A motor 9 is fixedly installed on the side of one of the fixing plates 7, and the output shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8. A disc 10 is eccentrically fixed on the outer surface. A contact plate 11 is attached to the bottom of the disc 10. A sliding column 12 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the contact plate 11. The sliding column 12 slides through and extends out of the drive housing 5 and is fixedly installed with a drain block 13. A multi-way pipe 14 is installed through the lower surface of the top material box 2. The drain block 13 is used in conjunction with the multi-way pipe 14. A discharge housing 15 is installed at several ports at the bottom of the multi-way pipe 14. A discharge pipe 16 is installed on the outer surface of the discharge housing 15. A partition seat 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom material box 1. The partition seat 17 divides the bottom material box 1 into several discharge areas. The discharge pipe 16 is arranged in a corresponding manner to each discharge area.

[0030] By using the drive housing 5, the motor 9 inside the drive housing 5 drives the eccentrically mounted disc 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the contact plate 11 to move the unblocking block 13 up and down through the sliding column 12. This allows the feed to be quickly unblocked into the multi-way pipe 14, preventing the feed from getting stuck and making it difficult to flow down the pipe, thus ensuring the smooth flow of the feed. By using the feeding housing 15 in conjunction with the motor 24 and the feeding plate 25, the motor 24 drives the feeding plate 25 to rotate, achieving rapid feed flow. The amount of feed fed can be controlled by controlling the speed of the motor 24.

[0031] An observation port is provided on the top feed bin 2, and a viewing glass plate 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the observation port. The observation port and the viewing glass plate 18 make it convenient to check the remaining feed in the top feed bin 2 in a timely manner, so as to add feed in a timely manner.
