Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, specifically to a poultry feed dispensing device for poultry farming. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale development of poultry farming, the efficiency of feed dispensing devices directly affects farming costs and poultry growth. In traditional broiler farms, feed is mainly dispensed using open long troughs or round feeding trays.

[0003] Patent CN222193670U discloses an automated feeding device for breeder chicken houses, comprising a main body and an auxiliary body. The auxiliary body is located above the main body. The main body includes a device body, a feeding trough, and a U-shaped plate. The feeding trough is located above the device body, and the U-shaped plate is fixedly installed at the rear end of the upper part of the feeding trough. The main body also includes an electric motor, a threaded rod, a connecting nut, a support plate, and a feeding head. This automated feeding device for breeder chicken houses, through the installation of the main body, allows operators to move the feeding head at a uniform speed during feeding operations. This ensures that the feed for the breeder chickens is evenly distributed inside the feeding trough, expanding the feed spreading area and preventing feed accumulation that could lead to chickens crowding and competing for food. This improves the automation and safety of the device body.

[0004] However, the poultry feeding devices described above still have the following problems: First, broilers have the habit of poking at the feed with their beaks when pecking, and this natural behavior causes a large amount of feed to be pushed out of the trough and scattered on the ground, making it unusable. According to statistics, feed waste caused by poking at the feed in traditional troughs can reach 15% to 20% of the total feed. Furthermore, the scattered feed is prone to dampness and mold, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of poultry diseases, and also increasing the workload and labor costs of cleaning. In addition, open troughs can easily lead to dominant chickens occupying advantageous positions, while weaker chickens do not eat enough, affecting the overall uniformity of the flock's growth. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a poultry feed dispensing device for the livestock industry, which improves the feeding effect of feed dispensing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a poultry feed dispensing device for aquaculture, comprising a support plate, with support columns fixedly connected to both ends of the support plate, and a plurality of feeding cylinders equidistantly connected to the bottom of the support plate, each of the feeding cylinders having a feeding opening on its side wall near one end of the support plate, and a plurality of feeding hoppers connected to the top of the support plate, the feeding hoppers being respectively connected to the plurality of feeding cylinders.

[0007] Furthermore, several feeding tubes have U-shaped scrapers slidably connected to their inner walls, with mounting rods fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped scrapers. Several mounting rods are connected to rotating components on the side near the support plate. The support plate has a cavity inside, with several rotating components extending into the cavity. A linkage component is located inside the cavity, with one end of several rotating components extending into the cavity connected to the linkage component. The bottom of the feeding hopper is fixedly connected to and connected to a connecting pipe, which passes through the support plate downwards and connects to the feeding tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a rotating rod and a transmission gear. One end of the rotating rod is connected to the middle position of the mounting rod away from the U-shaped scraper. The other end of the rotating rod passes upward through the support plate and is fixedly connected to the transmission gear. The transmission gear is located in the cavity and is connected to the linkage assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating rod is rotatably fixed to the support plate via bearings.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting bolt is connected to the side of the mounting rod away from the rotating rod, and the threaded rod of the mounting bolt passes upward through the mounting rod and is threadedly connected to the rotating rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the linkage assembly includes a rack plate and two U-shaped limiting strips. One side of the rack plate simultaneously meshes with several transmission gears. The two U-shaped limiting strips are located at both ends of the rack plate away from the transmission gears. Both U-shaped limiting strips are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and the outer wall of the rack plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the two U-shaped limiting strips. A drive assembly is connected to the side of the rack plate away from the transmission gears and in the gap between the two U-shaped limiting strips. The drive assembly is connected to the support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a reciprocating motor and a drive gear. The reciprocating motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. The output shaft of the reciprocating motor passes through the cavity and is fixedly connected to the drive gear. The drive gear meshes with the side of the rack plate away from the transmission gear.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected with several external threaded rings, and the top openings of several feeding tubes are all provided with threaded grooves. The feeding tubes are respectively threadedly connected to several external threaded rings through the threaded grooves.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This type of poultry feed dispensing device for aquaculture has a feeding opening on the top side wall of the feeding cylinder. When broilers peck at the feed pellets in the cylinder, the scattered feed can slide down the inner side wall of the feeding cylinder to the bottom and be collected. This not only reduces the waste caused by the scattering of feed, but also makes it easier for the scattered feed to gather back at the bottom, so that the broilers can continue to peck at it.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 8 A poultry feed dispensing device for aquaculture includes a support plate 1, with support columns 11 fixedly connected to both ends of the support plate 1. Several feeding tubes 2 are equidistantly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1. Each feeding tube 2 has a feeding inlet 201 on its side wall near one end of the support plate 1. Several feeding hoppers 3 are connected to the top of the support plate 1, and the feeding hoppers 3 are respectively connected to the feeding tubes 2.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the main improvement of this utility model lies in improving the feeding effect of broiler chickens, such as... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in use, the poultry feed dispensing device for livestock farming of this utility model consists of multiple feeding cylinders 2 supported on the ground by a support plate 1 and two support columns 11. When dispensing feed, feed pellets are poured into the feeding cylinders 2 through the corresponding feeding hoppers 3. The broiler chickens can then feed by inserting their heads into the feeding cylinders 2 through the feeding opening 201. During feeding, when the broiler chickens poke at the feed with their beaks, the splashed feed is blocked on the inner side of the feeding cylinders 2 and falls down along the inner wall of the feeding cylinders 2 to the bottom of the feeding cylinders 2 to re-gather for the broiler chickens to peck at. The feeding opening 201 is designed with... The timing is set with a feeder slightly larger than the broiler's head to ensure that the broiler can extend its head and neck into the feeder 2 while minimizing feed splashing from the feed inlet 201. This greatly reduces feed waste. The feed inlet 201 can also be elongated to facilitate the broiler's neck movement up and down within it while pecking. The design of a single feed inlet 201 on the side of the feeder 2 prevents other broilers from extending their heads inside while the broiler is feeding, reducing fighting, food guarding, and competition during feeding and improving the overall feeding efficiency of broiler farming.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, several feeding tubes 2 are slidably connected to the inner walls of each U-shaped scraper 4. The two ends of the U-shaped scraper 4 are fixedly connected to the mounting rods 5. Several mounting rods 5 are connected to the side of the support plate 1 with a rotating component 6. The support plate 1 has a cavity 101 inside. Several rotating components 6 extend into the cavity 101. A linkage component 7 is provided in the cavity 101. One end of several rotating components 6 extending into the cavity 101 is connected to the linkage component 7. The bottom of the feeding hopper 3 is fixedly connected to and connected to a connecting pipe 31. The connecting pipe 31 passes through the support plate 1 and connects to the feeding tube 2. The linkage component 7 can simultaneously drive multiple rotating components 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting rods 5 and U-shaped scrapers 4 inside the multiple feeding tubes 2 to rotate. The rotating U-shaped scrapers 4 can scrape the inner wall of the feeding tube 2, so that feed particles that may be attached to the inner wall of the feeding tube 2 can be scraped off and concentrated at the bottom of the feeding tube 2, making it easier for broiler chickens to peck at them. At the same time, it can also prevent feed particles from being attached to the inner wall of the feeding tube 2 for a long time and causing mold, thus improving the hygiene inside the feeding tube 2.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 8As shown, the rotating assembly 6 includes a rotating rod 61 and a transmission gear 62. One end of the rotating rod 61 is connected to the middle position of the mounting rod 5 away from the U-shaped scraper 4. The other end of the rotating rod 61 extends upward through the support plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 62. The transmission gear 62 is located inside the cavity 101 and is connected to the linkage assembly 7. The linkage assembly 7 drives the rotating rod 61 and the mounting rod 5 at the other end of the rotating rod 61 to rotate by driving the transmission gear 62 to rotate.

[0030] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating rod 61 is rotatably fixed to the support plate 1 via bearings. The rotating rod 61 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 1 by bearings and maintains rotation. The bearings make the rotation operation of the rotating rod 61 smoother and more stable.

[0031] like Figure 8 As shown, a mounting bolt 51 is connected to the side of the mounting rod 5 away from the rotating rod 61. The threaded rod of the mounting bolt 51 passes upward through the mounting rod 5 and is threadedly connected to the rotating rod 61. The mounting rod 5 can be fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod 61 by tightening the mounting bolt 51 from the bottom upward, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and replacement of the mounting rod 5 and the U-shaped scraper 4 at the bottom of the rotating rod 61.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the linkage component 7 includes a rack plate 71 and two U-shaped limiting strips 72. One side of the rack plate 71 meshes with several transmission gears 62 simultaneously. The two U-shaped limiting strips 72 are located at both ends of the rack plate 71 away from the transmission gears 62. Both U-shaped limiting strips 72 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 101, and the outer wall of the rack plate 71 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the two U-shaped limiting strips 72. A drive component 8 is connected to the side of the rack plate 71 away from the transmission gears 62 and in the gap between the two U-shaped limiting strips 72. The drive component 8 is connected to the support plate 1. The rack plate 71, through the cooperation of the U-shaped limiting strip 72 and multiple transmission gears 62, will not sway freely within the U-shaped limiting strip 72. The drive assembly 8 can drive the rack plate 71 to move laterally between the two U-shaped limiting strips 72, thereby simultaneously driving multiple transmission gears 62 to rotate. This allows the multiple U-shaped scrapers 4 inside the feeding tube 2 to perform scraping operations synchronously. It should be noted that when the rack plate 71 is driven to move by the drive assembly 8, it moves laterally back and forth, thereby rotating within the cavity 101 and driving the transmission gears 62 to rotate back and forth continuously. Furthermore, each reciprocating rotation of the transmission gears 62 involves a large amplitude rotation of at least one revolution, ensuring that the U-shaped scraper 4 can complete a complete scraping operation on the entire inner wall of the feeding tube 2.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the drive assembly 8 includes a reciprocating motor 81 and a drive gear 82. The reciprocating motor 81 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1. The output axis of the reciprocating motor 81 extends upward through the cavity 101 and is then fixedly connected to the drive gear 82. The drive gear 82 meshes with the side of the rack plate 71 away from the transmission gear 62. The reciprocating motor 81 drives the drive gear 82 to rotate reciprocally, which in turn drives the rack plate 71 meshing with it to move laterally back and forth.

[0034] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, several external threaded rings 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1, and several feeding tubes 2 have threaded grooves 202 at their top openings. The feeding tubes 2 are threadedly connected to the external threaded rings 12 through the threaded grooves 202. The feeding tubes 2 can be tightened onto the external threaded rings 12 at the bottom of the support plate 1 through the threaded grooves 202, which makes it easy to remove the feeding tubes 2 completely from the bottom of the support plate 1 for cleaning. This avoids mold growth inside the feeding tubes 2 after long-term use, which would affect the growth environment of the broiler chickens. At the same time, the feeding tubes 2 can be replaced when they are damaged.

[0035] 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 these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
