[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment of a cattle feed dispensing device includes an installation block 1, a height adjustment component 2 on the top of the installation block 1, a distance adjustment component 3 on the top of the height adjustment component 2, and storage tanks 4 symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the distance adjustment component 3.

[0025] In use, the device can be fixed to a mobile vehicle or other mobile device by mounting block 1. The height adjustment component 2 adopts a hydraulic cylinder, the main function of which is to adjust the height of the entire distance adjustment component 3 and the storage tank 4. When facing feed troughs of different heights, the hydraulic cylinder can change its own length by extending and retracting, thereby driving the housing 31 and the connected storage tank 4 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the storage tank 4. In this way, it can adapt to feed troughs of different heights, solving the problem that existing devices cannot adapt to changes in feed trough height. The principle is to use the pressure change of the hydraulic oil inside the hydraulic cylinder to push the piston rod to extend and retract, thereby realizing height adjustment.

[0026] The distance adjustment component 3 includes a housing 31. The telescopic end of the height adjustment component 2 is fixedly installed with the housing 31. A motor 32 is fixedly installed on the front side of the housing 31. The output shaft of the motor 32 extends into the interior of the housing 31 and is fixedly connected to a circular gear 33. The top and bottom of the circular gear 33 are meshed with elongated racks 34. Both elongated racks 34 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 31.

[0027] The distance adjustment component 3 can adjust the distance between the two storage tanks 4 to accommodate feed troughs with different spacing. Motor 32 is the power source. When motor 32 starts, its output shaft drives the circular gear 33 to rotate. Since the circular gear 33 meshes with the elongated racks 34 at the top and bottom, the rotation of the circular gear 33 is converted into relative movement of the two elongated racks 34; that is, one elongated rack 34 moves to the left and the other moves to the right, or vice versa, thereby changing the distance between the two storage tanks 4. The two elongated racks 34 interact with the housing 31... The sliding connection on the inner wall ensures the stability of their movement. The openings on the left and right sides of the housing 31 provide a channel for the movement of the elongated rack 34, enabling the elongated rack 34 to smoothly drive the storage tank 4 to move. The cooperation of the guide block 35 and the guide groove 36 further enhances the guidance and stability of the movement of the elongated rack 34, preventing the elongated rack 34 from deviating or getting stuck during movement. This distance adjustment method is simple to operate and precise to adjust, and can quickly adapt to feed troughs with different spacing, solving the problem that existing devices cannot adapt to changes in feed trough spacing.

[0028] The storage tank 4 is used to store feed and feed it into the feed trough. The storage section 41 is the space for storing feed, and the discharge section 42 is responsible for discharging the feed. The second motor 43 provides power for the discharge of feed. When the second motor 43 starts, its output shaft drives the rotating rod 44 to rotate. The stirring blades 45 on the rotating rod 44 rotate in the storage section 41, which can stir the feed, prevent the feed from clumping, and ensure the fluidity of the feed. The vertical rod 46 at the bottom of the rotating rod 44 rotates together with the rotating rod 44. The auger blades 45 on the outer surface of the vertical rod 46 7 rotates within the discharge section 42, pushing the feed in the storage section 41 to the discharge port. The metering valve 48 at the discharge port of the discharge section 42 can control the amount of feed added. The amount to be added each time can be set as needed to achieve precise feeding and avoid feed waste. The feeding hopper 49 on the top of the storage tank 4 makes it convenient to add feed into the storage section 41. The cover can prevent dust and debris from entering the storage tank 4 and contaminating the feed. The observation port and digital bar on the front of the storage tank 4 make it easy for staff to observe the remaining amount of feed in the storage section 41 and add feed in a timely manner.

[0029] When feed needs to be added, firstly, adjust the height of the storage tank 4 according to the height of the feed trough using the height adjustment component 2, so that the discharge port of the storage tank 4 matches the height of the feed trough. Then, according to the spacing of the feed troughs, start motor 1 32 and adjust the distance between the two storage tanks 4 using the distance adjustment component 3, so that the two storage tanks 4 correspond to different feed troughs respectively. After that, start motor 2 43, and the rotating rod 44 drives the stirring blade 45 to stir the feed. At the same time, the auger blade 47 on the vertical rod 46 pushes the feed to the discharge port. The feeding amount is controlled by the metering valve 48 to complete the feed addition.

[0030] In summary, this cattle feed dispensing device, through the telescopic action of the height adjustment component 2, can flexibly change the height of the storage tank 4, solving the problem that existing devices cannot adapt to changes in the height of the feed trough. It can meet the height requirements of feed troughs in cattle farms with different layouts such as single-row and double-row. The distance adjustment component 3 can adjust the distance between the two storage tanks 4, solving the problem that existing devices cannot cope with differences in feed trough spacing, and can be adapted to cattle farm layouts of various specifications.

[0031] Furthermore, the stirring blades 45 inside the storage tank 4 can stir the feed to prevent clumping, and the auger blades 47 can smoothly push the feed. Together with the metering valve 48, the feed can be accurately metered and dispensed, reducing waste.
