Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sheepfold equipment, specifically referring to a feed dispensing device for sheepfolds. Background Technology

[0002] Sheep are among the most adaptable livestock to their environment, with a wide range of diets, tolerance to roughage, and strong resilience. Raising sheep requires low investment, has a fast turnover, stable profits, and high returns. In recent years, changes in the domestic and international mutton markets have provided enormous opportunities for the development of the sheep industry, making sheep production a lucrative sector.

[0003] In existing sheep pens, workers are responsible for feeding the sheep, which involves carrying and distributing the feed. This process is time-consuming and physically demanding, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale farming. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a feed dispensing device for sheep sheds, which effectively solves the problem that when feeding sheep sheds, workers are required to add feed, transport and feed the sheep, which takes a long time and is physically demanding, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale breeding.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model proposes a feed dispensing device for sheep sheds, including a support frame, a conveying structure, and a metering structure. The conveying structure is set on the support frame, and the metering structure is set on the support frame. The conveying structure includes a first rotating roller, a fixed seat, a first motor, a second rotating roller, a conveyor belt, a fixed plate, a second motor, a baffle, and a limiting rod. The first rotating roller is rotatably disposed through the rear end of the support frame. The fixed seat is fixedly disposed on one side of the rear end of the support frame. The first motor is fixedly disposed on the fixed seat, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly disposed on the first rotating roller. The second rotating roller is rotatably disposed at the front end of the support frame. One end of the conveyor belt is partially wrapped around the first rotating roller, and the other end is partially wrapped around the second rotating roller. The fixed plate is fixedly disposed on one side of the support frame. The second motor is fixedly disposed above the fixed plate. The baffle is fixedly disposed on the output shaft of the second motor. The limiting rod is fixedly disposed on the support frame and located to the right front of the second motor.

[0006] Preferably, the quantitative structure includes a trough, a partition, a ramp, and a weighing scale. The trough is fixedly disposed on the lower part of the other side of the support frame. The partition is vertically disposed above the trough. The ramp is fixedly disposed on the other side of the support frame and positioned above the trough. The weighing scale is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the trough.

[0007] To better achieve quantitative control, the weighing scale is electrically connected to the motor for control, and the two motors are arranged in three groups at equal intervals.

[0008] In order to achieve the purpose of pushing materials faster, the second motor drives the baffle to rotate and tilt at a 45-degree angle.

[0009] Furthermore, the ramp is inclined downwards and positioned above and to the left of the weighing scale.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above structure are as follows: The feed feeding device for sheep sheds proposed in this solution rapidly conveys feed from one end via a conveyor belt, and pushes the feed into the feed trough through a baffle for rapid feeding, saving time and labor.

[0016] The accompanying drawings are provided to further understand the present invention and form part of the specification. They are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Detailed Implementation

[0017] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this utility model proposes a feed dispensing device for sheep pens, including a support frame 1, a conveying structure 2, and a metering structure 3. The conveying structure 2 is mounted on the support frame 1, and the metering structure 3 is also mounted on the support frame 1. The conveying structure 2 includes a first rotating roller 4, a fixed seat 5, a first motor 6, a second rotating roller 7, a conveyor belt 8, a fixed plate 9, a second motor 10, a baffle 11, and a limiting rod 12. The first rotating roller 4 is rotatably mounted through the rear end of the support frame 1. The fixed seat 5 is fixedly mounted on one side of the rear end of the support frame 1. The first motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 1. The fixed base 5 and the output shaft of the first motor 6 are fixedly mounted on the first roller 4. The second roller 7 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the support frame 1. One end of the conveyor belt 8 is partially wrapped around the first roller 4 and the other end is partially wrapped around the second roller 7. The fixed plate 9 is fixedly mounted on one side of the support frame 1. The second motor 10 is fixedly mounted above the fixed plate 9. The baffle 11 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second motor 10. The second motor 10 drives the baffle 11 to rotate and tilt at a 45-degree angle. The limiting rod 12 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 1 and is located in front of the second motor 10 to the right.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the quantitative structure 3 includes a trough 13, a partition 14, a ramp 15, and a weighing scale 16. The trough 13 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the other side of the support frame 1. The partition 14 is vertically installed above the trough 13. The ramp 15 is fixedly installed on the other side of the support frame 1 and is positioned above the trough 13. The weighing scale 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the trough 13. The ramp 15 is inclined downward and positioned to the upper left of the weighing scale 16. The weighing scale 16 is electrically connected to and controlled by a second motor 10. The second motor 10 is arranged in three groups at equal intervals.

[0020] In practical use, the motor 6 drives the roller 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 8 to rotate. The conveyor belt 8 then circulates between the roller 4 and the roller 7. Feed is placed on the conveyor belt 8, which then conveys the feed forward. At this time, the first set of motors 10 drives the baffle 11 to rotate and stop at the limit rod 12. The feed is blocked by the baffle 11 during the conveying process of the conveyor belt 8. The feed slides down the baffle 11 into the weighing scale 16 in the feed trough 13. The weighing scale 16 weighs the feed. When the feed weight reaches the preset weight, the first set of motors 10 drives the baffle 11 to rotate and return to the initial position. At the same time, the second set of motors 10 drives the baffle 11 to rotate and stop at the limit rod 12. The feed then slides into the feed trough 13 from the second set of baffles 11 until the entire feed trough 13 is filled with feed. The above is the entire process of using the feed dispensing device for sheep sheds.
