[0033] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, a person skilled in the art adds fresh milk, lactic acid and other required food additives to be fed to the calf into the lower feed bin 210 and injects them into the feeding bin 100, and turns on the servo motor 240 so that the servo motor 240 drives the stirring blade 250 to rotate, and the stirring blade 250 stirs the fresh milk, lactic acid and other required food additives in the feeding bin 100, and at the same time stirs the fresh milk adsorbed on the inner wall of the feeding bin 100 and the conical bin 110. , lactic acid and other required food additives can be scraped off, so that the food inside the feeding bin 100 and the conical bin 110 can be fully stirred and mixed. The calf to be fed holds the feeding tube 340 in its mouth and pushes the feeding tube 340 with force, so that the feeding tube 340 slides inside the first baffle ring 310, the second baffle ring 320, and the fourth baffle ring 330, so that the through groove 341 inside the feeding tube 340 moves to the inner side of the second baffle ring 320, and the milk in the conical bin 110 flows into the fourth baffle ring 330 through the through hole inside the first baffle ring 310. The inner side of the second retaining ring 320 then enters the feeding tube 340 through the through groove 341, thereby feeding the calf. After the calf loosens the feeding tube 340, the elastic force of the reset spring 342 can push the feeding tube 340 to reset through the reset spring 342, so that the through groove 341 on the surface of the feeding tube 340 retreats to between the second retaining ring 320 and the fourth retaining ring 330, thereby blocking the feeding tube 340. When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the feeding bin 100 and the conical bin 110, the water inlet pipe 42 0 is filled with tap water, and the water is atomized through the annular tube 400 through the atomizing nozzle 410 to spray and clean the inner walls of the feeding bin 100 and the conical bin 110. By opening the valve 112, the cleaning liquid can be discharged through the discharge pipe 111. At the same time, by turning on the servo motor 240, the servo motor 240 drives the stirring blade 250 to rotate, and the outer walls of the feeding bin 100 and the conical bin 110 are scraped and cleaned, which is convenient for self-cleaning of the inside of the feeding bin 100 and the conical bin 110, and the food residues are discharged through the discharge pipe 111.
