Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed conveying technology, specifically to an adjustable livestock and poultry feed conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] Feed is a general term for the food given to animals raised by all people. In a narrower sense, feed mainly refers to the food for animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. With the progress of production and life, people have found that making feed into pellets not only makes poultry more efficient to eat, but also makes it easier to preserve and less prone to spoilage, so it is becoming more and more popular among farmers.
[0003] In various livestock and poultry farms, the traditional feeding method mostly relies on hoppers to transport feed. This traditional feeding method has many drawbacks. The most prominent problem is that it is difficult to accurately adjust the amount of feed according to the size differences of the livestock and poultry. When the amount of feed given exceeds the actual appetite of the livestock and poultry, due to the limitations of their digestive capacity and appetite, they simply cannot finish all the excess feed. The remaining feed will be left unused, which will undoubtedly lead to a large amount of feed waste and increase the feed cost of the farm. Conversely, if the amount of feed given is too little, it will not meet the satiety requirements of the livestock and poultry. The livestock and poultry will be in a state of hunger or semi-starvation for a long time. This will not only hinder the normal growth and development of the livestock and poultry, leading to a series of adverse consequences such as slow weight gain and decreased immunity, but also, from the perspective of the overall operation of the farm, slow growth of livestock and poultry means a longer slaughter cycle, reduced output per unit time, and a significant reduction in breeding efficiency, which will seriously affect the economic benefits and resource utilization efficiency of the farm.

[0049] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0050] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes an adjustable livestock and poultry feed conveying device, including: a hopper 1, a feeding pipe 2, an adjusting mechanism and a conveying mechanism. A guide plate 20 is fixedly connected inside the feeding pipe 2. The bottom end of the hopper 1 is provided with a discharge port, and the feeding pipe 2 is connected to the discharge port.
[0051] The adjusting mechanism is located inside the feeding pipe 2 and is used to adjust the feeding amount. The adjusting mechanism includes: a rotating rod 3, an adjusting plate 4, a tension spring 5, a support assembly, and a drive assembly. The rotating rod 3 is rotatably connected inside the feeding pipe 2. The adjusting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating rod 3. Two tension springs 5 are provided, with their ends fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 2 and one side of the adjusting plate 4, respectively. The support assembly is located inside the feeding pipe 2 and is used to support the adjusting plate 4. The drive assembly is located on the feeding pipe 2 and is used to drive the support assembly to move. The support assembly includes: a sliding rod 6, a support frame 7, and a support shaft 8. Two sliding holes are provided on the feeding pipe 2, and two sliding rods 6 are slidably connected to the two sliding holes, respectively. The support frame 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the two sliding rods 6, and the support shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the support frame 7. The circumferential surface of the support shaft 8 contacts one side of the adjusting plate 4. The drive assembly includes: The system consists of a drive plate 9, a moving screw 10, and a first motor 11. The drive plate 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of the two slide rods 6. The two ends of the moving screw 10 are rotatably connected to the drive plate 9 and the support frame 7, respectively. The feed tube 2 has a screw hole, and the moving screw 10 is threaded into the screw hole. The first motor 11 is mounted on the drive plate 9. The output end of the first motor 11 passes through the drive plate 9 and is fixedly connected to one end of the moving screw 10. Specifically, the first motor 11 on the drive plate 9 drives the drive screw to rotate, which in turn drives the slide rods 6 to move on the feed tube 2. When the slide rods 6 move, they drive the support frame 7 and the support shaft 8 to support the adjusting plate 4, thereby pushing the adjusting plate 4 to swing around the rotating rod 3, thus reducing the feed channel space. When the first motor 11 reverses, the slide rods 6 and the support frame 7 also move in the opposite direction, thereby driving the support shaft 8 away from the adjusting plate 4. At this time, the adjusting plate 4 continues to resist the support shaft 8 through the tension of the tension spring 5, thus increasing the channel space.
[0052] The conveying mechanism is installed inside the hopper 1 for conveying feed. The conveying mechanism includes: a top plate 12, a conveying rod 13, a second motor 14, a lever 15, a mixing assembly, and a spraying assembly. The top plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the hopper 1, and the conveying rod 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 12. The second motor 14 is mounted on the top plate 12, and its output end passes through the top plate 12 and is fixedly connected to the conveying rod 13. Multiple levers 15 are provided, each fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the conveying rod 13. The mixing assembly is installed on the conveying rod 13 for mixing the feed. The spraying assembly is installed on the feed discharge pipe 2 for humidifying the feed. The mixing assembly includes: a mixing rod 16 and a mixing plate 17. An adjustment plate 4 has an opening for connecting the mixing rod 16 and the mixing plate 17. The 6-matched through-slot has a stirring rod 16 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the conveying rod 13, and a stirring plate 17 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stirring rod 16. The spray assembly includes a spray pipe 18 and a spray head 19. The spray pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 2, and the spray head 19 is connected to the bottom end of the spray pipe 18. Specifically, the second motor 14 set on the top plate 12 drives the conveying rod 13 to rotate. When the conveying rod 13 rotates, it drives the actuating rod 15 to actuate the feed, thereby maintaining the smoothness of the feed feeding. When it is necessary to humidify the feed, the spray pipe 18 is connected to an external water source, and the water mist sprayed by the spray head 19 wets the feed after feeding. When the conveying rod 13 rotates, it drives the stirring rod 16 and the stirring plate 17 to actuate the feed after feeding, and evenly wets the feed.
[0053] In this embodiment, when conveying feed to livestock and poultry, a large amount of feed is added into the hopper 1. Then, the first motor 11 on the drive plate 9 drives the drive screw to rotate, which in turn drives the slide rod 6 to move on the feed pipe 2. When the slide rod 6 moves, it drives the support frame 7 and the support shaft 8 to support the adjusting plate 4, thereby pushing the adjusting plate 4 to swing around the rotating rod 3, thus reducing the space of the feed channel. When the first motor 11 reverses, the slide rod 6 and the support frame 7 also move in the opposite direction, thereby driving the support shaft 8 away from the adjusting plate 4. At this time, the adjusting plate 4... The tension of the tension spring 5 continues to press against the support shaft 8, thereby increasing the channel space. After adjustment, the second motor 14 on the top plate 12 drives the conveying rod 13 to rotate. When the conveying rod 13 rotates, it drives the agitator 15 to move the feed, thereby maintaining the smoothness of feed feeding. When it is necessary to humidify the feed, the spray pipe 18 is connected to an external water source, and the water mist sprayed by the spray head 19 wets the feed after feeding. When the conveying rod 13 rotates, it drives the stirring rod 16 and the stirring plate 17 to stir the feed after feeding, and evenly wet the feed.
[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
