Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, and in particular to an intelligent feeder for a pig farm. Background Art

[0002] At present, my country's pig farming is changing from the traditional farmer's scattered farming model to the factory-based, large-scale, and intensive farming model in large farms. The centralized farming method can strengthen the monitoring of the pig population while providing a good living environment for the pigs, so that the farms can improve economic benefits and achieve welfare pig farming. For large-scale pig farming, effective management is directly related to economic benefits, and scientific and reasonable feeding is particularly critical. Realizing personalized precision feeding not only helps to reduce feed waste, but also promotes the healthy growth of pigs.

[0003] As more and more pig farms adopt centralized breeding methods for feeding. In order to reduce labor, automated feeding equipment is often used. This equipment can provide feed to pigs at a set time and amount without human intervention. Compared with traditional methods, it shows the advantages of high automation and greatly saves labor costs. However, existing feeders often provide feed to pigs according to the above-mentioned set time and amount, and have a great lack of precision control over the amount of feed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is to provide an intelligent feeder for a pig farm, which is convenient for automatic feeding and can improve feeding accuracy.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an intelligent feeder for pig farms, comprising:

[0006] Shell, unloading mechanism, drive motor and controller;

[0007] The shell is provided with a feed port for connecting to an external barrel and a discharge port coaxially arranged with the feed port;

[0008] The feeding mechanism is arranged in the shell and located between the feeding port and the discharging port. The feeding mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a plurality of strip blades and a pair of limiting rings. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the shell on both sides in opposite directions. The two limiting rings are respectively sleeved on both sides of the length direction of the rotating shaft. Each strip blade is arranged between the two limiting rings and fixed on the rotating shaft. The strip blades are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft and extend along the length direction of the rotating shaft, so that a holding groove for placing a fixed amount of feed is formed between each two adjacent strip blades and the two limiting rings. The rotating shaft is connected to the driving motor.

[0009] The controller is electrically connected to the drive motor and is used to control the drive motor.

[0010] When the utility model is in use, the feed port is connected to the external barrel, and feed is added to the external barrel. When feeding is needed, the controller controls the driving motor to drive the unloading mechanism in the shell to operate. Each containing groove is evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft, so there is always a containing groove facing the feed port. When feed enters the external barrel from the feed port, a fixed amount of feed will flow into the containing groove, and the rotation of the rotating shaft will drive the containing groove containing the feed to rotate downward, so that the feed in the containing groove flows downward due to gravity and goes out from the discharging port. When the rotating shaft rotates continuously, it will drive all the containing grooves to contain and pour out in turn, thereby achieving the effect of improving the feeding accuracy, so that the feed in the external barrel will control the unloading amount of the feed through the unloading mechanism, so that the unloading amount flows out from the discharging port more accurately, which is convenient for automatic unloading and can improve the feeding accuracy.

[0011] Furthermore, the shell has a cylindrical structure; the unloading mechanism also includes a pair of stirring shafts for scraping feed off the inner wall of the shell, and the two stirring shafts are respectively arranged on both sides of the radial direction of the rotating shaft and extend along the length direction of the rotating shaft; the two ends of the two stirring shafts are respectively fixed to the outer peripheral walls on both sides of the length direction of the rotating shaft; the two stirring shafts are both higher than the outer edges of each strip blade and the limit ring.

[0012] The stirring shaft can further provide stirring force for stirring the feed, and can cause the feed on the inner wall of the shell to be scraped off by the stirring shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, an extension portion of a cylindrical structure is provided at one axial end of the shell, an opening is provided at one end of the extension portion away from the shell, and the drive motor and the controller are both arranged in the extension portion; a through hole connected to the interior of the extension portion is provided on the side wall of the shell close to the extension portion, the drive motor is fixed on the side wall, the drive end of the drive motor is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft, and the drive end of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft through the through hole.

[0014] The cylindrical structure can make the shell and the extension part more comfortable to hold when in use. The opening is used for placing the drive motor and the controller. The drive motor and the controller are arranged in the extension part to separate the dry and wet feed in the shell without affecting each other.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a pair of end covers, and the two end covers are respectively threadedly connected to the other end and the open end of the shell.

[0016] The end cover is used to isolate the interior of the extension part so that the drive motor and the controller will not fall out. The other end cover is used to reinforce the shell and form a certain support force for the rotation of the shaft.

[0017] Furthermore, the feed port protrudes upward to form a circle of threaded flange, a connecting pipe for connecting to an external barrel is threadedly connected to the flange, and an annular sealing gasket is fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the flange.

[0018] The connecting pipe provided above is equivalent to being able to adjust the length of the feed port by screwing in and out of the thread, and the annular sealing gasket can prevent water from leaking out.

[0019] Furthermore, a connection terminal for connecting an external electrical device is provided on the outer surface of the extension portion, and the connection terminal is electrically connected to the controller.

[0020] The wiring terminals provided above can be connected to external devices or electrical signal lines, which is convenient for practical use.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model.

[0033] This embodiment provides an intelligent feeder for a pig farm, comprising:

[0034] Shell 1, feeding mechanism 2, driving motor 3 and controller 4;

[0035] The housing 1 is provided with a feed port 11 for connecting to an external barrel and a discharge port 12 coaxially arranged with the feed port 11;

[0036] The feeding mechanism 2 is arranged in the housing 1 and is located between the feed port 11 and the discharge port 12. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 21, a plurality of strip blades 22 and a pair of limiting rings 23; the two ends of the rotating shaft 21 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the housing 1 on both sides in opposite directions, and the two limiting rings 23 are respectively sleeved on both sides of the length direction of the rotating shaft 21. Each strip blade 22 is arranged between the two limiting rings 23 and fixed on the rotating shaft 21. It is evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft 21 and extends along the length direction of the rotating shaft 21, so that a holding groove 24 for placing a fixed amount of feed is formed between each two adjacent strip blades 22 and the two limiting rings 23; the rotating shaft 21 is connected to the driving motor 3;

[0037] The controller 4 is electrically connected to the driving motor 3 and is used to control the driving motor 3 .

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive motor 3 can be fixed on an external support member, or the shell 1 can be set larger in size, and the drive motor 3 and the unloading mechanism 2 can be set together in the shell 1; in this embodiment, the controller 4 can be set outside and electrically connected to the drive motor 3 through a lead wire; when in use, the feed port 11 of the shell 1 needs to be fixed to the discharge port of the external barrel, and those skilled in the art can flexibly choose existing technologies for fixing; the feed port 11 is connected to the external barrel; as shown in the attached Figure 4As shown, if it is necessary to change the capacity of the holding groove 24, in addition to adjusting the spacing between the strip blades 22, the middle part of each strip blade 22 can also be set to a downwardly bent shape, so that the capacity of the holding groove 24 will be appropriately increased. Conversely, the middle part of each strip blade 22 can also be set to an upwardly bent shape, so that the capacity of the holding groove 24 will be appropriately reduced; the above-mentioned holding grooves 24 are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft 21, so there is always a holding groove 24 facing the feed inlet 11. When feed enters the external barrel from the feed inlet 11, a fixed amount of feed will flow into the holding groove 24. The rotation of the rotating shaft 21 will drive the holding groove 24 containing the feed to rotate downward, so that the feed in the holding groove 24 flows downward due to gravity and goes out from the discharge port 12. When the rotating shaft 21 continues to rotate, it will drive all the holding grooves 24 to hold and pour out in turn, thereby achieving the effect of improving feeding accuracy.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the shell 1 is of a cylindrical structure; the unloading mechanism 2 also includes a pair of stirring shafts 25 for scraping off the feed on the inner wall of the shell 1, and the two stirring shafts 25 are respectively arranged on both sides of the radial direction of the rotating shaft 21 and extend along the length direction of the rotating shaft 21; the two ends of the two stirring shafts 25 are respectively fixed to the outer peripheral walls on both sides of the length direction of the rotating shaft 21; the two stirring shafts 25 are both higher than the outer edges of each strip blade 22 and the limit ring 23.

When the rotating shaft 21 rotates, the feed will be adhered to the inner wall of the shell 1 under the pressure of the strip blade 22 and the inner wall of the shell 1. This situation will not only cause waste of feed, but also affect the feeding accuracy to a certain extent. At the same time, the feed attached to the inner wall of the shell 1 will also generate resistance to hinder the operation of the strip blade 22.

[0044] Specifically, the end cover 15 is used to isolate the interior of the extension portion 13 to prevent the drive motor 3 and the controller 4 from falling out, and the other end cover 15 is used to reinforce the housing 1 and play a certain supporting role on the rotating shaft 21.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the feed port 11 protrudes upward to form a circle of threaded flange 111 , a connecting pipe 5 for connecting to an external barrel is threadedly connected to the flange 111 , and an annular sealing gasket 51 is fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the flange 111 .
