Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of silage feeding devices, and in particular to a feeding device for a silage pit used in dairy cow alfalfa production. Background Technology
[0002] Alfalfa is one of the main feeds for cattle. It is rich in nutrients, including protein, various vitamins and trace elements, which can significantly promote the growth and development of cattle and increase milk production and quality. To ensure the quality of alfalfa, it is usually necessary to store it in silage pits. Silage pits are facilities used for storing and fermenting green and succulent forage. Silage pits utilize the lactic acid bacteria present in green forage to ferment the feed under anaerobic conditions. During this process, some of the sugars in the feed are converted into lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the silage to below 4.2, thereby inhibiting the growth of other aerobic microorganisms such as molds and putrefactive bacteria, achieving the purpose of long-term storage of green forage. Feeding devices are usually required when feeding the feed stored in the silage pit to dairy cows.
[0003] Existing feeding devices typically require manual pouring of stored forage into the feeding trough, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, it cannot guarantee the uniformity of feed distribution in different locations within the trough, affecting the normal growth of dairy cows. Additionally, feed residue in the feeding trough is difficult to clean, and prolonged interaction between the cows' saliva and the remaining feed can easily lead to the growth of large amounts of bacteria, which is detrimental to the health of dairy cows. Therefore, a feeding device for alfalfa silage production troughs for dairy cows is designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example:
[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a feeding device for a dairy cow alfalfa silage production pit, including a feeding trough 1, a support 2 and a feeding hopper 3. The support 2 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the upper surface of the feeding trough 1, and the feeding hopper 3 is installed on the support 2. A rack 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the upper surface of the feeding trough 1.
[0032] The bracket 2 includes a motor 201, a lead screw 202, an internal threaded ring 203, and a rectangular collar 204. The motor 201 is fixedly installed on the upper left end of the bracket 2. The lead screw 202 is installed on the output end of the motor 201. The internal threaded ring 203 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 202 and is sleeved on the bracket 2.
[0033] The feeding hopper 3 includes a fixed sleeve 301, an L-shaped feeding pipe 302, a drive shaft 303, a spiral blade 304, and a gear 305. The fixed sleeve 301 is fixedly installed above the outer surface of the feeding hopper 3. The L-shaped feeding pipe 302 is installed through the bottom of the feeding hopper 3. The drive shaft 303 is rotatably installed inside the L-shaped feeding pipe 302. The spiral blade 304 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the drive shaft 303. The gear 305 is fixedly installed at the left end of the drive shaft 303.
[0034] In this embodiment, the internal threaded ring 203 is fixedly mounted on the fixed sleeve 301, and the feeding hopper 3 is positioned by the internal threaded ring 203.
[0035] In this embodiment, the outer end of the L-shaped feed pipe 302 extends towards the center above the feeding trough 1, and the diameter of the spiral blade 304 is the same as the inner diameter of the L-shaped feed pipe 302. The spiral blade 304 is located inside the L-shaped feed pipe 302, which facilitates the spiral blade to drive the green fodder in the L-shaped feed pipe 302 to be discharged into the feeding trough 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, gear 305 meshes with rack 4, which facilitates the rotation of gear 305 on rack 4.
[0037] The system consists of a feeding trough 1, a support frame 2, and a feeding hopper 3. When feeding green fodder into the feeding trough 1, a loader pours the green fodder into the feeding hopper 3. The motor 201 starts, driving the lead screw 202 to rotate. The lead screw 202 drives the internal threaded ring 203 and the rectangular collar 204 to move along the support frame 2. The rectangular collar 204 drives the feeding hopper 3 to move along the support frame 2, thus adjusting the feeding position. As the feeding hopper 3 moves along the support frame, the gear 305 rotates on the rack 4. The gear 305 drives the transmission shaft 303 and the spiral blade 304 to rotate. The spiral blade 304 discharges the green fodder from the feeding hopper 3 and the L-shaped feeding pipe 302, achieving automatic feeding. This saves time and effort. Furthermore, the feeding of green fodder by rotating the spiral blade 304 not only ensures the uniformity of feed in different positions within the feeding trough 1 but also prevents green fodder from clogging the L-shaped feeding pipe 302, ensuring normal feeding.
[0038] In this embodiment, support legs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the feeding trough 1. The feeding trough 1 includes a rotating base plate 101, a rotating shaft 102, a handle 103, a positioning vertical plate 104, and positioning bolts 105. The rotating base plate 101 is rotatably installed on the inner bottom of the feeding trough 1 via the rotating shaft 102. The handle 103 is fixedly installed on the left end of the rotating shaft 102. The positioning vertical plate 104 is fixedly installed on the outer right side of the rotating shaft 102. Positioning bolts 105 are fixedly installed at both the upper and lower ends of the positioning vertical plate 104.
[0039] In this embodiment, the horizontal height of the feeding trough 1 from the ground is higher than 1 / 2 of the width of the rotating base plate 101, and the width of the rotating base plate 101 is equal to the inner width of the feeding trough 1. The base plate 101 will not contact the ground when it rotates, which facilitates the rotation of the rotating base plate 101.
[0040] In this embodiment, a positioning hole matching the positioning bolt 105 is fixedly provided on the lower left side surface of the feeding trough 1, and the two positioning bolts 105 are at the same distance from the rotating shaft 102, so that the positioning bolt 105 can position the rotating base plate 101 after rotating 180°.
[0041] With the rotating base plate 101, when it is necessary to clean the inner bottom of the feeding trough 1, loosen the positioning bolt 105, grasp the handle 103 to rotate the rotating shaft 102, and the rotating shaft 102 will drive the rotating base plate 101 to rotate, so that the rotating base plate 101 rotates 180°, so that the side that originally faced the inside of the feeding trough 1 faces downward. The rotating base plate 101 is positioned by another positioning bolt 105, which makes it convenient to clean the green fodder residue and cow saliva adhering to the inner bottom of the feeding trough 1.
[0042] In this embodiment, guide rods 5 are fixedly installed on the two support legs on the outside of the feeding trough 1. A cleaning component is installed on the guide rods 5. The cleaning component includes a guide sleeve 6, a water inlet pipe 601, and a booster nozzle 602. The guide sleeve 6 is sleeved on the guide rod 5. The water inlet pipe 601 is fixedly installed on the guide sleeve 6. Multiple booster nozzles 602 are installed through the upper surface of the water inlet pipe 601.
[0043] In this embodiment, the inner end of the water inlet pipe 601 and the inner surface of the feeding tank 1 are on the same vertical plane, which makes it convenient for the pressurized nozzle 602 on the water inlet pipe 601 to thoroughly rinse the bottom of the rotating base plate 101.
[0044] By incorporating a cleaning assembly, when the rotating base plate 101 needs cleaning, one end of a rubber water pipe is connected to the inlet pipe 601, and the other end is connected to a tap water pipe. The rotating base plate 101 is then rotated 180° and positioned. Natural water enters the inlet pipe 601 through the rubber water pipe and is sprayed out through the pressurized nozzle 602. The sprayed tap water rinses the base plate 101. The guide sleeve 6 is then moved left and right along the guide rod 5 to adjust the position of the inlet pipe 601, facilitating cleaning of different positions of the rotating base plate 101. The clean water collected in the feeding trough 1 allows for simultaneous feeding and cleaning, increasing work efficiency.
[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These will not affect the implementation effect of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
