[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0024] The terminology used in this invention refers to those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functionality of this invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent, precedent, or new technology of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of this invention. Therefore, the terminology used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of this invention.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides an automatic feeding device for livestock and poultry farming, used for feeding poultry (such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, etc.), including a feeding tray 1, a feed jar 2, and a feeding guide component 3.

[0026] Specifically, the top of the feeding tray 1 has a feeding trough 11 for holding feed; the feed tank 2 has a storage cavity 21 with an opening at the top, and the bottom of the feed tank 2 is provided with a discharge port 22 that communicates with the storage cavity 21, and the discharge port 22 is located directly above the feeding trough 11, so as to ensure that the feed in the storage cavity 21 can fall into the feeding trough 11 of the feeding tray 1 after flowing out of the discharge port 22.

[0027] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 3 includes a feeding pipe 31 with a feeding channel 31a. The top end of the feeding pipe 31 is connected to the outlet 22 of the feed tank 2, so that the feed can be fed along the feeding channel 31a towards the feeding trough 11 of the feeding tray 1 after flowing out of the outlet 22. There is a gap between the bottom end of the feeding pipe 31 and the bottom of the feeding trough 11 of the feeding tray 1. The bottom outer wall of the feeding pipe 31 is provided with partition plates 32 arranged circumferentially. The partition plates 32 divide the feeding trough 11 into several feeding areas of the same size. A connecting frame 33 is provided at the end of the partition plate 32 away from the feeding pipe 31. The connecting frame 33 is connected to the feeding tray 1 by bolts.

[0028] In summary, as Figure 1 As shown, the automatic feeding device of the present invention includes, from top to bottom, a feeding tray 1, a feeding guide component 3, and a feed tank 2. The feeding tray 1 serves as a feeding utensil for poultry, and a feeding trough 11 is provided on its top for holding feed. The feed tanks 2 are arranged at intervals above the feeding tray 1, and the space between them serves as the space for the poultry's head to move when eating. The discharge port 22 of the feed tank 2 corresponds to the feeding trough 11 of the feeding tray 1, ensuring that the feed in the storage chamber 21 can accurately fall into the feeding trough 11 of the feeding tray 1 after flowing out of the discharge port 22.

[0029] After the feed flows out of the outlet 22 of the feed tank 2, it falls in an umbrella-like shape. The farther the feed tank 2 is from the feeding dish 1, the larger the scattering area. To prevent the feed from scattering and jumping out of the feeding dish 1, a feed guide component 3 is provided. By setting a feed pipe 31 with a feed passage 31a, it not only supports the feed tank 2 but also guides the feed to fall vertically. A gap is left between the bottom end of the feed pipe 31 and the bottom of the feeding trough 11 of the feeding dish 1, providing a shorter scattering distance for the feed, which can effectively reduce the amount of feed scattering outside the feeding dish 1, and also ensure that the feed can spread outwards after being discharged from the bottom of the feed pipe 31 to fill the feeding trough 11, providing poultry with sufficient feed. The partition plate 32 divides the feeding trough 11 into several feeding areas of the same size, which can feed multiple poultry at the same time. The partition plate 32 also effectively reduces the fighting between poultry due to competition for food by blocking the feed in adjacent feeding areas.

[0030] The feed falls automatically under the influence of gravity and piles up in the feed trough 11 of the feed dish 1 in a mountain shape. The peak of the pile is located at the bottom outlet of the feed pipe 31. When there is no poultry eating the feed, the peak of the pile can self-block the bottom outlet of the feed pipe 31. When the poultry start to eat, as the feed around them decreases, the pile of feed begins to slide from the central peak to the surrounding areas, thus achieving automatic replenishment of the feed.

[0031] As an optional embodiment, the lower part of the feed tank 2 is an inverted cone, the discharge port 22 of the feed tank 2 is located at the center of the bottom of the feed tank 2, and a block 7 for sealing the discharge port 22 is provided in the storage chamber 21 of the feed tank 2 at the discharge port 22.

[0032] Furthermore, a spring plate 4 and a receiving plate 5 are provided inside the feeding trough 11; a guide post 6 is vertically fixed to the top of the receiving plate 5, the guide post 6 passes through the feeding pipe 31 and is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the feeding pipe 31, and the end of the guide post 6 away from the receiving plate 5 extends into the storage cavity 21 and is fixed to the block 7.

[0033] Furthermore, the middle part of the spring plate 4 protrudes towards the opening of the feeding trough 11, and the receiving plate 5 can slide up and down along the wall of the feeding trough 11, with the bottom of the receiving plate 5 abutting against the middle protrusion of the spring plate 4.

[0034] In summary, by setting up the receiving plate 5 to receive the feed falling into the feeding trough 11, as the feed accumulates on the receiving plate 5, the total weight of the feed received by the receiving plate 5 increases, causing the spring plate 4 to collapse under pressure. The receiving plate 5 then moves downward, which in turn drives the block 7 to move downward through the guide post 6, sealing the outlet 22 from inside the storage cavity 21. During use, the amount of feed filling in the feeding trough 11 can be controlled by selecting spring plates 4 with different elasticity or adjusting the length of the guide post. When the feed in the feeding trough 11 is consumed, the spring plate 4 returns to its original position, the upper receiving plate 5 resets and moves upward, and the guide post 6 and the block 7 move upward simultaneously, reopening the outlet 22 of the feed tank 2 to replenish feed to the feeding trough 11 of the feeding tray 1.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, the bottom of the feeding trough 11 is provided with a guide groove 12 that is parallel to the opening and closing direction of the spring plate 4, and both ends of the spring plate 4 are inserted into the guide groove 12.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, the outer wall of the guide post 6 is circumferentially arranged with diverter plates 61, the outer wall of the diverter plates 61 being in contact with the inner wall of the feed pipe 31. The diversion gap formed by two adjacent diverter plates 61 corresponds to the feeding zone formed by two adjacent partition plates 32, guiding the feed into the feeding zone after exiting from the bottom outlet of the feed pipe 31. The diversion of feed by the diverter plates 61 ensures that the amount of feed allocated to each feeding zone is similar.

[0037] As an optional embodiment, the bottom of the partition plate 32 is provided with a slot 32a, and a positioning plate 51 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the receiving plate 5. The positioning plate 51 is inserted into the slot 32a of the adjacent partition plate 32, and the positioning plate 51 is fixedly connected to the adjacent diverting plate 61. Through the cooperation of the positioning plate 51 and the slot 32a, while positioning and installing the receiving plate 5 and the guiding component 3, the feed on the receiving plate 5 can be blocked, preventing the feed plate from sliding below the partition plate 32 when the receiving plate 5 moves upward, thus restricting the upward movement of the receiving plate 5.

[0038] As an optional embodiment, the bottom of the feed pipe 31 is provided with a notch 31b that opens toward the feeding area. This configuration increases the peak height of the feed piled up in the feed trough 11, thereby increasing the slope of the piled feed, so that when feed needs to be replenished, the feed can be discharged from the bottom of the feed pipe 31 more quickly and spread outwards.

[0039] As an optional embodiment, a pressure relief cover 23 is provided inside the storage chamber 21. The pressure relief cover 23 is fitted over the outside of the block 7 to prevent feed from accumulating inside the feed tank 2, which would cause the block 7 to be compressed and unable to move back up.

[0040] Furthermore, a connecting plate 24 is provided between the anti-pressure cover 23 and the side wall of the storage cavity 21.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, a lid 8 is provided at the top opening of the feed tank 2, which serves to seal, prevent dust and rain. A desiccant box 81 is provided on the side of the lid 8 facing the inside of the storage cavity 21. By placing a desiccant pack in the desiccant box 81, the moisture in the storage cavity 21 is absorbed, preventing the feed in the feed tank 2 from getting damp.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of this utility model.
