DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present application includes a housing 1 for connecting a milk source transport pipe. The housing 1 has the same main structure as the existing feeding device. A slider 11 is hinged on the top of the housing 1 for driving the housing 1 to move horizontally. The slider 11 is arranged in a moving slideway with a preset path. Moving wheels 12 are symmetrically arranged on both ends of the slider 11 facing the moving slideway. Figure 1 The moving wheel 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the slider 11 and contacts the moving slideway. The horizontal movement of the housing 1 is achieved by driving the moving wheel 12 to rotate. The top of the slider 11 is provided with a power component that provides power for the rotation of the moving wheel 12. The power component is usually a reduction motor. Figure 6 As shown, the bottom end of the slider 11 is fixedly connected with an optical axis A15 , and the optical axis A15 is hinged on the top end of the housing 1 .

[0024] A delivery pipe 13 for delivering milk in the shell 1 to the calf is fixed to and connected to the end of the shell 1 facing the calf. A nipple 14 is fixed to the end of the delivery pipe 13 facing the calf. The nipple 14 is connected to the delivery pipe 13 so that the calf can suck the milk stored in the shell 1 by biting the nipple 14.

[0025] In order to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and reduce the deflection angle of the shell 1 pushed by the calf when eating, the calf does not need to extend its head excessively when eating; a reset component is connected to the end of the shell 1 facing the ground.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the reset assembly described in the present application includes an optical axis B2 fixedly mounted on one end of the shell 1 facing the ground, the axis centerline of the optical axis B2 is arranged colinearly with the axis centerline of the shell 1, and a counterweight portion 21 for increasing the weight of the shell 1 and reducing the calf pushing angle is fixedly connected to the end of the optical axis B2 away from the shell 1, and a connecting assembly 25 is arranged on the counterweight portion 21, and the connecting assembly 25 is used to realize the connection between the counterweight portion 21 and the counterweight block 23, so that the counterweight block 23 can be detachably connected to the counterweight portion 21, and a connecting assembly 25 is arranged on each end face of the counterweight portion 21, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 The counterweight block 23 is provided with a connecting assembly 25, and the connecting assembly 25 is used to realize the detachable connection of multiple counterweight blocks 23 in a step-by-step connection manner, so as to change the center of mass weight of the counterweight part 21. The connecting assembly 25 includes a locking slide 22 and a connecting part 24. The locking slide 22 is arranged on the counterweight part 21 or the counterweight block 23. The connecting part 24 is arranged on each counterweight block 23 and is symmetrically arranged on the two end faces of the counterweight block 23 with the locking slide 22. The connecting part 24 cooperates with the locking slide 22 to ensure that the counterweight block 23 can be connected to the counterweight part 21 without falling or to realize the step-by-step connection between multiple counterweight blocks 23. The common structures of the locking slide 22 include I-shaped or T-shaped, etc., which can be selected according to needs. By adding or reducing the counterweight blocks 23 at both ends of the counterweight part 21, the weight of the shell 1 itself is changed, so that after the calf pushes the shell 1 to rotate when eating, the shell 1 can be quickly reset through the cooperation between the counterweight part 21 and the counterweight block 23.

[0027] The working condition of the above structure is described below. The staff drives the shell 1 to move through the power component to move the nipple 14 to the front of the calf. The calf bites the nipple 14 to suck the milk stored in the shell 1. During the sucking process, the calf will push the shell 1 to deflect away from the calf. In order to reduce the deflection, different numbers of counterweight blocks 23 are installed on both ends of the counterweight part 21 to increase the weight of the shell 1 itself, so that the calf can quickly reset after pushing the shell 1.

[0028] In the second embodiment, a reset assembly is introduced for realizing the reset of the housing 1 by gravity by changing the center of gravity of the housing 1. The reset assembly also includes a connecting shaft 3. The connecting shaft 3 is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the axis of the connecting shaft 3 is collinear with the axis of the housing 1, a centering ball 33 is slidably connected to the connecting shaft 3, the axis of the connecting shaft 3 is collinear with the center of the centering ball 33, the connecting shaft 3 has a plurality of locking holes 31 arranged in an array at equal intervals along the length direction, a fixing hole 34 is arranged on the centering ball 33, the fixing hole 34 passes through the center of the centering ball 33 and is perpendicular to the tangent of the centering ball 33, a fixing assembly capable of locking the height of the centering ball 33 is detachably connected to the centering ball 33, and the fixing assembly locks the centering ball 33 by cooperating with the fixing hole 34 and one of the locking holes 31. The fixing assembly can be realized by using structures such as bolt and nut assemblies and positioning pins according to actual conditions. The center of gravity position of the housing 1 is changed by moving the centering ball 33 to make it move along the length direction of the connecting shaft 3, so that the housing 1 can be quickly reset after the calf pushes the housing 1. A bottom baffle 32 for preventing the centering ball 33 from slipping is detachably connected to the end of the connecting shaft 3 facing the ground. When the centering ball 33 with a larger mass needs to be replaced, the bottom baffle 32 is separated from the connecting shaft 3, the centering ball 33 slides off the bottom end of the connecting shaft 3, and a new centering ball 33 is put on the connecting shaft 3 to complete the replacement.
