Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy farming technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding and watering device for dairy farming. Background Technology
[0002] In modern large-scale cattle farming, ensuring adequate water and nutrient supply to the herd is key to improving growth efficiency. However, traditional manual feeding and watering methods have significant drawbacks. First, they rely on manual operation, which is inefficient and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale farming. Second, the ratio of feed to water is difficult to control, easily leading to feed waste and unbalanced nutrient intake in dairy cows. Furthermore, the lack of intelligent monitoring and control means that farmers cannot keep track of the feeding situation in real time, making the operation inconvenient and unable to meet the requirements of modern scientific farming.

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding and watering device for dairy cows, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An automatic feeding and watering device for dairy cows includes a base frame and a water storage tank. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the lower right end of the base frame, and a feeding device is fixedly connected to the rear end of the fixing plate. An anti-fall plate is inserted into the upper right end of the base frame. An operation key is provided on the right side of the outer surface of the water storage tank, and an automatic water filling structure is fixedly connected to the upper right end of the water storage tank.
[0006] Preferably, the feeding device includes a driver, a belt, and a rotating column. The output end of the driver passes through the rear right side of the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to a first pulley. A second pulley is provided on the upper left side of the first pulley. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt drive. A connecting column is fixedly connected to the front end of the second pulley. The front end of the connecting column is movably connected to the base frame through a bearing. A feeding conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting column. The front left side of the feeding conveyor belt is movably connected to the base frame through the rotating column.
[0007] Preferably, the feeding conveyor belt does not contact the inner wall of the base frame, and the feeding conveyor belt does not contact the anti-fall plate.
[0008] Preferably, neither the second pulley nor the first pulley comes into contact with the anti-fall plate.
[0009] Preferably, a grille is fixedly connected to the upper front part of the base frame, a water box is fixedly connected to the lower front part of the base frame, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the upper right part of the water box, and the end of the connecting pipe away from the water box is fixedly connected to a water storage tank.
[0010] Preferably, the automatic water filling structure includes a small water storage tank, a connecting rod frame, a rotating shaft one, and a rotating shaft two. A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the small water storage tank, and a through hole is opened in the lower middle part of the small water storage tank. The lower end of the connecting rod frame is fixedly connected to the middle part of the inner lower wall of the water storage tank. A float ball is movably connected to the connecting rod frame through the rotating shaft one. A linkage rod is movably connected to the right side of the outer surface of the float ball through the rotating shaft two. The upper end of the linkage rod passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to an inner valve block.
[0011] Preferably, the lower part of the small water tank extends into the water storage tank, the lower end face of the float is flush with the horizontal direction of the connecting pipe, the lower end face area of the inner valve block is larger than the diameter area of the through hole, and the inner valve block is in close contact with the through hole.
[0012] Preferably, the diameter area of the linkage rod is smaller than the diameter area of the through hole.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, the drive unit drives the pulley and belt to efficiently transmit power to the connecting column, driving the feeding conveyor belt to operate stably, realizing automated feed delivery, replacing manual operation, significantly reducing labor intensity, and improving feeding efficiency. By adjusting the speed of the drive unit, the feeding speed and amount of the conveyor belt can be flexibly controlled, accurately controlling feed delivery, avoiding waste, and ensuring balanced nutrition for dairy cows. In addition, the independent and non-contact design of each component reduces operational interference, ensures stable operation of the device, and extends its service life. The anti-fall plate effectively prevents feed spillage, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the feeding process and meeting the needs of large-scale farming.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, the buoyancy of the float changes, and the opening and closing of the inner valve block is automatically controlled through the transmission of the rotating shaft and the linkage rod, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the water level in the water storage tank. When the water level drops, the float sinks and drives the valve to open to replenish water. When the water level rises, the float rises and pushes the valve to close, stopping the water supply. This process does not require manual intervention, which not only reduces labor intensity, but also avoids the problem of too much or too little water due to human operation errors, ensuring that dairy cows always have a sufficient and stable water supply, reducing water waste, and improving the automation and scientific level of the breeding process, thus ensuring the healthy growth of dairy cows.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] An automatic feeding and watering device for dairy cows includes a base frame 1 and a water storage tank 5. A fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the lower right end of the base frame 1, and a feeding device 8 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the fixing plate 7. An anti-fall plate 9 is inserted into the upper right end of the base frame 1. An operation key 6 is provided on the right side of the outer surface of the water storage tank 5, and an automatic watering structure 10 is fixedly connected to the upper right end of the water storage tank 5.
[0026] In this embodiment, the feeding device 8 includes a driver 81, a belt 84, and a rotating column 86. The output end of the driver 81 passes through the rear right side of the fixed plate 7 and is fixedly connected to a first pulley 82. A second pulley 83 is provided on the upper left side of the first pulley 82. The first pulley 82 and the second pulley 83 are connected by a belt 84. A connecting column 85 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second pulley 83. The front end of the connecting column 85 is movably connected to the base frame 1 through a bearing. A feeding conveyor belt 87 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting column 85. The front left side of the feeding conveyor belt 87 is movably connected to the base frame 1 through the rotating column 86. The feeding conveyor belt 87 does not contact the inner wall of the base frame 1, does not contact the anti-fall plate 9, and neither the second pulley 83 nor the first pulley 82 contacts the anti-fall plate 9.
[0027] Through the above scheme: the driver 81 drives the first pulley 82 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 83 via the belt 84, causing the connecting column 85 and the feeding conveyor belt 87 to operate, replacing manual feeding, reducing labor intensity, improving efficiency, and meeting the needs of large-scale breeding. At the same time, by adjusting the speed of the driver 81, the feeding amount of the feeding conveyor belt 87 can be precisely controlled to achieve accurate feed ratio and reduce waste.
[0028] In this embodiment, the automatic water filling structure 10 includes a small water storage tank 101, a connecting rod frame 104, a first rotating shaft 105, and a second rotating shaft 107. A water inlet pipe 102 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the small water storage tank 101, and a through hole 103 is opened in the lower middle part of the small water storage tank 101. The lower end of the connecting rod frame 104 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner lower wall of the water storage tank 5. A float 106 is movably connected to the connecting rod frame 104 through the first rotating shaft 105. The right side of the outer surface of the float 106 is... A pivot 107 is movably connected to a linkage rod 108. The upper end of the linkage rod 108 passes through the through hole 103 and is fixedly connected to an inner valve block 109. The lower part of the small water tank 101 extends into the water storage tank 5. The lower end face of the float 106 is flush with the horizontal direction of the connecting pipe 4. The lower end face area of the inner valve block 109 is larger than the diameter area of the through hole 103, and the inner valve block 109 is in close contact with the through hole 103. The diameter area of the linkage rod 108 is smaller than the diameter area of the through hole 103.
[0029] Through the above scheme: when the water level in water tank 5 drops, the float 106 decreases with the water level, rotating via shaft 105 and then via shaft 2107, causing the linkage rod 108 to move upward, disengaging the inner valve block 109 from the through hole 103. Water flows from the small water tank 101 into water tank 5 through the inlet pipe 102. When the water level rises, the float 106 rises and pushes the inner valve block 109 to re-seal the through hole 103, stopping the water supply. Thus, this structure can automatically maintain a stable water level in water tank 5 without manual intervention, accurately control the water supply, avoid water waste, and ensure balanced drinking water for dairy cows. Simultaneously, farmers can monitor the water supply status by observing the water level in water tank 5, making the operation simple and intuitive. This, to a certain extent, compensates for the lack of intelligent monitoring and provides convenience for modern scientific farming.
[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is an automatic feeding and watering device for dairy cows. In use, firstly, a grid 2 is installed to block the cows. Secondly, automated operation is achieved through mechanical transmission and buoyancy principles. When feeding, the driver 81 drives the first pulley 82 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 83 via the belt 84, causing the connecting column 85 and the feeding conveyor belt 87 to rotate, delivering the feed to the designated position. Adjusting the speed of the driver 81 controls the feeding amount. When adding water, the water level in the water tank 5 drops, and the float 106 sinks accordingly. This causes the linkage rod 108 to move upwards via the first rotating shaft 105 and the second rotating shaft 107, causing the inner valve block 1 to... 09 disconnects from the through hole 103, and water flows in through the inlet pipe 102. After the water level rises, the float ball 106 rises and pushes the inner valve block 109 to re-seal the through hole 103, stopping the water supply. The operation key 6 facilitates manual intervention in the operation of the equipment. The anti-fall plate 9 prevents feed from spilling. The water box 3 and the connecting pipe 4 are used to collect and transport water and ensure that the dairy cows drink water. Therefore, the mechanical transmission of the feeding device 8 achieves precise quantitative feeding, and the buoyancy sensing of the automatic water filling structure 10 maintains a stable water level. Combined with the operation key 6 and the anti-fall plate 9, it effectively solves the problems of low efficiency, difficult proportioning, and insufficient monitoring in traditional breeding, and significantly improves the level of automation and scientific breeding.
