Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry equipment, in particular to an automatic feeding animal husbandry trough. Background Art
[0002] With the development of automation technology, automatic feeding livestock troughs have come into being. They can add feed to the troughs at regular intervals and in fixed quantities according to preset parameters, greatly improving feeding efficiency and management level.
[0003] Although the traditional automatic feeding livestock trough has solved the time-consuming and laborious problem of manual feeding to a certain extent, it still has some shortcomings. The most important problem is that most troughs use a unified feeding standard, which does not take into account the differences between each individual cattle and sheep. Due to the influence of various factors such as genetics, health status, age, and gender, the growth rate and food intake of each cattle and sheep are different. If a uniform feeding amount is used, some cattle and sheep may have excess feed in the trough, while others may not be full, which not only affects the health and growth of the animals, but also causes feed waste. Therefore, we propose an automatic feeding livestock trough to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0021] The present application provides an automatic feeding livestock trough, which is mainly used to solve the problem that most troughs in the prior art adopt a unified feeding standard, without considering the differences between each individual cattle and sheep. Due to the influence of various factors such as genetics, health status, age, and gender, the growth rate and food intake of each cattle and sheep are different. If a uniform feeding amount is used, some feed may be left in the trough, while other cattle and sheep may not be full, which not only affects the health and growth of the animals, but also causes the problem of feed waste. The following technical solutions are provided, which will be combined with Figure 1-Figure 3 Make a detailed description:
[0022] An automatic feeding livestock trough, comprising:
[0023] Installation bins 1, the number of which is two, and one side of which is upwardly connected to a feed hopper 2;
[0024] The feeding mechanism 3 is used for feeding feed. The feeding mechanism 3 includes a mounting tube 301 between two connected mounting bins 1. There are two mounting tubes 301, and the tube bodies of the two mounting tubes 301 fit each other. The tops of the two mounting tubes 301 are connected with feeding troughs 302 at equal intervals. A rotating rod 303 is rotatably connected between the inner side walls of the two mounting bins 1. The rotating rod 303 is inserted into the interior of the mounting tube 301. An auger 304 is arranged on the surface of the rotating rod 303. A driving motor 305 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting bin 1. The output shaft of the driving motor 305 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 303.
[0025] Workflow Description:
[0026] The first step is feed addition: first, the powdered feed is added into the two installation bins 1 through the feed hopper 2;
[0027] The second step is to start the feeding mechanism 3 to feed the feed. The operator turns on the driving motor 305 to drive the rotating rod 303 to rotate, thereby causing the auger 304 to rotate in the mounting tube 301, pushing the feed forward along the mounting tube 301. As the auger 304 is pushed forward, the feed is transported to the feeding trough 302. Since there are two conveying devices of the auger 304 and the feed is transported in opposite directions, the feed can move back and forth in the mounting tube 301, and each cattle and sheep can eat at the feeding trough 302 according to their own appetite.
[0028] The third step is to turn off the drive motor 305 when all the cattle and sheep are full.
[0029] The automatic feeding livestock trough is provided with a feeding mechanism 3. When in use, feed is added from the feed hopper 2, and the feed enters the interior of the mounting bin 1. When the driving motor 305 works, it drives the rotating rod 303 to rotate, and the auger 304 can drive the feed to move in the mounting tube 301. When the feed passes through the feed trough, the cattle and sheep can eat according to their own needs, ensuring that each cattle and sheep can get the right amount of food. At the same time, the device has a high degree of automation, which reduces the need for manual intervention and saves labor costs.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a trapezoidal notch 3021 is configured on one side of the feeding trough 302. More specifically, the design of the trapezoidal notch 3021 enables livestock such as cattle and sheep to eat feed more easily from the trough. This shape reduces obstacles that animals may encounter when eating, allowing them to eat more naturally and comfortably.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the auger 304 is spring-shaped. More specifically, the spring-shaped design of the auger 304 ensures that during the feed delivery process, even if the cattle and sheep put their heads into the feeding trough 302, they will not directly contact the rotating auger 304, thereby avoiding possible injuries. This design takes into account the safety of the animals and prevents accidents.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a discharge port 101 is constructed at one end of the mounting bin 1 away from the feed hopper 2, and baffle plates 4 are slidably inserted on the upper and lower sides thereof near the discharge port 101. The baffle plate 4 is T-shaped, and a lifting hole is constructed on the upper side. More specifically, by setting the discharge port 101, excess feed can be discharged to the outside, thereby facilitating the staff to clean the device. During cleaning, the baffle plate 4 can be removed so that excess feed can be discharged from the discharge port 101.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the discharge ports 101 of the two installation bins 1 face opposite directions, and the drive motors 305 are both installed on the rotating rods 303 near the discharge ports 101. More specifically, by setting the discharge ports 101 of the two installation bins 1 to face opposite directions, the pressure of the feed during transportation can be effectively dispersed, and the possibility of feed accumulation in a certain area can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of blockage. Since the discharge ports 101 face opposite directions, the feed will form an interlaced flow path during transportation, which helps to break the static pressure of the feed in the pipeline and reduce blockage caused by feed humidity, viscosity or different particle sizes.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a base 5 is further included, which is fixed at the bottom of the mounting bin 1. The base 5 supports the mounting bin 1. More specifically, by arranging the base 5 to raise the feeding trough 302 to a certain height, cattle and sheep can maintain a more natural and comfortable posture when eating. This design helps to reduce neck fatigue or discomfort caused by animals lowering their heads to eat for a long time, thereby improving their eating efficiency and comfort.
[0035] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
