Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of feed feeding devices, specifically a feed feeding device for dairy farms. Background Technology

[0002] In modern livestock farms, dairy cows are kept in enclosures. When feed needs to be delivered, a delivery truck passes through the passageways between the enclosures to deliver the feed to the cows.

[0003] The delivery vehicle loads the mixed and processed feed into its cargo box. As the vehicle moves, the auger and conveyor system rotate simultaneously. The auger moves the feed from the cargo box to the top of the conveyor system, which then discharges the feed from the cargo box for feeding. The conveyor system is usually a belt conveyor. Since the processed feed is sticky, it will stick to the outer wall of the belt. As the feed is continuously fed, the amount of sticky feed will increase, requiring manual cleaning.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a feed dispensing device for dairy farms to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a feed feeding device for dairy farms, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Existing conveyor devices are usually belt conveyors, and processed feed itself is sticky. Therefore, the feed will stick to the outer wall of the belt. As the feed is continuously fed, the sticky feed will increase, thus requiring manual cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a feed feeding device for dairy farms, comprising a feeding vehicle, a feed transfer device disposed inside the feeding vehicle for feeding feed, and a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding vehicle for installation of the feed transfer device;

[0007] To facilitate the removal of feed adhering to the outer wall of the feeding device: a scraping assembly for scraping feed off the outer wall of the feeding device is provided between the feeding device and the discharge pipe. A guide box for discharging feed dropped by the scraping assembly is provided at the bottom of the scraping assembly. A connecting block for connecting the scraping assembly and the guide box is fixedly connected to one side of the guide box. By fixing the two ends of the connecting block to the collection box and the guide box respectively with the mounting bolts, the shovel assembly and the guide box are placed between the material transfer device and the bottom of the inner wall of the discharge pipe, so that the top of the shovel plate contacts the outer wall of the material transfer device. The fixing bolts are inserted into the third threaded hole and the second mounting hole at the same time, and the guide box is fixedly installed inside the discharge pipe. When the material transfer device is started to feed, as the material transfer device rotates, the shovel plate removes the feed adhering to the outer wall of the material transfer device, and the removed feed falls into the guide box through the trough and is discharged from the discharge pipe.

By activating the conveying device, the shoveling plate can remove feed adhering to the outer wall of the conveying device.

[0009] Preferably, to facilitate the connection between the shovel assembly and the guide box: a trough for dropping feed is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the collection box, and a first threaded hole is provided on the side of the collection box away from the shovel plate. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the collection box and the guide box by the mounting bolts, thereby keeping the collection box and the guide box relatively fixed and ensuring that the dropped feed falls accurately into the interior of the guide box.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the guide box is provided with a second threaded hole, and the top and bottom ends of the connecting block away from the guide box are respectively provided with first mounting holes, and mounting bolts for connecting the connecting block and the collection box to the guide box are inserted inside the first mounting holes.

[0011] Preferably, to induce the collection box to sway: the connecting block is located in the middle of the side on which the collection box is installed. By positioning the connecting block in the middle of the connection between the collection box and the feed guide box, as the feeding vehicle moves, the two ends of the collection box move with the feeding vehicle, generating slight vibrations, thereby facilitating the discharge of feed from inside the collection box.

[0012] Preferably, to facilitate the fixed installation of the guide box inside the discharge pipe: third threaded holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the outer wall of the guide box, and second mounting holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the outer wall of the discharge pipe. Fixing bolts for threaded insertion into the third threaded holes are inserted into the interior of the second mounting holes. The guide box and the discharge pipe are fixedly installed using these fixing bolts, ensuring the guide box and the shovel assembly are securely installed inside the discharge pipe.

[0013] This application, through the design of a shovel assembly, a guide box, and a connecting block, uses mounting bolts to fix both ends of the connecting block to the collection box and the guide box respectively. The shovel assembly and the guide box are then placed between the bottom of the inner wall of the conveying device and the discharge pipe, with the top of the shovel plate contacting the outer wall of the conveying device. Fixing bolts are simultaneously inserted into the third threaded hole and the second mounting hole, fixing the guide box inside the discharge pipe. When the conveying device is started for feed feeding, the rotation of the conveying device causes the shovel plate to remove feed adhering to the outer wall of the conveying device. The removed feed falls into the guide box through a chute and is discharged from the discharge pipe, reducing manual cleaning operations. Attached Figure Description
