Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically, it relates to a feeding device for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and social progress, the social demand for chickens is increasing. Therefore, establishing chicken farms and centralized chicken breeding bases has become the mainstream breeding method in modern chicken farming. Ecological chicken farming is a method different from modern cage farming, completely returning to nature and implementing free-range grazing. It is based on selecting superior breeds of chickens and combining penned living with free-range grazing in mountainous areas. The chickens primarily forage for insects, tender grass, and various fruits, supplemented by artificial feed, to improve the nutritional value of the chickens. Currently, in ecological chicken farming, artificial feed is either placed in feed troughs or scattered directly on the ground. Because of the external breeding environment, feeding attracts sparrows and other small animals, leading to feed waste. Furthermore, the amount of feed is difficult to control; too much feed results in waste, while too little is insufficient for the chickens.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a feeding device for livestock farming includes a feeding trough 1 and a protective cover 2. Rotary support seats 3 are fixedly installed at the upper positions of both ends of the feeding trough 1. A rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating support seat 3. The outer side of the middle position of the rotating rod 4 is connected to the protective cover 2 via a connecting sleeve 5. A feeding door 24 is opened on the feeding trough 1 at a position corresponding to the protective cover 2. A first stable support 8 and a second stable support 9 are respectively installed at the lower two ends of the feeding trough 1. Rotary fitting sleeves are fixedly installed on the outer sides of both the first stable support 8 and the second stable support 9. 17. A foot support 13 is rotatably connected and installed inside the rotating fitting sleeve 17. Hanging nails 10 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the rotating rod 4. A hanging ring 11 is fixedly installed on the foot support 13. The hanging nails 10 and the hanging ring 11 are connected by a traction line 12. A feed inlet 23 is set in the middle position of the feeding trough 1, opposite to the feeding door 24. A transition box 15 is set outside the feed inlet 23. A support cylinder seat 14 is fixedly installed above the transition box 15. A feed storage bucket 6 is set on the support cylinder seat 14. A guide pad 25 is set inside the feeding trough 1.

[0025] The lower end of the support cylinder base 14 is provided with a discharge port 19. The discharge port 19 has a conical structure design to slow down the discharge speed. Below the discharge port 19, there is a guide plate 20. The guide plate 20 has an inclined structure design, and the inclined lower end of the guide plate 20 extends to the discharge port 19 of the feeding tank 1.

[0026] A plug-in mating block 21 is provided at the connection position between the transition box 15 and the feeding tank 1. A plug-in groove 22 is provided on the plug-in mating block 21. A plug-in baffle 18 is provided in the plug-in groove 22. The plug-in baffle 18 extends to the outside of the transition box 15 to facilitate plugging and unplugging operations.

[0027] The feed guide pad 25 has an arc-shaped cross-section and slopes downwards from the feed inlet 23 to both sides, which facilitates the distribution of feed to both ends of the feeding trough 1.

[0028] The feed storage bin 6 is made of transparent material, which makes it easy to see the remaining feed and replenish it in time. The top of the feed storage bin 6 has a feeding port 7, and the feeding port 7 is equipped with a sealing cap.

[0029] A support block 16 is provided below the transition box 15. The shape and specifications of the protective cover 2 are adapted to the shape of the feeding door 24. The size of the protective cover 2 is larger than that of the feeding door 24, and the protective cover 2 can completely cover the feeding door 24.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: feed is added into the feed storage tank 6 through the feed inlet 7. Under the action of gravity, the feed falls through the support cylinder seat 14 and the feed outlet 19. The guide plate 20 guides the feed to the feed outlet 19 and the feed enters the feeding trough 1. The feeding trough 1 is lined with a guide pad 25. The guide pad 25 has a sloping structure that guides to both ends, which facilitates the distribution of feed to both ends of the feeding trough 1. The bottom surface of the guide pad 25 has an arc structure design, which has a good fit with the feeding trough 1. The upper surface of the guide pad 25 has an arc structure design, which is used to control the feed from the feed outlet 19, so that the feed accumulates at the feed outlet 19. After accumulating a certain amount, it can block the feed from falling. As the chickens continue to eat, the feed in the feeding trough 1 decreases, and the feed will automatically fall to replenish it.

[0031] When the chickens are feeding, they step on the foot support 13. Due to the weight of the chickens, the foot support 13 rotates along the rotating fitting sleeve 17. During the rotation, the traction line 12 applies force to the hanging nail 10, causing the rotating rod 4 to rotate along the rotating support seat 3. During the rotation of the rotating rod 4, the protective cover 2 is opened, and the chickens can feed directly from the feeding door. When the chickens leave the foot support 13, the protective cover 2 closes, the foot support 13 returns to its original position, and the feeding trough 1 is in a sealed state.

[0032] The feeding device of this utility model is equipped with a feed storage bin 6, a feeding trough 1, and an automatically opening and closing protective cover 2. The protective cover 2 is opened mainly by the chickens stepping on the stepping support 13, which drives the protective cover 2 to open. The chickens can eat feed through the feeding door 24. After the chickens leave the stepping support 13, the protective cover 2 automatically resets and closes the feeding door 24. This can prevent other birds or small animals from stealing feed and reduce the probability of feed contamination. The feeding trough 1 is equipped with a feed guide pad 25. The feed guide pad 25 is inclined from the feed inlet 23 to both sides, which facilitates the distribution of feed to both ends of the feeding trough 1 and makes the feed have a good flat spreading effect in the length direction of the feeding trough 1. The setting of the plug baffle 18 facilitates the sealing of feed when the feeding device is moved as a whole, avoiding a large amount of feed being spilled during the movement and causing waste.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
