[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic lamb feeding and nursing device, including a water supply system 1, a raw milk container 3, a heat exchanger 4, a mixing tank 5, and a powder buffer hopper 12.

[0030] The water supply system 1 is equipped with a water filter 17 and a dual-way water valve 2. The water supply system 1 has two branches at the end. One branch is equipped with a water flushing nozzle 15 at the end, and the other branch is connected to the top of the heat exchanger 4. The heat exchanger 4 is connected to the top of the mixing tank 5 through a pipeline.

[0031] The raw milk container 3 is connected to the bottom end of the spiral tube inside the heat exchanger 4 via a pipeline. A raw milk valve 10 and a raw milk pump 11 are installed in sequence near the end of the pipeline. The raw milk pump 11 provides power for the delivery of raw milk. The top end of the spiral tube is connected to the top of the inner cavity of the mixing tank 5 via a pipeline.

[0032] The powder buffer hopper 12 is used for quantitative addition of milk substitute powder, and the outlet of the powder buffer hopper 12 is located directly above the mixing tank 5.

[0033] A water bath heater 16 is installed around the bottom of the mixing tank 5. The water bath heater 16 can ensure that the goat milk in the mixing tank 5 and the milk pipe is kept constant within the range of 39℃±1℃.

[0034] The bottom of the inner cavity of the mixing tank 5 is equipped with a feed mixer 14, which is used to uniformly mix milk substitute powder and water. The bottom of the mixing tank 5 is connected to the nipple 6 through a milk pipe. A squeeze valve 7 is installed on the milk pipe, which is used to transport goat milk, milk substitute powder liquid or milk substitute powder and goat milk liquid in the mixing tank 5 to the nipple 6.

[0040] This invention has the advantage of high integration and can provide a mixed feeding mode, which can feed both goat milk and milk replacer, and can also mix milk replacer and goat milk for feeding.

[0041] When feeding goat milk, the goat milk is pumped sequentially to a heat exchanger and a mixing tank. The temperature in the mixing tank is controlled by a water bath heater, and the milk is finally fed through a nipple.

[0042] When feeding with milk replacer, the milk replacer is added from the powder buffer hopper into the mixing tank. Water is filtered and then enters the mixing tank. The milk replacer and water are mixed evenly by the feed mixer and the temperature is controlled by the water bath heater. Finally, the milk replacer is fed through a nipple.

[0043] When feeding milk replacer and goat milk together, milk replacer, water and goat milk are added to the mixing tank, mixed evenly by the feed mixer, and the temperature is controlled by the water bath heater. Finally, the milk replacer is fed through the nipple.

[0044] This invention can automatically clean nipples and mixing containers, effectively reducing the number of bacteria in milk and preventing external contamination.

[0045] This invention can be used to feed milk replacer powder through a nipple, while also allowing for simultaneous stirring and feeding. It can also be used to feed fresh milk, which can be heated and consumed at any time, with a suitable and constant temperature.
