Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy farming equipment technology, specifically a feed dispensing device for dairy farming. Background Technology
[0002] In dairy farming, scientific and rational feed application is crucial for ensuring cow health and improving milk production efficiency. Currently, large-scale farms typically use a circular enclosure feeding model. This design maximizes the use of space, reduces enclosure construction costs, and facilitates centralized management. However, existing feed application methods still have the following problems:
[0003] 1. Low efficiency of manual feeding: The traditional method mainly relies on manual pushing of carts or shovels to transport feed and feed it one by one along the edge of the fence. This method is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of feed distribution, which affects the balance of dairy cows' feeding.
[0004] 2. Linear conveying equipment (such as belt conveyors) cannot meet the feeding requirements of circular enclosures. If forced to modify them, the equipment will have poor stability, and the rotating parts will be prone to wear and tear, resulting in high maintenance costs.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a feed dispensing device for dairy farming. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feed dispensing device for dairy farming, which has advantages such as improving the efficiency and quality of feed dispensing and can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a feed dispensing device for dairy cow farming, comprising a base plate, a base box at the lower end of the base plate, a first motor fixedly installed at the front end of the bottom of one side of the base box, a worm gear and a worm wheel inside the base box, a driven shaft fixedly installed in the middle of the lower outer surface of the base plate, the lower end of the driven shaft extending into the interior of the base box, a feed pipe fixedly installed on the upper part of the base plate, a second motor fixedly installed at one end of the feed pipe, a hopper fixedly installed at the end of the upper outer surface of the feed pipe near the second motor, and a discharge port at the end of the lower outer surface of the feed pipe away from the second motor.

A discharge pipe is fixedly installed on the lower outer surface of the storage bin. Lifting rings are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the upper outer surface of the storage bin. Lifting chains are installed on the lifting rings. A support frame is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end of the conveying pipe away from the second motor. A support column is fixedly installed on the lower outer surface of the support frame. A caster wheel is installed on the lower outer surface of the support column.
[0008] Preferably, a coupling is provided between the rotating shaft and the second motor, and the outer surface of one end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the output shaft of the second motor through the coupling. Sealed bearings are provided between the rotating shaft and the end plate and the conveying pipe, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the end plate and the conveying pipe through the sealed bearings.
[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the discharge pipe extends through a port into the upper part of the hopper cavity.
[0010] Preferably, a coupling is provided between the worm and the first motor, and the outer surface of one end of the worm is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the output shaft of the first motor through the coupling.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a feed dispensing device for dairy farming, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This feed dispensing device for dairy farming uses a spiral conveyor mechanism (rotating shaft and spiral blades) in conjunction with a second motor to achieve continuous and uniform feed delivery, greatly improving feeding efficiency and replacing the traditional manual feeding method. The first motor drives the worm and worm wheel transmission to drive the entire feed pipe to rotate around the driven shaft, achieving 360° automated feeding and adapting to the feeding needs of circular enclosures.
[0015] This feed dispensing device for dairy farming adopts a suspended storage bin design, which transfers the main load to the external support structure (such as roof beams), significantly reducing the load on rotating parts and extending the service life of the equipment. The coordinated design of the support frame, support column and casters provides multi-point support for the extended feed pipe. Attached Figure Description
