Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the production sector that raises livestock and poultry by grazing, penning, or a combination of both to obtain animal products or draft animals. The raising of livestock and poultry requires the use of livestock feeding facilities to feed them.

[0003] A livestock feeding device, authorized under publication number "CN217826312U", uses a drive cylinder to tilt the feed bin forward and downward, opening a movable door panel on the front side of the bin for easy cleaning. Regular cleaning prevents mold growth of feed retained on the inner wall of the bin, thus avoiding feed waste. However, this feeding mechanism has several drawbacks. During feeding, the upper end of the feed nozzle is larger than the lower end, leading to easy accumulation and blockage of the nozzle during discharge, thus limiting its effectiveness. Furthermore, when cleaning the device, residual feed remains on the guide blades, preventing thorough cleaning of the contact area between the guide blades and the feed bin, causing feed spoilage. This spoiled feed is then discharged along with fresh feed and ingested by the animals, increasing harm to them. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art by providing a feeding mechanism for livestock farming, thereby reducing operational limitations and minimizing harm to animals from feed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This livestock feeding mechanism includes a first box, a cleaning mechanism at the top of the first box, a vibration mechanism at the bottom of the first box, a feed inlet at the left end of the first box, a discharge outlet at the right end of the first box, an electromagnetic valve on the outer wall of the discharge outlet, the first box being fixedly connected to a first motor via a bracket, the output shaft of the first motor being fixedly connected to a guide blade, and the guide blade being rotatably connected to the first box via a sealed bearing.

[0006] To further improve the design, the vibration mechanism includes a first housing, the surface of which is fixedly connected to the lower end of a first box, the first housing being fixedly connected to a second motor via a bracket, the output shaft of the second motor being rotatably connected to the first housing via a bearing, the output shaft of the second motor being fixedly connected to a circular plate, the protruding portion of the surface of the circular plate being in contact with a rod, the right end of the rod being slidably connected to the first housing via a groove, and a block being fixedly connected to the top end of the rod.

[0007] Further improvements include the block being slidably engaged with the first housing via a groove, the left end of the rod being fixedly connected to one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring being fixedly connected to the first housing.

[0008] Further improvements include a second housing, the surface of which is fixedly connected to the top of the first housing. The second housing is fixedly connected to a servo motor via a bracket. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a gear. The surface of one gear meshes with another gear. The gear is rotatably connected to the second housing via a pin. The surface of the gear is fixedly connected to one end of a connecting rod. The other end of the connecting rod is slidably engaged with a horizontal plate via a sliding groove. Both ends of the horizontal plate slide on a vertical rod via sliding grooves. The outer wall of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the second housing. A water sprayer is provided at the lower end of the horizontal plate.

[0009] Further improvements include a second housing whose outer wall is fixedly connected to a second box, and a second housing whose outer wall is fixedly connected to a pump body.

[0010] Further improvements include connecting the second housing to the pump body via a hose, and connecting the pump body to the water sprayer via a hose.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, through the cooperation of the first housing of the vibration mechanism, the second motor drives the circular plate to rotate, the protrusion on the surface of the circular plate contacts the rod and drives it to move to the right. At this time, the spring is stretched, and the surface of the rod contacts the outer wall of the discharge port, thereby knocking and vibrating it. Through the above method, knocking and vibrating the discharge port prevents the discharge port from being blocked during the discharge process, thereby reducing the limitations of the work.

[0012] Through the cooperation of the cleaning mechanism and the first box, the servo motor drives one gear to rotate, and another gear drives another gear to rotate. The two gears drive the connecting rod to swing relative to each other. The connecting rod drives the horizontal plate to move upward through the slide groove. In this way, the horizontal plate drives the water sprayer to wash the material remaining on the guide blades and the first box, so that the material will not remain on the guide blades and the first box for a long time and deteriorate, and will eventually be consumed by the animals, thereby reducing harm to the animals.

[0027] Working principle: Feeding process:

[0028] When feeding animals is required, the worker fills the first box 1 with feed through the feed inlet at the left end of the first box 1. Then, the external power supply of the first motor 4 is turned on and started. The first motor 4 drives the guide vane 5 to rotate. The rotating guide vane 5 guides the feed in the first box 1 to the discharge port 6 at the right end. The discharge port 6 is opened by the solenoid valve, and the feed in the first box 1 will be discharged through the discharge port 6. During the discharge, the external power supply of the second motor 202 is turned on and started. The second motor 202 drives the circular plate 203 to rotate. The protrusion on the surface of the circular plate 203 contacts the rod 204 and drives it to move to the right (e.g., Figure 4 At this time, the spring 206 is stretched, and the surface of the rod 204 contacts the outer wall of the discharge port 6, thereby striking and vibrating it. When the protrusion on the surface of the circular plate 203 separates from the rod 204, the spring 206 rebounds and drives the rod 204 to reset in the above manner. In summary, the reciprocating movement of the rod 204 strikes and vibrates the discharge port 6 to prevent the discharge port 6 from being blocked during the discharge process. The animals are fed in the above manner.

[0029] After feeding is completed, the first belt motor 4 and the second motor 202 are turned off, the external power supply of the servo motor 302 is turned on and started. The servo motor 302 drives one gear 303 to rotate, and one gear 303 drives another gear 303 to rotate (the two gears 303 rotate relative to each other as follows). Figure 5 and Figure 6 The two gears 303 drive the connecting rods 304 to swing relative to each other, and the connecting rods 304 drive the horizontal plate 305 to move upward through the slide groove (e.g. Figure 6 After the horizontal plate 305 moves the water sprayer 9 to its limit position, the reverse servo motor 302 can drive the water sprayer 9 to reset (the process of the water sprayer 9 moving downward is the opposite of the process of moving upward as described above).

[0030] Connect the external power supply to the pump body 8 and start it. The pump body 8 introduces the water source pre-stored in the second box 7 into the water sprayer 9 through the hose. The moving water sprayer 9 sprays water onto the guide blades 5 and the first box 1 to rinse them. Start the first motor 4 to drive the guide blades 5 to rotate. When the guide blades 5 rotate during cleaning, the cleaning effect on the guide blades 5 can be enhanced. The cleaned water will be discharged through the discharge port 6 at the right end. After the cleaning work is completed, turn off the first motor 4, the pump body 8 and the servo motor 302. The cleaning work of the guide blades and the first box 1 is completed in the above way.
