Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming equipment technology, specifically a convenient feeder for chickens. Background Technology

[0002] With the modern chicken farming industry continuously developing towards large-scale and intensive operations, the efficiency and scientific nature of the feeding process are of paramount importance.

[0003] The existing patent document CN217523611U discloses an automatic feeder for chicken farms. This utility model uses rotating guide blades and stirring blades to fully mix various feeds for chickens in the mixing drum before pouring them into the guide trough. The feed is then guided into multiple sets of protective cylinders by the guide blades, realizing integrated and automated feeding of feed mixing and dispensing. At the same time, the gap between the protective cylinder and the stop block is larger than the gap between the feeding trough and the stop block, allowing the conical stop block to store the feed between the stop block and the protective cylinder. When the chickens consume the feed in the mesh feeding trough, the feed in the protective cylinder is slowly replenished between the feeding trough and the stop block due to gravity, realizing automated replenishment of feed for the chickens.

[0004] However, existing chicken feeders are prone to residue problems during feed delivery. Existing feeders lack anti-residue designs for storage and conveying components, causing feed to accumulate on the inner walls of the storage structure. Long-term use can also lead to clumping. At the same time, feed tends to stick to the inner walls of the conveying channel, making it difficult to clean thoroughly. This not only reduces feed utilization but also limits conveying efficiency due to residual feed clogging the channel, resulting in unnecessary feed waste. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient feeder for chicken farming, including a support frame 1, a storage hopper 2 on the support frame 1, a No. 1 motor 3 installed in the middle of the upper surface of the storage hopper 2, and a drive shaft 4 fixedly connected to the transmission end of the bottom of the No. 1 motor 3 through the storage hopper 2.

[0027] A first scraper 5 is connected to the outer surface of the drive shaft 4 via a fixing rod. The first scraper 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the storage hopper 2. A conveying pipe 6 is connected to the conical bottom of the storage hopper 2. A second motor 7 is installed at the end of the conveying pipe 6 away from the storage hopper 2. The transmission end of the second motor 7 passes through the conveying pipe 6 and is fixedly connected to a conveying shaft 8. A second scraper 9 is connected to the outer surface of the conveying shaft 8 via a fixing rod. The second scraper 9 is in contact with the inner wall of the conveying pipe 6.

[0028] After pushing the feeder next to the chicken cage and securing it, start motor 3. Its output shaft drives drive shaft 4 to rotate via a coupling. The stirring rods 13, evenly distributed axially along the outer side of drive shaft 4, rotate accordingly, performing three-dimensional stirring of the feed in storage hopper 2. This helps maintain the fluidity of feed that is prone to clumping in humid environments. Simultaneously, drive shaft 4 drives scraper 5 to rotate synchronously via a circumferentially fixed rod. Scraper 5 is made of food-grade rubber and fits against the inner wall of storage hopper 2. During rotation, it scrapes away feed residue adhering to the inner wall, working in conjunction with the storage hopper. The conical structure at the bottom of the feed pipe 6 causes the feed to converge at the inlet of the feed pipe 6 under the action of gravity and the thrust of the scraper. Then, the second motor 7 is started, and its output shaft drives the conveyor shaft 8 to rotate inside the feed pipe 6. The continuous spiral conveyor blades 14 spirally wound on the outer surface of the conveyor shaft 8 form a propulsion channel, which conveys the feed along the direction of the feed pipe 6. At the same time, the second scraper 9 connected to the conveyor shaft 8 through the fixed rod rotates with the shaft. The edge of the second scraper 9 contacts the inner wall of the feed pipe 6, which can clean the feed that is stuck to the pipe wall due to static electricity or humidity, and reduce the pipe blockage caused by long-term accumulation.

[0029] A feeding port 10 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the storage hopper 2. A dust cover 11 is detachably connected to the top of the feeding port 10. The four corners of the bottom of the support frame 1 are respectively equipped with moving wheels 12 with brake devices. Multiple sets of stirring rods 13 are evenly distributed along the axial direction on the outer side wall of the drive shaft 4. A continuous spiral conveying plate 14 is spirally wound on the outer side wall of the conveying shaft 8. An L-shaped support frame 15 is vertically connected to the middle of one side of the upper surface of the support frame 1. A linear guide rail 16 is provided on the parallel section of the L-shaped support frame 15. An electric slider 17 is provided inside the linear guide rail 16. An electric push rod 18 is vertically installed at the bottom end of the electric slider 17. A push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the bottom end of the electric push rod 18. A connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the push rod 19. A distribution pipe 21 is connected to the outer surface of the conveying pipe 6 near the second motor 7. Multiple feeding pipes 22 are connected in parallel at the end of the distribution pipe 21. The discharge end of each feeding pipe 22 is connected to the connecting plate 20.

[0030] When using this feeder, the operator can first push the feeder to the feed storage area using the movable wheels 12 with brakes at the bottom of the support frame 1, step on the brakes to fix the body and reduce machine shaking during feeding, then open the dust cover 11 on the feeding port 10 to feed the feed. After feeding, close the dust cover 11 tightly to prevent dust, feathers and external debris from entering the feed hopper 2 and keep the feed clean. After the feed enters the distribution pipe 21 through the end of the conveying pipe 6, it is distributed to multiple feeding pipes 22 through the diversion structure. At this time, the electric slider 17 in the linear guide rail 16 can be operated through the control panel (not shown in the figure) to drive the feeding pipe 22 to cover different rows of chicken cages in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 18 can be controlled to adjust the vertical height of the feeding pipe 22 so that the discharge port is aligned with the feed troughs of chicken cages of different heights. Finally, the feed falls into the feed trough through the feeding pipe 22, completing the feeding operation.

[0031] Working Principle: When using this feeder, the operator can first push it to the feed storage area using the casters 12 with brakes at the bottom of the support frame 1. The brakes are then engaged to secure the machine and reduce shaking during feeding. Next, the dust cover 11 on the feeding port 10 is opened to add feed. After feeding, the dust cover 11 is tightened to prevent dust, feathers, and external debris from entering the feed hopper 2, maintaining feed cleanliness. After pushing the feeder next to the chicken cage and securing it, the first motor 3 is started. Its output shaft drives the drive shaft 4 to rotate via a coupling. The stirring rods 13, evenly distributed axially along the outer side of the drive shaft 4, rotate accordingly, performing three-dimensional stirring of the feed in the feed hopper 2. This helps maintain feed flowability, especially for feed that is prone to clumping in humid environments. Simultaneously, the drive shaft 4 drives the first scraper 5 to rotate synchronously via a circumferentially fixed rod. The first scraper 5, made of food-grade rubber, fits snugly against the inner wall of the feed hopper 2, scraping away feed residue adhering to the inner wall during rotation. Combined with the conical structure at the bottom of the feed hopper 2, this ensures... Under the influence of gravity and the thrust of the scraper, the feed converges at the inlet of the conveying pipe 6. Then, the second motor 7 is activated, and its output shaft drives the conveying shaft 8 to rotate inside the conveying pipe 6. The continuously spirally wound conveying blades 14 on the outer surface of the conveying shaft 8 form a propulsion channel, conveying the feed along the direction of the conveying pipe 6. Simultaneously, the second scraper 9, connected to the conveying shaft 8 via a fixed rod, rotates with the shaft. The edge of the second scraper 9 contacts the inner wall of the conveying pipe 6, cleaning feed adhering to the pipe wall due to static electricity or moisture, reducing long-term accumulation. The resulting pipe blockage causes the feed to enter the distribution pipe 21 through the end of the feed pipe 6. It is then distributed to multiple feed pipes 22 through the diversion structure. At this time, the electric slider 17 in the linear guide rail 16 can be operated through the control panel (not shown in the figure) to drive the feed pipe 22 to cover different rows of chicken cages in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 18 can be controlled to adjust the vertical height of the feed pipe 22 so that the discharge port is aligned with the feed troughs of chicken cages of different heights. Finally, the feed falls into the feed trough through the feed pipe 22 to complete the feeding operation.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
