[0026] See appendix Figure 1-2 This utility model proposes a feed inlet device for poultry farming, comprising:

[0027] The feeding component 100 includes a feeding member and a feeding pipe 110. The feeding member is used to transport feed within the feeding pipe 110, and the side wall of the feeding pipe 110 has a discharge port. The design of the feeding member and the feeding pipe 110 allows the feed to be transported within the closed feeding pipe 110. This structure avoids excessive contact between the feed and the external environment during transportation, reduces the risk of feed contamination, ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed, and is beneficial to the healthy growth of poultry. At the same time, the discharge port on the side wall of the feeding pipe 110 allows for precise release of feed at a designated location, enabling precise control of the feed drop position in conjunction with subsequent structures.

[0028] The feeding component 200 includes a feeding cylinder 210 and a feed stop 220. The feeding cylinder 210 drives the feed stop 220. This method of driving the feed stop 220 with the feeding cylinder 210 achieves automated control. Compared to manual operation, the cylinder-driven response is rapid, allowing for quick opening or closing of the feeding channel according to the needs of the livestock, greatly improving feeding efficiency. Furthermore, the stable driving force of the cylinder ensures the consistency of each movement of the feed stop 220, guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the feeding control.

[0029] The feed inlet component 300 includes a feed outlet 310 with a through-hole structure, providing a channel for the final drop of feed. Its through-hole structure allows the feed to fall smoothly and unobstructed, reducing the possibility of feed accumulation or blockage at the feed outlet and ensuring the smoothness of the entire feeding process.

[0030] The discharge port and the feed outlet 310 are positioned facing each other, with a baffle 220 located between them. This arrangement forms a tight and effective feed control structure. When feed needs to be discharged, the baffle 220 opens under cylinder drive, allowing feed to fall from the discharge port through the feed outlet 310. After feeding is complete, the baffle 220 closes, effectively preventing residual feed from falling and avoiding waste, while also maintaining a clean farming environment.

[0031] The feeding component 200 includes a through-type guiding cavity 230, located between the discharge port and the discharge port 310. A feeding cylinder 210 is fixed to the outside of the guiding cavity 230. A baffle 220 can extend into or away from the guiding cavity 230, providing a dedicated conveying channel for the feed. It guides the feed smoothly from the discharge port to the discharge port 310, preventing deviation or spillage during transport. The baffle 220 can flexibly extend into or away from the guiding cavity 230. When the baffle 220 extends into the guiding cavity 230, it completely blocks the feed's path, closing the discharge port and preventing leakage. When the baffle 220 moves away from the guiding cavity 230, the feed can fall smoothly through it, completing the feeding process. This precise motion control effectively improves the controllability and accuracy of the feeding process.

[0032] Specifically, the feeding component 200 also includes a guide rail 240 horizontally disposed in the feed hopper, and a stopper 220 slidably engaged with the guide rail 240. The guide rail 240, horizontally disposed in the feed hopper, provides stable and precise guidance for the movement of the stopper 220. The horizontal guide rail 240 enables the stopper 220 to move smoothly in the horizontal direction, avoiding deviations in the movement trajectory of the stopper 220 due to gravity or other external forces. This ensures that the position of the stopper 220 is highly consistent each time the feed opening is opened and closed, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the feed control.

[0033] Furthermore, the baffle 220 is plate-shaped, and a clearance opening is provided between the guide cavity 230 and the discharge port for the baffle 220 to extend into. The plate-shaped structure of the baffle 220 allows for better coverage of the discharge port due to its larger area. When the baffle 220 closes the discharge port, the plate-shaped structure fits tightly against the discharge port, creating a good seal and effectively preventing feed leakage. Moreover, the plate-shaped baffle 220 moves linearly under cylinder drive, resulting in a simple, stable, and easily controllable motion, further ensuring the accuracy of the discharge port's opening and closing.

[0034] In this embodiment, the feeding component 200 is also provided with a fixing sleeve 250, which is pressed against the upper end of the feeding pipe 110 and connected to the guiding cavity 230. This connection method firmly combines the feeding pipe 110 and the guiding cavity 230. On the one hand, it ensures that no leakage or gaps occur during the process of feed entering the guiding cavity 230 from the feeding pipe 110, thus ensuring the airtightness of feed delivery. On the other hand, it enhances the structural stability of the entire device, preventing the feeding pipe 110 and the guiding cavity 230 from shifting or loosening due to feed delivery impact or external vibration during long-term use, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0035] The fixing sleeve 250 is bolted to the feed guide cavity 230. The bolted connection provides high strength and reliability. During operation, the bolts withstand the pressure and vibration generated by feed conveying, ensuring a tight connection between the fixing sleeve 250 and the feed guide cavity 230. Furthermore, the bolted connection is detachable, allowing for easy separation of the fixing sleeve 250 from the feed guide cavity 230 during maintenance, repair, or parts replacement. This simple and quick operation improves the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0036] Furthermore, the feeding component is a threaded shaft, which includes a feeding section, a conveying section, and a discharge section arranged sequentially from the discharge port along the conveying direction. The thread pitch gradually decreases and the thread depth gradually increases from the feeding section towards the discharge section; conversely, from the feeding section towards the discharge section, the thread pitch gradually decreases and the thread depth gradually increases. This variation gradually increases the conveying force of the threaded shaft on the feed. In the feeding section, the feed can quickly enter and be initially conveyed; as the conveying process continues, upon reaching the discharge section, the feed, under a greater pushing force, can overcome the resistance at the discharge port and fall smoothly from the discharge port, effectively preventing feed accumulation on the threaded shaft and improving the efficiency and reliability of feed conveying.

[0037] Specifically, the threaded shaft includes a rotating shaft and threaded blades. The rotating shaft passes along the axial centerline of the threaded blades and drives the blades to rotate. The threaded blades are axially elastic. The rotating shaft is fixed to the inner side of the threaded blades, and the rotating shaft can extend and retract along its axial direction. When feed encounters resistance during transport, such as uneven feed particle size or partial blockage of the conveying channel, the threaded blades can adapt to different resistances through elastic deformation, preventing equipment damage due to excessive resistance. Simultaneously, the axial extension and retraction of the rotating shaft can further adjust the contact and pushing force between the threaded blades and the feed, ensuring continuous and smooth feed transport and improving the adaptability of the device to different feed characteristics and conveying conditions.

[0038] The threaded blades can be made of spring steel or silicone rubber. Spring steel has high strength and good elasticity, and can withstand large external forces without permanent deformation; silicone rubber has good flexibility and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for conveying wet or corrosive feeds. The shaft adopts a combination of a splined shaft and a sleeve. The splined shaft is inserted into the sleeve, and the two mesh with each other through spline teeth. When extension or retraction is required, the splined shaft can slide along the axial direction of the sleeve, while transmitting torque, thus realizing the extension and retraction function of the shaft. The structure is simple and practical.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
