Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a hay storage room for sheep feeding. Background Technology

[0002] Hay storage facilities are buildings or facilities specifically designed for storing hay or feed. Their primary function is to provide a protective environment for the hay, preventing it from being affected by weather changes, humidity, fire risks, and animal damage. Current hay storage methods typically involve manually moving hay to the storage facility using mobile equipment, then piling it directly on the ground and stacking it for storage. However, this manual method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and makes it difficult to achieve layered storage, leading to poor ventilation. Prolonged stacking can also cause the hay to compact and clump, affecting its quality and usability. Furthermore, when retrieving hay, handlers often need to climb or use tools, increasing labor intensity and potentially causing waste and contamination.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a hay storage room for sheep that can automatically move the feeding plate to place hay in layers and can also automatically remove the feeding plate for use, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading and management of hay, promote ventilation, improve the efficiency of use, and be easy to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] A type of hay storage shed for sheep, such as Figures 1-6As shown, the assembly includes a stacking chamber body 1, an ultrasonic rodent repeller 3, support blocks 6, a feeding plate 7, a motor 8, support rods 9, lead screws 91, a slider 101, a ventilation assembly, and a material handling assembly. Two ultrasonic rodent repellers 3 are connected to the left and right sides of the stacking chamber body 1, and another ultrasonic rodent repeller 3 is connected to the lower rear of the stacking chamber body 1. Six support blocks 6 are connected to the inner sides of the front and rear sides of the stacking chamber body 1. The feeding plate 7 is slidably engaged between two support blocks 6 at the same height. All support blocks 6 are U-shaped to facilitate the movement of the feeding plate 7. The feeding plate 7 is located below... Each side has one hundred slots for easy docking. Support rods 9 connect to each of the three adjacent support blocks 6. Motors 8 are connected to the upper side of each support rod 9. Lead screws 91 are rotatably connected to each support rod 9. Each lead screw 91 is connected to the output shaft of the adjacent motor 8. A slider 101 is threaded onto each lead screw 91, and the slider 101 is slidably connected to the adjacent support rod 9. The stacking chamber body 1 is equipped with a ventilation assembly for ventilating when storing hay. The ventilation assembly includes a humidity sensor 2, an insect screen 4, and a fan 5. The humidity sensor 2 is connected to the lower inner side of the stacking house body 1. Four insect-proof nets 4 are connected to the front and rear sides of the upper part of the stacking house body 1. Four fans 5 are rotatably connected to the front and rear parts of the stacking house body 1. A material-grabbing assembly for loading and unloading hay is provided on the slider 101. The material-grabbing assembly includes a first support plate 10, an electric push rod 102, a second support plate 11, a cylinder 111, a material-grabbing plate 12, and a locking block 121. The first support plate 10 is connected between the two sliders 101 on the left and between the two sliders 101 on the right. The electric push rods 102 are connected to both the front and rear parts of the support plate 10. The extension and retraction ends of the two electric push rods 102 on the same first support plate 10 are connected to the second support plate 11. The second support plate 11 is in contact with the first support plate 10 on the same side. The cylinders 111 are connected to both the front and rear parts of the second support plate 11. The material picking plate 12 is connected to the extension and retraction ends of the cylinders 111 on the same second support plate 11. The material picking plate 12 is in contact with the second support plate 11 on the same side. One hundred clamping blocks 121 are connected to the upper side of the material picking plate 12.

[0022] This device can be used when it is necessary to store hay for sheep feeding. The feeding plate 7 is placed on the feeding plates 12 on both sides, so that the slots engage with the locking blocks 121. The hay is then placed on the feeding plate 7. The motor 8 is then started, driving the lead screw 91 to rotate. Under the action of the screw, the slider 101 moves along the support rod 9, thereby moving the first support plate 10 and the second support plate 11. The support blocks 6 are U-shaped to facilitate the movement of the feeding plate 7. After moving to the appropriate position, the motor 8 is turned off. Then, the cylinder 111 is started, driving the feeding plate 12 to move, thus discharging the hay. The plate 7 moves to the height of the support block 6. After moving to the appropriate height, the cylinder 111 is closed, and the electric push rod 102 is activated. The electric push rod 102 drives the second support plate 11 to move, causing the feeding plate 7 to move and engage with the support block 6. Then, the cylinder 111 reverses its operation, causing the picking plate 12 to disengage from the feeding plate 7, and the locking block 121 to disengage from the locking slot. Next, the electric push rod 102 reverses its operation, causing the second support plate 11 to move in the opposite direction and reset. Then, the motor 8 reverses its operation, causing the lead screw 91 to rotate in the opposite direction. Under the action of the thread, the slider 101 moves in the opposite direction and resets, so that the first support plate 10 and the second support block 6 are engaged. The support plate 11 is moved in the reverse direction to reset, and then the new feeding plate 7 is placed on the receiving plate 12. The above operation is repeated to move and engage the feeding plate 7, thus stratifying and storing the hay. During storage, when the humidity sensor 2 detects high humidity, the fan 5 is activated to accelerate air circulation, achieving ventilation and dehumidification. The insect net 4 prevents pests from entering, and the ultrasonic rodent repeller 3 repels rodents. This system effectively repels rodents, ventilates, and dehumidifies the hay during storage, reducing hay loss and moisture accumulation, preventing contamination and mold, extending the shelf life of the hay, and ensuring its quality. When the hay needs to be used, the [unclear text - possibly a device or mechanism] is activated. Motor 8 drives lead screw 91 to rotate, causing slider 101 to move under the action of the screw thread. This, in turn, moves first support plate 10 and second support plate 11. After moving to a suitable position, motor 8 is turned off. Then, electric push rod 102 is activated, causing second support plate 11 to move. After moving to a suitable position, cylinder 111 is activated, causing material-retrieving plate 12 to move, making the locking block 121 engage with the locking slot. Then, electric push rod 102 reverses its operation, causing second support plate 11 to move in the opposite direction and reset. This causes discharging plate 7 to move and disengage from support block 6, thereby removing hay from support block.Subsequently, the cylinder 111 operates in reverse, causing the material-retrieving plate 12 to move in reverse and reset to contact the second support plate 11. Then, the motor 8 operates in reverse, causing the lead screw 91 to rotate in reverse. Under the action of the thread, the slider 101 moves in reverse and resets, causing the first support plate 10 and the second support plate 11 to move in reverse and reset. The hay on the feeding plate 7 is then removed for use. This allows for automatic movement of the feeding plate 7 to layer the hay while simultaneously removing it for use, facilitating the loading and unloading and management of hay, promoting ventilation, improving retrieval efficiency, and providing convenient operation. After use, the motor 8, fan 5, electric push rod 102, and cylinder 111 can be turned off.
