Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rabbit feeding, specifically a rabbit feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the production sector that uses domesticated animals, such as poultry, rabbits, cattle, sheep, horses, and pigs, to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy through artificial breeding and raising, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, silk, and medicinal materials. It is an important part of agriculture and is one of the two pillar industries of agriculture, along with crop farming. When raising rabbits, it is necessary to feed them at fixed times and locations and clean their cages to ensure the rabbits' breeding environment.

[0003] However, traditional rabbit feeding systems still rely on manual feeding and cage cleaning. Manual feeding incurs significant labor costs for breeders, and untimely cage cleaning can negatively impact the rabbits' living environment, easily leading to bacterial growth and illness. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rabbit feeding device that can conveniently automate the feeding function, thereby reducing labor costs and improving the environment inside the cage by effectively removing excrement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rabbit feeding device, comprising a cage, a protective door, and a sewage discharge base. The bottom inner side of the cage is provided with several sets of discharge holes at equal intervals. The sewage discharge base has an inclined structure inside and four sets of sewage discharge ports on the outer side. An outer bucket is fixed inside the cage, and a rotating bucket is rotatably connected to the inner side of the outer bucket. A fixing column is fixed inside the rotating bucket, and a feed container is inserted into the outer side of the fixing column. The feed container is rotatably connected to the rotating bucket. The bottom of the rotating bucket, the outer bucket, and the feed container are all provided with four sets of slots of the same size in a circumferential array.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the drain hole is used to discharge the excrement produced by the rabbits inside the cage downwards. The sewage base is used to collect the excrement discharged from the cage through the drain hole. The inclined structure inside the sewage base is used to guide the excrement. Four sets of sewage outlets can discharge the excrement inside the sewage base. The outer bucket is used to discharge feed for the rabbits to eat. The rotating bucket is used to connect or disconnect the outer bucket and the feed container, thereby controlling the discharge and stopping of feed. The fixed column is used to provide stability to the bottom of the feed container. The feed container is used to hold the rabbits. The bottom of the rotating bucket, the outer bucket, and the feed container are all arranged in a circumferential array with four sets of slots of the same size, which are used to discharge the feed inside the feed container through the rotating bucket and the outer bucket.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the cage is fixed with two sets of limiting posts, and the top of the feed container is provided with two sets of connecting plates, which are respectively inserted into the limiting posts.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the stability of the feed container inside the cage is increased, and the plug-in structure simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the feed container.

[0009] Furthermore, one side of the cage is connected to two sets of protective doors via a torsion shaft.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, two sets of protective doors are connected to one side of the cage via a torsion shaft, enabling the protective doors to be opened and closed flexibly.

[0011] Furthermore, the sewage discharge base is equipped with a drive motor, which is electrically connected to an external control center, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the bottom of the rotating drum.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is used to drive the rotating drum to rotate. As a power source, the drive motor can accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the rotating drum according to the instructions of the external control center, thereby ensuring the precise operation of the automatic feeding system.

[0013] Furthermore, a feeding trough is fixed to the outside of the outer barrel to catch any spilled feed.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and fixing the feeding trough to the outside of the outer barrel, this design ensures that feed leaking from between the rotating barrel and the outer barrel can be effectively collected.

[0015] Furthermore, the four sets of slots at the bottom of the feed container are all provided with inclined structures on the outside to improve the efficiency of feed leakage.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined structure can reduce the resistance of feed during the leakage process, allowing the feed to leak into the trough more smoothly and quickly through the opening.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, the bottom of the rotating drum, the outer drum, and the feed container are all arranged in a circumferential array with four sets of slots. The outer side of the four sets of slots of the feed container is provided with a sloping structure to facilitate the internal feed to slide out. The rotating drum is driven by a drive motor to rotate, thereby switching between the connected and staggered states of the four sets of slots at the bottom of the rotating drum and the slots between the outer drum and the feed container, thereby achieving a more convenient automatic feed dispensing effect.

[0019] 2. By setting two sets of limiting posts, this utility model can make the two sets of connecting plates at the top of the feed container plug into and limit their respective corresponding limiting posts, thereby preventing the feed container from rotating and causing the lower discharge port to shift.

[0020] 3. This utility model, by setting up a drain hole, a drain base, and a drain outlet, allows the rabbit's excrement inside the cage to fall down, and is guided by the inclined structure inside the drain base, so that it can be discharged from the drain outlet around the drain base.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0031] In this embodiment:

[0032] A rabbit feeding device, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the cage includes a cage body 1, a protective door 2, and a sewage discharge base 5. The bottom inner side of the cage body 1 has several sets of discharge holes 4 at equal intervals. The sewage discharge base 5 has an inclined structure inside and four sets of sewage discharge ports 6 on the outer side. An outer bucket 10 is fixed inside the cage body 1, and a rotating bucket 8 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the outer bucket 10. A fixing column 9 is fixed inside the rotating bucket 8, and a feed container 12 is inserted into the outer side of the fixing column 9. The feed container 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating bucket 8. The bottom of the rotating bucket 8, the outer bucket 10, and the feed container 12 are all arranged in a circumferential array with four sets of slots of the same size.

[0033] The equally spaced drainage holes 4 on the inner bottom of the cage 1 ensure that the rabbit's excrement can fall smoothly and avoid accumulation in the cage. At the same time, the inclined structure inside the drainage base 5 and the four sets of drainage outlets 6 on the outside can effectively guide and discharge the excrement, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the drainage base 5 and the inside of the cage 1, reducing the growth of germs, and providing protection for the rabbit's health. The four sets of slots of the same size arranged in a circular array at the bottom of the rotating bucket 8, the outer bucket 10, and the feed container 12 can be aligned with each other at a specific angle, so that the feed can leak out from the feed container 12 and fall into the feeding trough 11 for the rabbit to eat.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The top of the cage 1 is fixed with two sets of limiting posts 3, and the top of the feed container 12 is provided with two sets of connecting plates 13, and the two sets of connecting plates 13 are respectively inserted into the limiting posts 3.

[0035] The plug-in structure of the limiting post 3 and the connecting plate 13 ensures that the feed container 12 will not shift or fall off due to accidental collision or vibration during equipment operation or movement, thereby avoiding possible feed leakage or equipment damage.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two sets of protective doors 2 are connected to one side of the cage 1 via a torsion shaft;

[0037] When the protective doors 2 are closed, they can effectively prevent rabbits from accidentally escaping from the cage 1, ensuring the safety of the feeding process.

[0038] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sewage discharge base 5 is equipped with a drive motor 7, which is electrically connected to an external control center, and the output end of the drive motor 7 is connected to the bottom of the rotating drum 8.

[0039] The design enables the automatic rotation of the rotating bucket 8 by installing a drive motor 7 inside the sewage base 5 and connecting the output end of the drive motor 7 to the bottom of the rotating bucket 8. The drive motor 7 is electrically connected to the external control center, which enables the entire feeding process to be remotely controlled and automatically managed.

[0040] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer barrel 10 is fixed with a feeding trough 11 to catch any spilled feed.

[0041] Among them, the feeding trough 11 is a special feed collection container, and its position and shape are carefully designed so that it can fully receive the falling feed and prevent the feed from scattering or being wasted.

[0042] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The feed container 12 has four sets of slots at the bottom with inclined structures on the outside to improve the efficiency of feed leakage.

[0043] The inclined structure also helps reduce feed residue at the trough opening. Due to the guiding effect of the inclined surface, the feed can better detach from the edge of the trough opening when it leaks out, avoiding accumulation or blockage at the trough opening.

[0044] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the cage 1 is stably placed in the designated position by the sewage base 5. The protective door 2 is opened to send the rabbit into the cage 1 for feeding. The excretion hole 4 inside the cage 1 will collect the rabbit's excrement, which will be guided by the inclined structure inside the sewage base 5 and discharged from the sewage outlets 6 opened around the sewage base 5 to maintain the environment inside the cage 1.

[0045] When feeding the rabbits, pour feed into the feed container 12 and turn on the drive motor 7 to make it rotate the rotating drum 8. The bottom of the rotating drum 8, the outer drum 10, and the feed container 12 are all provided with slots for feed to leak out. The rotation of the rotating drum 8 will connect the slots between the outer drum 10 and the feed container 12, so that the feed inside the feed container 12 can pass through the slots at the bottom of the rotating drum 8 and the outer drum 10 into the feed trough 11 for the rabbits inside the cage 1 to eat. After a certain amount of feed has leaked out, turn on the drive motor 7 again to make the rotating drum 8 rotate. The slots at the bottom of the rotating drum 8 are staggered with the slots at the bottom of the outer drum 10 and the feed container 12 to prevent the feed inside the feed container 12 from leaking out further.

[0046] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the feed container 12 regularly, take the feed container 12 out vertically upwards, and disconnect the bottom of the feed container 12 from the fixing post 9. At the same time, release the limiting post 3 from the limiting of the connecting plates 13 on both sides of the top of the feed container 12. Then the feed container 12 can be cleaned. After cleaning, the feed container 12 can be put back into place.

[0047] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
