Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry feeding machine technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding machine for poultry farming. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic feeders for poultry farming mainly rely on pre-set programs and mechanical transmission devices to achieve automatic feeding. By setting parameters such as feeding time and amount, the motor starts at the predetermined time, driving the feed conveying component to transport the feed stored in the hopper to the feeding trough according to the set amount for the poultry to eat. When the feed in the feeding trough reaches the set amount remaining or the feeding time ends, the motor automatically stops running and waits for the next feeding instruction. Secondly, the automatic feeder should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated location in the poultry farm with a flat ground to avoid unstable operation of the equipment due to dampness, water accumulation, or uneven ground. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough space around the feeder for the farmer to carry out daily operation and maintenance.

[0003] Automatic feeders are equipped with large-capacity feed bins, which are mostly made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or high-strength engineering plastics. Stainless steel feed bins are sturdy and durable, capable of bearing the weight of heavy feed, and are not prone to rust, effectively extending their service life. Engineering plastics have the advantages of being lightweight, low-cost, and having good sealing properties. However, traditional manual feeding methods require farmers to add feed manually, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, and cannot achieve the effect of automatic feeding. Therefore, it increases the farmer's operation time and reduces the effectiveness of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic feeder for poultry farming, comprising a support frame 1. Support plates 8 are fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the support frame 1. Hollow plates 7 are slidably connected between adjacent support plates 8. A top plate 14 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the hollow plates 7. A servo motor 20 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the top plate 14. A rotating rod 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 20. Worms 25 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 19. A worm wheel 23 is meshed with the outer wall of the worm 25. A rotating column 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the worm wheel 23. The bottom end of the rotating column 22 is connected to the top of the top plate 14. The rotating column 22 is threaded with a threaded rod 24 on its inner side. The bottom end of the threaded rod 24 is rotatably connected to a hollow rod 15. The bottom end of the hollow rod 15 is fixedly connected to a baffle 16. The bottom inner side of the hollow plate 7 is provided with a first leakage hole 26. The inner side of the first leakage hole 26 is connected to a discharge nozzle 6. The outer wall of the discharge nozzle 6 is provided with a second leakage hole 28. The left and right sides of the support frame 1 are provided with an adjustment mechanism 2. The adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust the height of the feed trough. The two support plates 8 are provided with a locking hole 11 on the opposite side. The inner side of the locking hole 11 is connected to a buckle 12. The other end of the buckle 12 is engaged with the left and right sides of the outer wall of the elongated plate 3.

[0035] Specifically, the top plate 14 serves as the support and power source for the entire mechanism. A high-performance servo motor 20 is installed on its top left side. The rotating rod 19 transmits the power of the servo motor 20 and is fixedly connected to a series of worm gears 25. These worm gears 25 form a tight meshing connection with the worm wheel 23 below. The bottom end of the rotating column 22 forms a rotatable connection with the top of the top plate 14, ensuring that it can rotate smoothly when driven by the worm gears 25. When the servo motor 20 starts and drives the rotating rod 19 to rotate, the worm gears 25 will drive the worm wheel 23 and the rotating column 22 to rotate together. Since the rotating column 22 and the threaded rod 24 form a threaded connection, the threaded rod 24 will move up and down under the rotation of the rotating column 22, which will drive the hollow rod 15 and the stop bar 16 to move together, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the material leakage hole 26 and realizing the on-demand flow of materials.

[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3The adjusting mechanism 2 includes a threaded groove 208, which is opened inside the left and right sides of the outer wall of the support frame 1. L-shaped plates 202 are attached to the four corners of the support frame 1. Threaded grooves 306 are opened on the adjacent side of the outer wall of multiple L-shaped plates 202. Threaded knobs 207 are threadedly connected to the inner side of threaded grooves 306. Threaded grooves 205 are opened on the outer wall of L-shaped plates 202. Threaded knobs 103 are threadedly connected to the inner side of threaded grooves 205. L-shaped plates 101 are attached to the outer wall of L-shaped plates 202. Threaded grooves 204 are opened on the outer wall of L-shaped plates 101. The other end of threaded knobs 103 is threadedly connected to the inner side of threaded grooves 204. Long plates 3 are slidably connected between the adjacent outer walls of multiple support plates 8. A material discharge groove 4 is opened at the top of the long plate 3. A circular plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 24.

[0037] Specifically, using support frame 1 as the entire device, L-shaped plates 202 are attached to the four corners of support frame 1. These L-shaped plates 202 not only enhance the stability of support frame 1, but also provide it with additional connection points. Another threaded groove 205 is also opened on the outer wall of L-shaped plate 202. This threaded groove 205 cooperates with threaded knob 203. L-shaped plate 201 serves as the support of another layer of structure. Its outer wall is also opened with threaded groove 204. When threaded knob 203 passes through threaded groove 205 of L-shaped plate 202 and is threadedly connected to threaded groove 204 of L-shaped plate 201, a firm connection is formed between the two L-shaped plates.

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 6 - Appendix Figure 8 A spring 27 is provided on the inner side of the hollow rod 15. A feed plate 5 is connected to the top right side of the top plate 14. A limit rod 17 is fixedly connected to the front top of the hollow rod 15. A long strip 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the limit rod 17. Limit blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates 8 on opposite sides. A battery 13 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the right support plate 8. A controller 10 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the left support plate 8. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the servo motor 20 and the battery 13 respectively.

[0039] Specifically, the design of the feed plate 5 fully considers the flowability of materials and the convenience of operation, making the entire device more efficient and smooth in use. Limiting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates 8 on opposite sides. These limiting blocks 9 enhance the structural strength of the support plates 8 and, through cooperation with the elongated plate 3 or other components, make the device more stable and reliable in use. The controller 10 is responsible for receiving user instructions and controlling the operation of each component.

[0040] Working principle: When feeding poultry, feed is first placed into the inner side of hollow plate 7 through feed plate 5. Then, servo motor 20 is started, which drives rotating rod 19 to rotate. At the same time, worm gear 25 and worm wheel 23 rotate. Meanwhile, rotating column 22 rotates along the top of top plate 14, which drives threaded rod 24 to pull upward with hollow rod 15 and baffle 16. When baffle 16 disengages from the second leakage hole 28 on the discharge nozzle 6, the feed stored inside hollow plate 7 automatically falls into the feed trough 4 through the second leakage hole 28 and the first leakage hole 26. After that, when baffle 16 moves downward again and fits with the second leakage hole 28, the feed feeding stops. Therefore, it achieves the effect of automatic feed feeding, reduces manual intervention, greatly saves labor costs, and is suitable for large-scale breeding and easy for operators to use.

[0041] Next, L-shaped plate 201 and L-shaped plate 202 are attached together, and threaded knob 203 is turned to the inside of threaded groove 204 to connect L-shaped plate 202 and L-shaped plate 201. Then, the outer walls of threaded groove 3 206 and threaded groove 4 208 on L-shaped plate 202 are attached together, and threaded connection is made by threaded knob 207. This ensures that L-shaped plate 202 cannot be limited. Therefore, the stability of the feeder is enhanced, and the device can be adjusted according to the height of the poultry, making it easier for poultry to use feed and improving convenience.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
