[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the production process that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising to convert plant energy from pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. It is a crucial link in the exchange of materials between humans and nature. Animal husbandry is an important component of agriculture, ranking alongside crop farming as one of the two pillars of agricultural production. Animal husbandry science is a comprehensive discipline that studies livestock breeding, reproduction, feeding, management, disease prevention and control, as well as grassland construction, livestock product processing, and livestock management.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic quantitative drug dispensing device: an automatic quantitative drug dispensing device includes a mounting plate 1, a stepper motor 2 is mounted on the top of the side wall of the mounting plate 1, a piston cylinder 3 is mounted on the output end of the stepper motor 2, a discharge pipe 4 is mounted on the bottom of the piston cylinder 3, and a solenoid valve 5 is mounted on the bottom of the discharge pipe 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, a stepper motor 2 and a piston cylinder 3 are provided. The piston cylinder 3 contains a piston, and the stepper motor 2 drives the piston to reciprocate. The volume of the piston cylinder 3 is pre-designed. By controlling the pushing stroke of the piston driven by the stepper motor 5, the injection amount of the medicine can be precisely controlled, and the automatic quantitative dosing of medicine can be easily controlled. A discharge pipe 4 is provided at the bottom of the piston cylinder 3 to facilitate material discharge. The discharge switch at the bottom of the discharge pipe 4 is controlled by a solenoid valve 5.

[0027] Furthermore, a feed valve 6 is installed on the bottom side wall of the piston cylinder 3, and a feed funnel 7 is installed at the input end of the feed valve 6. The input end of the feed valve 6 is connected to the interior of the piston cylinder 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, a feed valve 6 is installed at the bottom of the piston cylinder 3. The feed valve 6 adds medicine to the piston cylinder 3 by switching on and off. A feed funnel 7 is connected to the output end of the feed valve 6. The operator adds the prepared medicine to the feed funnel 7. The medicine in the feed funnel 7 installed at the input end can be injected into the piston cylinder 3 by switching on and off the feed valve 6, which facilitates the replenishment of medicine to the piston cylinder 3.

[0029] Typically, a capacity observation window 8 is provided on the side wall of the piston cylinder 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, by installing a capacity observation window 8 on the piston cylinder 3, the operator can conveniently observe the capacity of the medicine in the piston cylinder 3 through the capacity observation window 8, so as to replenish the medicine in the piston cylinder 3 in a timely manner.

[0031] Specifically, a nozzle 9 is installed on the solenoid valve 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, a nozzle 9 is installed on the solenoid valve 5 to facilitate opening and closing of the solenoid valve 5. The medicine is then injected into the feeding trough 11 directly below through the nozzle 9, mixing with the food in the feeding trough 11, which facilitates feeding and medication for livestock.

[0033] In addition, a support plate 10 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 1, and a feeding trough 11 is provided on the support plate 10 directly below the solenoid valve 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, by installing a support plate 10 at the bottom of the mounting plate 1, and placing a feeding trough 11 on the support plate 10, the feeding trough 11 is located directly below the nozzle 9 of the solenoid valve 5, which facilitates the nozzle 9 to put the medicine into the feeding trough 11 and mix it with the food in the feeding trough 11, making it easier for livestock to eat and be given medicine.

[0035] In addition, a weighing sensor 12 is installed on the support plate 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, a weighing sensor 12 is provided on the support plate 10. The weighing sensor 12 is a common electronic scale, which is well known to those skilled in the art. The structure will not be described in detail here. The weighing sensor 12 can weigh the livestock that is eating, which is convenient for collecting the weight data of the livestock. It is convenient to cooperate with the drug delivery mechanism above to administer drugs that are appropriate for the weight of the livestock.

[0037] It should be noted that a PLC controller 13 is installed on mounting plate 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, a PLC controller 13 is installed on the mounting plate 1. The stepper motor 2, solenoid valve 5, feed valve 6 and weighing sensor 12 in the device are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 13. The PLC controller 13 controls the operation of the electrical components in the device to ensure the normal operation of the device.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: After the utility model is installed, it is connected to an external power source to supply power to the equipment and ensure normal operation. When livestock eat, they enter the weighing sensor 12, which weighs the livestock. The weight data of the livestock is collected and transmitted to the PLC controller 13. The PLC controller 13 controls the opening of the solenoid valve 5 and drives the stepper motor 2 to push the piston, quantitatively dispensing the medicine dosage that is appropriate for the volume of the livestock. The medicine is injected into the bottom feed trough 11 through the nozzle 9, realizing quantitative medicine dispensing. When the amount of medicine in the piston cylinder 3 is low, the operator adds medicine to the feeding funnel 7 by opening the feeding valve 6 and driving the stepper motor 5 under negative pressure to suck the medicine in the feeding funnel 7 into the piston cylinder 3, which facilitates subsequent medicine dispensing. The above completes the usage process of an automatic quantitative medicine dispensing device.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
