Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for cattle and sheep farms. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the livestock industry, farms now mainly rely on pen-based feeding, which requires regular manual feeding. Manual feeding is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also inefficient. Some large farms install conveyor belts between two enclosures to transport feed and achieve automatic feeding. However, cattle or sheep are blocked by the enclosures and can only eat the feed at the edge of the conveyor belt. The feed in the middle of the conveyor belt cannot be eaten by the cattle or sheep, resulting in waste of feed in the middle of the conveyor belt. It is necessary to clean up the accumulated feed in the middle or redistribute it regularly, which increases labor intensity and management costs.
[0003] Therefore, there is a need for an automatic feeding device for cattle and sheep farms to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model proposes an automatic feeding device for cattle and sheep farms. Through the cooperation of a feed conveyor belt and two spiral conveyor blades, the automatic feeding of cattle and sheep is realized. At the same time, the feed is dispersed to the sides of the feed conveyor belt where the feed can be eaten, avoiding feed waste caused by the feed piling up in the middle and not being able to be eaten.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] An automatic feeding device for cattle and sheep farms includes a support frame positioned between two livestock enclosures. A drive pulley and a driven pulley are rotatably mounted on the support frame. A feed conveyor belt is wound between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. A movable frame is positioned above the feed conveyor belt and is slidably mounted horizontally on the two livestock enclosures. A first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft are rotatably mounted horizontally at the bottom of the movable frame. Along the forward direction of the feed conveyor belt, the first rotating shaft is positioned downstream of the second rotating shaft. Spiral conveying blades for conveying feed from the middle of the feed conveyor belt to both sides are respectively provided on the first and second rotating shafts.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the first shaft and the second shaft extend along the width direction of the feed conveyor belt.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a horizontally arranged support plate is fixedly installed on each of the two breeding fences, and a guide groove is provided on the top of each support plate.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a drive shaft and a driven shaft are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mobile frame. A pair of drive wheels are fixedly mounted on the drive shaft, and a pair of driven wheels are fixedly mounted on the driven shaft. Both drive wheels and driven wheels are located in the corresponding guide grooves.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, two pairs of mounting brackets are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mobile frame, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are respectively rotatably installed on the corresponding two mounting brackets.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a horizontally arranged baffle is fixedly installed on each of the two breeding fences, and the two baffles are respectively arranged on both sides of the feed conveyor belt.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] Because the automatic feeding device for cattle and sheep farms includes spiral conveyor blades, during the use of this device, the feed conveyor belt transports the feed downstream, and the moving frame moves from one end of the feed conveyor belt to the other end. During the movement of the moving frame, the first and second rotating shafts rotate, driving the two spiral conveyor blades to transport the feed in the middle of the feed conveyor belt to the sides of the feed conveyor belt where it can be eaten. This realizes automatic feeding of cattle and sheep, and at the same time avoids feed waste caused by feed piling up in the middle and not being able to be eaten. It also avoids the need for manual cleaning or redistribution of the accumulated feed in the middle, reduces labor intensity and management costs, and improves the automation level of cattle and sheep feeding.
[0014] Due to space constraints, if the first and second shafts are arranged side by side, some feed in the middle of the feed conveyor belt cannot be conveyed by the spiral conveyor blades, resulting in feed residue. However, in this invention, the first shaft is located downstream of the second shaft, so that the first and second shafts are not limited by the installation space, and both spiral conveyor blades can convey the feed in the middle of the feed conveyor belt, thus avoiding feed residue in the middle.
[0015] The baffles on both sides of the feed conveyor belt can prevent feed from spilling from both sides during the conveying process, thus reducing feed waste. Attached Figure Description
