Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a livestock feed feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, feeding is one of the most frequent and labor-intensive tasks in daily management. Traditional manual feeding requires the farmer to add feed section by section along the feed trough using hand tools. This is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to ensure that the amount of feed added to each section of the feed trough is uniform. This can easily lead to problems such as excessive feed in some areas causing waste, and insufficient feed in other areas affecting the growth of livestock and poultry.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN114375864A discloses an intelligent feeding device for livestock farming, primarily relating to the field of livestock breeding technology. It includes a feed storage mechanism, with two storage mechanisms connected by a feed trough. The feed trough is used for feeding cattle, and a feeding mechanism is slidably mounted on it. The feeding mechanism includes an infeed component and a feed box. The infeed component adds feed and mixes it thoroughly. The feed box is located below the infeed component, and the mixed feed enters the feed box. The feed box is equipped with a discharge gate and a triggering component. The triggering component sequentially increases the opening of the discharge gate, allowing more feed to fall into the feed trough. This invention can automatically feed fattening cattle and, based on the characteristics of the fattening cattle, sequentially increases the size of the discharge gate to allow more feed into the feed trough, thus achieving intelligent feeding.

[0004] However, this livestock farming equipment has the following drawbacks in practical use: Existing feeding equipment mainly uses gravity feeding by adjusting the opening and closing of the discharge gate, which easily leads to feed accumulation and blockage, resulting in interrupted or uneven feeding. The feeding accuracy is poor, making it difficult to accurately adjust the feeding amount according to the different growth needs of livestock and poultry. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a livestock feed feeding device, achieved through the following technical solution: A livestock feed feeding device includes two equipment bases disposed on both sides of a feed trough. Equipment brackets are fixedly installed on the top surface of each equipment base. Parallel tracks are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the feed trough. The two ends of each track are fixedly connected to the equipment brackets on the same side. A storage box with an open top surface is provided above the track. A hopper is integrally fixedly installed on the top surface of the storage box. The storage box is disposed on top of the two tracks via a traveling mechanism, which can drive the storage box to move horizontally along the tracks. A position detection component is provided inside each of the two equipment brackets to detect the position of the storage box. A feeding trough is provided on one side of the bottom of the storage box. A feeding square tube is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding trough and connected to it. An auxiliary feeding component is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding square tube. A pushing component is provided inside the storage box.

[0006] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably installed inside the storage box, with helical blades fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft, and a first reduction motor fixedly installed on the outside of the storage box via a bracket, the output end of the first reduction motor being coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary feeding component includes a screw feeder fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding square tube. A second geared motor is fixedly installed on one side of the screw feeder to drive the screw feeder to work. A discharge port is opened on one side of the bottom of the screw feeder casing, and the discharge port is diagonally arranged with the feeding trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the traveling mechanism includes a storage bin bracket, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the storage bin. Track wheels cooperating with the track on the same side are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the storage bin bracket. A support plate is fixedly installed on the front of both equipment brackets. A connecting crossbar is fixedly installed at the front of the storage bin bracket. A C-shaped guide sleeve fitted over the support plate is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting crossbar. The support plate passes laterally through the C-shaped guide sleeve and slides with it. A rack is fixedly installed on the front of the support plate. A motor mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the C-shaped guide sleeve. A traveling reduction motor is fixedly installed on the front of the motor mounting plate. A traveling gear meshing with the rack is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the traveling reduction motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the position detection component includes a first infrared rangefinder and a second infrared rangefinder. The first infrared rangefinder and the second infrared rangefinder are respectively fixedly installed on the upper part of the inner side of the two equipment brackets. The first infrared rangefinder and the second infrared rangefinder are both facing the storage bin, which is used to detect the position of the storage bin.

[0010] Furthermore, both ends of the track extend outward from the feed trough by at least the length of the storage box, allowing the storage box to be moved out of the space at the top of the feed trough.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a control box, which works with the first infrared rangefinder and the second infrared rangefinder to detect the position of the storage bin in real time. When the storage bin reaches the preset position, the first infrared rangefinder and the second infrared rangefinder transmit signals to the control box. The control box then de-energizes the first geared motor, the second geared motor, and the travel geared motor to stop running. When the device restarts, if the storage bin is close to the first infrared rangefinder, the device moves toward the second infrared rangefinder; conversely, if the storage bin is close to the second infrared rangefinder, the device moves toward the first infrared rangefinder.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This device, by setting a spiral blade pushing assembly driven by a first geared motor inside the storage bin, can gradually and evenly push the feed in the storage bin into the feed trough, fundamentally avoiding the feed accumulation and blockage problem that is prone to occur in gravity feeding methods, and ensuring the continuous and stable feeding process.

[0013] 2. The device uses a screw feeder as an auxiliary feeding component, which can accurately control the feed conveying speed and feeding amount; at the same time, the discharge port and the feeding trough are set diagonally, which extends the conveying path of the feed inside the screw feeder, avoids the feed falling directly, and further improves the feeding accuracy and stability.

[0014] 3. This device adopts a gear and rack transmission combined with a track-walking wheel for movement. At the same time, it is guided by the sliding fit between the C-shaped guide sleeve and the support plate, which effectively prevents deviation and jamming during the movement of the equipment. This ensures that the equipment can move smoothly and evenly along the feed trough, and ensures uniform feeding and consistent feeding amount in all parts of the feed trough.

[0015] 4. The track extends outward from both ends of the feed trough by at least the length of the storage box, allowing the storage box to be completely removed from the top space of the feed trough. This will not affect the normal feeding of livestock and poultry, and will also facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the feed trough. At the same time, the feeder only needs to feed the animals from one side of the feed trough, without having to run back and forth in the farm, which significantly reduces the labor intensity and facilitates the unified management of different breeding pens.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0019] Example 1: A feed feeding device for livestock farming like Figure 1-11 As shown, a livestock feed feeding device has the following specific structure: Two equipment bases 1 are located on both sides of the feed trough 3. The equipment bases 1 are made of concrete or welded steel structure and serve as a stable support foundation for the entire device. Vertical equipment brackets 2 are fixed to the top surface of the equipment bases 1 by bolts. The equipment brackets 2 are made of welded square steel and have sufficient strength and rigidity.

[0020] Parallel tracks 4 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the feed trough 3. The tracks 4 are made of I-beams or channel steel, and their two ends are fixedly connected to the equipment bracket 2 on the same side by bolts. Both ends of the tracks 4 extend outward from the feed trough 3 by at least the length of the storage box 5. The purpose of this design is to allow the storage box 5 to be completely removed from the space on top of the feed trough 3, so as to avoid the storage box 5 obstructing the feed trough 3 after feeding, thus affecting the feeding of livestock and poultry and the cleaning and maintenance of the feed trough 3.

[0021] Above the track 4 is a storage bin 5 with an open top surface. The storage bin 5 is made of welded stainless steel plate, which has the advantages of corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. A hopper 6 is integrally fixedly installed on the top surface of the storage bin 5. The hopper 6 is funnel-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which facilitates the addition of feed into the storage bin 5. The storage bin 5 is set on top of the two tracks 4 through a traveling mechanism. The traveling mechanism can drive the storage bin 5 to move horizontally along the tracks 4, thereby realizing continuous feeding operation of the entire feed trough 3.

[0022] The traveling mechanism includes a storage box bracket 15, which is made of square steel welded together and fixedly installed on the outside of the storage box 5 by bolts. At the four corners of the bottom surface of the storage box bracket 15, track wheels 16 that cooperate with the track 4 on the same side are fixedly installed. The track wheels 16 are nylon wheels or rubber wheels with bearings, enabling them to roll smoothly on the track 4.

[0023] A horizontally positioned support plate 17, made of steel plate, is fixedly installed on the front of both equipment brackets 2. A connecting crossbar 18 is fixedly installed on the front of the storage box bracket 15. A C-shaped guide sleeve 19, fitted over the support plate 17, is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting crossbar 18. The support plate 17 passes through the C-shaped guide sleeve 19 laterally and slides with it. Lubricant is applied between the C-shaped guide sleeve 19 and the support plate 17 to reduce sliding resistance.

[0024] A rack 20 is bolted to the front of the support plate 17, and the rack 20 extends along the length of the support plate 17. A motor mounting plate 21 is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the C-shaped guide sleeve 19, and a travel reduction motor 22 is bolted to the front of the motor mounting plate 21. The output shaft of the travel reduction motor 22 passes through the motor mounting plate 21 and is fixedly mounted with a travel gear 23 that meshes with the rack 20.

[0025] When the travel reduction motor 22 starts, it drives the travel gear 23 to rotate. Since the rack 20 is fixed, the meshing rack 20 drives the travel gear 23 to move along the extension direction of the rack 20. This, in turn, drives the storage box bracket 15 to move laterally along the support plate 17 through the C-shaped guide sleeve 19 and the connecting crossbar 18. At the same time, the track travel wheels 16 at the four corners of the bottom of the storage box bracket 15 move synchronously on the corresponding tracks 4, thereby driving the entire feeding equipment to move at a uniform speed along the feed trough 3. This gear and rack transmission combined with the track travel wheels, along with the guiding effect of the C-shaped guide sleeve, can effectively prevent deviation and jamming during the movement of the equipment, ensuring a smooth and controllable movement process.

[0026] Both equipment brackets 2 are equipped with position detection components on their inner sides for real-time detection of the position of the storage bin 5. The position detection components include a first infrared rangefinder 24 and a second infrared rangefinder 25. The first infrared rangefinder 24 and the second infrared rangefinder 25 are respectively fixedly mounted on the upper inner side of the two equipment brackets 2 via brackets. Both the first infrared rangefinder 24 and the second infrared rangefinder 25 are positioned facing the storage bin 5.

[0027] A feeding trough 7 is provided on one side of the bottom of the storage bin 5. A feeding square tube 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding trough 7 and connected to it via a flange. An auxiliary feeding component is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding square tube 8. At the same time, a pushing component is provided inside the storage bin 5 to push the feed in the storage bin 5 evenly into the feeding trough 7.

[0028] The specific structure of the feeding assembly is as follows: it includes a rotating shaft 9 rotatably installed inside the storage bin 5, with both ends of the shaft 9 rotatably connected to the side wall of the storage bin 5 via bearing seats. A spiral blade 10 is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 9. The spiral blade 10 is made of stainless steel, and its outer diameter is adapted to the internal width of the storage bin 5. A first reduction motor 11 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the storage bin 5 via a bracket, and the output end of the first reduction motor 11 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9 via a coupling.

[0029] When the first reduction motor 11 is working, it can drive the rotating shaft 9 and the spiral blade 10 to rotate synchronously. The rotating spiral blade 10 can push the feed in the storage box 5 to the feed trough 7 gradually and evenly, so that the feed can enter the feed square tube 8 continuously and stably, fundamentally avoiding the problem of feed accumulation and blockage inside the storage box 5.

[0030] The auxiliary feeding assembly has the following structure: it includes a screw feeder 12 fixedly installed at the bottom of the discharge square tube 8, with the top opening of the screw feeder 12 fixedly connected to the lower end of the discharge square tube 8. A second reduction motor 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the screw feeder 12 via a flange, which drives the screw conveying shaft inside the screw feeder 12. A discharge port 14 is provided on one side of the bottom of the casing of the screw feeder 12, and the discharge port 14 is diagonally arranged with the discharge trough 7.

[0031] After the feed falls into the screw feeder 12 through the feeding square tube 8, the second reduction motor 13 drives the screw feeder 12 to operate, continuously conveying the feed to the discharge port 14, and finally discharging the feed into the feed trough 3. The diagonal arrangement of the discharge port 14 and the feeding trough 7 can significantly extend the conveying path of the feed inside the screw feeder 12, preventing the feed from falling directly from the discharge port 14 before it has been fully conveyed. This not only ensures the stability of the feeding process, but also allows for precise control of the feeding amount by adjusting the speed of the second reduction motor 13, greatly improving the feeding accuracy.

[0032] The invention also includes a control box 26, which is fixedly installed at the front of the storage bin bracket 15. The control box 26 houses a PLC controller and integrates electrical components such as a relay module, power supply module, signal acquisition module, and communication module. An integrated control panel is located at the front of the control box 26, equipped with a power switch, start / stop button, emergency stop button, parameter setting display screen, and adjustment buttons, allowing operators to intuitively set the operating parameters of each motor, start and stop the equipment, and view the equipment's operating status and fault information in real time. The control box 26 is electrically connected to the first geared motor 11, the second geared motor 13, the travel geared motor 22, the first infrared rangefinder 24, and the second infrared rangefinder 25.

[0033] The control box 26, together with the first infrared rangefinder 24 and the second infrared rangefinder 25, detects the position of the storage box 5 in real time. When the storage box 5 reaches the preset limit position (i.e., the two ends of the track 4), the first infrared rangefinder 24 or the second infrared rangefinder 25 converts the detected distance signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the PLC controller in the control box 26. After logic operation, the PLC controller issues a control command to simultaneously de-energize and stop the first geared motor 11, the second geared motor 13 and the travel geared motor 22 to prevent the equipment from being damaged by collision.

[0034] When the device restarts, the PLC controller automatically reads the real-time distance data detected by the first infrared rangefinder 24 and the second infrared rangefinder 25. By comparing the two distance values, it determines the current position of the storage bin 5: if the storage bin 5 is closer to the first infrared rangefinder 24, it controls the travel reduction motor 22 to rotate forward, driving the device towards the direction of the second infrared rangefinder 25; conversely, if the storage bin 5 is closer to the second infrared rangefinder 25, it controls the travel reduction motor 22 to rotate in reverse, driving the device towards the direction of the first infrared rangefinder 24. This design enables the device to automatically reciprocate feeding operations without manual intervention.

[0035] The working principle of this invention is as follows: In use, the feeder first adds feed into the storage box 5 through the feed hopper 6, and then sets the operating parameters of the first geared motor 11, the second geared motor 13, and the walking geared motor 22 through the control panel on the control box 26. This includes the feeding speed of the spiral blade 10, the feeding speed of the spiral feeder 12, and the walking speed of the equipment. After setting the parameters, press the start button. Since the PLC controller has programming function, the user can set different modes for the above parameters, such as mode one, mode two, mode three, etc. After setting, the corresponding mode can be selected directly when using the equipment, without having to set them one by one again.

[0036] After the device is started, the walking reduction motor 22 starts working first. When the bottom discharge port 14 of the screw feeder 12 moves to the top of the feed trough, the first reduction motor 11 and the second reduction motor 13 start working. The first reduction motor 11 drives the screw blades 10 to rotate, pushing the feed in the storage box 5 evenly into the feed trough 7. The feed falls into the screw feeder 12 through the discharge square tube 8. The second reduction motor 13 drives the screw feeder 12 to rotate, feeding the feed evenly from the discharge port 14 into the feed trough 3. At the same time, the walking reduction motor 22 drives the entire storage box 5 and the feeding mechanism to move at a constant speed along the track 4 through gear and rack transmission, thereby realizing continuous and uniform feeding of the entire feed trough 3.

[0037] When the storage bin 5 moves to the preset position, if the first infrared rangefinder 24 or the second infrared rangefinder 25 detects that the discharge port 14 is about to leave the feed trough 3, the PLC controller in the control box 26 will automatically stop the first reduction motor 11 and the second reduction motor 13. Then, when the storage bin 5 has completely moved out of the top space of the feed trough 3, the PLC controller in the control box 26 will automatically stop the walking reduction motor 22. By completely moving the storage bin 5 out of the top space of the feed trough 3, it will not affect the feeding of livestock and poultry (it should be noted that the length of the feed trough 3 can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the enterprise). When feeding is required again, simply press the start button again, and the control box 26 will automatically control the device to move in the opposite direction to carry out the next round of feeding.

[0038] The feeder only needs to feed the equipment from one side of the feed trough 3, eliminating the need to run back and forth within the farm and significantly reducing labor intensity. Simultaneously, by adjusting the speed of each geared motor, the amount and speed of feed can be flexibly controlled, facilitating targeted feeding of livestock and poultry in different pens and at different growth stages, thus achieving unified management of feed delivery.

[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, multiple cross-shaped brackets are fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 9. Spiral blades 10 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the brackets. The spiral blades 10 are strip-shaped spiral blades with small volume, which can realize the continuous conveying of small amounts of feed. During the rotation, they mainly push the feed close to the spiral blades 10 to move, avoiding the accumulation of feed on one side of the storage box 5. The spiral blades 10 are completely submerged in the feed. During the rotation, they can also play a certain role in turning and throwing, further avoiding the accumulation and jamming of feed.

[0040] Example 3: Based on Example 1, several L-shaped support legs distributed along the length direction are fixedly installed on the outer side of the track 4. The L-shaped support legs can support the track 4, improve the support force of the track 4, and increase the stability of the walking mechanism during movement.

[0041] The location of the controller described in this solution is set by the staff according to the actual situation during operation. The controller is used to control the electrical components used in this solution. The controller can also be an Intel processor, AMD processor, ARM processor, or microcontroller. It is used in conjunction with a motherboard, memory modules, storage media, and power supply, which is AC power. When a display screen is provided, a graphics card is also provided. For the operating principle of the controller, please refer to "Principles of Automatic Control", "Principles and Application Simulation Cases of Microcontrollers", and "Principles and Applications of Sensors" published by Tsinghua University Press. Other books in this field can also be consulted. Other automation control and electrical components not mentioned are knowledge well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In explaining this invention, it should be noted that the terms indicating location are used only for ease of description and understanding, and are not intended to limit the installation location of specific technical features. Other possible installation methods are not excluded.
