The control unit includes a PLC controller, a solenoid valve, a liquid level sensor, and a timer. The solenoid valve is installed on the ear plate and connected to both the inlet and supply pipes. However, liquid feed is prone to sedimentation during static periods, causing the dissolved substances in the liquid feed to flow out first, clogging the pipes and affecting feeding. At the same time, the inside of the feeding trough is not easy to clean, and the presence of feed residue can easily breed bacteria, affecting the health of livestock. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-clogging liquid feed supplementation device that can stir liquid feed, avoid pipeline blockage caused by dissolved substances, facilitate cleaning, and improve practicality.

[0004] This utility model discloses an anti-clogging liquid feed supplementation device, comprising a storage tank, a feed trough, a connecting component, a stirring component, and a discharging component. The storage tank and the feed trough are connected by the connecting component. The top of the storage tank has a feeding port, and the output end of the storage tank is connected to the inside of the feed trough through the discharging component. A stirring component is installed inside the storage tank. The liquid feed required for one day is added to the storage tank through the feeding port. The liquid feed is fed into the feed trough in a timed and quantitative manner through the discharging component. The stirring component can stir the liquid feed in the storage tank to prevent sedimentation during static periods, which would cause the dissolved substances in the liquid feed to flow out first, causing pipeline blockage and affecting feeding.

[0005] Preferably, the feeding component includes a feeding pipe, a solenoid valve, a height sensor, a protective box, and a controller. The input end of the feeding pipe is connected to the inside of the storage tank, and a solenoid valve is installed on the feeding pipe. The output end of the feeding pipe is connected to the inside of the feed trough, and a height sensor is installed at the front end of the feed trough. The protective box is installed on the outer wall of the storage tank, and the controller is installed inside the protective box. The solenoid valve and the height sensor are electrically connected to the controller. The controller is set with time and quantity. After the preset time is reached, the solenoid valve is opened, and liquid feed is fed into the feed trough through the feeding pipe. When the liquid level reaches the height sensor, the solenoid valve is closed, stopping the feeding. This enables timed and quantitative feeding, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves work efficiency. At the same time, the protective box protects the controller, making it suitable for outdoor use.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting component includes two connecting rods and two upright legs. The connecting rods are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bottom front end of the storage box, and the bottom of the connecting rods is connected to the material trough. The upright legs are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bottom rear end of the storage box, and a connecting rod is provided between the upright legs and the connecting rods. When in use, the material trough is placed on the ground, and the storage box is supported by the connecting rods and upright legs, which improves the connection strength and ensures the stability during use.

[0007] Preferably, the stirring component includes a drive motor, a rotating shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, two sets of mounting rods, and multiple scrapers. The bottom of the storage tank is semi-circular. The drive motor is mounted on the left side wall of the storage tank, and the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the storage tank. The output end of the drive motor passes through the side wall of the storage tank and connects to the input end of the rotating shaft. Multiple stirring blades are evenly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and multiple mounting rods are axially installed at both ends of the rotating shaft. A scraper is installed between two mounting rods on the left and right sides. The scraper slides in contact with the lower side wall of the storage tank, and multiple round holes are opened on the scraper. When the drive motor is started, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blades to rotate, stirring the liquid feed inside the storage tank. At the same time, the stirring blades drive the scrapers to rotate through the mounting rods, scraping the lower side wall of the storage tank to prevent sedimentation during the static period, which would cause the dissolved substances in the liquid feed to flow out first and cause pipeline blockage.

[0008] Preferably, the system also includes a feeding frame, a feeding pipe, and a third liquid level sensor. The feeding frame is installed at the feeding port on the top of the storage tank, and the feeding frame is covered with a dust cover. The feeding pipe is installed on the top of the storage tank behind the feeding frame, and the third liquid level sensor is installed on the upper side of the left side wall of the storage tank. Liquid feed can be poured into the storage tank through the feeding frame, and feed can be added to the storage tank when there is a feed pipeline.

The second liquid level sensor can detect the liquid level at the bottom of the feed trough and issue an alert when the feed is not finished, so that the staff can react in time and avoid livestock epidemics. Connecting the flushing pipe to the flushing water pipe can flush the inside of the feed trough and discharge it to the outside through the drain pipe, which facilitates cleaning of the feed trough and makes it convenient to use.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the liquid feed required for feeding each day is added to the storage tank through the feeding port, the liquid feed is fed into the feed trough in a timed and quantitative manner through the feeding component, and the liquid feed in the storage tank can be stirred by the stirring component to prevent sedimentation during the static period, which would cause the dissolved substances in the liquid feed to flow out first, causing pipeline blockage and affecting feeding.

[0018] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete. Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the input end of the feeding pipe 3 is connected to the inside of the storage tank 1. A solenoid valve 4 is installed on the feeding pipe 3. The output end of the feeding pipe 3 is connected to the inside of the material trough 2. A height sensor 5 is installed at the front end of the inside of the material trough 2. A protective box 7 is installed on the outer wall of the storage tank 1. A controller 8 is installed inside the protective box 7. The solenoid valve 4 and the height sensor 5 are electrically connected to the controller 8. Connecting rods 9 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bottom front end of the storage tank 1. The bottom of the connecting rods 9 is connected to the material trough 2. Vertical legs 10 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bottom rear end of the storage tank 1. The vertical legs 10 are connected to the connecting rods 9. A connecting rod is provided between the rods 9. The bottom of the storage box 1 is set as a semi-circle. The drive motor 14 is installed on the left side wall of the storage box 1. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably installed inside the storage box 1. The output end of the drive motor 14 passes through the side wall of the storage box 1 and is connected to the input end of the rotating shaft 15. Multiple stirring blades 16 are evenly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 15. Multiple mounting rods 17 are axially installed at the left and right ends of the rotating shaft 15. A scraper 18 is installed between the two mounting rods 17 on the left and right sides. The scraper 18 slides in contact with the lower side wall of the storage box 1. Multiple round holes are opened on the scraper 18.

[0020] When in use, the feed trough 2 is placed on the ground, and the storage tank 1 is supported by the connecting rod 9 and the upright leg 10, which improves the connection strength and ensures the stability during use. The liquid feed required for one day is added to the storage tank 1 through the feed inlet. The time and quantity are set on the controller 8. After the preset time is reached, the control solenoid valve 4 is opened, and the liquid feed is input into the feed trough 2 through the feed pipe 3. After the liquid level reaches the height sensor 5, the control solenoid valve 4 is closed to stop feeding. This enables timed and quantitative feeding, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves work efficiency. At the same time, the protective box 7 can protect the controller 8, making it convenient for outdoor use. The drive motor 14 is started to drive the rotating shaft 15 to rotate. The rotating shaft 15 drives the stirring blade 16 to rotate, which stirs the liquid feed inside the storage tank 1. At the same time, the stirring blade 16 drives the scraper 18 to rotate through the mounting rod 17, which scrapes the lower side wall of the storage tank 1 to prevent sedimentation during the static period, which would cause the dissolved substances in the liquid feed to flow out first and cause pipeline blockage. Example 2

[0021] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, based on embodiment 1, it also includes a feeding frame 11 installed at the top of the feeding port of the storage tank 1, a dust cover installed on the top of the feeding frame 11, a feeding pipe 12 installed on the top of the storage tank 1 behind the feeding frame 11, a third liquid level sensor 13 installed on the upper side of the left side wall of the storage tank 1, a placement slot opened on the top of the material trough 2, a cover plate 19 located in the placement slot, a plurality of eating openings opened on the top of the cover plate 19, handles 20 installed on the left and right ends of the top of the cover plate 19, a rinsing pipe 21 installed on the upper end of the left side wall of the material trough 2, a V-shaped groove set at the bottom of the material trough 2, a drain pipe 22 installed on the lower end of the right side wall of the material trough 2, and a second liquid level sensor 6 installed in the V-shaped groove and electrically connected to the controller 8.

[0022] Liquid feed can be poured into the storage tank 1 through the feed box 11, and feed pipe 12 can add feed to the storage tank 1 when there is a feed pipeline. The third liquid level sensor 13 can detect the highest liquid level in the storage tank 1 to prevent liquid feed from overflowing and causing waste when adding feed. When feeding poultry such as chickens and ducks, the cover plate 19 can be placed in the placement slot on the top of the feed trough 2 through the handle 20 to protect the top of the feed trough 2 and prevent chickens and ducks from entering the feed trough 2 and contaminating the liquid feed, which would also affect the feeding efficiency. The second liquid level sensor 6 can detect the liquid level at the bottom of the feed trough 2 and issue an alert when the feed is not finished, so that the staff can react in time and prevent the occurrence of livestock epidemics. The flushing pipe 21 can be connected to the flushing water pipe to flush the inside of the feed trough 2 and discharge it to the outside through the drain pipe 22, which is convenient for cleaning the feed trough 2 and convenient for use.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model discloses an anti-clogging liquid feed supplementation device. During operation, the feed trough 2 is placed on the ground, supported by the connecting rod 9 and the upright leg 10. The feed frame 11 pours liquid feed into the storage tank 1, and the feed pipe 12 adds feed to the storage tank 1 when a feed pipeline is available. A third liquid level sensor 13 detects the highest liquid level in the storage tank 1 to prevent overflow during feeding. The drive motor 14 is activated, driving the rotating shaft 15 to rotate. The rotating shaft 15 drives the stirring blade 16 to rotate, stirring the liquid feed inside the storage tank 1. Simultaneously, the stirring blade 16 drives the scraper 18 to rotate via the mounting rod 17, agitating the lower sidewall of the storage tank 1. The scraping mechanism prevents sedimentation during static periods, which could cause liquid feed to overflow and block the pipeline. The controller 8 sets the time and quantity; upon reaching the preset time, the solenoid valve 4 opens, allowing liquid feed to be fed into the feed trough 2 via the feed pipe 3. Once the liquid level reaches the height sensor 5, the solenoid valve 4 closes, stopping the feed. This allows for timed and quantitative feeding. When feeding poultry such as chickens and ducks, the cover plate 19 is placed in the placement slot at the top of the feed trough 2 using the handle 20 to protect the top of the feed trough 2 and prevent chickens and ducks from entering and contaminating the liquid feed. Connecting the flushing pipe 21 to the flushing water pipe allows for rinsing the inside of the feed trough 2, with the water discharged through the drain pipe 22.
