Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding devices, specifically relating to an automatic feeding and heat preservation box for young birds. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of bird breeding, wildlife rescue, and scientific research incubation, artificial feeding of young birds, especially chicks, has always been a key technical aspect. Because chicks' thermoregulation mechanisms are not yet fully developed, they are extremely sensitive to changes in environmental temperature. At the same time, their digestive systems are fragile, requiring them to consume constant-temperature liquid food at regular intervals and in fixed quantities. Precise control of feeding temperature, feeding amount, and environmental temperature and humidity directly affects the survival rate of young birds.

[0003] Traditional bird feeding equipment often uses simple heating elements with manual temperature control switches, lacking real-time temperature monitoring and intelligent adjustment systems. This makes it prone to temperature fluctuations, which can cause birds to get cold or overheat. Feeding birds relies on manual operation, requiring frequent food preparation and feeding through syringes or other tools. This is labor-intensive and makes it difficult to ensure precise control of the amount of food, especially at night or in multi-batch feeding scenarios. Human error can lead to malnutrition in birds. Feeding equipment is also inconvenient to move. Traditional incubators are mostly fixed in place, making it cumbersome to operate when transferring birds, cleaning the environment, or repairing the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding and heat preservation box for young birds, which solves the problems of existing young bird feeding equipment being unable to maintain a constant temperature and quantitative feeding of food and being inconvenient to move.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides an automatic feeding and insulated box for young birds, including an insulated box, a movable support, and a feeder. The insulated box is suspended on the movable support, and the feeder is clipped to the outside of the side wall of the insulated box.

[0007] The bottom of the insulated box is equipped with an electric heating plate, on which a detachable milk container is mounted.

[0008] In a further technical solution, a temperature measuring instrument is installed on the side wall of the insulated box near the milk container, and a controller is installed on the outside of the side wall of the insulated box. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature measuring instrument and the pressure sensor.

[0009] In a further technical solution, the movable support includes a vertical rod, a plurality of hanging rods are provided at the top of the vertical rod, a plurality of support legs are provided at the bottom of the vertical rod, and rollers are installed at the free ends of the support legs.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the feeder includes a handle, a feeding tube at the front end of the handle, the feeding tube passing through the handle and connected to a silicone tube, a display screen near the feeding tube on the handle, a temperature sensing chip and a pressure sensor installed at the bottom of the display screen, a fluid switch in the middle of the handle, and a magnetic rechargeable battery built into the rear of the handle.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the portion of the silicone tube extending to the outside of the insulated box is wrapped with an insulation layer.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the mobile support is equipped with a storage battery, which is electrically connected to an electric heating constant temperature plate, a peristaltic pump, a magnetic charging bracket, and a controller.

[0030] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feeder 3 includes a handle 301, with a feeding tube 302 at the front end of the handle 301. The feeding tube 302 passes through the handle 301 and connects to a silicone tube 104. A display screen 303 is located near the feeding tube 302 on the handle 301. A temperature sensor chip 304 and a pressure sensor 305 are installed at the bottom of the display screen 303. A fluid switch 306 is located in the middle of the handle 301, and a magnetic rechargeable battery 307 is built into the rear of the handle 301. By installing the feeding tube 302 at the front end of the handle 301 of the feeder 3, and connecting the feeding tube 302 through the handle 301 to the silicone tube 104, liquid food can be transferred from the silicone tube 104 to the feeding tube 302. A display screen 303 is located near the feeding tube 302 on the handle 301. A temperature sensor chip 304 and a pressure sensor 305 are installed at the bottom of the display screen 303 to display temperature and pressure information. The temperature sensor chip 304 is used to detect the temperature of the liquid food during feeding, and the pressure sensor 305 is used to detect the pressure of the feeding tube 302 during feeding. A fluid switch 306 is located in the middle of the handle 301 to control the flow of liquid food. A magnetic rechargeable battery 307 is built into the rear of the handle 301, which works with the magnetic charging bracket 106 on the side of the insulated box 1 to achieve charging. The display screen 303, temperature sensor chip 304, and pressure sensor 305 allow the operator to monitor the temperature and feeding pressure of the liquid food in real time during feeding, ensuring the safety and suitability of the feeding process. The fluid switch 306 facilitates the operator to control the delivery of liquid food and achieve precise feeding. The magnetic rechargeable battery 307 and the magnetic charging bracket 106 work together to facilitate the charging of the feeder 3 and improve ease of use.

[0031] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 2As shown, the portion of the silicone tube 104 extending to the outside of the incubator 1 is wrapped with an insulation layer 109. By wrapping the portion of the silicone tube 104 extending to the outside of the incubator 1 with the insulation layer 109, and using insulation cotton to fix the insulation layer 109 to the silicone tube 104 in a set manner, the insulation layer 109 can reduce the heat exchange between the liquid food inside the silicone tube 104 and the external environment, prevent the temperature of the liquid food from dropping during transportation, ensure that the liquid food delivered to the chicks is at a suitable temperature, and avoid affecting the health of the chicks due to excessively low temperatures.

[0032] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mobile support 2 suspends a battery 4, which is electrically connected to the electric heating constant temperature plate 101, the peristaltic pump 103, the magnetic charging bracket 106, and the controller 108. By suspending the battery 4 on the mobile support 2, and electrically connecting the battery 4 to the electric heating constant temperature plate 101, the peristaltic pump 103, the magnetic charging bracket 106, and the controller 108 via wires, power is provided to these components. The battery 4 can be a rechargeable battery for easy reuse. As an independent power source, the battery 4 allows the equipment to operate without external power, improving its mobility and applicability.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment differs from other embodiments in that it also includes a low-speed exhaust fan 5. The low-speed exhaust fan 5 is installed at the bottom of the side wall of the insulation box 1. The low-speed exhaust fan 5 is electrically connected to the controller 108. The insulation box 1 is provided with an exhaust port 501 corresponding to the position of the low-speed exhaust fan 5. An insulation cover 502 is provided on the outside of the low-speed exhaust fan 5. The insulation cover 502 is glued and fixed to the insulation box 1 by Velcro. A low-speed exhaust fan 5 is installed at the bottom of the side wall of the insulated box 1, and an exhaust vent 501 is opened at the corresponding position of the insulated box 1 to facilitate the exhaust of heat from inside the insulated box 1. An insulation cover 502 is installed on the outside of the low-speed exhaust fan 5. The insulation cover 502 is attached to the insulated box 1 with Velcro for easy installation and removal. The low-speed exhaust fan 5 can slowly exhaust the warm air inside the insulated box 1 and exchange some air with the outside, keeping the air inside the box fresh and avoiding the quality of liquid food being affected by poor air circulation. The insulation cover 502 plays a role in heat preservation outside the exhaust fan, reducing heat loss when the exhaust fan is not in use.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, this embodiment differs from other embodiments in that it also includes a movable clean bench 6, on which the incubator 1 can be placed. The movable clean bench 6, equipped with wheels for easy movement, allows the incubator 1 to be placed on its surface. The low-speed exhaust fan 5 of the incubator 1 faces the surface of the clean bench 6 to deliver warmth, providing a suitable feeding environment temperature for the chicks. The movable clean bench 6 provides a clean environment for the incubator 1, reducing the entry of external dust, bacteria, and other contaminants, thus lowering the risk of disease infection for the chicks.

[0037] In this embodiment of the utility model, an automatic feeding and warming box for young birds is implemented by bolting a vertical rod 201 to a bottom support leg 203 with rollers 204 to ensure stability. Two to four curved hanging rods 202 are installed at the top of the vertical rod 201, with hooks at the ends of the rods 202 for suspending the warming box 1 and the battery 4. The battery 4 is connected via wires to an electric heating constant temperature plate 101, a peristaltic pump 103, a magnetic charging bracket 106, and a controller 108, ensuring the device can operate without an external power source. The electric heating constant temperature plate 101 is fixed to the bottom of the warming box 1, and a detachable milk container 102 is placed on the electric heating constant temperature plate 101, ensuring good contact. The peristaltic pump 103 is then installed. On the electric heating constant temperature plate 101, a silicone tube 104 is inserted through the peristaltic pump 103. One end is connected to a pressure sensor 105 and extends into the bottom of the milk container 102. The other end extends through the side wall of the insulated box 1 to the outside. A temperature measuring instrument 107 is installed on the inner side wall of the insulated box 1 near the milk container 102, and a controller 108 is installed on the outer side wall. The temperature measuring instrument 107, pressure sensor 105, electric heating constant temperature plate 101, and peristaltic pump 103 are connected by wires. An exhaust vent 501 is reserved on the side wall of the insulated box 1. A low-speed exhaust fan 5 is installed at the exhaust vent 501. The exhaust fan is covered with an insulation cover 502. The feeding tube 302 of the feeder 3 is connected to the silicone tube 104 outside the insulated box 1. Next, to ensure smooth flow of liquid food, align the magnetic rechargeable battery 307 at the rear of the feeder 3 with the magnetic charging bracket 106 on the side of the incubator 1 for attachment and charging. Pour the prepared liquid food for the chicks into the detachable milk container 102 and install it on the electric heating constant temperature plate 101. The controller 108 presets the temperature range inside the incubator 1, and the temperature measuring instrument 107 monitors the temperature inside the box in real time. The controller 108 automatically adjusts the operation of the electric heating constant temperature plate 101 to keep the liquid food at a constant temperature. The silicone tube 104 and the outer insulation layer 109 reduce heat loss during the liquid food delivery process, ensuring that the liquid food temperature is suitable during feeding. Remove the feeder 3 from the magnetic charging bracket 106 and use the fluid switch 3 in the middle of the handle 301. The flow of liquid food is controlled by a temperature sensor chip 304, which detects the temperature of the liquid food in the feeding tube 302. The display screen 303 shows the temperature data in real time to ensure that it meets the feeding temperature requirements for young birds. Pressure sensor 2 305 monitors the feeding pressure to prevent young birds from choking due to abnormal pressure. The flow rate of liquid food is adjusted by a fluid switch 306 according to the size and amount of food consumed by the young birds. A peristaltic pump 103 provides stable power to deliver liquid food. Pressure sensor 105 detects the remaining amount of liquid food in the milk container 102 in real time. When the amount of liquid food is lower than the preset value, the controller 108 issues an alarm to remind the birds to replenish the liquid food. The universal casters 204 on the movable support 2 can be used to push the equipment to different breeding areas. Feeding can be carried out after the brake is locked, which improves the flexibility of operation. When the incubator 1 is placed on the clean bench 6 for use, the insulation cover 502 of the incubator 1 is opened and the low-speed exhaust fan 5 is turned on. The exhaust fan delivers the warm air in the incubator 1 to the platform of the clean bench 6, providing a warm feeding environment for the young birds.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
