[0002] With the rapid development of modern poultry farming, large-scale, intensive farming has become the mainstream trend. This shift places higher demands on poultry feeding equipment. Traditional poultry feeding methods often rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to uneven feed distribution due to human factors, affecting the growth rate and health of poultry. Therefore, more and more farmers are adopting breeding equipment for their breeding.

[0003] Currently, there are usually two scenarios for feeding poultry. The first is free-range farming, which requires placing many feeding bowls in an open space and then putting feed into the feeding bowls for the poultry to eat; the other is poultry house farming, which usually involves putting feed into a feeding trough in front of the poultry house for the poultry to eat.

[0004] Although there are many types of poultry feeders on the market, these feeding equipment often have many shortcomings in actual use. For example, the feeding bowls and other equipment cannot be put away in time after the poultry have finished eating, so the feed in them is exposed to the air for a long time, making it easy to get damp, contaminated, and even decomposed and smelled by microorganisms. At the same time, existing poultry feeders cannot adapt to both free-range and poultry house farming methods.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of existing poultry feeders, it is necessary to provide a feeder. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the utility model is a feeder, which is mainly used for poultry farming; specifically, it includes a machine base 1, which can be directly placed on the breeding feeding site, and a body storage bin 2 for storing feed is set on the top surface of the machine base 1. Feed can be conveniently placed in the cavity of the body storage bin 2. At the same time, a plurality of feed tray devices 3 are rotatably connected to the bottom position of the body storage bin 2, such as Figure 1 As shown, the machine base 1 and the fuselage storage bin body 2 of this embodiment are square structures. Therefore, correspondingly, there are four material tray devices 3, which are evenly arranged around the fuselage storage bin body 2. Since the material tray device 3 is rotatably connected to the fuselage storage bin body 2, the material tray device 3 can be folded relative to the fuselage storage bin body 2, so that the material tray device 3 is attached to the side of the fuselage storage bin body 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the material tray device 3 is folded and attached to the side of the fuselage storage bin body 2. In this state, the material tray device 3 does not occupy floor space, saving space. At the same time, in this state, the material tray device 3 will not be exposed to the environment, avoiding contamination, and is clean and hygienic.

[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 4As shown, the fuselage storage bin body 2 forms a discharge port 21 corresponding to the feed tray device 3 and controllable to open and close. The discharge port 21 is basically flush with the feeding position of the unfolded and placed feed tray device 3. Furthermore, a vibration blanking component 6 is also provided in the fuselage storage bin body 2. The feed in the fuselage storage bin body 2 is scattered into the feed tray device 3 through the discharge port 21 under the vibration action of the vibration blanking component 6 to complete the feeding operation.

[0033] Further optimization, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 ,、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the present invention also includes a feed hopper 7 arranged on the top surface of the fuselage storage bin body 2 and connected to the fuselage storage bin body 2. The feed hopper 7 is a conventional funnel structure, which is convenient for adding feed to the fuselage storage bin body 2. It is easy to know that the top surface of the hopper 7 and the feed hopper 7 body are detachable, which is convenient for disassembling to put in feed; further, a mounting connector 8 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the feed hopper 7, and a through hole is formed in the mounting connector 8. The mounting connector 8 installs the feeder to the mounting rod 9 through the through hole. When installing to the mounting rod 9, it is usually necessary to hang the feeder. For example, in the case of poultry house breeding, multiple feeders can be installed in front of the poultry house through the mounting rod 9, and then only two opposing feed tray devices 3 are unfolded for feeding. The specific installation structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, installing the connecting piece 8 makes the utility model more applicable.

[0034] Further optimize the structure of the vibration blanking component 6 of the utility model, specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the vibrating discharge assembly 6 includes a discharge slope 61 arranged on the inner bottom surface of the fuselage storage bin 2 and inclined toward several discharge ports 21 at the same time, and a vibrator 62 also arranged on the inner bottom surface of the fuselage storage bin 2 and transmission-connected to the discharge slope 61. The vibrator 62 drives the discharge slope 61 to vibrate, and the vibrating discharge slope 61 plus the slope structure of the discharge slope 61 itself cause the feed in the fuselage storage bin 2 to slide out along the slope toward the discharge port 21.

[0035] In order to make the material sliding from the discharge port 21 to the tray device 3 more evenly dispersed, the tray device 3 needs to be further optimized, specifically, as Figure 7As shown, the feed tray device 3 includes a tray body 31, and a connecting portion 37 is formed at one end of the tray body 31. The connecting portion 37 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fuselage storage bin body 2 through a connecting body 4. The tray body 31 forms a sliding portion 32 and a feeding portion 33 in sequence from one end of the connecting portion 37 to the tail end. Specifically, the feeding portion 33 is a stepped structure. The stepped structure enables the feed coming out of the discharge port 21 to be evenly scattered into the feeding portion 33 after passing through the sliding portion 32, because each step has a certain effect of storing materials.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to prevent the feed from falling outside the tray 31, further optimization is performed, such as Figure 7 As shown, a fence 34 is provided on the upper portion of the sliding portion 32 to prevent the feed from falling sideways; similarly, a protective net 35 is provided on the upper portion of the feeding portion 33, and the protective net 35 is mainly used to prevent mice and the like from entering the feeding portion 33; similarly, the tray 31 is provided with a baffle 36 to prevent the feed from falling.

[0037] The connecting portion 37 of the tray device 3 of the present invention is connected to the bottom of the fuselage storage bin 2 by rotating the connecting body 4. The simplest one is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the connecting body 4 includes a fixing seat 41 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the fuselage storage bin body 2 and a connecting protrusion 42 arranged on the side of the fixing seat 41 away from the fuselage storage bin body 2, and then a through hole is formed in the protrusion 42, and the connecting protrusion 42 is hingedly connected to the connecting part 37, so that the material tray device 3 can be rotated, folded or unfolded along the hinge center line.

[0038] The above-mentioned feed tray device 3 can be folded or unfolded manually, but there are many feed tray devices 3 needed in the farm. If each one needs to be operated manually, the labor cost will be very high. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the utility model. Specifically, the utility model also includes a lifting mechanism 5 arranged on the fuselage storage bin body 2, and the lifting mechanism 5 is used to drive the feed tray device 3 to rotate and retract to fit the outer wall of the fuselage storage bin body 2; specifically, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a motor 51 arranged on the fuselage storage bin body 2, a threaded rod 52 for transmission connection to the motor 51, and a nut movable body 53 that is spirally connected to the threaded rod 52, and one end of the nut movable body 53 is provided with a connecting claw body 54, The connecting claw body 54 is fixedly connected to the lifting square ring 55 mounted in the fuselage storage bin body 2, and the connecting claw body 54 is used to extract the lifting square ring 55 and move it along the axial direction of the threaded rod 52; when in use, start and control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor according to the situation, and then the threaded rod 52 drives the nut movable body 53 to move up and down. When moving upward, the lifting square ring 55 is lifted, and the lifting square ring 55 will push the material tray device 3 to rotate and fold upward; when moving downward, the lifting square ring 55 is lowered, and the material tray device 3 rotates downward under the action of gravity; when necessary, the height position of the lifting square ring 55 can be controlled so that it supports the material tray device 3 at different angles, thereby realizing the adjustment of the inclination of the material tray device 3.

[0039] In order to prevent the lifting mechanism 5 from shaking left and right when lifting or lowering the lifting square ring 55, causing instability, it is preferred that a plurality of sliders 531 are formed on the surface of the nut movable body 53, and the fuselage storage bin 2 forms a slide groove corresponding to the slider 531, and the slide groove and the slider 531 are slidably engaged, so that the slider 531 cannot be separated from the slide groove, limiting the lifting or lowering of the lifting square ring 55 to move in one direction, thereby preventing the nut movable body 53 and the connected lifting square ring 55 from shaking.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
