Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a walking feeder. Background Technology
[0002] In large-scale chicken farms today, farmers are starting to use mechanized equipment to replace manual labor in order to improve efficiency and save manure. Many farms are implementing large-scale modern farming methods, such as poultry farming, using cages that can automatically clean manure and collect eggs, and feeding the cages with gantry-type feeders. Examples include Chinese utility model patents CN205727617U, entitled "A Gantry-type Walking Chicken Farm Feed and Water Dispensing Device," and CN217644398U, entitled "A Walking Automatic Feeder for Poultry Farms."
[0003] Although the existing feeding equipment can all achieve the functions of walking and automatic feeding, the discharge effect is poor. For example, the former equipment does not have the function of actively discharging the material in the hopper. Although the latter equipment can use the auger to discharge the material in the hopper and ensure normal discharge, the auger cannot achieve the effect of uniform discharge from multiple outlets. Even if it can achieve multiple outlets, the material discharged from multiple outlets will gradually decrease as the material moves with the direction of the auger. The multiple outlets are not uniformly discharged and the material distribution effect is poor. Utility Model Content

[0029] This implementation example Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a mobile feeding machine includes a gantry frame 100 and a feeding mechanism 200 mounted on the gantry frame 100; wherein,
[0030] The feeding mechanism 200 includes multiple buffer bins 1 and a feeding head 2 connected to the bottom discharge end of the buffer bins 1; wherein,
[0031] The feeding head 2 includes a feeding cylinder 3, a feeding bin 4, and a closing component 5. The feeding cylinder 3 is installed at the bottom of the buffer bin 1, and the feeding end of the feeding cylinder 3 is connected to the discharging end of the buffer bin 1. The feeding ends of multiple feeding bins 4 are individually connected to multiple discharging ends of the feeding cylinder 3. Multiple closing components 5 are installed on the feeding bin 4, and the movable end of the closing component 5 seals the discharging end of the feeding cylinder 3.
[0032] A screw conveyor or an inclined conveyor transports materials from a low position (ground) to the feeding mechanism 200 on the gantry traveling frame 100. The gantry traveling frame 100 is started, moving the feeding mechanism 200 together in the same direction as the feeding trough of the breeding cage. The materials in the feeding mechanism 200 are evenly distributed into the feeding trough. When the materials flow into the feeding cylinder 3, the feeding cylinder 3 is started, rotating with the materials inside the feeding cylinder 3 until they flow from the discharge end of the feeding cylinder 3 into the feeding bin 4. When feeding is not required, the discharge end of the feeding cylinder 3 is sealed by the movable end of the closing component 5. The feeding head 2 itself has the functions of feeding and controlling the flow of materials. First, it greatly reduces the material blockage at the discharge end of the storage hopper. Second, it distributes materials evenly and is easy to use. Example
[0033] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment, for example Figure 5 As shown, the feeding cylinder 3 includes a cylinder body 6, a rotating shaft 7, a motor 8, and several feeding plates 9. The feeding ends of the multiple cylinder bodies 6 are individually connected to the bottom discharge ends of multiple buffer hoppers 1, and the multiple discharge ends of the cylinder bodies 6 are individually connected to the feeding ends of multiple discharge hoppers 4. The rotating shaft 7 is installed through and rotatably inside the multiple cylinder bodies 6. The feeding plates 9 are evenly installed on the rotating shaft 7 along the circumferential direction and located inside the cylinder bodies 6. The motor 8 is installed on the gantry traveling frame 100, and the power output end of the motor 8 is connected to the rotating shaft 7 through a chain and sprocket pair.
[0034] The motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 7 and several feeding plates 9 to rotate in the cylinder 6, pushing the material entering the cylinder 6 in one direction until it flows from the discharge end of the feeding cylinder 3 into the feeding bin 4. This ensures the smooth flow of the material and allows one feeding end to correspond to multiple discharge ports, meeting the requirement of multi-purpose feeding bins. That is, one feeding bin can provide material to multiple breeding units or feeding troughs. Example
[0035] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment, for example Figure 6 As shown, the closing assembly 5 includes a sealing plate 10 and a cylinder 11. The cylinder 11 is installed on the feeding bin 4, and the sealing plate 10 is installed on the power output end of the cylinder 11. The sealing plate 10 is adapted to the discharge end of the feeding cylinder 3.
[0036] The cylinder 11 moves the sealing plate 10, which is used to seal the discharge end of the feeding cylinder 3, and must not interfere with the rotation of the feeding plate 9 inside the feeding cylinder 3.
[0037] Preferably, a reinforcing rod 12 is provided inside the buffer hopper 1.
[0038] When temporarily storing large volumes of materials, the reinforcing rod 12 is used to ensure the strength of the buffer hopper 1.
[0039] Preferably, a collar 13 is slidably mounted on the feeding hopper 4 and locked with bolts, and a guide rod 14 is provided on the collar 13. The discharge end of the feeding hopper 4 is connected to a flexible hose, and the guide rod 14 is located inside the flexible hose.
[0040] The guide rod 14 can be a flexible rod or a spring.
[0041] The inlet end of the hose is installed on the outlet end of the feed hopper 4 via a ring clamp. The outlet end of the hose is connected to the feeding trough of each breeding unit. The guide rod 14 is located inside the hose to prevent the hose from getting blocked when making sharp turns.
[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
