Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken farming methods are generally divided into cage-raised chickens and free-range chickens. Free-range chickens are healthier, have firmer meat, better taste, and higher nutritional value because they can move freely, thus they are often much more expensive than cage-raised chickens. Currently, free-range chickens are typically fed using feed troughs placed in the chicken coop. These troughs cannot store feed, so feed must be placed into them each time they are fed, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a feeding device to address the above-mentioned technical deficiencies.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a feeding device, including a storage bin with an open top, a plurality of threaded pipes at the bottom of the storage bin, the threaded pipes communicating with the cavity inside the storage bin, a feeder connected to the threaded pipes, the feeder including a cylinder connected to the threaded pipes, a hopper inside the cylinder, a discharge pipe at the lower part of the hopper, a receiving basin inside the cylinder, the receiving basin being located below the hopper, the lower end of the discharge pipe being higher than the top of the receiving basin, and a feeding port on one side of the cylinder.

[0005] To further optimize this technical solution, a support base is provided at the bottom of the storage hopper.

[0006] To further optimize this technical solution, a step is provided inside the cylinder, and a rim is provided on the top of the hopper, with the rim secured to the step.

[0007] To further optimize this technical solution, the sidewall of the receiving basin is inclined inward from top to bottom.

[0008] To further optimize this technical solution, a screw cylinder is provided on the outside of the receiving basin, and a threaded part is provided on the lower part of the cylinder to cooperate with the screw cylinder.

[0009] To further optimize this technical solution, a lid is provided on the top of the storage hopper.

[0010] To further optimize this technical solution, a handle is provided on the bucket lid.

[0011] The advantages of this invention are: the bottom of the feed storage hopper is equipped with multiple threaded pipes, which are connected to a feeder. The feeder contains a hopper and a receiving basin. A feeding port is provided on one side of the feeder. The feed in the storage hopper can fall into the receiving basin. Chickens can peck at the feed in the receiving basin through the feeding port. When the feed in the receiving basin decreases to a certain level, the feed in the storage hopper will continue to fall. Therefore, it is not necessary to add feed every day, which is more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0015] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Detailed implementation method: combined with Figure 1-2As shown, a feeding device includes a storage bin 1 with an open top. Multiple threaded pipes 11 are provided at the bottom of the storage bin 1, communicating with a cavity inside the storage bin 1. Each threaded pipe 11 is connected to a feeder 3. The feeder 3 includes a cylindrical body 31 connected to the threaded pipes 11. The upper part of the cylindrical body 31 has a threaded portion for threaded connection with the threaded pipes 11. A hopper 32 is provided inside the cylindrical body 31, with a discharge pipe at the lower part of the hopper 32. A receiving basin 33 is also provided inside the cylindrical body 31, located below the hopper 32. The lower end of the discharge pipe is higher than the top of the receiving basin 33. A feeding port 311 is provided on one side of the cylindrical body 31. In use, feed is placed in the storage bin 1. Under gravity, the feed falls through the threaded pipe 11 into the feed hopper 32, and then through the feed pipe into the receiving basin 33. When the feed in the receiving basin 33 is higher than the lower end of the feed pipe by a certain height, the feed stops falling. The chickens then put their heads into the feeding opening 311 to peck at the feed in the receiving basin 33. When the feed in the receiving basin 33 decreases to a certain level, especially when the lower end of the feed pipe is completely exposed from the feed, the feed pipe will drop feed until the feed in the receiving basin 33 is higher than the lower end of the feed pipe by a certain height, allowing the chickens to peck at it. The storage bin 1 can hold a large amount of feed to feed the chickens for several days, so it is not necessary to add feed every day, which is quite convenient.

[0017] Furthermore, a support base 4 is provided at the bottom of the storage bin 1 to elevate the storage bin 1 so that the feeder 3 does not contact the ground.

[0018] Specifically, the cylinder 31 has a step inside, and the top of the hopper 32 has a rim, which is secured to the step to facilitate the production of the feeder 3.

[0019] Furthermore, the sidewall of the receiving basin 33 is inclined inward from top to bottom. Since there will always be a certain depth of feed in the receiving basin 33, this structure reduces the amount of feed left in the receiving basin 33.

[0020] Furthermore, a screw cylinder is provided on the outside of the receiving basin 33, and a threaded part is provided at the lower part of the cylinder 31 to cooperate with the screw cylinder. This facilitates the production of the feeder 3 and allows adjustment of the height of the receiving basin 33, thereby adjusting the depth of the feed pipe extending into the receiving basin 33.

[0021] Furthermore, a lid 2 is provided on the top of the storage hopper 1.

[0022] Furthermore, the bucket lid 2 is provided with a handle 21 for easy removal and placement of the bucket lid 2.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
