Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chicken feeding, and particularly relates to a feed feeder for quantitative feeding of chickens. Background Art

[0002] The breeding industry, as one of the key ways to improve the quality of people's lives, widely covers the cultivation of various agricultural products such as chickens, ducks, and fish. Among them, the breeding of chickens is particularly crucial, which not only concerns the diversity of food supply but also directly affects the dining experience of consumers. For a long time, in order to reduce production costs, chickens have mostly been raised in a cage mode. However, although this intensive farming method is efficient, it sacrifices the quality of chicken meat, mainly due to the limited activity space and significantly reduced exercise volume of chickens.

[0003] In order to revive the freshness and nutrition of chicken meat, some breeders have begun to explore the free-range mode, aiming to promote muscle development and improve the texture of the meat by increasing the natural activities of chickens. However, both the traditional cage mode and the emerging free-range mode face a common challenge - how to feed quantitatively efficiently and hygienically.

[0004] The open feeding design adopted in traditional free-range farming, although seemingly simple and direct, actually has many drawbacks. Such feeders often rely on pipelines or other conveying mechanisms to directly pour the feed into the feeding trough or a specific area. This indiscriminate feeding method is likely to cause chickens to gather and scramble, which not only increases the risk of chickens getting injured but also contaminates the feed due to overcrowding and fighting. More seriously, the excretion behavior of chickens during the scramble directly destroys the cleanliness and uniformity of the feed, posing a potential threat to the health of the chicken flock.

[0005] Therefore, it is very necessary to invent a feed feeder for quantitative feeding of chickens. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a feed feeder for quantitative feeding of chickens, which includes a timing and quantitative feeder, a feeding window, and a breathable and rainproof cover. A plurality of the feeding windows are evenly distributed in a circular array below the timing and quantitative feeder; the breathable and rainproof cover is fixedly installed above the timing and quantitative feeder;

[0007] The timing and quantitative feeder includes a feeding bucket body, a material retention bottom plate, a timing and quantitative solenoid valve, a material distribution table, an oscillating plate, and a micro vibration motor. The feeding bucket body is fixedly installed with the feeding window and a breathable rain shield; the material retention bottom plate is fixedly installed inside the feeding bucket body, and the timing and quantitative solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the material retention bottom plate; the material distribution table is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the feeding bucket body. The oscillating plate is fixed to both the material distribution table and the feeding bucket body, and the micro vibration motor is fixedly installed on the oscillating plate;

[0008] The breathable rain shield includes a mounting base, a metal filter screen, a support column, and a rain shield. The mounting base is fixedly installed with the metal filter screen, the rain shield is fixed to the mounting base through the support column, and the mounting base is fixedly installed on the feeding bucket body.

[0009] Preferably, the outer surface above the feeding bucket body is provided with threads required for installing the mounting base, and the material retention bottom plate fixedly installed inside the feeding bucket body is located directly above the material distribution table.

[0010] Preferably, both the material retention bottom plate and the material distribution table are conical structures. The material distribution table is located between the feeding windows. The feeding window is composed of a barrel base, a feeding tube, and a rain shield. The barrel base is embedded in the feeding bucket body, and the barrel base is meshed and connected to one end of the feeding tube through threads. The other end of the feeding tube penetrates into the feeding bucket body. The barrel base and the rain shield are integrally arranged, and only the chicken head is allowed to enter the feeding window.

[0011] Preferably, the oscillating plate is located below the end of the feeding tube penetrating into the feeding bucket body, and the micro vibration motor is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the oscillating plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The present utility model abandons the traditional open feeding mechanism and innovatively adopts a window-independent feeding mechanism, and can prevent the feed that has not been fed from being polluted and eaten by external poultry while ensuring ventilation. Specifically, a plurality of feeding windows are evenly distributed in a circular array below the bucket body. These windows are evenly distributed in a circular array to ensure that each chicken can enjoy a fair and suitable feeding space. Each feeding window is carefully designed and optimized. Its uniqueness lies in that only the chicken head is allowed to extend in, effectively restricting the entry of the chicken body, thus avoiding the problems of feed grabbing and pollution caused by overcrowding of the chicken flock. In addition, a breathable rain shield is installed above the bucket body, which effectively protects the feed from being invaded by wind and rain, while ensuring air circulation, reducing the possibility of feed mildew, and effectively preventing external poultry from invading and polluting the feed that has not been fed.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1 to Figure 3 shown:

[0022] A feed feeder for quantitatively feeding chickens provided by the utility model includes a timing and quantitative feeder 1, a feeding window 2, and a breathable and rainproof cover 3. A plurality of the feeding windows 2 are evenly distributed in a circular array below the timing and quantitative feeder 1; the breathable and rainproof cover 3 is fixedly installed above the timing and quantitative feeder 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the timing and quantitative feeder 1 includes a feeding barrel body 11, a material retention bottom plate 12, a timing and quantitative solenoid valve 13, a material distribution table 14, an oscillation plate 15, and a micro vibration motor 16. The feeding barrel body 11 is fixedly installed with the feeding window 2 and the breathable and rainproof cover 3; the material retention bottom plate 12 is fixedly installed inside the feeding barrel body 11, and the timing and quantitative solenoid valve 13 is fixedly installed on the material retention bottom plate 12; the material distribution table 14 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the feeding barrel body 11, the oscillation plate 15 is fixed to the material distribution table 14 and the feeding barrel body 11 respectively, and the micro vibration motor 16 is fixedly installed on the oscillation plate 15.

[0024] Furthermore, the breathable and rainproof cover 3 includes a mounting base 31, a metal filter screen 32, a support column 33, and a rainproof cover 34. The metal filter screen 32 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 31, the rainproof cover 34 is fixed to the mounting base 31 through the support column 33, and the mounting base 31 is fixedly installed on the feeding barrel body 11.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the breathable and rainproof cover 3 can be stably installed on the feeding barrel body 11, threads matching the mounting base 31 are specially provided above the outer surface of the feeding barrel body 11. This makes the installation process more simple and fast, and also enhances the stability of the connection. In addition, a material retention bottom plate 12 is fixedly installed inside the feeding barrel body 11, and this bottom plate is located directly above the material distribution table 14, providing strong support for the accurate feeding and uniform distribution of the feed.

[0026] Furthermore, both the material retention bottom plate 12 and the material distribution table 14 adopt a conical structure design, which not only optimizes the flow path of the feed but also improves the dispersion efficiency of the feed. The material distribution table 14 is cleverly located between the feeding windows 2. When the feed is released from the material retention bottom plate 12, it can be quickly and evenly dispersed around each feeding window 2, reducing the accumulation and waste of the feed.

[0027] Furthermore, the feeding window 2 is the only channel for the chickens to obtain feed, and its design is directly related to the convenience and hygiene of feeding. The feeding window 2 is integrally composed of a barrel base, a feeding tube, and a rain shield. The barrel base is tightly connected to the feeding tube through threads and is embedded in the feeding barrel body 11, ensuring the structural stability and tightness. The other end of the feeding tube extends deep into the feeding barrel body 11 for direct feeding of the feed. The design of the rain shield effectively prevents rainwater from splashing into the feeding window 2, keeping the feed dry and clean. Most uniquely, the size of the feeding window 2 is carefully calculated to only allow the chicken's head to enter, effectively avoiding congestion and pollution caused by the chicken's body squeezing in.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to further improve the dispersion efficiency and uniformity of the feed, an oscillation plate 15 and a micro vibration motor 16 are also installed inside the feeding barrel body 11. The oscillation plate 15 is located below one end of the feeding tube penetrating into the feeding barrel body 11. When the micro vibration motor 16 is started, it will drive the oscillation plate 15 to generate slight vibrations, thereby promoting the uniform distribution and rapid falling of the feed. This design not only improves the feeding efficiency but also ensures that each chicken can obtain an adequate supply of feed.

[0029] The working principle is as follows: First, pour the feed into the feeding barrel body 11 of the timed and quantitative feeder 1 and temporarily stay on the material retaining bottom plate 12. The design of the material retaining bottom plate 12 ensures that the feed can accumulate stably before being put in and will not directly fall to the material distributing table 14 due to gravity. When the feed feeder for quantitative feeding of chickens starts to work, the timed and quantitative solenoid valve 13 controls the feeding of the feed according to the preset time and quantity value.

[0030] Then, when the set feeding time is reached, the timed and quantitative solenoid valve 13 opens, allowing the feed on the material retaining bottom plate 12 to fall through the opening thereon into the material distributing table 14 below. Since both the material retaining bottom plate 12 and the material distributing table 14 adopt a conical structure design, the feed quickly disperses along the inclined plane under the action of gravity and evenly flows to the periphery of each feeding window 2. This conical design not only optimizes the flow path of the feed but also improves the dispersion efficiency of the feed, reducing accumulation and waste.

[0031] Next, the feed continues to fall above the oscillation plate 15. At this time, if the micro vibration motor 16 is in the starting state (usually synchronized with or starts slightly later than the opening of the timed and quantitative solenoid valve 13), it will drive the oscillation plate 15 to generate slight and continuous vibrations. This vibration acts on the feed, further promoting the uniform distribution and rapid falling of the feed. Through the vibration of the oscillation plate 15, the feed can more smoothly enter the feeding area of the chickens through the feeding window 2, avoiding blockage or unevenness caused by feed accumulation.

[0032] Finally, the chickens obtain feed through the feeding window 2. The unique design of the feeding window 2 - allowing only the chicken's head to enter while restricting the chicken's body from squeezing in - ensures that each chicken can eat in an orderly and safe manner, avoiding injuries or feed contamination caused by overcrowding. At the same time, the design of the rain eaves effectively prevents rainwater from splashing into the feeding window 2, keeping the feed dry and clean. With the assistance of the micro vibration motor 16, the feed can be continuously and evenly supplied to the chickens, ensuring that they can obtain sufficient nutrition and a good growth environment.

[0033] Using the technical solution described in the present utility model, or a person skilled in the art designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution of the present utility model and achieving the above technical effects, all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
