Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a multi-angle animal husbandry feed spreader. Background Technology

[0002] In the livestock farming industry, feed spreading is a crucial step in ensuring livestock can eat normally and promoting their healthy growth. With the continuous expansion of farming scale and the increasing advancement of farming technology, higher demands are being placed on the performance and functionality of feed spreaders.

[0003] Traditional livestock feed spreaders have several limitations. Regarding feed uniformity, many spreaders can only spread feed in a single direction, resulting in uneven distribution of feed within the farming area. Excessive feed accumulation in some areas leads to waste and spoilage, while insufficient feed in others affects livestock feed intake and growth rate, ultimately hindering improved farming efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-angle livestock feed spreader, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The solution to the above-mentioned technical problems provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A multi-angle livestock feed spreader, comprising:

[0007] A base, wherein a support is provided on the outer side of the base;

[0008] A material cylinder is mounted above the base and connected to the base via a bracket; a material feeding disc is rotatably mounted on the base and located at the bottom end of the material cylinder.

[0009] A feeding pipe is located below the material cylinder, and a discharge port is provided at its bottom end;

[0010] An auger is installed inside the feed pipe, and a sun gear is installed at one end of the auger that passes through the feed plate;

[0011] A feeding plate is disposed on the feeding disk, and the feeding plate is radially distributed on the feeding disk;

[0012] A toothed ring is disposed on the bottom surface of the feeding disc;

[0013] An electric motor is installed inside the base. The output end of the motor passes through the base, and a drive gear is installed at the end of the motor's output end located on the outside of the base. The drive gear meshes with the gear ring and is used to drive the gear ring to rotate.

[0014] Planetary gears are mounted on the base and located within the gear ring. As the gear ring rotates, it drives the sun gear to rotate via the planetary gears, which in turn drive the feed disc to rotate via the drive gear, and simultaneously drive the auger to rotate. The rotational speed of the feed disc is greater than that of the auger.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0016] Furthermore, the bracket is a height-adjustable bracket, used to adjust the height of the material cylinder relative to the base.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0018] The height-adjustable support also facilitates equipment maintenance and cleaning for operators. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the material cylinder or check for blockages in the feed pipe, operators can lower the material cylinder to a suitable height for easier operation, reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance, and improving the efficiency and lifespan of the equipment.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the motor and is used to control the speed and rotation time of the motor.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0021] Livestock at different growth stages have varying feed requirements; for example, young animals need less feed, while adult animals require more. Furthermore, the amount of feed distributed needs to be adjusted according to different stocking densities or feeding management requirements. Through a controller electrically connected to the motor, operators can precisely set the motor's speed and rotation time. The motor speed affects the auger's conveying speed and the feed-distributing speed of the feed plate, while the rotation time determines the duration of feed distribution. This precise control allows for flexible adjustment of the feed distribution amount based on actual breeding needs, avoiding feed waste or insufficiency, improving breeding efficiency, and reducing breeding costs.

[0022] Furthermore, the planetary gears are mounted on the base via a planetary carrier.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0024] The planetary carrier provides stable support and positioning for the planetary gears, ensuring accurate and smooth operation during transmission. This mounting method makes the planetary gear transmission system more compact, reduces backlash and wobble between transmission components, and improves transmission stability and reliability. During the operation of the spreader, it ensures continuous and accurate power transmission, avoiding uneven spreading or equipment failure caused by transmission instability, and extending the service life of the spreader.

[0025] Furthermore, the drive gear, the ring gear, and the planetary gears constitute a planetary gear transmission system, and the planetary gears mesh with the sun gear.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0027] Planetary gear transmission systems offer advantages such as compact structure, large transmission ratio, and high efficiency. In this invention, the drive gear drives the gear ring to rotate, and the gear ring, in turn, drives the sun gear through planetary gears, achieving efficient power transmission from the motor. This transmission method can achieve a large transmission ratio within a limited space, allowing the motor to drive the feed disc and auger at a suitable speed, meeting the operational requirements of the spreader. Simultaneously, the efficient transmission reduces energy loss, improves the energy utilization efficiency of the spreader, and lowers operating costs.

[0028] Furthermore, the motor is an adjustable speed motor, and the speed is controlled by a frequency converter to adjust the amount of material to be spread.

[0029] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0030] The adjustable-speed motor combined with frequency converter control provides great flexibility in adjusting the feed distribution. In actual farming, farmers can precisely adjust the motor speed using the frequency converter based on factors such as livestock breed, growth stage, stocking density, and feed type. Changes in motor speed directly affect the conveying speed of the auger and the distributing speed of the feed tray, thus achieving precise control over the feed distribution. This adjustment method is not only simple to operate but also responsive, quickly adapting to different farming scenarios and changing needs, ensuring the accuracy and rationality of feed delivery, and contributing to improved livestock growth performance and farming efficiency.

[0031] This utility model provides a multi-angle feed spreader for livestock farming. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] The motor drives the feed-distributing disc and the auger to rotate simultaneously, with the feed-distributing disc rotating faster than the auger. After the auger discharges the feed from the outlet, the feed-distributing disc, with its radially distributed feed plates, rotates rapidly, scattering the feed in multiple directions at multiple angles. This design avoids the problem of traditional feed spreaders that only distribute feed in one direction, allowing the feed to be more evenly distributed within the breeding area, ensuring that each animal receives an appropriate amount of feed, which is beneficial for the balanced growth of the livestock.

[0033] The motor is a speed-adjustable motor, with its speed controlled by a frequency converter. The controller is electrically connected to the motor, allowing operators to precisely control the motor's speed and rotation time according to actual livestock needs. Different motor speeds will correspondingly change the conveying speed of the auger and the spreading speed of the feed tray, thus achieving precise adjustment of the feed distribution. For example, when livestock have different feed requirements at different growth stages, the feed distribution can be flexibly adjusted to avoid feed waste or shortage.

[0034] The system employs a planetary gear transmission system, consisting of a drive gear, a gear ring, and planetary gears. The motor drives the gear ring to rotate via the drive gear, and the gear ring then drives the sun gear via the planetary gears, which in turn drives the auger. This transmission method fully utilizes the compact structure, large transmission ratio, and high efficiency of planetary gear transmissions, achieving efficient power transfer from the motor to the feed disc and auger within a limited space, reducing energy loss and improving the overall performance of the feeder.

[0043] 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.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0045] Example 1

[0046] A multi-angle livestock feed spreader, comprising:

[0047] Base 4, with a support 3 on the outer side of base 4;

[0048] The feed cylinder 2 is mounted above the base 4 and connected to the base 4 via a bracket 3. This mounting method of the feed cylinder 2, combined with the height-adjustable bracket 3, makes the entire feed spreader structure more flexible. When adding feed, the operator can choose a suitable feeding method based on the height of the feed cylinder 2, such as using a small conveyor or adding feed manually, improving the convenience of feeding. Moreover, a reasonable height setting of the feed cylinder 2 helps the feed fall naturally within the feed cylinder 2, reducing feed residue and avoiding feed waste.

[0049] The feeding disc 1 is rotatably mounted on the base 4 and located at the bottom end of the feed cylinder 2. This design allows the feeding disc 1 to work stably. During the feeding process, the feeding disc 1 needs to withstand the impact of the feed and the rotational force of the feeding plate 101. The stable installation method ensures that the feeding disc 1 will not shake or deviate when rotating at high speed, thus ensuring the uniformity and accuracy of feeding.

[0050] The feed pipe 201 is located below the feed cylinder 2, with a discharge port 202 at its bottom end. This simple and effective structure allows feed to fall naturally from the feed cylinder 2 into the feed pipe 201 and then be discharged from the discharge port 202, resulting in a smooth and natural process. Furthermore, the well-designed discharge port 202 allows for control of the feed flow rate and direction, providing a good foundation for the subsequent multi-angle feeding by the feed dispensing disc 1.

[0051] The auger 203 is installed inside the feed pipe 201, and a sun gear 204 is installed at one end of the auger 203 that passes through the feed pan 1. The auger 203 is connected to the planetary gear transmission system via the sun gear 204, achieving efficient drive of the auger 203. The auger 203 can evenly and stably convey the feed falling into the feed pipe 201 from the feed cylinder 2 downwards, preventing feed blockage within the feed pipe 201. Simultaneously, the conveying speed of the auger 203 can be adjusted by the rotational speed of the motor 403, thereby achieving precise control of the feed distribution to meet different aquaculture needs.

[0052] A feed-distributing plate 101 is mounted on the feed-distributing disk 1, and the feed-distributing plate 101 is radially distributed on the feed-distributing disk 1. This radial distribution of the feed-distributing plate 101 has unique advantages. When the feed-distributing disk 1 rotates, the radially distributed feed-distributing plate 101 can scatter the feed discharged from the discharge port 202 at multiple angles in all directions, greatly increasing the coverage area of ​​the feed. Moreover, the shape and angle of the feed-distributing plate 101 are carefully designed to ensure the uniformity of feed distribution, so that every animal in the breeding area can obtain an appropriate amount of feed.

[0053] A gear ring 102 is disposed on the bottom surface of the material feeding disc 1. The gear ring 102, in conjunction with the drive gear 402 and the planetary gear 401, drives the material feeding disc 1. This transmission method features a compact structure and high transmission efficiency, ensuring stable and rapid rotation of the material feeding disc 1 under the drive of the motor 403. Furthermore, the material and machining precision of the gear ring 102 are strictly controlled, ensuring the reliability and durability of the transmission and reducing equipment failures.

[0054] Motor 403 is installed inside base 4. The output end of motor 403 passes through base 4, and a drive gear 402 is installed at the outer end of the output end of motor 403. The drive gear 402 meshes with the gear ring 102 to drive the gear ring 102 to rotate. This design, with motor 403 installed inside base 4, saves space and makes the overall structure of the spreader more compact. Motor 403, as the power source, transmits power to the feeding disc 1 through the meshing of the drive gear 402 and the gear ring 102. Furthermore, motor 403 is a speed-adjustable motor, with its speed controlled by a frequency converter. Operators can precisely adjust the speed of motor 403 according to actual breeding needs, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the feeding disc 1 and the auger 203, achieving flexible adjustment of the spreading amount and speed, and improving the adaptability and practicality of the spreader.

[0055] Planetary gear 401, mounted on base 4 and located within gear ring 102, drives sun gear 204 to rotate via planetary gear 401 while rotating. This, in turn, drives the feed-distributing disc 1 and auger 203 via drive gear 402, with the feed-distributing disc 1 rotating at a higher speed than the auger 203. Planetary gear 401, mounted on base 4 via planetary carrier and located within gear ring 102, together with gear ring 102 and sun gear 204, forms a planetary gear transmission system. This transmission system offers numerous advantages. Its compact structure allows for a large transmission ratio within a limited space, enabling motor 403 to drive feed-distributing disc 1 and auger 203 at appropriate speeds. Furthermore, the planetary gear transmission system provides smooth and efficient transmission, reducing energy loss and improving the energy efficiency of the spreader. Moreover, the design that the feed-distributing disc 1 rotates at a higher speed than the auger 203 ensures that feed is quickly and multi-angled after exiting discharge port 202, further improving the uniformity and coverage of the feed.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] To meet the diverse height requirements of feed spreaders in different farming scenarios and ensure that the spreading process is efficient and precise, for example, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model also includes:

[0058] The support 3 is an adjustable-height support used to adjust the height of the material cylinder 2 relative to the base 4. The adjustable-height support 3 also facilitates equipment maintenance and cleaning by the operator. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the material cylinder 2 or check whether the feed pipe 201 is blocked, the operator can lower the material cylinder 2 to a suitable height, making operation more convenient, reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance, and improving the efficiency and lifespan of the equipment.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] To improve the precision, flexibility, and intelligence of feed dispensing in livestock farming, and to better adapt to different farming scenarios and livestock needs, for example, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model also includes:

[0061] The system also includes a controller, electrically connected to motor 403, used to control the speed and duration of motor 403's rotation. During the rearing process, livestock at different growth stages have significantly different feed requirements. For example, young livestock are in a rapid growth and development period but have a relatively small appetite, requiring frequent small feedings; while adult livestock grow at a slower rate but have a larger appetite, requiring more feed to meet their energy needs. Through the controller's electrical connection to motor 403, operators can precisely set the speed and duration of motor 403 based on the livestock's growth stage, breed, and stocking density. The speed of motor 403 affects the conveying speed of auger 203 and the spreading speed of feed tray 1, while the rotation time determines the duration of spreading, thus achieving precise adjustment of the spreading amount, avoiding feed waste or insufficiency, improving rearing efficiency, and reducing rearing costs. Furthermore, the controller can be integrated with the farm's intelligent management system to achieve remote control and automated operation. Farmers can remotely monitor and control the feed spreader's operation without being physically present, using computers or mobile phones. The spreader automatically adjusts the amount and timing of feed according to preset programs, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving the intelligence level of farm management. Motor 403 is a speed-adjustable motor, with its speed controlled by a frequency converter to adjust the feed spread. The combination of the speed-adjustable motor 403 and the frequency converter provides great flexibility in adjusting the feed spread. The frequency converter can quickly and accurately adjust the speed of motor 403 with a short response time, adapting promptly to changes in farm needs. When the number of livestock increases or decreases, or when different types of feed need to be changed, operators can quickly adjust the speed of motor 403 via the frequency converter to change the feed spread, ensuring the accuracy and rationality of feed delivery. Planetary gears 401 are mounted on base 4 via planetary carriers. The planetary carriers provide stable support and positioning for planetary gears 401, ensuring accurate and stable operation during transmission. This installation method makes the planetary gear transmission system more compact, reduces the gaps and wobble between transmission components, and improves the stability and reliability of the transmission. During the operation of the spreader, it ensures the continuity and accuracy of power transmission, avoiding uneven spreading or equipment failure caused by unstable transmission, and extending the service life of the spreader. The drive gear 402, gear ring 102, and planetary gears 401 constitute the planetary gear transmission system, with planetary gears 401 meshing with the sun gear 204. The drive gear 402 drives the gear ring 102 to rotate, and the gear ring 102 then drives the sun gear 204 to rotate through the planetary gears 401, achieving efficient power transmission from the motor 403. This transmission method can achieve a large transmission ratio within a limited space, allowing the motor 403 to drive the material feeding disc 1 and the auger 203 at a suitable speed to meet the working requirements of the spreader. At the same time, the efficient transmission reduces energy loss, improves the energy utilization efficiency of the spreader, and lowers operating costs.

[0062] Working principle:

[0063] Adjust the height-adjustable bracket to position the material cylinder at the appropriate height relative to the base for subsequent material dispensing operations.

[0064] The operator starts the motor installed inside the base via the controller. Since the motor is speed-adjustable, its speed can be controlled via a frequency converter, thereby adjusting the amount of material dispensed. After the motor starts, its output end begins to rotate.

[0065] The motor output passes through the base, and a drive gear is installed at the outer end of the base. The drive gear meshes with a gear ring located on the bottom surface of the feeding disc. The rotation of the motor drives the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring to rotate, thus causing the feeding disc to rotate. The feeding disc has radially distributed feeding plates. When the feeding disc rotates, the feeding plates also rotate, initiating the initial feeding and conveying of the feed.

[0066] As the gear ring rotates, the planetary gears, mounted on the base via planetary carriers and located within the gear ring, drive the sun gear to rotate via the planetary gears. The auger is installed inside the feed pipe, with a sun gear mounted at one end of the auger that passes through the feed pan; the rotation of the sun gear drives the auger to rotate. When the auger rotates, it conveys the feed falling into the feed pipe from the feed cylinder downwards, and the feed is discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the feed pipe.

[0067] During continuous motor operation, the feed dispensing disc and auger rotate simultaneously, with the dispensing disc rotating at a higher speed than the auger. The rapid rotation of the dispensing disc throws the feed discharged from the outlet outwards at multiple angles, achieving multi-angle feed distribution for livestock farming.

[0068] Throughout the feeding process, the controller is electrically connected to the motor. The operator can control the motor's speed and rotation time through the controller, adjusting the feeding amount and duration according to actual breeding needs. Once the set feeding amount or time is reached, the operator stops the motor via the controller, ending the feeding process.
