[0002] With the development of breeding industry, the breeding scale of chicken farms is also increasing. At present, chickens are raised in chicken cages, which are provided with feed troughs. Breeding personnel add feed to the feed troughs manually or by feeders for the chickens in the chicken cages to eat.
[0003] However, in the process of adding feed, the thickness of feed addition is prone to unevenness. In addition, due to the physiological characteristics of chickens eating, when eating, they will gather feed to the bottom edge of the feed trough near one side of the chicken cage, causing the feed to accumulate and clump for a long time, resulting in different feed intake of chickens in the entire chicken cage, causing large differences in the weight of each chicken, resulting in different egg sizes, and in disguised increase in breeding costs. Therefore, leveling the feed in the feed trough is one of the key factors to improve breeding standards. Utility Model Content

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood in combination with specific situations.
[0038] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0039] This embodiment relates to a material leveling device for leveling the feed in a feed trough. In terms of the overall structure, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the material leveling device of this embodiment includes: a material leveling part 1, a support arm 2, and a bracket 3.
[0040] Among them, the material leveling part 1 includes a grille 101 fixed to one end of the support arm 2, and a baffle 102 provided above the grille 101. The other end of the support arm 2 is connected to the bracket 3. When the bracket 3 is driven to move, the grille 101 can extend into the feed trough and move along the extension direction of the feed trough.
[0041] It can be understood that when the grille 101 is driven to move along a preset direction in the feed trough, the grille 101 stirs the feed in the feed trough to a certain extent, and the baffle 102 can push the feed in the higher - piled part of the feed trough, so that it moves along the feed trough and is evenly distributed in the feed trough.
[0042] As described above, through the arrangement of the grille 101 and the baffle 102, when the grille 101 and the baffle 102 are driven by the support arm 2 to move, the grille 101 can stir the feed in the feed trough, and the baffle 102 can push part of the feed to make the feed evenly distributed in the feed trough, thereby improving the effect of leveling the feed.
[0043] Based on the above overall introduction, specifically, for the grille 101 of this embodiment, from the extension direction of the feed trough, the left and right sides of the grille 101 are bent towards the preset direction, so that the whole grille 101 has a certain curvature, and the concave surface of the grille 101 faces the preset direction. It can be understood that when the grille 101 is driven to move along the preset direction in the feed trough, the arc - shaped grille 101 can converge the feed, preventing part of the feed from being easily piled up on both sides of the grille 101 when leveling the feed, thereby reducing the leveling effect. When the leveling device of this embodiment is in use, the support 3 is driven to move manually or by a driving mechanism to drive the support 3 to move, so that the leveling part 1 on the support arm 2 can move from one end of the feed trough to the other end along the preset direction, thereby leveling the feed in the feed trough. After most of the feed after leveling is eaten, the support 3 is then operated to drive the leveling part 1 back to the initial position.
[0044] In order to ensure that the leveling part 1 can stay in the feed trough for leveling, the support arm 2 of this embodiment includes a connecting rod 201 fixedly connected to the support 3, and a rotating rod 202 rotatably connected to the connecting rod 201. The leveling part 1 is arranged at one end of the rotating rod 202 away from the support 3, and a tension spring 203 is connected between the rotating rod 202 and the connecting rod 201. When the rotating rod 202 is rotated to move the leveling part 1 away from the support 3, the tension spring 203 is stretched and stores energy. By setting the connecting rod 201, the rotating rod 202 and the tension spring 203, the tension spring 203 can pull one end of the rotating rod 202, so that the leveling part 1 is always kept in the feed trough under the action of the tension spring 203 for leveling the feed. And due to the setting of the tension spring 203, the lower edge of the grille 101 can abut against the bottom of the feed trough, so that the grille 101 can stir the feed at the bottom of the feed trough to a certain extent, thereby improving the leveling effect.
[0045] To facilitate the movement of the material leveling device in this embodiment, a freely rotatable pulley 204 is sleeved on the connecting rod 201 of this embodiment, and the pulley 204 can be lapped on the side wall of the feed trough. It can be understood that since the feed trough is arranged on the chicken coop and the material leveling device is arranged on the side wall of the feed trough far from the chicken coop, through the arrangement of the pulley 204, the material leveling device can be erected on the feed trough and can move smoothly, thereby facilitating the driving of the material leveling device to move and facilitating the material leveling operation.
[0046] Due to the existence of the baffle 102, during each material leveling process, the baffle 102 will push the excessive feed, and finally the maximum thickness of the feed in the feed trough always remains a certain amount. In order to be able to adjust the maximum amount of feed that can be held in the feed trough, the baffle 102 of this embodiment is movably connected above the grille 101. When the baffle 102 is operated to move in the height direction, the distance between the lower edge of the baffle 102 and the bottom of the feed trough is changed. By the movable setting of the baffle 102, changing the distance between the lower edge of the baffle 102 and the bottom of the feed trough can change the capacity of the feed held in the feed trough, so as to facilitate adjustment according to the feed demand in the actual breeding process.
[0047] To achieve the movable setting of the baffle 102, as Figure 2 shown, and to improve the fixing effect of the baffle 102, a chute 1021 is provided on the baffle 102 of this embodiment, and a bolt 1022 is provided on the support arm 2. The bolt 1022 is slidably arranged in the chute 1021, so that the baffle 102 can move along the extending direction of the chute 1021. Through the cooperative setting of the bolt 1022 and the chute 1021, the baffle 102 can be moved, and the length of the chute 1021 is the stroke of the movement of the baffle 102. At the same time, by tightening the bolt 1022, the baffle 102 can be tightly pressed on the support arm 2, that is, the rotating rod 202, and is arranged above the grille 101 plate, thereby improving the fixing effect on the baffle 102.
[0048] In the chicken raising environment of the chicken coop, a large amount of chicken feathers will accumulate in the feed trough. In order to remove the chicken feathers in the feed trough and keep the feed trough clean, a cleaning brush 205 is provided on the side of the support arm 2 facing the feed trough. Through the setting of the cleaning brush 205, during the process of the material leveling part 1 moving for material leveling, the cleaning brush 205 can sweep across the top of the feed, so that the chicken feathers in the feed adhere to the bristles of the cleaning brush 205. And during the reset process of the material leveling part 1, the bristles following the material leveling part 1 can clean the chicken feathers in the feed trough and sweep the chicken feathers to one end of the feed trough, so as to facilitate the breeding personnel to clean.
[0049] In addition, existing chicken coops are usually "H"-shaped or "A"-shaped chicken coops. In the height direction, there are multiple chicken coops arranged in a stacked manner in the chicken house, as well as feed troughs. In order to level the feed in multiple feed troughs simultaneously, thereby improving the leveling efficiency, the support arms 2 of this embodiment are configured to be multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket 3, and a leveling portion 1 is provided on each support arm 2. When the bracket 3 is driven to move, each leveling portion 1 can respectively extend into multiple feed troughs and move along the extension direction of each feed trough. Through the arrangement of the multiple support arms 2 and the leveling portions 1 thereon, during the process of driving the bracket 3 to move, the feed in multiple feed troughs can be leveled simultaneously, thereby improving the leveling efficiency of the feed in each feed trough.
[0050] In addition, during the breeding process, in order to ensure the health of chickens, medicines need to be added to the feed. To add medicines to the feed, a method of directly dripping the liquid medicine into the feed in the feed trough is usually adopted. To facilitate the addition of the liquid medicine, a medicine adding device for adding the liquid medicine to the feed trough is provided in this embodiment. The medicine adding device includes a shunt 4 provided on the bracket 3 and a plurality of hoses 5 connected to the shunt 4. The hoses 5 are configured to be multiple and corresponding to each support arm 2 one by one. The liquid medicine entering the shunt 4 flows into each feed trough through each hose 5. Through the arrangement of the shunt 4 and the hoses 5, the liquid medicine flows from the medicine bottle into the liquid inlet of the shunt 4, and then the liquid medicine is shunted into each hose 5 and flows into the feed in the feed trough, thereby facilitating the addition of the liquid medicine to each feed trough. In specific implementation, the liquid outlet end of the hose 5 points to the corresponding feed trough. To fix the liquid outlet end, the liquid outlet end of the hose 5 penetrates through the rotating rod 202 and points to the feed trough.
[0051] In summary, for the leveler of this embodiment, through the arrangement of the grille 101 and the baffle 102, when the grille 101 and the baffle 102 are driven by the support arm 2 to move, the grille 101 can stir the feed in the feed trough, and the baffle 102 can push part of the feed to make the feed evenly distributed in the feed trough, thereby improving the leveling effect of the feed and having good practicability.
[0052] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
