[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] This embodiment describes the basic structure and principle of the animal feeder, specifically:

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an animal feeder, comprising a support base 1, which is usually fixed on a mobile trolley and driven by the mobile trolley to move in the animal feeding area to reach the animal's feeding trough;

[0037] Two groups of feeding mechanisms 2 are arranged on the support base 1, and the two groups of feeding mechanisms 2 include a first feeding mechanism and a second feeding mechanism, wherein the first feeding mechanism is used for a single feed feeding scenario, and the second feeding mechanism is used for a mixed feeding scenario of multiple feeds;

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 (including the first feeding mechanism and the second feeding mechanism) includes a feeding bin 21 fixedly mounted on the support base 1, and the upper end of the feeding bin 21 is provided with a feeding port 211 for feeding feed, and the lower end of the feeding bin 21 is connected with a feeding pipe 23, so that the feed fed into the feeding bin 21 can enter the interior of the feeding pipe 23;

[0039] Meanwhile, a reducer 22 is fixedly mounted on the support seat 1, and a screw rod 27 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the reducer 22. The screw rod 27 penetrates the feeding pipe 23 and is installed with a bearing of the feeding pipe 23. Thus, driven by the reducer 22, the screw rod 27 can rotate and squeeze and transport the feed falling into the feeding pipe 23 in a direction away from the reducer 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, the height of the feed delivery pipe 23 gradually decreases in the direction away from the reducer 22, so that a downward inclined channel is formed inside the feed delivery pipe 23 to assist in the delivery of feed;

[0041] A discharge port 25 is provided vertically downward at a position of the feed pipe 23 away from the reducer 22, so that the feed can be transported to the trough through the discharge port 25;

[0042] It should be noted that a sealing plate 26 is provided at one end of the feed conveying pipe 23 away from the reducer 22 to prevent the feed from overflowing.

[0043] In order to solve the problem of mixing and stirring various feeds, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a stirring assembly 3 is provided on the inner wall of the second feeding mechanism, and the stirring assembly 3 includes a motor 31 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the feeding bin 21, and a stirring rod 32 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 31. At the same time, the stirring rod 32 extends into the interior of the feeding bin 21, and a plurality of stirring blades 33 are fixedly mounted on the stirring rod 32. When the feed enters the stirring bin, the stirring blades 33 are driven to rotate by the motor 31 to stir and mix the feed.

[0044] In summary, by providing a first feeding mechanism and a second feeding mechanism, different usage scenarios of the feeder can be coped with, thereby improving the applicability of the feeder, and the two sets of feeding mechanisms can work independently to cope with different application scenarios at the same time.

[0045] During the application of the feeder, since the viscosity of the feed changes with the feeding requirements, the feed may be transported slowly due to its high viscosity, or even blocked in the feed pipe 23. The feed pipe 23 is long, so when the feed pipe 23 is blocked, it needs to be cleared in time.

[0046] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the feed conveying pipe 23 is divided into a front pipe 231 close to the feeding bin 21 and a rear pipe 232 far away from the feeding bin 21, and a connector 4 is connected between the front pipe 231 and the rear pipe 232. The connector 4 includes an intermediate pipe 41. The intermediate pipe 41 is divided into an inlet end 411 connected to the front pipe 231 and an outlet end 412 connected to the rear pipe 232, so that the feed can enter the intermediate pipe 41 from the front pipe 231 and then reach the outlet 25 through the rear pipe 232;

[0047] The middle pipe 41 is connected to an inclined pipe 42, which is used to connect to external high-pressure gas, so that the material delivery pipe 23 can be cleared by the high-pressure gas.

[0048] At the same time, the height of the inclined tube 42 gradually decreases along the direction from the feed inlet end 411 to the feed outlet end 412, so that the high-pressure gas can guide the blocked feed to the feed outlet 25;

[0049] A first sealing head 44 is covered on the inclined tube 42 so that the inclined tube 42 is in a closed state when not in use;

[0050] In this embodiment, the inclined tube 42 can also be used to transport the nutrient solution to be mixed with the feed.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, a bottom pipe 43 is connected to the bottom of the middle pipe 41, and the bottom pipe 43 is used to guide the feed out when the feed delivery pipe 23 is seriously blocked;

[0052] At the same time, a second sealing head 45 is covered on the bottom tube 43 so that the bottom tube 43 is in a closed state when not in use.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second head 45 is arranged in an arc shape inside the bottom tube 43, and the curvature of the arc matches the curvature of the feed pipe 23, so that when the second head 45 is closed, it can fit with the feed pipe 23, thereby not affecting the delivery of the feed.

[0054] Furthermore, a nozzle installation threaded hole can be provided on the inclined tube 42, and a threaded seal is provided on the nozzle installation threaded hole. When in use, the seal is removed, and a nozzle (such as a spiral nozzle with threads) is installed. The water inlet of the nozzle is connected to one end of a water pipe, and the other end of the water pipe is connected to a water source. Water is sprayed into the inclined tube 42, and the water flow forms a high-speed water flow under the action of high-pressure gas, thereby making it easier to clean the clogged feed and improving the efficiency of clearing the blockage.

[0055] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
