Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pigeon breeding, in particular to an automatic feeding trough for pigeon breeding. Background Art
[0002] In current pigeon farming, the feeding troughs used for feeding are all traditional bar troughs, which require manual feeding during feeding. This undoubtedly consumes a large amount of manpower for batch farming. In addition, pigeons eat multiple times a day. If more food is added to the feeding trough at one time to reduce the number of feeding times, the pigeons will often peck the food out of the feeding trough due to their nature, which undoubtedly causes a large amount of food waste. If less food is added to the feeding trough at each time to reduce food waste, the staff will need to feed the pigeons multiple times a day, which further increases the staff's labor intensity. Therefore, a kind of automatic feeding trough for pigeon farming has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0017] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an automatic feeding trough for pigeon breeding includes a food storage box 1, and two vertical support plates 2 are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of one side of the food storage box 1.
[0018] A horizontal limit plate 3 is fixedly provided on the opposite side of the two support plates 2 at the end away from the food storage box 1. A vertical slide bar 4 is slidably installed on each limit plate 3. The upper ends of the two slide bars 4 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the load-bearing pedal 5, and each slide bar 4 is provided with a spring 6 at the position between the load-bearing pedal 5 and the corresponding limit plate 3. A touch head 7 is fixedly installed on the lower end of each slide bar 4, and a contact switch 8 is fixedly installed below the two touch heads 7 on the two support plates 2. In this embodiment, a protective cover 9 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the opposite side of the two support plates 2. The lower end of the protective cover 9 is a closed structure and the contact switch 8 is installed at the inner bottom end of the protective cover 9. The touch head 7 and the protective cover 9 are slidably matched.
[0019] A feeding trough 10 is fixedly installed between the middle parts of the two support plates 2 at a position close to the supporting pedal 5. Specifically, a horizontal mounting plate 11 is fixedly provided between the middle parts of the two support plates 2, the feeding trough 10 is installed above the mounting plate 11 and a weighing sensor 12 is installed between the mounting plate 11 and the bottom of the feeding trough 10.
[0020] The food storage box 1 has multiple auger conveyors 13 installed at even intervals and angled upward on the lower end of one side near the feeding trough 10. The free end of the discharge port 14 of each auger conveyor 13 is located above the feeding trough 10. In addition, the bottom plate of the food storage box 1 is tilted downward along the side facing the multiple auger conveyors 13, so that the multiple auger conveyors 13 can easily discharge the food inside the food storage box 1 outward. The upper end of the food storage box 1 is an open structure and is hingedly mounted with a box cover 15 that is compatible with its opening. By opening the box cover 15, food can be added to the food storage box 1 for storage.
[0021] The present invention further includes a controller (not shown) mounted on the outside of one of the support plates 2. The contact switches 8, load cells 12, and the motors 16 of the auger conveyors 13 are all electrically connected to the controller. The controller is a programmable logic controller. When the contact switches and load cells transmit sensing signals to the controller, the controller controls the opening and closing states of the auger conveyors according to a preset program.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] When the pressure head contacts the contact switch and the weighing sensor does not sense the overweight signal of the set weight, the controller will control the motor of each auger conveyor to turn on; and when the pressure head does not contact the contact or the weighing sensor senses the overweight signal, if either of the above two conditions is met, the controller will control the motor of each auger conveyor to be in the off state.
[0024] When the pigeons land on the load-bearing pedal, they press down on it, causing it, along with the two slide bars and the pressure head at the bottom, to move downward. The pressure head contacts a contact switch, which transmits a signal to the controller. At this point, there's no food in the feeding trough, so the weighing sensor doesn't sense an overweight signal. The controller then starts the motors on each auger conveyor, which then spirally delivers food from the storage box through the discharge port into the feeding trough for the pigeons to eat. This achieves automatic feeding and reduces labor intensity. When the pigeons leave the load-bearing pedal, or if the amount of food in the feeding trough is so high that the weighing sensor senses an overweight signal, the controller automatically shuts down the motors on each auger conveyor, preventing overfeeding and reducing food waste.
[0025] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present invention made by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
