[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a yak feeder, including a protective shell 5. Inside the protective shell 5, there is a drawer 12, and inside the drawer 12, there are multiple storage hoppers 13 for storing forage. One end of the protective shell 5 is provided with multiple notches 8, and outside the notches 8, there is a baffle 7 in an inverted U shape. One end of the baffle 7 is welded to one end of the protective shell 5. At the top end inside the baffle 7, a first infrared detector 6 is installed. Near one end of the notch 8 inside the protective shell 5, there is a fixed installation box 10, and at one end of the installation box 10, an electric push rod 11 is installed. The output end of the electric push rod 11 extends into the installation box 10 and is installed with a sliding block 17. Inside the sliding block 17, multiple through grooves 16 are horizontally opened. On one side inside each through groove 16, a second infrared detector 18 is installed. At both ends of the installation box 10, there are correspondingly arranged openings with the same size as the through grooves 16. At one end of the protective shell 5, there is an electrical control box 1 for controlling related electrical equipment;

[0022] At the top end of the protective shell 5, a feed hopper 4 is installed, and guide plates 9 are installed at both ends inside the protective shell 5;

[0023] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the forage is put into the feeding hopper 4. After being guided by the guiding plate 9, the forage falls into each storage hopper 13 for storage. Usually, the sliding block 17 blocks the installation box 10 and the notch 8, so that a closed space is formed inside the protective shell 5 to protect the forage. When the yak needs to eat, the yak moves to the baffle 7. The first infrared detector 6 detects that the yak blocks it. Then the electric push rod 11 pushes the sliding block 17 to move, causing the through groove 16 to align with the opening of the installation box 10. At this time, the yak can stretch its head into the protective shell 5 to eat the forage in the storage hopper 13. During this process, the baffle 7 also plays a certain role in shielding and protecting. When the yak finishes eating and leaves the baffle 7, the first infrared detector 6 can no longer detect the yak, and at the same time, the second infrared detector 18 can no longer detect the yak blocking. After both confirm that there is no error, the electric push rod 11 pulls the sliding block 17 back to its original position. The detection principles of the first infrared detector 6 and the second infrared detector 18 and the control of the electric push rod 11 all belong to the mature technologies in the prior art, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0024] A plurality of partition plates 19 are arranged between every two of the plurality of storage hoppers 13, and both ends of the partition plate 19 are welded to both ends inside the pull-out hopper 12 respectively. A plurality of first spring telescopic rods 14 are arranged below the storage hopper 13, and the bottom ends of the first spring telescopic rods 14 are fixed to the bottom end inside the pull-out hopper 12;

[0025] The cross-section of the bottom end inside the storage hopper 13 is bowl-shaped, and the height of the outer side of the bottom end inside the storage hopper 13 is higher than the height of the middle part of the bottom end inside the storage hopper 13;

[0026] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, when there is more forage, its weight is greater. Therefore, the first spring telescopic rod 14 will be pressed down by a certain distance. As the forage is continuously eaten, its total weight decreases, and the first spring telescopic rod 14 can slowly reset, causing the storage hopper 13 to be lifted. In this way, the height of the forage can be increased, and at the same time, the forage will also gather in the middle of the storage hopper 13. In this way, even when there is less forage, the yak can easily eat the forage.

[0027] Guide blocks are installed on both sides of the pull-out hopper 12. Corresponding positions on the inner wall of the protective shell 5 are horizontally provided with guide grooves for the guide blocks to slide. A plurality of idler rollers 15 are installed at the bottom end inside the protective shell 5, and the top ends of the idler rollers 15 are in contact with the bottom end of the pull-out hopper 12;

[0028] One end of the pull-out hopper 12 extends to one end of the protective shell 5, and a sealing plate 3 is fixed to one end of the pull-out hopper 12. A handle is installed on one side of the sealing plate 3, and a locking component is arranged above the sealing plate 3 to limit the position of the sealing plate 3;

[0029] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 andFigure 4 As shown, the drawer 12 can be drawn out from the protective shell 5 by pulling out the sealing plate 3, so that the residual grass inside can be processed and the containing bucket 13 can be cleaned to prevent the food from being piled up for a long time and becoming corrupt.

[0030] The locking assembly includes a plurality of card slots 24, and the plurality of card slots 24 are opened at the top of the sealing plate 3. A corresponding number of fixed boxes 2 are installed on one side of the protective shell 5, and a moving bar 21 is slidably installed inside the fixed box 2, and a card block 23 is fixed at the bottom end of the moving bar 21, and the bottom end of the card block 23 extends to the inside of the card slot 24, and two second spring telescopic rods 20 are fixed at the top of the moving bar 21, and the top of the second spring telescopic rod 20 is fixed to the top of the fixed box 2, and a lever 22 is fixed on one side of the moving bar 21, and one end of the lever 22 extends to the outside of the fixed box 2;

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, after the pull-out bucket 12 is sent to the interior of the protective shell 5, the thrust of the second spring telescopic rod 20 causes the movable bar 21 to move down to the maximum stroke, so that the block 23 can be inserted into the slot 24, thereby limiting the position of the sealing plate 3 and ensuring the stability of the pull-out bucket 12. Conversely, manually pushing the lever 22 can cause the movable bar 21 to overcome the second spring telescopic rod 20 and move up, thereby causing the block 23 to temporarily disengage from the slot 24.

[0032] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
