Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a precise feeding device for porridge. Background Technology
[0002] A porridge feeder is an automated feeding device specifically designed for livestock farming (such as pig farms and cattle farms). It is primarily used for the precise feeding of porridge-like feed (i.e., a semi-fluid feed formed by mixing dry feed with water in a specific ratio). This device is suitable for livestock and poultry at different growth stages, and is especially beneficial for animals with weak digestive systems, such as piglets and weaned pigs. It can improve feed utilization, reduce waste, and improve animal health.
[0003] Currently, precision feeding devices for porridge are commonly used in livestock farming. However, when these devices deliver feed through feed lines into the feed hoppers, it is difficult to control the amount of feed delivered, leading to inaccurate feed dispensing and waste. Furthermore, during the mixing of the porridge, some of the porridge has high adhesiveness and tends to stick to the inner wall of the feed hopper. This not only wastes feed and increases farming costs but also easily breeds bacteria and mold, threatening the health of the pig herd. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a precise feeding device for porridge to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a precise feeding device for porridge, including a porridge container, and further comprising:
[0006] A metering container is fixed to the top of a diluent container. A stirring component, including a servo motor, is fixedly connected to the top of the diluent container. A support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the metering container. A solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of the diluent container. A two-way pipe is connected to the bottom of the solenoid valve. A bacterial agent pipe is provided on one side of the diluent container.
[0007] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame, and a small bucket is fixedly connected to the piston end of the cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the small bucket, a positioning ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, and a suspended ball is movably connected to the inside of the metering bucket and movably connected to the surface of the connecting rod.
[0009] Preferably, a reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the metering container, and a support plate that is fixedly connected to the metering container on both the front and rear sides of the reinforcing ring.
[0010] Preferably, a heating shell is fixedly connected to the surface of the thinner barrel, a heat-conducting copper pipe is fixedly connected inside the heating shell, and a heating module electrically connected to the heat-conducting copper pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating shell.
[0011] Preferably, the servo motor is fixed to the top of the thinner container, the output end of the servo motor extends into the interior of the thinner container and is fixedly connected to a transmission rod, and a stirring rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission rod.
[0012] Preferably, an extension plate is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the surface of the stirring rod, and a scraper that fits against the inner wall of the thinner bucket is fixedly connected to one side of the extension plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention first delivers feed to the inside of the metering bin via an external feed line. At this point, the feed will be at the top of the suspension ball. When the user needs to control the amount of feed, the cylinder is opened to drive the small bucket to rise or fall inside the metering bin. If it rises, the capacity inside the metering bin decreases; conversely, if it falls, the capacity inside the metering bin increases. This allows the feed amount to be adjusted according to the different feeding needs of pigs at different stages of their size. Then, the mixing and scraping work is carried out in conjunction with the stirring component. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, the precise feeding device for porridge includes a feed hopper 1, and also includes:
[0022] A metering tank 2 is fixed to the top of the thinner tank 1. A stirring component 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the thinner tank 1. The stirring component 3 includes a servo motor 301. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the metering tank 2. A solenoid valve 5 is installed at the bottom of the thinner tank 1. A two-way pipe 6 is connected to the bottom of the solenoid valve 5. An agent pipe 16 is provided on one side of the thinner tank 1. The feed is transported into the metering tank 2 through the feed line at the top of the metering tank 2. The feed can be metered and mixed with the stirring component 3 on the thinner tank 1. The support frame 4 facilitates the subsequent fixation of the components on the top of the metering tank 2. The solenoid valve 5 and the two-way pipe 6 facilitate the discharge of the mixed feed.
[0023] A cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 4. A small bucket 8 is fixedly connected to the piston end of the cylinder 7. A connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the small bucket 8. A positioning ring 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 9. A suspended ball 17 is movably connected to the inside of the metering bucket 2 and is movably connected to the surface of the connecting rod 9. A reinforcing ring 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the metering bucket 2. Support plates 12, which are fixedly installed and fixed to the metering bucket 2, are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the reinforcing ring 11. The cylinder 7 is stably installed on the crossbeam of the feeding room through the support frame 4. The cylinder 7 can drive the small bucket 8 to move up and down inside the metering bucket 2. When the user needs to control the feeding amount, The cylinder 7 is opened to move the small bucket 8 up or down inside the metering bucket 2. If it moves up, the capacity inside the metering bucket 2 decreases, and if it moves down, the capacity inside the metering bucket 2 increases. This allows the capacity to be adjusted according to the different feeding amounts of pigs at different stages of their size. If it is necessary to feed into the diluted feed bucket 1, the cylinder 7 is opened to move the small bucket 8 up, which in turn moves the connecting rod 9 and the positioning ring 10 up. The positioning ring 10 lifts the suspension ball 17, and the feed will fall into the diluted feed bucket 1, which will facilitate subsequent mixing. The reinforcement ring 11 and the support plate 12 can improve the installation strength of the metering bucket 2 and ensure the stability of the feed during storage and flow.
[0024] A heating shell 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the thinner bucket 1. A heat-conducting copper pipe 14 is fixedly connected inside the heating shell 13. A heating module 15, which is electrically connected to the heat-conducting copper pipe 14, is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating shell 13. When the user needs to heat and maintain the temperature of the feed inside the thinner bucket 1, the heating module 15 can be turned on to heat the heat-conducting copper pipe 14, thereby conducting heat to the inside of the thinner bucket 1. It should be noted that the heating module 15 usually includes electric heating elements such as resistance wires and ceramic heaters. These heating elements can generate heat when current passes through them. When current passes through the heating elements inside the heat-conducting copper pipe 14, it will release a large amount of heat energy. Copper is a metal with very good thermal conductivity, so it can quickly conduct the heat generated by the heating elements to the surrounding area of the copper pipe. This is prior art, which is clearly known to those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated here.
[0025] A servo motor 301 is fixed to the top of the thinning tank 1. The output end of the servo motor 301 extends into the interior of the thinning tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a transmission rod 302. A stirring rod 303 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission rod 302. Extension plates 304 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the surface of the stirring rod 303. A scraper 305 that fits against the inner wall of the thinning tank 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the extension plate 304. By turning on the servo motor 301, the transmission rod 302 can drive the stirring rod 303 to rotate, thereby stirring the feed inside the thinning tank 1. The feed is stirred and mixed evenly. However, while the transmission rod 302 rotates, it also drives the extension plate 304 to rotate the scraper 305. Thus, while stirring, a large area of feed adhering to the inner wall of the thinner bucket 1 can be scraped off and discharged through the solenoid valve 5, reducing resource waste. It should also be noted that the surface of the stirring rod 303 has multiple water holes, and the transmission rod 302 is hollow and extends to the outside of the drive shaft of the servo motor 301. The top of the transmission rod 302 is also provided with a rotary joint for connecting to the pipe valve.
[0026] Working Principle: First, feed is conveyed into the metering bin 2 via the feed line at the top. When the user needs to control the feed amount, the cylinder 7 is opened, causing the small bin 8 to rise or fall inside the metering bin 2. Rising decreases the capacity of the metering bin 2, while falling increases it, allowing adjustment based on the different feed intakes of pigs at different stages of growth. To feed into the thinner bin 1, the cylinder 7 is opened, causing the small bin 8 to rise along the connecting rod 9 and positioning ring 10. The positioning ring 10 then lifts the suspension ball 17, causing the feed to fall into the thinner bin 1, completing the precise feeding process. Once the feed is in the thinner bin 1, the stirring device on the thinner bin 1 is activated. The servo motor 301 activates the transmission rod 302, which drives the stirring rod 303 to rotate, uniformly mixing the feed inside the thinner bin 1. Simultaneously, the transmission rod 302 rotates, also driving the extension plate 304 to rotate the scraper 305, thus further agitating the feed. This allows for the scraping off of large areas of feed adhering to the inner wall of the feed hopper 1, ensuring it is fully discharged through the solenoid valve 5 and the dual-way pipe 6, reducing resource waste. In cold weather, when the user needs to heat and maintain the temperature of the feed inside the feed hopper 1, the heating module 15 can be turned on to heat the heat-conducting copper pipe 14, thereby conducting heat to the inside of the feed hopper 1. The feed temperature can be adjusted according to different seasons to ensure the temperature of the feed consumed by the pigs. After feeding, the user can fill the metering tank 2 with water and drain it into the feed hopper 1. The water can then be stirred and shaken with the agitator 3 to thoroughly clean the inside of the feed hopper 1 before being discharged, ensuring the cleanliness of the pipes and preventing the growth of bacteria. After discharge, the user can connect an external water pump to the rotating head at the top of the transmission rod 302 and discharge it through the multiple water holes on the surface of the agitator 303. The agitator tube 16 can then be used to fill the feed hopper 1 with the agitator 3 to rinse the feed inside the feed hopper 1 before it is discharged and fed to the pigs again.
