[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 The illustrated mobile feed spreader for broiler houses includes a mobile vehicle body 1, which comprises a mobile chassis 11 and a housing 12 mounted on the chassis 11. At least two feed hoppers 2 are fixedly installed within the housing. It should be noted that in this design, the feed hoppers are used to store feed to be spread, and to ensure the healthy growth of broilers, multiple types of feed are often required. Therefore, in this design, there are two or more feed hoppers 2 to store multiple types of feed at once. Figure 5 As shown, a set of discharge pipe assembly A3 is also installed at the bottom of the feed bin 2 to control the discharge status of the feed bin 2. In addition, in order to achieve a more uniform mixing of the various feeds and ensure that the broilers can peck at the various feeds evenly, a set of mixing component 4 is also connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe assembly A3 to evenly disperse and mix the feed discharged from the discharge pipe assembly before spreading it in the chicken house.

[0026] like Figure 5As shown, in this design, the specific structure of the discharge pipe assembly A3 includes a discharge pipe A31 connected to the bottom of the material box 2, a drive cylinder A32, and a baffle 34A. The discharge pipe A31 has a radially penetrating slot A33 on its wall. The drive cylinder A32 is horizontally positioned beside the discharge pipe A31. The baffle A34 is driven by the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder. In this design, the baffle can slide into the slot A, and a discharge port A35 is also provided on the baffle. By extending and retracting the drive cylinder A32, the position of the discharge port A in the discharge pipe A31 can be controlled, thereby conveniently controlling the discharge volume of the material box and the opening and closing state of the discharge pipe assembly A.

[0027] It is also important to know that in this solution, the mixing assembly 4 includes a mixing chamber 41 connected to the discharge pipe A. A motor 42 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mixing chamber 41. The output shaft of the motor can rotatably extend into the mixing chamber and is connected to a set of stirring paddles 43. When the feed in the feed hopper is discharged into the mixing chamber, the stirring paddles, driven by the motor and rotating, quickly mix the various feeds in the mixing chamber, ensuring the uniformity of the feed distribution. This prevents broilers from pecking at only one type of feed, which could lead to malnutrition.

[0028] In addition, it should be noted that in the above scheme, the mixing paddle can adopt a structure of three mixing rods arranged in a spoke-like manner. This structure can not only mix the feed evenly when rotating rapidly, but also prevent the feed from clogging in the mixing chamber, ensuring the smooth feeding of the mixing chamber during the mixing process.

[0029] In addition, it should be noted that, in order to effectively control the final discharge state, a discharge pipe assembly B44 for controlling the opening and closing state of the mixing chamber is connected below the mixing chamber 41.

[0030] In this design, the discharge pipe assembly B44 specifically includes a discharge pipe B441 connected to the bottom of the mixing chamber 41. A slot B442 is formed in the wall of the discharge pipe B, the width of which is greater than the inner diameter of the discharge pipe B. Simultaneously, a baffle B444 is slidably inserted into the slot B442. This baffle B443 is connected to a drive cylinder B444 located beside the discharge pipe B441. By extending or retracting the telescopic rod on the drive cylinder B, the connected baffle B moves in and out of the slot B, thereby controlling the opening and closing state of the discharge pipe B.

[0031] Additionally, it's important to know that in this design, to ensure the feed falls smoothly, a vibrator 5 can be installed in each feed hopper. The vibration of the vibrator helps the feed fall at a uniform speed.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be noted that during broiler chicken farming, feed may need to be changed depending on the broilers' growth. Changing the feed by discharging it from the feed hopper would be very inconvenient due to the limited space under the moving chassis. Directly emptying the feed hopper would also be inconvenient. Therefore, this design incorporates a side-opening design for both the shell 12 and the feed hopper 2 to improve the ease of feed changing. Specifically, the shell 12 includes a main body A121, which is a U-shaped mechanism. The feed hopper is housed within the main body A. A flap A122 is located on the open side of the main body A, with its lower edge hinged to the main body A121, allowing it to be flipped outwards. A stop bar 123 is also inserted on the side of the main body A where the flap A is located. When the flap A is upright, the stop bar A abuts against the outer surface of the flap A, ensuring the shell forms a closed structure.

[0033] Meanwhile, as shown in the diagram, the feed bin 2 in this design includes a main body B21, which, like the main body A, opens from the side. A flap B22 is also provided on the open side of the main body B. The lower edge of the flap B22 is hinged to the main body B, allowing it to be flipped outwards. It's important to note that in this design, flap B and flap A are on the same side, so that the upright flap A can press against the outer surface of flap B, providing support for the integrity of the feed bin. When flap A is flipped down, workers only need to flip down flap B of the feed bin that needs to be leveled to quickly remove the feed, thus greatly improving the efficiency of feed replacement.

[0034] Working Principle: When automatic feed dispensing is required, the operator first pours the desired feed type into the feed hopper. Then, the mobile chassis is controlled to move periodically within the broiler house to guide the dispensing trajectory. Simultaneously, discharge pipe assembly A controls the opening of the feed hopper to discharge feed into the mixing chamber. During this process, the motor drives the agitator to mix the feed entering the mixing chamber. Finally, the mixed feed is discharged through discharge pipe assembly B, completing the mobile feed dispensing operation within the broiler house.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
