Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of breeding aids, and particularly relates to a stainless-steel porous feeder. Background Art
[0002] A porous feeder is a device for feeding livestock in captivity. When feed is poured into the porous feeder, it will automatically replenish the feeding trough. The existing porous feeder determines the feed delivery amount according to the food intake of livestock and cannot deliver too much feed at one time to avoid excessive consumption or waste by livestock. Therefore, it is necessary to re-deliver feed every meal, increasing the manual workload. In addition, the feed in the porous feeder is prone to getting damp and may adhere and accumulate to cause jams during the process of entering the feeding trough. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a stainless-steel porous feeder that can continuously supply feed to the feeding trough according to the food intake without frequent feed addition.
[0004] The stainless-steel porous feeder includes a horizontally arranged feeding trough. A storage barrel is vertically arranged above the feeding trough. A discharge port through which feed enters the feeding trough is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the storage barrel corresponding to the feeding trough. The storage barrel has an upward opening. A feed box that can move up and down along the barrel wall is independently arranged in the storage barrel. The space between the bottom of the feed box and the inner bottom of the storage barrel is a storage space. A horizontal falling port is opened at the bottom of the feed box. A partition for opening and closing the falling port is hinged on the feed box at the falling port. The front end of the partition is hinged to the feed box, and the rear end can swing up and down. A first connecting rod is vertically arranged above the partition.
[0005] A second connecting rod is arranged between the lower end of the first connecting rod and the partition. One end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the bottom of the first connecting rod, and the other end is hinged to the upper surface of the partition.
[0006] The upper end of the first connecting rod is connected to a first air cylinder. The cylinder body of the first air cylinder is installed on the feed box. The piston rod of the first air cylinder can extend and retract up and down. The telescopic end of the piston rod is connected to the upper end of the first connecting rod.
[0007] When the piston rod extends, the first connecting rod moves downward, and the second connecting rod drives the rear end of the partition to swing downward, opening the falling port.
[0008] According to the amount of feed required by the feeding trough, the position of the feed box is moved up and down to adjust the size of the storage space. When the piston rod of the first cylinder extends, the first connecting rod moves downward, and the second connecting rod drives the rear end of the partition plate to swing downward, opening the falling port. The feed in the feed box falls into the storage space. After the feed falls to a predetermined amount, the piston rod of the first cylinder shortens, the first connecting rod moves upward, and the second connecting rod drives the rear end of the partition plate to swing upward, closing the falling port. This realizes adjusting the size of the storage space according to the food intake, and further adjusts the amount of feed continuously provided to the feeding trough in the storage barrel. The remaining feed is stored in the feed box, eliminating the need to add feed to the storage barrel every time, saving labor and preventing moisture absorption.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper end of the feed box is located above the storage barrel. Fixed blocks are horizontally fixed at the tops of the left and right side walls of the feed box. The bottoms of the fixed blocks are connected to second cylinders. The cylinder bodies of the second cylinders are installed on the storage barrel, and the piston rods of the second cylinders can telescopically move up and down. The telescopic ends of the piston rods are connected to the fixed blocks.
[0010] The piston rod of the second cylinder drives the fixed block to move up and down, thereby driving the feed box to move up and down, realizing the adjustment of the size of the storage space between the bottom of the feed box and the inner bottom of the storage barrel.
[0011] Furthermore, a drive shaft that can rotate back and forth is independently provided horizontally in the storage barrel below the feed box. A plurality of feeding blades are installed on the drive shaft, and the power input end of the drive shaft is connected to a drive assembly that drives the drive shaft to rotate.
[0012] The drive assembly drives the drive shaft to rotate, driving the feeding blades to rotate, continuously feeding the feed into the feeding trough, and preventing the feed from sticking and piling up and getting stuck and unable to enter the feeding trough.
[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor, and the power output end of the motor is connected to the drive shaft.
[0014] The motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, saving time and effort.
[0015] Furthermore, the left end of the drive shaft independently passes through the left side wall of the storage barrel and is located on the left side of the storage barrel. Bevel gears are installed on the drive shaft on the left side of the storage barrel and on the rotating shaft of the motor, and the two bevel gears are meshed with each other.
[0016] The bevel gear on the rotating shaft of the motor rotates, thereby driving the bevel gear on the drive shaft to rotate. This connection method between the motor and the drive shaft facilitates adjusting the rotation speed of the drive shaft and is convenient for installing the motor on the storage barrel.
[0017] Furthermore, the partition plate and the feed box are hinged through a hinge.
[0018] The hinge is convenient to install and has a low cost.
[0019] Furthermore, the inner bottom surface of the feeding trough is inclined to be lower in the front and higher in the rear.
[0020] The inclined feeding trough can roll the feed falling from the storage bucket into the feeding trough forward, increasing the area in the feeding trough where the feed can be eaten.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] When the piston rod of the first cylinder extends, the first connecting rod moves downward, the second connecting rod drives the rear end of the partition plate to swing downward, the falling opening is opened, and the feed in the feed box falls into the storage space. After the feed falls to a predetermined amount, the piston rod of the first cylinder shortens, the first connecting rod moves upward, the second connecting rod drives the rear end of the partition plate to swing upward, and the falling opening is closed; by changing the size of the storage space below the partition plate through the lifting of the feed box, the feeding amount can be changed, and then the amount of feed continuously provided to the feeding trough in the storage bucket can be adjusted. The remaining feed is stored in the feed box, and there is no need to add feed to the storage bucket every time, saving labor and preventing moisture. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] Prepare stainless steel plates and process them by sheet metal working into the feed box 3. As Figure 10 , Figure 11 andFigure 14 As shown, the feed box 3 is a rectangular box with an open top surface and a dropping opening at the bottom. As Figure 1 shown, a rectangular plate is vertically fixed upward at the top of the rear side wall; as Figure 10 shown, two identical stainless steel plates are welded to the left and right side walls at the top of the feed box 3 as fixing blocks.
[0044] Prepare stainless steel materials and mill and drill the material pushing piece 11. As Figure 12 、 Figure 13 shown, the structure of the material pushing piece 11 is a hollow cylinder with a rectangular plate connected to the side, as Figure 13 shown, a keyway is milled on the inner wall of the hollow cylinder.
[0045] Prepare stainless steel plates and hinge seats. As Figure 3 shown, cut the stainless steel plate and weld a hinge seat to form the partition plate 12.
[0046] Prepare three cylinders as the first cylinder 4 and the second cylinder 5; prepare two bevel gears 6; prepare one motor 7.
[0047] Prepare a shaft as the transmission shaft 10; prepare a square rod with a suitable length as the first connecting rod 8; prepare a square rod with a suitable length as the second connecting rod 9; prepare a hinge 13.
[0048] The assembly method of the above materials is as follows:
[0049] As Figure 3 shown, 6 equally spaced material pushing pieces 11 are sleeved on the transmission shaft 10, and the transmission shaft 10 and the material pushing pieces 11 are connected by key connection. The material pushing pieces 11 correspond to the 6 notches of the feeding trough 1 one by one;
[0050] Place the feeding trough 1 horizontally. As Figure 1 and Figure 14 shown, connect and fix the storage bucket 2 and the feeding trough 1 with bolts, and fix the second cylinder 5 on both sides of the storage bucket 2. The cylinder body of the second cylinder 5 is installed on the storage bucket 2, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 5 can stretch up and down;
[0051] As Figure 3 shown in the direction, use the hinge 13 to hinge the left end of the partition plate 12 to the dropping opening of the feed box 3; put the feed box 3 into the storage bucket 2.
