21. After scraping, the liquid pump 27 draws cleaning liquid from the liquid tank 29 through the conduit 28 and sprays it onto the surface of the feeder through the bottom spray hole 26 of the nozzle 25 to soften stubborn residues. Then, the rotating head 23 drives the brush bristles 24 to rotate at high speed, thoroughly brushing the feeder. The whole process is thorough and highly adaptable, avoiding cleaning dead corners and bacterial growth, reducing the risk of disease in the flock, and meeting the hygiene requirements of large-scale farming.
