[0004] However, the height of feed troughs may vary between different ranches or feeding areas. The discharge port of this device cannot ensure that the feeding device can adapt to various feed trough heights, which may lead to problems such as feed spillage or feeding inconvenience due to mismatched feed trough heights. Therefore, there is a need to provide an automatic feed feeding device for ranches. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for ranches to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for a ranch, comprising a base, a support plate, a feeding box, and a mixing box. The mixing box is equipped with a mixing mechanism, the feeding box with a feeding mechanism, and the base with a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a guide rod fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support plate. The base has a telescopic groove adapted to the guide rod, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the telescopic groove. A fixing block is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support plate. Two bidirectional lead screws are rotatably mounted on the base, and a synchronous wheel transmission group is configured to drive the two bidirectional lead screws. A third motor connected to the front bidirectional lead screw is installed at one end of the base. Two opposing moving blocks are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screws, and a hinge rod is hinged between the fixing block and the moving blocks.

[0007] Preferably, a limit rod is fixedly installed on the base above the bidirectional lead screw, the moving block is slidably connected to the limit rod, and the synchronous pulley transmission group consists of two synchronous pulleys and a synchronous belt.

[0008] Preferably, the mixing mechanism includes a rotating rod rotatably mounted on a mixing tank, a fixed frame fixedly mounted inside the mixing tank, and the rotating rod rotatably connected to the fixed frame.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating rod is equipped with a stirring blade and a scraper, and the discharge port of the mixing tank is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0010] Preferably, a mounting frame is fixedly installed on the mixing tank, and a first motor is installed on the mounting frame. A gear transmission group is provided between the output shaft of the first motor and the rotating rod, and the gear transmission group consists of two meshing gears.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a conveying chamber opened in the feeding box, a spiral conveying rod is rotatably arranged in the conveying chamber, and a second motor connected to the spiral conveying rod is installed at one end of the feeding box.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding box is mounted on the support plate, a discharge pipe is installed at the discharge port of the feeding box, the mixing box is mounted on the feeding box, and the discharge port of the mixing box is connected to the inlet of the feeding box.

[0013] Preferably, the mixing tank is connected to a feed pipe, the bottom of the base is equipped with casters, and the mixing tank is fitted with a support frame that is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1) The automatic feeding device for the ranch, by starting the third motor, causes the two bidirectional lead screws to rotate synchronously under the transmission action of the synchronous wheel transmission group. This allows the two moving blocks connected to each other by the thread on the bidirectional lead screws to move towards each other under the limiting action of the limiting rod. This causes the hinge rod to rotate and drive the support plate to move up or down through the fixed block. When the support plate moves, the guide rod can slide along the telescopic groove to ensure the stability of the support plate during movement. This facilitates the flexible adjustment of the discharge height of the discharge pipe according to different feed trough heights, effectively preventing feed spillage or inconvenience in feeding.

[0016] 2) The automatic feeding device for this ranch starts by activating the first motor, which causes the rotating rod to rotate under the transmission of the gear transmission group. This allows the mixing blades to fully mix various feeds. At the same time, the rotating scraper prevents the feed from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing box, ensuring that the various feeds are mixed evenly. After mixing, the solenoid valve is opened to allow the feed to fall into the feeding box. Then, the second motor is activated to rotate the screw conveyor, which can evenly transport the feed to the discharge pipe for discharge. This achieves automatic feeding while also controlling the amount of feed fed, thus improving feeding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

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. Example

[0028] Combination Figures 1-5 An automatic feeding device for a ranch includes a base 1, a support plate 2, a feeding box 3, and a mixing box 4. The feeding box 3 is mounted on the support plate 2, and a discharge pipe 9 is installed at the discharge port of the feeding box 3. The mixing box 4 is mounted on the feeding box 3, and the discharge port of the mixing box 4 is connected to the inlet of the feeding box 3. An inlet pipe 8 is connected to the mixing box 4. The bottom of the base 1 is equipped with casters 10. The mixing box 4 is fitted with a support frame 11 that is fixedly connected to the support plate 2. The mixing box 4 is equipped with a mixing mechanism 5. The feeding box 3 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 6. The base 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 7.

[0029] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the mixing mechanism 5 includes a rotating rod 51 rotatably mounted on the mixing tank 4, a fixed frame 52 fixedly mounted inside the mixing tank 4, the rotating rod 51 being rotatably connected to the fixed frame 52, a mixing blade 53 and a scraper 54 mounted on the rotating rod 51, a solenoid valve 58 mounted on the discharge port of the mixing tank 4, a mounting frame 55 fixedly mounted on the mixing tank 4, a first motor 56 mounted on the mounting frame 55, and a gear transmission group 57 being configured to drive the output shaft of the first motor 56 and the rotating rod 51, the gear transmission group 57 consisting of two meshing gears.

[0030] Specifically, by starting the first motor 56, the rotating rod 51 rotates under the transmission action of the gear transmission group 57, so that the stirring blade 53 can fully mix the various feeds. At the same time, the rotation of the scraper rod 54 can prevent the feed from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing box 4, so that the various feeds can be mixed evenly.

[0031] See Figure 2Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding chamber 61 opened inside the feeding box 3, a spiral conveying rod 62 is rotatably arranged inside the feeding chamber 61, and a second motor 63 connected to the spiral conveying rod 62 is installed at one end of the feeding box 3.

[0032] Specifically, after mixing, the solenoid valve 58 is opened to allow the feed to fall into the feeding box 3. Then, the second motor 63 is started to rotate the screw conveyor 62. The screw conveyor 62 can evenly convey the feed to the discharge pipe 9 for discharge, realizing automatic feeding while controlling the amount of feed fed, thus improving feeding efficiency.

[0033] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 7 includes a guide rod 71 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 2, a telescopic groove 72 adapted to the guide rod 71 on the base 1, the guide rod 71 and the telescopic groove 72 being slidably connected, and a fixing block 78 being fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 2; two bidirectional lead screws 73 are rotatably installed on the base 1, and a synchronous wheel transmission group 74 is driven between the two bidirectional lead screws 73; a third motor 75 connected to the front bidirectional lead screw 73 is installed at one end of the base 1; two opposing moving blocks 77 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screws 73; a hinge rod 79 is hinged between the fixing block 78 and the moving blocks 77; a limit rod 76 is fixedly installed on the base 1 above the bidirectional lead screws 73; the moving blocks 77 are slidably connected to the limit rod 76; and the synchronous wheel transmission group 74 consists of two synchronous wheels and a synchronous belt.

[0034] Specifically, by starting the third motor 75, the two bidirectional lead screws 73 rotate synchronously under the transmission action of the synchronous wheel transmission group 74. This allows the two moving blocks 77 connected to the threaded parts of the bidirectional lead screws 73 to move towards each other under the limiting action of the limiting rod 76. This causes the hinge rod 79 to rotate and drive the support plate 2 to move up or down through the fixed block 78. When the support plate 2 moves, the guide rod 71 can slide along the telescopic groove 72 to ensure the stability of the support plate 2 during movement. This facilitates flexible adjustment of the discharge height of the discharge pipe 9 according to different feed trough heights, effectively preventing feed spillage or inconvenience in feeding.

[0035] In actual operation, the various feeds to be mixed are poured into the mixing tank 4 through the feed pipe 8. Then, the first motor 56 is started, and the rotating rod 51 rotates under the transmission action of the gear transmission group 57, so that the mixing blade 53 can fully mix the various feeds. At the same time, the scraper rod 54 rotates to prevent the feed from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 4, so that the various feeds can be evenly mixed. After mixing, the solenoid valve 58 is opened to let the feed fall into the feed box 3. Then, the second motor 63 is started to rotate the screw conveyor rod 62, which can evenly convey the feed to the discharge pipe 9 for discharge.

[0036] The device is moved by the moving wheels 10, allowing the feeding device to be moved to different feeding trough positions for feeding. By starting the third motor 75, the two bidirectional lead screws 73 rotate synchronously under the transmission of the synchronous wheel transmission group 74. This allows the two moving blocks 77 connected to the threaded parts on the bidirectional lead screws 73 to move towards each other under the limiting action of the limiting rod 76. This causes the hinge rod 79 to rotate and drive the support plate 2 to move up or down through the fixed block 78. When the support plate 2 moves, the guide rod 71 can slide along the telescopic groove 72 to ensure the stability of the support plate 2 during movement. This facilitates flexible adjustment of the discharge height of the discharge pipe 9 according to different feeding trough heights.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
