Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture, specifically an automatic uniform feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] In mechanized chicken farms, electric automatic feeding systems are commonly used. These systems use motor-driven devices to transport feed from silos to individual troughs. The silos are typically large metal or plastic containers installed on the side or top of the chicken house. Their capacity is designed according to the scale of the operation. The silos have discharge ports at the bottom, which connect to screw conveyors for automatic feeding. However, due to limited space in chicken farms, the mobile silos cannot be designed to be too large, necessitating frequent refilling. Furthermore, during refilling, some feed remains in the troughs, and adding new feed directly leads to feed accumulation, which can easily spoil over time. Therefore, we offer a first type of automatic uniform feeding device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, namely the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model proposes an automatic uniform feeding device, including a mounting frame, a feeding trough, and a movable feed bin. The feeding trough is fixedly installed between two mounting frames, and the movable feed bin can move along the feeding trough to fill the feed.
[0004] One of the mounting frames has a fixed hopper on its outer side, and an inclined guide cylinder is inserted into the inner cavity of the fixed hopper. A first auger rod is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the guide cylinder, and a first motor is connected to the shaft end of the first auger rod.
[0005] A fixed plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feed trough corresponding to the mobile feed hopper, and a rotating plate is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the fixed plate. The fixed plate and the rotating plate are connected by an electric push rod.
[0006] Preferably, a packing cylinder is embedded in the side wall of the feed trough corresponding to the mobile hopper, and a second auger rod is rotatably arranged in the inner cavity of the packing cylinder, with a second motor connected to the shaft end of the second auger rod.
[0007] Preferably, a screw is rotatably disposed between the two mounting brackets, one end of the screw is connected to a third motor, and a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw, the threaded sleeve being fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the movable hopper.
[0008] Preferably, a sliding rod is fixedly disposed between the two mounting brackets, and a sliding sleeve is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the sliding rod, and the sliding sleeve is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the movable hopper.
[0009] Preferably, the end of the feeding trough away from the fixed silo is designed to be open, and a collection box is provided on the side of the mounting frame away from the fixed silo. The open end of the feeding trough passes through the corresponding mounting frame and extends into the inner cavity of the collection box.
[0010] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: By adding a fixed feed bin, the feeding device realizes the mechanized feeding into the mobile feed bin, eliminating the need for frequent manual filling of feed into the mobile feed bin. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating plate is controlled by an electric push rod, allowing the rotating plate to enter the interior of the feed trough to scrape and collect the remaining feed, ensuring the quality of the feed in the feed trough and making the mechanization of chicken farm feeding higher.

The sliding sleeve 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable hopper 3. The movable hopper 3 is fitted with a packing cylinder 11 on the side wall corresponding to the feeding trough 2. The packing cylinder 11 is L-shaped so that the discharge end can correspond to the feeding trough 2. The inner cavity of the packing cylinder 11 is rotatably equipped with a second auger rod 12. The shaft end of the second auger rod 12 is connected to a second motor 13. The second motor 13 is installed at the top of the packing cylinder 11, and both the second auger rod 12 and the packing cylinder 11 extend to the bottom of the movable hopper 3 to facilitate deep material guidance.
[0016] One of the mounting frames 1 has a fixed hopper 7 on its outer side. An inclined guide cylinder 8 is inserted into the inner cavity of the fixed hopper 7. The guide cylinder 8 is L-shaped so that the discharge end can correspond to the movable hopper 3. A first auger rod 9 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the guide cylinder 8. A first motor 10 is connected to the shaft end of the first auger rod 9. The first motor 10 is installed at the top of the guide cylinder 8. Both the first auger rod 9 and the guide cylinder 8 extend to the bottom of the fixed hopper 7 to facilitate deep material guidance. The end of the trough 2 away from the fixed hopper 7 is designed to be open. A collection box 19 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 1 away from the fixed hopper 7. The open end of the trough 2 passes through the corresponding mounting frame 1 and extends into the inner cavity of the collection box 19.
[0017] A fixed plate 4 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mobile hopper 3 corresponding to the feeding trough 2. A rotating plate 5 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the fixed plate 4. The shape of the rotating plate 5 fits the inner cavity of the feeding trough 2. An electric push rod 6 is installed between the fixed plate 4 and the rotating plate 5. The two ends of the electric push rod 6 are connected to the fixed plate 4 and the rotating plate 5 respectively through the mounting seat and the pin shaft, which controls the rotation angle of the rotating plate 5 and facilitates the scraping of the remaining material in the feeding trough 2.
[0018] For those skilled in the art, all electrical components and parts in this case are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. All models are compatible with this solution and can operate normally. All electrical components in this case are connected to their compatible power supplies through wires. According to the actual situation, a suitable controller is selected to meet the control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle below, and the electrical connection is completed by the sequential operation of each electrical component. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the art, and the electrical control will not be described further.
[0019] Working principle: When using this feeding device, feed can be filled into the fixed hopper 7. After it is full, the third motor 18 can be started to drive the screw 16 to rotate. The rotating screw 16 can drive the moving hopper 3 to move laterally through the threaded connection with the threaded sleeve 17 until the moving hopper 3 is below the discharge port of the guide cylinder 8. At this time, the first motor 10 is started. Under the operation of the first motor 10, the first auger rod 9 can be driven to rotate to guide the moving hopper 3. Then, the third motor 18, as well as the electric push rod 6 and the second motor 13, are started again. The third motor 18 makes the moving hopper 3 move along the feed trough 2. The operation of the electric push rod 6 can drive the horizontal rotating plate 5 to a vertical state, thereby allowing the rotating plate 5 to enter the inner cavity of the feeding trough 2. The moving hopper 3 can drive the rotating plate 5 to scrape the feed in the feeding trough 2, so that the feed can be discharged into the collection box 19 at the opening end of the feeding trough 2. At the same time, the operation of the second motor 13 can drive the second auger rod 12 to rotate, so that the feed in the moving hopper 3 can be poured into the feeding trough 2. The uniform movement can achieve uniform filling of the feeding trough 2. This filling method does not require frequent manual filling of the moving hopper 3, and the residual material in the feeding trough 2 can also be cleaned, which has certain practicality.
