Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feed feeding devices, specifically an adjustable height mixed feed mixing and feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is a production sector that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. It is different from subsistence livestock farming. The main characteristics of animal husbandry are centralization, large scale, and profit-oriented production. In order to increase the slaughter rate, various nutrients are added to the feed when raising cattle and sheep. At this time, mixing and stirring devices are needed to mix the feed.

[0003] For example, patent CN208354303U discloses a cattle and sheep feeding device, including a stirring blade, casters, a feeding plate, shock-absorbing springs, a conveyor belt, and a drain outlet. The stirring blade is located at one end of the rotating gear, the feeding plate is located on one side of the housing, the conveyor belt is located on the outer side of the conveyor shaft, the shock-absorbing springs are installed inside the motor bracket, and the drain outlet is located at one end of the feeding plate. This utility model has a scientifically sound and reasonable structure, is safe and convenient to use. The stirring blade can evenly mix the feed, making it more beneficial for cattle and sheep feeding and promoting digestion. The conveyor belt can transport the feed, ensuring it is evenly placed on the conveyor belt so that each animal can eat from any angle. The drain outlet facilitates cleaning of the feeding plate, ensuring the health and safety of the cattle and sheep's diet. The casters make the feeding device easy to move.

[0004] However, the aforementioned cattle and sheep feeding devices, after chopping and discharging the material, cannot adjust the height of the feeding trough according to the growth of the cattle and sheep. From the perspective of the convenience of feeding, cattle and sheep at different growth stages have significant differences in size. Young cattle and sheep are small, and if the feeding trough is too high, they need to strain their heads or climb to eat the feed. This not only makes it difficult for them to eat, but may also affect their growth and development due to being in an uncomfortable posture for a long time. Adult cattle and sheep are tall, and if the feeding trough is too low, they need to bend over and bend their bodies to eat, which can easily lead to fatigue in the neck and shoulder muscles. Over time, this may cause joint damage and other health problems, thereby affecting their feeding enthusiasm and feed intake. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable height mixed feed stirring and feeding device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the height of the feeding trough cannot be automatically adjusted according to the growth of cattle and sheep.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable-height mixed feed mixing and feeding device includes: a storage hopper frame, a discharge port connected to the lower surface of the storage hopper frame, a feeding mechanism rotatably mounted at one end of the discharge port, the lower surface of the feeding mechanism being slidably mounted on the upper surface of a guide rail plate, and the guide rail plate being fixedly mounted at one end of the storage hopper frame.

[0008] Preferably, an n-shaped cylinder is fixedly installed inside the storage hopper frame, and a cylindrical cutter is rotatably installed inside the n-shaped cylinder. The rotating shaft at one end of the cylindrical cutter rotates out from inside the storage hopper frame and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the geared motor. The geared motor is fixedly installed at one end of the storage hopper frame.

[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the n-shaped cylinder has multiple sets of circular holes at equal intervals, and the blade of the cylindrical cutter slides against the inner ring wall inside the n-shaped cylinder, so that the straw entering the n-shaped cylinder through the circular holes can be chopped and mixed by the rotating cylindrical cutter and discharged into the discharge port.

[0010] Preferably, a vibration motor is fixedly installed at both ends of the storage hopper frame.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a first conveyor, which is rotatably mounted at one end of the discharge port, and the lower surface of the first conveyor is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod. The other end of the electric push rod is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the guide rail plate, so that the electric push rod can push the first conveyor to flip up or down at one end of the discharge port by lifting the piston rod.

[0012] Preferably, a second conveyor is rotatably mounted on one end of the first conveyor, and baffles are fixedly mounted on the upper surfaces of both the first and second conveyors, so that a feed trough is formed between the two sets of baffles and the conveyor belt of the conveyor.

[0013] Preferably, two sets of connecting arms are fixedly installed at both ends of the second conveyor, and a connecting cylinder is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of each set of connecting arms. The connecting cylinder is guided by rollers rotatably installed on its lower surface and rolls in the track on the upper surface of the guide rail plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. Through the design of the storage hopper, N-shaped cylinder, geared motor, cylindrical cutter, vibrating motor, discharge port, and feeding mechanism, when feeding cattle and sheep, workers can activate the feeding mechanism to adjust the feeding trough to the required height according to the growth stage of the cattle and sheep. This ensures that each animal can eat at a comfortable height, avoiding feeding difficulties caused by unsuitable height and greatly improving the feeding enthusiasm of the cattle and sheep. Then, by putting hay into the storage hopper and activating the geared motor and vibrating motor, the hay is gradually brought into contact with the surface of the inner N-shaped cylinder through the vibration of the vibrating motor. Multiple sets of circular holes evenly spaced on the outer surface of the N-shaped cylinder provide a channel for the hay to enter the cylinder. At this time, the activated geared motor drives the cylindrical cutter to rotate at high speed inside the N-shaped cylinder via the output shaft. Because the blades of the cylindrical cutter are tightly attached to the inner ring wall of the N-shaped cylinder, when the hay enters the N-shaped cylinder through the circular holes... When the feed is fed into the cylinder, it is immediately and precisely chopped by the rotating blades. During the chopping process, the high-speed rotating blades simultaneously stir the feed, ensuring that different types or parts of the feed are thoroughly mixed. At the same time, the vibrating motors at both ends of the storage hopper continuously operate, and the vibrations they generate cause the feed in the storage hopper to move continuously towards the round hole of the N-shaped cylinder, preventing the feed from accumulating and clogging. This ensures that the feed continuously enters the N-shaped cylinder for chopping and mixing. The evenly mixed feed eventually falls into the discharge port, which guides the feed into the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism can then fully spread the feed in the feeding trough by conveying it, and then shut down the equipment. Once the feed is consumed, the operation of chopping and conveying the feed can be restarted. The entire process is highly automated, reducing the tediousness of manual intervention, lowering the labor intensity of the staff, and improving the efficiency of feeding work. It is especially suitable for the daily operation needs of small and medium-sized farms.

[0016] 2. Through the design of the electric push rod, first conveyor, second conveyor, connecting arm, connecting cylinder, and baffle, when adjusting the height of the feeding trough before feeding cattle and sheep, the electric push rod can be activated to push the first conveyor upward or downward around the connection point of the discharge port by extending or retracting the piston rod, thereby changing the tilt angle of the first conveyor and achieving precise adjustment of the conveying height. During this process, the second conveyor, which is rotatably connected to the first conveyor, can be pulled up or down together. Since two sets of connecting arms are fixedly installed at both ends of the second conveyor, and the outer surface of each set of connecting arms is fitted with a connecting cylinder, when the second conveyor is pulled up or down, the connecting arm will slide up or down in the connecting cylinder. At the same time, the rollers rotatably installed on the lower surface of the connecting cylinder will roll left or right in the track on the upper surface of the guide rail plate to adapt to the movement of the conveyor. The second conveyor's position can be adjusted to flexibly adapt to the feeding height of cattle and sheep at different growth stages. Whether it's the lower height required by young cattle and sheep or the higher height suitable for adult cattle and sheep, it can accurately meet their needs, allowing them to feed in a comfortable posture, reducing feeding difficulties or physical injuries caused by unsuitable height, and improving their feeding experience and enthusiasm. After the height adjustment is completed, the first and second conveyors can be started. The feed will be gradually transported from the first conveyor to the second conveyor. During this process, the first and second conveyors will use baffles on both sides to surround the feed and form feed troughs for the cattle and sheep to eat. The conveyor belt of the second conveyor continues to operate until the feed trough is full, ensuring that all cattle and sheep can eat the feed evenly, avoiding competition caused by uneven feed distribution, and maintaining the order of the herd's feeding.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:

[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, an adjustable-height mixed feed mixing and feeding device includes: a storage hopper frame 1, with a discharge port 106 connected to the lower surface of the storage hopper frame 1. A feeding mechanism 2 is rotatably mounted at one end of the discharge port 106. The lower surface of the feeding mechanism 2 is slidably mounted on the upper surface of a guide rail plate 104, which is fixedly mounted at one end of the storage hopper frame 1. An n-shaped cylinder 101 is fixedly mounted inside the storage hopper frame 1. A cylindrical cutter 103 is rotatably mounted inside the n-shaped cylinder 101. A rotating shaft at one end of the cylindrical cutter 103 rotatably passes through the storage hopper frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a reduction motor 102, which is fixedly mounted at one end of the storage hopper frame 1. The outer surface of the n-shaped cylinder 101 has multiple sets of circular holes at equal intervals. The blade of the cylindrical cutter 103 slides against the inner ring wall inside the n-shaped cylinder 101, so that the straw entering the n-shaped cylinder 101 through the circular holes can be chopped and mixed by the rotating cylindrical cutter 103 and discharged into the discharge port 106. Vibration motors 105 are fixedly installed at both ends of the storage hopper frame 1.

[0025] Through the design of the storage hopper 1, n-shaped cylinder 101, reduction motor 102, cylindrical cutter 103, vibration motor 105, discharge port 106, and feeding mechanism 2, when feeding cattle and sheep, the staff can activate the feeding mechanism 2 to adjust the feeding trough to the required height according to the growth stage of the cattle and sheep, so that each cattle and sheep can eat at a comfortable height, avoiding feeding difficulties caused by unsuitable height, and greatly improving the feeding enthusiasm of the cattle and sheep. Then, the forage can be put into the storage hopper 1 and... By starting the geared motor 102 and the vibration motor 105, the forage is gradually brought into contact with the surface of the inner n-shaped cylinder 101 by the vibration action of the vibration motor 105. The multiple sets of circular holes evenly spaced on the outer surface of the n-shaped cylinder 101 provide a channel for the forage to enter the cylinder. At this time, the started geared motor 102 can drive the cylindrical cutter 103 to rotate at high speed inside the n-shaped cylinder 101 through the output shaft. Because the blade of the cylindrical cutter 103 is closely attached to the inner ring wall of the n-shaped cylinder 101, When the forage enters the n-shaped cylinder 101 through the round hole, it is immediately and precisely chopped by the rotating blades. During the chopping process, the high-speed rotating blades simultaneously stir the forage, allowing different types or parts of the forage to be fully mixed. At the same time, the vibrating motors 105 at both ends of the storage hopper 1 work continuously, and the vibrations they generate cause the forage in the storage hopper 1 to move continuously toward the round hole of the n-shaped cylinder 101, preventing the forage from accumulating and clogging, and ensuring that the forage can continuously enter the n-shaped cylinder 101 for chopping and mixing. The evenly mixed forage finally falls into the discharge port 106, which guides the forage into the feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 2 can then fully spread the subsequent forage in the feeding trough by conveying it, and then shut down the equipment. After the forage is consumed, the operation of chopping and conveying the forage can be restarted. The whole process is highly automated, reducing the tediousness of manual intervention, reducing the labor intensity of the staff, and improving the efficiency of the feeding work. It is especially suitable for the daily operation needs of small and medium-sized farms.

[0026] like Figures 3-4As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a first conveyor 202, which is rotatably mounted at one end of the discharge port 106. The lower surface of the first conveyor 202 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod 201, while the other end of the electric push rod 201 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the guide rail plate 104. This allows the electric push rod 201 to push the first conveyor 202 upward or downward at the discharge port 106 by lifting the piston rod. A second conveyor 203 is rotatably mounted at one end of the first conveyor 202. Baffles 206 are fixedly mounted on the upper surfaces of both the first conveyor 202 and the second conveyor 203, thereby forming a feed trough between the two sets of baffles 206 and the conveyor belt of the conveyor. Two sets of connecting arms 204 are fixedly installed at both ends of the second conveyor 203. Each set of connecting arms 204 has a connecting cylinder 205 slidingly mounted on its outer surface. The connecting cylinder 205 is guided by rollers rotatably installed on its lower surface and rolls in the track on the upper surface of the guide plate 104.

[0027] Through the design of the electric push rod 201, the first conveyor 202, the second conveyor 203, the connecting arm 204, the connecting cylinder 205, and the baffle 206, when adjusting the height of the feeding trough before feeding cattle and sheep, the electric push rod 201 can be activated to push the first conveyor 202 upward or downward around the connection point of the discharge port 106 by extending or retracting the piston rod, thereby changing the tilt angle of the first conveyor 202 and achieving precise adjustment of the conveying height. During this process, the second conveyor 203, which is rotatably connected to the first conveyor 202, can be pulled up or down together. Since two sets of connecting arms 204 are fixedly installed at both ends of the second conveyor 203, and the outer surface of each set of connecting arms 204 is slidably fitted with a connecting cylinder 205, when the second conveyor 203 is pulled up and down, the connecting arm 204 will slide up or down inside the connecting cylinder 205. At the same time, the rollers rotatably installed on the lower surface of the connecting cylinder 205 will slide on the upper surface of the guide plate 104. The feeder rolls left or right along the track to adapt to the position changes of the second conveyor 203, allowing it to flexibly adapt to the feeding height of cattle and sheep at different growth stages. Whether it is the lower height required by young cattle and sheep or the higher height suitable for adult cattle and sheep, it can accurately meet their needs, allowing them to feed in a comfortable posture, reducing feeding difficulties or physical injuries caused by unsuitable height, and improving their feeding experience and enthusiasm. After the height adjustment is completed, the first conveyor 202 and the second conveyor 203 can be started, and the feed will be gradually transported into the second conveyor 203 through the first conveyor 202. During this process, the first conveyor 202 and the second conveyor 203 will use the baffles 206 on both sides to surround the feed and form a feed trough for the cattle and sheep to eat. The conveyor belt of the second conveyor 203 continues to operate until the feed trough is full, ensuring that all cattle and sheep can eat the feed evenly, avoiding competition caused by uneven feed distribution, and maintaining the group feeding order.

[0028] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: When feeding cattle and sheep, the staff can activate the electric push rod 201 according to the growth stage of the cattle and sheep. The extension or retraction of the piston rod pushes the first conveyor 202 to rotate upward or downward around the connection point of the discharge port 106, thereby changing the tilt angle of the first conveyor 202 and achieving precise adjustment of the conveying height. During this process, the second conveyor 203, which is rotatably connected to the first conveyor 202, can be pulled up or down together. Since two sets of connecting arms 204 are fixedly installed at both ends of the second conveyor 203, and the outer surface of each set of connecting arms 204 is fitted with a connecting cylinder 205, when the second conveyor 203 is pulled up or down... At this time, the connecting arm 204 will slide up or down inside the connecting cylinder 205, and the rollers rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the connecting cylinder 205 will roll left or right in the track on the upper surface of the guide plate 104 to adapt to the position change of the second conveyor 203, so that it can flexibly adapt to the feeding height of cattle and sheep at different growth stages. After the height adjustment is completed, the hay can be put into the storage hopper 1 and the reduction motor 102 and the vibration motor 105 can be started. Then, the hay can be gradually brought into contact with the surface of the inner n-shaped cylinder 101 by the vibration of the vibration motor 105. The multiple sets of round holes evenly spaced on the outer surface of the n-shaped cylinder 101 provide a channel for the hay to enter the cylinder. At this time, the starting reduction motor... Machine 102 drives a cylindrical cutter 103 to rotate at high speed inside the n-shaped cylinder 101 via an output shaft. Because the blades of the cylindrical cutter 103 are tightly fitted against the inner ring wall of the n-shaped cylinder 101, when the forage enters the n-shaped cylinder 101 through the round hole, it is immediately and precisely chopped by the rotating blades. During the chopping process, the high-speed rotating blades simultaneously stir the forage, ensuring thorough mixing of different types or parts of the forage. Meanwhile, the vibrating motors 105 at both ends of the storage hopper 1 continuously operate, and the resulting vibrations cause the forage in the storage hopper 1 to continuously move towards the round hole of the n-shaped cylinder 101, preventing forage accumulation and blockage, and ensuring a continuous flow of forage into the n-shaped cylinder 101 for chopping and mixing. The uniformly mixed forage finally falls into the cylinder. The discharge port 106 guides the forage into the first conveyor 202, which then transports the forage to the second conveyor 203. During this process, the first and second conveyors 202 and 203 use baffles 206 on both sides to enclose the forage and form a feed trough for cattle and sheep to eat. The conveyor belt of the second conveyor 203 continues to operate until the feed trough is full, at which point the equipment can be shut down. After the cattle and sheep have finished eating, the equipment can be restarted to chop and transport the forage. The entire process is highly automated, reducing the tediousness of manual intervention, lowering the labor intensity of workers, and improving the efficiency of feeding work. It is especially suitable for the daily operation needs of small and medium-sized farms.

[0029] In summary, adjusting the height of the feeding trough can flexibly adapt to the feeding height of cattle and sheep at different growth stages. Whether it is the lower height required by young cattle and sheep or the higher height suitable for adult cattle and sheep, it can accurately meet their needs, allowing them to feed in a comfortable posture, reducing feeding difficulties or physical injuries caused by unsuitable height, and improving their feeding experience and enthusiasm.
