Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock and poultry breeding, in particular to an automatic feeding device for laying hen breeding cages. Background Art

[0002] With the development of agricultural automation and intelligence, the traditional laying hen farming method has gradually been replaced by intensive and large-scale modern farming models. The three-dimensional breeding cage is a new model of laying hen farming. After stacking the breeding cage units, the space can be fully utilized, the ground space can be reduced, and the breeding cost can be reduced. A feed trough will be installed on the outside of the three-dimensional breeding cage. After pouring the feed into the feed trough, the laying hens can eat the feed by themselves. Traditional feeding is mostly done manually by the breeders, with low feeding efficiency and high labor intensity. When feeding to the higher feed trough of the breeding cage, the breeders need to climb to a high place to add it, which poses certain safety hazards. With the development of automation technology, automatic feeding devices will be installed on the breeding cages. The use of manpower can be reduced by automatic feeding, and the feeding amount is also more accurate. However, most automatic feeding equipment is fixed-point feeding, and the feed will be accumulated on the feed trough below the automatic feeding equipment. When laying hens eat feed, they tend to gather in the same position, causing crowding and trampling on each other. Therefore, breeders often need to use additional tools to push the feed, which is less efficient. Summary of the invention

A through hole 12 is provided on the gear 7. The first electric push rod 8 is provided on the side wall of the through hole 12. The output shaft of the rotating ring 10 is connected to the convex surface of the arc-shaped abutment plate 9. The rotating shaft 6 passes through the concave surfaces of the arc-shaped abutment plate 9. The rotating ring 10 is rotatably sleeved on the feeding pipe 3. The rack 11 is circumferentially arranged along the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring 10. The gear 7 is meshed with the rack 11. An opening 13 is provided on the rotating ring 10, and the discharge port 4 is located on the inner side of the rotation path of the opening 13.

[0023] The feed trough 1 is installed on the outer wall of the three-dimensional breeding cage. A feeding pipe 3 is arranged under each feed trough 1. The feeding pipe 3 is connected to the feed trough 1 through a mounting plate 2. A plurality of discharge ports 4 are arranged at the bottom thereof. After the feed is added into the feeding pipe 3, the feeding mechanism is turned on. The feeding mechanism can drive the feed to move in the feeding pipe 3. During the movement, the feed can fall from the discharge port 4 into the feed trough 1 below, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the feed. Since the feeding mechanism can drive the feed to move in the feeding pipe 3, the feed can be moved to different positions of the feed trough 1 for easy and even dispersion, thereby avoiding crowding, trampling and injuries of laying hens when eating the feed.

[0024] A plurality of rotating rings 10 are arranged on the outside of the feeding tube 3. The rotating ring 10 is located on the outside of the discharge port 4. A rack 11 is arranged on the outer wall thereof. A gear 7 is arranged on the top of the feeding tube 3. The rotating motor 5 can drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. If the arc-shaped abutment plate 9 in the through hole 12 of the gear 7 abuts on the rotating shaft 6, the gear 7 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 6 and drive the rotating ring 10 to rotate through the rack 11. An opening 13 is arranged on the rotating ring 10. When the rotating ring 10 rotates, the opening 13 can coincide with the discharge port 4 or leave the discharge port 4 to realize the opening and closing of the discharge port 4.

[0031] Preferably, an annular groove 18 is provided on the outer wall of the feeding pipe 3 , and a sliding block 19 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating ring 10 , and the sliding block 19 is located in the annular groove 18 .

[0032] When the rotating ring 10 rotates, the slider 19 moves along the annular groove 18 to avoid rotation deviation and ensure normal meshing of the gear 7 and the rack 11.

[0033] Preferably, the feeding control mechanism also includes a second electric push rod 20 and a lower pressure plate 21. The second electric push rod 20 is arranged on the bottom surface of the feed trough 1, and its output shaft is connected to the top surface of the lower pressure plate 21. The lower pressure plate 21 is located above the gear 7. The feeding control mechanism also includes a gasket 22, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the lower pressure plate 21.

[0034] When the arc-shaped abutment plate 9 leaves the rotating shaft 6, the gear 7 will not rotate with the rotating shaft 6.
