Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] See Figures 1-4 A dry-wet feed porridge feeder includes a frame 100, a feeding mechanism 200, a water dispensing mechanism 300, a stirring mechanism 400, and a receiving basin 500. The feeding mechanism 200 is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to feed feed into the stirring mechanism 400. The water dispensing mechanism 300 is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to dissipate liquid into the stirring mechanism 400. The stirring mechanism 400 includes a rotating assembly, a feeding grid 430, a stirring rod 440, and a receiving plate 450. The rotating assembly and the receiving plate 450 are mounted on the frame 100. The feeding grid 430 and the stirring rod 440 are both mounted on the rotating assembly. The rotating assembly drives the stirring rod 440 to stir the feed and liquid on the receiving plate 450. The receiving basin 500 is mounted on the frame 100 and located below the receiving plate 450 to catch feed falling from the receiving plate 450.

[0031] In use, dry feed falls from the feeding mechanism 200 into the feeding grid 430. The rotating component drives the dry feed in the feeding grid 430 to fall orderly into the receiving plate 450. Liquid falls from the water dispensing mechanism 300 into the receiving plate 450. At this time, the liquid wets the dry feed, and at the same time, the rotating component drives the stirring rod 440 to rotate to stir the wet and dry feed. The dry and wet feed are stirred evenly and slide out from the side of the receiving plate 450 and fall into the receiving basin 500. The livestock eat feed from the receiving basin 500.

[0032] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a material bucket 210, which has a funnel-shaped structure, making feeding easier.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 200 further includes a lid 220, which is flip-mounted to the top opening of the feed hopper 210 to cover the feed hopper 210, preventing debris from falling into the feed hopper 210 and facilitating observation, feeding, and maintenance. The lid 220 can be flip-mounted to the feed hopper 210 in various ways, as long as a flip-mounted connection is achieved, such as via a hinge.

[0034] In this embodiment, the drainage mechanism 300 includes a solenoid valve 310 and a water outlet pipe 320. The solenoid valve 310 is connected to the water outlet pipe 320, and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 320 is located above the receiving plate 450. The solenoid valve 310 is used to control the opening and closing of the water inlet pipe.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a rotating drive 410 and a rotating shaft 420. The rotating drive 410 is connected to the frame 100, and the rotating shaft 420 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating drive 410 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 420 passes through and connects to the feed grid 430, and the stirring rod 440 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 420. The rotating drive 410 drives the rotating shaft 420 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 440 to rotate, thereby stirring the feed and mixing the dry and wet feed evenly.

[0036] It should be noted that the rotary drive component 410 is a motor.

[0037] In this embodiment, the feeding grid 430 is provided with an upper plate 431, a lower plate 432, a first scraper 433 disposed on the upper plate 431, and a second scraper 434 disposed on the lower plate 432. The upper plate 431 and the lower plate 432 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 420. The first scraper 433 and the second scraper 434 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 420 and rotate with the rotating shaft 420. The upper plate 431 is provided with a first drain hole 435, and the lower plate 432 is provided with a second drain hole 436. When the rotating shaft 420 rotates, it drives the first scraper 433 and the second scraper 434 to rotate. When the first scraper 433 rotates, it scrapes the dry material on the upper plate 431. The dry material on the upper plate 431 falls from the first drain hole 435 onto the lower plate 432. At the same time, the second scraper 434 is also driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 420. The second scraper 434 scrapes the dry material on the lower plate 432. The dry material on the lower plate 432 falls from the second drain hole 436 onto the receiving plate 450.

[0038] To further explain, the cross-section of the rotating shaft 420 is polygonal. The first scraper 433 and the second scraper 434 are directly fitted onto the rotating shaft 420. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 420 rotates, it can drive the first scraper 433 and the second scraper 434 to rotate. The upper plate 431 and the lower plate 432 are both fitted onto the rotating shaft 420 through bearings. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 420 rotates, the upper plate 431 and the lower plate 432 will not rotate with the rotating shaft 420.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first scraper 433 is provided with two first scraper blades 437, and the two first scraper blades 437 are positioned opposite each other.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second scraper 434 is provided with a plurality of second scraper blades 438 at uniform intervals.

[0041] In this embodiment, the feeding basin 500 is provided with multiple partitions 510 evenly spaced apart, which facilitates the separation of animals and allows multiple animals to eat together in an orderly manner around the feeding basin 500.

[0042] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes a controller 600, a capacitive probe 700, and an encoder. The capacitive probe 700 is disposed on the frame 100 and located above the receiving basin 500. The encoder is disposed at the tail end of the output shaft of the rotary drive 410 and is used to detect the rotation angle of the output shaft of the rotary drive 410. The controller 600 is electrically connected to the capacitive probe 700, the solenoid valve 310, the rotary drive 410, and the encoder.

[0043] The capacitive sensor will sense the medium of the feed in the 500-meter feed trough in real time and convert it into a corresponding value. Since different media have different dielectric constants, different detection values ​​will be obtained. For example, the value will be lower for air (no feed), higher for dry feed, higher for mixed water and feed, and even higher for water. The state of the feed trough can be detected by the detection level.

[0044] The controller 600 integrates a microcontroller-based embedded control system, which has automatic program operation and Internet of Things (IoT) functions, while the solenoid valve 310 is a direct-acting solenoid valve with an integrated flow meter, which can accurately control the feed rate.

[0045] During operation, the animal's age can be input into the controller 600. The control system of the controller 600 can automatically generate the corresponding preset program based on the animal's age, growth coefficient, current time, ambient temperature and humidity, etc., and automatically switch between dry and wet feed modes. Thus, it can intelligently control the operation of the motor and solenoid valve 310 according to the required mode or required dry and wet ratio. Specifically, it controls the number of rotations and angle of the motor and the water flow rate of the solenoid valve 310.

[0046] The frame 100, feeding mechanism 200, water discharge mechanism 300, stirring mechanism 400 and receiving basin 500 of this dry and wet feed maker are connected by standardized interfaces and bolts, which facilitates installation, disassembly and maintenance.

[0047] Additionally, there are two capacitive probes 700, which are respectively set on the left and right sides of the receiving basin 500. Simultaneous detection can improve the stability of the detection.

[0048] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed herein.
