[0002] With the continuous development of the livestock and poultry breeding industry, the industry is gradually moving towards large-scale and modernized operations. For large-scale livestock and poultry breeding, automatic feeding plays a crucial role.

[0003] While existing feeders can achieve automatic feeding, it is difficult to control the amount of feed given to livestock and poultry due to the differences in feed intake at different stages. This can lead to either too much or too little feed being given, which seriously affects the growth of livestock and poultry. Therefore, a variable-compartment rotary feeder is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a variable hopper rotary feeder to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a variable hopper rotary feeder, including a storage cylinder, a feeding assembly provided on the inner wall of the storage cylinder, and a spraying assembly provided on one side of the feeding assembly;

[0006] The feeding assembly includes a movable cylinder slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage cylinder. A first motor is mounted on the movable cylinder. A gear is fixed to the output end of the first motor. A meshing rack is provided on one side of the gear. The rack is fixed to the curved outer wall of the movable cylinder. A second motor is mounted on one side of the movable cylinder. A rotating component that slides on the inner wall of the movable cylinder is provided at the output end of the second motor. A central shaft is fixed at the end of the rotating component away from the second motor. Three sets of baffles are arranged in a circular array on the curved outer wall of the central shaft. A discharge port is provided directly below the three sets of baffles on one side of the bottom end of the storage cylinder.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the storage cylinder is provided with a circular plate for the baffle to slide on the side away from the second motor, and a fixing ring is provided on one side of the circular plate and fixed to the end of the storage cylinder, and the circular plate is rotatably connected to the storage cylinder.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the spraying assembly includes three sets of piston cylinders fixed to one side of a circular plate. A piston rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of each piston cylinder. A spring is sleeved on the piston rod, and an inclined block is fixed to one end of the piston rod. An arc-shaped plate installed on the inner wall of a fixing ring is provided on one side of the inclined block. A flexible hose is connected to one side of the curved outer wall of the piston cylinder. Multiple nozzles are provided on the curved outer wall of the flexible hose, and the end of the flexible hose away from the circular plate is fixed to one side of the rotating component. A connecting pipe is provided at the end of the piston cylinder away from the piston rod, and a liquid storage tank is connected to the other end of the connecting pipe. A one-way valve is provided at the connection ends of the connecting pipe, the flexible hose, and the piston cylinder.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the feeding assembly is provided in multiple sets, and the feeding assembly can be moved to feed multiple sets of feed troughs.

[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0014] This invention effectively changes the size of the storage compartment inside the feed hopper by moving the mobile cylinder, making it easier to flexibly match the differences in feed intake at different stages of livestock and poultry, and avoid affecting growth due to excessive or insufficient feed. Then, the second motor is started to drive the mobile cylinder to rotate, and at the same time, the baffles on both sides rotate synchronously. When the baffles rotate to a certain angle, the feed at the top of the baffle will fall into the feed trough through the discharge port, achieving the effect of timed and quantitative feeding, thereby stabilizing the digestive and metabolic rhythm of livestock and poultry.

[0015] When the circular plate is rotated by the baffle, the nutrient solution inside the piston cylinder is sprayed out from multiple nozzles and injected into the feed inside the storage bin. This effectively promotes the absorption of nutrients by poultry and livestock and accelerates their growth rate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0026] A type of variable-compartment rotary feeder, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a storage cylinder 110, a feeding assembly 100 is provided on the inner wall of the storage cylinder 110, and a spraying assembly 200 is provided on one side of the feeding assembly 100;

[0027] The feeding assembly 100 includes a movable cylinder 120 slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage cylinder 110. A first motor 130 is mounted on the movable cylinder 120. A gear 140 is fixed at the output end of the first motor 130. A meshing rack 150 is provided on one side of the gear 140. The rack 150 is fixed to the curved outer wall of the movable cylinder 120. A second motor 160 is mounted on one side of the movable cylinder 120. A rotating component 170 is provided at the output end of the second motor 160 and slides on the inner wall of the movable cylinder 120. A central shaft 180 is fixed at the end of the rotating component 170 away from the second motor 160. Three sets of baffles 190 are arranged circumferentially on the curved outer wall of the central shaft 180. A discharge port 194 is provided directly below the three sets of baffles 190 and opened on one side of the bottom end of the storage cylinder 110.

[0028] By starting the first motor 130, the gear 140 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 150 to move. The rack 150 then drives the moving cylinder 120 to move laterally along the inner wall of the storage cylinder 110. At the same time, the moving cylinder 120 drives the central shaft 180 and the baffle 190 to move synchronously. By moving the moving cylinder 120, the size of the storage compartment 192 inside the storage cylinder 110 can be effectively changed, which makes it easier to flexibly match the differences in feed intake at different stages of livestock and poultry, and avoid the impact of too much or too little feed on growth. Then, the second motor 160 is started, which drives the moving cylinder 120 to rotate, and at the same time drives the baffle 190 to rotate synchronously. When the baffle 190 rotates to a certain angle, the feed at the top of the baffle 190 will fall into the feed trough through the discharge port 194, achieving the effect of timed and quantitative feeding, thereby stabilizing the digestive and metabolic rhythm of livestock and poultry.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1 to 4 The feeding assembly 100 is provided with multiple sets, and the feeding assembly 100 can move to feed multiple sets of feed troughs. The top of the baffle 190 is provided with a storage chamber 192 opened inside the storage cylinder 110, and the top of the storage chamber 192 is provided with a cover plate 193 that is slidably connected to the curved outer wall of the storage cylinder 110.

[0030] By pulling the cover plate 193 to move along the curved outer wall of the storage cylinder 110, the storage chamber 192 is opened, and feed is added into the storage chamber 192.

[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 3 to 5 The storage cylinder 110 is provided with a circular plate 191 for the baffle 190 to slide on the side away from the second motor 160. The storage bin 192 is provided with a feeding bin 195 directly above it. The discharge port 194 is provided with a discharging bin 196 fixed to the curved outer wall of the storage cylinder 110 at the bottom.

[0032] Feed can be fed into storage bin 192 through feeding bin 195, and feed can be better delivered into feed trough through discharging bin 196.

[0033] Please refer to this carefully.Figures 1 to 3 The first motor 130 is provided with a protective shell 131 fixed to the outer wall of the storage cylinder 110. A groove 132 for the rack 150 to move is provided on one side of the protective shell 131, and the protective shell 131 is attached to the curved outer wall of the moving cylinder 120.

[0034] By setting up the protective shell 131, the first motor 130, gear 140 and rack 150 can be effectively protected, preventing them from being affected during operation.

[0035] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The spraying assembly 200 includes three sets of piston cylinders 210 fixed to one side of the circular plate 191. A piston rod 220 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder 210. A spring 230 is sleeved on the piston rod 220, and an inclined block 240 is fixed to one end of the piston rod 220. An arc-shaped plate 250 installed on the inner wall of the fixing ring 111 is provided on one side of the inclined block 240. A hose 260 is connected to one side of the curved outer wall of the piston cylinder 210. Multiple nozzles 261 are provided on the curved outer wall of the hose 260. The end of the hose 260 away from the circular plate 191 is fixed to one side of the rotating part 170. A connecting pipe 270 is provided at the end of the piston cylinder 210 away from the piston rod 220. The other end of the connecting pipe 270 is connected to a liquid storage tank 280. One-way valves are provided at the connection ends of the connecting pipe 270, the hose 260 and the piston cylinder 210.

[0036] When the baffle 190 drives the circular plate 191 to rotate, the circular plate 191 will drive the three sets of piston cylinders 210 to rotate synchronously. When the inclined block 240 on one set of piston rods 220 rotates and abuts against the arc plate 250, the inclined block 240 will drive the piston rod 220 to stretch the spring 230 and squeeze the nutrient solution inside the piston cylinder 210. The nutrient solution will be sprayed out from multiple sets of nozzles 261 through the hose 260 and sprayed into the feed inside the storage bin 192. This can effectively promote the absorption of nutrients by poultry and livestock and better accelerate their growth rate. The hose 260 can be better adapted to the size of the space inside the storage bin 192. When the inclined block 240 continues to rotate and disengages from the arc plate 250, the piston rod 220 will reset under the force of the spring 230, thereby creating a negative pressure inside the piston cylinder 210. Nutrient solution will be drawn back into the storage tank 280 through the connecting pipe 270 for subsequent continuous use.

[0037] In use, by moving the movable cylinder 120, the size of the storage chamber 192 inside the storage cylinder 110 can be effectively changed, which is convenient for better and more flexible matching of the differences in feed intake at different stages of livestock and poultry, and avoids the impact of too much or too little feed on growth. Then, the second motor 160 is started, which drives the movable cylinder 120 to rotate, and at the same time drives the baffle 190 to rotate synchronously. When the baffle 190 drives the circular plate 191 to rotate, the nutrient solution inside the piston cylinder 210 will be sprayed out from multiple sets of nozzles 261, spraying the nutrient solution into the feed inside the storage chamber 192, which can effectively promote the absorption of nutrients by poultry and livestock and better accelerate their growth rate. When the baffle 190 rotates to a certain angle, the feed at the top of the baffle 190 will fall into the feed trough through the discharge port 194, achieving the effect of timed and quantitative feeding, thereby stabilizing the digestive and metabolic rhythm of livestock and poultry. The parts not involved in this device are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology.
