Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef cattle breeding technology, specifically to a large-scale beef cattle breeding shed. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's animal husbandry, large-scale beef cattle farming has become an important part of modern animal husbandry. To meet the nutritional needs of beef cattle and improve farming efficiency, farmers are paying increasing attention to cattle shed facilities and technology. Against this backdrop, developing a new type of feeding system for large-scale beef cattle farming is particularly important.

[0003] However, existing feeding systems in large-scale beef cattle farms generally have certain shortcomings. In existing systems, all feed is usually placed in a large trough, and all cattle eat from the same trough. This design easily leads to competition for food among the cattle, which not only affects their growth and development but also may cause feed waste and environmental pollution. In addition, because cattle cannot obtain feed according to their individual needs, it is difficult for farmers to achieve precise feeding management, thus affecting the profitability of the farm. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment of the present invention, a large-scale beef cattle shed includes a wall 1, with railings 2 inside the wall 1, dividing the area inside the wall 1 into an activity area and a feeding area. Several feeders 3 are arranged equidistantly in the feeding area. Each feeder 3 includes a storage bin 31, with a feed trough 32 on the side of the storage bin 31 closest to the railings 2. A discharge port 33 is located on one side of the storage bin 31 within the feed trough 32. Limiting plates 3 are hinged to both sides of the feed trough 32. 4. A foot plate 35 is provided between one end of the two limiting plates 34. The foot plate 35 is located in the activity area so that the cow can step on the foot plate 35 to move downward when eating. A cover plate 36 is provided at the upper opening of the feed trough 32. The cover plate 36 is connected to the other end of the limiting plate 34 through a drive member 37. By moving the foot plate 35 downward, the drive member 37 drives the cover plate 36 to rotate, opening the feed trough 32, making it convenient for the cow to eat the feed in the feed trough 32.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment of the utility model, the storage box 31 is filled with feed, and the discharge port 33 has a sloping structure and is inclined towards the feed trough 32.

[0026] Please see Figures 2-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, the driving component 37 includes a limiting block 371 disposed on one side of the storage box 31. A guide rod 372 is connected to the bottom of the limiting block 371. A limiting cylinder 373 is longitudinally slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 372. A gear 377 is meshed on one side of the limiting cylinder 373. A connecting plate 378 is fixedly connected to one end of the gear 377. The end of the connecting plate 378 near the gear 377 is rotatably disposed on the side of the storage box 31 and coaxial with the center of the gear 377. The other end of the gear 377 is fixedly disposed on one side of the cover plate 36. A spring 375 is also sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 372. The two ends of the spring 375 are respectively connected to the bottom of the limiting block 371 and the upper part of the limiting cylinder 373. A limiting rod 376 is connected to the lower end of the limiting cylinder 373.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove 341 corresponding to the limiting rod 376 is provided on the upper part of one end of the limiting plate 34. A guide shaft 342 is connected inside the limiting groove 341, and the lower end of the limiting rod 376 is laterally slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide shaft 342.

[0028] In this design, when the cows are in use, they first walk to the feeding area. When they reach the feeder 3, they step on the footplate 35, causing it to move downwards. The footplate 35 causes the other end of the limiting plate 34 to lift up. Under the elasticity of the spring 375, the limiting plate 34 pushes the limiting rod 376 upwards, thereby causing the limiting cylinder 373 to move upwards. The rack 374 on one side of the limiting cylinder 373 will drive the gear 377 meshing with it to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the connecting plate 378 to rotate clockwise. The connecting plate 378 will then drive the cover plate 36 to rotate upwards, opening the feed trough 32. The feed in the storage box 31 will slide into the feed trough 32 through the discharge port 33, allowing the cows to eat the feed in the feed trough 32. After eating, the cows will leave the footplate 35, and the footplate 35 will no longer be under pressure. At this time, the spring 375 will return to its original position, causing the cover plate 36 to cover the feed trough 32, thus sealing and preserving the feed and preventing it from spoiling.

[0029] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that:

[0030] Please see Figures 5-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, a cavity 3101 is provided inside the storage box 31 above the discharge port 33. An adjusting plate 3102 is slidably arranged in the cavity 3101. The lower side of the adjusting plate 3102 extends out of the cavity 3101. A knob 3103 is rotatably arranged on the top of the storage box 31. The lower end of the knob 3103 is connected to a screw 3104 inside the cavity 3101. A threaded groove adapted to the screw 3104 is provided on the upper side of the adjusting plate 3102. The screw 3104 is screwed into the threaded groove on the adjusting plate 3102.

[0031] In this scheme, when in use, the screw 3104 is rotated by turning the knob 3103, and the screw 3104 drives the adjusting plate 3102 to move longitudinally, thereby adjusting the discharge area of ​​the discharge port 33 and thus controlling the discharge speed.

[0032] Please see Figures 5-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, the length of the adjusting plate 3102 is equal to the internal length of the discharge port 33.

[0033] Working principle: When the cow needs to eat, it first walks to the feeding area. When it reaches the position of the feeder 3, the cow will step on the foot plate 35, causing it to move downward. The foot plate 35 causes the other end of the limiting plate 34 to lift up. Under the elasticity of the spring 375, the limiting plate 34 will push the limiting rod 376 upward, thereby causing the limiting cylinder 373 to move upward. The rack 374 on one side of the limiting cylinder 373 will drive the gear 377 meshing with it to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the connecting plate 378 to rotate clockwise. The connecting plate 378 will drive the cover plate 36 to rotate upward, opening the feed trough 32. The feed in the storage box 31 will slide into the feed trough 32 through the discharge port 33, and the cow can then eat the feed in the feed trough 32.

[0034] After the cow finishes eating, it will leave the position of the footboard 35, and the footboard 35 will no longer be under pressure. At this time, the spring 375 will return to its original position, so that the cover plate 36 will cover the feed trough 32, which can seal and preserve the feed and prevent it from spoiling.

[0035] By rotating the knob 3103, the screw 3104 is driven to rotate, and the screw 3104 drives the adjusting plate 3102 to move longitudinally, thereby adjusting the discharge area of ​​the discharge port 33 and thus controlling the discharge speed.

[0036] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
