[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic feeding and recycling device for hay, which has two horizontally distributed bases 1, each of which is equipped with a rotating component. A roller 13 is provided on the left base 1 and a roller 21 is provided on the right base 1. A belt 3 is connected to both the roller 13 and the roller 21.

[0032] A guide trough 4 is provided between the two bases 1. The belt 3 is slidably connected to the guide trough 4. A residual material baffle 5 is rotatably connected to the guide trough 4. The bottom surface of the residual material baffle 5 abuts against the top surface of the belt 3.

[0033] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the rotating assembly includes two bearing brackets 11 fixedly installed on the base 1, and each bearing bracket 11 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 12 through a fixedly installed bearing.

[0034] A drive motor 14 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the base 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 14 extends forward and is connected to the rotating shaft 12 via a coupling.

[0035] Optionally, in the above technical solution, a connecting plate 31 is fixedly installed on the right end of the belt 3, and a through hole 32 is opened on the right end of the connecting plate 31. A hook 33 is inserted into the through hole 32, and the left end of the traction rope 34 is fixedly connected to the hook 33.

[0036] Optionally, in the above technical solution, a roller 13 coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft 12 of the left base 1 is fixedly installed, and the left end of the belt 3 is fixedly installed on the roller 13.

[0037] A roller 21 coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft 12 of the right base 1 is fixedly installed thereon, and the right end of the traction rope 34 is fixedly installed on the roller 21.

[0038] Optionally, in the above technical solution, a strip groove 41 for rotating the residual material baffle 5 is provided on the front end face of the guide trough 4. A rotating sleeve 42 is fixedly installed on the guide trough 4 and at the left end of the strip groove 41. A rotating rod 43 is inserted into the rotating sleeve 42 and is fixedly installed on each rotating rod 43. Both connecting plates 44 are fixedly installed on the residual material baffle 5.

[0039] Optionally, in the above technical solution, a drive motor B51 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the guide trough 4. The output axis of the drive motor B51 extends upward and its end is connected to the rotating rod 43 through a coupling.

[0040] Optionally, in the above technical solution, a support box 45 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the guide trough 4, and the surplus material trough 6 is slidably connected inside the support box 45.

[0041] Furthermore, support columns 40 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom wall of the guide trough 4 to raise the guide trough 4, which facilitates the placement of the surplus material trough 6 and the installation of the drive motor B51; wherein, the drive motor B51 can be fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the guide trough 4 through the motor mount.

[0042] The width of the support box 45 is less than half the width of the guide trough 4, and the width of the surplus material trough 6 is greater than the width of the support box 45. After the surplus material trough 6 is inserted into the support box 45, part of it is located outside the guide trough 4, which facilitates the falling of grass into the surplus material trough 6.

[0043] Among them, drive motor 14 and drive motor B51 are both geared motors, and their output shafts can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, and the two drive motors 14 have the same speed.

[0044] The heights of the bearing brackets 11 and the rotating shafts 12 on the two bases 1 are different, and they are adapted to the rollers 13 and 21 respectively.

[0045] The outer circumferential surface of the bearing is fixedly installed inside the bearing bracket, and the inner circumferential surface of the bearing is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0046] Place the device in the feeding area of ​​the cattle shed. First, adjust the distance between the two bases 1 according to the actual situation, and then install the hook 33 in the through hole 32.

[0047] During material distribution: The excess material baffle 5 is completely positioned at the strip groove 41 (i.e., the excess material baffle 5 is parallel to the side wall of the guide groove 4). The drive motor 14 is started to rotate clockwise, and the roller 13 rotates to the right to unwind the belt 3. The roller 21 rotates to the right and pulls the belt 3 to the right through the winding of the traction rope 34 and the rightward movement of the connecting plate 31. Material is sprinkled at the designated position (this position is directly above the belt 3 and close to the base 1). Since the sprinkling position remains unchanged and the belt 3 moves, the falling straw is moved to the right, so that the straw is evenly distributed on the belt 3.

[0048] When collecting materials: Start the drive motor B51 to drive the rotating rod 43 to rotate counterclockwise until the connecting plate 44 drives the residual material baffle 5 to abut against the inner rear wall of the guide chute 4.

[0049] Start the drive motor 14 to rotate counterclockwise, the roller 13 rotates to the left to wind up the belt 3, and the roller 21 rotates to the left to facilitate the movement of the belt 3 to the left through the traction rope 34, connecting plate 31, etc.

[0050] The leftward movement of belt 3 causes the remaining hay to move to the left as well. When the hay moves to the residual material baffle 5, it is restricted by the contact between the residual material baffle 5 and belt 3, causing the hay to remain on the right side of the residual material baffle 5 until belt 3 moves to the connecting plate 31 and contacts the residual material baffle 5. At this time, drive motor B51 is started to rotate clockwise, pushing the hay into the residual material trough 6.

[0051] After feeding, remove the hook 33 from the connecting plate 31 so that the belt 3 and the traction rope 34 are both wound around the corresponding roller 13.

[0052] When there is a lot of straw left on the belt 3, some of the straw located at the waste material baffle 5 can be pushed into the waste material trough 6 by the rotation of the waste material baffle 5. When pushing, the drive motor 14 pauses to keep the belt 3 stationary. After being pushed into the waste material trough 6, the waste material baffle 5 returns to the position where it abuts against the rear wall of the guide trough 4. The drive motor 14 is then restarted to make the belt 3 move the straw towards the waste material baffle 5.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
