Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding free-range chickens, and more specifically, to a feeding device for free-range chickens. Background Art
[0002] The feed for free-range chickens is mainly supplied with full-price feed by humans and supplemented by wild forage. When free-range chickens are malnourished, phenomena such as feather pecking, vent pecking, hair loss, and growth stagnation will occur. The food found by free-range chickens in the wild is not diversified enough. Coupled with seasonal changes, it is not conducive to the nutritional diversification of the food obtained by free-range chickens. Therefore, artificial scientific ingredient breeding is added to free-range chickens to make the nutritional collocation of ecological chickens more complete. When feeding free-range chickens with artificial ingredients, the traditional method of spreading is used for feeding, which consumes labor costs, or a container is randomly used for feeding. However, free-range chickens gather around the container to eat, reducing the free-range exercise amount, which is neither conducive to improving the quality of free-range chickens nor conducive to food conservation. Therefore, a feeding device for free-range chickens is proposed.
[0003] After retrieval, for example, in the Chinese patent application with the publication number CN217771145U, a feeding device for free-range chickens is disclosed. The feeding device can rotate around the axis of rotation, enabling free-range chickens to walk and eat at the same time, solving the problem of the decrease in the exercise amount during the process of feeding artificial feed to free-range chickens, being able to improve the quality of free-range chickens. At the same time, the height of the feeding device is adjustable and can be used for free-range chickens of different breeds and different stages. The storage box of the feeding device is convenient for quantitative feeding. The cross-section of the feeding tray is in a W shape to reduce feed spillage during feeding, achieving food conservation. The driving motor is connected to the solar panel for power supply, saving energy.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned scheme can only feed during the feeding time of free-range chickens, and manual labor is required to put food into the feeding tray multiple times, which is rather troublesome. Moreover, when feeding according to the above-mentioned scheme, free-range chickens will produce feces and step on the feces under their feet, resulting in the feces sticking to the inside of the feeding tray and being difficult to collect, affecting hygiene. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, an embodiment of the utility model provides a feeding device for free-range chickens, and the technical problem to be solved is: it is rather troublesome to feed food multiple times, and the feces are difficult to collect, affecting hygiene.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field of free-range chicken feeding without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the utility model provides a feeding device for free-range chickens, including a feeding tray 1: a protrusion 4 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the feeding tray 1, a leveling tray 5 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the lower end of the feeding tray 1, a feeding hopper 6 is connected to the upper end of the feed tray 23, and the leveling tray 5 is flush with the ground.
[0027] In order to reduce the trouble of multiple manual feeding, a timing feeding device 2 capable of timing feeding is fixedly provided on the upper end of the feeding tray 1, which is used to feed the feeding tray 1 at a fixed time;
[0028] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the timing feeding device 2 includes a fixed frame 21, which is fixedly arranged on one side of the upper end of the ground plate 5. The upper end of the fixed frame 21 is fixedly provided with a feeding tray 23. One side of the feeding tray 23 is fixedly provided with a rotating motor 28 through a bracket. The input end of the rotating motor 28 is fixedly provided with a timing switch 22. A rotating shaft 25 penetrates through the inner side of the feeding tray 23. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 25 is movably connected with the inner side of the feeding tray 23. Four dial plates 26 are fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 25. One side of the lower end of the feeding tray 23 is communicated with a discharge port 24. The lower end of the rotating shaft 25 is fixedly provided with a transmission disc 27. The output end of the rotating motor 28 is fixedly provided with a rotating disc 29. The transmission disc 27 and the rotating disc 29 are connected by a track for transmission. By setting the feeding time through the timing switch 22, the rotating motor 28 can be started to drive. When the rotating motor 28 rotates, the rotating disc 29 and the transmission disc 27 are driven at the same frequency by the track. When the transmission disc 27 rotates, it can drive the dial plate 26 to rotate. Therefore, the food input from the feeding hopper 6 can be rotated and dialed to the discharge port 24, so as to achieve the feeding effect and reduce the trouble of manual feeding multiple times.
[0029] Further, in order to avoid the manure being trampled by the free-range chickens and ensure the sanitary conditions when the free-range chickens are eating, a manure collection device 3 capable of collecting manure is provided at the lower end of the feeding tray 1 for collecting the manure excreted by the free-range chickens when they are eating.
[0030] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, the manure collection device 3 includes a collection tray 31, which is inserted into the soil for fixation. Thread grooves 32 are opened at the upper end of the inner wall of the collection tray 31. A threaded disc 35 is threadedly connected inside the thread grooves 32. The upper end of the threaded disc 35 is fixedly connected with the lower end of the ground plate 5. Two dial blocks 33 are fixedly arranged on the upper end of the ground plate 5. A leaky hole net 34 is fixedly arranged inside the ground plate 5. The leaky hole net 34 is located on the outer surface of the lower end of the feeding tray 1. By connecting the threaded disc 35 with the thread grooves 32, when the free-range chickens need to eat, they will step on the leaky hole net 34. When the free-range chickens produce manure when eating, it will fall on the leaky hole net 34 and then fall into the collection tray 31. When the manure needs to be taken out, by holding the two dial blocks 33 and rotating the ground plate 5, the ground plate 5 and the leaky hole net 34 can be separated from the collection tray 31, so as to avoid the manure being trampled by the free-range chickens and ensure the sanitary conditions when the free-range chickens are eating.
[0031] The working principle is as follows: When the present utility model is in use, the collection tray 31 is inserted into the ground, and the horizontal tray 5 and the timing feeding device 2 are installed on the collection tray 31 by using the feces collection device 3. The food for the free-range chickens is manually put into the feeding hopper 6, and the feeding time is set by using the timing switch 22. When it is time to feed the free-range chickens, the food is dropped onto the convex blocks 4 by using the timing feeding device 2, so that the food is distributed on the feeding tray 1. When the free-range chickens stand on the leakage hole net 34 to eat, the feces excreted by the free-range chickens during eating are collected by the feces collection device 3. Overall, the trouble of manual feeding multiple times is reduced, and the feces excreted by the free-range chickens can be collected, avoiding the problem that the feces excreted by the free-range chickens during eating are trampled, thus affecting the hygiene.
[0032] In addition, it is worth noting that electronic devices such as the timing switch 22 and the rotating motor 28 in the present utility model are all powered by an external power supply. This circuit structure belongs to mature prior art, so it will not be further described in the present utility model.
[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
