[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] This embodiment of an automatic feeding device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine relates to the field of automatic feeding technology. Through the coordinated operation of the feed conveying component 100, the medicine conveying component 200, and the liquid medicine conveying component 300, solid medicines and liquid medicines are delivered in real time while the feed is quantitatively fed. The medicines are added at the moment of feed feeding, which greatly reduces the exposure time of the medicines, thereby effectively maintaining the efficacy of the medicines and ensuring that sick animals receive the best treatment results.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 An automatic feeding device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine in this embodiment includes: a feed conveying component 100, a medicine conveying component 200, and a medicine liquid conveying component 300. The feed conveying component 100 is used to quantitatively convey feed, the medicine conveying component 200 is used to convey solid medicines in real time, and the medicine liquid conveying component 300 is used to convey medicine liquids in real time. As the feed is fed, solid medicines and liquid medicines are input into the feed in real time, reducing the exposure time of the drugs and ensuring the therapeutic effect of the drugs.

[0033] The feed conveying assembly 100 includes a feed storage bin 110 and a first screw conveyor 120. The input end of the first screw conveyor 120 is connected to the feed storage bin 110. Each rotation of the first screw conveyor 120 outputs a certain amount of feed from the feed storage bin 110, achieving automatic quantitative feed output. The medicine conveying assembly 200 is connected to the first screw conveyor 120. During the operation of the first screw conveyor 120, a certain amount of solid medicine can be input into the first screw conveyor 120, ensuring that the content of solid medicine in the feed is at a predetermined concentration.

[0034] The drug delivery assembly 300 includes a storage bottle 310 for storing the drug solution and a gear pump 320. The drive shaft of the gear pump 320 is coaxially connected to the drive shaft of the first screw conveyor 120. For every rotation of the first screw conveyor 120, the gear in the gear pump 320 also rotates once. The two delivery ports of the gear pump 320 are respectively connected to the storage bottle 310 and the first screw conveyor 120. The delivery of the drug solution and the delivery of the feed are carried out synchronously. The amount of feed input is precisely controlled to control the amount of drug solution added, which can ensure that the ratio of drug to feed meets the treatment requirements, while avoiding waste or shortage of drug.

[0035] During use, the first screw conveyor 120 and the medicine conveying assembly 200 operate at different speeds under the drive of a servo motor, mixing a certain amount of feed and solid medicine in a determined ratio. While the first screw conveyor 120 is running, it drives the gear pump 320 to rotate, inputting a fixed amount of medicine into the mixture of feed and solid medicine in real time. While quantitatively dispensing feed, it reduces the exposure time of the medicine and ensures the therapeutic effect of the medicine.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The first screw conveyor 120 includes a first cylinder 121, a first rotating shaft 122, and screw blades 123. The first rotating shaft 122 is inserted into the first cylinder 121, and the screw blades 123 are disposed on the first rotating shaft 122. The screw blades 123, the first rotating shaft 122, and the inner wall of the first cylinder 121 form a spiral conveying space, driving the feed to move and improving the feed conveying efficiency. The first rotating shaft 122 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the gear pump 320, which ensures the synchronous dispensing of medicine and feed. By precisely controlling the rotation speed, quantitative mixing of medicine and feed can be achieved, ensuring that the medicine is fresh when fed and avoiding a reduction in efficacy. By concentrating the mixing process of medicine and feed at the time of feeding, the exposure time of the medicine can be significantly reduced, reducing contact with air, thereby improving the stability and effectiveness of the medicine.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The gear pump 320 is located at the end of the first cylinder 121 furthest from the storage tank 110. The gear pump 320 is fixedly connected to the storage tank 110. The first rotating shaft 122 passes through the end of the first cylinder 121 and is connected to the drive shaft of the gear pump 320. The relative rotation of the first rotating shaft 122 drives the gear pump 320 to run synchronously. In addition, the gear pump 320 is located at the far end of the first cylinder 121, which helps to optimize the spatial layout of the equipment, reduce the overall footprint of the equipment, and make installation and maintenance more convenient.

[0038] The inlet of the gear pump 320 is connected to the storage bottle 310, and the outlet of the gear pump 320 is connected to the first cylinder 121 via a pipe. The connection between the inlet and the storage bottle 310 prevents contamination of the drug solution during delivery, maintains its purity, and ensures the efficacy and safety of the medicine. The connection between the outlet of the gear pump 320 and the first cylinder 121 via a pipe allows for easy adjustment of the drug delivery method and rate to adapt to different dosing needs, improving the system's flexibility and adaptability.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The reservoir bottle 310 has its opening facing downwards and is relatively vertical. Gravity allows the liquid to flow smoothly into the gear pump 320, reducing the pump's suction requirements and improving delivery efficiency. The vertically positioned reservoir bottle 310 also ensures liquid stability during delivery, preventing air bubbles or blockages and ensuring continuous and stable operation of the gear pump 320.

[0040] The storage bottle 310 is connected to the first cylinder 121 via threads. The inlet of the gear pump 320 passes through the first cylinder 121 and communicates with the storage bottle. The threaded connection design simplifies the connection between the storage bottle 310 and the first cylinder 121, making it easier to install and replace the storage bottle 310 and reducing operational difficulty. At the same time, the threaded connection between the storage bottle 310 and the first cylinder 121 can effectively reduce the risk of leakage of the liquid at the connection point, enhance the overall system's sealing performance, and improve safety.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drug delivery assembly 200 includes a hopper 210 for storing solid drugs and a second screw conveyor 220. The input end of the second screw conveyor 220 is connected to the hopper 210, and the output end of the second screw conveyor 220 is connected to the first screw conveyor 120. The second screw conveyor 220 can efficiently transport solid drugs from the hopper 210 to the first screw conveyor 120, achieving rapid and accurate drug delivery to meet treatment needs.

[0042] The shaft of the second screw conveyor 220 is connected to a servo motor. With the help of the servo motor, the rotation speed and running time of the second screw conveyor 220 can be controlled, which can realize the quantitative dispensing of solid drugs, ensure the accuracy of the dosage each time, and reduce drug waste.

[0043] Storing the drug in hopper 210 reduces its contact with air, lowers the risk of oxidation or deterioration, and maintains its effectiveness.

[0044] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 The storage bin 110 is equipped with a stirring paddle 111 for stirring the feed. The stirring paddle 111 can effectively stir the feed, ensure that the feed components are evenly mixed, and improve the overall nutritional balance of the feed.

[0045] Breaking up feed lumps can prevent feed from clumping, ensuring the fluidity and consistency of feed during transportation and avoiding impact on the automatic feeding system.

[0046] When bulk feed is broken down, it becomes easier for livestock to digest and absorb, improving feed utilization and animal growth efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The storage bin 110 is equipped with a transparent window 112, which allows operators to easily observe the height of the feed and promptly understand the remaining feed, thus avoiding the feeding effect being affected by insufficient feed.

[0048] Operators do not need to frequently open the storage bin 110 for inspection. They can directly judge the feed condition through the transparent window 112, thereby reducing unnecessary operations and improving work efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An automatic feeding device for livestock and veterinary use also includes a discharge assembly 400, which comprises a third screw conveyor 410. The inlet of the third screw conveyor 410 is connected to the outlet of the first screw conveyor 120. The third screw conveyor allows feed, solid medicines, and liquid medicines to be thoroughly mixed during the conveying process, ensuring that each portion of feed receives the medicine evenly, thus improving the therapeutic effect of the medicine. Through uniform mixing, livestock can ingest balanced nutrition and medicine while eating, improving feeding efficiency and promoting the health and growth of livestock. The mixing of medicines with feed allows for better absorption of medicines by livestock, thereby improving the therapeutic effect and reducing the risk of reduced efficacy due to uneven drug distribution.

[0050] Workflow: Simultaneously start the first screw conveyor 120, the second screw conveyor 220, and the third screw conveyor 410. Feed enters the first screw conveyor 120 from the storage bin 110. The second screw conveyor 220 feeds solid medicine into the first screw conveyor 120 in real time. While the first screw conveyor 120 is running, it drives the gear pump 320 to rotate, continuously feeding a fixed amount of liquid medicine into the mixture of feed and solid medicine. The feed, solid medicine, and liquid medicine are then fed into the third screw conveyor 410. The third screw conveyor 410 ensures that the feed, solid medicine, and liquid medicine are thoroughly mixed during the conveying process, ensuring that each portion of feed receives the medicine evenly and improving the therapeutic effect.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the present utility model.
