[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the production process of using the physiological functions of livestock, poultry and other animals that have been artificially domesticated by humans, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and reproduction, to convert plant energy such as forage and feed into animal energy, so as to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. It is a very important link in the material exchange between humans and nature. Animal husbandry is an important part of agriculture and, together with crop farming, is one of the two major pillars of agricultural production. Animal husbandry is a comprehensive discipline that studies livestock breeding, reproduction, feeding, management, disease prevention and control, as well as grassland construction, livestock product processing, and animal husbandry operation management and other related fields.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent (CN208029947U) discloses an automatic feeding device for a breeding farm, which records: "The hopper of the present utility model is provided with a first feeding hole and a second feeding hole, both the first feeding hole and the second feeding hole are connected to a feeding pipe, and the two feeding pipes are symmetric left and right. The feeding pipe is provided with holes, and each hole is connected to a dry funnel through a connecting pipe. During use, the staff only needs to add feed into the hopper, and the feed in the hopper flows into the two feeding pipes through the first feeding hole and the second feeding hole on the hopper, and the feed in the two connecting pipes flows into each funnel, realizing the distribution of feed in each funnel, without the staff adding feed into each funnel one by one, reducing the workload of the staff. Moreover, the hopper is slidably arranged on the slide rail, and the slide rail is arranged on the chicken coop, so that the hopper can easily move above the chicken coop", and also records: "The traditional feeding method in a chicken coop is to set a rectangular feeding trough in the chicken coop, and the breeder sends the feed into the feeding trough. This structure increases the labor intensity of the breeder, is not convenient to operate, the feeding trough is easily knocked over by the chicks in the chicken coop, resulting in feed waste, and the feeding trough is not easy to clean and not convenient for watering. In addition, it is not easy for the breeder to control the feed supply amount; now, a feeder is used to automatically add feed into the trough, but the feed needs to be added into the hopper separately, and then the hopper adds feed into the trough during movement, and the process is relatively complicated, increasing the work intensity of the feeding staff" technical problems.

[0028] As described in the background art, the automatic feeding device in the above patent transports feed through two inclined feeding pipes. However, the feed is easily blocked in the feeding pipes, resulting in the device being stuck, thereby affecting the working efficiency of the device. Moreover, it is difficult to control the feeding amount by opening and closing the baffle.

[0029] To solve this technical problem, the present utility model provides an automatic feeding device, which is applied to a farm.

[0030] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 - 6 , the automatic feeding device specifically includes:

[0031] A base 1, a support frame 2, a storage bin 3, moving wheels 4, a feeding port 5, a conveying and feeding mechanism 6, and a material turning mechanism 7. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected above the base 1, a storage bin 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2, moving wheels 4 are fixedly connected to the four bottom corners below the base 1, a feeding port 5 is opened on the top surface of the storage bin 3, conveying and feeding mechanisms 6 for automatically feeding the feed are arranged on both sides of the storage bin 3, and a material turning mechanism 7 for turning the feed inside the storage bin 3 is arranged in the middle of the storage bin 3;

[0032] The conveying and feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding trough 8, a discharge port 9, a cover plate 10, a cleaning port 11, a conveying component, a metering component, a transmission component, and a positioning component.

[0033] For the automatic feeding device provided by the present utility model, through the structural design of the conveying and feeding mechanism 6, when in use, the double-shaft motor 12 can be started to convey the feed inside the storage bin 3 to the discharge port 9 through the feeding trough 8. During the conveying process, the metering component and the transmission component are used to quantitatively feed the conveyed feed. After the conveying is completed, the cover plate 10 can be opened to clean the inside of the feeding trough 8, effectively improving the practicability and working efficiency of the device.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , an automatic feeding device, which includes: a base 1, a support frame 2, a storage bin 3, moving wheels 4, a feeding port 5, a conveying and feeding mechanism 6, and a material turning mechanism 7. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected above the base 1, a storage bin 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2, moving wheels 4 are fixedly connected to the four bottom corners below the base 1, a feeding port 5 is opened on the top surface of the storage bin 3, conveying and feeding mechanisms 6 for automatically feeding the feed are arranged on both sides of the storage bin 3, and a material turning mechanism 7 for turning the feed inside the storage bin 3 is arranged in the middle of the storage bin 3;

[0037] Specifically, the conveying and feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding trough 8, a discharge port 9, a cover plate 10, a cleaning port 11, a conveying component, a metering component, a transmission component, and a positioning component. Two feeding troughs 8 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the lower sides of both sides of the storage bin 3. The feeding trough 8 is communicated with the inside of the storage bin 3. A discharge port 9 is opened below one end of the feeding trough 8 away from the storage bin 3. A cleaning port 11 is opened on the top surface of the feeding trough 8, and a cover plate 10 is rotatably connected above the feeding trough 8 at a position corresponding to the cleaning port 11.

[0038] Furthermore, the conveying component includes a double-shaft motor 12 and a spiral conveyor shaft 13. Spiral conveyor shafts 13 are rotatably connected inside both feeding troughs 8. A double-shaft motor 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower part of the storage bin 3. The output ends on both sides of the double-shaft motor 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the two spiral conveyor shafts 13.

[0039] Furthermore, the metering component includes a rotating cylinder 16 and a metering groove 17. A rotating cylinder 16 is rotatably connected inside the discharge port 9. Metering grooves 17 are opened at both the upper and lower ends of the rotating cylinder 16.

[0040] Furthermore, the transmission component includes a first belt pulley 18, a second belt pulley 19, and a transmission belt 20. A first belt pulley 18 is rotatably connected to the outside of the feeding trough 8. The first belt pulley 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the spiral conveyor shaft 13 away from the double-shaft motor 12. A second belt pulley 19 is rotatably connected to the outside of the discharge port 9. The second belt pulley 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 16. The first belt pulley 18 and the second belt pulley 19 are connected by a transmission belt 20 for transmission.

[0041] It can be seen that when in use, feed can be added into the interior of the storage bin 3 from the feeding port 5. Due to the action of gravity, the feed will fall downward into the feeding trough 8. When feeding is required, the double-shaft motor 12 can be started to drive the spiral conveyor shaft 13 inside the feeding trough 8 to rotate. Then, the feed falling into the interior of the feeding trough 8 is conveyed by the spiral conveyor shaft 13 to the discharge port 9 at the other end of the feeding trough 8. When the feed reaches the discharge port 9, it will fall downward into the quantitative trough 17 on the surface of the rotating cylinder 16. During the rotation of the spiral conveyor shaft 13, it will also drive the first pulley 18 outside the feeding trough 8 to rotate. While the first pulley 18 is rotating, it will drive the second pulley 19 outside the discharge port 9 to rotate through the transmission belt 20, and then drive the fixed rotating cylinder 16 to rotate, so that the feed inside the quantitative trough 17 rotates downward and is discharged from the discharge port 9, effectively improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0042] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a positioning seat 14, a rotating plate 15, a pressing plate 21, a threaded rod 22 and a knob 23. The outer side of the cover plate 10 is fixedly connected with the positioning seat 14. A rotating plate 15 is rotatably connected at a position on the outer side of the feeding trough 8 corresponding to the positioning seat 14. The rotating plate 15 is snap-connected with the positioning seat 14. A pressing plate 21 is slidably connected inside the rotating plate 15. Both ends of the pressing plate 21 extend to the outside of the rotating plate 15 and are closely attached to the surface of the positioning seat 14. A threaded rod 22 is rotatably connected inside the rotating plate 15. The pressing plate 21 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 22. A knob 23 is rotatably connected at a position on the outer side of the rotating plate 15 corresponding to the threaded rod 22. The knob 23 is fixedly connected with the threaded rod 22.

[0043] It can be seen that after the feed conveying is completed, the knob 23 can be rotated to drive the threaded rod 22 to rotate, so that the pressing plate 21 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 22 moves and disengages from the positioning seat 14. Then, the whole rotating plate 15 is turned outwards to release the flipping limit of the cover plate 10. At this time, the cover plate 10 can be turned outwards to clean the interior of the feeding trough 8 from the cleaning port 11, effectively improving the practicability of the device.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] The automatic feeding device provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized. Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, furthermore, the material turning mechanism 7 includes a rotating shaft 24, a material turning rod 25 and a driving motor 26. A rotating shaft 24 is horizontally rotatably connected inside the storage bin 3. A plurality of material turning rods 25 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 24. A driving motor 26 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage bin 3. The output end of the driving motor 26 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 24. [[ID=**16]]

[0046] It can be seen that after a large amount of feed is stored inside the storage bin 3, the feed may be compacted due to gravity, which may cause the device to be unable to discharge the feed normally. At this time, the drive motor 26 can be started to drive the rotating shaft 24 to rotate, and the feed inside the storage bin 3 is scattered and turned over by the turning rod 25 on the outside of the rotating shaft 24, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the device and effectively improving the stability and practicability of the device.
