Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ranch farming technology, and in particular to a cattle and sheep feeding device used on ranches. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern agriculture and animal husbandry, traditional cattle and sheep feeding methods have gradually revealed problems such as low efficiency, high reliance on manual labor, and resource waste. In order to improve the production efficiency of ranches and reduce operating costs, ranch managers have gradually introduced automated and intelligent feeding systems.
[0003] Traditional feed dispensing equipment often fails to provide precise feed according to the different weights and needs of cattle and sheep, resulting in feed waste and poor feeding outcomes. Therefore, this invention proposes a cattle and sheep feeding device for ranches to meet the need for precise control of feed supply based on the weight of each animal. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a cattle and sheep feeding device for ranches, so as to solve the problem that traditional feed dispensing devices often cannot accurately feed cattle and sheep according to their different weights and needs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cattle and sheep feeding device for ranches, comprising multiple sets of support frames, a bearing plate on one side of each support frame, a guide plate on one side of each bearing plate, a trigger plate within the guide plate, a storage trough at the top of each support frame, a feeding trough at the bottom of each support frame, multiple sets of support rails at the bottom of each bearing plate, and a trigger assembly on one side of each bearing plate; a feed dispensing assembly is provided within the storage trough; the trigger assembly is used to determine cattle and sheep of different weights; and the feed dispensing assembly is used to dispense feed quantitatively according to the different weights of the cattle and sheep.
[0006] Preferably, the triggering component includes a guide rod disposed at the bottom of the support rail. The guide rod is a telescopic structure. A synchronization plate is disposed at the top of the guide rod. A return spring is sleeved on the guide rod. One end of the return spring is disposed at the bottom of the support rail, and the other end of the return spring is disposed on one side of the synchronization plate. The trigger plate is rotatably disposed at the top of the synchronization plate. The elastic force of the return spring is greater than the weight of the trigger plate.
[0007] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a set of mounting cylinders that pass through the storage slot, a movable rod that is slidably disposed inside the mounting cylinder, a limit plate that is disposed at the top of the movable rod, a set of extension plates that are disposed on the mounting cylinder, a flip plate that is rotatably disposed inside the extension plates, the flip plate that engages with the movable rod, a release plate that is disposed at one end of the flip plate, and a passage slot that is adapted to the release plate that is provided on the storage slot.
[0008] Preferably, the guide plate has a sliding groove, a sliding rod is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, a connecting plate is disposed on the sliding rod, and the connecting plate is disposed at the bottom of the trigger plate.
[0009] Preferably, a guide rod is provided on one side of the guide plate. The guide rod is a telescopic structure. A contact plate is provided at one end of the guide rod. A buffer spring is sleeved on the guide rod. One end of the buffer spring is located on the inner wall of the guide plate, and the other end of the buffer spring is located on one side of the contact plate. The contact plate is in contact with the bottom of the connecting plate.
[0010] Preferably, a synchronizing rod is fixedly provided at one end of the synchronizing plate, a first deflection arm is rotatably provided at one end of the synchronizing rod, the center of the first deflection arm is rotatably connected to the support frame, a second trigger arm is rotatably provided at one end of the first deflection arm, a deflection rod is rotatably provided at one end of the second trigger arm, a rotating seat is provided on the support frame, the deflection rod is rotatably provided on the rotating seat, and a trigger block is provided at one end of the deflection rod.
[0011] Preferably, one side of the feeding trough is inclined, and an arc-shaped channel is opened on one side of the feeding trough.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. A guide plate is installed on one side of the support plate to form a channel for cattle and sheep to enter the feeding area. A trigger plate is installed inside the guide plate. When cattle and sheep pass through, the trigger plate triggers the trigger component according to different weights to determine the weight of the cattle and sheep. The storage trough is used to store feed. The feed is quantitatively dispensed according to the weight of the cattle and sheep through the feeding component. An arc-shaped channel is provided on one side of the feeding trough to facilitate the feeding of cattle and sheep. At the same time, the inclined design of one side of the feeding trough helps the flow of feed. The support rail at the bottom of the support plate provides stable support and ensures the smooth operation of the entire system. Through the weight recognition and quantitative feeding system, the feed supply can be accurately controlled according to the weight of each cattle and sheep, avoiding waste and unnecessary overfeeding, improving the working stability and adaptability of the equipment, effectively improving the feeding efficiency of the farm, and reducing manual intervention and operating costs.
[0014] 2. Cattle and sheep enter the upper support plate via the trigger plate. The weight of the cattle and sheep exerts pressure on the trigger plate, causing the synchronization plate to descend along the axis of the guide rod. Simultaneously, the elastic force of the return spring, guided by the guide rod, allows the synchronization plate to descend slowly. The elastic force of the return spring is greater than the weight of the trigger plate, ensuring that the trigger plate remains in its initial position. This ensures that the trigger plate can respond flexibly according to the weight of the cattle and sheep. During the movement of the trigger plate, the connecting plate drives the sliding rod to slide within the sliding groove. When one end of the connecting plate contacts the contact plate, the elastic force of the buffer spring, guided by the guide rod, synchronously maintains the stability and accuracy of the trigger plate's movement. This also ensures that the triggering component can respond efficiently in actual use and can be flexibly adjusted according to the weight of different cattle and sheep. This helps improve the working efficiency of the equipment, extend its service life, and reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, it reduces human intervention and improves the automation and intelligence level of ranch management.
[0015] 3. As the trigger plate moves, the synchronizing plate drives the synchronizing rod to move synchronously, thereby causing the first deflection arm to deflect. During this process, the second trigger arm drives the deflection rod to rotate around the axis of the rotating seat, which in turn causes the trigger block to contact the moving rod. When the moving rod moves, the flipping plate that meshes with it rotates on the axis of the extension plate, thereby causing the release plate to separate from the storage trough. This allows the feed in the storage trough to fall into the feeding trough, thus achieving precise feed release, ensuring stable feed release, avoiding waste or uneven feeding, and automatically adjusting to meet the feeding needs of cattle and sheep of different weights, thereby reducing human intervention and improving the feeding efficiency and automation level of the ranch.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a cattle and sheep feeding device for ranches includes multiple sets of support frames 1. A support plate 2 is provided on one side of each support frame 1, and a guide plate 3 is provided on one side of the support plate 2. A trigger plate 4 is installed inside the guide plate 3. A storage trough 5 is provided at the top of each support frame 1, and a feeding trough 6 is provided at the bottom of each support frame 1. One side of the feeding trough 6 is inclined, and an arc-shaped channel is opened on one side of the feeding trough 6. Multiple sets of support rails 7 are provided at the bottom of the support plate 2, and a trigger assembly is provided on one side of the support plate 2. A feeding assembly is installed inside the storage trough 5. The trigger assembly is used to determine the weight of cattle and sheep; the feeding assembly is used to quantitatively feed cattle and sheep according to their weight.
[0027] A guide plate 3 is installed on one side of the support plate 2, forming a channel for cattle and sheep to enter the feeding area. A trigger plate 4 is installed inside the guide plate 3. When cattle and sheep pass through, the trigger plate 4 triggers the trigger component according to different weights to determine the weight of the cattle and sheep. The storage trough 5 is used to store feed. The feed is quantitatively dispensed according to the weight of the cattle and sheep through the feeding component. An arc-shaped channel is provided on one side of the feeding trough 6 to facilitate feeding. At the same time, the inclined design of one side of the feeding trough 6 helps the flow of feed. The support rail 7 at the bottom of the support plate 2 provides stable support to ensure the smooth operation of the entire system. Through the weight recognition and quantitative feeding system, the feed supply can be accurately controlled according to the weight of each cattle and sheep, avoiding waste and unnecessary overfeeding, improving the working stability and adaptability of the equipment, effectively improving the feeding efficiency of the farm, and reducing manual intervention and operating costs.
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the triggering assembly includes a guide rod 8 located at the bottom of the support rail 7. The guide rod 8 is telescopic. A synchronization plate 10 is located at the top of the guide rod 8. A return spring 9 is sleeved on the guide rod 8. One end of the return spring 9 is located at the bottom of the support rail 7, and the other end of the return spring 9 is located on one side of the synchronization plate 10. A trigger plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the top of the synchronization plate 10. The elastic force of the return spring 9 is greater than the weight of the trigger plate 4. A sliding groove 11 is opened in the guide plate 3. A sliding rod 13 is slidably mounted in the sliding groove 11. A connecting plate 12 is mounted on the sliding rod 13 and is located at the bottom of the trigger plate 4. A guide rod 14 is located on one side of the guide plate 3. The guide rod 14 is telescopic. A contact plate 16 is located at one end of the guide rod 14. A buffer spring 15 is sleeved on the guide rod 14. One end of the buffer spring 15 is located on the inner wall of the guide plate 3, and the other end of the buffer spring 15 is located on one side of the contact plate 16. The contact plate 16 is in contact with the bottom of the connecting plate 12.
[0029] Cattle and sheep enter the upper support plate 2 via the trigger plate 4. The weight of the cattle and sheep exerts pressure on the trigger plate 4, causing the synchronization plate 10 to descend along the axis of the guide rod 8. Simultaneously, the elastic force of the return spring 9, guided by the guide rod 8, causes the synchronization plate 10 to descend slowly. The elastic force of the return spring 9 is greater than the weight of the trigger plate 4, keeping the trigger plate 4 in its initial position. This ensures that the trigger plate 4 can respond flexibly according to the weight of the cattle and sheep. During the movement of the trigger plate 4, the sliding rod 13 can slide within the sliding groove 11 via the connecting plate 12. When one end of the connecting plate 12 contacts the contact plate 16, the elastic force of the buffer spring 15, guided by the guide rod 14, can synchronously maintain the stability and accuracy of the trigger plate 4's movement. This also ensures that the triggering component can respond efficiently in actual use and can be flexibly adjusted according to the weight of different cattle and sheep. This helps to improve the working efficiency of the equipment, extend its service life, and reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, it reduces human intervention and improves the automation and intelligence level of ranch management.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the feeding assembly includes a set of mounting cylinders 23 that are installed through the storage trough 5. A moving rod 24 is slidably installed inside the mounting cylinder 23. A limit plate 25 is provided on the top of the moving rod 24. A set of extension plates 26 are provided on the mounting cylinder 23. A flip plate 27 is rotatably installed inside the extension plate 26. The flip plate 27 is engaged with the moving rod 24. A release plate 28 is provided at one end of the flip plate 27. A passage groove adapted to the release plate 28 is opened on the storage trough 5. A synchronization rod 17 is fixedly installed at one end of the synchronization plate 10. A first deflection arm 18 is rotatably installed at one end of the synchronization rod 17. The center of the first deflection arm 18 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1. A second trigger arm 19 is rotatably installed at one end of the first deflection arm 18.

The deflection rod 20 is rotatably installed on the rotating seat 21. A trigger block 22 is provided at one end of the deflection rod 20.
[0031] As the trigger plate 4 moves, the synchronizing plate 10 drives the synchronizing rod 17 to move synchronously, thereby causing the first deflection arm 18 to deflect. During this process, the second trigger arm 19 drives the deflection rod 20 to rotate around the axis of the rotating seat 21, which in turn causes the trigger block 22 to contact the moving rod 24. When the moving rod 24 moves, the flipping plate 27 that meshes with it rotates on the axis of the extension plate 26, thereby causing the release plate 28 to separate from the storage trough 5, so that the feed in the storage trough 5 falls into the feeding trough 6, thereby achieving precise release of feed, ensuring stable release of feed, avoiding waste or uneven feeding, and automatically adjusting to meet the feeding needs of cattle and sheep of different weights, thereby reducing human intervention and improving the feeding efficiency and automation level of the ranch.
