[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a feeding device for raising Huainan Ma Huang chickens, including a base 1. A feed storage box 2 and a water tank 3 are respectively arranged on the top of the base 1. A first L-shaped support plate 4 is fixed to both side walls of the feed storage box 2, and a second L-shaped support plate 5 is fixed to both side walls of the water tank 3. The bottoms of the first L-shaped support plate 4 and the second L-shaped support plate 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A stirring assembly 6 is arranged on the feed storage box 2. A partition 7 is arranged inside the feed storage box 2. The partition 7 slides through one side wall of the feed storage box 2. A driving assembly 8 is arranged on the feed storage box 2 for driving the partition 7 to move laterally. A discharge pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the feed storage box 2. A feed container 1 is fixedly fixed on the top of the base 1 and below the discharge pipe 9. 0. A weighing sensor 11 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the feed container 10. A shelf 12 is installed on the top of the weighing sensor 11. A drain pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 3. A solenoid valve 15 is installed on the drain pipe 14. A drinking box 16 is fixed on the top of the base 1 and below the drain pipe 14. An ultrasonic level sensor 17 is installed on the top of the drinking box 16. Two columns 18 are symmetrically fixed on the top of the feed storage box 2 and the top of the water tank 3. A top plate 19 is fixed on the top of the four columns 18. A U-shaped seat 20 is fixed on the bottom of the top plate 19. A PLC controller 22 is fixed on one side wall of the U-shaped seat 20. The PLC controller 22 is electrically connected to the weighing sensor 11, the ultrasonic level sensor 17, the stirring assembly 6, the drive assembly 8, and the solenoid valve 15.

[0029] In use, the device is placed in the Ma Huang chicken farm. Feed storage box 2 contains feed, and water tank 3 contains water. When the feed container 10 is empty, its internal weighing sensor 11 detects a low-pressure setpoint and sends this signal to the PLC controller 22. The PLC controller 22 then controls the drive assembly 8 to move the partition 7 outwards, causing feed from the feed storage box 2 to be discharged from the discharge pipe 9 and fall into the feed container 10. When the feed container 10 is nearly full, the weighing sensor 11 detects that the weight has reached the setpoint and sends a signal to the PLC controller 22. The PLC controller 22 then controls the drive assembly 8 to move the partition 7 inwards, preventing feed from falling from the feed storage box 2. When the water supply in the water box 16 is insufficient, the ultrasonic level sensor 17 detects that the water level has dropped to the setpoint and sends a signal to the PLC controller 22. The PLC controller 22 then controls the solenoid valve. When valve 15 is opened, water in water tank 3 will flow through drain pipe 14 into water box 16. When water box 16 is almost full, ultrasonic level sensor 17 detects that the water level has reached the set value and sends a signal to PLC controller 22. PLC controller 22 will control solenoid valve 15 to close, thereby stopping the water from flowing out of water tank 3. It should be noted that feed container 10 and water box 16 are devices that directly provide feed and water to Ma Huang chickens. The stirring component 6 can stir the feed, thereby preventing feed from clumping and mixing various types of feed, thus increasing functionality and applicability. The stirring component 6 can be manually controlled by the operator through PLC controller 22. Therefore, the design of this application allows the operator to avoid frequently feeding and watering Ma Huang chickens, and only needs to periodically check whether the feed in feed storage box 2 and the water in water tank 3 are empty, thus saving manpower and making it more convenient.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the stirring assembly 6 includes five stirring paddles 601 equidistantly arranged within the feed storage tank 2. The top ends of the five stirring paddles 601 are rotatably connected to the top of the feed storage tank 2 via bearings. Two support plates 602 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the feed storage tank 2, and a rotating rod 603 is rotatably connected between the two support plates 602 via bearings. Driven bevel gears 604 are fixed to the top ends of the five stirring paddles 601. Five driving bevel gears 605, meshing with the five driven bevel gears 604, are sleeved and fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 603. A motor 606 is fixed to the top of the feed storage tank 2, and the output shaft of the motor 606 is fixed to one end of the rotating rod 603. The PLC controller 22 is electrically connected to the motor 606. When it is necessary to stir the feed in the feed storage tank 2, the operator can manually operate the PLC controller 22. The PLC controller 22 can control the motor 606 to start, and the motor 606 can drive the rotating rod 603 to rotate. The rotating rod 603 can drive the five driving bevel gears 605 on its surface to rotate. The five driving bevel gears 605 can drive the five driven bevel gears 604 to rotate. The five driven bevel gears 604 can drive the five stirring paddles 601 to rotate, thus effectively stirring the feed in the feed storage tank 2. It should be noted that the partition 7 is located below the stirring paddles 601.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 8 includes two L-shaped mounting plates 801 symmetrically fixed to one side wall of the feed storage box 2. Electric push rods 802 are fixed to the surfaces of both L-shaped mounting plates 801. Connecting plates 803 are fixed to the protruding ends of the two electric push rods 802. One side wall of the connecting plate 803 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the partition 7. Telescopic sleeves 804 are fixed to the surfaces of both L-shaped mounting plates 801. One end of each telescopic sleeve 804 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the connecting plate 803. This is to enable the connecting plate 803 to move more stably in the horizontal direction. The PLC controller 22 is electrically connected to the two electric push rods 802. When it is necessary to drive the partition 7 to move outward, the PLC controller 22 will control the protruding ends of the two electric push rods 802 to move outward. The protruding ends of the electric push rods 802 can drive the connecting plate 803 to move outward, and the connecting plate 803 can drive the partition 7 to move outward.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, a battery 21 is fixed inside the U-shaped base 20, a photovoltaic panel 23 is fixed on the top of the top plate 19, and a charge / discharge controller 24 is fixed on one side wall of the U-shaped base 20. The photovoltaic panel 23 is electrically connected to the charge / discharge controller 24, and the charge / discharge controller 24 is electrically connected to the battery 21 and the PLC controller 22. Solar energy can be utilized through the photovoltaic panel 23 to supplement the battery 21 with electrical energy.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the feed storage box 2 is fixedly connected to a feeding funnel 25. When the feed in the feed storage box 2 is insufficient, feed can be added to it through the feeding funnel 25. The top of the water tank 3 is fixedly connected to a water injection pipe 26. The top of the water injection pipe 26 is threadedly connected to a pipe cap. When the water in the water tank 3 is insufficient, the pipe cap can be unscrewed and water can be added to it through the water injection pipe 26. Two reinforcing plates 27 are symmetrically fixed between the feed storage box 2 and the water tank 3 to improve the structural stability of the feed storage box 2 and the water tank 3. Universal self-locking wheels 13 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1 to facilitate the movement of the device.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
