Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding livestock feed, and in particular relates to an automatic feeding device for livestock feed. Background Art

[0002] Livestock farming not only provides humans with a rich source of food, such as meat, milk, and eggs, but also meets demand for industrial raw materials like leather and wool. With the continuous advancement of agricultural technology and population growth, livestock farming has gradually become a specialized and large-scale industry, playing a vital role in promoting agricultural economic development and increasing farmers' incomes. Raising poultry, such as chickens and ducks, is a crucial component of livestock farming. Currently, poultry farming is typically carried out in greenhouses, such as duck sheds. A typical greenhouse can house around 4,000 birds, while larger ones can accommodate over 10,000. Such large numbers of birds require a large amount of feed. Current methods of manually placing feed in the greenhouse, filling multiple feeding bowls with feed, are labor-intensive and inefficient. Using farm vehicles for distribution can also scare the birds, impacting egg production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic feed delivery device for animal husbandry to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 The figure shows an automatic feed delivery device for livestock breeding, comprising a feed tank 1. The feed delivery end of the feed tank 1 is connected to a tube chain conveyor 2. The tube chain conveyor 2 is connected to a plurality of temporary storage tanks 4 via several feed pipes 3. The temporary storage tanks 4 are fixed to the ground. The feed delivery end of the temporary storage tank 4 is connected to a feeder via a feed pipe 5. The feed pipe 3 is externally connected to a movable pipe 6. The temporary storage tanks 4 have legs that can support the temporary storage tanks 4 on the ground.

[0024] A stud 7 is fixed on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 3 , a nut 8 is threadedly connected to the stud 7 , and the bottom end of the discharge pipe 3 passes through the top end of the temporary storage tank 4 .

[0025] The movable tube 6 is provided with a strip hole 9, the stud 7 is located in the strip hole 9, the nut 8 is threaded with the stud 7 and then crimped onto the outer wall of the movable tube 6, and the bottom end of the movable tube 6 passes through the top of the temporary storage tank 4. After the nut 8 is tightened, the movable tube 6 can be fixed to the discharge tube 3.

[0026] The feeder includes an outer cover 10, an inner cover 11, a feeding bowl 12, and several connecting columns 13. The inner cover 11 is fixed in the feeding bowl 12, the outer cover 10 is located outside the inner cover 11, the bottom end of the outer cover 10 is connected to the feeding bowl 12 through several connecting columns 13, and the drop pipe 5 is connected to the top of the outer cover 10.

[0027] The feeding bowl 12 is circular, and the inner cover 11 has an arched cross-section. The inner cover 11 is located in the center of the feeding bowl 12. The space between the outer wall of the inner cover 11 and the inner wall of the feeding bowl 12 forms an annular trough structure for feeding. The arched cross-section of the inner cover 11 allows feed to fall onto the inner cover 11 and then fall along the outer wall of the inner cover 11, thus preventing food from accumulating.

[0028] The outer cover 10 has a circular arched cross-section and fits over the inner cover 11. A gap exists between the two, allowing feed to fall into the feeding bowl 12. The bottom of the outer cover 10 is lower than the top edge of the feeding bowl 12. Feed enters the gap between the outer and inner covers 10, 11, through the feeding tube 5 and falls into the feeding trough formed between the inner cover 11 and the feeding bowl 12. Because the feed consists of cylindrical particles, it has poor fluidity. When the feed in the feeding bowl 12 rises to the lower end of the outer cover 10, a bridge forms between the feed particles, blocking the lower end of the gap between the outer and inner covers 10, 11. The feed particles no longer fall, but instead accumulate in the gap between the outer and inner covers 10, 11, and in the feeding tube 5. When poultry such as chickens and ducks peck at the feed, the feed in the feeding basin 12 is continuously reduced, and the bridge effect cannot be formed, so the feed continues to fall into the feeding basin 12, and this is repeated.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0030] During use, different types of feed are placed in the mixing tank 1 and stirred to mix. The valve at the discharge end is then opened, and the mixed feed flows from the discharge end of the mixing tank 1 into the tube chain conveyor 2. After the tube chain conveyor 2 is started, the feed is conveyed to each temporary storage tank 4 through each discharge pipe 3. The feed continues from the temporary storage tank 4 through the drop pipe 5 into the gap between the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 11 of the feeder, and falls into the feeding trough formed between the inner cover 11 and the feeding bowl 12.

[0031] Because the feed is cylindrical in shape, it has poor fluidity. When the feed in the feeding bowl 12 rises to the lower end of the outer cover 10, a bridge is formed between the feed particles, blocking the lower end of the gap between the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 11. The feed particles no longer fall, but accumulate in the gap between the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 11 and in the drop tube 5. When poultry such as chickens and ducks peck at the feed, the feed in the feeding bowl 12 decreases continuously, and the bridge effect cannot be formed. The feed continues to fall into the feeding bowl 12, and this cycle repeats.

[0032] Because the poultry's pecking speed is much slower than the conveying speed of the tube chain conveyor 2, the feed in the tube chain conveyor 2 quickly falls into the temporary storage tank 4. The feed level in the temporary storage tank 4 increases until the level blocks the bottom of the movable tube 6, and the feed continues to fill the feed pipe 3. The feed in the tube chain conveyor 2 no longer falls into this temporary storage tank 4, but is pushed into the second temporary storage tank 4 by the disc inside the tube chain conveyor 2. This cycle repeats until all temporary storage tanks 4 are filled with feed to a certain level, and all feeding bowls 12 are also filled with feed.

[0033] Because poultry farming is not fixed, the number of poultry raised in each batch fluctuates. Furthermore, poultry mortality is high, so feed requirements also fluctuate. Furthermore, the age of the poultry raised in each batch varies, and their appetites also vary, further increasing the volatility of feed requirements. However, the capacity of each temporary storage tank 4 remains constant. If the same amount of feed is provided to each batch of poultry, not only would costs increase, but feed residue in the temporary storage tank 4 would deteriorate, increasing poultry mortality.

[0034] If the amount of feed required is reduced, it is not impossible to reduce the number of feeding bowls 12 accordingly. However, for young poultry, although they have a small appetite, they eat a lot. Reducing the number of feeding bowls 12 will lead to serious competition for food among poultry, and the mortality rate will increase accordingly. At the same time, it will also greatly extend the feeding time, which is not conducive to scientific breeding.

[0035] Therefore, the most scientific approach is to simultaneously reduce the amount of feed in the temporary storage tank 4. At this point, loosen nut 8 to allow the movable tube 6 to move downward. Once it reaches the desired position, tighten nut 8 to secure the movable tube 6 to the discharge tube 3. Once the feed level reaches the bottom of the movable tube 6, the bridge effect between the feed particles prevents the feed in the discharge tube 3 from falling further, thereby controlling the feed level in the temporary storage tank 4 at a certain height and thus changing the amount of feed stored in the temporary storage tank 4. Of course, automatic valves or level meters can also be used for control, automatically closing the valve when the feed level reaches a certain height, but this is more expensive.

[0036] In this way, the amount of ingredients is well controlled during the batching process. When the feed is sequentially delivered to each temporary storage tank 4 via the tube chain conveyor 2, the feed in the batching tank 1 is completely delivered. Of course, this is only the most ideal state. It is possible that there is too much feed. In this case, there is no need to worry. Wait for the poultry to peck for a while, then start the tube chain conveyor 2 again. Since the tube chain conveyor 2 is in a cyclic operation, the over-prepared feed will enter the temporary storage tank 4 again, preventing waste. You can also open a new discharge port on the tube chain conveyor 2 to discharge the over-prepared feed.

[0037] The above-described embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Any modifications and improvements to the technical solution of the present invention made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the design concept of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The technology, shape and structure that are not described in detail in this utility model are all well-known technologies.
