Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of quail breeding technology, and in particular, it is an automatic feeding device for quail breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Quails are birds belonging to the genus Quail in the family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes. Quails are gradually becoming known to people, and quail meat and quail eggs are regarded as nutritious delicacies. Their breeding industry is also gradually expanding and prospering. However, when feeding quails with feeding devices, the feed tends to pile up, causing the quails to crowd together when they come to eat, which affects their eating and is not conducive to quail breeding.

[0003] An existing Chinese patent (authorization announcement number CN215736346U) discloses an automatic feeding device for livestock breeding, which "includes a feeding bin, the bottom of the feeding bin is provided with a base plate, and both sides of the top of the base plate are provided with lifting parts, the lifting parts include a vertically arranged bracket and a guide rod provided on one side of the bracket, and a crossbar is slidably connected to the side of the guide rod away from the bracket."

[0004] It is evident that the cited patent document has the problem that the feed tends to pile up when it is put in. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for quail farming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for quail farming, comprising a feeding box, a mounting frame on one side of the feeding box, a through groove on the top surface of the mounting frame, a feeding box for holding quail feed inside the through groove, a fixing plate welded to the bottom surface of the mounting frame, a motor mounted on one side of the fixing plate, a gear connected to the output end of the motor, teeth meshing with the gear on the bottom surface of the feeding box, two limiting rods symmetrically welded to the inner sidewall of the through groove, two sliders symmetrically mounted on the two sides of the feeding box, four sliders slidingly sleeved around the two limiting rods, and a discharge plate penetrating the feeding box mounted on the inner sidewall of the feeding box, the discharge plate being positioned above the mounting frame.

[0007] Preferably, mounting boxes are installed on both sides of the feeding box, and two movable blocks are symmetrically welded to one side of the mounting frame.

[0008] Preferably, the two movable blocks are slidably disposed in the inner cavities of the two mounting boxes, and an electric push rod is installed on one side of each of the two mounting boxes.

[0009] Preferably, the piston rods of both electric push rods extend into the inner cavity of the mounting box and are connected and fixed to one side of the movable block.

[0010] Preferably, a guide block is installed on the inner side wall of the feeding box, and the guide block is located above the discharge plate.

[0011] Preferably, the inner cavity of the guide block is provided with a rotating roller, and the circumference of the rotating roller is provided with a metering trough for metering quail feed.

[0012] Preferably, a drive motor is installed on one side of the feeding box, and the output end of the drive motor passes through the feeding box and is connected and fixed to one side of the rotating roller.

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

[0014] This automatic feeding device for quail farming uses a motor to power the rotation of gears, which in turn moves the feed container at a constant speed. This allows the feed discharged from the discharge plate to be distributed evenly inside the feed container. Compared to existing feeding methods, this device disperses the feed within the container, preventing feed from piling up and avoiding overcrowding among the quail.

[0015] The welded limiting rod and welded slider can limit the movement of the feed box and support its position to prevent deviation. The installed mounting box and electric push rod can move the mounting frame so that the feed box can be moved away from under the discharge plate, preventing the discharge plate from occupying the space above the feed box and affecting the quail's consumption.

[0024] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0026] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 An automatic feeding device for quail farming is shown, including a feeding box 1. The top surface of the feeding box 1 is provided with a feeding port for feeding quail feed. The inner side wall of the feeding box 1 is equipped with a discharge plate 18 that penetrates the feeding box 1. The feed entering the feeding box 1 will be discharged from the feeding box 1 through the discharge plate 18.

[0028] A mounting frame 2 is provided on one side of the feeding box 1. A through groove 3 is provided on the top surface of the mounting frame 2. A feed box 4 for holding feed for quail farming is provided inside the through groove 3. The discharge plate 18 is located above the mounting frame 2, so the feed discharged from the discharge plate 18 will fall into the feed box 4 for the quail to eat.

[0029] A fixing plate 5 is welded to the bottom of the mounting frame 2. A motor 6 is installed on one side of the fixing plate 5. A gear 7 is connected to the output end of the motor 6. A tooth 8 that meshes with the gear 7 is installed on the bottom of the feed box 4. When feed is put into the feed box 4, the motor 6 is turned on, and the motor 6 drives the gear 7 to rotate. Since the gear 7 meshes with the tooth 8, the rotation of the gear 7 will drive the feed box 4 to move laterally through the tooth 8. When the feed box 4 moves from one side of the cavity of the channel 3 to the other side, the motor 6 can drive the gear 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the feed box 4 to move in the opposite direction through the tooth 8. This allows the feed box 4 to achieve lateral reciprocating motion, so that the discharged feed can be dispersed in the cavity of the feed box 4, avoiding feed accumulation and preventing quails from crowding together when eating, thus reducing the impact on quail feeding.

[0030] Two limiting rods 9 are symmetrically welded to the inner wall of the through groove 3. Two sliders 10 are symmetrically installed on the two sides of the material box 4. The four sliders 10 are slidably sleeved on the periphery of the two limiting rods 9. When the material box 4 moves laterally, it will drive the four sliders 10 to move on the periphery of the two limiting rods 9, so that the limiting rods 9 and sliders 10 restrict the movement trajectory and position of the material box 4 and prevent deviation.

[0031] The feeding box 1 has mounting boxes 11 installed on both sides. The mounting frame 2 has two movable blocks 12 symmetrically welded on one side. The two movable blocks 12 are slidably set in the inner cavity of the two mounting boxes 11. The two mounting boxes 11 have electric push rods 13 installed on one side. The piston rods of the two electric push rods 13 pass through the inner cavity of the mounting box 11 and are connected and fixed to one side of the movable block 12. By opening the two electric push rods 13, the two movable blocks 12 can be moved in the inner cavity of the mounting box 11, thereby moving the mounting frame 2 and allowing the feeding box 4 to be moved away from under the discharge plate 18, so as to avoid the discharge plate 18 occupying the space above the feeding box 4 and affecting the quail's consumption.

[0032] A guide block 14 is installed on the inner wall of the feeding box 1. The guide block 14 is located above the discharge plate 18. A rotating roller 15 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the guide block 14. A metering trough 16 for metering quail feed is opened on the periphery of the rotating roller 15. A drive motor 17 is installed on one side of the feeding box 1. The output end of the drive motor 17 passes through the feeding box 1 and is connected and fixed to one side of the rotating roller 15. In the initial state, the metering trough 16 will face upward, so that the feed entering the feeding box 1 will enter the metering trough 16 and fill the metering trough 16. At this time, the drive motor 17 is turned on, so that the drive motor 17 slowly and uniformly drives the rotating roller 15 to rotate. After the rotating roller 15 has rotated 180 degrees, the metering trough 16 will face downward, so that the feed can fall downward to the discharge plate 18 and be discharged from the feeding box 1 through the discharge plate 18. By repeating the operation, the rotating roller 15 and the metering trough 16 can meter the feed, avoiding the situation of too much feed being wasted or too little feed affecting the quail's consumption.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] This automatic feeding device for quail farming feeds quail feed into the feeding box 1 and discharges it through the discharge plate 18. When discharging feed, the motor 6 is activated, driving the gear 7 to rotate. Since the gear 7 meshes with the teeth 8, the rotation of the gear 7 causes the feed container 4 to move laterally through the teeth 8. When the feed container 4 moves from one side of the cavity of the channel 3 to the other, the motor 6 drives the gear 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the feed container 4 to move in the opposite direction through the teeth 8, thus achieving a lateral reciprocating motion. Because the discharge plate 18 is located above the mounting frame 2, the feed discharged from the discharge plate 18 falls into the interior of the feed container 4. Combined with the lateral reciprocating motion of the feed container 4, the discharged quail feed is dispersed and spread inside the feed container 4 for the quails to eat, preventing the feed from piling up and causing the quails to crowd together while eating, thus reducing the impact on the quails' feeding.
