Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeder technology, specifically a feeder for fattening calves. Background Technology
[0002] Fattening cattle, also known as beef cattle, require feeding calves using feeders. When feeding fattening calves, the farmer typically mixes the feed with water or milk. However, when this mixture is poured into the feeder, the viscous feed tends to stick to the inner wall of the feeder. Furthermore, when the mixed feed is left to settle inside the feeder, solids accumulate at the bottom, potentially clogging the feeding bottle and hindering the calf's feeding. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a feeder for fattening calves, which solves the problems that when the mixed feed is poured into the feeding cylinder, the viscous feed tends to stick to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder, and when the mixed feed is left to stand inside the feeding cylinder, the solids in the mixed feed settle at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, which can easily clog the feeding bottle and affect the feeding of calves.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeder for fattening calves, comprising a feeding cylinder, a fixed cover on the top of the feeding cylinder, a motor protective shell fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cover, a servo motor fixedly connected inside the motor protective shell, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, eight stirring blocks fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the rotating rod, the stirring blocks being arranged in pairs, a sliding groove being formed inside the stirring block, a return spring fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the sliding groove, a sliding block fixedly connected to one end of the return spring, and the sliding block being slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a bottom cleaning rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer arc surface of the rotating rod, and a cleaning block is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block corresponding to each set of stirring blocks.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a plurality of feeding bottles are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer arc surface of the feeding cylinder, and an electric telescopic platform is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the feeding cylinder.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom end of the electric telescopic platform is fixedly connected with four moving wheels, and the top end of the fixed cover is fixedly connected with two handles.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing cover, and fixing seats are fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the feeding tube corresponding to the fixing blocks.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a rotating block is rotatably connected inside the fixed base, and the same fixing buckle is rotatably connected to both sides of the rotating block.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This feeder for fattening calves consists of a feeding cylinder, a servo motor, a rotating rod, a sliding block, and a cleaning block. When feed is poured into the feeding cylinder, the servo motor is activated, driving the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod then drives the surface stirring block to rotate, which in turn drives the sliding block and cleaning block to rotate, thus agitating the feed inside the cylinder. When the rotating rod reaches a certain speed, the cleaning block... The cleaning block, under the action of centrifugal force, adheres to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder. As the cleaning block moves within the sliding groove, it simultaneously pulls the return spring. When the cleaning block rotates against the inner wall of the feeding cylinder, it can be used to clean the inner wall of the feeding cylinder by rotating and scraping, preventing feed from sticking to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder. When the rotating rod drives the cleaning block to rotate and clean, it also drives the bottom cleaning rod to rotate and clean the inner bottom wall of the feeding cylinder, preventing feed from settling at the bottom and causing blockage to the feeding bottle.
[0012] 2. This feeder for fattening calves consists of a feeding cylinder, a fixed block, a fixed seat, and a rotating block. When mixing is required, first, the fixed cover should be placed on top of the feeding cylinder. When the fixed cover is on top of the feeding cylinder, align the fixed block and the fixed seat. At this point, the fixed cover needs to be fixed to the feeding cylinder to prevent it from loosening during mixing. Then, rotate the rotating block 180 degrees upwards. Next, hook the fixing buckle onto the hook of the fixed block. Then, by rotating the rotating block, the fixing buckle is pressed down, fixing it to the fixed block and connecting the fixed cover to the feeding cylinder, preventing the fixed cover from detaching from the top of the feeding cylinder.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a feeder for fattening calves, including a feeding cylinder 1, a fixed cover 2 on the top of the feeding cylinder 1, a plurality of feeding bottles 12 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer arc surface of the feeding cylinder 1, and an electric telescopic platform 13 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the feeding cylinder 1. By setting the electric telescopic platform 13, when the electric telescopic platform 13 extends and retracts, it drives the feeding cylinder 1 to adjust its height, so that the feeding cylinder 1 and the feeding bottles 12 can be adjusted to the corresponding height for calves at different stages, making it convenient for calves to eat.
[0019] The bottom of the electric telescopic table 13 is fixedly connected with four moving wheels 14, and the top of the fixed cover 2 is fixedly connected with two handles 15. By setting the moving wheels 14, the feeding cylinder 1 and the electric telescopic table 13 are pushed to move through the rotation of the moving wheels 14, so that the feeding cylinder 1 and the electric telescopic table 13 can be moved to the appropriate position.
[0020] A motor protective shell 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cover 2. A servo motor 4 is fixedly connected inside the motor protective shell 3. A rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 4. Eight stirring blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the rotating rod 5. The stirring blocks 6 are arranged in pairs. A sliding groove 7 is opened inside the stirring blocks 6. A sliding block 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the two return springs 8. The sliding groove 7 can conveniently fix the return springs 8 inside, and the sliding block 9 can conveniently slide inside the sliding groove 7, so that the sliding block 9 can move linearly along the sliding groove 7.
[0021] A return spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the sliding groove 7. A sliding block 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 8, and the sliding block 9 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 7. A bottom cleaning rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer arc surface of the rotating rod 5. A cleaning block 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 9 corresponding to each set of stirring blocks 6. By setting the cleaning block 10, when the cleaning block 10 rotates, the feed in the feeding cylinder 1 can be stirred. When the cleaning block 10 is attached to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 1, the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 1 can be cleaned by the cleaning block 10.
[0022] Fixed blocks 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed cover 2. A fixed seat 17 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the feeding cylinder 1 at the position corresponding to the fixed block 16. A rotating block 18 is rotatably connected inside the fixed seat 17. The same fixing buckle 19 is rotatably connected to both sides of the rotating block 18. By setting the fixing buckle 19 and the fixed block 16, the fixing buckle 19 is sleeved on the fixed block 16, and the fixing block 16 is fixed by the fixing buckle 19, which facilitates the fixing of the feeding cylinder 1 and the fixed cover 2.
[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, add the required feeding liquid to the feeding cylinder 1. Then, place the fixing cover 2 on top of the feeding cylinder 1. While closing the cover, align the fixing block 16 with the fixing seat 17. Then, rotate the rotating block 18 upwards by 180 degrees, so that the fixing buckle 19 is hooked onto the hook of the fixing block 16. Then, rotate the rotating block 18 downwards by 180 degrees. The rotating block 18 drives the fixing buckle 19 to press down, fixing the fixing buckle 19 to the fixing block 16, thus fixing the fixing cover 2 to the feeding cylinder 1. At this point, the rotation of the servo motor 4 can be used to... The rotating rod 5 drives the stirring block 6 on the surface to rotate, and the stirring block 6 drives the sliding block 9 and the cleaning block 10 to rotate. When the cleaning block 10 rotates, it can rotate and stir the feeding liquid in the feeding cylinder 1. When the rotating rod 5 rotates to a certain speed, the cleaning block 10 will be subjected to centrifugal force and will stick to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 1, scraping and cleaning the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 1. At the same time, the rotating rod 5 drives the bottom cleaning rod 11 to rotate to prevent feed from settling at the bottom and clogging the feeding bottle 12, thereby preventing it from affecting the feeding of calves.
