Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal feeding, and specifically, to a feeding device for ruminants. Background Art
[0002] Ruminants are a suborder in Artiodactyla. They have a digestive method of returning the semi-digested food in the stomach to the mouth for chewing again. Commonly, cattle and sheep are the main ones. When herdsmen feed cattle and sheep, they need to sieve the feeding grass to remove impurities in the grass, and then put the sieved grass into the feeding troughs of cattle and sheep. However, at present, most herdsmen still manually sieve the impurities in the grass, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the sieved impurities will scatter on the ground, making it inconvenient for herdsmen to clean. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The utility model provides a feeding device for ruminants, which can overcome certain or some defects of the prior art.
[0004] According to a feeding device for ruminants of the utility model, it includes: a device main body, the device main body includes a mounting base, and on one side of the mounting base, there are two first support plates and a second support plate which are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the mounting base; on the other side of the mounting base, there is a third support plate corresponding to the first support plate;

[0006] Through the utility model, the herdsman sets the device main body at the feeding trough in the sheep pen or cattle pen. When the cattle and sheep need to be fed, the herdsman only needs to put the grass into the feeding chute, and then start the first motor. The first motor drives the first rotating rod to rotate. When the first rotating rod rotates, the protrusion on the first rotating rod will push the sieve plate towards the first guide groove to compress the first spring. When the protrusion is misaligned with one end of the sieve plate, the first spring will push the sieve plate towards the first rotating rod, and move back and forth like this, so as to facilitate the screening of the grass on the sieve plate; and the impurities sieved out from the grass will fall into the first collection trough on the second support plate, thus facilitating the herdsman to collect the impurities and facilitating the subsequent cleaning;
[0007] The first support plate is inclined. When the sieve plate moves back and forth, the grass is more likely to slide along the first support plate into the first channel, and then enter the storage trough through the first channel for cattle and sheep to eat; it saves the time for the herdsman to sieve the grass and improves the feeding efficiency of the herdsman for cattle and sheep.
[0008] Preferably, a first through hole is provided at the bottom of the blanking chute along the length direction of the first support plate, and a first annular groove extends outward from the inner side wall of the first through hole; the screening mechanism includes a sieve plate that plugs the first through hole; a first guiding groove is provided at the mounting seat for one end of the sieve plate to extend into;
[0009] At one end of the first support plate away from the mounting seat, a mounting groove is provided along the width direction of the mounting seat, and a rotating member is provided in the mounting groove; the rotating member includes a first rotating rod provided along the length direction of the mounting groove, and a plurality of protrusions are provided on the side wall of the first rotating rod and distributed circumferentially along the first rotating rod; a first spring is provided in the first guiding groove, and the first spring is used to push the sieve plate against the protrusions; a first motor for driving the first rotating rod to rotate is provided on the side wall of the first support plate.
[0010] With the present utility model, the first motor drives the first rotating rod to rotate, and the rotation of the first rotating rod pushes the sieve plate to reciprocate along the first annular groove. The edge of the sieve plate extends into the first annular groove and moves along the first annular groove, making the movement of the sieve plate more stable through the first annular groove.
[0011] Preferably, a fourth support plate is provided below the third support plate, and a second collection tank is provided at the fourth support plate; a second channel communicating the second collection tank and the first collection tank is provided at the mounting seat.
[0012] With the present utility model, after the impurities in the first collection tank increase and accumulate, the impurities in the first collection tank will slide along the second support plate to the second channel and finally enter the second collection tank through the second channel, thereby preventing the impurities in the first collection tank from accumulating too much and overflowing the first collection tank.
[0013] Preferably, a second through hole is provided at the bottom of the first collection tank along the length direction of the second support plate, and a second annular groove extends outward from the inner side wall of the second through hole;
[0014] A pushing mechanism is provided in the second through hole, and the pushing mechanism includes a guiding plate for plugging the second through hole; a second guiding groove is provided at the mounting seat for one end of the guiding plate to extend into; at one end of the second support plate away from the mounting seat, a second mounting groove is provided along the width direction of the second support plate, and a second rotating rod is provided in the second mounting groove. A plurality of bumps are provided on the side wall of the second rotating rod and distributed circumferentially along the second rotating rod; a second spring is provided in the second guiding groove, and the second spring is used to push the guiding plate against the bumps; a second motor for driving the second rotating rod to rotate is provided on the side wall of the second support plate.
[0015] With the present utility model, after impurities accumulate in the first collection tank, the herdsman starts the second motor, which drives the second rotating rod to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating rod causes the bump on the second rotating rod to push the guide plate to squeeze the second spring, and in cooperation with the second spring, the guide plate reciprocates along the second annular groove, thereby shaking the accumulated impurities in the first collection tank and causing the shaken impurities to slide into the second collection tank, thus preventing the impurities from accumulating too much and overflowing in the first collection tank. After the impurities move to the second collection tank, the herdsman only needs to regularly clean the impurities in the second collection tank; thus, it is convenient for the herdsman to clean the impurities screened out from the forage.
[0016] Preferably, both the first support plate and the second support plate are inclined.
[0017] With the present utility model, since the first support plate and the second support plate are inclined, when the forage enters the first support plate, it is convenient to slide along the first support plate into the storage tank for cattle and sheep to eat; the impurities enter the second support plate and slide along the second support plate into the second collection tank, thus facilitating the herdsman to collect and clean the impurities.
[0018] Preferably, the lower end surfaces of both the first channel and the second channel are inclined surfaces.
[0019] With the present utility model, the forage and the impurities slide into the storage tank and the second collection tank respectively along the inclined surfaces of the first channel and the second channel; preventing the forage and the impurities from being blocked in the first channel and the second channel.
[0020] Preferably, at one end of the first support plate and the second support plate close to the mounting seat, there are a first baffle and a second baffle arranged along the width direction of the first support plate and the second support plate; both the first baffle and the second baffle are inclined.
[0021] With the present utility model, since the first baffle and the second baffle are inclined, when the sieve plate and the guide plate reciprocate, they will push the forage and the impurities into the first channel and the second channel along the first baffle and the second baffle, thus preventing the forage and the impurities from getting stuck at the openings of the first channel and the second channel when the sieve plate and the guide plate reciprocate.
[0022] Preferably, at the ends of the sieve plate and the guide plate away from the mounting seat, there are a first arc surface and a second arc surface respectively.
[0023] With the present utility model, the first arc surface and the second arc surface cooperate with the protrusions and bumps on the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod respectively. When the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod rotate, the protrusions and bumps slide along the first arc surface and the second arc surface respectively, thus facilitating the pushing of the sieve plate and the guide plate to move.
[0024] Preferably, a cover plate is provided at the opening of the second collection tank.
[0025] With the present utility model, the cover plate covers the second collection trough, thereby preventing cows and sheep from accidentally eating impurities in the second collection trough. Description of the Drawings

[0034] As Figure 1-6 shown, in this embodiment, a feeding device for ruminants is provided, which includes a device main body 100. The device main body 100 includes a mounting base 102. On one side of the mounting base 102, there are two first support plates 110 and second support plates 130 that are spaced apart along the height direction of the mounting base 102; on the other side of the mounting base 102, there is a third support plate 190 corresponding to the first support plate 110;
[0035] A feeding trough 140 and a first collection trough 150 are respectively provided at the first support plate 110 and the second support plate 130; a storage trough 101 is provided at the third support plate 190; a first channel 210 communicating the feeding trough 140 and the storage trough 101 is provided at the mounting base 102; a screening mechanism is provided at the bottom of the feeding trough 140, and the screening mechanism is used to screen impurities in the forage in the feeding trough 140 into the first collection trough 150.
[0036] In this embodiment, the herdsman places the device main body 100 at the feeding trough in the sheep pen or cattle pen. When the cattle and sheep need to be fed, the herdsman only needs to put the forage into the feeding chute 140, and then start the first motor 120. The first motor 120 drives the first rotating rod 260 to rotate. When the first rotating rod 260 rotates, the protrusion 510 on the first rotating rod 260 will push the sieve plate 240 into the first guiding groove 220 to compress the first spring 230. When the protrusion 510 is misaligned with one end of the sieve plate 240, the first spring 230 will push the sieve plate 240 towards the first rotating rod 260, and move back and forth like this, so as to facilitate the screening of the forage on the sieve plate 240; and the impurities sieved out from the forage will fall into the first collection groove 150 on the second support plate 130, which facilitates the herdsman to collect the impurities and facilitates subsequent cleaning;
[0037] The first support plate 110 is inclined. When the sieve plate 240 moves back and forth, the forage is more likely to slide along the first support plate 110 and enter the first channel 210, and then enter the storage tank 101 through the first channel 210 for cattle and sheep to eat; it saves the time for the herdsman to screen the forage and improves the feeding efficiency of the herdsman for cattle and sheep.
[0038] In this embodiment, a first through hole 450 is provided at the bottom of the feeding chute 140 along the length direction of the first support plate 110, and a first annular groove 410 extends outward from the inner side wall of the first through hole 450; the screening mechanism includes a sieve plate 240 that seals the first through hole 450; a first guiding groove 220 for one end of the sieve plate 240 to extend into is provided at the mounting seat 102;
[0039] An installation groove 250 is provided at one end of the first support plate 110 away from the mounting seat 102 along the width direction of the mounting seat 102, and a rotating member is provided in the installation groove 250; the rotating member includes a first rotating rod 260 arranged along the length direction of the installation groove 250, and a plurality of protrusions 510 are arranged on the side wall of the first rotating rod 260 in a circumferential distribution along the first rotating rod 260; a first spring 230 is provided in the first guiding groove 220, and the first spring 230 is used to push the sieve plate 240 against the protrusion 510; a first motor 120 for driving the first rotating rod 260 to rotate is provided on the side wall of the first support plate 110.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first motor 120 drives the first rotating rod 260 to rotate, and the first rotating rod 260 rotates to push the sieve plate 240 to reciprocate along the first annular groove 410. The edge of the sieve plate 240 extends into the first annular groove 410 and moves along the first annular groove 410. Through the first annular groove 410, the sieve plate 240 moves more stably when moving.
[0041] In this embodiment, a fourth support plate 170 is provided below the third support plate 190, and a second collection groove 180 is provided at the fourth support plate 170; a second channel 203 communicating the second collection groove 180 and the first collection groove 150 is provided at the mounting seat 102.
[0042] Through this embodiment, after impurities in the first collection groove 150 increase and accumulate, the impurities in the first collection groove 150 will slide along the second support plate 130 to the second channel 203, and finally enter the second collection groove 180 through the second channel 203, thereby preventing the impurities in the first collection groove 150 from accumulating too much and overflowing the first collection groove 150.
[0043] In this embodiment, a second through hole 460 is provided at the bottom of the first collection groove 150 and is arranged along the length direction of the second support plate 130. An outward extension is formed on the inner side wall of the second through hole 460 to form a second annular groove 430;

The pushing mechanism includes a guiding plate 290 for blocking the second through hole 460; a second guiding groove 202 for one end of the guiding plate 290 to extend into is provided at the mounting seat 102; a second mounting groove 270 is provided at the end of the second support plate 130 away from the mounting seat 102 and is arranged along the width direction of the second support plate 130. A second rotating rod 204 is provided in the second mounting groove 270. A plurality of bumps are provided on the side wall of the second rotating rod 204 and are distributed circumferentially along the second rotating rod 204; a second spring 201 is provided in the second guiding groove 202, and the second spring 201 is used to push the guiding plate 290 against the bumps; a second motor 160 for driving the second rotating rod 204 to rotate is provided on the side wall of the second support plate 130.
[0045] Through this embodiment, after impurities accumulate in the first collection groove 150, the herdsman starts the second motor 160. The second motor 160 drives the second rotating rod 204 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating rod 204 causes the bumps on the second rotating rod 204 to push the guiding plate 290 to squeeze the second spring 201, and cooperate with the second spring 201 to make the guiding plate 290 reciprocate along the second annular groove 430, thereby vibrating and dispersing the accumulated impurities in the first collection groove 150, and making the dispersed impurities slide into the second collection groove 180, thereby preventing the impurities from accumulating too much and overflowing in the first collection groove 150. After the impurities move to the second collection groove 180, the herdsman only needs to regularly clean the impurities in the second collection groove 180; thus, it is convenient for the herdsman to clean the impurities screened out from the forage.
[0046] In this embodiment, both the first support plate 110 and the second support plate 130 are inclined.
[0047] In this embodiment, since the first support plate 110 and the second support plate 130 are inclined, when the forage enters the first support plate 110, it is convenient to slide along the first support plate 110 into the storage tank 101 for cattle and sheep to eat; the impurities enter the second support plate 130 and slide along the second support plate 130 into the second collection tank 180, thus facilitating the herdsmen to collect and clean the impurities.
[0048] In this embodiment, the lower end surfaces of the first channel 210 and the second channel 203 are both inclined surfaces.
[0049] In this embodiment, the forage and the impurities slide into the storage tank 101 and the second collection tank 180 along the inclined surfaces of the first channel 210 and the second channel 203 respectively; preventing the forage and the impurities from being blocked in the first channel 210 and the second channel 203.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first baffle 420 and the second baffle 440 are inclined. When the sieve plate 240 and the guide plate 290 reciprocate, they will push the forage and the impurities into the first channel 210 and the second channel 203 along the first baffle 420 and the second baffle 440, thus preventing the forage and the impurities from getting stuck at the openings of the first channel 210 and the second channel 203 when the sieve plate 240 and the guide plate 290 reciprocate.
[0052] In this embodiment, a first arc surface 310 and a second arc surface 320 are respectively provided at one end of the sieve plate 240 and the guide plate 290 away from the mounting seat 102.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first arc surface 310 and the second arc surface 320 cooperate with the protrusions 510 and the bumps on the first rotating rod 260 and the second rotating rod 204 respectively. When the first rotating rod 260 and the second rotating rod 204 rotate, the protrusions 510 and the bumps slide along the first arc surface 310 and the second arc surface 320 respectively, thus facilitating the movement of the sieve plate 240 and the guide plate 290.
[0054] In this embodiment, a cover plate 610 is provided at the opening of the second collection tank 180.
[0055] In this embodiment, the cover plate 610 covers the second collection tank 180, thus preventing cattle and sheep from accidentally eating the impurities in the second collection tank 180.
