Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of egg-laying hen farming equipment, specifically to an automatic feeding and precise metering and adjustment device for egg-laying hens. Background Technology

[0002] In egg-laying hen farming, feed costs account for a large proportion of the total cost, and scientific and reasonable feeding is crucial to improving farming efficiency. Traditional egg-laying hen feeding methods mostly involve manual feeding, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the amount of feed given.

[0003] While automatic feeding devices exist on the market, their accuracy is limited. Although they can measure and feed laying hens, the measurement is inaccurate and sometimes too much or too little. This makes it difficult to precisely adjust the feed amount based on the hen's growth stage, weight, and egg production rate, leading to feed waste or unbalanced nutrient intake and increasing the cost of raising laying hens. Furthermore, the limited automation requires frequent manual intervention, further increasing breeding costs and management difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic feeding and precise metering and adjustment device for laying hens. It solves the problems of large metering errors and insufficient metering accuracy in traditional automatic feeding devices for laying hens, avoiding situations where there is sometimes too much feed and sometimes too little feed. Therefore, it can accurately feed according to the growth stage, weight and egg production rate of laying hens, and avoid feed waste, thereby reducing the cost of raising laying hens.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding and precise metering and adjustment device for laying hens, wherein a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hopper, and a discharge port is fixedly connected to the lower end of the feeding pipe.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding and precise metering and adjustment device for laying hens, including a hopper 1, a feeding pipe 102 fixedly connected to the lower end of the hopper 1, a discharge port 103 fixedly connected to the lower end of the feeding pipe 102, a rotating disk 104 rotatably connected to both ends of the discharge port 103, a feeding roller 105 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the rotating disk 104, and multiple sets of feed bins 106 formed on the outer surface of the feeding roller 105. A baffle 108 is slidably provided inside the multiple sets of feed bins 106, and one side surface of the baffle 108 is fixed... A baffle plate 5 is connected, with one end of the baffle plate 5 passing through the hopper 106 and one of the rotating disks 104 and fixedly connected to a turntable 501. The baffle plate 5 is slidably connected to the hopper 106 and one of the rotating disks 104. An adjustment component is provided inside the turntable 501. A monitoring component is provided on the outer surface of the discharge port 103. A drive mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the other rotating disk 104. A support plate 4 is provided below the drive mechanism. One end of the support plate 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the discharge port 103. A dispersing mechanism is provided below the support plate 4.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the adjustment component includes a lead screw II 503. One end of the lead screw II 503 is rotatably connected to the turntable 501. A protective pad 502 is sleeved on the inner side of one end of the lead screw II 503. The protective pad 502 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the turntable 501. The other end of the lead screw II 503 passes through the rotating disk 104 and is threadedly connected to the feeding roller 105. By cooperating with the feeding roller 105 in the adjustment component, the baffle plate 5 can be pushed into the interior of the discharge port 103. Therefore, the loading length of the feed hopper 106 can be adjusted, which facilitates precise feeding of the laying hens according to their growth.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the side surface of the conveying roller 105 is symmetrically provided with side baffles 107. The two ends of the side baffles 107 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge port 103. The side baffles 107 can block the feed and prevent the feed from spilling from the gap between the conveying roller 105 and the discharge port 103.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the monitoring component includes a chute 201, with a scale line 202 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute 201. A cover plate 2 is slidably connected inside the chute 201, and a magnet 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the cover plate 2. The magnet 203 is attracted to the outer surface of the turntable 501. Through the chute 201, the scale line 202 and the cover plate 2, the staff can easily and clearly know the amount of feed being fed, further improving the feeding accuracy.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes a geared motor 3, which is fixedly installed on one side surface of the discharge port 103. One end of the geared motor 3 is fixedly connected to a pulley group 301, and one end of the pulley group 301 is fixedly connected to another set of rotating disks 104. The drive mechanism can conveniently drive the conveying roller 105 to rotate, thereby feeding the feed inside the hopper 1 into the feeding trough.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the spreading mechanism includes a lead screw I 405, which passes through a support plate 4 and is threadedly connected to the support plate 4. A scraper 402 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the lead screw I 405. Multiple sets of upright plates 403 are slidably connected inside the scraper 402. The upper end of the upright plate 403 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the scraper 402 by a spring 404. A limit rod 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the scraper 402. The upper end of the limit rod 401 passes through the support plate 4 and is slidably connected to the support plate 4. Through the upright plates 403 and the scraper 402 in the spreading mechanism, the feed can be spread evenly and then dispersed, avoiding uneven feeding in the feeding trough and preventing some laying hens from not being able to eat the feed.

[0027] In use, feed is first poured into the hopper 1. Then, the operator determines the amount of feed based on the growth of the laying hens. Next, the operator rotates the lead screw II 503 in the adjusting mechanism in the reverse direction. This pushes the turntable 501 closer to the discharge port 103. The baffle plate 5 on the inner surface of the turntable 501 moves along the feed hopper 106, thus covering the opening of the feed hopper 106. As the turntable 501 approaches the discharge port 103, the magnet 203 drives the cover plate 2 to slide into the groove 201. The cover plate 2 then covers the scale line 202, allowing the operator to easily determine the discharge port 103. 3. The amount of feed fed through the hopper 106 is adjusted to a certain value. Then, the screw II 503 is stopped, and the reduction motor 3 in the drive mechanism is started. At this time, the reduction motor 3 drives the rotating disk 104 and the conveying roller 105 to rotate through the pulley group 301. Then, the conveying roller 105 feeds the feed through the hopper 106 in a quantitative manner. Then, the operator rotates the screw I 405 in the spreading mechanism. At this time, the screw I 405 pushes the scraper 402 down. Then, the scraper 402 and the vertical plate 403 that is slidably connected inside the scraper 402 will spread the feed transported from the hopper 106 evenly, ensuring that every chicken can eat the feed.
