[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Combination Figures 1-4 An automatic feeding device for raising meat sheep includes a feed trough 1, a feeding mechanism 2 installed on the top of the feed trough 1, and a collection mechanism 3 installed at the rear end of the feed trough 1.

[0025] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 2 includes two hydraulic pumps 4 and a hopper 5. The two hydraulic pumps 4 are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the material trough 1 near the front and rear ends. Lifting blocks 6 are fixedly installed at the top of the telescopic rods of the two hydraulic pumps 4. A screw 7 is movably installed between the two lifting blocks 6 and a guide rod 8 is fixedly installed between them. A first motor 9 is installed at the front end of the screw 7. A slider 10 is externally connected to the screw 7 and the guide rod 8. The hopper 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 10. A support plate 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the hopper 5. A second motor 12 is installed on the top of the support plate 11. A spiral rod 13 is installed at the bottom end of the output shaft of the second motor 12 and inside the discharge pipe of the hopper 5. Two shrink sleeves 14 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the hopper 5 near the rear end. A slide rod 15 is movably installed inside the two shrink sleeves 14. A spring 16 is installed at the top end of the slide rod 15 and inside the shrink sleeve 14. A scraper 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the two slide rods 15.

[0026] The two lifting blocks 6 rise and fall synchronously. The slider 10 and the screw 7 are connected by a thread. The lifting blocks 6 are driven to rise and fall by the hydraulic pump 4, and the screw 7 is used to drive the slider 10 to slide laterally.

[0027] The screw rod 13 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 12. The discharge pipe of the hopper 5 is located directly above the feed trough 1. The second motor 12 drives the screw rod 13 to rotate, so that the feed is evenly fed into the feed trough 1.

[0028] The slide bar 15 is located inside the shrink sleeve 14 and is slidably disposed. The outer shape of the scraper 17 matches the inner wall of the material trough 1. The slide bar 15 slides downward under the action of the spring 16, so that the scraper 17 scrapes away the debris in the material trough 1.

[0029] Specifically, the hydraulic pump 4 drives the lifting block 6 to rise and fall, so that the discharge port of the hopper 5 and the scraper 17 are close to the feed trough 1. The screw 7 drives the slider 10 and the hopper 5 to move laterally. The screw rod 13 makes the feed in the hopper 5 evenly distributed. Before the feed is distributed, the scraper 17 scrapes away the debris in the feed trough 1.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] See Figure 4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, a solenoid valve 18 is installed at the front end of the material trough 1, and a water supply pipe 19 is connected to the front end of the solenoid valve 18. The collection mechanism 3 includes two lifting air pumps 20 and a baffle 21. The two lifting air pumps 20 are fixedly installed on both sides of the material trough 1, and the baffle 21 is fixedly installed between the top ends of the telescopic rods of the two lifting air pumps 20. A sewage discharge trough 22 is opened at the rear end of the material trough 1, and a collection box 23 is installed at the rear of the material trough 1.

[0032] The baffle 21 is matched with the sewage trough 22. The baffle 21 is located in the sewage trough 22 and is slidably installed up and down. The baffle 21 is used to intercept the feed and water in the feed trough 1 and to seal both ends of the feed trough 1.

[0033] The interiors of the drain trough 22 and the collection box 23 are interconnected. The drain trough 22 is used to discharge the cleaned waste, which is then collected by the collection box 23.

[0034] Specifically, the solenoid valve 18 is used to control the opening and closing of the water supply pipe 19, and the lifting air pump 20 drives the baffle 21 to slide up and down, opening or closing the sewage trough 22. The cleaned and scraped dirt is discharged into the collection box 23 through the sewage trough 22 for collection.

[0035] In actual operation, the solenoid valve 18 controls the opening and closing of the water supply pipe 19 for water supply and cleaning inside the feed trough 1, and the feed bin 5 is used to put feed into the feed trough 1.

[0036] During feeding, two hydraulic pumps 4 drive the lifting block 6 to descend, bringing the feed bin 5 and scraper 17 closer to the feed trough 1. By starting the first motor 9, the screw 7 rotates, causing the slider 10 to slide, which in turn causes the feed bin 5 to slide. At the same time, the second motor 12 drives the screw rod 13 to rotate, so that the feed in the feed bin 5 is evenly fed into the feed trough 1. During feeding, the scraper 17 contacts the inner wall of the feed trough 1, and the sliding rod 15 slides downward under the action of the spring 16, so that the scraper 17 is in close contact with the inner wall of the feed trough 1. By sliding laterally, the scraper 17 scrapes away the debris inside the feed trough 1, reducing the contamination of the feed.

[0037] During cleaning and collection, the solenoid valve 18 controls the water supply pipe 19 to deliver water to the material tank 1. At the same time, the lifting air pump 20 drives the baffle 21 to descend, closing the sewage discharge tank 22 and washing the inside of the material tank 1. After washing, the baffle 21 slides upward to open the sewage discharge tank 22, and the sewage and waste are discharged through the sewage discharge tank 22 into the collection box 23 for collection.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
