Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding device, specifically an automatic feeding device for poultry farming, belonging to the technical field of poultry farming. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, the consumption of meat and eggs is increasing. A portion of this meat and egg consumption is provided by poultry. Poultry refers to artificially raised birds, usually for the purpose of producing eggs, meat, and feathers. Common poultry include chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, pigeons, and quails. Currently, poultry need to be fed regularly to ensure their normal growth. Feeding devices are generally used to reduce the frequency of feeding and lower labor costs.
[0003] Existing feeding devices generally consist of a feed tray, a storage bin, and an opening at the bottom of the bin. Feed in the bin flows down to the feed tray under gravity, where chickens and ducks can eat. When the feed in the tray decreases, the feed in the bin is automatically replenished, thus achieving automatic feeding. A single full bin can feed for several days, reducing manual labor. Existing devices are generally integrated structures. When adding feed, the bin is typically taken to the feeding area, and then returned afterward. For ease of handling, there are usually no external fixing parts; the bin is simply placed on the ground. However, as chickens and ducks flap around, they easily bump into the bin, and when the feed in the bin is low, it is prone to tipping over. Therefore, we provide an automatic feeding device for poultry farming to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for poultry farming. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] An automatic feeding device for poultry farming includes a feed hopper, a protective mechanism at the upper end of the feed hopper, a fixing mechanism on the outside of the feed hopper, a rod connected to the lower surface of the feed hopper, a fixing plate slidably connected to the outer surface of the rod, a feeding pipe connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate, the upper surface of the feeding pipe contacting the feed hopper, a squeezing mechanism inside the feeding pipe, a closing mechanism at the upper end of the squeezing mechanism, and the closing mechanism located inside the feed hopper, a feed tray connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate, and a partition installed inside the feed tray.
[0006] Preferably, a support plate is connected to the lower surface of the feed tray, and a base is connected to the lower surface of the support plate.
[0007] Preferably, the protective mechanism includes a protective plate, the lower surface of which is connected to a fixing ring, and the inner wall of the fixing ring is threadedly connected to the upper end of the feed bucket.
[0008] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing rod, the lower surface of which is connected to a partition, a rotating block rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixing rod, and a retaining ring connected to the outer surface of the feed bucket, the outer surface of which is slidably connected to the rotating block.
[0009] Preferably, the extrusion mechanism includes a connecting rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the feed pipe, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a top rod.
[0010] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a fixed block, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the feed bucket, a fixed cylinder connected to the lower surface of the fixed block, a movable cylinder slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, and a sealing block connected to the lower end of the movable cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, a spring is provided inside the movable cylinder, the upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the fixed block, the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the closing block, and the lower surface of the closing block is in contact with the top rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This automatic feeding device for poultry farming, through the setting of fixing mechanisms and fixing plates, etc., when the feed bucket is hit by an external object, the fixing plate will lock the plug, thereby preventing the feed bucket from shifting horizontally or tilting. At the same time, the fixing mechanism prevents the feed bucket from moving upward, thus achieving the effect of fixing the feed bucket and preventing it from being overturned. This solves the problem of existing devices that do not have external fixing mechanisms and are placed directly on the ground, which are prone to being hit by chickens and ducks when they flap around, and are prone to being overturned when the feed in the bucket is low.
[0014] 2. This automatic feeding device for poultry farming incorporates components such as a squeezing mechanism and a sealing mechanism. When the feed in the feed hopper is depleted, the feed hopper is lifted upwards. The feed hopper causes the sealing mechanism to move upwards, preventing the squeezing mechanism from pressing against the sealing mechanism. The sealing mechanism then blocks the round hole at the bottom of the feed hopper. The feed hopper is then lifted to the feeding position for feeding. After feeding is completed and the device is reset, the squeezing mechanism presses against the sealing mechanism, causing the feed to flow into the feed tray. This eliminates the need to move the feed tray or carry the feed bag next to the feed hopper, thus facilitating feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-6The feed hopper includes a feed bin 1, a protective mechanism 2 at its upper end, a fixing mechanism 3 on the outside of the feed bin 1, a rod 4 connected to the lower surface of the feed bin 1, a fixing plate 5 slidably connected to the outer surface of the rod 4, a feeding pipe 6 connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate 5, and the upper surface of the feeding pipe 6 contacting the feed bin 1. A squeezing mechanism 7 is installed inside the feeding pipe 6, and a closing mechanism 8 is located at the upper end of the squeezing mechanism 7, inside the feed bin 1. A feed tray 9 is connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate 5, and a partition 10 is installed inside the feed tray 9. The feed bin 1 stores poultry feed. The protective mechanism 2 can seal the top of the feed bin 1. The feed tray 9 is shielded to prevent external dust or rainwater from falling in, ensuring the feed is dry and clean. The fixing mechanism 3 is used to limit and fix the feed bucket 1, preventing it from moving upward and ensuring that the feed bucket 1 is fixed together with the fixing plate 5. There are six insertion rods 4. The fixing plate 5 has insertion holes that match the number of insertion rods 4. The insertion rods 4 can be inserted into the insertion holes to limit the feed bucket 1 and prevent it from shifting horizontally or tilting. There are six feeding pipes 6, six extrusion mechanisms 7, and six sealing mechanisms 8, which are in one-to-one correspondence. The partition 10 divides the space inside the feed tray 9 into six sections, each corresponding to a feeding pipe 6.
[0024] A support plate 11 is connected to the lower surface of the feed tray 9, and a base 12 is connected to the lower surface of the support plate 11. The base 12 is provided with bolt holes, which can fix the base 12 to the ground or the concrete support component below, thereby fixing the feed tray 9 and the fixing plate 5. The support plate 11 is used to increase the height of the feed tray 9 so that the feed tray 9 is adapted to the height of the poultry's beak when feeding.
[0025] The protective mechanism 2 includes a protective plate 201. A fixing ring 202 is connected to the lower surface of the protective plate 201. The inner wall of the fixing ring 202 is threaded to the upper end of the feed hopper 1. The diameter of the protective plate 201 is larger than the diameter of the feed tray 9, which can block moisture and other substances in the upper part to protect the feed. A handle is provided on the protective plate 201 for easy lifting. By twisting the protective plate 201 and the fixing ring 202, the fixing ring 202 can be unscrewed from the feed hopper 1 to facilitate feeding into the feed hopper 1.
[0026] The fixing mechanism 3 includes a fixing rod 301, the lower surface of which is connected to the partition 10, and a rotating block 302 rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixing rod 301. A retaining ring 303 is connected to the outer surface of the feed bucket 1, and the outer surface of the retaining ring 303 is slidably connected to the rotating block 302. By rotating the rotating block 302, the rotating block 302 can be moved above the retaining ring 303, thereby restricting the retaining ring 303 and preventing it from moving upward, thus preventing the feed bucket 1 from moving upward.
[0027] The extrusion mechanism 7 includes a connecting rod 701. The end of the connecting rod 701 is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 6, and the other end of the connecting rod 701 is fixedly connected to a top rod 702. When the feed bucket 1 is placed on the fixed plate 5, the top rod 702 can be inserted into the inside of the feed bucket 1 to extrude the sealing mechanism 8, thereby facilitating feeding.
[0028] The closing mechanism 8 includes a fixed block 801, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the feed bucket 1. A fixed cylinder 802 is connected to the lower surface of the fixed block 801. A movable cylinder 803 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 802. A closing block 804 is connected to the lower end of the movable cylinder 803. The movable cylinder 803 can slide up and down inside the fixed cylinder 802, so that the closing block 804 can move up and down to close or open the round hole at the bottom of the feed bucket 1.
[0029] The movable cylinder 803 is equipped with a spring 805. The upper end of the spring 805 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 801, and the lower end of the spring 805 is fixedly connected to the sealing block 804. The lower surface of the sealing block 804 is in contact with the top rod 702. The spring 805 gives the sealing block 804 a downward elastic force. When the top rod 702 no longer presses on the sealing block 804, the spring 805 drives the sealing block 804 to move downward, which can block the round hole at the bottom of the feed bucket 1.
[0030] In use, the feed inside the feed hopper 1 flows through the feed pipe 6 into the feed tray 9 to feed the poultry. When the amount of feed in the feed tray 9 decreases, the amount of feed below the feed pipe 6 decreases, which reduces the pressure at the bottom of the feed pipe 6. The feed inside the feed hopper 1 then replenishes the feed in the feed tray 9, achieving an automatic feeding effect.
[0031] When the feed inside the feed hopper 1 is depleted, rotate multiple rotating blocks 302 so that the rotating blocks 302 no longer restrict the retaining ring 303, lift the feed hopper 1 upward, the feed hopper 1 drives the insert rod 4 upward, causing the insert rod 4 to be pulled out from the fixed plate 5, and at the same time drive the sealing mechanism 8 upward, so that the top rod 702 no longer squeezes the sealing block 804. Under the action of the spring 805, the sealing block 804 blocks the round hole at the bottom of the feed hopper 1, thereby sealing the bottom of the feed hopper 1. Then lift the feed hopper 1 to the feeding position, open the protective mechanism 2, after feeding is completed, put the feed hopper 1 back to its original position, and insert the six insert rods 4 into the insertion holes on the fixed plate 5 to achieve positioning, so that the top rod 702 squeezes the sealing mechanism 8 on it one by one, thereby causing the feed to flow into the feed tray 9, achieving the purpose of feeding poultry. Then the fixing mechanism 3 locks the feed hopper 1 for fixation, without the need to move the feed tray 9 or move the feed bag next to the feed hopper 1, achieving the effect of easy feeding.
[0032] When the feed bucket 1 is impacted by an external object, the fixing plate 5 locks the insert rod 4, thereby preventing the feed bucket 1 from shifting horizontally or tilting. By rotating the rotating block 302, the rotating block 302 can be moved above the retaining ring 303, thereby restricting the retaining ring 303 and preventing it from moving upward, thus preventing the feed bucket 1 from moving upward. This achieves the effect of fixing the feed bucket 1 and preventing it from being overturned.
