Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming equipment technology, and in particular to a feed equalization device for caged chickens. Background Technology

[0002] In caged chicken farming, feed is typically delivered to the troughs using a feeder. After a period of feeding, the amount of feed near the cage decreases, causing competition among the chickens and reducing feeding efficiency. Therefore, farmers use feed levelers to push the feed closer to the cage. Existing feed levelers consist of a leveling box with open ends and bottom. A guide plate is fixed to the outlet end, and a rope is connected to the inlet end. Using these levelers requires farmers to drag the box from one end of the trough to the other by hand, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in ensuring the box's sidewall remains flush with the trough, leading to feed residue. Furthermore, since only one guide plate is fixed, the existing feed leveler cannot adjust the feed delivery position or achieve bidirectional feeding.

[0003] Therefore, a feed equalization device for caged chickens is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a feeding trough equalization device for caged chickens, which is equipped with an adaptive drive wheel and two driven wheels, realizing the automatic movement of the equalization box in the feeding trough, improving the equalization efficiency, and also making the device applicable to feeding troughs of different widths.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A feed equalization device for caged chickens includes a feed equalization box. The feed equalization box includes a horizontally arranged top plate. The two sides of the top plate are bent to form two symmetrically arranged side plates. A vertically arranged guide plate is hinged to each end of one of the side plates. The bottoms of the two guide plates and the two side plates are on the same horizontal plane. A locking component is provided between each guide plate and the top plate. Two limiting blocks are fixedly installed on the top plate. A horizontally arranged guide post is fixedly installed between the two limiting blocks. The guide post extends along the length of the feed equalization box. Two sliding sleeves are slidably installed on the guide post. A reset element is provided between each sliding sleeve and the adjacent limiting block. A first mounting plate and a second mounting plate are respectively provided on both sides of the guide post. A connecting plate is hinged between the first mounting plate and the two sliding sleeves, and between the second mounting plate and the two sliding sleeves. A driving wheel is rotatably installed on the first mounting plate, and two driven wheels are rotatably installed on the second mounting plate.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a through groove is provided at each end of the top plate, and both through grooves extend along the width direction of the material equalization box. Each locking component includes a connecting rod and a bolt. The connecting rod is disposed above the top plate and the corresponding guide plate. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the corresponding guide plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is provided with a through hole. The bolt's shank passes through the corresponding through groove and the corresponding through hole from bottom to top and is threaded with a nut.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, each of the reset elements includes a compression spring, which is sleeved on the guide post, and the two ends of the compression spring abut against the corresponding sliding sleeve and the corresponding limiting block, respectively.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a drive motor is fixedly mounted on the first mounting plate, and the motor shaft of the drive motor is connected to the transmission shaft of the drive wheel.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a vertically arranged push plate is fixedly installed on the top of each sliding sleeve.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] Since the feed equalization device for caged chickens includes a feed equalization box and two guide plates, when using this device, first push the two sliding sleeves towards both ends of the guide column, so that the driving wheel and the two driven wheels move closer to the guide column, allowing the device to be placed in the feed trough. Release the two sliding sleeves, and under the action of the reset element, the driving wheel and the two driven wheels automatically abut against the inner side of the two side walls of the feed trough. Adjust and lock the position of the two guide plates. Driven by the driving wheel, the feed equalization box moves from one end of the feed trough to the other end of the feed trough, and the two guide plates push the feed in the feed trough to one side of the breeding cage, making it easier for the chickens to eat.

[0013] In this invention, a drive wheel and two driven wheels are provided, which realizes the automatic movement of the feeding box in the feeding trough, improving the feeding efficiency. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the connecting rod, the reset element, the guide column and the sliding sleeve, the distance between the drive wheel and the two driven wheels can be adaptively adjusted, making this device suitable for feeding troughs of different widths.

[0014] Because existing feeders only have one guide plate and are fixedly connected, after the existing feeder has finished feeding, if you want to feed again, you need to remove the existing feeder from the feed trough, return it to the beginning of the feed trough, and drag it from the beginning of the feed trough to the other end. This requires the farmer to walk back and forth many times. In this utility model, two guide plates are provided and are hinged. Through the locking component, the position of the two guide plates can be adjusted so that the device can feed in both directions.

[0015] This invention uses a compression spring to keep the driving wheel and two driven wheels abutting against the side wall of the feeding trough. At the same time, the locking component can lock the two guide plates after the position is adjusted, thereby ensuring that the free end of the guide plate in the downstream direction of movement always abuts against the side wall of the feeding trough, thus avoiding feed residue.

[0023] like Figures 1-4As shown, the feeding device for caged chickens includes a feeding box 1. The feeding box 1 includes a horizontally arranged top plate 2. The two sides of the top plate 2 are bent to form two symmetrically arranged side plates 3. Each end of one side plate 3 is hinged to a vertically arranged guide plate 4. The bottoms of the two guide plates 4 and the two side plates 3 are on the same horizontal plane. A locking component is provided between each guide plate 4 and the top plate 2. Two limit blocks 5 are fixedly installed on the top plate 2. A horizontally arranged guide post 6 is fixedly installed between the two limit blocks 5. The guide post 6 extends along the length of the feeding box 1. Two sliding sleeves 7 are slidably installed on the guide post 6. A reset element is provided between each sliding sleeve 7 and the adjacent limit block 5. A first mounting plate 8 and a second mounting plate 9 are respectively arranged on both sides of the guide post 6. A connecting plate 10 is hinged between the first mounting plate 8 and the two sliding sleeves 7, and between the second mounting plate 9 and the two sliding sleeves 7. A drive wheel 11 is rotatably installed on the first mounting plate 8, and two driven wheels 12 are rotatably installed on the second mounting plate 9.

[0024] The top plate 2 has a through groove 13 at each end, and both through grooves 13 extend along the width of the material equalization box 1. Each locking component includes a connecting rod 14 and a bolt 15. The connecting rod 14 is located above the top plate 2 and the corresponding guide plate 4. One end of the connecting rod 14 is hinged to the corresponding guide plate 4, and the other end of the connecting rod 14 is provided with a through hole 22. The bolt 15 passes through the corresponding through groove 13 and the corresponding through hole 22 from bottom to top and is threaded with a nut 16.

[0025] In addition, each reset element includes a compression spring 17, which is sleeved on the guide post 6, and the two ends of the compression spring 17 abut against the corresponding sliding sleeve 7 and the corresponding limiting block 5, respectively.

[0026] Furthermore, a drive motor 18 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting plate 8, and the motor shaft of the drive motor 18 is connected to the transmission shaft of the drive wheel 11.

[0027] Secondly, a vertically arranged push plate 19 is fixedly installed on the top of each sliding sleeve 7. In this utility model, by pushing the push plate 19, the corresponding sliding sleeve 7 can slide on the guide post 6.

[0028] The side wall of the feed trough closest to the breeding cage is called the inner side wall 20, and the side wall of the feed trough furthest from the breeding cage is called the outer side wall 21.

[0029] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0030] First, push the two sliding sleeves 7 towards the two ends of the guide post 6 respectively. Driven by the connecting plate 10, the driving wheel 11 and the two driven wheels 12 move towards the guide post 6.

Under the action of the compression spring 17, the driving wheel 11 and the two driven wheels 12 abut against the side wall of the feeding trough respectively.

[0031] The second step is to rotate the guide plate 4 located upstream in the direction of movement. The free end of the guide plate 4 is the outer edge of the feed after it has been evenly distributed. Then, rotate the corresponding nut 16 to lock the corresponding connecting rod 14 and the guide plate 4.

[0032] Third, rotate the guide plate 4 located downstream in the direction of movement so that the free end of the guide plate 4 is against the outer wall 21, and rotate the corresponding nut 16 to lock the corresponding connecting rod 14 and guide plate 4.

[0033] In the fourth step, the drive wheel 11 rotates, and the feed equalization box 1 moves from one end of the feed trough to the other end. Under the action of the two guide plates 4 and the side plate 3, the feed in the feed trough is pushed to the side closer to the breeding cage, thus completing one feed equalization operation.

[0034] In summary, this utility model features an adaptive driving wheel and two driven wheels, enabling the feeding box to move automatically within the feeding trough, improving feeding efficiency, and making the device suitable for feeding troughs of different widths.
