Outdoor chicken farming produces high-quality chickens, but it is more difficult to manage, especially feeding them. Too much feed is wasted as the chickens will trample and scratch at it. Too little feed means the chickens won't get enough to eat, requiring frequent refeeding. Currently, most outdoor chicken farms still use traditional feed supply methods, where farmers manually carry and pour feed into the troughs. This method is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an outdoor chicken feed supply device to solve the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an outdoor chicken feed supply device, including a feed trough, a storage bin above the feed trough, and multiple feed pipes at the bottom of the storage bin. The multiple feed pipes are spaced apart along the length of the feed trough, and the feed pipes are located inside the feed trough. A switching baffle is provided at the bottom of the feed pipes, which can block all the feed pipes at the same time.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an outdoor chicken feed supply device includes a feed trough 1, a storage bin 2 above the feed trough 1, and multiple feed pipes 3 at the bottom of the storage bin 2. The feed pipes 3 are spaced apart along the length of the feed trough 1, and their feeding positions are located within the feed trough 1. A switching baffle 4 is positioned at the bottom of each feed pipe 3, capable of simultaneously blocking all feed pipes 3. The switching baffle 4 has a degree of freedom to move horizontally, allowing it to separate from the feed pipes 3 and enabling normal feed flow. Moving the switching baffle 4 cuts... The baffle 4 separates from the feed pipe 3, allowing multiple feed pipes 3 to open and feed the chickens simultaneously into the feed trough 1. This results in high feed dispensing efficiency. Furthermore, the multiple feed pipes 3 feed the chickens along the length of the feed trough 1, creating a larger feed dispensing area and preventing the chickens from competing for food. After feeding is complete, the baffle 4 is reset to block the feed pipes 3. Then, the chicken cage is opened, allowing the chickens to feed. This eliminates the need for frequent manual handling and dumping of feed, significantly reducing manpower and greatly improving feed supply efficiency.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sealing gasket 15 is provided on the top surface of the switching baffle 4. The sealing gasket 15 is in a compressed state and contacts the feed pipe 3. Several small holes 16 are provided on the switching baffle 4 to avoid the feed pipe 3. The gap between the switching baffle 4 and the feed pipe 3 is eliminated by the sealing gasket 15, so as to prevent rainwater from entering the storage tank 2 through the feed pipe 3. The small holes 16 help rainwater to drain from the switching baffle 4.

[0026] Furthermore, the feed storage bin 2 is made of transparent material, and the top of the feed storage bin 2 has a feeding port with a screw-fitted cap. Farmers can directly observe the amount of feed remaining inside and open the cap in time to replenish the feed, so as to avoid the chickens' growth being affected by a lack of feed.

[0027] Example 3

[0028] Based on Example 2, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, an electric push rod 5 is installed on the side wall of the storage bin 2. The telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 5 is connected to a connecting rod 6. The connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the switching baffle 4. The electric push rod 5 drives the switching baffle 4 to move, thereby realizing automatic feeding. However, it is necessary to arrange the wires of the electric push rod 5.

[0029] Example 4

[0030] Based on Example 3, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a telescopic rod is connected to the side wall of the feed hopper 2. The telescopic rod is horizontally set, and an installation block 7 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod away from the feed hopper 2. The installation block 7 is fixed to the top of the switching baffle 4. A spring 8 is sleeved on the telescopic rod. The two ends of the spring 8 are connected to the installation block 7 and the feed hopper 2, respectively. A pull wire 9 is connected to the end of the switching baffle 4 away from the feed hopper 2. Pulling the pull wire 9 over a distance causes the switching baffle 4 to stretch the spring 8 and move, so that the switching baffle 4 is separated from the feed pipe 3, realizing the supply of feed to the chickens. When the feeding is completed, the pull wire 9 is released, and the switching baffle 4 is reset under the reaction force of the spring 8, thereby blocking the feed pipe 3. The feeding is purely mechanical and no wiring is required.

[0031] Furthermore, the telescopic rod includes a fixed rod 10 and a sliding rod 11. One end of the fixed rod 10 is connected to the storage tank 2, and the other end is slidably connected to the sliding rod 11. The end of the sliding rod 11 away from the fixed rod 10 is connected to the mounting block 7. One end of the fixed rod 10 has a small diameter hole 12 and a large diameter hole 13 sequentially opened along the direction close to the storage tank 2. A limiting plate 14 is slidably adapted in the large diameter hole 13. The sliding rod 11 is slidably adapted to the small diameter hole 12, and the sliding rod 11 is connected to the limiting plate 14. The limiting plate 14 cannot move out of the small diameter hole 12, thus preventing the sliding rod 11 from detaching from the fixed rod 10.
