[0022] It should be noted that by starting the first motor 6, the first motor 6 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate, causing the first slider 7 to move. The movement of the first slider 7 drives the feeding hopper 10 to move, so that the feeding hopper 10 moves to different positions to feed the chickens in each chicken house. Before feeding, the feed is fed through the feed pipe at the bottom of the storage box 18. The feed enters the feeding hopper 10 through the feed collection pipe 12. Then, the second motor 15 drives the rotating rod 13 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 13 drives the first auger 14 to rotate, so that the feed is transported in the feeding hopper 10. Then, it is discharged through each discharge pipe 11 to feed the chickens. A feed box can be placed below the discharge pipe 11. A weighing sensor can be installed in the feed box to measure the amount of feed fed.

[0026] It should be noted that when the first slider 7 moves directly below the feed pipe, the signal emitted by the infrared transmitter is received by the infrared receiver at one end of one of the feed pipes. At this time, the infrared receiver sends the signal to the controller 25, which then controls the first valve on the corresponding feed pipe to open, allowing the feed to be discharged through the feed pipe into the receiving pipe 12 and then into the feeding hopper 10. In this way, the feed is fed into the feeding hopper 10 in batches when feeding is needed, reducing the burden on the feeding hopper 10 and increasing its lifespan.
