Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of breeding equipment, and in particular relates to a feeding box walking mechanism for chicken breeding. Background Art

[0002] As the scale of chicken farming continues to expand, the importance of automated feeding systems has become increasingly prominent. This system not only improves farming efficiency, but also reduces labor costs, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the chicken farming industry;

[0003] The traditional feeding method requires manual handling, mixing and feeding of feed, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. The automated feeding system can automatically complete these tasks, reducing the tediousness and errors of manual operation and reducing breeding costs.

[0004] In view of the above, the present application provides a feed box walking mechanism for chicken farming. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a feed box walking mechanism for chicken farming, which can drive the feed box to move along the length extension direction of the cage body and simultaneously realize the feeding process of the feed trough, thereby realizing the automated feeding of chicken farming, improving the farming efficiency and reducing the labor cost.

[0006] A feeding box walking mechanism for chicken breeding, comprising a cage body for installing the walking mechanism, characterized in that a guide rail extending along the length direction of the cage body is provided at the upper end of the cage body, and the walking mechanism comprises a walking frame and a driving wheel engaged with the guide rail is installed on the walking frame;

[0007] The material box is installed on the walking frame, and auxiliary wheels are rotatably installed at the bottom of the material box, and the auxiliary wheels are in contact with the material trough installed on the cage body;

[0008] A vibration motor is arranged in the material box and observation windows are arranged on both sides of the material box.

[0009] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] (1) The walking mechanism in this scheme can drive the feed box to move along the extension direction of the cage body and simultaneously realize the process of refilling the feed trough, thereby realizing the automated feeding of chicken farming, improving farming efficiency and reducing labor costs;

[0011] (2) The walking mechanism in this scheme is provided with auxiliary wheels at the bottom that travel along the wall of the trough, which can further improve the stability of the material box when it is traveling (the contact between the auxiliary wheels and the wall of the trough can provide a certain degree of support for the material box and reduce the force between the driving wheel and the guide rail), thereby increasing its service life;

[0012] (3) In this solution, the auxiliary wheels arranged at the bottom of the walking mechanism drive the suction component to collect the feed dust generated during the feeding process as the feed box moves. Feeding reduces the amount of dust in the air in the chicken house, thereby improving the protection of the healthy breeding of the chickens. At the same time, it can also absorb the dust on the egg belt and eggs to prevent the eggs from being contaminated;

[0013] (4) During the movement of the feed machine, this solution installs a vibration motor in the feed box to evenly distribute the feed in the feed box and avoid stratification of the feed in the feed box. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The above and other technical contents, features and functions of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the attached Figures 1 to 6 It will be clearly presented in the detailed description of the embodiments that the structural contents mentioned in the following embodiments are all referenced to the drawings in the specification.

[0021] Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a walking mechanism for a feed box 21 for chicken breeding, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a cage 1 for installing a walking mechanism, and a material trough 5 is installed on one side of the cage 1. The improvement of this solution is that: a guide rail 2 arranged along the length extension direction of the cage 1 is provided at the upper end of the cage 1 (the guide rail 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the cage 1), a walking frame 20 of the walking mechanism and a driving wheel 3 is rotatably installed on the walking frame 20, and the driving wheel 3 and the guide rail 2 are clamped (such as Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 ), when the driving wheel 3 rotates, the traveling frame 20 can be driven to move along the guide rail 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, a feed box 21 is installed on the traveling frame 20, and a discharge port cooperating with the feed trough 5 is provided on the side of the feeding box 21 facing the cage body 1. When the driving wheel 3 drives the traveling frame 20 to move along the guide rail 2, the feeding box 21 is driven to move synchronously, so that the feed falls into the feed trough 5 through the discharge port, thereby completing the feeding process;

[0022] In order to improve the stability of the walking mechanism, Figure 1 As shown, an auxiliary wheel 4 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the material box 21 and the auxiliary wheel 4 rolls against the side wall of the lowest material trough 5 (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in the partial enlarged view on the left side of the figure), the auxiliary wheel 4 abuts against the side wall of the trough 5, on the one hand, a certain degree of support is achieved for the material box 21, and on the other hand, the rolling abutment between the auxiliary wheel 4 and the side wall of the trough 5 also reduces the resistance of the material box 21 during the movement of the walking frame 20. Note: The trough 5 in this solution is made of iron material, such as stainless steel, which is durable and easy to clean, and is corrosion-resistant, high in strength and has a long service life;

[0023] In this solution, accurate feeding is achieved by controlling the moving speed of the walking mechanism. When the walking mechanism carries the feed box 21 to complete feeding the chickens in the cage, the amount of feed put into the feed trough matches the feed intake of the chickens raised in the cage.

[0024] In order to prevent the feed in the feed box from being stratified, in this embodiment, a vibration motor (not shown in the figure) is installed in the feed box 21 to ensure that the feed in the feed box 21 can be evenly distributed.

[0025] Observation ports 24 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the feed box 21 , which help the breeder to clearly observe the remaining feed in the feed box 21 .

[0026] Example 2, based on Example 1, Figure 3 As shown, the driving wheel 3 is provided with a groove 6 coaxially along its circumference and matched with the guide rail 2. The setting of the groove 6 enables the driving wheel 3 to be clamped on the guide rail 2 (so that the driving wheel 3 can move along the guide rail 2 and will not be separated from the guide rail 2). The guide rail 2 in this solution can be made of galvanized square tubes, and the adjacent square tubes are fixedly connected by welding or self-tapping riveting. The guide rail 2 arranged along the length extension direction of the cage body 1 is formed by connecting multiple square tubes.

[0027] The driving wheel 3 is driven by a DC reduction motor installed on the traveling frame 20. A battery pack (not shown in the figure) is provided on the traveling frame 20 for providing electric energy to the DC reduction motor.

[0028] Embodiment 3, on the basis of embodiment 1, as Figure 1As shown, the upper end of the material box 21 is connected to the traveling frame 20 via a connecting beam 22, thereby achieving fixed installation between the material box 21 and the traveling frame 20, and the connecting beam 22 and the wall of the material box 21 are fixedly connected via bolts.

[0029] Example 4: When the feed is put into the feed trough 5 through the discharge port, fine feed particles will float in the air to form dust. The feed dust will affect the environment of the chicken house. The chickens will be exposed to the feed dust for a long time, and their respiratory mucosa will be irritated, causing an inflammatory reaction, resulting in symptoms such as snoring and dry coughing in the chickens. In addition, the feed dust may also contain harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, which may be transmitted through the air, increasing the risk of disease in the chickens.

[0030] In view of this, this embodiment makes further optimization and improvement on the basis of Embodiments 1-3, so as to realize the cleaning and collection of feed dust generated during the feeding process, as follows:

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a suction assembly is provided at the bottom of the material box 21 and the suction assembly is driven by an auxiliary wheel 4. Figure 3 As shown, a dust collection cylinder 8 is installed on the material box 21 and at a position corresponding to each material trough 5. A suction hole 9 is opened on the dust collection cylinder 8 facing the material trough 5. The dust collection cylinder 8 is connected to the suction assembly. When the material box 21 moves driven by the walking frame 20, the auxiliary wheel 4 rolls synchronously relative to the side wall of the material trough 5. As the auxiliary wheel 4 rolls, the suction assembly is driven to work. The suction assembly generates a negative pressure suction force in the dust collection cylinder 8, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in the partially enlarged view on the right side, the air containing feed dust in the surrounding space above the feed trough 5 is first sucked into the dust collection cylinder 8 and finally transferred to the suction component, thereby achieving the effect of collecting the feed dust generated during the feeding process.

[0032] Embodiment 5, on the basis of embodiment 4, as Figure 4 As shown, the suction assembly includes a suction cylinder 10 disposed at the bottom of the material box 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, a piston 11 is provided in the suction cylinder 10, and the piston 11 is connected to the auxiliary wheel 4 via a transmission assembly. As the auxiliary wheel 4 rolls, the piston 11 is driven by the transmission assembly to reciprocate in the suction cylinder 10;

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, first one-way tubes 12 connected to the dust collection cylinder 8 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the suction cylinder 10 (the two first one-way tubes 12 are connected to the converging cylinder 18, as shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown in the partial enlarged figure, the converging cylinder 18 is connected to the corresponding dust collecting cylinder 8), and a second one-way tube 13 is provided on both sides of the lower end of the suction cylinder 10. The first one-way tube 12 allows the gas to enter the suction cylinder 10 only from the outside, and the second one-way tube 13 allows the gas to be discharged from the suction cylinder 10 to the outside (the first one-way tube 12 and the second one-way tube 13 are opposite in conduction direction), and a one-way valve is provided on the one-way tube to realize the one-way conduction of the control pipeline (the one-way valve is a valve structure in the prior art and is not shown in the figure);

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, a connection port 19 is provided on the dust collection cylinder 8, and the connection ports 19 on the plurality of dust collection cylinders 8 arranged at intervals along the vertical direction are all connected to the corresponding convergence cylinder 18 (connected via a hose). When the auxiliary wheel 4 drives the piston 11 to reciprocate in the suction cylinder 10 under the action of the transmission assembly, assuming that the piston 11 moves to the left, air is sucked through the first one-way pipe 12 located on the right side, and negative pressure suction is generated in the plurality of dust collection cylinders 8 connected thereto, so that the feed dust in the surrounding space above the feed trough 5 is collected and sucked into the suction cylinder 10 located on the right side of the piston 11 (in this process, the gas in the space on the left side of the piston 11 is discharged outwardly through the second one-way pipe 13 located on the left side);

[0035] When the piston 11 moves to the right, air is sucked through the first one-way tube 12 on the left and negative pressure suction is generated in the dust collecting cylinders 8 connected thereto, so that the feed dust in the space above the trough 5 is collected and sucked into the suction cylinder 10 on the left side of the piston 11 (in this process, the gas in the space on the right side of the piston 11 is discharged outward through the second one-way tube 13 on the right side);

[0036] In this solution, two auxiliary wheels 4 are provided at the bottom of the material box 21, so two suction cylinders 10 and two transmission components are also provided. Figure 4 As shown, two dust cylinders 8 are provided at the same level, so that a plurality of dust cylinders 8 located vertically and on the same side are connected to a suction cylinder 10, that is, each suction cylinder 10 corresponds to a plurality of dust cylinders 8 on the same side, and two suction cylinders 10 are provided, thereby improving the suction efficiency of the air containing feed dust, and improving the cleaning and collection effect of the feed dust.

[0037] Embodiment 6, based on embodiment 5, this embodiment provides a specific structure of a transmission assembly, such as Figure 5As shown, the auxiliary wheel 4 is coaxially rotated with a small pulley 14, and the small pulley 14 is driven by a large pulley 15 via a belt 16. A connecting rod 23 is eccentrically installed on the large pulley 15, and the other end of the connecting rod 23 and the piston 11 are rotated and installed to extend outward from one end of the suction cylinder 10. As the auxiliary wheel 4 rolls, the piston 11 is driven to reciprocate in the suction cylinder 10 through the cooperation between the small pulley 14, the belt 16, the large pulley 15, and the connecting rod 23 (the cooperation between the small pulley 14 and the large pulley 15 is used to adjust the reciprocating travel of the piston 11 in the suction cylinder 10).

[0038] Embodiment 7, on the basis of Embodiment 5, in order to filter the gas containing feed dust drawn into the suction cylinder 10, this embodiment provides a water tank 17 (with a certain amount of water stored inside) at the bottom of the material box 21 and below the suction cylinder 10, and the ends of the second one-way tubes 13 are drawn into the water and submerged in the water. When the piston 11 reciprocates in the suction cylinder 10, the gas containing feed dust drawn into the suction cylinder 10 is discharged into the water through the two second one-way tubes 13, and the gas containing feed dust is discharged into the water, and the gas overflows from the water, while the feed dust is collected in the water, thereby filtering the feed dust in the gas.

[0039] Embodiment 8, on the basis of Embodiments 1-3, in addition to installing auxiliary wheels 4 at the position of the material box 21 corresponding to the material trough 5 at the bottom layer, this embodiment installs auxiliary wheels 4 at the position corresponding to each material trough 5 (the material trough 5 above the bottom layer trough 5) on the material box 21, thereby improving the supporting effect of the material box 21 and further improving the stability of the material box 21 when walking.
