[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic feeding device for sows includes: a frame 1, a horizontal feed box 2 on the frame 1, a feed inlet 3 at the top of the horizontal feed box 2, a discharge outlet 4 at the bottom, and a horizontally arranged stirring shaft 5 inside.

[0024] The feed inlet 3 is located at the first end of the horizontal feed box 2, and the discharge outlet 4 is located at the second end of the horizontal feed box 2. During use, the feed is moved from the first end to the second end of the horizontal feed box 2 and is stirred evenly.

[0025] A stirring blade 6 is provided on the stirring shaft 5, and one end of the blade is connected to the first drive motor 19 located on the outside of the horizontal feed box 2.

[0026] Below the discharge port 4, there is a discharge seat 18 and a discharge pipe 7. The discharge seat 18 has an inverted truncated cone structure, with its top fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal feed box 2 and its bottom connected to the top of the discharge pipe 7, which facilitates the collection of discharged feed.

[0027] The discharge pipe 7 is arranged vertically and is circular, with a fixed circular seat 8 fitted around its bottom. A rotatable rotating disk 9 is fitted around the fixed circular seat 8, and several first connecting columns 10 are evenly distributed along its circumference on the bottom surface of the fixed circular seat 8.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of the rotating disk 9 has several grooves 23 evenly distributed along its circumference, and teeth 11 are provided on the outer circumference. The grooves 23 are arranged at an angle, and a second connecting post 15 is slidably arranged inside them. The second connecting post 15 is arranged vertically, with its top end located inside the groove 23 and restricted to prevent it from descending.

[0029] Several baffles 12 are arranged below the fixed circular base 8. Each baffle 12 is an arc-shaped triangle, with a connecting part 13 and an extension connecting part 14 at each of its two base corners. All three sides of the arc-shaped triangle are arcs, and the baffles 12 can be assembled into a circle, which corresponds to the outlet of the discharge pipe 7 and can block the discharge pipe 7. The connecting part 13 is rotatably fitted onto the first connecting post 10. The extension connecting part 14 extends to the rotating disk 9 and is rotatably fitted onto the second connecting post 15.

[0030] To prevent the baffle 12 from detaching, limit blocks 20 are provided at the bottom of both the first connecting post 10 and the bottom of the second connecting post 15. The limit blocks 20 are circular and their diameter is larger than the diameter of the two connecting posts.

[0031] When the rotating disc 9 rotates, the slide 23 will drive the second connecting column 15 to move. When the second connecting column 15 is driven to move, its relative position in the slide 23 will change. At the same time, the second connecting column 15 will drive the baffle 12 to rotate around the first connecting column 10, so that the outlet of the discharge pipe 10 is exposed, and the material is discharged.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a drive gear 16 is provided on the side of the rotating disc 9 and meshes with it. The drive gear 16 is connected to the second drive motor 17 located below the horizontal feed box 2.

[0033] Preferably, to improve protection and isolation, a protective cover 21 is provided at the bottom of the discharge pipe 7. The protective cover 21 covers the outside of the rotating disc 9 and the drive gear 16, and covers the connecting column, the baffle 12 and the fixed round seat 8.

[0034] An auxiliary discharge pipe 22 is provided below the protective cover 21 for material discharge. The position of the auxiliary discharge pipe 22 corresponds to the outlet position of the discharge pipe 7.

[0035] Working process: The staff feeds the feed into the horizontal feed box 2 through the feed inlet 3. The stirring shaft 5 and the stirring blades 6 can stir the feed to ensure that the components of the feed are mixed evenly. When feeding is required, the second drive motor 17 moves, which drives the drive gear 16 to rotate. The drive gear 16 drives the rotating disk 9 to rotate. The rotating disk 9 drives several baffles 12 to move synchronously, opening the discharge pipe 7 to realize automatic feeding. After feeding is completed, the drive motor 17 reverses and drives each baffle 12 to close the discharge pipe 7.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
