Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock calf feeding technology, and more specifically, to a livestock calf feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale livestock farming, livestock calves need to be artificially fed. However, livestock calves have poor resistance and require milk temperature to be controlled at 35-38℃. However, traditional artificial feeding methods are time-consuming, the milk is easy to cool down, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which affects the growth and development of livestock calves.

[0003] Existing technologies disclose several patent documents related to livestock calf feeding devices. Chinese Patent Application No. CN202121511051.2 discloses a livestock calf feeding device for animal husbandry, including a fixing frame, a feeding bucket, a heating element, an eccentric rotating stirring device, a filter-type bubble-bursting device, an elastic sealing leak-proof flexible feeding device, and a feed hopper. This utility model belongs to the field of livestock calf feeding technology, specifically a livestock calf feeding device for animal husbandry. It employs an elastic sealing leak-proof flexible feeding method, achieving the technical effect of automatic feeding of multiple calf animals. It also prevents milk leakage when the calf leaves, preventing waste. The heating element heats the milk, preventing it from becoming too cold and affecting the health of the calf. The eccentric rotating stirring device continuously stirs the milk, preventing sedimentation over time. This effectively solves the problems of poor performance, complex structure, and inconvenient maintenance of current livestock calf feeding devices on the market.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the nipple easily becomes dirty and breeds bacteria when the cubs drink milk, which can lead to the cubs getting sick when drinking milk later. To address this, we propose a feeding device for livestock cubs. Utility Model Content

[0020] Beneficial effects

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0022] (1) When it is necessary to clean the debris on the nipple, the water pump is started after the baby finishes drinking milk by monitoring the probe. The water pump introduces the external water source into the water pipe, and then sprays the water onto the surface of the nipple through the nozzle, which makes it easy to clean the nipple surface. Then, the angle of multiple nozzles on the water pipe can be adjusted by turning the handle, which further optimizes the convenience of cleaning the nipple.

[0023] (2) In this scheme, the output end of the servo motor is started to rotate, and the rotation of the output end of the servo motor drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod drives multiple connecting rods to rotate. The rotation of multiple connecting rods prevents milk from settling. The rotation of multiple connecting rods drives two scrapers to rotate. The rotation of the scrapers slides on the inner wall of the milk box to prevent milk from clumping on the inner wall of the milk box.

[0024] (3) In this solution, multiple constant temperature electric heating rods are used to heat the milk in the milk box, preventing the milk temperature from being too low or too high. Attached Figure Description
