When the positioning frame 12 is fully inserted into the positioning groove 11, the limiting block 14 is reset and inserted into the positioning frame 12 to achieve the limiting of the positioning frame 12.
[0025] A pressure rod 15 is provided at the bottom of the inside of the material barrel 1. A connecting arm 16 is movably provided in the middle of the pressure rod 15 through a pin. The top of the connecting arm 16 is connected to the bottom of the limiting block 14 through a pin. One end of the pressure rod 15 is located below the material trough 5. The pressure rod 15 can rotate when pressed down by the material trough 5, and drives the limiting block 14 to move through the connecting arm 16, so as to release the limitation on the positioning frame 12 and the baffle 8.
[0026] The other end of the pressure rod 15 is movably provided with a support 17 via a pin, and the support 17 is fixedly provided inside the bottom of the material barrel 1. A slide table 18 is slidably provided below the support 17. A spring rod 19 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the slide table 18. A movable seat 20 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the spring rod 19. The pressure rod 15 can rotate around the connection point with the support 17. The slide table 18, the spring rod 19 and the movable seat 20 can support the pressure rod 15. The pressure rod 15 forms a lever structure, and the slide table 18, the spring rod 19 and the movable seat 20 form the fulcrum of the lever structure.
[0027] A threaded groove 21 is provided through the middle of the movable seat 20. An adjusting screw 22 is provided inside the threaded groove 21, and one end of the adjusting screw 22 extends to the outside of the material barrel 1. A guide hole 23 is provided through the outside of the movable seat 20. A guide rod 24 is slidably provided inside the guide hole 23 and is fixedly provided inside the material barrel 1. The guide hole 23 and the guide rod 24 are used to limit the sliding range of the movable seat 20.
[0028] A pull rope 25 is fixedly installed at one end of the positioning frame 12, and one end of the pull rope 25 extends to the outside of the material barrel 1. The pull rope 25 can be pulled manually or by machine to pull the slide 9 and the baffle 8 so that the baffle 8 can release the blockage of the material pipe 3. When pulling through the pull rope 25, it is necessary to ensure that the positioning frame 12 at one end of the slide 9 is fully inserted into the positioning groove 11 and is limited by the limiting block 14.
[0029] Working principle of this utility model:
[0030] When this device is in use, the feed can be stored in the feed bin 2. When feeding, the positioning frame 12 and the slide 9 are moved by the pull rope 25. The slide 9 drives the baffle 8 to move, so that the baffle 8 moves into the slot 6. At this time, the feed in the feed bin 2 can fall into the feed trough 5 through the feed pipe 3. During this process, the positioning frame 12 is pulled into the positioning slot 11. Then, the limiting block 14 is inserted into the positioning frame 12 to limit the positioning frame 12, the slide 9 and the baffle 8. At this time, the feed can continue to fall into the interior of the feed trough 5.
[0031] After the feed enters the feed trough 5, the weight of the feed trough 5 increases, which applies downward pressure to one end of the pressure rod 15, causing one end of the pressure rod 15 to rotate around the support 17. The pressure rod 15 drives the limiting block 14 to move downward through the connecting arm 16, causing the limiting block 14 to slowly separate from the positioning frame 12. When the feed in the feed trough 5 reaches a certain amount, the pressure rod 15 moves downward to a certain range. At this time, the limiting block 14 separates from the positioning frame 12. At this time, the limiting of the positioning frame 12, the slide 9 and the baffle 8 is released. The slide 9 resets under the action of the spring. The slide 9 drives the baffle 8 to move, so that the baffle 8 is fully inserted into the feed pipe 3, blocking the feed pipe 3. At this time, the feeding stops, and the newly added feed and the remaining feed in the feed trough 5 reach a certain amount.
[0032] When feeding livestock with different feeding needs, by rotating the adjusting screw 22, the adjusting screw 22 cooperates with the threaded groove 21, so that the position of the movable seat 20 is adjusted. The movable seat 20 can drive the slide table 18 and the spring rod 19 to slide, so that the position of the fulcrum below the pressure rod 15 is adjusted. The adjustment of the fulcrum adjusts the length of the lever arm below the pressure rod 15, so that the pressure rod 15 moves downward until the limit block 14 releases the force on the positioning frame 12 within the required range. The corresponding downward pressure of the feed trough 5 on the pressure rod 15 is adjusted, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the feeding amount.
[0033] 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.
