Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular relates to a device for free-feeding. Background Technology

[0002] The animal husbandry industry is an economic activity that primarily raises various livestock and poultry (such as sheep, pigs, cattle, and poultry) to produce meat, eggs, milk, and related products. Feeding is one of the core aspects of the farming process, and its efficiency directly affects the growth rate of animals and production benefits. With the increasing market demand for animal products, intensive and intelligent farming has become an industry trend, while the limitations of traditional feed feeding methods are becoming increasingly apparent.

[0003] Currently, in traditional farming methods, feed typically needs to be manually mixed and formulated into daily rations before being transported to the pens and then placed into open feeding troughs for animals to eat. This method suffers from problems such as low feeding efficiency (2-3 manual operations per day), significant feed waste (spillage rate as high as 10%-20%), uneven feeding (insufficient competition for weaker animals), and hygiene risks (feed is easily contaminated and moldy). Existing automated feeding equipment (such as the automatic feeding trough with feed distribution described in patent CN201820331844.8) has optimized some of these shortcomings through feed distributors and rainproof structures, but it still faces the following challenges: the feeding speed is easily affected by the particle size or moisture of the feed and is unstable; and the anti-contamination design is not thorough, failing to completely prevent mold or bacterial growth caused by feed exposure. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an automated feeding system that is more adaptable, has stable feeding, and has better anti-contamination effects to improve farming efficiency and reduce feeding costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feed free-feeding device, including: a rectangular device body; a feed hopper cover (1) set on the upper part of the device body; rain shields (3) symmetrically set on the upper front and rear sides of the device body; feeding troughs (8) symmetrically set on the lower part of the device body; a baffle (6) above each feeding trough (8); at least one fixed rod (2) is set on the top of the feed hopper chamber (4); a feed hopper chamber partition (5) is set in the middle of the main body to divide the feed hopper chamber into two independent chambers; a feed hopper chamber discharge plate (10) extending inward from the side wall of the feed hopper chamber (4) forms a discharge channel with the feeding trough discharge plate (11); at least one fixed plate (7) is set between the feed hopper chamber discharge plates at the bottom of the feed hopper chamber (4).

[0005] Furthermore, the upper sidewall of the rain shield (3) is provided with a transparent observation plate (9).

[0006] Furthermore, the feeding trough discharge plate (11) connected to the bottom of the silo partition (5) extends to the feeding troughs (8) on both sides to form a V-shaped material guiding structure.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the feed free-feeding device of this utility model is a rectangular prism. The upper part of the feeding device is a feed hopper cover (1). A handle is provided on the upper part of the feed hopper cover, which can be used to open or close the feed hopper cover (1) and add sheep feed.

[0021] Rain shields (3) are symmetrically arranged on the upper front and rear sides of the feeding device. The rain shields (3) are used to shield against rain and snow.

[0022] Feeding troughs (8) are symmetrically arranged on the lower part of the front and rear sides of the feeding trough, and a baffle (6) is provided on the upper part of the feeding trough (8). The baffle (6) can prevent sheep from excreting feces into the feeding trough (8) when the sheep are eating.

[0023] The upper front wall of the rain shield (3) is an observation panel (9), which is made of transparent glass or other transparent material and can be used to observe the amount of material in the hopper. The upper rear wall of the rain shield (3) is also provided with an observation panel.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a fixing rod (2) is provided on the top of the hopper. There are one or more fixing rods (2). The fixing rods (2) are used to fix the front and rear side walls of the feeding device, which can increase the stability of the feeding device.

[0025] At the center of the silo chamber (4), a silo chamber partition (5) is provided parallel to the front or rear side wall. The silo chamber partition (5) divides the silo chamber (4) into two parts, and the two parts of the silo chamber can be filled with different feeds respectively.

From the side, the upper side wall of the silo chamber (4) and the silo chamber discharge plate (10) present a funnel shape, which is intended to slow down the discharge speed.

[0027] One or more fixing plates (7) are fixedly installed between the front and rear material hopper discharge plates (10) to enhance the stability of the bottom of the material hopper (4).

[0028] The bottom of the partition plate (5) of the silo chamber is provided with a feeding trough discharge plate (11). The feeding trough discharge plate (11) is fixedly connected to the partition plate (5) of the silo chamber and extends to the lower part of the feeding troughs (8) on both sides to form feeding troughs (8).

[0029] The lower end of the feed hopper discharge plate (10) and the feeding trough discharge plate (11) are separated to form a discharge channel from the feed hopper (4) to the feeding trough (8).

[0030] Example 2

[0031] One embodiment of the feed free-feeding device of this utility model is that the feed free-feeding device is a cuboid with a length of 2m × width of 1m × height of 1.2m, and can hold 1-1.5t of concentrated feed for mutton sheep. In use, corn is added to one part of the feed hopper (4) and concentrated feed is added to the other part. A fixed rod (2) is set on the top of the feed hopper (4), and three fixed plates (7) are fixedly set between the feed hopper discharge plates (10). The bottom of the feeding trough is 20cm from the ground. The angle formed between the feed hopper discharge plate (10) and the side wall is 135°, and the width of the discharge channel gap is 10cm. The vertical distance between the baffle (6) and the upper edge of the feeding trough (8) is 30cm.

[0032] Through testing, the feed free-feeding device of this utility model can achieve uniform feeding without the phenomenon of feed overflowing from the feeding trough (8). A full load of this feed free-feeding device can feed about 60 sheep for 2-3 days, avoiding the need for manual feeding twice a day and saving labor. The feed free-feeding trough provided in this application can effectively increase the feed intake of sheep, thereby improving production performance.
