Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of duck breeding, in particular to a feeder for free-range ducks. Background Art
[0002] Poultry refers to bird animals that are artificially raised, mainly for their meat, eggs and feathers, but also for other uses. They are generally Phasianidae and Anatidae, such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc. There are also birds from other families such as turkeys, pigeons, quail and various songbirds. In addition to providing meat and eggs for humans, the feathers and feces of ducks also have important economic value, so feeding ducks is very important and requires a reasonable feeding device. Ducks need to use feeders when they are free-range, so that they can eat when they are hungry.
[0003] The feeding devices currently on the market have the disadvantage of feeding feed in the open air, which may be stolen by birds and mice, resulting in feed waste. In addition, when ducks eat feed, they will frequently drink water to facilitate swallowing, and part of the feed will fall into the water from their mouths when drinking water. The current feeders cannot collect the feed in the water in a centralized manner, which will also lead to feed waste. Therefore, a free-range duck feeder is proposed to address the above problems.

Then the duck can eat the feed inside the diet box 14, and the spilled feed will fall on the inside of the water tank 4 when eating the feed. When the duck drinks water, the feed that falls from the mouth will also fall into the inside of the water tank 4, and the fallen feed can be filtered out by the filter 5. Filtering is carried out to facilitate the centralized collection of feed, thereby saving feed. When the duck walks away from the pedal 3, the first side plate 22 will reset upward with the rack 21 under the elastic force of the second spring 23, and the rack 21 will also rotate counterclockwise with the gear 20. Then the gear 20 will reset with the cover plate 17 through the connecting shaft 19 and cover the top of the diet box 16. At the same time, the pedal 3 will reset upward under the elastic force of the first spring 2, waiting to be stepped on by the duck next time.
