Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ranch feeding equipment technology, and in particular to an unattended central kitchen feeding system for ranches. Background Technology
[0002] With the large-scale development of global livestock farming, ranching is gradually transforming towards intensification and intelligentization. Cattle, as an important economic livestock species, are directly linked to the economic benefits of ranches through their healthy growth and scientific feeding. However, traditional manual feeding methods and existing automated equipment still have significant shortcomings, hindering improvements in production efficiency and animal welfare.
[0003] Traditional ranches rely on manual feeding, requiring a large workforce for feed handling, mixing, and scheduled delivery. This model suffers from low efficiency, high labor costs, and significant operational errors. Manual feed mixing is prone to nutritional imbalances due to lack of experience, impacting herd growth rates and milk production. Feed is susceptible to environmental factors (such as humidity and pollution), leading to spoilage and increasing waste and disease transmission risks. Under traditional feeding methods, feed spillage, spoilage, and overfeeding result in waste rates as high as 15%-20%. While existing automated systems partially reduce waste, they do not achieve end-to-end optimization of feed storage, distribution, and recycling. For example, open feed trough designs easily lead to feed oxidation or contamination, and the lack of a waste recovery mechanism further exacerbates resource depletion. With increasingly stringent environmental policies, reducing carbon emissions and feed costs has become a major industry challenge, and current technologies have not yet provided a systematic solution.

[0059] Four roughage feeders 2 are spaced apart on the ground on one side of the first conveyor 1 to feed various roughages onto the first conveyor 1.
[0060] The second conveyor 3 is inclinedly installed at the end of the first conveyor 1 to tilt and lift the material for conveying.
[0061] Concentrated feed conveyor 4;
[0062] Track 5 is horizontally positioned longitudinally at the end of the second conveyor 3;
[0063] Feeding robot 6 is slidably mounted on track 5;
[0064] Feeding trough 7 is arranged parallel to one side of track 5, and a bracket is provided at the bottom of feeding trough 7 to suspend and support the feeding trough in the air.
[0065] Two concentrate feed mixers 8 are set on the ground on one side of the second conveyor 3;
[0066] Concentrated feed unloading conveyor 9;
[0067] The discharge ports of the two feed mixers 8 are connected to the feed inlets of the two feed unloading conveyors 9, the discharge ends of the two feed unloading conveyors 9 are connected to the feed inlet of the feed feeding conveyor 4, and the discharge end of the feed feeding conveyor 4 is connected to the feeding robot 6.
[0068] This invention uses a roughage feeder 2 to pre-treat roughage and a concentrate feed mixer 8 to pre-treat and mix concentrate feed. The roughage and concentrate feed are then conveyed sequentially to a feeding robot 6 via a first conveyor 1 and a second conveyor 3, resulting in high conveying efficiency. The feeding robot 6 mixes the roughage and concentrate feed and distributes it evenly into the feeding trough 7 for feeding livestock. The distribution is uniform, efficient, and effective. After feeding, the remaining feed in the feeding trough can be recycled via a waste feed discharge conveyor, reducing feed waste and increasing feed utilization. By integrating the roughage and concentrate feed mixing process with the feeding process, the farm feeding process can be automated and unmanned.

The first discharge port at the lower end of the conical bin wall 821 is connected to the feed lifting pipe 84. The lower end of the feed lifting pipe 84 is equipped with a first sealing plate 841. A first feed port is provided on the lower side wall of the feed lifting pipe 84. The outer end of the first feed port is connected to a horizontal feed pipe 842. One end of the feed pipe 842 is sealed to the first feed port, and the other end is suspended and sealed by a second sealing plate 843. A feed hopper 844 is provided at the top of the feed pipe 842. The second discharge port of the feed hopper 844 is connected to the second feed port at the top of the feed pipe 842. The spiral lifting pipe 83 is coaxially arranged inside the mixing bin 82. The upper end of the spiral lifting pipe 83 is connected to the cover 822 of the mixing silo 82. A spiral lifting shaft 85 is coaxially arranged inside the mixing silo 82. The spiral lifting shaft 85 is sleeved inside the spiral lifting pipe 83 and the feed lifting pipe 84. The spiral lifting pipe 83 is located above the feed lifting pipe 84. The upper end of the spiral lifting shaft 85 is rotatably connected to the second bearing seat provided on the cover 822 of the mixing silo 82. The lower end of the spiral lifting shaft 85 passes through the first sealing plate 841 at the lower end of the feed lifting pipe 84 and is rotatably connected to the third bearing seat provided at the bottom of the first sealing plate 841. The lower end of the spiral lifting shaft 85 is coaxially provided with a second pulley 851 and a third pulley 852. A third discharge port is provided on the lower side wall of the conical silo wall 821. The outer end of the third discharge port is connected to the discharge pipe 854.

[0080] In this embodiment, see Figure 10A first bearing seat is provided at the bottom of the feed pipe 842. A vertical impeller shaft 845 is rotatably mounted inside the first bearing seat. The upper end of the impeller shaft 845 extends upward through the bottom sidewall of the feed pipe 842 into the feed pipe 842. Multiple blades 846 are arranged circumferentially at the upper end of the impeller shaft 845, each blade 846 being a curved arc plate. A first pulley 847 is coaxially fixed at the lower end of the impeller shaft 845. A third motor 87 is fixedly mounted on the third bracket 81. A fourth pulley 853 is coaxially fixed on the output shaft of the third motor 87. The first pulley 847 and the second pulley 851 are connected and driven by a first transmission belt. The third pulley 852 and the fourth pulley 853 are connected and driven by a second transmission belt. The third motor 87 drives the fourth pulley 853 to rotate. The rotation of the fourth pulley 853 drives the third pulley 852 to rotate through the second transmission belt. The third pulley 852 and the second pulley 851 are coaxially fixed and rotate together. They can drive the first pulley 842 through the first transmission belt. The pulley 847 rotates, driving the impeller shaft 845 to rotate. During rotation, the impeller shaft 845 drives the blades 846 at its upper end to rotate circumferentially, centrifuging the material falling around the blades 846 and transferring it along the feed pipe 842 into the feed lift pipe 84. A first observation port 8221 and a second observation port 8222 are provided on the bin cover 822. The upper end of the spiral lift pipe 83 is located below the bin cover 822, and the upper sidewall of the spiral lift pipe 83... Multiple radially distributed angle steels 831 are arranged in the circumferential direction. One end of each angle steel 831 is welded and fixedly connected to the spiral lifting pipe 83, and the other end is suspended. The suspended end of each angle steel 831 is connected to the top of the silo cover 822 through the first screw 832. The spiral lifting pipe 83 is connected to the inner wall of the mixing silo 82 through the second screw 833. The first screw 832 and the second screw 833 facilitate the stable fixing of the spiral lifting pipe 83 in the middle position inside the mixing silo 82, so that the material is stably lifted and mixed.
[0081] In this embodiment, a camera and a searchlight are fixedly installed on the top of the cover 822 of the mixing bin 82 to monitor the mixing situation inside the mixing bin 82. Multiple cameras are installed without blind spots above the first conveyor 1, the four coarse feed feeders 2, the third conveyor 3, the feeding robot 6, and the starting position of the feeding trough 7 to monitor the working area in real time.
[0082] In this embodiment, the conductive cable is installed on the suspended frame above the feeding channel of the cattle shed, and the node control contact and node control switch are installed on the support set on the side wall of the first feed hopper. During the movement, the feeding robot 6 is powered by the conductive carbon brush through the node control contact and the conductive cable on the suspended frame.
[0083] In this embodiment, the start and stop position control of the feeding robot is controlled separately according to two task modes: feeding and waste material recycling. A rotary encoder is installed on the shaft end of the reduction motor of the feeding robot's walking wheel to measure the travel distance in real time (pulse counting). When the operator presses the "feeding start" button at a node, the controller loads a preset path (e.g., feeding trough start point → end point), and the feeding robot moves at a speed of 1.0 m / s. The encoder calculates the distance in real time. When approaching the target node, it automatically reduces its speed to 0.3 m / s. The sensor is triggered to contact the node contact point → an interrupt signal is generated → the controller completes the process within 50 ms. When the operator manually presses the "recycling start" button at the end node of the feeding trough → the controller switches to recycling mode, the hydraulic cylinder pushes out the scraper conveyor 64 to contact the bottom of the feeding trough, and it moves towards the start point at a speed of 0.1 m / s. It is positioned by the encoder pulse counting. After touching the start node, the scraper hydraulic cylinder drives the scraper conveyor 64 to reset.
[0084] The node control contacts are physically installed on the side wall supports of the hopper, located at the precise stopping points of the feeding robot, such as below the hopper or at the start / end of the feeding trough. Each key location corresponds to a unique contact. The node control switch and node control contacts are installed in the same area and managed by the control system, used to manually or automatically issue "start" or "go to next node" commands. Sensors on the feeding robot 6 are installed on the side of the feeding robot, specifically for physical contact or close-range sensing with the node control contacts. The PLC controller receives signals from the contacts, switches, encoders, and other sensors, processes the logic, and sends control commands to the brake control module system of the walking wheel geared motor. The distance traveled between nodes is mainly estimated by the geared motor encoder (which records motor revolutions / wheel revolutions). This is combined with the preset node control contacts to provide absolute position signals. The walking wheels are responsible for movement, and the geared motors of the walking wheels rely on the dynamic braking of the servo motors to stop precisely and quickly. The operator in the control room selects the target location (such as "hopper 2" or "feeding trough end") on the control panel, or the system automatically issues tasks according to the preset feeding plan. After receiving the target instruction, the controller plans the optimal path (node sequence) and activates the feeding robot. When a node control switch (such as a "start" button) is pressed (manual or automatic signal), the controller sends a "forward" command to the drive motor and releases the brakes, causing the robot to begin moving along the track. The feeding robot draws power from conductive cables on the suspended frame using conductive carbon brushes, driving the geared motor. The motor encoder continuously operates, converting the number of motor rotations / wheel revolutions into a distance traveled signal, which is fed back to the controller. Based on a preset route map (including distances between nodes) and encoder feedback, the controller estimates the robot's approximate position in real time, determining when it will approach the next target node. When the controller determines, based on the distance estimated by the encoder, that the feeding robot is about to reach the target node (e.g., 1-2 meters away), it sends a deceleration command to the geared motor, significantly reducing the feeding robot's speed and putting it into a "crawling" state. This prepares the robot for precise positioning and rapid stopping, reducing impact and positioning errors.
[0085] In this embodiment, a protective shell is installed around the chassis 61, and a PLC controller is fixedly installed on the chassis 61. All electrical devices of the feeding robot are connected to the PLC controller through cables and start and stop in sequence. The control room remotely controls the PLC controller of the feeding robot to control the start and stop of each electrical device through wireless signals. The control room displays the equipment status, feeding progress and livestock feed intake in real time through a 3D visualization interface, and remotely controls the operation according to the actual situation on site.
[0086] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model feeds the animal through the following steps:
[0087] 1. Roughage preparation: Roughage is prepared sequentially by four roughage feeders 2. Specifically, a loader adds alfalfa, corn stalks, rice straw, and hay to the chain conveyor 22 of each roughage feeder 2. The controller controls the chain conveyor 22 to transport the roughage longitudinally to the front of the two first spiral blades 24. The two first spiral blades 24 gather the larger roughage towards the middle, compress the volume, and then discharge it onto the first conveyor 1.
[0088] 2. Preparation of Concentrated Feed: Concentrated feed and other ingredients are added sequentially to the feed hopper 844. The third motor 87 is started by the controller, which drives the first pulley 847, the second pulley 851, and the third pulley 852 to rotate, which in turn drives the impeller shaft 845 to rotate. The rotation of the impeller shaft 845 centrifugally disperses the concentrated feed ingredients in the feed pipe 842 into the feed lifting pipe 84 of the mixing bin 82. At the same time, the rotation of the third pulley 852 drives the spiral lifting shaft 85 and the third spiral blade 86 to rotate, lifting and conveying the feed in the feed lifting pipe 84 at the bottom of the mixing bin 82 upwards. When a large amount of material accumulates at the bottom of the mixing bin 82, the material continues to be lifted and conveyed upwards along the spiral lifting pipe 83 to the top of the mixing bin 82 through the third spiral blade 86 on the spiral lifting shaft 85. Then it is discharged from the top of the spiral lifting pipe 83 and dispersed around the mixing bin 82, thus lifting and mixing the material inside the mixing bin 82.
[0089] 3. Roughage and concentrate conveying and mixing: The controller controls the first conveyor 1 to convey the roughage provided by the four roughage feeders 2 to the second conveyor 3. Then, the second conveyor 3 lifts and conveys the roughage to the first hopper 62 of the feeding robot 6. The mixing mechanism 621 inside the first hopper 62 pushes and spreads the roughage from bottom to top in a reciprocating cycle. During this period, multiple moving blades arranged at a 30° angle on the edge of the spiral blades interact with two fixed blades on the inner wall of the shell to cut and crush the roughage. When the roughage is crushed, the controller controls the two concentrate unloading conveyors 9 to convey the feed from the two concentrate mixing machines 8 to the concentrate feeding conveyor 4. The concentrate feeding conveyor 4 conveys the concentrate to the second conveyor 3. The second conveyor 3 adds the concentrate to the first hopper 62, and then mixes and stirs it in the first hopper 62 until it is uniform. Then, it can be fed. The entire operation is completed.
[0090] 4. Feeding roughage and concentrate: The controller controls the walking wheels 66 of the feeding robot 6 to move at a constant speed along the track 5 from the starting end to the end of the feeding trough 7. During the movement, the controller controls the first hydraulic cylinder 624 to drive its telescopic end to open the discharge gate 623, so that the discharge port 622 opens. The controller controls the agitator 6212 in the first hopper 62 to spirally agitate the feed to the discharge port 622. The feed is discharged onto the belt conveyor 65 through the discharge port 622. The belt conveyor 65 transports the feed laterally into the feeding trough 7. When the belt conveyor 65 on the feeding robot 6 moves to the end of the feeding trough 7, it stops moving. Then, the controller controls the feeding robot 6 to stop feeding. Then, the controller controls the walking wheels 66 of the feeding robot 6 to move at a constant speed along the track 5 from the end of the feeding trough 7 to the starting end. When the feeding robot 6 returns to the starting point, it stops moving.
[0091] 5. Feed Trough Leftover Material Recovery: After the livestock finish eating, the camera above the feed trough observes that they have finished. The controller controls the second hydraulic cylinder 6415 to drive the feed pipe 641 to rotate along the corresponding U-shaped seat 6413 on the positioning steel frame 6412, extending the lower end of the feed pipe 641 into the feed trough 7. Simultaneously, the rolling elements 6482 on the two wheel seats 6481 at the lower end of the feed pipe 641 are supported on the upper surface of the side plates of the feed trough 7, so that the two rolling elements 6482 roll in cooperation with the two side plates. The controller controls the start of the scraper conveyor 64, which drives the scraper 645 on the transmission chain 642 to scrape the leftover material from the feed inlet of the lower end of the feed pipe 641 into the feed pipe 641. The material is then inclined along the feed pipe 641 and conveyed to the leftover material discharge conveyor 647, which then transports the leftover material to the first silo. Within 62, simultaneously, the controller controls the walking wheels 66 of the feeding robot 6 to move at a constant speed along the track 5 from the starting end to the end of the feeding trough 7, causing the scraper conveyor 64 to collect the leftover material along the length of the feeding trough 7. After the scraper conveyor 64 moves to the end of the feeding trough 7, the leftover material collection is completed. The controller then controls the second hydraulic cylinder 6415 to drive the conveying pipe 641 to rotate along the corresponding U-shaped seat 6413 on the positioning steel frame 6412, turning the lower end of the conveying pipe 641 out of the feeding trough 7. Then, the controller controls the walking wheels 66 of the feeding robot 6 to move at a constant speed along the track 5 from the end of the feeding trough 7 to the starting end. After the feeding robot 6 returns to the starting point, it stops moving. Thus, the feed preparation, conveying, mixing, feeding, and leftover material collection for the livestock in the pasture are completed. The leftover material is collected by the scraper conveyor into the first silo 62 for mixing with new material for reuse.
