Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock and poultry breeding technology, and more specifically, to an automated continuous feeding device for livestock and poultry breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Feed is the primary source of nutrients for livestock and poultry, containing a variety of nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are crucial for the growth and development of livestock and poultry. After digestion and absorption, the nutrients in feed are converted into the energy and substances needed by the body, thereby supporting their normal physiological activities and growth.
[0003] However, in traditional equipment, feed often accumulates in the feeding troughs. This accumulation leads to some livestock consuming more feed while others consume less, resulting in insufficient nutrient intake for some. Over time, this can cause nutritional imbalances in livestock, affecting their health and production performance. Therefore, there is a need to improve and optimize an automated continuous feeding system for livestock farming. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automated continuous feeding device for livestock and poultry farming, which has the advantage that the feed can be evenly placed during feeding, avoiding feed accumulation and thus preventing nutritional imbalance in livestock and poultry.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated continuous feeding device for livestock and poultry farming, comprising a main support, a movable structure provided on the inner side of the main support, a storage structure provided inside the movable structure, a discharge port fixedly connected to the lower surface of the storage structure, an annular groove provided inside the discharge port, a discharge hub rotatably connected in the annular groove, a first fixing block fixedly connected to the left surface of the discharge hub, a second fixing block fixedly connected to the right surface of the discharge port, a torsion spring fixedly connected between the second fixing block and the first fixing block, the torsion spring being sleeved on the surface of the discharge hub, a lever fixedly connected to the front surface of the discharge hub, a first baffle fixedly connected to the upper surface of the discharge hub, and a second baffle fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge port.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: a third fixing block is fixedly connected to the front surface of the main bracket, a crossbeam is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the third fixing block, the surface of the crossbeam is provided with holes and grooves, a limit block is movably connected inside, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the front surface of the limit block, and an adjustment structure is provided inside the mounting plate.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the movable structure includes a fixed frame fixedly connected to the inner surface of the main support, a motor fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame, a threaded rod fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, an internal threaded block threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, the internal threaded block being movably connected to the interior of the fixed frame, a fourth fixed block fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixed frame, a limit support rod fixedly connected to the interior of the fourth fixed block, and a slider movably connected to the surface of the limit support rod.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the storage structure includes a storage barrel fixedly connected to the side of the internal thread block, the upper part of the storage barrel is provided with a feed inlet, and the lower surface of the feed inlet is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the discharge port.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the adjustment structure includes a bolt knob rotatably connected inside the crossbeam, the surface of the bolt knob being threadedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate, and a limit rod being fixedly connected to the left front surface of the crossbeam, the limit rod being movably connected to the inside of the mounting plate.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the surface of the first baffle is provided with a first sector-shaped hole, and the surface of the second baffle is provided with a second sector-shaped hole.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: a mounting base plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the main support, and a feeding trough is provided on the inner side of the mounting base plate. The lower surfaces of both the mounting base plate and the feeding trough are in contact with the ground.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses the resistance generated by the contact between the lever and the limiting block to drive the rotation of the discharge port, thereby causing the first baffle fixedly installed on the upper surface of the discharge port and the second baffle fixedly connected inside the discharge port to be in a misaligned state. At the same time, because the first sector hole and the second sector hole intersect, the feed can fall from the inside of the storage tank into the inside of the feeding trough. When the storage tank is located at both ends of the fixed frame, the lever does not contact the limiting block. Due to the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring, the first baffle is reset to the initial state, thereby stopping the feed supply. This device enables the feed to be evenly placed when feeding, avoiding feed accumulation and thus preventing nutritional imbalance in livestock and poultry.
[0014] 2. This utility model changes the distance between the mounting plate and the crossbar by rotating the bolt knob. The limiting rod limits the mounting plate, and due to the design of the length of the limiting rod, the extension of the limiting block will not cause the storage tank to move malfunction. The feeding amount can be changed by rotating the lever. This device can change the output of the storage tank when moving and feeding by fine adjustment of the bolt knob, making the device more practical and the feeding more scientific and reasonable.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides an automated continuous feeding device for livestock and poultry farming, including a main support 1. A movable structure is provided on the inner side of the main support 1. A storage structure is provided inside the movable structure. A discharge port 2 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the storage structure. An annular groove 3 is opened inside the discharge port 2. A discharge hub 4 is rotatably connected in the annular groove 3. A first fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the discharge hub 4. A second fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the discharge port 2. A torsion spring 7 is fixedly connected between the second fixing block 6 and the first fixing block 5. The torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the surface of the discharge hub 4. A lever 8 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the discharge hub 4. A first baffle 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the discharge hub 4. A second baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge port 2.
[0024] When the staff needs to feed the livestock and poultry, the motor 17 is started. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 17 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 18, which in turn drives the internal threaded block 19 to move inside the fixed frame 16. This causes the discharge port 4 and the discharge port 2 to move synchronously, so that the lever 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the discharge port 4 impacts the limiting block 14, causing the discharge port 4 to rotate a certain angle in the annular groove 3. At the same time, since the first fan-shaped hole 24 on the surface of the first baffle 9 and the second fan-shaped hole 25 on the surface of the second baffle 10 intersect, the feed inside the storage tank 20 is transferred from the lower port of the discharge port 4 into the feeding trough 27. When the lever 8 and the limiting block 14 are no longer in contact, the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 7 returns the discharge port 4 to its original position, thus stopping the feeding.
[0025] Among them, the front surface of the main bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a third fixing block 11, the inner surface of the third fixing block 11 is fixedly connected to a cross frame 12, the surface of the cross frame 12 is provided with a hole groove 13, and the interior is movably connected to a limit block 14, the front surface of the limit block 14 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 15, and the interior of the mounting plate 15 is provided with an adjustment structure.
[0026] When staff need to feed livestock and poultry an appropriate amount of feed according to the situation, they rotate the bolt knob 22. Since the bolt knob 22 is located inside the crossbeam 12 and rotates without changing its position, and since the mounting plate 15 is threadedly connected to the bolt knob 22, rotating the bolt knob 22 can adjust the distance between the mounting plate 15 and the crossbeam 12, thereby changing the length of the limit block 14 extending from one end of the slot 13. At the same time, since the limit block 14 is close to the lever 8, the angle of rotation of the discharge port 4 is larger, which makes the intersection area of the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25 larger, thus allowing more feed to be fed, and vice versa.
[0027] The movable structure includes a fixed frame 16 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the main support 1. A motor 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 16. A threaded rod 18 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 17. An internal threaded block 19 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 18. The internal threaded block 19 is movably connected to the interior of the fixed frame 16. A fourth fixed block 28 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixed frame 16. A limit support rod 29 is fixedly connected to the interior of the fourth fixed block 28. A slider 30 is movably connected to the surface of the limit support rod 29.
[0028] By starting the motor 17, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 17 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 18. Since the internal threaded block 19 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 18, the internal threaded block 19 moves inside the fixed frame 16. At the same time, the fourth fixed block 28 provides support force to the limiting support rod 29, and the cooperation between the slider 30 and the limiting support rod 29 limits the movement of the storage tank 20 and also assists the movement of the storage tank 20.
[0029] The storage structure includes a storage tank 20 fixedly connected to the side of the internal threaded block 19. The upper part of the storage tank 20 is provided with a feed inlet 21, and the lower surface of the feed inlet 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the discharge outlet 2.
[0030] Feed is stored inside the storage tank 20, and continuous feeding is achieved by moving the storage tank 20 back and forth. At the same time, when the storage tank 20 stops, the staff can feed the inside of the storage tank 20 from the top of the feed inlet 21.
[0031] The adjustment structure includes a bolt knob 22 rotatably connected inside the crossbeam 12. The surface of the bolt knob 22 is threadedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 15. A limit rod 23 is fixedly connected to the left front surface of the crossbeam 12. The limit rod 23 is movably connected to the inside of the mounting plate 15.
[0032] The distance between the mounting plate 15 and the crossbeam 12 can be changed by rotating the bolt knob 22. At the same time, the mounting plate 15 is limited by the limiting rod 23, thus ensuring the adjustable stability of the mounting plate 15.
[0033] The first baffle 9 has a first sector-shaped hole 24 on its surface, and the second baffle 10 has a second sector-shaped hole 25 on its surface.
[0034] Feed is supplied through the cooperation of the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25. When the storage tank 20 is in the initial state, the intersection area of the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25 is zero, and no feed is fed. When the push bar 8 contacts the limit block 14, the first baffle 9 rotates, so that the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25 contact, thereby feeding the device, and the amount of feed is determined by the intersection area.
[0035] The main support 1 has a mounting base plate 26 fixedly connected to its lower surface. A feeding trough 27 is provided on the inner side of the mounting base plate 26. The lower surfaces of both the mounting base plate 26 and the feeding trough 27 are in contact with the ground.
[0036] The device can be installed in the livestock and poultry breeding area by installing the base plate 26 so that the device can realize automated continuous feeding. The feeding trough 27 is installed in the pre-installed position on the ground, and the livestock and poultry can get food inside the feeding trough 27.
[0037] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0038] When the staff needs to feed the livestock and poultry, the motor 17 is started. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 17 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 18, which in turn drives the internal threaded block 19 to move inside the fixed frame 16. This causes the discharge port 4 and the discharge port 2 to move synchronously, so that the lever 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the discharge port 4 impacts the limiting block 14, causing the discharge port 4 to rotate a certain angle in the annular groove 3. At the same time, since the first fan-shaped hole 24 on the surface of the first baffle 9 and the second fan-shaped hole 25 on the surface of the second baffle 10 intersect, the feed inside the storage tank 20 is transferred from the lower port of the discharge port 4 into the feeding trough 27. When the lever 8 and the limiting block 14 are no longer in contact, the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 7 returns the discharge port 4 to its original position, thus stopping the feeding.
[0039] When staff need to feed livestock and poultry an appropriate amount of feed according to the situation, they rotate the bolt knob 22. Since the bolt knob 22 is located inside the crossbeam 12 and rotates without changing its position, and since the mounting plate 15 is threadedly connected to the bolt knob 22, rotating the bolt knob 22 can adjust the distance between the mounting plate 15 and the crossbeam 12, thereby changing the length of the limit block 14 extending from one end of the slot 13. At the same time, since the limit block 14 is close to the lever 8, the angle of rotation of the discharge port 4 is larger, which makes the intersection area of the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25 larger, thus allowing more feed to be fed, and vice versa.
[0040] By starting the motor 17, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 17 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 18. Since the internal threaded block 19 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 18, the internal threaded block 19 moves inside the fixed frame 16. At the same time, the fourth fixed block 28 provides support force to the limiting support rod 29, and the cooperation between the slider 30 and the limiting support rod 29 limits the movement of the storage tank 20 and also assists the movement of the storage tank 20.
[0041] Feed is stored inside the storage tank 20, and continuous feeding is achieved by moving the storage tank 20 back and forth. At the same time, when the storage tank 20 stops, the staff can feed the inside of the storage tank 20 from the top of the feed inlet 21.
[0042] The distance between the mounting plate 15 and the crossbeam 12 can be changed by rotating the bolt knob 22. At the same time, the mounting plate 15 is limited by the limiting rod 23, thus ensuring the adjustable stability of the mounting plate 15.
[0043] Feed is supplied through the cooperation of the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25. When the storage tank 20 is in the initial state, the intersection area of the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25 is zero, and no feed is fed. When the push bar 8 contacts the limit block 14, the first baffle 9 rotates, so that the first sector hole 24 and the second sector hole 25 contact, thereby feeding the device, and the amount of feed is determined by the intersection area.
[0044] The device can be installed in the livestock and poultry breeding area by installing the base plate 26 so that the device can realize automated continuous feeding. The feeding trough 27 is installed in the pre-installed position on the ground, and the livestock and poultry can get food inside the feeding trough 27.
