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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, a livestock medication feeding device includes a support plate 1; a conveying mechanism is provided at the bottom inner side of the support plate 1, a fixing mechanism is provided on the side of the support plate 1, a medication feeding mechanism is provided at one end of the top side of the support plate 1, and a servo motor 10 is fixed at the bottom side of the support plate 1.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes a servo motor 10. A drive roller 6 is fixed to the output end of the servo motor 10. A driven roller 7 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the support plate 1 away from the drive roller 6. A conveyor belt 8 is fitted onto the drive roller 6 and the driven roller 7. A support platform 9 is fixed to the bottom inner side of the support plate 1, and the support platform 9 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the conveyor belt 8. Support frames 2 are fixed to both ends of the support plate 1. A lifting door 3 is slidably mounted on the inner side of the support frame 2. An electric telescopic rod 4 is fixed to the center of the top of the support frame 2. A fixing plate 5 is fixed to the top side of the support frame 2. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the fixing plate 5. One end of the support plate 1 is fixed with an inclined plate 11. During operation, when the existing feeding device has low feeding efficiency, the livestock enters through the inclined plate 11 via the structure of the conveyor mechanism. After the livestock moves to the inside of the support plate 1, the electric telescopic rod 4 is controlled to drive the lifting door 3 to descend, preventing the livestock from escaping. Then, the servo motor 10 is controlled to drive the output end drive roller 6 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 8 to move with the cooperation of the driven roller 7, and assisting in moving the livestock to the feeding area. After feeding, the servo motor 10 is controlled to move the conveyor belt 8 to move the livestock out. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 4 is controlled to open the lifting door 3 so that the next livestock can be fed, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the feeding device.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes a rectangular groove 12, with a lead screw 13 rotatably mounted inside the rectangular groove 12. The top end of the lead screw 13 passes through a support plate 1 and is fixed to a turntable 14, which is rotatably connected to the support plate 1. A fixing plate 5 is fixed to the top of the side of the support frame 2. The rectangular groove 12 is located at the center of the side of the support plate 1. A sleeve 15 is slidably mounted inside the rectangular groove 12 and is rotatably connected to the lead screw 13. A straight rod 16 is slidably mounted inside the sleeve 15, and the straight rod 16 moves and fixes a clamping plate 17. The side of the clamping plate 17... A connecting plate 18 is fixedly attached, and a cylinder 19 is fixedly attached to the side of the sleeve 15. The output end of the cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 18. During operation, when livestock struggle and move easily during medication, the structure of the fixing mechanism allows the turntable 14 to rotate, causing the lead screw 13 to rotate. This causes the sleeve 15 to move up and down in the rectangular groove 12 to the required height. Once the livestock has moved to the medication area, the cylinder 19 is controlled to move the clamping plates 17 on both sides inward, clamping and fixing the livestock's head to prevent it from struggling during medication, thus facilitating medication administration.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 As shown, the medication feeding mechanism includes a support frame 2. A water pump 20 is fixed to the top side of the support frame 2, and a medicine storage tank 21 is fixed to the top side of the support frame 2 on one side of the water pump 20. The input end of the water pump 20 is connected to the inside of the medicine storage tank 21 through a conduit. A delivery pipe 22 is fixed to the output end of the water pump 20, and a hollow rubber head 23 is fixed to one end of the delivery pipe 22. During operation, when encountering the problem of livestock being easily injured during medication feeding, the hollow rubber head 23 is placed on the livestock's crotch through the structure of the medication feeding mechanism. At this time, the water pump 20 can be controlled to draw out the medicine liquid inside the medicine storage tank 21, and then the medicine is delivered to the livestock's mouth through the delivery pipe 22. Because the hollow rubber head 23 is wear-resistant and elastic, it will not cause damage to the livestock's oral cavity during medication feeding, and it is also not easily torn or bitten.

[0025] Please see Figure 5 As shown, a sponge pad 24 is fixed to the inner side of the clamp 17. When working, if livestock are easily injured while being restrained, the structure of the sponge pad 24 can separate the clamp 17 from the livestock, thereby protecting the livestock's head while securing it.

[0026] Working Principle: Livestock, also known as domesticated animals, such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and horses, are typically raised to produce food, fur, and labor. During livestock farming, medication is administered periodically to prevent disease infection. However, existing medication systems require operators to remove the animal from the device after each administration, making the process cumbersome and inefficient. To address this, a conveying and fixing mechanism is implemented. The animal enters through the inclined plate 11 and moves to the inside of the support plate 1. The electric telescopic rod 4 lowers the lifting gate 3 to prevent escape. Then, the servo motor 10 drives the output drive roller 6 to rotate, which, in conjunction with the driven roller 7, moves the conveyor belt 8, carrying the animal. The animal is moved to the feeding area. At this time, the turntable 14 can be rotated to drive the lead screw 13 to rotate, thereby driving the sleeve 15 to rise and fall in the rectangular groove 12 to the required height. After the animal is moved to the feeding area, the control cylinder 19 drives the two clamping plates 17 to move inward to clamp and fix the animal's head. Then, the hollow rubber head 23 is placed on the animal's buckle. At this time, the water pump 20 can be controlled to draw out the medicine liquid inside the medicine storage tank 21, and then it is delivered to the animal's mouth through the medicine delivery pipe 22. Since the hollow rubber head 23 is wear-resistant and elastic, it will not cause damage to the animal's mouth during the feeding process. After the feeding is completed, the servo motor 10 is controlled to move the conveyor belt 8 to move the animal out. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 4 is controlled to open the lifting door 3 so that the next animal can be moved to the inside of the support plate 1 for feeding, which improves the feeding efficiency of the feeding device and solves the problem of low feeding efficiency of the existing feeding device.
