[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 2 A stainless steel feeder includes a frame 1, a storage bin 2 fixedly connected to the frame 1, a discharge port 3 fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage bin 2, a discharge mechanism installed inside the discharge port 3, a feeding trough 4 installed below the frame 1, a seasoning conveying branch pipe 5 and a water supply branch pipe 6 fixedly connected to the upper part of the frame 1, a secondary water supply tank 7 fixedly connected to the frame 1, the seasoning conveying branch pipe 5 connected to the main seasoning conveying pipe 8, the water supply branch pipe 6 connected to the main water supply pipe 9, a secondary water supply mechanism installed inside the secondary water supply tank 7, a detection probe 10 and a signal module box 11 fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the signal module box 11 electrically connected to the PLC main control cabinet 12.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the stainless steel feeder of this utility model allows for the addition of feed to the storage tank 2 via the feed conveying main pipe 8 and the addition of water to the secondary water supply tank 7 via the water supply main pipe 9. When feeding livestock and poultry, the feed discharging mechanism can be controlled via the PLC main control cabinet 12 to discharge feed from the lower end of the discharge port 3 into the feeding trough 4. The secondary water supply mechanism can also be controlled via the PLC main control cabinet 12 to transport water from the secondary water supply tank 7 to the feeding trough 4. During this process, the input of feed and water is independently controlled, and the amount of both can be precisely quantified, thus feeding according to the set water-to-feed ratio, which can greatly reduce waste. The signal module box 11 and the PLC main control cabinet 12 are used to control the entire system, while the detection probe 10 is used for real-time monitoring and analysis of animal feeding behavior to promptly grasp the animal's health status.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the discharge mechanism includes a feeding motor 13 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge port 3. The output end of the feeding motor 13 is fixedly connected to a rubber feeding impeller 14, and the rubber feeding impeller 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge port 3.

[0025] Specifically, the feeding motor 13 is started, causing the rubber feeding impeller 14 to rotate, thereby feeding the feed stored in the rubber feeding impeller 14 from the lower end of the discharge port 3 into the feeding trough 4.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the feeding motor 13 is a variable frequency speed control motor or a continuously variable speed motor.

[0027] Specifically, a variable frequency speed control motor or a continuously variable speed motor can control the rotation speed of the rubber feed impeller 14, thereby controlling the feed feeding speed.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a support plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box 2, a driver 15 is fixedly connected to the support plate, a stirring shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driver 15, the stirring shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the support plate, a plurality of stirring plates 17 are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 16, and cover plates 18 are hinged to both sides of the support plate.

[0029] Specifically, when the feed is stored in the storage bin 2, the driver 15 is started, causing the stirring shaft 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring plate 17 to rotate, so as to stir the feed inside the storage bin 2 and prevent the feed from clumping. The cover plate 18 can prevent the feed from splashing.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage bin 2 is provided with a glass window 21.

[0031] Specifically, the glass window 21 allows for easy observation of the feed content inside the storage bin 2.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the secondary water supply mechanism includes a water pump 19 installed in the secondary water supply tank 7, and a drain pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 19.

[0033] Specifically, the water pump 19 is started, and the water pump 19 sends the secondary water supply tank 7 into the drain pipe 20 and flows to the feeding trough 4. The water volume is controlled by the constant flow rate and water supply time of the water pump 19, and the signal is transmitted to the signal module box 11, so that the PLC main control cabinet 12 controls the water pump 19 to stop running, thereby accurately controlling the amount of water added.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the PLC main control cabinet 12 is connected to the signal module box 11 via the 485 communication protocol, supporting remote parameter adjustment and data recording.

[0035] Specifically, it supports remote parameter adjustment and data recording. Equipment parameters (such as water-to-feed ratio) can be adjusted in real time through remote terminals (such as mobile phones and computers) to quickly adapt to changes in feeding needs. It also supports on-site manual operation, combining manual and automatic functions.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the detection probe 10 uses non-contact sensing technology to monitor animal feeding behavior in real time and generate a health analysis report.

[0037] Specifically, contactless detection technology avoids interference with animals and improves monitoring accuracy.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
