Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed feeding technology, specifically a feed feeding device for cattle breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Feeding is a crucial step in the aquaculture process. It involves scientifically formulating and regularly distributing feed according to the growth stage, nutritional needs, and environmental factors of the aquatic organisms to meet their energy and nutrient requirements for growth and development.

[0003] In the prior art, patent announcement number CN219009303U discloses a feed delivery vehicle that facilitates feeding, including a hopper body. Two hydraulic rods are fixedly installed on the side end of the hopper body. A bearing plate is fixedly installed at the top of each hydraulic rod. The same feed box is slidably installed on the side end of the two bearing plates. A side baffle is slidably installed on the side end of the feed box. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the side baffle.

[0004] During the feeding process, the feed is first properly stored inside a dedicated feed bin. Then, the worker responsible for feeding manually pushes the feed-filled bin slowly to the designated feeding trough. Upon arrival at the trough, the worker uses shovels and other tools to scoop the feed from the bin and precisely feed it into the trough. This feeding method is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also relatively cumbersome, resulting in low overall feeding efficiency. Furthermore, the feed tends to stick to the inner wall of the feed bin, requiring frequent cleaning by workers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feed dispensing device for cattle farming to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feed feeding device for cattle farming, comprising a feed box, a feed inlet fixedly installed at the upper end of the feed box, a positioning support fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed box, a feeding mechanism installed at the bottom of the feed box, the feeding mechanism comprising a lower housing fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed box and a first housing fixedly installed on one side of the feed box, a conveyor belt installed inside the lower housing, a feeding trough provided at the bottom of the feed box, an auger rotatably installed inside the feeding trough, and a striking mechanism installed on the side wall of the feed box.

[0007] Preferably, an upper shell is fixedly installed above the lower shell, and the upper shell extends into the material box. A motor is fixedly installed at one end of the first shell, and a drive shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. Both the drive shaft and the auger are fixedly installed with linkage helical gears, and the linkage helical gears mesh together in pairs.

[0008] Preferably, bearings are installed on both the hopper and the first housing, and the auger and drive shaft are rotatably mounted in the hopper and the first housing respectively via the bearings.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the material box has a notch, the upper housing extends into the material box through the notch, and the output end of the motor is provided with a coupling, and the drive shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor through the coupling.

[0010] Preferably, the striking mechanism includes a second housing and a steel plate fixedly installed on the side wall of the material box. A movable shaft is rotatably installed inside the second housing. A stop bar is fixedly installed inside the second housing. A spring is fixedly installed on the movable shaft. A steel ball is fixedly installed at the end of the spring. A helical gear is fixedly installed on the movable shaft. A small helical gear is fixedly installed at the end of the drive shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a bearing is installed on the second housing, and the movable shaft is rotatably installed in the second housing via the bearing.

[0012] Preferably, the helical gear disk is rotatably mounted on the second housing via a movable shaft, the small helical gear is rotatably mounted inside the second housing via a drive shaft, and the helical gear disk and the small helical gear mesh together. One end of the spring is fixedly mounted on the movable shaft, and the other end of the spring is fixedly mounted on the steel ball.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. In this application, the motor can be started after the feed bin is moved to the feeding trough position. After the motor starts, it will drive the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the auger to rotate. The rotation of the auger acts on the feed, causing it to move towards the conveyor belt. After the conveyor belt starts running, it can transport the feed to the feeding trough, ultimately achieving rapid feeding.

[0015] 2. In this application, the drive shaft drives the small helical gear to rotate via transmission, which in turn drives the helical gear disc to rotate. The rotation of the helical gear disc drives the rotation of the movable shaft, which in turn drives the rotation of the steel ball at the end of the spring. During the rotation of the steel ball, its continuous impact on the steel plate generates a vibration effect. This vibration effect acts on the side wall of the feed box, causing feed particles adhering to the inner wall of the feed box to fall off, effectively preventing the feed from sticking to the side wall of the feed box.

[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] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a feed feeding device for cattle farming, including a feed box 1, a feed inlet 2 fixedly installed at the upper end of the feed box 1, a positioning support 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed box 1, a feeding mechanism 4 installed at the bottom of the feed box 1, and a striking mechanism 5 installed on the side wall of the feed box 1. The feeding mechanism 4 can realize the rapid feeding of feed, and the striking mechanism 5 can cause the side wall of the feed box 1 to vibrate, causing the feed adhering to the inside of the feed box 1 to fall off, preventing the feed from sticking to the side wall of the feed box 1.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a lower housing 401 fixedly installed at the bottom of the material box 1 and a first housing 407 fixedly installed on one side of the material box 1. A conveyor belt 402 is installed inside the lower housing 401. A feeding trough 404 is provided at the bottom of the material box 1. An auger 405 is rotatably installed inside the feeding trough 404. An upper housing 403 is fixedly installed above the lower housing 401 and extends into the material box 1. A motor 406 is fixedly installed at one end of the first housing 407. A drive shaft 408 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 406. A linkage helical gear 409 is fixedly installed on both the drive shaft 408 and the auger 405, and the linkage helical gears 409 mesh together in pairs. Bearings are installed on both the material box 1 and the first housing 407. The auger 405 and the drive shaft 408 are rotatably installed in the material box 1 and the first housing 407 respectively through the bearings.

[0024] Specifically, after the feed bin 1 is moved to the designated position in the feeding trough, the operator starts the motor 406. Once started, the motor 406 quickly enters working mode, driving the connected drive shaft 408 to rotate. During rotation, the drive shaft 408 drives the auger 405 to rotate synchronously. Utilizing its spiral structure design, the auger 405 effectively pushes the feed from the feed bin 1 onto the conveyor belt 402. Upon receiving the feed, the conveyor belt 402 begins to operate, continuously transmitting the feed smoothly and efficiently into the feeding trough. In this way, the entire feeding process is completed smoothly, achieving rapid and precise feeding and greatly improving feeding efficiency.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the striking mechanism 5 includes a second housing 501 and a steel plate 504 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the material box 1. A movable shaft 502 is rotatably mounted inside the second housing 501. A stop bar 508 is fixedly mounted inside the second housing 501. A spring 503 is fixedly mounted on the movable shaft 502. A steel ball 505 is fixedly mounted at the end of the spring 503. A helical gear 506 is fixedly mounted on the movable shaft 502. A small helical gear 507 is fixedly mounted at the end of the drive shaft 408. A bearing is mounted on the second housing 501, and the movable shaft 502 is rotatably mounted inside the second housing 501 via the bearing.

[0026] Specifically, during operation, the drive shaft 408 effectively drives the small helical gear 507 connected to it to rotate using its own rotational power. After receiving the power transmitted from the drive shaft 408, the small helical gear 507 begins to rotate, and during this rotation, it further transmits its power to the meshing helical gear disc 506, causing the helical gear disc 506 to also begin to rotate. Simultaneously, the helical gear disc 506 drives the movable shaft 502 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the movable shaft 502, the steel ball 505 at the end of the spring 503 also begins to rotate. The steel ball 505 continuously strikes the steel plate 504 during its rotation, and this rhythmic striking action causes vibration on the side wall of the feed hopper 1. This vibration effectively causes the feed adhering to the inner wall of the feed hopper 1 to fall off due to vibration, thus effectively preventing the feed from sticking to the side wall of the feed hopper 1 due to prolonged static storage.

[0027] Working principle: First, the entire equipment is installed on a tricycle. The tricycle can be used to move the feed bin 1 to the feeding trough. After the feed bin 1 is moved to the feeding trough, the motor 406 can be started. After the motor 406 is started, it will drive the drive shaft 408 to rotate. After the drive shaft 408 rotates, it will drive the auger 405 to rotate. After the auger 405 rotates, it will transport the feed to the conveyor belt 402. After the conveyor belt 402 starts running, it can transport the feed to the feeding trough, realizing the rapid feeding of feed. Furthermore, during the feeding process, the drive shaft 408 will drive the small helical gear 507 to rotate. After the small gear 507 rotates, it will drive the helical gear disk 506 to rotate. After the helical gear disk 506 rotates, it will drive the movable shaft 502 to rotate. After the movable shaft 502 rotates, it will drive the steel ball 505 at the end of the spring 503 to rotate. During the rotation of the steel ball 505 at the end of the spring 503, it will strike the steel plate 504, thereby causing the side wall of the feed box 1 to vibrate, causing the feed stuck to the inside of the feed box 1 to fall off, preventing the feed from sticking to the side wall of the feed box 1.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
