A discharge pipe 51 is installed on the right side of the support frame 1. A rotating shaft 71 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the discharge pipe 51. A baffle 7 for stopping the discharge is installed on the rotating shaft 71. The baffle 7 is located inside the discharge pipe 51. Torsion springs 72 are installed between the front and rear sides of the rotating shaft 71 and the discharge pipe 51. A rotating component for lifting the moving column 43 is provided on the support frame 1. A drive component for driving the rotating component is provided on the support frame 1. A swing component for cooperating with the rotating component to drive the baffle 7 to open and close is provided on the support frame 1.
[0017] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a rotating wheel 61 and a drive shaft 62. The drive shaft 62 is rotatably connected to the lower left side of the support frame 1, and the rotating wheel 61 that cooperates with the moving column 43 is mounted on the drive shaft 62.
[0018] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a liquid level sensor 10, a controller 11, a motor 12, and a friction wheel 13. The liquid level sensor 10 is installed in the water feeding chamber of the feeding trough 3, the controller 11 is installed on the support frame 1, the motor 12 is installed on the lower rear side of the support frame 1, and the friction wheel 13 that cooperates with the transmission shaft 62 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 12.

[0019] Preferably, the swing assembly includes a top rod 8, a telescopic rod 81, a connecting rod 82, and a contact block 83. Contact blocks 83 are installed at both the front and rear ends of the rotating shaft 71. Two telescopic rods 81 are installed at the lower part of the support frame 1. A top rod 8 that cooperates with the contact block 83 is installed between the right ends of the two telescopic rods 81.

When the cavity 45 of the moving column 43 is connected to the water outlet pipe 42, water will be added to the water supply chamber in the feeding trough 3. At the same time, the transmission shaft 62 drives the push rod 8 to move back and forth through the connecting rod 82. When the push rod 8 moves to the right, the push rod 8 pushes the contact block 83 to move... Rotating shaft 71 rotates, torsion spring 72 deforms, rotating shaft 71 drives baffle 7 to rotate to release feed, thereby filling the feeding chamber in feeding trough 3 with feed. When top rod 8 moves to the left to reset, under the action of torsion spring 72, rotating shaft 71, baffle 7 and contact block 83 are rotated to reset. The water level in the water chamber is monitored by liquid level sensor 10. When the water level is lower than the minimum threshold, motor 12 works, so that water and feed can be added to the water chamber and feeding chamber of feeding trough 3 at the same time, thereby replacing manual feeding of quails and reducing manual workload.
