Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of breeding equipment, in particular to a hanging hopper feeder. Background Art

[0002] In existing chicken farms, feed delivery plays a vital role. It is not only a daily management task, but also a core factor that determines the health, growth and breeding efficiency of chickens. As the main source of nutrition for the growth and development of chickens, the rationality, accuracy and timeliness of feed delivery need to be carefully considered and strictly implemented. Its rationality, accuracy and timeliness are directly related to the growth and development of chickens and the breeding efficiency. Therefore, attention should be paid to feed delivery management to ensure that each chicken can get enough nutritional support to achieve healthy growth and high yield and efficiency.

[0003] In existing chicken farms, feed delivery is a crucial link, which is directly related to the growth and development of chickens and breeding benefits. However, most chicken farms still use the traditional method of manual feed delivery, that is, pouring or scattering feed directly into the trough of the chicken cage. Although this method meets the basic needs of chickens to a certain extent, its disadvantages are gradually highlighted in the case of multi-layer chicken cages or a large number of chicken cages. First, the labor intensity of manual feed delivery is extremely high. In multi-layer chicken cages, breeders need to climb layer by layer and deliver feed to each chicken cage one by one, which not only requires a lot of physical strength and time, but also faces the risk of fatigue and injury during the long labor process. At the same time, for large farms with a large number of chicken cages, completing the task of feeding all chicken cages will be an arduous task, which greatly increases the labor intensity of breeders. Secondly, the manual feed delivery method is inefficient. Since breeders need to deliver feed layer by layer, the entire feed delivery process takes a long time and is easily affected. The influence of factors such as the fatigue level and technical level of the breeder leads to unstable feeding speed and difficulty in ensuring the timeliness of feed feeding, which not only affects the feeding effect of the chickens, but may also have an adverse impact on the production progress and economic benefits of the farm. In addition, the manual feeding method is also prone to uneven feed distribution. During the feeding process, it is difficult for the breeder to ensure that the amount of feed in each trough is exactly the same, especially in multi-layer chicken cages. Due to the limitations of height and angle, it is more likely to have uneven feed distribution, which causes some chickens to be unable to eat enough and affect their growth and development, while other chickens may be wasted due to excessive feed. At the same time, uneven feed distribution may also cause fighting and trampling between chickens, increasing the losses and risks of the farm. Finally, the manual feeding method also has safety hazards. In multi-layer chicken cages, breeders need to climb and move frequently, which increases the risk of accidental falls and injuries. At the same time, dust and feed splashing may also occur during the feeding process, posing a threat to the health and safety of breeders. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the feeding can also be controlled by adjusting the parameters of the driving component. The moving speed and feeding amount of the machine hopper can meet the feed needs of chickens at different growth stages. The breeder only needs to perform simple operations to realize automatic feed feeding. In addition, the structure of the feeder is relatively simple, the components are tightly connected and easy to maintain, which reduces the maintenance cost and difficulty. Compared with the traditional manual feeding method, the feeder avoids the risk of frequent climbing and moving of the breeder, and reduces the possibility of accidental falls and injuries. At the same time, since the breeder's direct participation in the feed feeding process is reduced, the impact of safety hazards such as dust flying and feed splashing on the breeder's health is also reduced. In summary, the hanging hopper feeder effectively solves the problems existing in the traditional manual feeding method through automated and uniform feed feeding, and improves the production efficiency and economic benefits of chicken farms.

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0039] Combination Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a hanging hopper feeder of the utility model comprises a chicken cage frame 1 with one end placed on the ground, wherein the chicken cage frame 1 is provided with a plurality of chicken cages 2 and feeding troughs 3 which are vertically equidistantly distributed, and the number and distribution position of the feeding troughs 3 are adapted to the chicken cage 2.

[0040] The guide rail beam 4 is fixedly mounted on the chicken cage frame 1;

[0041] A driving assembly 5 is arranged on the chicken cage frame 1;

[0042] The feeder travel bracket 6 is arranged on the guide rail beam 4 and connected to the driving assembly 5, wherein the feeder travel bracket 6 can be displaced along the length direction of the guide rail beam 4 under the drive of the driving assembly 5;

[0043] The feeder hopper 7 is arranged on the feeder walking bracket 6 and is filled with feed. The overall quantity and distribution position of the feeder hopper 7 are adapted to the trough 3. The feeder hopper 7 can be displaced synchronously with the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6 to evenly feed the feed into the trough 3 to complete the loading of the trough 3.

[0044] The feeder is based on a chicken cage frame 1 with one end placed on the ground, on which are arranged a number of chicken cages 2 and matching feeding troughs 3 which are evenly distributed vertically. This design ensures that each chicken has an independent feeding trough to obtain food. In order to solve the problems of high labor intensity, low efficiency and uneven distribution of manual feed, the feeder introduces a guide rail beam 4 as a guide for the feeding path. The guide rail beam 4 is fixedly mounted on the chicken cage frame 1, providing a stable and clear trajectory for the movement of the feeder. The drive component 5 is used as a power source, which is arranged on the chicken cage frame 1 and is connected to the feeder walking bracket 6. Under the drive of the drive component 5, the feeder walking bracket 6 can be precisely displaced along the length direction of the guide rail beam 4. This design enables the feeder to move according to the preset The feeder hopper 7 moves along the designated route and speed, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of feed delivery. The feeder hopper 7 is arranged on the feeder walking bracket 6, and is filled with feed. The overall quantity and distribution position of the feeder hopper are adapted to the trough 3, ensuring that there is a corresponding feeder hopper 7 above each trough 3. When the driving component 5 drives the feeder walking bracket 6 to move, the feeder hopper 7 will also be displaced synchronously, so as to realize uniform feeding of the trough 3. During the whole feeding process, the breeder only needs to perform simple operation and control to realize automatic delivery of feed, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the breeder and improves the efficiency and uniformity of feed delivery. At the same time, since the direct participation of the breeder is reduced, the impact of safety hazards such as accidental falling and flying dust on the health of the breeder is also reduced.

[0045] In summary, the hanging hopper feeder drives the feeder walking bracket 6 to move along the guide rail crossbeam 4 through the driving component 5, thereby achieving precise correspondence and synchronous displacement between the feeder hopper 7 and the trough 3, thereby efficiently and evenly completing the feed delivery work. This working principle effectively solves the problems existing in the traditional manual feed delivery method mentioned in the background technology, and improves the production efficiency and economic benefits of the chicken farm.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figures 1 to 7As shown; the guide rail crossbeam 4 and the chicken cage frame 1 are arranged perpendicular to each other, wherein a track 8 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the guide rail crossbeam 4, and the track 8 is distributed along the length direction of the chicken cage frame 1, and the overall length is the same as the length of the chicken cage frame 1, and a running wheel 9 is fixedly installed on the feeder walking bracket 6, wherein the running wheel 9 is placed on the outside of the track 8 and is adapted to the track 8. The vertical arrangement of the guide rail crossbeam 4 and the chicken cage frame 1 ensures that the feeder hopper 7 can move in a direction parallel to the chicken cage body 2, thereby achieving accurate delivery of each trough 3. This vertical arrangement not only improves the stability of the feeder, but also helps to reduce the shaking caused by movement, thereby ensuring the delivery of feed. Uniformity, the track 8 installed on the side surface of the guide beam 4 provides a clear path and support for the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6, and the track 8 is distributed along the length direction of the chicken cage frame 1, and the overall length is the same as the length of the chicken cage frame 1, which means that the feeder walking bracket 6 can move within the entire length of the chicken cage frame 1, covering the positions of all feeding troughs 3, and the walking wheels 9 fixedly installed on the feeder walking bracket 6 are adapted to the track 8 to ensure that the feeder walking bracket 6 can move smoothly along the track 8. The design of the walking wheel 9 reduces the friction between the feeder walking bracket 6 and the track 8, making the feeder smoother during movement and reducing energy loss and wear.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown; the drive assembly 5 includes:

[0048] The mounting frame 51 is fixedly mounted on the chicken cage frame 1, and two mounting frames are provided, which are respectively distributed on both sides of the chicken cage frame 1;

[0049] The electric drive wheel 52 is fixedly mounted on one of the mounting frames 51, and a steel wire rope 53 is arranged on its retractable end. During the specific operation, the electric drive wheel 52 releases the wire at one end and retracts the wire at the other end. The retracted steel wire rope 53 is also wound around the electric drive wheel 52, so that the feeding machine walking bracket 6 is driven to move by the retractable wire of the steel wire rope 53. The specific structure and working principle are all prior art and are common knowledge of those skilled in the art. No further optimization of this structure is made in this application and no further description is required.

[0050] A passive wheel 54 is fixedly mounted on another mounting frame 51, wherein the steel wire rope 53 is wound around the outer side of the passive wheel 54; and

[0051] The winch 55 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the wire rope 53 and one side surface of the winch is fixedly connected to the feeder walking bracket 6. The mounting frame 51 is fixed on both sides of the chicken cage frame 1, ensuring the stability and firmness of the drive assembly 5. This double-sided layout also helps to maintain the balance of the feeder when it moves, reducing shaking and errors. Secondly, the electric drive wheel 52 is fixedly mounted on one of the mounting frames 51 as a power source. By controlling the retraction and extension action of the electric drive wheel 52, the operation of the wire rope 53 can be accurately controlled, thereby driving the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6 and the feeder hopper 7. This electric drive method not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces manual operation. In order to avoid cumbersomeness and errors, a passive wheel 54 is installed on another mounting frame 51, and the wire rope 53 is wound around its outside, which plays a role in changing the direction of the wire rope 53 and increasing the tension. Through the cooperation of the passive wheel 54, it can be ensured that the wire rope 53 maintains a constant tension and direction when pulling the feeder walking bracket 6, further improving the stability and accuracy of the feeder movement. Finally, the capstan 55 is fixedly installed on the outside of the wire rope 53, and one side surface of the capstan 55 is fixedly connected to the feeder walking bracket 6. This connection method ensures that the wire rope 53 can directly drive the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6, and also makes the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6 more stable and reliable.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figures 1 to 7As shown; a travel switch collision block 10 and a travel switch body 11 located near the passive wheel 54 are fixedly installed on another mounting frame 51, and the travel switch collision block 10 and the travel switch body 11 are electrically connected to the electric drive wheel 52. By installing the travel switch collision block 10 and the travel switch body 11 near the passive wheel 54 and electrically connecting them to the electric drive wheel 52, this design significantly improves the automation level and operation accuracy of the feeder. The combination of the travel switch collision block 10 and the travel switch body 11 constitutes a simple position detection mechanism. When the feeder walking bracket 6 and the feeder hopper 7 are driven by the electric drive wheel 52 to move to the preset limit position, the travel switch collision block 10 will touch the travel switch body 11, thereby triggering an electrical signal. This The electrical signal will be transmitted to the control system of the electric drive wheel 52 to stop it from working, thereby ensuring that the feeder travel bracket 6 and the feeder hopper 7 will not exceed the predetermined moving range. The advantage of this design is that it can not only prevent the feeder from being damaged or causing a safety accident due to excessive movement, but also ensure that the amount of feed delivered to each trough 3 is more accurate and uniform. By presetting different travel switch positions, the moving distance of the feeder travel bracket 6 and the feeder hopper 7 can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving accurate delivery to each trough 3. In addition, this automatic control system also greatly reduces the labor intensity of the breeder. The breeder only needs to set the position of the travel switch and start the feeder to automatically complete the feed delivery work without frequent inspection and adjustment.

[0053] The travel switch block 10 and the travel switch body 11 play a role of limiting and protecting in the hanging hopper feeder. The following is a specific description of them and a detailed description of the electrical connection between them and the electric drive wheel 52: Functions of the travel switch block 10 and the travel switch body 11: Travel switch block 10: This is a component fixed on the mounting frame 51 and located near the passive wheel 54. When the feeder walking bracket 6 of the feeder and the feeder hopper 7 thereon move to a specific position, the travel switch block 10 will collide with the travel switch body 11. The travel switch body 11 is a switching device with normally open and normally closed electrical contacts. When the travel switch block 10 collides with it, the action of the electrical contacts will be triggered, thereby changing the state of the circuit and the electrical connection with the electric drive wheel 52: Connection method: The travel switch body 11 is connected to the control circuit of the electric drive wheel 52 through a cable or other wires. When the travel switch block 10 When colliding with the travel switch body 11, the change in the state of the electrical contact will generate an electrical signal, which will be sent to the control circuit of the electric drive wheel 52. Control function: the control circuit of the electric drive wheel 52 will receive and analyze the electrical signal, and judge whether the position of the feeder has reached the preset limit position according to the content of the signal. If the limit position is reached, the control circuit will immediately cut off or change the power supply of the electric drive wheel 52, thereby stopping or changing its movement state to prevent the feeder from continuing to move and possible damage or safety accidents. The travel switch collision block 10 and the travel switch body 11 are important safety devices in the hanging hopper feeder, which are used to limit the movement range of the feeder and protect it from damage. The electrical connection between them and the electric drive wheel 52 is realized through cables or other wires to ensure that when the feeder reaches the preset position, the power supply of the electric drive wheel 52 can be quickly and accurately cut off or changed, thereby achieving precise control of the feeder.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown; the feeder hopper 7 comprises:

[0055] The hopper body 71 is fixedly mounted on the feeder walking frame 6 and is filled with feed, and its overall quantity and distribution position are adapted to the trough 3;

[0056] A discharge hopper 72 is fixedly mounted on the hopper body 71 and communicated with the hopper body 71, and a discharge end thereof is located above the trough 3; and

[0057] The control valve 73 is arranged on the discharge hopper 72, and is used to adjust the discharge flow rate of the feed. A key control mechanism is introduced in the working principle of the hanging hopper feeder, namely the design of the feeder hopper 7, especially the combination of the discharge hopper 72 and the control valve 73. This design not only optimizes the feed delivery method, but also improves the uniformity and accuracy of feed delivery. In the background technology, the traditional manual feed delivery method often has problems such as uneven feed distribution, serious waste, and high labor intensity of the breeder. This design is proposed to solve these problems. Specifically, the feeder hopper 7 includes three parts: a hopper body 71, a discharge hopper 72 and a control valve 73. The hopper body 71 is fixedly mounted on the feeder walking bracket 6, and is filled with feed. The amount and distribution position of the feed are adapted to the trough 3 to ensure that there is a corresponding hopper body 71 above each trough 3. The discharge hopper 72 is fixedly mounted on the hopper body 71 and is connected to the hopper The main body 71 is interconnected, and its discharge end is located above the trough 3, so that the feed can fall directly into the trough 3. The control valve 73 is set on the discharge hopper 72 to adjust the discharge flow rate of the feed. By controlling the opening and closing degree of the valve 73, the feed delivery speed and delivery amount can be accurately controlled, thereby ensuring that the feed in each trough 3 is evenly distributed and sufficient. The advantage of this design is that it can adjust the feed delivery amount according to actual needs, avoiding the problem of feed waste or chickens not eating enough due to excessive or insufficient delivery. At the same time, since the feed is evenly delivered through the control valve 73, the feed distribution in each trough 3 will be more even, which helps to reduce the fighting and stress response between chickens. In addition, this design also reduces the labor intensity of the breeder. The breeder only needs to set the opening degree of the control valve 73 and start the feeder to automatically complete the feed delivery work without frequent inspection and adjustment.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown; a lower pulley component 12 is fixedly installed on one end of the feeder walking bracket 6 close to the ground, and the lower pulley component 12 is interconnected with the adjacent trough 3, and the lower pulley component 12 can be displaced synchronously with the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6, wherein the lower pulley component 12 can be displaced along the surface of the trough 3 when moving. This design enables the lower pulley component 12 to be displaced synchronously with the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the feeder during movement, and more importantly, the lower pulley component 12 can be displaced along the surface of the trough 3 when moving. This design not only reduces the direct friction between the feeder and the trough 3, reduces the wear and failure rate of the feeder, but also provides a smoother and more precise moving trajectory by sliding, which helps to ensure that the feed can be accurately delivered to the trough 3, avoiding the problem of feed waste or uneven delivery due to shaking or deviation.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown; a brush 13 is also fixedly installed on the surface of the feeder walking bracket 6, wherein the end of the brush 13 close to the track 8 is provided with a brush in contact with the track 8. When the hanging hopper feeder moves along the track 8, the dust, feed residues or other impurities accumulated on the track may affect its smooth operation and even cause malfunction. In addition, the cleanliness of the track is also directly related to the stability and service life of the feeder. The end of the brush 13 close to the track 8 is provided with a brush in contact with the track, which means that when the feeder moves along the track 8, the brush 13 will synchronously contact with the track 8 and clean its surface. This cleaning action can effectively remove dust, feed residues or other impurities on the track 8, ensure the cleanliness of the track 8, thereby improving the movement of the feeder Smoothness and stability. Through the cleaning action of the brush 13, the additional resistance to the movement of the feeder caused by impurities on the track 8 can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption and wear of the feeder. In addition, keeping the track 8 clean also helps to extend the service life of the feeder and the track 8. Since the brush 13 is fixedly mounted on the feeder walking bracket 6, it will automatically perform cleaning work as the feeder moves. This adaptive cleaning method does not require human intervention, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency and ease of use. Through the close contact between the brush 13 and the track 8, the stability of the feeder during movement can also be enhanced to a certain extent. This is because the contact surface of the brush 13 can provide a certain friction force to help the feeder maintain a smooth running track on the track 8.

[0060] The specific working principle of the utility model of a hanging hopper feeder is as follows:

[0061] The feeder is installed on a chicken cage frame 1. The core of its design lies in its automatic movement and precise feeding functions. The chicken cage frame 1 is provided with equally spaced chicken cages 2 and troughs 3. The position of each trough 3 corresponds to the feeder hopper 7, ensuring that the feed can be accurately and directly put into the trough. In order to achieve automatic movement, the guide rail beam 4 is vertically installed on the chicken cage frame 1, and the track 8 on its side surface provides a path for the movement of the feeder walking bracket 6. The feeder hopper 7 installed on the feeder walking bracket 6 can be synchronously displaced with the movement of the feeder walking bracket, ensuring the uniform feeding of the feed and driving the feeder to move smoothly. The moving assembly 5 is the key to the movement of the feeder, including a mounting frame 51, an electric driving wheel 52, a driven wheel 54 and a winch 55. The electric driving wheel 52 is connected to the driven wheel 54 through a wire rope 53, and is connected to the feeder walking bracket 6 through the winch 55, thereby driving the feeder walking bracket 6 to move along the track 8. The feeder hopper 7 is composed of a hopper body 71, a discharge hopper 72 and a control valve 73. The hopper body 71 is filled with feed, and the feed is evenly delivered to the trough 3 below through the discharge hopper 72. The control valve 73 can adjust the discharge flow rate of the feed to ensure the accuracy and uniformity of the feed delivery.

[0062] In order to improve stability and cleanliness, a lower pulley member 12 is installed on the side of the feeder running bracket 6 close to the ground, which contacts the surface of the trough 3 to ensure the stability of the feeder during movement. At the same time, a brush 13 is also installed on the feeder running bracket 6, which contacts the track 8 to remove dust and impurities on the track to ensure the smooth operation of the feeder.

[0063] In terms of safety and control, the travel switch block 10 and the travel switch body 11 are electrically connected to the electric drive wheel 52. When the feeder travel bracket 6 moves to the preset position, the travel switch block 10 triggers the travel switch body 11, sends a signal to the electric drive wheel 52 to stop or change the working state, and ensures that the feeder moves within the preset range, avoiding the risk of exceeding the working range or collision.

[0064] In summary, the hanging hopper feeder achieves automatic and uniform feed delivery through its unique design and configuration, significantly improves the automation level of the chicken farm, and reduces the tediousness and labor intensity of manual operation.
