Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, and specifically relates to an automatic feeding device for Euler sheep. Background Technology

[0002] The feed formulation for Oula sheep (highland Tibetan sheep) needs to be adapted to their cold resistance and tolerance to roughage, resulting in a much higher feed input cost compared to ordinary sheep.

[0003] In the current process of raising Oula sheep, some feed will clump and stick to the inner wall of the feeding trough due to not being eaten for a long time. In order to avoid wasting expensive feed, the breeders usually scrape off the dry feed in the feeding trough regularly and mix it with new feed before feeding it again. This results in increased feeding procedures and low automation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic feeding device for Euler sheep to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for Euler sheep, comprising a fixing mechanism, a moving mechanism, and an automatic mixing mechanism. The fixing mechanism includes two feeding troughs arranged in parallel on both sides of a channel, with the inner wall of the feeding troughs configured as a semi-circle. The moving mechanism includes a smart cart and a storage tank guide pipe. The smart cart is movably positioned in the channel, and the storage tank is positioned above the smart cart. Two guide pipes are configured, each connected to and fixed on both sides of the storage tank. The automatic mixing mechanism comprises two components, including a slide cylinder, a screw conveyor, a connecting frame, and a motor cover. The slide cylinder is slidably positioned within the feeding trough and is connected to the guide pipe. The screw conveyor is rotatably positioned within the slide cylinder. The connecting frame is fixed to the inner wall of one end of the slide cylinder. The motor cover is fixed to the connecting frame, and a servo motor is fixed inside the motor cover. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixed to the input shaft of the screw conveyor.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a circumferential cutting blade is fixed to the edge of the slide cylinder at the end away from the servo motor.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a lifting device is connected between the intelligent vehicle and the storage tank, and the lifting device is controlled by the control terminal of the intelligent vehicle.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feed inlet is provided at the center of the top of the storage tank, a rotating shaft is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the storage tank, a left-handed spiral blade and a right-handed spiral blade are fixed on the peripheral wall of the rotating shaft, and the left-handed spiral blade and the right-handed spiral blade are symmetrically arranged. Both the left-handed spiral blade and the right-handed spiral blade are integrated with crushing teeth. A motor box is fixed on the outer wall of the storage tank, and a drive motor is fixed inside the motor box. The output end of the drive motor is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the interior of the storage tank, the feed pipe and the slide is configured with a hydrophobic material.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a cleaning brush is provided on the outer periphery of the intelligent vehicle.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] By using an automatic mixing mechanism, the sluice scoops the dry, clump-like feed from the inner wall of the trough into the sluice. The servo motor drives the auger screw conveyor to rotate, which breaks up the clump-like feed and then mixes it thoroughly with the new feed entering the sluice. The resulting mixture of old and new feed is evenly spread in the trough during the uniform movement process, realizing the integration of old feed cleaning, old and new feed mixing, and feed delivery. This achieves automated feeding while saving feed costs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic feeding device for Euler sheep includes: a fixing mechanism, a moving mechanism, and an automatic mixing mechanism 3. The fixing mechanism includes two feeding troughs 1 arranged in parallel on both sides of a channel, and the inner wall of the feeding troughs 1 is configured as a semi-circle. The moving mechanism includes a smart cart 21, a storage tank 22, and guide pipes 23. The smart cart 21 is movably positioned in the channel, and the storage tank 22 is positioned above the smart cart 21. Two guide pipes 23 are configured, respectively connecting to and fixed on both sides of the storage tank 22. The automatic mixing mechanism 3 is equipped with... There are two components, including a slide cylinder 31, a screw conveyor 32, a connecting frame 33, and a motor cover 34. The slide cylinder 31 is slidably disposed in the feed trough 1 and is connected to the guide pipe 23. The screw conveyor 32 is rotatably disposed in the slide cylinder 31. The connecting frame 33 is fixed on the inner wall of one end of the slide cylinder 31. The motor cover 34 is fixed on the connecting frame 33. A servo motor is fixed inside the motor cover 34. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixed to the input shaft of the screw conveyor 32.

[0019] It should be explained that the auger screw conveyor 32 refers to the addition of an auger device to the end of a conventional screw shaft to achieve the function of crushing before conveying.

[0020] Specifically, during the movement of the intelligent vehicle 21, two guide pipes 23 drive two sliding drums 31 to move in two feeding troughs 1. The guide pipes 23 guide the feed from the storage tank 22 into the feeding troughs 1 through the sliding drums 31, realizing automatic feeding. During this process, the end of the sliding drum 31 scoops the dry and lumpy feed (such as hay clippings and pellet residue) on the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 into the sliding drum 31. The servo motor drives the auger screw conveyor 32 to rotate. The auger at the end of the auger screw conveyor 32 can break up the lumpy feed and then fully mix it with the new feed entering the sliding drum 31. The resulting mixture of old and new feed can be evenly spread in the feeding trough 1 during the uniform movement. From the above, it can be concluded that the process of cleaning old feed, mixing old and new feed, and feeding is integrated, which can realize automated feeding while saving feed costs.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a circumferential cutting blade 35 is fixed to the edge of the slide cylinder 31 at the end away from the servo motor.

[0022] In other words, as the ring cutting blade 35 moves with the slide cylinder 31, it can scrape off the stubborn clumps of feed that are stuck to the inner wall of the slide cylinder 31, thus improving the cleaning of the clumps of feed.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, a lifting device 25 is connected between the intelligent vehicle 21 and the storage tank 22, and the lifting device 25 is controlled by the control terminal of the intelligent vehicle 21.

[0024] Specifically, after the intelligent vehicle 21 moves from one end of the channel to the other, it completes one feeding operation. When feeding for the next time, the control terminal of the intelligent vehicle 21 first controls the lifting device 25 to rise, which in turn drives the storage tank 22 to rise. Under the action of the two guide pipes 23, the two slide cylinders 31 rise synchronously, causing the two slide cylinders 31 to detach from the two feeding troughs 1. At this point, the control terminal of the intelligent vehicle 21 controls the lifting device 25 to stop rising. Then, the control terminal of the intelligent vehicle 21 controls the vehicle body to rotate 180° to complete the position swap of the two slide cylinders 31. After that, the control terminal of the intelligent vehicle 21 controls the lifting device 25 to descend, and the two slide cylinders 31 that have completed the position swap move back into the two feeding troughs 1. Then, the control terminal of the intelligent vehicle 21 controls the vehicle body to move forward to perform the second automatic feeding operation.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a feed inlet 221 is provided at the center of the top of the storage tank 22. A rotating shaft 222 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the storage tank 22. A left-handed spiral blade 223 and a right-handed spiral blade 224 are fixed on the peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 222. The left-handed spiral blade 223 and the right-handed spiral blade 224 are symmetrically arranged. Both the left-handed spiral blade 223 and the right-handed spiral blade 224 are integrated with crushing teeth. A motor box 212 is fixed on the outer wall of the storage tank 22. A drive motor 213 is fixed inside the motor box 212. The output end of the drive motor 213 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 222.

[0026] Please refer to [link / reference needed] for further explanation. Figure 4 The raw material to be crushed is fed into the feed inlet 221. When the drive motor 213 is started, the rotating shaft 222 will drive the left-hand spiral blade 223 and the right-hand spiral blade 224 to rotate. The raw material will be crushed by the crushing teeth of the left-hand spiral blade 223 and the right-hand spiral blade 224. During the crushing process, some feed will move to the left and enter the left feed pipe 23, and the rest of the feed will move to the right and enter the right feed pipe 23, thereby realizing automatic feeding.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the interior of the storage tank 22, the feed pipe 23, and the slide 31 is configured with a hydrophobic material to prevent feed from sticking to the walls and to improve feed conversion rate.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a cleaning brush 214 is provided on the outer periphery of the intelligent vehicle 21.

[0029] In other words, the intelligent vehicle 21 can clean the passageway during its movement, thus improving the quality of the breeding environment.

[0030] Specifically, when feeding the Euler sheep, the intelligent vehicle 21 first moves to one end of the feeding trough 1 and puts the raw materials of the required feed into the storage tank 22. Then the intelligent vehicle 21 starts to move, and at the same time, the drive motor 213 and two servo motors are started. The slide 31 can integrate the old material cleaning, new and old material mixing and feed feeding process as the intelligent vehicle 21 moves, so as to realize automated feeding while saving feed costs.

[0031] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be primarily defined by the scope of the claims.
