Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, in particular to an automatic feeding device for cattle animal husbandry. Background Art

[0002] A cattle feeding trough is an appliance used by cattle to eat feed. The cattle trough is one of the appliances inherited from the ancient farming era. Its basic manufacturing material is rock, mostly large pieces of bluestone. The cattle trough made of bluestone is sturdy and not easy to damage, and is quite popular. Nowadays, with the advent of the era of agricultural mechanization, cattle troughs are rarely seen in farmers' homes in plain areas, but are still common in mountainous areas, breeders, and grasslands. In the process of feeding liquid feed, the existing cattle feeding troughs require staff to manually add feed to the inside of the trough when using the existing cattle feeding troughs. Not only is the labor intensity high, but it is also inconvenient for workers to accurately control the amount of liquid feed. At the same time, the feeding work consumes more time, which affects the overall work efficiency of the staff.

[0003] After searching the utility patent with patent number CN217117209U, an automated feeding device for cattle livestock breeding is disclosed, including a support body, and also including: an automatic feeding mechanism connected to the support body, the automatic feeding mechanism includes a pressure plate slidingly connected to the support body, the pressure plate is connected to a rack, the rack is meshingly connected to a gear, the gear is rotatably installed in the support body, the gear is connected to a pulley through a pulley, one end of the pull wire is fixedly installed with a feeding box, the feeding box is connected to a reset structure, and the reset structure is connected to the support body; a barrel installed in the support body, the barrel is connected to a auger conveyor; a feeding trough fixedly connected to the support body.

[0004] Compared with the existing technology, the utility patent with patent number CN217117209U uses an automatic feeding mechanism, which is activated by the gravity of the cattle to achieve automatic feed addition for one cow at a time. This device uses pressure sensing to add feed to the cattle trough, which can facilitate automatic feeding when the staff is not present.

[0005] However, in the above scheme, the cattle trough is fed by pressure sensing, but the amount of feed added each time is fixed, and the amount of feed consumed by the cattle each time is different. Feed is injected into the trough every time the cattle eat, and the cycle repeats. If too much feed is added to the trough, too much feed will accumulate inside the trough, causing deterioration. Therefore, an automated feeding device for cattle animal husbandry is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that the amount of feed eaten by cattle each time is different, and the added feed is fixed. The feed accumulated at the bottom of the feeding trough in such a cycle may cause deterioration, so an automatic feeding device for cattle livestock breeding is proposed.

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

[0008] An automated feeding device for cattle livestock breeding comprises a feed accumulator, one side of the feed accumulator being provided with a feeding mechanism for delivering feed to a feeding trough, the feeding mechanism comprising a conveyor outside the feed accumulator, a feed recovery pipe being fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor, a feed receiver being fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed recovery pipe, the other end of the feed receiver being connected to a side of the feeding trough, a chute being slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough, a rack being fixedly connected to one side of the chute, and a second rotating wheel being meshedly connected to the other side of the rack;

[0009] The other end of the second rotating wheel is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first rotating wheel, and the first rotating wheel is meshed with a rotating belt on the outside, and a sweeper is fixedly connected above the rotating belt, and the sweeper is slidably connected to a feeding trough, and a spring is provided below the feeding trough, and the other side of the spring is fixedly connected to a support plate, and a compression plate for starting the storage machine is provided above the support plate.

[0010] The above technical solution further includes:

[0011] Two groups of first rotating wheels for supporting the rotating belt are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the feeding trough, and one end of the second rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the feeding trough.

[0012] A starter is fixedly connected above the support plate, and a compression plate is fixedly connected above the starter.

[0013] A notch is provided on one side of the feeding trough, and a slurry for reusing the feed on the surface of the chute is arranged inside the conveyor.

[0014] The surface of the chute is provided with a recovery trough for collecting surface feed, which is convenient for recovering the feed left at the bottom of the feed trough and preventing the feed at the bottom from deteriorating.

[0015] A storage space is provided inside the feed storage machine, and holes are provided on the surface of the sweeper. The holes can prevent the feed from being swept to one side, thereby causing uneven distribution of the feed.

[0016] The upper slurry side portion is rotatably connected to the conveyor, and the feed inside is transported to the inside of the feeding trough through stable operation inside the conveyor.

[0017] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, holes are provided on the surface of the sweeper. As the feed accumulates on the surface of the chute, the sweeper can slide along the grooves provided on the surface of the feeding trough, so that the feed accumulated from the feeder can be spread out. When the spring at the bottom of the chute is deformed, the starter on the surface of the support plate will start the accumulator to replenish the feed, thereby automating the replenishment of feed and reducing the workload of humans.

[0019] 2. The brush at the bottom of the sweeper will sweep the feed remaining on the surface of the chute into the recovery trough, which can ensure that the feed on the surface of the chute is clean. When the feed is added, the feed collector will absorb the feed remaining in the recovery trough. When the feed storage machine is in use, the feed recovery pipe will absorb the feed inside the feed collector, thereby ensuring stable feed replenishment.

[0020] 3. In the utility model, when the rack moves up and down, the second rotating wheel is supported by the feeding trough to rotate, which ensures the stability of the cleaning of the chute surface. Holes are opened on the surface of the sweeper. On the one hand, it can prevent the feed from being swept to one side of the feeding trough. On the other hand, the feed can be evenly spread on the surface of the chute, providing convenient feeding conditions for cattle breeding. A storage space is provided inside the feed collector, which is convenient for sweeping the bottom feed into the recovery trough and accumulating it in the pipe at the bottom of the recovery trough. A compression plate is fixedly connected above the starter to protect the starter from being squeezed and damaged by the internal sensor block. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the utility model proposes an automated feeding device for cattle livestock breeding, comprising a feed accumulator 1, a feeding mechanism for delivering feed to a feeding trough 15 is provided on one side of the feed accumulator 1, the feeding mechanism comprising a conveyor 2 outside the feed accumulator 1, a feed recovery pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor 2, a feed receiver 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed recovery pipe 4, the other end of the feed receiver 5 is connected to the side of the feeding trough 15, a chute 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough 15, a rack 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the chute 14, and a second rotating wheel 8 is meshedly connected to the other side of the rack 9;

[0031] The other end of the second rotating wheel 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first rotating wheel 7. The first rotating wheel 7 is externally meshed with a rotating belt 6. A sweeper 16 is fixedly connected above the rotating belt 6. The sweeper 16 is slidably connected to a feeding trough 15. A spring 11 is provided below the feeding trough 15. The other side of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to a support plate 10. A compression plate 13 for starting the storage machine 1 is provided above the support plate 10.

[0032] The working principle of the automatic feeding device for cattle animal husbandry proposed by the present invention is that, during cattle animal husbandry, the feed is sent to the surface of the chute 14 through the conveyor 2 by starting the storage machine 1. Under the pressure of the feed, the spring 11 at the bottom of the chute 14 will be deformed, so that the chute 14 slides along the inner wall of the feeding trough 15. When the chute 14 slides, a rack 9 is provided on the side of the chute 14. The rack 9 moves down with the chute 14, and the second rotating wheel 8 rotates to drive the first rotating wheel 7. The rotating belt 6 outside the first rotating wheel 7 rotates along the first rotating wheel 7. During the displacement process, the first rotating wheel 7 drives the sweeper 16 inside the feeding trough 15 to slide along the surface of the chute 14. Since holes are provided on the surface of the sweeper 16, as the weight of the feed increases, the surface of the chute 14 can be moved down as the chute 14 descends. The sweeper 16 slides along the slot opened on the side of the feeding trough 15, so that the accumulated feed can be spread out. As the feed decreases during the feeding process, the spring 11 at the bottom of the chute 14 is deformed. At this time, the starter 12 on the surface of the support plate 10 will start the feed storage machine 1 to replenish the feed until the chute 14 contacts the starter 12 under the weight of the feed, thereby stopping the addition of feed. During the rising process, the rack 9 moves up and drives 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the brush at the bottom of the sweeper 16 will sweep the feed on the surface of the gradually rising chute 14 into the inside of the recovery trough 17. At the same time as the feed is added, the feed collector 5 will absorb the feed remaining in the recovery trough 17. When the feed storage machine 1 is in use, the feed recovery pipe 4 absorbs the feed inside the feed collector 5, and the bottom feed is transported to the surface of the chute 14 through the conveyor 2.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the first embodiment, two groups of first rotating wheels 7 for supporting the rotating belt 6 are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the feeding trough 15, and one end of the second rotating wheel 8 is rotatably connected to the feeding trough 15.

[0035] A starter 12 is fixedly connected above the support plate 10 , and a compression plate 13 is fixedly connected above the starter 12 .

[0036] A notch is provided on one side of the feeding trough 15 , and a slurry 3 for reusing the feed on the surface of the chute 14 is provided inside the conveyor 2 .

[0037] A recovery trough 17 is provided on the surface of the chute 14 for collecting feed on the surface.

[0038] A storage space is provided inside the accumulator 1 , and holes are provided on the surface of the sweeper 16 .

[0039] The side of the upper slurry 3 is rotatably connected to the conveyor 2.

[0040] The working principle of the automated feeding device for cattle animal husbandry proposed by the present invention is that while the rack 9 moves up and down, the second rotating wheel 8 is supported by the feeding trough 15 to rotate, thereby cleaning the belt sweeper 16, ensuring the stable cleaning of the surface of the chute 14, and providing holes on the surface of the sweeper 16. On the one hand, it can prevent the feed from being swept to one side of the feeding trough 15, and on the other hand, the feed can be evenly spread on the surface of the chute 14, providing convenient feeding conditions for cattle animal husbandry. A storage space is provided inside the material collector 5, which can facilitate the accumulation of bottom feed in the pipe at the bottom of the recovery trough 17 when it is swept into the recovery trough 17. A slurry 3 is provided inside the conveyor 2 to facilitate the delivery of feed to the top of the conveyor 2. A compression plate 13 is fixedly connected above the starter 12 to protect the starter 12 from being squeezed and damaged by the internal sensing block.

[0041] 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.
