Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry equipment, in particular to an automatic chicken feed delivery device. Background Art

[0002] Animal husbandry is a pillar industry for agricultural development and an important source of agricultural income. As people's living standards improve, the demand for meat is also increasing. However, the existing feeding methods for animal husbandry are mainly through manual or mechanical feeding.

[0003] Among them, the equipment for mechanical feeding usually includes a storage bin and a discharge pipe arranged at the lower end of the storage bin. In addition, a corresponding driving mechanism is also provided on one side of the storage bin to drive the storage bin to move linearly above the trough. The driving mechanism is usually composed of a screw and a driving part. At the same time, a corresponding opening and closing mechanism is also provided below the discharge pipe, such as a sealing cover. When the sealing cover is opened, feed can be added to the trough.

[0004] In actual use, operators of existing devices not only need to complete the feed mixing process but also manually control the opening and closing mechanism to complete the filling process. This not only requires multiple steps and high workload, but the opening and closing mechanism is generally controlled manually on the discharge pipe, which requires operators to bend over and endure the complex odor of the chicken house floor.

[0005] Therefore, we believe that there is a need for an automatic chicken feed delivery device that can reduce the number of operating steps for operators and realize automatic delivery of feed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model proposes an automatic chicken feed delivery device, which has the advantages of automatically completing feed delivery and reducing the burden on operators. It solves the shortcomings of the existing technology device, such as many operating steps and high work intensity, and the need to endure complex on-site odors.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A device for automatically feeding chicken feed comprises a storage bin, wherein a partition is provided inside the storage bin, and the inner cavity of the storage bin is divided into two accommodating chambers on the left and right sides by the partition, and a baffle is rotatably connected to the inside of each accommodating chamber through a mounting member, and the two mounting members are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls on the left and right sides of the storage bin, and the two baffles are rotatably connected to the pull ropes at the near ends thereof, and a through hole is formed through the partition, and a follower rod is inserted into the through hole, and the lower end of the follower rod is rotatably connected to the two pull ropes in the same vertical plane. The lower end is connected to a discharge pipe, the side end of the storage bin is fixedly connected to a driving member, the upper end of the storage bin is provided with a fixing frame, and the driving member is penetrated by left and right axial limiting holes and an internal threaded hole I, the lower end of the fixing frame is rotatably connected to the limiting rod and the screw, the upper end of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the limiting plate, the left and right ends of the limiting plate are greater than the middle section height of the limiting plate, and the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting hole, the screw is inserted into the internal threaded hole I, the upper end of the follower rod is fixedly connected to the driven rod, and the lower end of the driven rod is in contact with the limiting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a restraining tube is fixedly provided in each of the accommodating cavities, and the projection of the restraining tube on the vertical plane is a trapezoidal structure, and the projection of the upper end of the restraining tube on the horizontal plane completely covers the projection of the lower end of the restraining tube on the horizontal plane.

[0010] Preferably, the projection of the baffle on the horizontal plane completely covers the projection of the lower end of the corresponding constraint tube on the horizontal plane, and the angle between the lower end surface of each baffle and the horizontal plane is no more than 60°.

[0011] Preferably, when the angle between the lower end face of each baffle and the horizontal plane is equal to 0°, the gap between the side end face of the baffle and the inner wall of the storage bin and the partition is less than 1 cm, and when the angle between the lower end face of each baffle and the horizontal plane is equal to 0°, the distance between the upper end face of the baffle and the corresponding lower end face of the constraint tube is less than 1 cm.

[0012] Preferably, an internal threaded hole II is respectively opened on the left and right sides of the storage bin, and an adjusting bolt is screwed inside the internal threaded hole II, and each adjusting bolt is located below the baffle on the same side, and the adjusting bolt abuts against the corresponding baffle.

[0014] Preferably, a sleeve is provided on the outer shell of the driven rod, the sleeve is rotatably connected to the driven rod, and the sleeve abuts against the limit plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The utility model cooperates with the pull rope and the follower rod, and uses the limit plate to constrain the position of the driven rod, so that the baffle can automatically rotate during the left and right movement of the storage bin, thereby determining whether to put feed into the trough. This can effectively reduce the operator's operating steps, so that the operator only needs to control the feeding time to determine the left and right movement of the storage bin. At the same time, the device uses the inclined baffle to constrain the falling trajectory of the material, so that the material in the left and right holding chambers can form an arc curve after impacting the baffle. This can use the interlaced arcs on both sides to achieve mixing and fusion of the materials in the two holding chambers. This is suitable for multiple feeding processes and can save the operator the complexity of multiple mixing of materials during large-scale material delivery. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] 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.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-3A chicken feed automatic feeding device includes a storage bin 8 for storing a large amount of feed. The lower end of the storage bin 8 is connected to a discharge pipe 10. In practice, a trough is provided at the lower end of the discharge pipe 10, and the feed inside the storage bin 8 falls into the trough through the discharge pipe 10.

[0024] At the same time, a partition 12 is provided inside the storage bin 8, which divides the inner cavity of the storage bin 8 into two equal accommodating chambers on the left and right. The two accommodating chambers are used to respectively hold fattening materials and nutritional materials. In practice, by fully mixing the fattening materials and nutritional materials, the healthy growth of the poultry can be fully guaranteed.

[0025] It should be noted that, in existing products, both conventional fattening materials and nutritional materials for ensuring healthy growth exist separately, and therefore need to be mixed during the actual feeding process.

[0026] Specifically, in order to achieve automatic mixing, the device is fixedly connected to a mounting member 16 on the left and right inner walls of the storage bin 8, that is, the two mounting members 16 are respectively located in the two accommodating chambers. At this time, the two mounting members 16 are respectively rotatably connected to a baffle 11 near the end. When the material inside a single accommodating chamber falls vertically, it will first impact the baffle 11, and then change the falling direction due to the influence of the inclined upper end face of the baffle 11, and move in a downward arc. At this time, combined with the characteristics of the left and right symmetrical arrangement of the two baffles 11, the arcs of the materials inside the two accommodating chambers can be intertwined and merged to produce a mixing effect when they move to the position of the baffle 11 during the falling process.

[0027] It should be noted that, in practice, by rotating the baffle 11 and changing the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane, the projection length of the material falling arc on the horizontal plane can be changed. This can change the intersection degree of the arc-shaped interlacing and fusion of the materials on both sides, thereby improving the mixing rate, so that in practice it can be flexibly adjusted according to needs and different material properties.

[0028] Similarly, since the material inside the accommodating chamber falls vertically, the smaller the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane, the stronger the effect of hindering the material movement speed. That is, when the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane is zero, it can completely hinder the physical movement speed and prevent the material from falling into the discharge pipe 10.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure the best mixing efficiency, the device constrains the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane to be forty degrees. In this state, the arc materials on the left and right sides can be completely staggered, and the arc materials on the left and right sides will not impact the baffle 11 on the opposite side, thereby avoiding mutual interference and reducing the falling speed of the material on the baffle 11 so that the arc materials on both sides cannot be staggered.

[0030] It should be emphasized that in order to avoid the material falling vertically too fast, resulting in its migration distance on the horizontal plane being too short, causing the material arcs on the left and right sides to be only slightly staggered or not staggered at all, this device constrains the angle between the lower end surface of each baffle 11 and the horizontal plane to be no more than 60°.

[0031] Furthermore, the device constrains the distance between the side end face of each baffle 11 and the inner wall of the storage bin 8 and the partition 12 to less than 1 cm when the angle between the upper end face of each baffle 11 and the horizontal plane is 0°. This is primarily to ensure the device's barrier properties when the material is not tilted. In this state, the accumulated materials squeeze and rub against each other, ensuring that even with small gaps, the material cannot leak through the gaps between the baffle 11 and the inner wall of the storage bin 8 or between the baffle 11 and the partition 12. At the same time, maintaining a certain clearance also allows the baffle 11 to move up and down normally, avoiding the baffle 11 being unable to rotate normally due to positional constraints.

[0032] Specifically, in order to realize the mobile discharging process for the trough and ensure that sufficient material can be evenly placed inside the trough, the device is fixedly connected to the front end of the storage bin 8 with a driving member 9, and the driving member 9 is penetrated by an internal threaded hole I and a limit hole in the left and right axial directions.

[0033] The device is provided with a fixing frame 1 at the upper end of the storage bin 8, and the lower end of the fixing frame 1 is rotatably connected to a limit rod 6 and a screw rod 7. At this time, the constraint screw is inserted into the internal threaded hole I and is threadedly connected to the driving member 9, and the constraint limit rod 6 is inserted into the limit hole and is slidably connected to the driving member 9. The limit rod 6 can be used to constrain the rotation of the driving member 9, so that the driving member 9 can be driven to move left and right linearly during the rotation of the screw. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a drive motor is provided at one axial end of the lead screw, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw, and the rotation of the lead screw is achieved by the drive motor.

[0034] It should be noted that, in practice, a chicken house generally includes a ceiling and support columns for supporting the ceiling. Therefore, the fixing frame 1 can be fixed to the side ends of the support columns to achieve overall position support.

[0035] At the same time, in order to realize automatic material feeding during the movement of the storage bin 8, the device is rotatably connected to the pull ropes 15 near the ends of the two baffles 11, and a through hole is opened on the partition 12 of the device, and the follower rod 4 is inserted into the through hole. The lower end of the follower rod 4 is rotatably connected to the two pull ropes 15 in the same vertical plane. This makes it possible to control the inclination angle of the upper end face of the baffle 11 by moving the follower rod 4 up and down, thereby realizing the constraint of the falling path of the material through the baffle 11.

[0036] Therefore, the device is fixedly connected to a driven rod 5 at the upper end of the follower rod 4, and the device is fixedly connected to a limit plate 2 at the upper end of the fixed frame 1, whose left and right ends are higher than the middle section height. By constraining the lower end of the driven rod 5 to abut against the limit plate 2, the follower rod 4 can be driven by the limit plate 2 to change the upper and lower heights during the process of the storage bin 8 driving the follower rod 4 to move left and right, thereby realizing the control of the inclination angle of the upper end face of the baffle 11.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to prevent a single pull rope 15 from being damaged due to excessive force, and to prevent a single follower rod 4 from being twisted and deformed due to excessive force, the device is equipped with multiple pull ropes 15 arranged in parallel from front to back on each baffle 11. At the same time, each pull rope 15 is correspondingly provided with a follower rod 4, and the upper ends of the multiple follower rods 4 are fixedly connected to a driven rod 5.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to avoid excessive friction resistance between the driven rod 5 and the limit plate 2, which causes the driven rod 5 to be subjected to a large horizontal thrust and thus twist and deform, the device is provided with a sleeve 3 on the outer shell of the driven rod 5, which constrains the sleeve 3 to be rotatably connected to the driven rod 5, and the sleeve 3 abuts against the limit plate 2. The rolling contact between the sleeve 3 and the limit plate 2 can be used to reduce the horizontal thrust received by the follower rod 4 during its movement.

[0039] It should be noted that since the length of the pull rope 15, the length of the follower rod 4, and the shape of the limit plate 2 are fixed, the contact position between the follower rod 5 and the limit plate 2 determines the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane without applying additional constraints. Therefore, in order to adjust the upper end face of the baffle 11 according to the internal conditions of the chicken house, the device has internal threaded holes II on the left and right sides of the storage bin 8, and the internal threaded holes II are screwed with adjustment bolts 14. At this time, by constraining each adjustment bolt 14 to be located below the baffle 11 on the same side, and the adjustment bolt 14 abuts against the corresponding baffle 11, the adjustment bolt 14 can be used to control the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane. In practice, when the driven rod 5 moves to the left from the rightmost end of the limit plate 2, first, the driven rod 5 is at the highest point of its stroke. At this time, the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane is zero. Afterwards, as the driven rod 5 moves to the left, the height of the driven rod 5 gradually decreases. At this time, the baffle 11 rotates downward until the baffle 11 abuts against the corresponding adjusting bolt 14. At this time, the height of the driven rod 5 can still be lowered, and as the height of the driven rod 5 continues to decrease, the pull rope 15 changes from a taut state to a relaxed state.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to control and ensure that the material has a certain initial velocity during the falling process so that the material can undergo sufficient horizontal position migration, and to ensure that the material can be completely constrained by the inclination angle of the baffle 11 during the falling process, the device is fixed with a constraint tube 13 in each accommodating cavity. The projection of the constraint tube 13 on the vertical plane is a trapezoidal structure, and the projection of the upper end of the constraint tube 13 on the horizontal plane completely covers the projection of the lower end of the constraint tube 13 on the horizontal plane. This ensures that the material has a certain initial velocity when it falls on the baffle 11 through the distance between the constraint tube 13 and the baffle 11, and the projection of the constraint baffle 11 on the horizontal plane completely covers the corresponding projection of the lower end of the constraint tube 13 on the horizontal plane, which ensures that the material can completely fall to the middle section of the baffle 11 and be constrained by the baffle 11.

[0041] At the same time, when the angle between the lower end face of each baffle 11 and the horizontal plane is equal to 0°, the distance between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the corresponding lower end face of the constraint tube 13 is less than 1 cm. This is mainly to ensure that when the baffle 11 rotates up and down, it can quickly prevent the material inside the constraint tube 13 from falling, and avoid the accumulation of more material on the upper end of the baffle 11 to exert excessive downward pressure on the limit plate 2.

[0042] It should be emphasized that when the angle between the upper end face of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane is equal to 0°, due to the gap between the baffle 11 and the constraint tube 13, there is still a pile of material on the upper end of the baffle 11 at this time. In this state, when the baffle 11 is rotated downward to tilt the material into the trough, the material on the baffle 11 can enter the trough first. This is mainly to compensate for the problem that in the initial state, the materials in the inner cavity of the constraint tube 13 are stacked and squeezed with each other, resulting in a small amount of material falling through the constraint tube 13 in the initial state. This can ensure that the materials in the trough are evenly distributed.

[0043] In actual use, the utility model:

[0044] First, move the storage bin 8 to one end of the limit plate 2. Then, the driven rod 5 is at the highest point of its stroke, and the angle between the upper end surface of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane is equal to 0°.

[0045] Then, the operator pours the material into the storage bin 8. The material is then accumulated on the baffle 11 to form a material pile with a vertical projection of a trapezoid, and the upper end surface of the trapezoid abuts against the restraining tube 13.

[0046] After that, the adjusting bolt 14 is rotated to determine the length of the adjusting bolt 14 immersed in the storage bin 8 according to the material conditions;

[0047] Then, the operator turns on the corresponding drive motor, and the storage bin 8 moves from one end of the limit plate 2 to the other end. During this process, the height of the driven rod 5 is lowered, the baffle 11 rotates downward until it abuts against the adjusting bolt 14, and the pull rope 15 also changes from a tight state to a loose state. At the same time, the material continues to fall and impact the baffle 11. The arcs of the materials on both sides intersect and merge with each other, and then enter the trough through the discharge pipe 10;

[0048] Afterwards, as the storage bin 8 continues to move, the height of the driven rod 5 remains at its lowest point for a period of time and then begins to rise. During the rising process, the pull rope 15 changes from a relaxed state to a tight state, and the pull rope 15 pulls the baffle 11 upward until the angle between the upper end surface of the baffle 11 and the horizontal plane is equal to 0°. At the same time, during this process, the arcs of materials on both sides migrate on the horizontal plane after leaving the baffle 11 and the migration distance becomes shorter and shorter until the materials are re-accumulated into a trapezoidal material pile on the baffle 11;

[0049] Finally, the operator turns on the corresponding drive motor in the reverse direction according to the feeding time, so that the storage bin 8 returns to the initial point and starts the second feeding.

[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
