Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for placing salt bricks for cattle and sheep. Background Technology

[0002] In cattle and sheep farming, salt bricks are an important source of minerals and are typically hung for the animals to lick. However, this method has significant drawbacks: the salt bricks are prone to falling due to collisions or excessive licking force from the animals. These fallen bricks not only become contaminated with feces, urine, and dirt, affecting food safety, but they also easily break into small pieces. These small pieces may be quickly ingested by the animals, leading to excessive salt intake and potential poisoning or other health problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for placing salt bricks for cattle and sheep, which solves the problems of salt bricks falling off when suspended for cattle to lick, causing salt brick contamination and small pieces being accidentally ingested by cattle.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A device for placing cattle and sheep salt bricks includes a base plate, which is fixedly connected to a material box via a bracket. A top plate and a weighing sensor are located inside the material box. An electric cylinder is mounted on the base plate. A shaft tube is connected to the base plate of the material box, and a support shaft is located inside the shaft tube. The lower end of the support shaft is connected to the piston rod of the electric cylinder, and the upper end of the support shaft is connected to one end of the weighing sensor. The other end of the weighing sensor is connected to the top plate. An electrical cabinet is located on the base plate, containing a battery and a controller. The weighing sensor is connected to the input terminal of the controller, the electric cylinder is connected to the output terminal of the controller, and the battery is connected to the controller.

[0006] Furthermore, a rotary motor is installed between the weighing sensor and the top plate, and the rotary motor is connected to the output of the controller.

[0007] Furthermore, a ring pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the material box, and multiple drainage holes are opened on the bottom surface of the material box. Each drainage hole is located between the outer wall of the ring pipe and the inner wall of the material box.

[0008] Furthermore, a ring pipe is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the projection surface of each drainage hole is located inside the ring pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the feed box, top plate, and ring tube are made of stainless steel.

[0010] Furthermore, the electrical cabinet is equipped with a raise button, a lower button, and a start button, which are connected to the controller input terminal.

[0011] Furthermore, the control is performed using a TPC8-8TD controller.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The salt brick is placed in the material box, which forms a surrounding restriction around the salt brick. Combined with the support of the top plate, it ensures that the salt brick is always within the constraint range of the material box, which completely solves the problem of salt bricks easily falling off in the traditional hanging method, and avoids the risk of pollution caused by falling salt bricks and the risk of small broken pieces being accidentally ingested.

[0014] 2. The weight change of the salt brick is monitored in real time by a weighing sensor. The controller automatically controls the electric cylinder to drive the support shaft to rise according to the amount of weight reduction, so that the salt brick is always exposed at a height of only 1cm in the feed box. Only the top surface is allowed for cattle and sheep to lick, which not only ensures the convenience of licking, but also avoids excessive licking in some areas by restraining the feed box, thereby improving the utilization rate of the salt brick.

[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] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a device for placing cattle and sheep salt bricks includes a base plate 11, which is fixedly connected to a cylindrical material box 6 via a bracket 9. A top plate 5 and a weighing sensor 2 are located inside the material box 6. An electric cylinder 10 is mounted on the base plate 11. A shaft tube 3 connects to the base plate 11, and a support shaft 8 is located inside the shaft tube 3. The lower end of the support shaft 8 is connected to the piston rod of the electric cylinder 10, and the upper end of the support shaft 8 is connected to one end of the weighing sensor 2. The other end of the weighing sensor 2 is connected to the top plate 5. An electrical cabinet 4 is mounted on the base plate 11, containing a battery and a controller. The weighing sensor 2 is connected to the controller's input terminal, and the electric cylinder 10 is connected to the controller's output terminal. The battery is connected to the controller. The controller uses a TPC8-8TD controller. The electric cylinder 10 is a stepper cylinder, and the controller is connected to the stepper cylinder 10 via a first stepper driver. The electrical cabinet 4 has a raise button, a lower button, and a start button, all of which are connected to the controller's input terminal.

[0022] Below is an outer diameter of 20cm and a density of 1.5g / cm³. 3 Taking a 10cm thick salt brick as an example, the working process of this utility model is further described. Initially, by pressing the lower button, the electric cylinder 10 is lowered to the lowest position, and then three salt bricks are placed in the feed box 6. Then, the lifting button is pressed to allow the salt bricks to protrude 1cm from the feed box 6. Pressing the start button, the controller controls the electric cylinder 10 to move automatically. For example, if the weighing sensor 2 weighs the total weight of the three salt bricks as 14.1 kg, then the weight of the 1cm thick salt brick is 470g. When the weighing sensor 2 detects a weight loss of 470g, it means that the salt brick has decreased by 1cm. At this time, the controller sends a specified number of pulses to the first stepper driver, and the electric cylinder 10 drives the salt bricks in the feed box 6 to rise by 1cm, allowing only the 1cm salt bricks to protrude from the feed box 6. The feed box 6 restricts the area around the salt bricks, allowing only the cows to lick the top surface of the salt bricks. The salt bricks cannot leave the feed box 6 and therefore cannot fall to the ground or into the trough.

[0023] Furthermore, a rotary motor 1 is installed between the weighing sensor 2 and the top plate 5, and the rotary motor 1 is connected to the output of the controller. The rotary motor 1 is a stepper rotary geared motor, which is connected to the controller through a stepper driver. Sometimes it is necessary to place the device outside the fence, so that the cows can only lick one side of the salt brick, resulting in uneven licking of the salt brick surface. In order to solve this problem, the rotary motor 1 is set up. During use, every half hour, the controller sends a specified number of pulses to the second stepper driver to make the rotary motor 1 drive the turntable to rotate 90 degrees. In this way, the salt brick can rotate with the time change, avoiding the phenomenon of uneven licking of the salt brick surface.

[0024] Furthermore, a ring pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feed box 6, and multiple drainage holes 12 are opened on the bottom surface of the feed box 6. Each drainage hole 12 is located between the outer wall of the ring pipe and the inner wall of the feed box 6. When the cow finishes drinking and licks its food, saliva will be produced. The saliva will flow into the bottom of the feed box 6 through the gap between the top plate 5 and the feed box 6. The saliva flowing into the bottom of the feed box 6 is blocked by the ring pipe and will not enter the shaft tube 3. It can only be discharged from the drainage holes 12. This can effectively prevent corrosion of the support shaft 8 and extend the service life of the device.

[0025] Furthermore, a ring pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the support 9, and the projected surfaces of each drainage hole 12 are located inside the ring pipe 13. The ring pipe 13 collects the water discharged from the feed box 6, preventing it from mixing with cow dung or hay and polluting the breeding environment.

[0026] Furthermore, the material box 6, top plate 5, and ring pipe 13 are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, which extends the service life of the device.

[0027] The embodiments described in this specification are merely examples of implementations of the inventive concept. The scope of protection of this utility model should not be considered as limited to the specific forms described in the embodiments. The scope of protection of this utility model also extends to equivalent technical means that can be conceived by those skilled in the art based on the inventive concept.
