Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic quantitative feed feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of all domesticated animals. In a narrower sense, feed mainly refers to the food of animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. Feed includes more than ten kinds of feed ingredients such as soybeans, soybean meal, corn, fish meal, amino acids, miscellaneous meals, whey powder, oils, meat and bone meal, grains, and feed additives. In terms of composition, generally only plant-based feeds are called feed, which include grass, various grains, tubers, roots, etc.

[0003] In the current technology, animals need to be fed during the feeding process. Currently, the feed is usually fed manually, with a large amount of feed put into the feed trough at once. This method of feeding small amounts frequently can easily cause animals to overeat, affecting their normal growth. Moreover, when there is leftover feed in the feed trough, it is easy for it to become moldy, which may lead to illness or even death of the animals. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in the existing technology, when feeding animals, it is necessary to feed them. Currently, feeding is usually done manually, with a large amount of feed being put into the feed trough all at once. This method of feeding small amounts frequently can easily lead to animals overeating, affecting their normal growth. Furthermore, when there is leftover feed accumulating in the feed trough, it is easy for it to become moldy, which may lead to illness or even death of the animals.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic quantitative feed feeding device, comprising: a storage tank, and further comprising:

[0006] Two fixed plates are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the storage hopper. A metering hopper is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the two fixed plates near the bottom. An inclined plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate near the top. An inclined groove is opened on one side of the inclined plate. A movable rod is slidably connected inside the two inclined grooves. Two movable plates are symmetrically rotatably connected to the outer surface of the movable rod. A U-shaped block is fixedly connected to the side of the metering hopper near the top. A round rod is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two arms of the U-shaped block. The movable plates are rotatably connected to the round rod. A gravity ball is suspended at the center of the outer surface of the movable rod by a pull rope.

[0007] Preferably, two mounting plates are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the storage hopper. A lead screw is rotatably connected to one side of the two mounting plates. A movable plate is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw. The movable plate is fixedly connected to the storage hopper. A guide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the two mounting plates away from the lead screw. The movable plate is slidably connected to the guide rod. A second motor is fixedly connected to one side of one of the mounting plates. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage bin, and rotating blades are spirally fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the storage bin, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting strip is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft near the motor, and two stirring rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting strip.

[0010] Preferably, a second connecting strip is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stirring rod, and the second connecting strip is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the storage hopper is provided with a feed inlet, and the bottom of the storage hopper is fixedly connected with a discharge pipe, which is connected to the storage hopper.

[0012] Preferably, a baffle is slidably connected to one side of the discharge pipe near the bottom, an L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe, the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate, and a camera is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the storage hopper near the bottom.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a controller to activate an electric telescopic rod, causing the baffle to move away from the discharge pipe position. This allows the feed inside the storage hopper to fall downwards through the discharge pipe. When the feed in the metering hopper has a certain weight, it tilts downwards, applying a pulling force to the movable rod, causing it to slide upwards along the inside of the inclined groove, discharging the feed collected in the metering hopper into the lower feed trough. When the feed in the metering hopper is empty, the gravity ball causes the movable rod to slide downwards along the inclined groove, applying a pulling force to the metering hopper, causing it to rotate in the opposite direction and return to its initial position. This process repeats until the rotating blade detects that the appropriate amount of feed has been added to the lower feed trough. Then, the controller activates the electric telescopic rod to retract, and with the cooperation of the L-shaped plate, it causes the baffle to insert into the discharge pipe, sealing the feed. This ensures that an appropriate amount of feed is added to the feed trough, avoiding excessive feed addition and waste. This promotes scientific animal feeding, prevents feed accumulation and mold growth, and thus prevents animal illness or even death.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the controller starts the motor, which drives the output shaft to rotate the rotating shaft and the rotating blades. The synchronous rotation of the rotating blades can transport the feed from the bottom to the top and drop it from the top to the sides. The rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the connecting strip one, the stirring rod and the connecting strip two to rotate, thus stirring the feed. This can prevent the moisture contained in the feed from accumulating at the bottom of the storage tank when the feed is left to stand for a long time, so that the upper layer of feed is drier and the lower layer of feed is wetter, which affects the overall quality of the feed.

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic quantitative feed feeding device, including: a storage tank 1, and two fixed plates 3, symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1. A quantitative feed hopper 301 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the two fixed plates 3 near the bottom. An inclined plate 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate 3 near the top. An inclined groove 303 is opened on one side of the inclined plate 302. A movable rod 304 is slidably connected inside the two inclined grooves 303. Two movable plates 308 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the outer surface of the movable rod 304. A U-shaped block 306 is fixedly connected to the side of the quantitative feed hopper 301 near the top. A round rod 307 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two arms of the U-shaped block 306. The movable plates 308 are rotatably connected to the round rod 307. A gravity ball 305 is suspended at the center of the outer surface of the movable rod 304 by a pull rope.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4As shown, two mounting plates 2 are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the storage bin 1. A lead screw 201 is rotatably connected to one side of the two mounting plates 2. A movable plate 204 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 201. The movable plate 204 is fixedly connected to the storage bin 1. A guide rod 202 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two mounting plates 2 away from the lead screw 201. The movable plate 204 is slidably connected to the guide rod 202. A motor 203 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the mounting plates 2. The output end of the motor 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 201. The motor 203 is started by the controller, so that its output shaft drives the lead screw 201 to rotate. Then, under the action of the threaded engagement between the lead screw 201 and the movable plate 204, and with the guidance of the guide rod 202, the movable plate 204 can move along the outer surface of the lead screw 201.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a rotating shaft 102 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the inner wall of the storage tank 1. A rotating blade 104 is spirally fixed to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 102. A motor 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1. The output end of the motor 103 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 102. The motor 103 is started by controlling the controller, so that its output shaft drives the rotating shaft 102 and the rotating blade 104 to rotate. The synchronous rotation of the rotating blade 104 can transport the feed from the bottom to the top and drop it from the height to the surroundings.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a connecting strip 105 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 102 near the motor 103. Two stirring rods 106 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting strip 105. With the above arrangement, when the rotating shaft 102 rotates, it can drive the connecting strip 105 and the stirring rods 106 to rotate, thereby stirring the feed.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a connecting strip 2 107 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stirring rod 106. The connecting strip 2 107 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 102. The connection strip 2 107 improves the stability of the rotation of the stirring rod 106.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the top of the storage tank 1 is provided with a feed inlet 101, and the bottom of the storage tank 1 is fixedly connected with a discharge pipe 108. The discharge pipe 108 is connected to the storage tank 1. The feed inlet 101 facilitates material discharge.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4As shown, a baffle 109 is slidably connected to one side of the discharge pipe 108 near the bottom. An L-shaped plate 111 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 109. An electric telescopic rod 110 is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe 108. The electric telescopic rod 110 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 111. A camera 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the storage bin 1 near the bottom. The electric telescopic rod 110 is activated by the controller to extend and move the L-shaped plate 111 to one side, which in turn moves the baffle 109 to one side, causing the baffle 109 to move away from the position of the discharge pipe 108. This allows the feed inside the storage bin 1 to fall down through the discharge pipe 108. The camera 4 allows for easy monitoring of the feed in the feed trough below.

[0031] Working Principle: In use, this device is fixedly installed above the livestock feed trough with the help of the mounting plate 2. Feed is added into the storage bin 1 through the feed inlet 101. The controller then starts the motor 103, causing its output shaft to drive the rotating shaft 102 and the rotating blades 104. The synchronous rotation of the rotating blades 104 transports the feed from the bottom upwards and drops it outwards from a height. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating shaft 102 drives the connecting strip 105, the stirring rod 106, and the connecting strip 107 to rotate, thus stirring the feed. This prevents moisture from accumulating at the bottom of the storage bin 1 when the feed is left to stand for a long time, resulting in a drier upper layer and a wetter lower layer. To improve the overall quality of the feed, the controller starts motor 203, causing its output shaft to drive screw 201 to rotate. Then, under the action of the threaded engagement between screw 201 and movable plate 204, and with the guidance of guide rod 202, movable plate 204 moves along the outer surface of screw 201, simultaneously moving the storage hopper 1. Camera 4 observes the feed trough below. When the feed is low or nonexistent, the controller starts the electric telescopic rod 110, causing it to extend and move L-shaped plate 111 to one side, simultaneously moving baffle 109 to one side, removing it from the discharge pipe 108 position, allowing the feed inside the storage hopper 1 to flow freely. The feed falls downwards through the discharge pipe 108 and into the metering hopper 301. When the feed inside the metering hopper 301 reaches a certain weight, it rotates and tilts downwards. Through the cooperation of the U-shaped block 306, the round rod 307, and the movable plate 308, a pulling force is applied to the movable rod 304, causing it to slide upwards along the inside of the inclined chute 303, discharging the feed collected in the metering hopper 301 into the lower feed trough. Simultaneously, the movable plate 308 rotates at an appropriate angle around the round rod 307 and the movable rod 304. When the feed inside the metering hopper 301 is completely discharged, the gravity of the gravity ball 305 causes the movable rod 304 to slide downwards along the inclined chute 303. With the cooperation of the movable plate 308, the round rod 307, and the U-shaped block 306, a pulling force is applied to the quantitative feed hopper 301, causing the quantitative feed hopper 301 to rotate in the opposite direction and return to the initial position. This process is repeated until the rotating blade 104 detects that the appropriate amount of feed has been added to the feed trough below. Then, the controller controls the electric telescopic rod 110 to start and retract it. With the cooperation of the L-shaped plate 111, the baffle 109 is driven to insert into the discharge pipe 108 to block the feed. In this way, an appropriate amount of feed can be added to the feed trough, avoiding the waste of feed caused by adding too much feed at once. This allows for scientific animal feeding, prevents feed accumulation and mold growth, and thus avoids animal illness or even death.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
