Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed dispensing, and more specifically, to an automatic feed dispensing device for feed yards. Background Technology
[0002] Feed is a general term for the food that all animals raised by humans consume.
[0003] In the past, when feed was manually fed or when simple mechanical feeding equipment was used in feed yards, the distribution of feed in the feed troughs was extremely uneven. Feed often piled up in a few places in the feed trough, such as in the corners or near the feeding opening. This caused some animals to overeat because they occupied the concentrated feed area, while other animals suffered from insufficient feeding, which affected their growth and development.
[0004] Therefore, an automatic feed dispensing device for feed yards is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feed dispensing device for feed farms to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] 2. Technical Solution
[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0009] An automatic feed dispensing device for a feed yard includes a base and a storage bin. A slide bar is slidably connected inside the base. A mounting plate is fixedly connected above the slide bar. Eight springs are fixedly connected above the mounting plate. The eight springs are arranged in an equidistant circular array above the mounting plate. A feed trough is fixedly connected above the eight springs. A toothed ring is fixedly connected inside the mounting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a rotating rod is rotatably connected above the base, and a bevel gear and a drive gear are fixedly connected at the upper and lower ends of the rotating rod, respectively, with the drive gear meshing with the gear ring.
[0011] Furthermore, a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base, the middle part of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, a conveying cylinder is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame, and a discharge port is opened on the lower side of one side of the conveying cylinder, the discharge port being located above the feed trough.
[0012] Furthermore, a spiral conveying roller is rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder, and another bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral conveying roller located outside the conveying cylinder, with the two bevel gears meshing.
[0013] Furthermore, a cam is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, and the cam is located on one side of the feed trough.
[0014] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveying cylinder, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral conveying roller.
[0015] Furthermore, a storage tank is fixedly connected above the conveying cylinder.
[0016] 3. Beneficial effects
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) In this scheme, the motor starts and drives the spiral conveying roller and the rotating rod to rotate. When the rotating rod rotates, the drive gear below it rotates synchronously. Because the module and pressure angle of the drive gear and the inner tooth ring of the mounting plate are precisely matched, the two mesh tightly. Therefore, the drive gear drives the tooth ring and the mounting plate to rotate synchronously. The feed trough is connected to the mounting plate through eight equidistant circumferentially distributed springs, which rotate together. During the rotation, the feed falling from the outlet will be evenly dispersed in different positions in the trough with the circumferential movement of the feed trough, avoiding the concentrated accumulation of feed. When the circular feed trough rotates once, the feed can cover a large area of the bottom of the trough relatively evenly, which greatly optimizes the initial distribution state of the feed in the trough and provides a more balanced feed distribution environment for the animals to eat later.
[0019] (2) In this scheme, the motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the cam rotates accordingly. During the rotation, the protruding part of the cam continuously collides with one side of the feed trough and performs periodic knocking. Under the elastic support of eight springs, the feed trough generates small-amplitude high-frequency vibration, which can make the feed evenly distributed in the trough and break up clumps. It is especially effective for powdered feed, which can ensure that animals have balanced nutrition when eating and is conducive to healthy growth and development. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example:
[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 An automatic feed dispensing device for a feed yard includes a base 1 and a storage bin 13. A slide bar 2 is slidably connected inside the base 1. An mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected above the slide bar 2. Eight springs 23 are fixedly connected above the mounting plate 21. The eight springs 23 are arranged in an equidistant circular array above the mounting plate 21. A feed trough 24 is fixedly connected above the eight springs 23. A toothed ring 22 is fixedly connected inside the mounting plate 21. In this design, when the mounting plate 21 rotates above the base 1, it will drive the feed trough 24 to rotate.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 A rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected above the base 1. A bevel gear 17 and a drive gear 19 are fixedly connected at the top and bottom of the rotating rod 16, respectively. The drive gear 19 meshes with the gear ring 22. In this design, when the rotating rod 16 drives the drive gear 19 to rotate, it will cause the mounting plate 21 to rotate.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 A mounting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The middle part of the rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 11. A conveying cylinder 12 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 11. A discharge port 191 is opened on the lower side of one side of the conveying cylinder 12. The discharge port 191 is located above the feed trough 24.
[0033] Please see Figure 1-4 The conveying cylinder 12 is rotatably connected to a spiral conveying roller 14. Another bevel gear 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral conveying roller 14 located outside the conveying cylinder 12. The two bevel gears 17 mesh, and under the action of the two bevel gears 17, when the spiral conveying roller 14 rotates, it will drive the rotating rod 16 to rotate.
[0034] Please see Figure 1-4 A cam 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 16. The cam 18 is located on one side of the feed trough 24. In this design, the feed trough 24 is connected to the mounting plate 21 by eight equidistantly distributed springs 23 in a circular array. The cam 18 fixed to the outer wall of the rotating rod 16 is located on one side of the feed trough 24. When the motor 15 operates and drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate, the cam 18 rotates accordingly and continuously taps the feed trough 24. Under the tapping of the cam 18, the feed trough 24 will produce small-amplitude vibrations, which will promote the even distribution of feed within the feed trough 24.
[0035] Please see Figure 1-4 A motor 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveying cylinder 12. The output end of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral conveying roller 14. When the motor 15 starts, it will simultaneously drive the spiral conveying roller 14 and the rotating rod 16 to rotate.
[0036] Please see Figure 1-4A storage bin 13 is fixedly connected above the conveying cylinder 12. In this design, the integrated design of the storage bin 13 and the conveying cylinder 12 allows the feed stored in the storage bin 13 to fall naturally into the conveying cylinder 12 by gravity. Subsequently, driven by the motor 15, the spiral conveying roller 14 rotates continuously. With the pushing action of the spiral blades, the feed is quickly and stably conveyed along the axial direction of the conveying cylinder 12 to the discharge port 191 and falls into the feed trough 24. When the motor 15 starts, it will simultaneously drive the spiral conveying roller 14 and the rotating rod 16 to rotate. When the rotating rod 16 rotates, the mounting plate 21 and the feed trough 24 will both rotate due to the meshing between the drive gear 19 and the gear ring 22. When the feed trough 24 rotates, the feed falling from the discharge port 191 can be evenly distributed inside the feed trough 24. In addition, when the motor 15 runs and drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate, the cam 18 will rotate accordingly. The cam 18 will continuously tap the feed trough 24. Under the tapping of the cam 18, the feed trough 24 will produce a small amplitude vibration, which will promote the even distribution of feed inside the feed trough 24.
[0037] Working principle: The storage hopper 13 and the conveying cylinder 12 adopt an innovative integrated design, which creates a smooth feed transmission channel. The feed stored in the storage hopper 13 can fall smoothly and naturally into the conveying cylinder 12 below along the preset path due to its own gravity.
[0038] When the motor 15 starts running, its output shaft is tightly connected to the screw conveyor roller 14 by a coupling, providing continuous and stable power to the screw conveyor roller 14, so that it rotates continuously at a constant speed inside the conveyor cylinder 12. The screw blades tightly wound on the screw conveyor roller 14 can push the feed falling into the conveyor cylinder 12 along the axial direction of the conveyor cylinder 12 at a fast and stable speed to the discharge port 191 during the rotation. After the feed reaches the discharge port 191, it will fall directly into the feed trough 24 below under the action of gravity.
[0039] It is worth mentioning that after the motor 15 starts, it will simultaneously drive the spiral conveying roller 14 and the rotating rod 16 to rotate. When the rotating rod 16 rotates, the drive gear 19 fixedly connected below it will rotate synchronously. Since the drive gear 19 meshes with the toothed ring 22 fixed inside the mounting plate 21, and the module and pressure angle of the two are precisely matched, the rotation of the drive gear 19 can accurately drive the toothed ring 22 and the mounting plate 21 connected to it to rotate synchronously. The feed trough 24 is firmly connected to the mounting plate 21 above by eight equidistant circular array springs 23. Therefore, the feed trough 24 will also rotate with the mounting plate 21. During the rotation of the feed trough 24, the feed falling from the discharge port 191 will be evenly dispersed in different positions of the feed trough 24 with the circumferential movement of the feed trough 24, effectively avoiding the situation where the feed is concentrated in one place. For example, in a circular feed trough 24, when the feed trough 24 rotates once, the initial distribution uniformity of the feed in the feed trough 24 is improved.
[0040] Furthermore, when the motor 15 drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate, the cam 18 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 16 will also rotate accordingly. During the rotation, its protruding part will continuously collide with one side of the feed trough 24, periodically tapping the feed trough 24. Under the tapping of the cam 18, the feed trough 24 will generate a small amplitude but high frequency vibration under the elastic support of the eight springs 23. This vibration effect can further promote the even distribution of feed in the feed trough 24, effectively breaking up the possible clumping of feed in the trough, and fully dispersing the accumulated feed. For some powdery feed that is prone to moisture and clumping, after the vibration treatment of the cam 18, it is ensured that the animals can obtain relatively balanced nutrients from any position in the feed trough 24 when eating, providing a strong guarantee for the healthy growth and development of the animals.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
