AI Technical Summary
Existing livestock feeders are prone to causing feed to accumulate on one side during the feeding process, resulting in too much or too little feed in some areas, which leads to livestock fighting for feed, increasing waste and feeding time.
The first and second lead screws, driven by dual-axis motors, move the first and second feed hoppers through threaded seats, dispersing the feed from the center to both sides. Combined with the inclined tube and vibrating motor, this prevents clogging and ensures uniform coverage of the entire feed trough.
This achieves uniform distribution of feed, reduces competition and waste, shortens feeding time, and improves feeding efficiency.

[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] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] A livestock feeder includes a base plate 1, a first hopper 14 and a second hopper 15. A bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1. A dual-shaft motor 8 is fixedly installed inside the bracket 2. One output shaft of the dual-shaft motor 8 is fixedly connected to a first lead screw 9 through a coupling. The other output shaft of the dual-shaft motor 8 is fixedly connected to a second lead screw 10 through a coupling. Threaded seats 12 are threadedly installed on both the first lead screw 9 and the second lead screw 10. The first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15 are both fixedly installed on the threaded seats 12.
[0025] The top of the base plate 1 is symmetrically fixed with two sets of feeding troughs 19 for receiving feed, located below the first feeding hopper 14 and the second feeding hopper 15.
[0026] In an optional embodiment: a storage hopper 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the support 2, and a discharge pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the storage hopper 3. A first valve 5 is provided on the discharge pipe 4.
[0027] It should be noted that the feed can be stored in the hopper 3, and the feed in the hopper 3 can be transported through the feed pipe 4 by opening the first valve 5.
[0028] In an optional embodiment: the bottom of the feed pipe 4 is connected to a first inclined pipe 6 and a second inclined pipe 7 that are inclined. One end of the first inclined pipe 6 is located above the first feed hopper 14, and one end of the second inclined pipe 7 is located above the second feed hopper 15.
[0029] It should be noted that, through the arrangement of the first inclined pipe 6 and the second inclined pipe 7, the feed in the storage hopper 3 can be simultaneously transported to the first discharge hopper 14 and the second discharge hopper 15 via the first inclined pipe 6 and the second inclined pipe 7.
[0030] In an optional embodiment: two sets of fixing plates 18 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and the ends of the first lead screw 9 and the second lead screw 10 are movably installed in the fixing plates 18.
[0031] It should be noted that the fixing plate 18 serves to support the first lead screw 9 and the second lead screw 10, thereby improving their support strength.
[0032] In an optional embodiment: a positioning rod 11 is fixedly installed on the bracket 2 and the fixing plate 18, and a positioning seat 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15, and the positioning seat 13 is slidably installed on the positioning rod 11.
[0033] It should be noted that the positioning rod 11, in conjunction with the positioning seat 13, can position the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15, so that when the dual-axis motor 8 drives the first lead screw 9 and the second lead screw 10, in conjunction with the threaded seat 12, to move the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15, the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15 can move stably.
[0034] In an optional embodiment: the bottom of the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15 are connected by a discharge pipe 16, and a second valve 17 is provided on the discharge pipe 16.
[0035] In an optional embodiment: a storage shell 21 is fixedly installed inside the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15, a baffle plate 22 is movably installed inside the storage shell 21, a handle 23 is movably installed on the baffle plate 22, an arc-shaped hole 24 is opened inside the storage shell 21, and the handle 23 is disposed in the arc-shaped hole 24.
[0036] It should be noted that by combining the storage shell 21 with the baffle plate 22, the first feed hopper 14 and the second feed hopper 15 can be blocked, preventing livestock from eating feed over the first feed hopper 14 and the second feed hopper 15.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, a vibration motor 20 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 2.
[0038] It should be noted that the vibration motor 20 facilitates the feeding of feed and prevents the feed from getting stuck in the storage hopper 3, the first inclined pipe 6, the second inclined pipe 7, the first feeding hopper 14, the second feeding hopper 15 and the discharge pipe 16.
[0039] In practical use, first pour the feed into the storage hopper 3, open the first valve 5, start the vibration motor 20, so that the vibration motor 20 can vibrate the storage hopper 3, so that the feed in the storage hopper 3 can be transported through the discharge pipe 4 to the first inclined pipe 6 and the second inclined pipe 7, and then discharged into the first discharge hopper 14 and the second discharge hopper 15.
[0040] After the feed falls into the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15, the baffle 22 can be moved inside the storage shell 21 by sliding the handle 23, so that the storage shell 21 and the baffle 22 can cover the top of the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15.
[0041] Open the second valve 17 to allow the feed in the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15 to fall into the feeding trough 19 through the discharge pipe 16. Start the dual-shaft motor 8. The output shaft of the dual-shaft motor 8 rotates, driving the first lead screw 9 and the second lead screw 10 to rotate. When the first lead screw 9 and the second lead screw 10 rotate, they drive the threaded seat 12 to move. When the threaded seat 12 moves, it drives the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15 to move away from each other at the same time. When the first hopper 14 and the second hopper 15 move, the feed can be evenly covered in the feeding trough 19, preventing feed from piling up in the feeding trough 19. This avoids local feed accumulation or shortage, which can cause livestock to trample on the feed or spill feed due to fighting for it. This reduces feed waste, allows livestock to eat from both sides at the same time, reduces competition for feed, and shortens the overall feeding time, thus improving feeding efficiency.
[0042] 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 these 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.
