Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry, specifically to a precision feeding device for sheep farming. Background Technology

[0002] Feed troughs are essential facilities in sheep farming, used to hold feed and meet the daily eating needs of sheep.

[0003] Existing feeding trough structures, such as the utility model patent with application number CN201420175851.5, disclose a goat feeding trough, which includes a fixing device, an outer frame, and a feeding trough. The fixing device is provided with hooks and screw holes, and the outer frame is provided with ear buckles on both sides. The outer frame is connected to the hooks of the fixing device through the ear buckles, and the feeding trough is installed inside the outer frame.

[0004] The existing feeding troughs are just long, narrow troughs with simple structure and function. They require manual feeding, which makes it difficult to control the amount of feed and is not conducive to the growth and development of sheep. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a precision feeding device for sheep farming, which can quantitatively feed the feed into the trough, thereby solving the defects mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A precision feeding device for sheep farming includes a long, narrow trough with multiple feeding troughs evenly spaced along its length on the top. A support frame is located at the rear of the trough, and a movable frame driven by a power mechanism and moving along the length of the trough is mounted on the support frame. A hopper is fixedly installed on the movable frame, and a feed box is detachably mounted on the upper end of the hopper. A downward-extending discharge pipe is located at the bottom of the hopper, and a turntable driven by a power device and rotating around its own axis is located inside the discharge pipe. The axis of the turntable extends horizontally, and multiple feeding troughs are evenly spaced circumferentially on the outer circumference of the turntable.

[0008] As a further improvement, the opposite side walls of the discharge pipe are provided with arc-shaped portions that fit against the outer periphery of the turntable.

[0009] As a further improvement, a guide pipe is fixedly installed at the lower end of the discharge pipe, and the lower end of the guide pipe extends forward at an angle to above one of the feeding troughs.

[0010] As a further improvement, a slide rod extending along the length of the groove is fixedly installed on the bracket, and a slide seat matching the slide rod is fixedly installed on the movable frame; the power mechanism includes a lead screw driven to rotate by an adjusting motor, the lead screw being arranged parallel to the slide rod, and a lead screw nut matching the lead screw being fixedly installed on the movable frame.

[0011] As a further improvement, the material box has openings at both the top and bottom, and the lower end of the material box is movably inserted into the upper end of the hopper; upwardly extending ear plates are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the hopper, and locking screws for pressing against the material box are screwed onto the ear plates.

[0012] As a further improvement, a strip-shaped hole is provided on one side wall of the material box, and a baffle for preventing the material in the material box from falling is movably inserted into the strip-shaped hole.

[0013] As a further improvement, support bars for supporting the baffle are fixedly installed on the inner sides of the two side walls of the material box near the strip hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] By adjusting the motor to drive the lead screw to rotate, the lead screw acts on the lead screw nut, thereby driving the movable frame to move left and right along the slide bar. In turn, the movable frame drives the hopper to move between the feeding troughs, adding feed to different feeding troughs. There is no need for manual feeding, which saves more manpower.

[0016] The feed is driven by a discharge motor to rotate the turntable. During the rotation of the turntable, the feed in the discharge pipe falls into the feed trough located at the top of the turntable, while the feed in the feed trough located at the bottom of the turntable is discharged through the lower end of the discharge pipe. By controlling the rotation angle of the turntable, the volume of feed discharged can be adjusted to allow for precise feeding of sheep, which is more conducive to the healthy development of sheep.

[0017] Once the feed in the hopper is depleted, the locking screw can be loosened and the hopper removed from the top of the feed box, making it easier to add feed to the hopper. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the precision feeding equipment for sheep farming includes a long strip-shaped trough 1. Multiple feeding troughs 2 are evenly spaced along the length of the top of the trough 1. The feeding troughs 2 are used to hold feed, and each feeding trough is used to feed one sheep.

[0027] A support 3 is provided on the rear side of the tank 1. The support 3 has two vertical plates 4 arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides. A horizontal plate 5 is fixedly installed between the lower ends of the two vertical plates 4 by bolts. The support 3 is equipped with a movable frame 6 driven by a power mechanism and moving left and right along the length of the trough 1. A sliding rod 7 extending left and right along the length of the trough is fixed between the two upright plates 4 by bolts. A sliding seat 8 matching the sliding rod 7 is fixed to the bottom rear end of the movable frame 6 by bolts, providing guidance for the left and right movement of the movable frame 6. The power mechanism includes a lead screw 10 driven by an adjusting motor 9. The lead screw 10 is set parallel to the sliding rod 7. The adjusting motor 9 is bolted to the right upright plate 4. The right end of the lead screw 10 is connected to the rotating shaft of the adjusting motor 9 by a coupling, and the left end is rotatably mounted on the left upright plate 4 by a bearing. A screw nut 11 matching the lead screw 10 is fixed to the bottom front end of the movable frame 6 by bolts. When the adjusting motor 9 is working, it drives the lead screw 10 to rotate. The lead screw 10 acts on the screw nut 11, thereby driving the movable frame 6 to move left and right along the sliding rod 7. In turn, the movable frame 6 drives the hopper 12 to move between the feed troughs 2, adding feed to different feed troughs 2.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a hopper 12 is fixedly installed on the movable frame 6. The upper end of the hopper 12 is open, and a feed box 13 for storing feed is detachably installed on the upper end of the hopper 12. The bottom of the hopper 12 has a downwardly extending discharge pipe 14. Inside the discharge pipe 14 is a turntable 15 driven by a power device and rotating around its own axis. The axis of the turntable 15 extends horizontally back and forth, and multiple feed troughs 16 are evenly spaced circumferentially on the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 15. Specifically, the power device is a discharge motor 17 bolted to the rear side of the discharge pipe 14. The rotation axis of the discharge motor 17 extends forward into the discharge pipe 14, and the turntable 15 is coaxially fixedly installed on the rotation axis of the discharge motor 17.

[0029] In this embodiment, the front and rear side walls of the discharge pipe 14 are respectively attached to the front and rear ends of the turntable 15, and the left and right side walls of the discharge pipe 14 are respectively provided with arc-shaped portions 18 that are attached to the outer periphery of the turntable 15. Thus, when the turntable 15 is stationary, the feed in the discharge pipe 14 cannot fall and be discharged smoothly; or the discharge motor 17 drives the turntable 15 to rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 15, the feed in the discharge pipe 14 falls into the feed trough 16 located at the top of the turntable 15, and at the same time, the feed in the feed trough 16 located at the bottom of the turntable 15 is discharged through the lower end of the discharge pipe 14. Thus, the volume of feed discharged can be adjusted by controlling the rotation angle of the turntable 15.

[0030] To ensure that the feed discharged from the lower end of the discharge pipe 14 accurately falls into the feeding trough 2, a guide pipe 19 is bolted to the lower end of the discharge pipe 14. The lower end of the guide pipe 19 extends forward at an angle above one of the feeding troughs 2. Specifically, when feed needs to be added to the feeding trough 2, the movable frame 6 moves the hopper 12, aligning the guide pipe 19 at the lower end of the discharge pipe 14 with the feeding trough 2 where feed needs to be added. Then, the controller drives the discharge motor 17 to rotate at a certain angle, and the discharge motor 17 drives the turntable 15 to rotate synchronously, so that a fixed amount of feed in the feed box 13 is discharged into the feeding trough 2 through the discharge pipe 14 and the guide pipe 19.

[0031] The feed hopper 13 has openings at both the top and bottom. The lower end of the feed hopper 13 is movably inserted into the upper end of the feed hopper 12 for easy disassembly. Upward-extending ear plates 20 are bolted to the left and right sides of the feed hopper 12. Locking screws 21, which are screwed onto the ear plates 20 to press against the feed hopper 13, extend laterally. A knob is fixedly installed at the end of the locking screw 21 away from the feed hopper 13. Specifically, when the feed in the feed hopper 13 is depleted, the locking screws 21 can be loosened and the feed hopper 13 removed from the upper end of the feed hopper 12 to allow feed to be added back into the feed hopper 13. After the feed is added, the feed hopper 13 is reinstalled onto the upper end of the feed hopper 12, and then the locking screws 21 are tightened. The locking screws 21 press against the side wall of the feed hopper 13 to prevent it from loosening.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, a strip-shaped hole 22 is provided on the rear side wall of the feed hopper 13 near the lower end. The strip-shaped hole 22 extends laterally along its length and penetrates the rear side wall of the feed hopper 13 from front to back, and protrudes outside the feed hopper 12. A baffle 23 is movably inserted into the strip-shaped hole 22 to prevent material in the feed hopper 13 from falling. After the feed hopper 13 is removed from the upper end of the feed hopper 12, the baffle 23 is inserted into the feed hopper 13 through the strip-shaped hole 22. When feed is added back into the feed hopper 13, the baffle 23 provides support for the bottom of the feed, preventing the newly added feed from leaking out through the bottom of the feed hopper 13; or after the feed hopper 13 is reinstalled on the upper end of the feed hopper 12, the baffle 23 is pulled out from the outside of the feed hopper 13, allowing the feed in the feed hopper 13 to fall smoothly downward into the discharge pipe 14.

[0033] To prevent the baffle 23 from deforming under pressure, support bars 24 for supporting the baffle 23 are fixedly installed on the inner sides of the left and right side walls of the material box 13 by bolts.
