Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, and in particular to a feeding system with a feed equalization function. Background Technology

[0002] Current poultry farming is characterized by large-scale operations, with multiple rows of cages arranged in poultry houses. Each row of cages has multiple layers, and each layer contains several independent cages. Feed troughs are located on one side of each cage, and a feeder moves along the path to deliver feed to these troughs. The feeder has multiple feed bins, with the top of each upper bin connected to the top of the next lower bin via a connecting pipe. Feeding only the top bin is sufficient to supply all the lower bins with feed. However, this feeding structure requires feed pipes on the upper bins to transfer feed down layer by layer. Feed only falls into the bottom bin after the upper bins are full. This results in uneven feed distribution, with the bottom bin potentially containing less feed than the upper bins, leading to uneven feed distribution across multiple bins and making it impossible to adjust the feed weight according to individual feeding needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding system with a uniform feeding function, which aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art where the feed line cannot uniformly supply feed to each feed box and cannot adjust the weight of feed supplied to the feed box according to feeding needs.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A feeding system with a uniform feeding function includes a feeder for feeding troughs in a breeding cage and a feed bin for feeding hoppers in the feeder. Multiple feed bins are spaced vertically. A screw conveyor is installed below the feed bin. The lower end of the feed bin is connected to the feed inlet of the screw conveyor. The discharge end of the screw conveyor is connected to a vertically arranged feeding pipe. One side of the feeding pipe is connected to multiple first branch pipes for feeding upper and middle layer feed bins and second branch pipes for feeding lower layer feed bins. Multiple feeding boxes are installed on the pipe sections. Each first branch pipe corresponds to a feeding box and is connected to a feeding box. The feeding box has a feeding port connected to the first branch pipe and a discharge port connected to the lower feeding pipe section. A closing component driven by a first drive mechanism is installed inside the feeding box. The closing component controls one of the feeding port and the discharge port to open and the other to close.

[0006] This invention controls the opening or closing of the feeding port of the corresponding layer through the first driving mechanism, thereby controlling the feed in the feeding pipe to fall into the corresponding feed box. By controlling the conveying time of the screw conveyor, the weight of feed put into each feed box is controlled, so as to achieve uniform feeding to each feed box and adjust the weight of feed supplied to the feed box according to the feeding needs.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes a feeding shaft rotatably mounted inside the feeding box. A first drive mechanism drives the feeding shaft to rotate. A first side plate and a second side plate capable of closing the feeding port are fixedly connected to the feeding shaft. A closing plate for closing the feeding port is also fixedly connected to the feeding shaft. By driving the feeding shaft to rotate through the first drive mechanism, the first side plate, the second side plate, and the closing plate on the feeding shaft are also rotated, thereby opening one of the feeding port and closing the other.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the feeding shaft, and the sealing plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. Fixing the sealing plate with the connecting rod facilitates the connection between the sealing plate and the feeding shaft.

[0009] Preferably, when the sealing plate closes the feeding port, the first side plate and the second side plate are in a vertical position. When the sealing plate closes the feeding port, the first side plate and the second side plate are in a vertical position, allowing the feed in the feeding pipe to fall through both sides of the first and second side plates into the next feeding box. Furthermore, the first and second side plates can impact the feed, preventing it from clumping.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the feeding pipe is provided with a feeding box, and the second branch pipe is connected to the feeding box. The feeding box is equipped with a feeding plate that is driven to rotate by a second drive mechanism. The feeding box is designed so that the feeding plate rotates and pushes the feed in the feeding box into the second branch pipe, preventing the feed from accumulating at the connection between the feeding pipe and the second branch pipe.

[0011] Preferably, both the first and second branch pipes include a downwardly sloping pipe and a vertical pipe connecting the sloping pipe. The upper end of the sloping pipe is connected to the feeding box or dispensing box, and the vertical pipe is located above the feed hopper. The sloping pipe allows the feed to slide down into the vertical pipe, and the vertical pipe allows the feed to fall into the feed hopper.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing plate is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped sealing plate fits snugly against the feeding port, completely sealing the feeding port.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting rod is connected to the middle of the sealing plate. Connecting the connecting rod to the middle of the sealing plate eliminates the need to connect connecting rods to both sides of the sealing plate, thus reducing the space occupied by the connecting rods at the material discharge port.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention uses a first driving mechanism to control the opening or closing of the corresponding layer's sealing components, thereby controlling the feed in the feeding pipe to fall into the corresponding feed bin. By controlling the conveying time of the screw conveyor, the weight of feed fed into each feed bin is controlled, achieving uniform feeding to each bin and adjusting the feed weight supplied to the bins according to feeding needs. The feeding box design allows the feeding plate to rotate, distributing the feed in the feeding box into the second branch pipe, preventing feed accumulation at the connection between the feeding pipe and the second branch pipe.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The orientations mentioned in this specification refer to the orientations of the feeding system with uniform feeding function of this utility model when it is working normally. They do not limit the orientations during storage and transportation, and only represent relative positional relationships, not absolute positional relationships.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a feeding system with a uniform feeding function includes a feeder 2 for feeding the feed trough 10 of the breeding cage 1 and a feed bin 3 for feeding the feeder 20 of the feeder 2. Multiple feed bins 20 are spaced vertically. The upper end of the feed bin 3 is connected to the outlet of the feed line 4. A screw conveyor 5 is located below the feed bin 3. The lower end of the feed bin 3 is connected to the feed inlet of the screw conveyor 5. The discharge end of the screw conveyor 5 is connected to a vertically arranged feeding pipe 6. One side of the feeding pipe 6 is connected to multiple feeders for feeding the upper and middle feed bins 20. The feeding pipe 6 has a first branch pipe 60 and a second branch pipe 61 for feeding the lower feed bin 20. Multiple feeding boxes 7 are installed on the pipe section of the feeding pipe 6. The first branch pipe 60 corresponds one-to-one with the feeding box 7 and is connected to the feeding box 7. The feeding box 7 has a feeding port 70 connecting to the first branch pipe 60 and a discharge port 71 connecting to the lower feed pipe section 6. A closing component driven by a first drive mechanism is installed inside the feeding box 7. The closing component controls the opening of one of the feeding port 70 and the discharge port 71, and the other closes. The feed line 4 is either a screw conveyor feed line 4 or a disc feed line 4. The feed line 4 feeds the feed bins 3 from left to right. After the leftmost feed bin 3 is full, its corresponding discharge port can no longer discharge, and the feed line 4 continues to feed the feed bins 3 on the right. The feed line 4, feed bins 3, and screw conveyor 5 are fixed to the support frame inside the enclosure. The feed line 4, feed bins 3, and screw conveyor 5 are located at the front end of the breeding cage 1. Feeder 2 is a traveling feeder 2 that feeds from front to back. After feeding the front end of the breeding cage 1, feeder 2 feeds the rear end.

[0024] In operation, the screw conveyor 5 transports feed from the hopper 3 into the feeding pipe 6. The upper first drive mechanism drives the sealing component to close the discharge port 71 and open the feeding port 70. The feed in the feeding pipe 6 enters the first branch pipe 60 through the feeding box 7. The feed in the first branch pipe 60 falls into the upper hopper 20. After the screw conveyor 5 has been in operation for the set time, the upper first drive mechanism drives the sealing component to close the feeding port 70 and open the discharge port 71. The middle first drive mechanism drives the sealing component to close the discharge port 71 and open the feeding port 70. The feed in the feeding pipe 6 enters the first branch pipe 60 through the feeding box 7. The feed in the first branch pipe 60 falls into the middle hopper 20. After the screw conveyor 5 has been in operation for the set time, the middle first drive mechanism drives the sealing component to close the feeding port 70 and open the discharge port 71. The feed in the feeding pipe 6 enters the second branch pipe 61 and falls into the lower hopper 20. This utility model controls the opening or closing of the feeding port 70 of the corresponding layer through the first driving mechanism, thereby controlling the feed in the feeding pipe 6 to fall into the corresponding feed box 20. By controlling the conveying time of the screw conveyor 5, the weight of feed put into each feed box 20 is controlled, so as to achieve uniform feeding to each feed box 20 and adjust the weight of feed supplied to the feed box 20 according to the feeding needs.

[0025] After the screw conveyor finishes conveying the feed, a portion of the feed will be temporarily stored between the feed inlet and outlet ends of the screw conveyor 5. Therefore, when conveying feed, it is not necessary to calculate the time error of conveying the feed from the feed inlet to the outlet end when the screw conveyor 5 first starts feeding. Moreover, this part of the conveying time is very short and the weight of the conveyed feed is very small, so it can be ignored.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the sealing assembly includes a feeding shaft 72 rotatably mounted within the feeding box 7. A first drive mechanism drives the feeding shaft 72 to rotate. A first side plate 74 and a second side plate 75, capable of closing the material discharge port 71, are fixedly connected to the feeding shaft 72. A sealing plate 76, which closes the material discharge port 70, is also fixedly connected to the feeding shaft 72. By driving the feeding shaft 72 to rotate through the first drive mechanism, the first side plate 74, the second side plate 75, and the sealing plate 76 on the feeding shaft 72 are rotated, thereby opening one of the material discharge port 71 and the material discharge port 70 and closing the other.

[0027] The first side plate 74 and the second side plate 75 are welded to the feeding shaft 72, and the first side plate 74 and the second side plate 75 are symmetrical about the feeding shaft 72. The first driving mechanism is a first motor 73, and the output end of the first motor 73 is connected to one end of the feeding shaft 72 through a coupling. The first motor 73 drives the feeding shaft 72 to rotate, which in turn drives the first side plate 74, the second side plate 75 and the closing plate 76 to rotate.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting rod 77 is fixedly connected to the feeding shaft 72, and a sealing plate 76 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 77. One end of the connecting rod 77 is welded to the feeding shaft 72, and the other end of the connecting rod 77 is welded to the sealing plate 76. Fixing the sealing plate 76 with the connecting rod 77 facilitates the connection between the sealing plate 76 and the feeding shaft 72.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, when the closing plate 76 closes the feeding port 70, the first side plate 74 and the second side plate 75 are in a vertical state. When the closing plate 76 closes the feeding port 70, the first side plate 74 and the second side plate 75 are in a vertical state, allowing the feed in the feeding pipe 6 to fall through both sides of the first side plate 74 and the second side plate 75 into the next feeding box 7. Furthermore, the first side plate 74 and the second side plate 75 can impact the feed, preventing it from clumping.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom end of the feeding pipe 6 is provided with a feeding box 8, and the second branch pipe 61 is connected to the feeding box 8. A feeding plate 80 driven to rotate by the second drive mechanism is installed on the feeding box 8. The feeding box 8 is configured so that the feeding plate 80 rotates and pushes the feed in the feeding box 8 into the second branch pipe 61, preventing the feed from accumulating at the connection between the feeding pipe 6 and the second branch pipe 61. When feeding the lower-level feed box 20, the second drive mechanism is in a continuously operating state, and the feeding plate 80 rotates continuously, pushing the feed in the feeding box 8 into the second branch pipe 61.

[0031] The feeding box 8 contains a feeding shaft 81 that is rotatably mounted inside. The feeding plate 80 is welded to the feeding shaft 81. The second drive mechanism is a second motor, and the output end of the second motor is connected to the feeding shaft 81 via a coupling. The second motor drives the feeding shaft 81 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding plate 80 to rotate.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, both the first branch pipe 60 and the second branch pipe 61 include a downwardly inclined pipe 62 and a vertical pipe 63 connecting the inclined pipe 62. The upper end of the inclined pipe 62 is connected to the feeding box 7 or the dispensing box 8, and the vertical pipe 63 is located above the feed hopper 20. When the feeding port 70 is closed, the inclination direction of the first side plate 74 and the second side plate 75 is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined pipe 62. The inclined pipe 62 allows the feed to slide down into the vertical pipe 63, and the vertical pipe 63 allows the feed to fall into the feed hopper 20.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the sealing plate 76 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped sealing plate 76 fits snugly against the feeding port 70, completely sealing the feeding port 70.

[0034] The connecting rod 77 is connected to the middle of the closing plate 76. Connecting the connecting rod 77 to the middle of the closing plate 76 eliminates the need to connect connecting rods 77 to both sides of the closing plate 76, thus reducing the space occupied by the connecting rod 77 at the material discharge port 71.

[0035] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
