Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an animal feeding and spreading vehicle, belonging to the technical field of livestock tool vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] In the current booming dairy farming industry, scientific and efficient feeding methods play a crucial role in improving the health of dairy cows and ensuring milk yield and quality. Among these methods, the feeding of dairy cows is a key link in the feeding process, and its efficiency and effectiveness directly affect the growth, development, and production performance of dairy cows.
[0003] Currently, in many dairy farming scenarios, the commonly used traditional method of feeding hay involves transporting hay to a designated area in the cowshed using a cart, and then having the farmer use simple tools such as shovels or rakes to evenly spread the hay in the feed troughs. Manually spreading hay requires farmers to bend over and wield tools for extended periods, resulting in extremely high labor intensity. For example, a medium-sized dairy farm needs to feed hundreds or even thousands of cows multiple times a day, requiring farmers to repeatedly move and spread hay, leading to significant physical exhaustion.
[0004] Although some feed spreaders exist on the market, most of them suffer from complex structures and high costs. Their complex structures not only increase the difficulty of manufacturing and maintenance costs but also lead to cumbersome operation, requiring a high level of expertise from farm workers. For some small and medium-sized farms, the high purchase and operating costs are a significant factor hindering their adoption of feed spreaders, forcing them to continue relying on inefficient manual feeding methods.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an animal feeder includes a vehicle body 100, a cargo box 200 on the vehicle body 100, a discharge port 201 on the cargo box 200, a baffle 300, a pulley 400, a lever 500, and a pull rope 600. The baffle 300 is installed at the discharge port 201 in a way that allows it to be raised and lowered. The pulley 400 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the baffle 300. The fulcrum 501 of the lever 500 is located on the cargo box 200. One end of the pull rope 600 is connected to the cargo box 200, and the other end of the pull rope 600 passes around the pulley 400 and is connected to the lever 500.
[0035] Two parallel slide rails 700 are also provided at the discharge port 201. The baffle 300 is slidably mounted on the slide rails 700 to realize the lifting and lowering opening and closing of the baffle 300 at the discharge port 201. The sliding mounting of the baffle 300 on the slide rails 700 can make the lifting and lowering opening and closing of the baffle 300 more stable and smooth, and reduce the shaking and jamming of the baffle 300 during the opening and closing process.
[0036] The side wall of the truck bed 200 is also provided with a tube 801 for inserting working tools 802. This allows operators to easily access working tools 802, such as shovels and brooms, during the spreading process to clean and maintain the spreading truck or the spreading area, improving the convenience and efficiency of spreading operations, and also preventing the working tools 802 from being lost or damaged due to careless placement.
[0037] An electronic scale is installed at the bottom of the truck bed 200, and an electronic scale display 900 is installed on the outside of the truck bed 200.
