[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forage and feed machinery, specifically to a forage and feed sorting machine for livestock farms. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farms, the proper management of forage is crucial for the healthy growth of livestock and the improvement of farming efficiency. Traditional forage placement methods are often quite extensive, simply piling forage on the ground. However, this method has many drawbacks. During feeding, due to uneven distribution, a considerable portion of the forage ends up in areas far from where the livestock are active, making it difficult for them to access all the feed, resulting in significant waste of feed resources and increased farming costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, a forage sorting machine for livestock farms is provided. By installing a scraper at the front of the vehicle body, and setting an inclined surface and a baffle on the contact surface between the scraper and the feed, the machine guides the forage that is far away from the livestock to be closer to them. The baffle prevents the forage from flowing out from above the scraper, thus solving the problem of a significant amount of forage being placed far away from the livestock's activity area due to uneven feed distribution, resulting in substantial waste.

[0004] To address the existing technical problems, this utility model provides a forage sorting machine for livestock farms, including a scraper; the scraper is installed at the head of the vehicle body; the scraper is in contact with the ground when working; the contact surface between the scraper and the forage is an inclined surface from the lower right to the upper left; when the scraper passes over the forage on the ground, the forage moves from the lower right to the upper left of the scraper.

[0005] Preferably, a baffle is provided above the scraper; the baffle extends along the inclined direction of the scraper and blocks the space above the scraper.

[0006] Preferably, the scraper is installed at the head of the vehicle body, and an angle adjustment mechanism is provided between the vehicle body and the scraper; the angle adjustment mechanism includes a mounting plate, a rotating part, and a moving part; the mounting plate is located at the head of the vehicle body; the rotating part is located at the end of the mounting plate near the scraper, and the scraper is rotatably connected to the mounting plate through the rotating part; the moving part is located at the end of the scraper away from the rotating part; by driving the scraper located in the moving part, the scraper rotates around the rotating part as the axis.

[0007] Preferably, a lifting mechanism is provided between the mounting plate and the vehicle body; the lifting mechanism includes a mounting frame and a bracket; the mounting frame is located at the head of the vehicle body and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body; one end of the bracket is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, and the other end of the bracket is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, a first hydraulic cylinder is provided between the bracket and the movable part on the scraper; when the rod of the first hydraulic cylinder is not stretched, the mounting plate and the scraper are in a parallel state; when the rod of the first hydraulic cylinder is stretched, the mounting plate and the scraper are at a certain angle.

[0009] Preferably, a second hydraulic cylinder is provided between the mounting frame and the bracket; when the rod of the second hydraulic cylinder is not extended, the scraper is in contact with the ground; when the rod of the second hydraulic cylinder is extended, the scraper is separated from the ground.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0011] 1. The scraper in this utility model is in contact with the ground and is set at an angle, which can move the pasture far away from the livestock from the lower right to the upper left to the area closer to the livestock. This effectively solves the problem that some pasture cannot be eaten because it is too far away from the livestock, greatly improves the utilization rate of pasture, reduces feed waste, and improves breeding efficiency. Moreover, the structure is simple and practical, and it is easy to promote and apply in farms.

[0012] 2.

[0021] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown: A forage sorting machine for a livestock farm, characterized in that it includes a scraper 1; the scraper 1 is installed at the head of the vehicle body; the scraper 1 is in contact with the ground when working; the contact surface between the scraper 1 and the forage is an inclined surface from the lower right to the upper left; when the scraper 1 passes over the forage on the ground, the forage moves from the lower right to the upper left of the scraper 1.

[0023] In existing technologies, when forage is placed on the ground, some of it is too far from the livestock, preventing them from eating all of it. To address this issue, a scraper 1 is installed at the front of the vehicle body, which contacts the ground. The scraper 1 is angled from the lower right to the upper left. When the scraper 1 passes over the forage on the ground, the forage is guided by the scraper 1 to move from the side furthest from the livestock to the side closest to them, thereby achieving high forage utilization.

[0024] Reference Figure 6 As shown: A baffle 11 is provided above the scraper 1; the baffle 11 extends along the inclined direction of the scraper 1 and blocks the space above the scraper 1.

[0025] During the movement of scraper 1, some forage will spill out from the top of scraper 1 as it moves along the inclined surface from the lower right to the upper left. This results in a small amount of forage remaining away from the livestock even after scraper 1 has passed over it. Therefore, a baffle 11 is installed at the top of scraper 1, and the baffle 11 is fixedly connected to scraper 1 to effectively prevent forage from flowing out from the top of scraper 1, thus avoiding secondary processing.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5As shown: The scraper 1 is installed at the head of the vehicle body, and an angle adjustment mechanism 2 is provided between the vehicle body and the scraper 1; the angle adjustment mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 21, a rotating part 22, and a moving part 23; the mounting plate 21 is located at the head of the vehicle body; the rotating part 22 is located at one end of the mounting plate 21 near the scraper 1, and the scraper 1 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 21 through the rotating part 22; the moving part 23 is located at one end of the scraper 1 away from the rotating part 22; by driving the scraper 1 located in the moving part 23, the scraper 1 rotates about the rotating part 22 as the axis.

[0027] To facilitate the movement of the scraper 1, a mounting plate 21 is provided at the head of the vehicle body. The scraper 1 is mounted on the head of the vehicle body via the mounting plate 21. A rotating part 22 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 21 near the scraper 1. The rotating part 22 is connected by a bearing or a hinge. A moving part 23 is provided on the scraper 1 and away from the rotating part 22, driving the scraper 1 located on one side of the moving part 23, so that the scraper 1 and the mounting plate 21 form an angle. Therefore, during the movement of the vehicle body, the scraper 1 is at an angle to the direction of movement of the vehicle body. Combined with the inclined surface of the scraper 1, the forage can be sorted more efficiently.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown: A lifting mechanism 3 is provided between the mounting plate 21 and the vehicle body; the lifting mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 31 and a bracket 32; the mounting frame 31 is located at the head of the vehicle body and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body; one end of the bracket 32 ​​is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 31, and the other end of the bracket 32 ​​is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21.

[0029] To facilitate storage, a lifting mechanism 3 is added between the mounting frame 31 and the vehicle body. By moving the support 32, the support 32 and the mounting frame 31 rotate around the axis, so that the mounting plate 21 and the mounting frame 31 move synchronously, thereby making the scraper 1 move away from the ground to achieve the purpose of storing the scraper 1.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown: A first hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided between the bracket 32 ​​and the moving part 23 on the scraper 1; when the rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 is not stretched, the mounting plate 21 and the scraper 1 are in a parallel state; when the rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 is stretched, the mounting plate 21 and the scraper 1 are at a certain angle.

[0031] To facilitate the adjustment of the angle between the mounting plate 21 and the scraper 1, a first hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided between the mounting plate 21 and the scraper 1. The cylinder body of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the bracket 32, and the rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the moving part 23 of the scraper 1. By controlling the extension and retraction of the rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 4, the angle between the mounting plate 21 and the scraper 1 is controlled, simplifying the adjustment of the angle between the mounting plate 21 and the scraper 1.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-4As shown: A second hydraulic cylinder 5 is provided between the mounting frame 31 and the bracket 32; when the rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 5 is not stretched, the scraper 1 is in contact with the ground; when the rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 5 is stretched, the scraper 1 is separated from the ground.

[0033] By controlling the extension and retraction of the second hydraulic cylinder 5, the position of the scraper 1 can be easily adjusted, thereby enabling the scraper 1 to be stored in the non-working state to avoid damage.

[0034] When the forage sorting machine for livestock farms is in operation, the vehicle body travels on the ground, with the scraper 1 in contact with the ground, its bottom higher than its top and its right side higher than its left, and its inclined surface facing from the lower right to the upper left. As the vehicle body moves the scraper 1 across the forage on the ground, the forage moves from the lower right to the upper left of the scraper 1, causing the forage away from the livestock to move towards the livestock to improve utilization. The baffle 11 above the scraper 1 extends towards the inclined surface of the scraper 1 and blocks the upper space, preventing the forage from moving out from the top as it moves along the inclined surface of the scraper 1. The scraper 1 is connected to the vehicle body via a mounting plate 21 installed at the head of the vehicle body. The rotating part 22 on the mounting plate 21 allows the scraper 1 to rotate around its axis by means of a shaft and bushing engagement or hinge. The moving part 23 is located at the end of the scraper 1 away from the rotating part 22. By driving the moving part 23, the angle between the scraper 1 and the mounting plate 21 can be changed, thereby making the scraper 1 and the vehicle body travel at a certain angle to the inclined surface to sort the forage. The lifting mechanism 3 between the mounting plate 21 and the vehicle body includes a mounting frame 31 and a bracket 32. The mounting frame 31 is fixed to the head of the vehicle body. One end of the bracket 32 ​​is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21. By moving the bracket 32, the mounting plate 21 and the mounting frame 31 can move synchronously to achieve the storage of the scraper 1. The first hydraulic cylinder 4 between the bracket 32 ​​and the moving part 23 on the scraper 1 has its cylinder body rotatably connected to the bracket 32 ​​and its rod body rotatably connected to the moving part 23. By controlling the extension and retraction of the rod body, the included angle between the mounting plate 21 and the scraper 1 can be adjusted and fixed. The second hydraulic cylinder 5 between the mounting frame 31 and the bracket 32 ​​can switch the scraper 1 between the contact and separation states by controlling the extension state of its rod body, thereby achieving the adjustment of the scraper 1 position and storage in the non-working state to avoid damage.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
