Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheep breeding technology, and more specifically, to an automated feeding device for sheep breeding. Background Technology

[0002] As the sheep farming industry develops towards large-scale and intelligent operations, automated feeding devices, with their high efficiency and convenience, are gradually becoming important tools for farmers to improve their farming efficiency. Currently, most automated feeding devices for sheep farming use multiple pipes to inject feed into the feeding trough.

[0003] However, when feed is discharged from the pipe, it will accumulate in the feeding trough, resulting in uneven distribution of feed. Sheep near the feed accumulation can eat a lot, while sheep far away from the accumulation have difficulty getting enough feed and thus suffer from insufficient feed intake. To address this, we propose an automated feeding device for sheep farming. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned technical problem of uneven feed distribution caused by localized accumulation of feed in the feeding trough when it is discharged from the pipe, this utility model proposes an automated feeding device for sheep farming. The device uses a drive component to move a feed equalization plate, which evenly pushes the accumulated feed in the feeding trough, thus solving the problem of uneven feed distribution.

[0005] The present invention discloses an automated feeding device for sheep farming, comprising a feeding trough, two support seats, a sliding plate, a feed equalization plate, two support blocks and a drive assembly;

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an automated feeding device for sheep farming includes a feeding trough 1, two support seats 3, a sliding plate 7, a feed distribution plate 8, two support blocks 9, and a drive assembly.

[0029] The bottom of the feeding trough 1 is fixedly connected to the base 2;

[0030] The end of the support 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding trough 1, and a ball screw 4 is rotatably connected between the two support 3s;

[0031] The ends of the support blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding trough 1, and a sliding rod 10 is fixedly connected between the two support blocks 9.

[0032] The slide plate 7 slides along the inner wall of the feeding trough 1. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 7. A slider 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 6. The slider 5 is fixedly connected to the ball nut on the ball screw 4. The slider 5 is slidably connected to the slide rod 10.

[0033] The bottom of the uniform material plate 8 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 7;

[0034] The drive assembly is used to rotate the ball screw 4.

[0035] The drive assembly includes a base 11, a stepper motor 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 11, and the output end of the stepper motor 12 is fixedly connected to the ball screw 4.

[0036] The base 2 can support and fix the feeding trough 1. The setting of the support seat 3, ball screw 4, support block 9, and slide bar 10, together with the slide plate 7, connecting plate 6 and slider 5, can drive the feed equalization plate 8 to move under the action of the drive component, so as to evenly push the feed accumulated in the feeding trough 1 and solve the problem of uneven feed distribution.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum cleaner 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 11, a telescopic hose 14 is fixedly connected to the suction end of the vacuum cleaner 13, and a suction nozzle 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic hose 14. The suction nozzle 15 is installed inside the slide plate 7.

[0038] The vacuum cleaner 13, the telescopic hose 14 and the suction nozzle 15 are designed to remove feed dust generated during feeding and feed residue scraped off by the scraper 18, keeping the air in the sheepfold clean and the feeding trough 1 hygienic.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, an adjusting screw 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the slide plate 7, and a fixing plate 16 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting screw 17. The fixing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the suction nozzle 15, and the suction nozzle 15 is slidably connected to the slide plate 7.

[0040] The adjustment screw 17 and the fixed plate 16 allow the position and height of the suction nozzle 15 to be adjusted. The position of the suction nozzle 15 can be adjusted according to different feed accumulation conditions and cleaning needs to ensure that it can effectively suck up feed dust and residue.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a scraper 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding plate 8, and the scraper 18 slides in contact with the inner wall of the feeding trough 1.

[0042] The scraper 18 can scrape off the feed residue attached to the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 during the movement of the feed equalization plate 8, preventing the feed residue from accumulating and deteriorating on the inner wall of the feeding trough 1, further improving the cleanliness of the feeding trough 1, providing a clean feeding environment for the sheep, and reducing bacterial growth.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the automated feeding device for sheep farming also includes a feed pipe 19, which is inclined so that feed can enter multiple metering tanks 21 at different times. Multiple discharge pipes 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed pipe 19. A metering tank 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each feed pipe 19. A discharge pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering tank 21. The bottom of the discharge pipe 22 extends to the top of the feeding trough 1. A solenoid valve 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge pipe 22.

[0044] The installation of the feed pipe 19 and multiple discharge pipes 20 enables centralized conveying and decentralized discharge of feed.

[0045] Working principle: The feed is transported to the discharge pipe 20 through the feed pipe 19. After passing through the metering tank 21, the feed falls into the feeding trough 1 through the discharge pipe 22.

[0046] When feed accumulates locally in the feeding trough 1, the stepper motor 12 is started. The stepper motor 12 drives the ball screw 4 to rotate, causing the slider 5 to slide along the slide rod 10. The slider 5 drives the slide plate 7 to slide along the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 through the connecting plate 6. The slide plate 7 drives the feed equalization plate 8 to move. During the movement, the feed equalization plate 8 can push away the accumulated feed in the feeding trough 1, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the feeding trough 1, ensuring that the sheep can obtain sufficient and equal amounts of feed.

[0047] After feeding, as the feed equalization plate 8 moves, the scraper 18 at the bottom slides against the inner wall of the feeding trough 1, which can scrape off the feed residue attached to the inner wall of the feeding trough 1.

[0048] At the same time, the vacuum cleaner 13 is started. The vacuum cleaner 13 uses the telescopic hose 14 and the nozzle 15 to suck away the scraped feed residue and other debris, keeping the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 clean.

[0049] By rotating the adjusting screw 17 on the top of the slide plate 7, the height and position of the suction nozzle 15 inside the slide plate 7 can be changed, and the distance between the suction nozzle 15 and the scraper 18 can be adjusted to adapt to different cleaning needs.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
