Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming, specifically an automatic feeder for chicken farms. Background Technology

[0002] In the refined management of large-scale chicken farms, feed distribution must simultaneously meet two core requirements: "uniform distribution throughout the trough" and "precise feeding at different stages." However, existing automatic feeding equipment is limited by fixed-point feeding modes and extensive metering methods, resulting in particularly prominent problems of uneven feed spatial distribution and insufficient age adaptability, which have become key bottlenecks restricting the improvement of breeding efficiency. Specifically, when the feeding tube is fixed in the middle of the feed trough, a "feed pile" forms within 0-3 meters of the feeding point due to the concentrated fall of feed. Chickens need to gather in this area to eat, causing some chickens to be unable to squeeze in and thus unable to eat or to eat very little feed, affecting their growth. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic feeder for chicken farms to solve the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic feeder for chicken farms, including a feed trough, a feeding pipe is provided above the feed trough, the feeding pipe is vertically arranged, the feeding pipe has the freedom to move along the length of the feed trough, a feeding mechanism is connected to the top of the feeding pipe, the feeding mechanism includes a feed tank and a weighing hopper, the weighing hopper is installed below the feed tank, a feeding hose is connected to the bottom of the weighing hopper, and the feeding hose is connected to the top of the feeding pipe.

[0005] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a support frame on which a weighing sensor is mounted, and a side plate is fixed to the side wall of the weighing hopper, the side plate being connected to the detection shaft of the weighing sensor.

[0006] Furthermore, a sliding plate is slidably provided on the side wall of the weighing hopper, the sliding plate having a degree of freedom to move in the horizontal direction, the sliding plate being used to move into the weighing hopper to close the bottom opening of the weighing hopper.

[0007] Furthermore, an electric push rod is horizontally installed on the side wall of the weighing hopper, and the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod is connected to the sliding plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a feed pipe is provided at the bottom of the feed trough, and a valve is provided on the feed pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is provided on one side of the feed trough, and a guide rod is fixed on the mounting bracket. The guide rod is parallel to the feed trough, and a drive plate is slidably mounted on the guide rod. The drive plate is connected to the feeding tube.

[0010] Furthermore, a lead screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket, the lead screw is parallel to the guide rod, the drive plate is threaded onto the lead screw, and a motor is mounted on the mounting bracket, the output shaft of the motor being connected to one end of the lead screw.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The feeding tube moves along the length of the feed trough to feed the chickens, ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed in the trough. This allows the chickens to spread out and eat, avoiding the problem of some chickens eating too much or too little, and improving the breeding effect.

[0014] 2. The feed is first put into the weighing hopper for weighing, so that the feed is dispensed more accurately and the corresponding amount of feed can be given according to the different growth stages of the chickens. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an automatic feeder for chicken farms includes a feed trough 1, a feeding pipe 2 installed above the feed trough 1, the feeding pipe 2 being vertically positioned and having the freedom to move along the length of the feed trough 1, a feeding mechanism connected to the top of the feeding pipe 2, the feeding mechanism including a feed tank 3 and a weighing hopper 4, the weighing hopper 4 being installed below the feed tank 3, a feeding hose 5 connected to the bottom of the weighing hopper 4, the feeding hose 5 being connected to the top of the feeding pipe 2, and a discharge pipe 11 installed at the bottom of the feed trough 1. A valve is installed, and the feed is piled in the feed tank 3. When it is time to feed, the valve on the feed pipe 11 is opened, allowing the feed in the feed tank 3 to fall into the weighing hopper 4. The feed in the weighing hopper 4 enters the feeding pipe 2 through the feeding hose 5, and is then fed into the feed trough 1 through the feeding pipe 2. The feeding pipe 2 moves along the length of the feed trough 1 to feed the chickens, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the feed trough 1, allowing the chickens to spread out to eat. This avoids the problem of some chickens eating too much or too little, and improves the breeding effect.

[0020] Example 2

[0021] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a mounting frame 12 is provided on one side of the feed trough 1. A guide rod 13 is fixed on the mounting frame 12. The guide rod 13 is parallel to the feed trough 1. A drive plate 14 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 13. The drive plate 14 is connected to the feeding tube 2. A lead screw 15 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 12. The lead screw 15 is parallel to the guide rod 13. The drive plate 14 is threaded onto the lead screw 15. A motor 16 is mounted on the mounting frame 12. The output shaft of the motor 16 is connected to one end of the lead screw 15. The motor 16 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate. The rotational freedom of the drive plate 14 is restricted by the guide rod 13, so that the drive plate 14 moves linearly along the axial direction of the lead screw 15. This drives the feeding tube 2 to move along the length of the feed trough 1, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the feed trough 1, allowing the chickens to spread out and eat.

[0022] Example 3

[0023] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the feeding mechanism also includes a support frame 6, on which a weighing sensor 7 is mounted. A side plate 8 is fixed to the side wall of the weighing hopper 4, and the side plate 8 is connected to the detection shaft of the weighing sensor 7. A sliding plate 9 is slidably mounted on the side wall of the weighing hopper 4, and the sliding plate 9 has a degree of freedom to move in the horizontal direction. The sliding plate 9 is used to move into the weighing hopper 4 to close the bottom opening of the weighing hopper 4. An electric push rod 10 is horizontally mounted on the side wall of the weighing hopper 4, and the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 10 is connected to the sliding plate 9. Before feeding, the material is weighed first. Specifically, the sliding plate 9 moves... The feed is moved into the weighing hopper 4, and the bottom opening of the weighing hopper 4 is sealed. Then, the feed tank 3 puts the feed into the weighing hopper 4, and the feed falls onto the slide plate 9. The weight of the weighing hopper 4 is detected by the weighing sensor 7, which detects the weight of the feed added. When the set value is reached, the valve on the feed pipe 11 is closed. Then, the electric push rod 10 drives the slide plate 9 to move outward, so that the bottom opening of the weighing hopper 4 is opened to feed the feed. This makes the feeding amount more accurate and allows the feeding amount to be flexibly set according to the different growth stages of the flock and the number of flocks.

[0024] Furthermore, a vibrator is installed on the support frame 6. When the weighing hopper 4 discharges material, the vibrator is activated, causing the support frame 6 to vibrate. This vibration is transmitted to the feeding hose 5 to prevent the feed from getting stuck in the feeding hose 5.
