Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock equipment technology, specifically an automated livestock feed dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] With social progress and the improvement of people's living standards, the market and demand for animal husbandry are also increasing. The number of individual households and farmers engaged in animal husbandry is also rising. For example, the market for raising native chickens, ducks and other poultry, as well as other livestock farming, is gradually expanding. For individual households and farmers with relatively small-scale livestock farms, it is difficult to achieve scientific ratios and limits for feed formulation and / or per-meal requirements. As a result, their breeding efficiency will decrease, and the output of poultry and livestock, including eggs, meat, growth cycle and health status, will be affected.

[0003] In the Chinese patented livestock feed dispenser (patent number: CN220326497U), the device includes a discharge tank, the top of which is connected to a processing tank. A crushing component is installed inside the processing tank, and a feeding hopper is connected to the outside of the processing tank. A discharge port is opened on the outside of the discharge tank, and a feeding trough is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge tank. The crushing component includes a motor mounted on the top of the processing tank, with a rotating rod fixedly connected to the motor's output end. A cutting blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod. A screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing tank, and the outside of the rotating rod rotatably engages with the inner wall of the screen. A guide platform is installed inside the discharge tank. This device solves the problem that existing devices require pre-crushing of roughage before adding it to the container body, which greatly increases labor costs and reduces feeding efficiency. However, this device cannot accurately weigh and distribute livestock feed according to the actual feeding amount, easily leading to feed waste or insufficient feeding, thus affecting the quality of livestock feeding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated livestock feed dispenser, comprising a feeding tray and a storage tank located above the feeding tray. Two symmetrically arranged fixing frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding tray, and the two fixing frames are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the storage tank. A feed inlet is connected to one end of the upper side of the storage tank. A crushing mechanism is provided in the storage tank. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the storage tank. A normally closed solenoid valve is provided on the discharge pipe. A weighing box is connected to the lower end of the discharge pipe. The bottom of the weighing box is designed to be open. An automatic weighing and discharging mechanism is provided at the bottom of the weighing box. A control panel is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the storage tank. The control panel is electrically connected to the crushing mechanism, the normally closed solenoid valve, and the automatic weighing and discharging mechanism.

[0006] The automatic weighing and unloading mechanism includes two electric push rods symmetrically fixed to the lower part of both sides of the weighing box. One end of each of the two electric push rods is fixedly connected to a connecting frame. The lower ends of the two connecting frames extend to the bottom of the weighing box and are fixedly connected to a sealing plate. Weighing sensors are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper side wall of the sealing plate. Weighing plates are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the four weighing sensors. The upper side wall of the weighing plate abuts against the bottom opening of the weighing box.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the crushing mechanism includes a cover strip fixed to the upper side wall of the storage tank, a motor fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the cover strip, the main shaft of the motor penetrating through the cover strip and fixedly connected to a first rotating rod, a double-grooved wheel fixedly connected to the first rotating rod, the first rotating rod penetrating through the storage tank and fixedly connected to a first crushing blade, two vertically symmetrically arranged second rotating rods rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the storage tank, a transmission wheel fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the two second rotating rods, and the double-grooved wheel being connected to the two transmission wheels via a transmission belt, and a second crushing blade fixedly connected to each of the two second rotating rods.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: wherein, the lower end of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to a spiral feeding blade, and the lower end of the spiral feeding blade extends into the discharge pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This automated livestock feed dispenser, through its automatic weighing and dispensing mechanism, allows for the precise weighing and dispensing of livestock feed. When a quantitative amount of feed needs to be dispensed, the required feed weight is pre-set on the control panel. The normally closed solenoid valve is then opened, and the feed from the storage tank flows orderly through the discharge pipe into the weighing box. The feed then lands on the weighing plate, where a weighing sensor measures its weight. Once the feed weight reaches the set value, the normally closed solenoid valve closes the discharge pipe, stopping the feed dispensing. Then, two electric actuators extend synchronously, causing the sealing plate to move laterally. This movement, in turn, causes the weighing plate to move laterally. The feed on the weighing plate, blocked by the side wall of the weighing box, falls from the bottom of the weighing box into the feeding tray below, achieving automatic weighing and dispensing of livestock feed. This results in higher accuracy in feed weight distribution, a higher degree of automation, greater ease of use, and improved quality of livestock feeding.

[0015] 2. This automated livestock feed dispenser, by setting up a crushing mechanism, starts the motor to drive the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first crushing blade to rotate. At the same time, since the double grooved wheel is driven by two transmission belts and two transmission wheels, it can drive the second crushing blades on the two second rotating rods to rotate simultaneously, which can quickly crush the livestock feed in the storage tank and achieve better crushing effect.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 In this practical embodiment, an automated livestock feed dispenser includes a feeding tray 1 and a storage tank 2 located above the feeding tray 1. The storage tank 2 can store at least one day's worth of livestock feed. Two symmetrically arranged fixing brackets 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding tray 1, and the two fixing brackets 3 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the storage tank 2. A feed inlet 4 is connected to the upper end of the storage tank 2 for adding livestock feed. A crushing mechanism is provided in the storage tank 2. A feed drop pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 2. A normally closed solenoid valve 6 is provided on the feed drop pipe 5. A weighing box 7 is connected to the lower end of the feed drop pipe 5. The bottom of the weighing box 7... The weighing box 7 is designed with an open top to facilitate the feeding of the weighed livestock feed. The bottom of the weighing box 7 is equipped with an automatic weighing and feeding mechanism. The front side wall of the storage tank 2 is fixedly connected to a control panel 8. The control panel 8 is electrically connected to the crushing mechanism, the normally closed solenoid valve 6 and the automatic weighing and feeding mechanism. This means that all electrical equipment of this device is electrically connected to the control panel 8. The control panel 8 may include a timer, a display screen, a data storage unit, a data processing unit and a control unit to realize automatic timed and quantitative control. The power supply can be connected to an external power supply or a battery. The circuit control involved is existing technology and can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, so there is no need to elaborate.

[0024] The automatic weighing and dispensing mechanism includes two electric push rods 9 symmetrically fixed to the lower parts of both sides of the weighing box 7. One end of each electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 10. The lower ends of the two connecting frames 10 extend to the bottom of the weighing box 7 and are fixedly connected to a sealing plate 11. Weighing sensors 12 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper side wall of the sealing plate 11. Weighing plates 13 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the four weighing sensors 12. The upper side wall of the weighing plate 13 abuts against the bottom opening of the weighing box 7. When quantitative weighing and dispensing of livestock feed is required, the required weight of livestock feed is pre-set on the control panel 8, and the normally closed solenoid valve 6 is opened, releasing the livestock feed from the storage tank 2. Feed falls orderly from the feed pipe 5 into the weighing box 7. At this time, the feed falls onto the weighing plate 13, and the weighing sensor 12 can weigh the feed. When the feed weight reaches the set value, the normally closed solenoid valve 6 closes the feed pipe 5, stopping the feed feeding. Then, the two electric push rods 9 are activated to extend synchronously, driving the sealing plate 11 to move laterally. At this time, the weighing plate 13 is moved laterally, and the feed on the weighing plate 13 is blocked by the side wall of the weighing box 7, and can fall from the bottom of the weighing box 7 into the feeding tray 1 below, realizing automatic weighing and distribution of livestock feed. The weight distribution of livestock feed is more accurate, the degree of automation is higher, the use is more convenient, and the quality of livestock feeding is improved.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown: The crushing mechanism includes a cover strip 14 fixed to the upper side wall of the storage tank 2. A motor 15 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the cover strip 14. The main shaft of the motor 15 passes through the cover strip 14 and is fixedly connected to a first rotating rod 17. A double-grooved wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 17. The first rotating rod 17 passes through the storage tank 2 and is fixedly connected to a first crushing blade 18. Two vertically symmetrically arranged second rotating rods 19 are rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the storage tank 2. The upper ends of both second rotating rods 19 are fixedly connected to a transmission wheel 2 in the cover strip 14. The double grooved wheel 16 is connected to the two drive wheels 20 via a drive belt 21. The two second rotating rods 19 are fixedly connected with second crushing blades 22. When the livestock feed is placed in the storage tank 2, the motor 15 is started to work, driving the first rotating rod 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the first crushing blade 18 to rotate. At the same time, since the double grooved wheel 16 is connected to the two drive wheels 20 via two drive belts 21, the second crushing blades 22 on the two second rotating rods 19 can rotate simultaneously, which can quickly crush the livestock feed in the storage tank 2, and the crushing effect is better.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown: The lower end of the first rotating rod 17 is fixedly connected to a spiral feeding blade 23. The lower end of the spiral feeding blade 23 extends into the discharge pipe 5. When the first rotating rod 17 rotates, it drives the spiral feeding blade 23 to rotate. When the normally closed solenoid valve 6 on the discharge pipe 5 is opened, the material can be discharged in an orderly and rapid manner.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown: The inner top wall of the cover strip 14 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the two second rotating rods 19 through bearing seats, so that the rotation of the second rotating rods 19 is more stable.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown: The bottom end of the weighing box 7, away from the connecting frame 10, is fixedly connected to a support frame 24. The bottom of the sealing plate 11 is rubbed against the upper side wall of the transverse section of the support frame 24, which can support the sealing plate 11 without affecting its displacement.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown: Reinforcing frames 25 are fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the two fixed frames 3. One end of the two reinforcing frames 25 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the weighing box 7, making the structure more stable.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown: The side wall of the storage tank 2 is provided with an observation window 26 made of transparent glass, which makes it easy to observe the amount of material in the storage tank 2.

[0031] Working principle: When it is necessary to weigh and distribute livestock feed in a quantitative manner, the required weight of livestock feed is first preset on the control panel 8. The normally closed solenoid valve 6 is opened, and the livestock feed in the storage tank 2 falls orderly into the weighing box 7 through the feed pipe 5. At this time, the feed falls onto the weighing plate 13, and the weighing sensor 12 can weigh the feed. When the feed weight reaches the set value, the normally closed solenoid valve 6 closes the feed pipe 5 to stop the feed feeding. Then, the two electric push rods 9 are started to extend synchronously, driving the sealing plate 11 to move laterally. At this time, the weighing plate 13 is moved laterally, and the feed on the weighing plate 13 is blocked by the side wall of the weighing box 7 and can fall from the bottom of the weighing box 7 into the feeding tray 1 below, realizing the automatic weighing and distribution of livestock feed. The weight distribution of livestock feed is more accurate, the degree of automation is higher, and it is more convenient to use.

[0032] When livestock feed is placed in storage tank 2, motor 15 is started to work, driving the first rotating rod 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the first crushing blade 18 to rotate. At the same time, since the double grooved wheel 16 is driven by two transmission belts 21 and two transmission wheels 20, it can drive the second crushing blades 22 on the two second rotating rods 19 to rotate simultaneously, which can quickly crush the livestock feed in storage tank 2 and achieve better crushing effect.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
