Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeders, in particular to a novel feeder for sheep breeding. Background Art

[0002] Animal husbandry is a production sector that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, sheep, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, to convert plant energy such as forage and feed into animal energy through artificial breeding and reproduction, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal herbs. It is an extremely important link in the material exchange between humans and nature, and animal husbandry is one of the main components of agriculture.

[0003] A new type of sheep feeder disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent application disclosure CN211510185U, although the utility model sheep feeder cannot adjust the feeding ratio during use, resulting in uneven feeding and uneven feed ratio in the sheep trough, which affects the normal growth of the sheep. However, during the feeding process, since the feed is in granular form and is affected by gravity, feeding too quickly may cause feed to accumulate at the feeding port, which is easy to cause blockage and is inconvenient to control the feeding amount. It has the disadvantage of poor practicality. In order to meet the use needs, a new type of sheep feeder is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0014] The utility model provides a novel feeding device for raising sheep, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This new type of sheep feeding device, through the settings of the material control cylinder, rotating roller, and trough, enables the new type of sheep feeding device to have the effect of avoiding blockage during the feeding process. When in use, the feeding device is installed above the feed trough in the sheep pen. The staff pours the sheep feed into the feed hopper, sets the timing controller, and controls the first motor and the second motor to start working regularly through the timing controller. At the same time, the working duration of the first motor and the second motor is set. When it is time to feed according to the set time, the first motor and the second motor are controlled to start working through the timing controller. The first motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the rotating roller to rotate. When the trough on the surface is driven to rotate to the directly above during the rotation of the rotating roller, the feed in the feed hopper moves downward under the action of gravity, filling the trough with feed. When the rotating roller drives the trough filled with feed to rotate to the directly below, the feed falls through the discharge head under the action of gravity and lands in the sheep feed trough, completing the function of automatic feeding. At the same time, during the feeding process, since the sheep feed is mostly cylindrical granules, it is easy to accumulate above the material control cylinder during the feeding process. At this time, under the action of the second motor, the second motor drives the cam to rotate. Since the surface of the cam abuts against the inner side of the movable plate, as the cam rotates, the spring makes a stretching and contracting movement, thereby driving the movable plate to move back and forth. During the movement of the movable plate, the ram rod is driven to make a plugging movement in the sliding hole. Through the movement of the other end of the ram rod in the feed hopper, the feed at the feeding place above the material control cylinder is pushed, avoiding the accumulation of feed here and playing a role in preventing feed blockage. The device adjusts the working duration of the first motor (the rotation speed of the first motor is the same), thereby adjusting the number of times the trough rotates to the directly below, and then controlling the feeding amount of the feed, playing a role in avoiding blockage and controlling the feeding amount, and achieving the purpose of improving the practicability of the feeding device.

[0025] In order to achieve the purpose of improving the practicability of the feeder, during use, through the settings of the material control cylinder 3, the rotating roller 7, and the trough 8, the new sheep feeder has the effect of avoiding blockage during the feeding process. During use, the feeder is installed above the feed trough 8 in the sheep pen. The staff pours sheep feed into the feed hopper 1, sets the timing controller 17, and controls the first motor 5 and the second motor 15 to start working regularly through the timing controller 17. At the same time, the working duration of the first motor 5 and the second motor 15 is set. When it is time to feed according to the set time, the timing controller 17 controls the first motor 5 and the second motor 15 to start working. The first motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 6 drives the rotating roller 7 to rotate. When the trough 8 on the surface is driven to rotate to the directly above during the rotation of the rotating roller 7, the feed in the feed hopper 1 moves downward under the action of gravity, filling the trough 8 with feed. When the rotating roller 7 drives the trough 8 filled with feed to rotate to the directly below, the feed falls through the discharge head 4 under the action of gravity and lands in the sheep feed trough 8, completing the function of automatic feeding. At the same time, during the feeding process, since sheep feed is mostly cylindrical granular, it is easy to accumulate above the material control cylinder 3 during the feeding process. At this time, under the action of the second motor 15, the second motor 15 drives the cam 16 to rotate. Since the surface of the cam 16 abuts against the inner side of the movable plate 11, as the cam 16 rotates, the spring 10 performs stretching and contracting movements, thereby driving the movable plate 11 to move back and forth. During the movement of the movable plate 11, the ram 13 is driven to perform insertion and extraction movements in the sliding hole 12. Through the movement of the other end of the ram 13 in the feed hopper 1, the feed at the feeding position above the material control cylinder 3 is pushed, avoiding the accumulation of feed here and playing a role in preventing feed blockage. The device adjusts the working duration of the first motor 5 (the rotation speed of the first motor 5 is constant), thereby adjusting the number of times the trough 8 rotates to the directly below, and thus controlling the feeding amount of the feed, playing a role in avoiding blockage and controlling the feeding amount, and achieving the purpose of improving the practicability of the feeder.

[0026] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
