Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for animal feed troughs used in animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] When feeding animals using existing feed troughs, the fixed structure of the feed troughs prevents them from automatically feeding. As a result, the feeder needs to manually add feed to the trough multiple times at specific times. This manual feeding process is time-consuming and laborious, greatly increasing the workload of the feeder and resulting in low feeding efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, in response to the problem that feeders need to manually add feed to the feed trough at specific times and multiple times, which is time-consuming and laborious, greatly increases the workload of feeders, and has low feeding efficiency, a gravity and spring linkage control system is adopted. The spring is compressed or rebounded according to the weight of the feed itself, thereby driving the control head to trigger the control switch. The feed is then transported through the transport structure, thus realizing automatic feeding of the feed trough. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem that when feeding animals using feed troughs, the fixed structure of the feed troughs prevents them from automatically feeding, requiring the feeder to manually add feed to the troughs multiple times at specific times. This manual feeding process is time-consuming and laborious, greatly increasing the workload of the feeder and resulting in low feeding efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automatic feeding device for animal feed troughs for livestock, including a storage box and a transport bin. The top surface of the storage box has a feed inlet, and the side surface of the storage box has a discharge outlet. The transport bin is located on the side of the storage box, and the side surface of the transport bin has a transport outlet. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the transport bin, and a contact switch is electrically connected to the bottom surface of the discharge pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the transport bin and the storage bin are welded and fixed on the side near the discharge port, the transport port is opened on the bottom side of the transport bin, the discharge port is connected to the transport port, and the discharge pipe is set on the top side of the transport bin and is connected to the transport bin.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the storage box is fixedly connected to a guide sloping seat, the top surface of the storage box is provided with a protective cover, the protective cover is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge port, and a handle is welded and fixed to the top surface of the protective cover.

[0008] Preferably, a transport motor is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transport compartment by bolts, a transport shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the transport motor, the bottom end of the transport shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the transport compartment, and a spiral conveyor blade is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transport shaft.

[0009] Preferably, a fixed base is welded and fixed to the bottom of the transport compartment near the discharge pipe. A support spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed base. The support springs are equidistantly and alternately distributed inside the fixed base. A control switch is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed base.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixed base is slidably connected to a feeding trough, the bottom surface of the feeding trough is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting spring, the inner wall of the feeding trough is fixedly connected to a guide plate, and an abutment head is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the feeding trough.

[0011] Preferably, a storage bin is welded and fixed to the top surface of the feeding trough, the top of the storage bin is slidably connected to the end of the discharge pipe, and a control head is fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage bin.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. When the feed in the storage bin is insufficient, the elastic force of the support spring will push the feeding trough and storage bin upward, thereby pushing the control head to contact the contact switch, and then controlling the transport motor to start running. The transport motor drives the transport shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the screw conveyor blade to rotate, lifting the feed from the transport port to the discharge pipe and transporting it to the storage bin for storage, thus realizing continuous and uniform vertical transport of feed.

[0014] 2. During continuous feeding, as the feed gradually increases, the feed's own weight overcomes the elasticity of the support spring, pushing the feeding trough and storage bin downwards within the fixed base. This compresses the support spring, thereby pushing the contact head to activate the control switch, stopping the transport motor and automatically stopping the feeding process. The feed stored in the storage bin flows through the guide plate into the feeding trough, ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed within the trough for the animals to use.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment: an automatic feeding device for animal feed troughs for livestock, including a storage box 1 and a transport bin 4. The top surface of the storage box 1 is provided with a feed inlet 2, and the side surface of the storage box 1 is provided with a discharge outlet 3. The transport bin 4 is located on the side surface of the storage box 1, and the side surface of the transport bin 4 is provided with a transport outlet 5. A discharge pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the transport bin 4, and a contact switch 7 is electrically connected to the bottom surface of the discharge pipe 6.

[0023] The transport bin 4 is welded and fixed to the storage bin 1 on the side near the discharge port 3. The transport port 5 is opened on the bottom side of the transport bin 4. The discharge port 3 is connected to the transport port 5. The discharge pipe 6 is set on the top side of the transport bin 4. The discharge pipe 6 is connected to the transport bin 4. The feed in the storage bin 1 is transported into the transport bin 4 through the discharge port 3 by gravity. The through design of the transport port 5 and the discharge port 3 ensures that the material is transferred without obstruction. The feed can be automatically fed when the feed is insufficient by the contact switch 7.

[0024] A guide sloping seat 101 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1. A protective cover 102 is provided on the top surface of the storage box 1. The protective cover 102 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge port 3. A handle 103 is welded and fixed to the top surface of the protective cover 102. The handle 103 makes it easy to open the protective cover 102, so that feed can be added to the storage box 1 through the feed inlet 2. The protective cover 102 prevents dust and other impurities from entering the storage box 1 and contaminating the feed. The guide sloping seat 101 makes it easy for the feed in the storage box 1 to automatically slide down to the discharge port 3.

[0025] A transport motor 401 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transport bin 4 by bolts. A transport shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the transport motor 401. The bottom end of the transport shaft 402 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the transport bin 4. A spiral conveyor blade 403 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transport shaft 402. The transport motor 401 drives the transport shaft 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral conveyor blade 403 to rotate, lifting the feed from the transport port 5 to the discharge pipe 6 and transporting it into the storage bin 507, thus realizing continuous and uniform vertical transport of feed.

[0026] A fixed base 501 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the transport bin 4 near the discharge pipe 6. A support spring 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed base 501. The support springs 502 are evenly distributed and staggered inside the fixed base 501. A control switch 503 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed base 501. The elastic force of the support springs 502 is used to provide support for the feeding trough 504 and the storage bin 507. The control switch 503 can control the transport motor 401 to stop running after the material is full, thereby stopping the feeding.

[0027] A feeding trough 504 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed base 501. The bottom surface of the feeding trough 504 is fixedly connected to the top of the support spring 502. A guide plate 505 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough 504. An abutment head 506 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the feeding trough 504. The feed stored in the storage bin 507 flows into the feeding trough 504 through the guide plate 505, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the feeding trough 504 for the animals to use. During the feeding process, the feeding trough 504 is pushed downward in the fixed base 501 by the gravity of the feed, thereby pushing the abutment head 506 to abut the control switch 503, thereby stopping the feeding device.

[0028] A storage bin 507 is welded and fixed to the top surface of the feeding trough 504. The top of the storage bin 507 is slidably connected to the end of the discharge pipe 6. A control head 508 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage bin 507. When the feed in the storage bin 507 is insufficient, the elastic force of the support spring 502 will push the storage bin 507 to move upward, thereby pushing the control head 508 to contact the contact switch 7, and thus enabling the device to feed.

[0029] Working principle: According to Figures 1-3 As shown, when working, the protective cover 102 is opened by the handle 103, which makes it easy to add feed into the storage box 1 through the feed inlet 2. The protective cover 102 prevents dust and other impurities from entering the storage box 1 and contaminating the feed. The feed stored in the storage box 1 is naturally slid to the discharge port 3 under the action of gravity by the inclined surface design of the guide sloping seat 101, and enters the transport bin 4 through the transport port 5.

[0030] according to Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 As shown, when the feed in the storage bin 507 is insufficient, the elastic force of the support spring 502 will push the feeding trough 504 and the storage bin 507 to move upward, thereby pushing the control head 508 to contact the contact switch 7, and then controlling the transport motor 401 to start running. The transport motor 401 drives the transport shaft 402 to rotate, which drives the screw conveyor blade 403 to rotate, lifting the feed from the transport port 5 to the discharge pipe 6, and transporting it to the storage bin 507 for storage, thus realizing continuous and uniform vertical transport of feed.

[0031] according to Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 As shown, during continuous feeding, as the feed gradually increases, the feed's own weight overcomes the elasticity of the support spring 502, pushing the feeding trough 504 and the storage bin 507 downwards within the fixed base 501, compressing the support spring 502. This pushes the contact head 506 to contact the control switch 503, controlling the transport motor 401 to stop operating, thus automatically stopping the feeding process. The feed stored in the storage bin 507 flows into the feeding trough 504 through the guide plate 505, ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed within the feeding trough 504 for the animals to use.

[0032] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
