Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable automatic feeding and feed-saving device. Background Technology
[0002] Modern scientific research shows that pigeon meat is rich in high-quality protein and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. Therefore, as people's living standards continue to improve, the demand for pigeons is also increasing. To meet market demand, pigeon lofts typically use automatic feeding devices to replace the more laborious manual feeding, saving costs and increasing efficiency. However, existing automatic feeding devices are difficult to adjust the feed output, which may lead to excessive feed accumulation. When pigeons peck at the feed, it is easy for the feed to be thrown around, resulting in significant waste. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing devices mentioned above, this utility model provides an adjustable automatic feeding and material-saving device.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an adjustable automatic feeding and saving device, wherein the feeding and saving device is set on one side of the pigeon cage, the feeding and saving device includes a walking mechanism, the walking mechanism is mounted above the pigeon cage, and several feed bins are provided below the walking mechanism. The bottom of the feed bin is a sloping flat opening, and a saving plate is provided above the sloping flat opening. The saving plate has an elongated hole in the middle for adjusting the position. The saving plate is fixedly connected to the sloping flat opening by a screw. In use, the position of the saving plate is adjusted according to the actual situation, and the bottom of the screw is passed through the elongated hole and the screw is tightened to fix the saving plate to the sloping flat opening. A receiving hopper fixedly connected to the pigeon cage is provided below the sloping flat opening. A strainer is provided on the top surface of the receiving hopper at a position corresponding to the opening direction of the sloping flat opening. When the pigeons peck at the feed, feed scraps will enter the receiving hopper through the strainer, reducing waste.
[0005] Preferably, a baffle plate is provided on the side of the top surface of the feed hopper away from the sloping opening, which prevents the feed from being thrown off the top surface of the feed hopper when the pigeons peck at the feed, thus further reducing waste.
[0006] Preferably, two symmetrically arranged fixing plates are fixedly connected to one side of the pigeon cage. Threaded holes are provided at the joints between the feeding hopper and the fixing plates on both sides. The feeding hopper and the fixing plates are fixedly connected by screws. During installation, the feeding hopper is placed between the fixing plates and fixed by screws, which is convenient for disassembly and subsequent cleaning and collection of residue in the feeding hopper.
[0007] Preferably, a rotating plate is fixedly connected to the top of the screw, so that no external tools are needed when adjustment is required, which is convenient for workers to use and saves time and effort.
[0008] Preferably, the walking mechanism includes a crossbeam, with sliders at both ends of the crossbeam and slide rails below the sliders. The slide rails are fixedly connected to the external wall. A rotating shaft connected to the crossbeam by an external motor is provided, with gears fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. A rack is fixedly connected below the gears and to one side of the slide rail. In use, the motor drives the rotating shaft to drive the gears to move linearly along the direction of the rack.
[0009] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that by adjusting the height of the feed-saving plate, the amount of feed discharged from the slanted flat opening of the feed hopper can be adjusted, effectively reducing the waste caused by pigeons throwing out feed due to excessive feed.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.
[0017] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features for a similar purpose, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0018] like Figure 1-4The diagram shows an adjustable automatic feeding and saving device. The device is located on one side of a pigeon cage 1 and includes a walking mechanism 2 mounted above the pigeon cage 1. Several feed bins 3 are located below the walking mechanism 2. The bottom of each feed bin 3 has a sloping, flat opening 4. A feed-saving plate 6 is located above the sloping, flat opening 4, and the feed-saving plate 6 has an elongated hole 7 in the middle for adjusting its position. The feed-saving plate 6 is fixedly connected to the sloping, flat opening 4 by a screw 8. In use, the position of the feed-saving plate 6 is adjusted according to the actual situation, and the bottom of the screw 8 is passed through the elongated hole 7. The screw 8 is then tightened to fix the feed-saving plate 6 to the sloping, flat opening 4. A receiving hopper 5, fixedly connected to the pigeon cage 1, is located below the sloping, flat opening 4. A mesh 10 is located on the top surface of the receiving hopper 5 at a position corresponding to the opening direction of the sloping, flat opening 4. When pigeons peck at the feed, feed scraps will pass through the mesh 10 into the receiving hopper 5, reducing waste.
[0019] A baffle plate 11 is provided on the top surface of the feed hopper 5 away from the inclined flat opening 4. When pigeons peck at the feed, it prevents the feed from being thrown off the top surface of the feed hopper 5, thus further reducing waste.
[0020] Two symmetrically arranged fixing plates 12 are fixedly connected to one side of the pigeon cage 1. Threaded holes 21 are provided at the joints between the receiving hopper 5 and the fixing plates 12 on both sides. The receiving hopper 5 and the fixing plates 12 are fixedly connected by screws 13. During installation, the receiving hopper 5 is placed between the fixing plates 12 and fixed by screws, which facilitates disassembly and subsequent cleaning and collection of residue in the receiving hopper 5.
[0021] The top of the screw 8 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 14, which allows for adjustment without the need for external tools, making it convenient for staff to use and saving time and effort.
[0022] The walking mechanism 2 includes a crossbeam 15, with sliders 16 located below both ends of the crossbeam 15, and slide rails 17 located below the sliders 16. The slide rails 17 are fixedly connected to the external wall. A rotating shaft 18 connected to the crossbeam 15 via an external motor is provided. Gears 19 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 18. A rack 20 is fixedly connected below the gears 19 and to one side of the slide rail 17. In use, the motor drives the rotating shaft 18 to drive the gears 19 to move linearly along the direction of the rack 20.
[0023] Adjust the feed-saving plate 6 to a suitable height according to the number of pigeons and their feed intake in the pigeon cage 1, and fix it with the screw 8. When in use, the motor drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, which drives the crossbeam 15 and the feed bin 3 to move slowly along the slide rail 17. When the pigeons in the pigeon cage 1 are pecking at the feed, the baffle plate 11 can effectively prevent the feed from being thrown off the top surface of the feed hopper 5. After pecking, the feed scraps will enter the inside of the feed hopper 5 through the strainer 10, reducing waste. When the feed hopper 5 needs to be cleaned, simply turn the screw 13 to disassemble the feed hopper 5.
[0024] This design is ingenious. By adjusting the height of the feed-saving plate, the amount of feed discharged from the sloping flat opening of the hopper can be adjusted, effectively reducing waste caused by pigeons throwing out too much feed. In addition, feed residue can be collected through the baffle plate, the strainer, and the feed hopper to reduce waste. The feed hopper is fixedly connected to the pigeon cage by screws, which facilitates subsequent cleaning of the inside of the feed hopper.
[0025] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. This invention extends to any new feature or combination disclosed in this specification, as well as any new method or process step or combination disclosed herein.
