The solenoid valve 8 is activated, causing the feed to fall from the hopper 5 into the space between the two feed plates 212 on the conveyor belt 210. The conveyor belt 210 can then deliver the feed. When the delivery direction needs to be adjusted, the hydraulic cylinder 207 is activated to separate the toothed block 208 from the toothed disc 203. At this time, the first motor 202 is activated to drive the toothed disc 203 to rotate, allowing the angle of the delivery frame 205 to be adjusted. After adjustment, the hydraulic cylinder 207 is activated to engage the toothed block 208 with the toothed disc 203, thus fixing the position of the delivery frame 205. This reduces the workload of the staff in delivering feed and improves the efficiency of feed delivery.

[0029] Working principle: By adding feed into the hopper 5, the second motor 206 is started to drive the first transmission roller 209 to rotate, causing the conveyor belt 210 to transport the feed. The solenoid valve 8 is activated to allow the feed to fall from the hopper 5 into the space between the two feed plates 212 on the conveyor belt 210. The conveyor belt 210 can then deliver the feed. When the delivery direction needs to be adjusted, the hydraulic cylinder 207 is activated to separate the toothed block 208 from the toothed disc 203. At this time, the first motor 202 is started to drive the toothed disc 203 to rotate, allowing the angle of the delivery frame 205 to be adjusted. After adjustment, the hydraulic cylinder 207 is activated to engage the toothed block 208 with the toothed disc 203, thus fixing the position of the delivery frame 205. This reduces the workload of the staff in delivering feed and improves the efficiency of feed delivery.
