Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chicken farming equipment, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for chicken farming. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the modern chicken farming industry, the scale of chicken farming continues to expand and the number of chickens is growing larger and larger. The traditional feeding mode that relies on manual feeding is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Automatic feeding devices have emerged to meet this need. In large-scale chicken farms, chicken houses are widely distributed and there are many feeding troughs. Manual feeding means that the feeders have to spend a lot of time running between the feed storage area and various feeding troughs, which consumes a lot of manpower and time. Automatic feeding devices can greatly liberate manpower, achieve efficient and fast feeding, and meet the needs of large flocks of chickens to eat on time.

[0003] Many existing automatic feeding devices for chickens use simple straight-blade mixing blades in their feed hoppers. When these blades mix the feed inside the hopper, they can only reach a localized area, making it difficult to fully agitate the feed at the edges and bottom of the hopper. As the feed remains stationary inside the hopper for extended periods, it is easily affected by humidity and temperature, causing it to clump together in the corners and at the bottom. This clumping not only hinders subsequent feeding but also blocks the discharge outlet, resulting in uneven feed distribution. Some feed troughs discharge too much feed while others discharge very little, severely impacting the balance of feeding for the flock. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic feeding device for chicken farming.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for chicken farming, including a feed trough, two I-beam rails symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top surface of the feed trough, a pair of wheel trolleys slidingly arranged on the two I-beam rails, an extension plate on one side of the pair of wheel trolleys, a storage battery fixedly connected to the extension plate, and a feed discharge cylinder on the top surface of the pair of wheel trolleys.

[0006] Preferably, the feeding cylinder has a clamping ring, and multiple supporting legs are provided at equal intervals around the clamping ring. The top surface of the feeding cylinder is provided with a mounting plate, and a drive motor is provided at the center of the top surface of the feeding cylinder on the mounting plate.

[0007] Preferably, a first arc-shaped cover plate is hinged to one side of the mounting plate, and a handle is provided on the top surface of the first arc-shaped cover plate. A second arc-shaped cover plate is fixedly installed on the other side of the mounting plate, and a flange feed pipe is provided on the top surface of the second arc-shaped cover plate.

[0008] Preferably, the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a rotating shaft located inside the discharge cylinder, a spiral ribbon stirring blade is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom center of the discharge cylinder, and a spiral blade is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft at the discharge pipe section.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the discharge cylinder is tapered, the end of the discharge pipe is fitted with a discharge inclined tube, the end of the discharge inclined tube is located inside the feed trough, and a fixing ring is fitted on the top surface of the discharge inclined tube at a location on the top surface of the wheel trolley, with the bottom end of the fixing ring fixedly connected to the top surface of the wheel trolley.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing ring is filled with rubber.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The cooperation between the feed trough and the I-beam rails on both sides of the top surface facilitates stable sliding of the wheel trolley, improving movement stability and enabling precise feed dispensing along the feed trough. Furthermore, the cooperation between the wheel trolley, extension plate, and battery facilitates continuous power supply to the device, improving endurance and enabling autonomous operation. The cooperation between the feed discharge cylinder, clamping ring, and support legs facilitates stable installation of the discharge cylinder, improving structural stability and enabling stable placement and conveying of feed. The cooperation between the mounting plate on the top surface of the discharge cylinder and the drive motor facilitates stirring power, improving stirring driving force and enabling the dispersing of feed and prevention of clumping. The cooperation between the arc-shaped cover plate hinged on one side of the mounting plate and the fixed arc-shaped cover plate on the other side facilitates opening and closing for feeding. The new feed cylinder improves operational convenience, facilitating easy feeding and maintenance. Combined with the drive motor, rotating shaft, and ribbon-type mixing blades, it facilitates all-around feed mixing, improving uniformity and resolving the issues of insufficient mixing and clumping found in existing devices. This enhances the stability and uniformity of feed output, ensuring balanced feed intake for the flock. The conical bottom of the feed cylinder, along with the matching discharge pipe and inclined discharge tube, ensures smooth and efficient feed delivery, achieving precise feed placement into the feed trough. Furthermore, the fixing ring and internal rubber filling on the inclined discharge tube stabilize the pipe, improving connection stability and preventing pipe shaking and leakage during discharge. Ultimately, this solves the problem of feed clumping caused by uneven mixing in straight-blade mixing devices, improving the reliability and practicality of the automatic feed dispensing device.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example: See Figure 1-4This utility model discloses an automatic feeding device for chickens, comprising a feed trough 1. Two I-beam rails 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top surface of the feed trough 1. A trolley 3 with wheels slides along the two I-beam rails 2. An extension plate is provided on one side of the trolley 3, and a battery 4 is fixedly connected to the extension plate. A feed discharge cylinder 5 is provided on the top surface of the trolley 3. The feed trough 1 serves as a receiving container for feed and is the endpoint of the entire feeding process. The I-beam rails 2 on both sides provide a stable track for the trolley 3, allowing it to move smoothly. This allows the feed cylinder 5 to precisely position and discharge feed along the feeding trough, avoiding feed position deviation and ensuring that every chicken receives feed evenly. The extension plate, equipped with a battery 4, provides power to the entire device at any time, freeing it from the constraints of fixed wiring and allowing for unrestricted movement and operation, thus enhancing the device's autonomy. The feed cylinder 5 has a clamping ring, with multiple support legs 6 evenly spaced around its perimeter. A mounting plate is located on the top surface of the feed cylinder 5, and a drive motor 7 is positioned at the center of the top surface of the mounting plate. The hoop and support leg 6 work together to firmly support the feed cylinder 5 from all sides, strengthening the installation stability of the feed cylinder 5 and preventing it from shaking or tilting during operation. This ensures a smooth feed delivery process and reduces the chance of failure. The mounting plate is located at the top center of the feed cylinder 5, and the drive motor 7 on it can precisely exert force to deliver strong and stable power for subsequent mixing actions, ensuring smooth mixing and avoiding interruption of feed mixing due to insufficient power. A first arc-shaped cover plate 8 is hinged to one side of the mounting plate, and a handle is provided on the top surface of the first arc-shaped cover plate 8. A second arc-shaped cover plate is fixedly installed on the other side of the mounting plate, and a flange feed pipe 9 is opened on the top surface of the second arc-shaped cover plate. The hinged first arc-shaped cover plate 8 with the handle is easy to open and close, making it convenient for the feeder to quickly open the feed cylinder 5 to add feed, or to check the internal condition during equipment failure or routine maintenance. The second arc-shaped cover plate and flange feed pipe 9 fixed on the other side provide a dedicated channel for feeding, which not only stabilizes feeding but also prevents feed from spilling during feeding, maintaining the cleanliness of the work area.

[0020] In this invention, the output shaft of the drive motor 7 is connected to a rotating shaft 10 located inside the feeding cylinder 5. A spiral-ribbon stirring blade 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10. A discharge pipe is located at the bottom center of the feeding cylinder 5. A spiral blade is located at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 10 near the discharge pipe. The drive motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, causing the spiral-ribbon stirring blade 11 to fully agitate the feed inside the feeding cylinder 5. This spiral design can penetrate deep into every corner of the cylinder, thoroughly breaking up clumps and accumulations of feed, ensuring uniform feed texture. The spiral blade at the discharge pipe uses rotational force to orderly push the feed outwards, making the discharge more stable and continuous, avoiding blockages or intermittent discharge. The bottom end of the feeding cylinder 5 is tapered, and a discharge inclined pipe is sleeved at the end of the discharge pipe. The end of the discharge inclined pipe is located inside the feed trough 1. A fixing ring 12 is fitted on the top surface of the wheel trolley 3. The bottom end of the fixing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the wheel trolley 3. The tapered design of the feed discharge cylinder 5 can guide the feed to naturally converge into the discharge pipe, speed up the discharge speed, and reduce residue. The discharge inclined pipe is precisely connected to the feed trough 1, allowing the feed to fall smoothly into the feed trough and avoid splashing. The fixing ring 12 firmly fixes the discharge inclined pipe to the wheel trolley 3. Even if the trolley moves or is slightly bumped, the discharge inclined pipe will not shift, maintaining the accuracy of the discharge point. The fixing ring 12 is filled with rubber. The rubber filling the fixing ring 12 can not only further strengthen the connection between the discharge inclined pipe and the fixing ring 12, but also buffer the impact force caused by vibration, prevent the pipe connection from loosening due to long-term vibration, eliminate the leakage phenomenon, and extend the service life of the entire discharge device.

[0021] Working principle: In use of this utility model, feed is first poured into the feeding cylinder 5 through the flange feed pipe 9 on the second arc-shaped cover plate on one side of the mounting plate. When it is necessary to discharge feed from the feeding trough 1, the wheel trolley 3 slides along the I-beam rails 2 on both sides of the top surface of the feeding trough 1. The I-beam rails 2 provide a stable track for the wheel trolley 3, enabling it to accurately position itself at various locations in the feeding trough 1, ensuring comprehensive and uniform discharge coverage. The drive motor 7 on the mounting plate at the top of the feeding cylinder 5 starts, driving the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. The spiral mixing blades 11 on the feed drum 5 rotate and agitate the feed in all directions, breaking up any clumps and ensuring a uniform feed texture. At the same time, the spiral blades at the discharge pipe at the bottom of the feed drum 5 rotate with the shaft 10, pushing the evenly mixed feed into the sleeved discharge inclined pipe. The fixing ring 12 is filled with rubber for cushioning and reinforcement, and is firmly fixed to the top surface of the wheel trolley 3. Its end extends into the feed trough 1, and the feed falls precisely into the feed trough 1 along the discharge inclined pipe for the chickens to eat.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
