Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to feeding equipment for sheep breeding sheds, specifically a temperature-compensated ration mixing device for fattening sheep in sheds. Background Technology

[0002] Sheep fattening in stalls is the main model of modern intensive and standardized mutton production. Its core objectives are to improve feed conversion efficiency, shorten the fattening cycle, enhance mutton quality and yield, and maximize breeding benefits. Precise feed supply is a key link in achieving this goal. Traditional sheep fattening in stalls mainly relies on manual formula design and feeding based on human experience. This feeding method often ignores changes in ambient temperature during actual feeding, using a fixed feed formula. Temperature changes often affect sheep's feed intake. For example, when the temperature is high, sheep eat less and are prone to indigestion, while when the temperature is low, sheep eat more and have certain requirements for food absorption. These effects of temperature on sheep's feed intake need to be addressed by adjusting the feed formula to achieve the best fattening effect.

[0003] Therefore, developing an automatic feeder that can sense changes in ambient temperature in real time and adjust the formula or amount of feed for fattening sheep intelligently, accurately and automatically is of great practical significance and application value for breaking through the current technical bottlenecks in indoor fattening of sheep, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement and sustainable development.

The box is divided into different feed bins by partitions. The bottom of the overall feed bin is equipped with a mixing section to mix the feed evenly. Temperature sensors are also installed on the outside of the box.

[0007] Each hopper has a corresponding screw conveyor at its bottom, and each screw conveyor has a corresponding drive motor. The outlet of the screw conveyor corresponds to the mixing section at the bottom of the hopper.

[0008] The mixing section includes a ramp at the bottom of the silo, with two symmetrical ramps at the bottom of the silo, forming a funnel-shaped structure. The tops of the two ramps cover the outlet of the spiral conveyor at the bottom of the silo. The mixing section also includes a mixing channel at the bottom of the ramp.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom inner side of the box body is provided with a notch, the mixing part is located in the box body outside the notch, the mixing channel extends from the box body into the notch, the top of the mixing channel is connected to the bottom of the slope plate, and the mixing channel is provided with stirring blades driven by a motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the box body is provided with support parts on both sides for fixed support to the fence.

[0011] The support includes an electric push rod mounted on the housing. The end of the electric push rod is equipped with a stepper motor, and a plate-shaped bracket is connected to the stepper motor. The stepper motor is positioned at the center of the bracket, and support wheels are provided at both ends of the bracket. The outer edge of the support wheels is provided with annular recesses.

[0012] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This device can adjust the feed ratio in real time according to temperature changes, making the feed easier for sheep to eat and absorb, thus ensuring fattening effect.

[0014] Furthermore, this device operates in an automated manner, and in actual use it can move automatically and maintain stability, making it a good application scenario in medium and large-scale farms. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only one or more manifestations of the present invention and are not a complete limitation on the invention content recorded in this application. Any improvements made based on the invention content or technical solution recorded in this application that are known to those skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0020] Furthermore, the descriptions of directions such as up, down, left, right, front, and back presented in the specific embodiments are merely for the purpose of describing the technical solutions and are not absolute limitations unless otherwise stated.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 The automatic feed mixing device for mutton sheep based on temperature compensation shown includes a box 1 and wheels 101 at the bottom of the box 1. The box 1 is divided into different feed bins 3 by partitions 2. The bottom of the feed bins 3 is provided with a mixing part 4 for mixing the feed from the feed bins 3 evenly. Temperature sensors 5 are also provided on the outside of the box 1.

[0022] Each hopper 3 has a corresponding spiral conveying section 6 at its bottom, and each spiral conveying section 6 has a corresponding drive motor 601. The outlet 602 of the spiral conveying section 6 corresponds to the mixing section 4 at the bottom of the hopper 3.

[0023] The mixing section 4 includes a ramp 401 located at the bottom of the silo 3. Two ramps 401 are provided symmetrically at the bottom of the silo 3. The two ramps 401 form a funnel-shaped structure at the bottom of the silo 3. The tops of the two ramps 401 cover the outlet 602 of the spiral conveying section 6 at the bottom of the silo 3. The mixing section 4 also includes a mixing channel 402 located at the bottom of the ramp 401.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom inner side of the box 1 is provided with a notch 102, the mixing part 4 is provided in the box 1 outside the notch 102, the mixing channel 402 extends from the box 1 into the notch 102, the top of the mixing channel 402 is connected to the bottom of the slope plate 401, and the mixing channel 402 is provided with a stirring blade 404 driven by a motor 403.

[0025] Furthermore, the box body 1 is provided with support parts 7 on both sides, which are fixedly supported to the fence.

[0026] The support part 7 includes an electric push rod 701 mounted on the housing 1. The end of the electric push rod 701 is provided with a stepper motor 702. A plate-shaped bracket 703 is connected to the stepper motor 702. The stepper motor 702 corresponds to the center of the bracket 703. Support wheels 704 are provided at both ends of the bracket 703. The outer edge of the support wheel 704 is provided with an annular recess 705.

[0027] When in use, this device is installed outside the fence inside the sheepfold. The notch corresponds to the feeding trough on the outside of the fence, the mixing channel corresponds to the top of the feeding trough, and the support wheels on the support part support the horizontal rails on the fence.

[0028] Temperature sensors monitor the temperature inside the sheepfold and control the motor of the screw conveyor based on the monitored temperature changes, thereby changing the outflow speed of raw materials in different hoppers, which in turn changes the mixing ratio. Then, different raw materials enter the mixing section, fall into the mixing channel through the ramp, and are then mixed by the mixing blades and output to the feed trough below the notch.

[0029] The container moves via wheels at the bottom, with the support structure stabilizing it. During movement, an electric push rod extends the bracket to the fence, then a stepper motor at the end rotates, causing the support wheels at both ends to support the adjacent horizontal fences. The recesses on the support wheels correspond to the fences. The bracket's rotating structure allows it to handle fences of different sizes. When passing a vertical fence, the bracket can first rotate and retract to the side of the container, then extend again to rotate and support after passing the vertical fence.
