Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock feeding device technology, and in particular to a livestock feeding line based on Internet of Things control. Background Technology
[0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connecting any object to a network through information sensing devices, allowing objects to exchange and communicate information through information transmission media in order to achieve functions such as intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, and monitoring.
[0003] With the development of technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is gradually being applied to livestock farming to enable remote control of feeding, reduce contact between staff and livestock, and thus reduce the chances of livestock getting sick.
[0004] When feeding livestock through the Internet of Things, a combination of a conveying pump and a conveying pipe is commonly used. The feed is transported to the livestock's trough through the conveying pipe. However, a problem often arises where some feed remains in the conveying pipe. This feed often becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. When feed is delivered again, some of the previously leftover feed will remain in the trough. This feed carries a large number of bacteria, which can easily cause digestive system diseases in livestock when they consume it, which is detrimental to livestock farming.
[0005] Therefore, an IoT-based livestock feeding line is provided to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose a livestock feeding line based on Internet of Things control.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] The livestock feeding line controlled by the Internet of Things includes a feed tower and a feed trough. A conveying pump is connected to the discharge end of the feed tower, and a conveying pipe is connected to the discharge end of the conveying pump. The line also includes:

[0011] Multiple sets of guide plates are fixedly connected in an inclined manner inside the sliding shell. The multiple sets of guide plates are equally spaced, and the uppermost guide plate is located below the feed pipe. The guide plates are used to assist in guiding the feed, allowing the feed to fall in a scattered manner and land on another set of guide plates, which can slow down the falling speed of the feed.
[0012] Multiple sets of atomizing nozzles are installed inside the sliding housing. The atomizing nozzles are used to spray atomized chlorine water and contact the feed falling from the guide plate.
[0013] To facilitate the mixing of feed, preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the storage tank and fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Multiple sets of stirring blades are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.
[0014] In order to randomly change the feed falling on the guide plate by moving the sliding shell up and down, increase the contact between the feed and the atomized chlorine water, and at the same time promote the falling of some feed remaining on the guide plate, preferably, the end of the rotating shaft away from the motor is provided with a reciprocating thread, and a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the reciprocating thread, and the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the sliding shell.
[0015] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the sliding shell.
[0016] Preferably, a liquid storage tank is connected to the storage tank, a water pump is installed inside the liquid storage tank, a connecting pipe is connected to the outlet end of the water pump, and the connecting pipe is connected to the atomizing nozzle.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] 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.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] Reference Figure 1-6The livestock feeding line based on IoT control includes a feed tower 101, a feed trough 104, a conveying pump 102 connected to the discharge end of the feed tower 101, and a conveying pipe 103 connected to the discharge end of the conveying pump 102. It also includes a storage tank 2, with an inlet pipe 201 and an outlet pipe 202 connected to its inlet and outlet ends respectively. The inlet pipe 201 is connected to the conveying pipe 103, and the outlet end of the outlet pipe 202 is located above the feed trough 104. A sliding shell 3 is slidably connected inside the storage tank 2. Multiple sets of guide plates 301 are fixedly connected in an inclined manner inside the sliding shell 3, with the guide plates 301 evenly spaced, and the uppermost guide plate 301 having its high end below the inlet pipe 201. The guide plate 301 is used to guide the feed in an auxiliary manner, allowing the feed to fall in a scattered state onto the guide plate 301 below, which can slow down the falling speed of the feed. Multiple sets of atomizing nozzles 302 are installed in the sliding shell 3. The atomizing nozzles 302 are used to spray atomized chlorine water and contact the feed falling from the guide plate 301. A motor 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 2. A rotating shaft 204 is rotatably connected to the output end of the motor 203 inside the storage tank 2. Multiple sets of stirring blades 205 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 204. A liquid storage tank 4 is connected to the storage tank 2. A water pump is installed in the liquid storage tank 4. A connecting pipe is connected to the outlet end of the water pump and the connecting pipe is connected to the atomizing nozzles 302.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide plate 301 is an arc-shaped plate with the lower end facing down. If there is feed at the higher end of the guide plate 301, the feed will move along the surface of the arc-shaped plate until it falls through the lowest end. This slows down the falling speed and increases the contact time with the atomized chlorine water. At the same time, when it falls again, it comes into contact with the atomized chlorine water again for comprehensive sterilization and disinfection.
[0031] To facilitate remote control via the Internet of Things (IoT), a gateway with remote control functionality needs to be installed in the livestock farm. The gateway sends commands to the signal transmission module, and electronic valves and flow meters are installed in the feed inlet pipe 201 and the feed outlet pipe 202 to record the amount of feed entering the storage tank 2. At this point, the gateway can be used to remotely control the opening and closing of the conveying pump 102, the motor 203, and the water pump in the storage tank 4, thereby achieving remote control via the IoT.
[0032] It is important to note that the liquid in storage tank 4 should be feed-specific chlorine water, which can be a diluted chlorine solution. However, the concentration of chlorine disinfection needs to be carefully controlled, as excessively high concentrations may harm the feed. Since there is relatively little feed remaining in the feed delivery pipe 103, it is not necessary to spray chlorine water continuously during actual use. Just spray for a short period of time to disinfect the feed that enters initially. The chlorine will then dissipate naturally, reducing the possibility of chlorine water affecting the livestock's digestive system.
[0033] During use, operators can remotely start the conveying pump 102 and open the electronic valve in the feed pipe 201, recording the amount of feed flowing in via a flow meter. The material in the feed tower 101 then enters the numerous storage tanks 2 through the feed pipe 201. At this point, the motor 203 and the water pump in the liquid storage tank 4 can be started. The stirring blades 205 rotate, and the atomizing nozzles 302 continuously spray atomized chlorine water. Due to the guide plate 301, the feed falling through the feed pipe 201 flows on the guide plate 301, eventually falling through the lower end of the guide plate 301 to the next guide plate 301 for further dropping. At this time, if... Figure 3 As shown, the atomizing nozzle 302 is located between the two sets of guide plates 301. At this time, the falling feed will come into contact with the atomized chlorine water sprayed by the atomizing nozzle 302, and the feed will come into contact with the atomized chlorine water. The atomized chlorine water will completely coat the feed, thereby achieving sterilization. Finally, the feed will fall into the bottom of the storage tank 2 and be evenly stirred under the action of the stirring blade 205 to disperse the chlorine water, reduce the irritating gas brought by the chlorine water in the feed, and improve the dissipation speed of chlorine.
[0034] It should be noted that there is no need to spray chlorine water continuously. Just spray for a short period of time to disinfect the feed that enters initially. At this time, the water pump in the storage tank 4 will be turned off. Finally, when the flow meter indicates that the storage tank 2 has stored an appropriate amount of feed, the electronic valve in the feed pipe 201 of the storage tank 2 will be closed, and the feed in the conveying pipe 103 will not be able to enter.
[0035] Subsequently, once all the feed in the storage tanks 2 has reached the appropriate standard, the feed tower 101 and the conveying pump 102 are shut off, and finally the electronic valve in the discharge pipe 202 is opened, allowing the sterilized feed to fall vertically into the feed trough 104 below through the discharge pipe 202.
[0036] Specifically, motor 203 is a DC brushless servo motor of model QDTG62-24(36 / 48), delivery pump 102 can be a delivery pump of model LC50 / 0.6, water pump can be an ISG / IHG type vertical pipeline centrifugal pump, flow meter can be an HBLWGY flow meter, gateway is a gateway of model LG1301-PF, and signal transmission module can be a signal transmission module of model SYN5610.
[0037] Example 2:
[0038] Reference Figure 1-5The livestock feeding line based on Internet of Things control is basically the same as in Example 1, but with a further feature: a reciprocating thread is provided on the end of the rotating shaft 204 away from the motor 203, a threaded sleeve 206 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating thread, the threaded sleeve 206 is fixedly connected to the sliding shell 3, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 206, the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the sliding shell 3, and a protective sleeve 207 is fitted onto the reciprocating thread.
[0039] By setting the reciprocating thread, the sliding shell 3 can move up and down stably during actual use. This up and down movement will cause some feed adhering to the guide plate 301 to slide off, reducing residue. At the same time, the trajectory of the feed falling through the guide plate 301 will also change, which can increase the contact area between the feed and the atomized chlorine water to a certain extent.
[0040] This invention, through the arrangement of multiple sets of guide plates 301, allows the feed to fall in a scattered manner when it lands on the uppermost guide plate 301, landing on another set of guide plates 301. This slows down the falling speed of the feed, allowing the feed containing a large number of bacteria to fully contact the atomized chlorine water, reducing the number of bacteria carried in the feed, reducing the occurrence of digestive system diseases in livestock, and facilitating its use in livestock feeding.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. 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 inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
