Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of breeding feeders, in particular to a feeding hopper for breeding chickens and ducks. Background Art

[0002] Poultry refers to birds raised artificially for their meat, eggs, and feathers, but also for other uses. They are generally members of the Phasianidae and Anatidae families, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and quail.

[0003] When raising poultry (e.g. chickens and ducks), they are usually fed through automatic feeders. The food outlet of the feeder uses the hourglass principle. When the outlet is cleaned by the pet, the food storage box will be replenished immediately. However, the edge of the feed tray of the traditional feeder is shallow. When chickens and ducks eat, they are likely to take out the feed in the tray and scatter it on the ground, resulting in feed waste. Therefore, a structure similar to a guardrail is installed on the feed tray on the market to prevent chickens and ducks from taking out the feed when eating. Different guardrail structures are configured to adapt to the restrictions of chickens and ducks at different growth stages.

[0004] However, when disassembling and assembling different guardrail structures, the original guardrail structure needs to be removed and then a new guardrail structure is installed. During this process, residues on the surface of the used feeder will adhere to the operator's hands, resulting in a reduced user experience for the operator. In addition, when adjusting multiple feeders, such replacement efficiency is low. Based on this, a feeding hopper for raising chickens and ducks is provided. Utility Model Content

[0029] 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.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 5 The feed hopper 202 is provided with a shielding assembly 3 extending above the feed tray 101, and the shielding assembly 3 is used to block the space above the feed tray 101, so as to prevent the chickens and ducks from digging out the feed at the upper end of the feed tray 101;

[0031] The shielding assembly 3 includes a capacity adjustment unit and a shielding unit; the capacity adjustment unit is used to assist in increasing the capacity of the barrel 201 to adapt to the food intake of chickens and ducks at different growth stages; the shielding unit is used to adjust synchronously with the capacity adjustment unit to shield chickens and ducks at different growth stages;

[0032] The capacity adjustment unit includes an outer sleeve 301, an arc-shaped hook 304, and a limiting slider 305;

[0033] The outer sleeve 301 is sleeved on the outside of the barrel 201 and protrudes to the top of the barrel 201. The height of the outer sleeve 301 protruding from the top of the barrel 201 is used to increase the filling capacity of the barrel 201.

[0034] The arc-shaped hook 304 is movably connected to the outside of the outer sleeve 301, and two limit sliders 305 are evenly distributed along the circumference and fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the outer sleeve 301; the outer circumference of the barrel 201 is distributed with two groups of vertical slide grooves 204 and side T-shaped grooves 205, and the side T-shaped grooves 205 are distributed on one side of the vertical slide grooves 204 and are conductive with the vertical slide grooves 204; the outer sleeve 301 slides relative to the barrel 201 through the limit slider 305 and the vertical slide groove 204, and the limit slider 305 is snapped into the inner side of the side T-shaped groove 205 to achieve the connection and fixation of the outer sleeve 301 and the barrel 201;

[0035] The shielding unit includes a shielding rod 302 and an outer annular shielding plate 303;

[0036] The shielding rods 302 are provided with a plurality of shielding rods 302 and the plurality of shielding rods 302 are distributed circumferentially and fixed to the outer bottom of the outer sleeve 301. The outer annular shielding plate 303 is vertically sleeved on the outer side of the annular edge portion 102 and fixedly connected to the plurality of shielding rods 302. The plurality of shielding rods 302 are used to achieve interval shielding of the space above the feed tray 101, which is used to restrict the chicken and duck claws and prevent the chicken and duck claws from contacting the upper surface of the feed tray 101. The outer annular shielding plate 303 is used to assist in increasing the shielding height of the annular edge portion 102, so as to prevent feed from leaking from the edge of the feed tray 101.

[0037] The bottom of the barrel 201 is fixedly connected with multiple groups of circumferentially distributed L-shaped elastic blocks 203. The top of the material tray 101 has an arc-shaped slot 105 that runs through the bottom of the material tray 101. The barrel 201 is connected and fixed to the material tray 101 by the L-shaped elastic blocks 203 being snapped into the arc-shaped slot 105.

[0038] In this embodiment: when assembling this feeding hopper, first align the L-shaped elastic block 203 at the bottom of the barrel 201 with the arc-shaped slot 105 and insert it (it should be noted that: a group of L-shaped elastic blocks 203 includes two L-shaped elastic blocks 203 and the two L-shaped elastic blocks 203 are symmetrically distributed, and the bottom of the L-shaped elastic block 203 is an arc-shaped structure). At this time, the arc-shaped structure of the bottom of the L-shaped elastic block 203 is squeezed, causing the L-shaped elastic block 203 to deform and shrink, so that it can smoothly pass through the arc-shaped slot 105. When the bottom horizontal part of the L-shaped elastic block 203 passes through the arc-shaped slot 105, it will reset under the action of its own elasticity, thus realizing the clamping connection between the L-shaped elastic block 203 and the arc-shaped slot 105. At this time, the bottom of the barrel 201 is attached to the bottom of the tray 101 and the two are in a fixed state.

[0039] Then, the outer sleeve 301 is sleeved on the outside of the barrel 201, and its limiting slider 305 is inserted along the top of the vertical slide groove 204 and slides downward. When the limiting slider 305 is aligned with the lowermost side-inverted T-slot 205, the outer sleeve 301 and the barrel 201 are rotated relative to each other, so that the limiting slider 305 is rotated into the inside of the side-inverted T-slot 205. At this time, the outer annular shielding plate 303 is sleeved on the outside of the annular edge portion 102;

[0040] If the entire device is then hung by the arc-shaped hook 304, the limiting slider 305 will be inserted into the upper groove of the inverted T-slot 205, thereby fixing the position of the outer sleeve 301 and the barrel 201.

[0041] If the entire device is placed on the ground, the limiting slider 305 will move downward under the gravity of the outer sleeve 301 and be stuck in the lower groove of the inverted T-slot 205, thus fixing the position of the outer sleeve 301 and the barrel 201.

[0042] After the overall assembly is completed, the feed can be poured into the barrel 201, and the feed can fall into the upper end of the feed tray 101 through the discharge port 202, and then provide feed for the chickens and ducks. In this process, the shielding rod 302 realizes the interval shielding of the space above the feed tray 101, which is used to restrict the chicken and duck claws and prevent them from contacting the upper surface of the feed tray 101. The outer annular shielding plate 303 is used to assist in increasing the shielding height of the annular edge portion 102, so as to prevent the feed from leaking from the edge of the feed tray 101;

[0043] As the chickens and ducks grow bigger and their food intake increases, the larger the head movements when eating, the more likely it is that feed will leak from the edge of the feed tray 101. At this time, the shielding component 3 can be adjusted. The operation steps are as follows:

[0044] First, lift the outer sleeve 301 or the barrel 201 to align the limit slider 305 with the horizontal notch of the side-inverted T-slot 205. Then, rotate the outer sleeve 301 and the barrel 201 relative to each other to move the limit slider 305 to the inside of the vertical slide 204. Then, move the outer sleeve 301 upward relative to the barrel 201. When the limit slider 305 is aligned with the next side-inverted T-slot 205, rotate it in the opposite direction to make the limit slider 305 snap into the inside of this side-inverted T-slot 205. At this time, the process is completed. The height of the outer sleeve 301 and the outer annular baffle 303 are adjusted and fixed. The outer sleeve 301 is moved upward to increase its protruding height from the barrel 201, so that more feed can be contained. The upward movement of the outer annular baffle 303 makes the shielding height at the edge of the feed tray 101 higher, so that the feed can be prevented from scattering even when the chickens and ducks move their heads greatly. It should be noted that: there are multiple side T-slots 205 evenly arranged in the vertical direction, so that the device can adapt to the feeding needs of chickens and ducks at different growth stages.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 3-4 The outer side of the conical seat 103 is formed with a plurality of annularly distributed spiral pieces 104. The maximum diameter of the bottom of the conical seat 103 is smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel 201. The spiral pieces 104 guide the feed to achieve uniform feeding.

[0046] In this embodiment: during the feed dropping process, the spiral piece 104 can provide a certain guiding effect for the downward-moving feed, so that the feed close to the conical seat 103 can move along the spiral track, so that the feed inside the barrel 201 maintains a relatively balanced state, avoiding excessive feed dropping in one direction and excessive feed remaining in other directions, which causes it to lose balance. It is mainly used to maintain a good balance state when used in suspension.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The arc-shaped hook 304 is integrally formed by a stamping process, the parts of the shielding component 3 except the arc-shaped hook 304 are integrally formed by an injection molding process, and the chassis component 1 and the hopper component 2 are integrally formed by injection molding processes respectively.

[0048] In this embodiment, this structure makes the overall production and processing of the device simple, easy to promote, and can be directly assembled later, so it is easy to use and simple to operate.

[0049] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
