They possess unique qualities such as strong adaptability, high reproductive performance, rapid growth and development, high slaughter rate, tender meat, delicious flavor, and rich nutrition, especially rich in various vitamins and amino acids essential for the human body, making them highly popular with consumers. In modern large-scale meat rabbit farming, traditional manual feeding methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. Therefore, we propose a feeding device for meat rabbit farming. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a feeding device for rabbit farming that can realize automated feeding, reduce the workload of staff, reduce labor costs, improve feeding efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale rabbit farming. It can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for rabbit farming, comprising a feeding cylinder, a feeding hopper at the top of the feeding cylinder, several arc-shaped grooves evenly distributed on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder, a discharge port communicating with the inside of the grooves, an arc-shaped sliding baffle slidably disposed within the grooves, a through groove matching the discharge port on the side surface of the sliding baffle, two mounting grooves communicating with the grooves on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder, the two mounting grooves being symmetrically disposed on both sides of the grooves, a sliding frame slidably disposed within the mounting grooves, both ends of the sliding baffle passing through the mounting grooves and connected to the sliding frame, a connecting rod hinged to the lower surface of the sliding frame, a pressure plate fixedly disposed between the sides of the two connecting rods away from the sliding frame, and a rotating shaft fixedly disposed between the middle of the two connecting rods, the rotating shaft being rotatably disposed on an external rabbit farming cage, and several feeding tubes mounted on the side surface of the feeding cylinder, the feeding tubes being sleeved on the outside of the grooves.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the feeding tube includes a horizontal part connected to the feeding tube and an inclined part connected to the horizontal part, and the inclined part is inclined upward in a direction away from the feeding tube.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spring is provided between the lower inner surface of the mounting groove and the sliding frame.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two mounting plates are rotatably disposed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and mounting holes are provided on the side surface of the mounting plates.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, four retaining rings are fixedly provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, one on each side of each mounting plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the feeding hopper is provided with a feeding port, which is connected to an inclined feeding pipe. Several feeding pipes are distributed in a circular array around the periphery of the feeding hopper and are connected to it. Each feeding pipe is connected to a feeding tube through a feeding port and the feeding hopper.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The feeding tube is fixed to the rabbit breeding cage and installed inside the cage. After feed is added from the hopper, it flows along the feeding tube into the feeding tubes of each cage, allowing the rabbits to insert their heads into the tubes to eat. This achieves automated feeding, reducing the workload of staff, lowering labor costs, and improving feeding efficiency, making it suitable for large-scale rabbit farming. When the rabbits are not eating, the discharge port is blocked by a sliding baffle, preventing continuous feeding and contamination of the feed stored in the feeding tubes. When the rabbits are eating, they walk onto the pressure plate and press it down, causing the connecting rod to move the sliding frame upwards, which in turn moves the sliding baffle upwards. The groove on the sliding baffle aligns with the discharge port, allowing feed to enter the feeding tubes through the discharge port and groove, thus improving the automation of rabbit feeding and further reducing labor costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding device for rabbit farming, including a feeding tube 1, which is fixed to a vertically stacked rabbit farming cage by straps, fixing rings, bolts, etc. The top of the feeding tube 1 is provided with a feed hopper 2 for feeding feed. A sealing cover can be provided on the feed hopper 2 to seal it after feeding to avoid contamination or dampness of the feed.

[0020] The outer surface of the feeding cylinder 1 is evenly provided with several arc-shaped grooves 4. The inner side of the grooves 4 is provided with a discharge port 5 that communicates with the inside of the feeding cylinder 1. Several feeding tubes 17 are installed on the side surface of the feeding cylinder 1. The feeding tubes 17 are fitted on the outside of the grooves 4, completely covering the discharge ports 5. The feeding cylinder 1 is fixed to the rabbit breeding cage, and the feeding tubes 17 are installed inside the breeding cage. After feed is put into the feed hopper 2, the feed is sent into the feeding tubes 17 of each breeding cage along the feeding cylinder 1. The rabbits can then put their heads into the feeding tubes 17 to eat, realizing automated feeding, reducing the workload of staff, lowering labor costs, and improving feeding efficiency. It is suitable for large-scale rabbit breeding.

[0021] Preferably, the feeding tube 17 includes a horizontal part connected to the feeding tube 1 and an inclined part connected to the horizontal part. The inclined part is inclined upward in a direction away from the feeding tube 1, which makes it convenient for the rabbits to put their heads into the feeding tube 17 to eat. In addition, the inclined part can reduce the amount of feed falling outside during the feed dispensing process and during the rabbits eating, thereby reducing feed waste and lowering breeding costs.

[0022] An arc-shaped sliding baffle 6 is slidably disposed within the chute 4. A through groove 7 matching the discharge port 5 is formed on the side surface of the sliding baffle 6. Two mounting grooves 8 communicating with the chute 4 are formed on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder 1. The two mounting grooves 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the chute 4. A sliding frame 9 is slidably disposed within each mounting groove 8. Both ends of the sliding baffle 6 pass through the mounting grooves 8 and connect to the sliding frame 9. A connecting rod 10 is hinged to the lower surface of the sliding frame 9. A pressure plate 11 is fixedly disposed between the sides of the two connecting rods 10 away from the sliding frame 9, and a [missing information - likely a device or structure] is fixedly disposed between the middle portions of the two connecting rods 10. A rotating shaft 12 is installed on the external rabbit breeding cage. When the rabbits are not eating, the feed outlet 5 is blocked by the sliding baffle 6, preventing continuous feeding and avoiding contamination of the feed stored in the feeding cylinder 1. When the rabbits are eating, they walk onto the pressure plate 11 and press the pressure plate 11 downwards, causing the connecting rod 10 to drive the sliding frame 9 upwards, which in turn drives the sliding baffle 6 upwards. The through groove 7 on the sliding baffle 6 coincides with the feed outlet 5, allowing the feed to enter the feeding cylinder 17 through the feed outlet 5 and the through groove 7. This improves the automation of rabbit feeding and further reduces labor costs.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, a spring 16 is provided between the lower inner surface of the mounting groove 8 and the sliding frame 9. After the rabbit finishes eating and leaves the pressure plate 11, the sliding frame 9 and the sliding baffle 6 can automatically reset under gravity to block the discharge port 5. The spring 16 can assist the sliding frame 9 and the sliding baffle 6 to reset quickly.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, two mounting plates 13 are rotatably provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 12. When fixing the rotating shaft 12, the mounting plates 13 can be fixed to the rabbit breeding cage. The side surface of the mounting plate 13 is provided with mounting holes 14, which can be used to install bolts or thread ropes, thereby fixing the mounting plate 13 to the breeding cage and allowing the rotating shaft 12 to rotate freely.

[0025] Optionally, four retaining rings 15 are fixedly provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 12, one on each side of each mounting plate 13, to fix the position of the mounting plate 13 so that it can only rotate relative to the rotating shaft 12 and cannot move, thus ensuring the stability of the pressure plate 11 and connecting rod 10 and other parts when the rabbit is feeding.

[0026] Please see Figure 6This utility model also provides another embodiment, which is largely the same as the previous embodiment, except that: the feeding hopper 2 is provided with a feeding port 3, which is connected to an inclined feeding pipe 18. Several feeding pipes 18 are arranged in a circular array around the feeding hopper 19 and are connected to it. Each feeding pipe 18 is connected to a feeding tube 1 through a feeding port 3 and a feeding hopper 2. The feeding pipes 18 are inclined upwards towards the feeding hopper 19. This embodiment is suitable for the situation where the rabbit breeding cages are arranged in a circle. Each feeding tube 1 is set on the outside of the breeding cage, and the feeding hopper 19 is set above the center of the breeding cage. The staff can put feed into the feeding hopper 19 from the second floor. The feed enters the feeding port 3 along the inclined feeding pipe 18 and then is sent into the feeding tube 1 along the feeding hopper 2. Multiple breeding cages can be fed at the same time, which further reduces the workload of the staff, reduces labor costs, and improves feeding efficiency. It is suitable for large-scale centralized breeding of rabbits.
