Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock feeding troughs, in particular to a livestock feeding trough with intelligent identification and automatic feeding. Background Art

[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the production process of livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk and medicinal herbs by using the physiological functions of livestock, poultry and other animals that have been artificially raised and domesticated, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks and quails, through artificial breeding and reproduction, so that they can convert plant energy such as forage and feed into animal energy. This is done by feeding the livestock and using troughs to assist in feeding.

[0003] After searching, the patent with patent announcement number CN202223508674.1 discloses an automatic feeding livestock trough. Although the device closes the livestock trough during automatic feeding and adds feed through the feeding port on the side wall of the trough, it prevents livestock from interfering with the automatic feeding work when scrambling for food during the automatic feeding period, and protects the automatic feeding equipment from damage; the trough cover on the trough body can be automatically opened and closed by a hydraulic cylinder, which reduces the work pressure of workers and improves the feeding efficiency. However, in order to prevent feed accumulation during use, the device needs to be manually pushed to move the entire device to ensure that the feed is evenly distributed in the trough, and the amount of feed added still needs to be manually controlled. Manual control may lead to uneven feeding due to factors such as personal experience and judgment differences, affecting the growth and health of livestock. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a livestock feeding trough with intelligent identification and automatic feeding, which solves the problems raised in the background art.

[0005] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems as follows:

[0006] A livestock feeding trough with intelligent recognition and automatic feeding for livestock, comprising a silo, a trough being installed on one side of the silo,

[0007] The interior of the silo is provided with a guide slope, and the silo is provided with a discharge port at the bottom end of the guide slope. An auger is installed at the guide slope in the silo, and one end of the auger located outside the silo is connected to the motor transmission. A cover plate is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the silo at the discharge port;

[0008] The trough is provided with an inner container and an outer container. The inner container is placed in the outer container, and a weighing sensor is provided between the bottom end of the inner container and the outer container.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, a synchronous wheel is provided at the end of the auger, and a synchronous wheel is also provided at the output end of the motor, and the motor and the synchronous wheel are connected through a synchronous belt transmission.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0012] The synchronous pulley drive offers high transmission accuracy, ensuring stable and even feed delivery from the auger, avoiding feed accumulation or uneven feeding caused by transmission errors. The synchronous pulley drive utilizes elastic materials as transmission elements, absorbing vibration and shock during transmission and reducing transmission noise. This results in smoother and quieter operation of the entire livestock trough system, helping to reduce stress reactions in livestock and improve feeding efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the silo is located above the cover plate and is rotatably connected to an electric push rod, and the output end of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the cover plate, and the cover plate is driven to flip open and close by the electric push rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0015] The use of electric actuators enables automated cover control, eliminating the need for manual operation. This significantly improves work efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and avoids feed waste and equipment damage caused by improper manual operation. By precisely controlling its telescopic length, electric actuators enable precise control of the cover's opening and closing, helping to meet livestock feeding needs and improve feed utilization.

[0016] Furthermore, the weighing sensor is electrically connected to the electric push rod and the motor through a controller, and the electric push rod and the motor are adjusted through feedback from the weighing sensor.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0018] The weighing sensor monitors the weight of feed in the trough in real time and feeds this data back to the controller. The controller automatically adjusts the operating state of the electric actuator and motor based on the preset feed amount or feeding strategy. This automated and intelligent control method significantly improves feeding accuracy and efficiency, reducing manual intervention. Using the feedback from the weighing sensor, the controller precisely controls the feed delivery amount, ensuring that each feeding meets the livestock's actual needs. This precise feeding helps reduce feed waste, improves feed utilization, and maintains livestock health and growth. Thanks to automated and intelligent control, workers no longer need to frequently manually operate equipment or perform tedious feeding tasks. This significantly reduces worker workload, improves work comfort, and helps reduce equipment damage and feed waste caused by improper operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the augers are evenly distributed in the silo, and the arrangement range of the augers is adapted to the range of the discharge port.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0021] The even distribution of the augers within the silo ensures that feed is evenly conveyed and distributed throughout the silo. This prevents localized accumulation of feed and allows for a more even flow into the discharge port. The auger arrangement matches the discharge port, ensuring smoother feed flow from the silo to the discharge port, reducing resistance and energy consumption during the conveying process. This design improves conveying efficiency, ensuring a faster and more consistent feed supply to livestock.

[0022] The utility model provides a livestock feeding trough with intelligent recognition and automatic feeding. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The device uses a weighing sensor to monitor the weight of the feed in the liner in real time and automatically adjusts the operating state of the electric push rod and motor according to the preset feed amount, achieving intelligent feed identification and automatic feeding. This greatly reduces manual intervention and improves feeding accuracy and efficiency.

[0024] The auger installed in the silo is connected by a motor and a synchronous belt to achieve uniform feed distribution. The arrangement range of the auger is adapted to the range of the discharge port, ensuring that the feed can fall into the trough evenly and stably, avoiding feed accumulation and waste.

[0025] The cover on the outer surface of the silo is automatically flipped open and closed by an electric push rod, which not only ensures the closure during feeding, prevents feed from scattering and contamination, but also improves the convenience of operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment provided by the utility model:

[0037] Example 1

[0038] A livestock trough for intelligent identification and automatic feeding includes a feed silo 4, a feed trough 1 installed on one side of the feed silo 4, a guide slope 402 provided inside the feed silo 4, a discharge port 403 provided at the bottom end of the guide slope 402, and an auger 401 installed in the feed silo 4 at the guide slope 402. The auger 401 is evenly distributed in the feed silo 4, and the arrangement range of the auger 401 is adapted to the range of the discharge port 403. The uniform distribution of the auger 401 in the feed silo 4 ensures that the feed can be evenly transported and distributed throughout the feed silo 4. This avoids local accumulation of feed and allows the feed to flow more evenly into the discharge port 403. The arrangement range of the auger 401 is adapted to the range of the discharge port 403, which means that the feed can be more smoothly transported from the feed silo 4 to the discharge port 403 through the auger 401, reducing resistance and energy consumption during transportation. This design improves conveying efficiency, enabling faster and more stable feed delivery to livestock. The end of the auger 401, located outside the silo 4, is connected to the motor 5. A synchronous pulley 7 is located at the end of the auger 401, as is a synchronous pulley 7 at the output end of the motor 5. The motor 5 and synchronous pulley 7 are connected via a synchronous belt 6. This six-wheel transmission offers high precision, ensuring stable and uniform feed delivery by the auger 401, avoiding feed accumulation or uneven feeding caused by transmission errors. The six-wheel transmission utilizes elastic materials as transmission elements, which absorb vibration and impact during transmission and reduce transmission noise. This makes the entire livestock trough 1 device more stable and quiet during operation, helps reduce the stress response of livestock, and improves feeding efficiency. The outer surface of the silo 4 is located at the discharge port 403 and is rotatably mounted with a cover plate 2. The silo 4 is located above the cover plate 2 and is rotatably connected to an electric push rod 3, and the output end of the electric push rod 3 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 2. The electric push rod 3 drives the cover plate 2 to flip open and close. The use of the electric push rod 3 realizes the automatic control of the cover plate 2 without manual operation. This greatly improves work efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and also avoids problems such as feed waste or equipment damage caused by improper manual operation. The electric push rod 3 can achieve precise control of the flipping and opening and closing of the cover plate 2 by accurately controlling its telescopic length, which helps to meet the feeding needs of livestock and improve feed utilization.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] In order to facilitate automatic control of feed delivery, for example, Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present invention further comprises: a feeding trough 1 having an inner liner 102 and an outer shell 103. The inner liner 102 is placed within the outer shell 103, and a load cell 101 is positioned between the bottom of the inner liner 102 and the outer shell 103. The load cell 101 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 3 and the motor 5 via a controller. Feedback from the load cell 101 regulates the electric push rod 3 and the motor 5. The load cell 101 monitors the weight of the feed in the feeding trough 1 in real time and feeds this data back to the controller. The controller automatically adjusts the operating state of the electric push rod 3 and the motor 5 based on a preset feed amount or feeding strategy. This automated and intelligent control method significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of feeding, reducing manual intervention. Using feedback from the load cell 101, the controller can precisely control the amount of feed delivered, ensuring that each feeding meets the actual needs of the livestock. This precise feeding method helps reduce feed waste, improve feed utilization, and maintain livestock health and growth. Thanks to the automated and intelligent control, workers no longer need to frequently operate equipment manually or perform tedious feeding tasks. This greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves work comfort, and also helps reduce problems such as equipment damage or feed waste caused by improper manual operation.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] Feed is stored in silo 4, which features a guide ramp 402 to facilitate smooth feed flow. An auger 401 is evenly distributed within silo 4 and rotated by motor 5. The spiral blades of auger 401 loosen the feed from the bottom of silo 4, allowing it to slide along guide ramp 402 to outlet 403. This design ensures even distribution of feed and prevents accumulation within silo 4.

[0043] The inner liner 102 of the trough 1 is placed in the outer shell 103, and a weighing sensor 101 is provided between the bottom of the inner liner 102 and the outer shell 103. The weighing sensor 101 monitors the weight of the feed in the inner liner 102 in real time and feeds back the data to the controller. The controller compares the data fed back by the weighing sensor 101 with the preset feed amount. When the amount of feed is insufficient, the controller issues an instruction to start the electric push rod 3 and the motor 5. After receiving the instruction, the electric push rod 3 pushes the cover 2 to flip open, exposing the discharge port 403. At the same time, the motor 5 starts and drives the auger 401 to rotate, transporting the feed from the silo 4 to the trough 1. As the feed is continuously added, the weighing sensor 101 continues to monitor the weight of the feed. When the preset feed amount is reached, the controller issues a stop instruction, the electric push rod 3 closes the cover 2, and the motor 5 stops working to achieve precise feeding.
