Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock feeding machine technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional aquaculture feeding equipment generally suffers from problems such as limited feeding range, susceptibility to clogging, and insufficient mobility. In existing equipment, feed tends to accumulate and clump in the storage bin, leading to poor feeding; the feeding channels are mostly unidirectional, resulting in a small spreading coverage area; and movement relies heavily on manual handling or simple rollers, making precise trajectory control difficult. Furthermore, feed residue tends to accumulate at the discharge port, affecting the uniformity of feeding. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an automatic feeding machine with a simple structure that effectively improves feeding efficiency.

[0004] The main contents of this utility model include: a base unit, which includes a base plate and a support frame disposed above the base plate, the two enclosing each other to form a device cavity;

[0005] A storage unit is located on top of the base unit and includes a storage bin. The bottom of the storage bin is connected to an inverted conical guide section, and the bottom of the guide section is provided with a discharge port.

[0006] The feeding execution unit is located inside the equipment cavity. It includes an A-shaped feeding machine body. The feeding machine body has two sets of symmetrically distributed herringbone guiding channels. The tops of the two guiding channels meet to form an inlet. The inlet is connected to the outlet of the guiding part.

[0007] A rotary feeding mechanism includes a transmission rod that vertically passes through the feed inlet, a feeding screw connected to the upper end of the transmission rod, and a rotary motor that drives the transmission rod to rotate. The feeding screw extends upward into the discharge port of the guide section, and the outer circumferential thread of the feeding screw forms a feed conveying gap with the inner wall of the discharge port.

[0008] An air blowing mechanism includes an air blowing channel horizontally disposed at the discharge end of each material guiding channel and a blower connected to the air blowing channel. The air outlet end of the air blowing channel is connected to the material guiding channel and points in the outlet direction.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes a moving mechanism, which includes two sets of roller assemblies spaced apart at the bottom of the base plate along a second direction. Each set of roller assemblies includes two rollers arranged along a first direction and a connecting rod connecting the rollers. At least one set of roller assemblies is connected to a rotary drive.

[0010] Preferably, the roller has a portion protruding from the lower surface of the base plate and rolls in cooperation with the external track.

[0011] Preferably, the rotary drive component includes a servo motor, a drive gear, and a driven gear. The driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the circumferential direction of the connecting rod. The drive gear is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor and meshes with the driven gear.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a power supply unit, which includes a power supply built into the device cavity and a charging plug located on the front side of the support frame, the charging plug being used to connect to an external charging port.

[0014] Preferably, the discharge port of the storage silo is located on the top or side wall.

[0015] Preferably, handles are provided on opposite sides of the upper part of the support frame.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by using the inverted conical guide part in conjunction with the rotary feeding mechanism, the external thread of the feeding screw is used to break up the clumps of feed, so as to achieve continuous and stable feeding; by using the herringbone symmetrical guide channel, the feed can be discharged in a bidirectional flow, which significantly expands the feeding area and improves the feed feeding efficiency; by using the air blowing structure to apply directional airflow at the discharge port, it helps to push the feed to a farther area and prevents residual feed from accumulating at the discharge port.

[0028] The technical solution protected by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes an automatic feeder, which includes a base unit 1, a storage unit 2, and a feeding execution unit 3. The base unit 1 includes a base plate 11 and a support frame 12 disposed above the base plate 11. The base plate 11 and the support frame 12 enclose a device cavity. The feeding execution unit 3 is disposed within the device cavity. The storage unit 2 is disposed on top of the base unit 1 and is interconnected with the feeding execution unit 3. The storage unit 2 supplies feed, which is then delivered by the feeding execution unit 3.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the storage unit 2 includes a storage bin 21 and an inverted conical guide section 22 located at the bottom of the storage bin 21. The storage bin 21 and the guide section 22 are interconnected, and the bottom of the guide section 22 is provided with a discharge port. The guide section 22 is designed in an inverted conical shape so that the feed flows automatically to the discharge port under the action of gravity, avoiding the accumulation of feed in the storage bin 21.

[0031] Preferably, the discharge port of the storage silo 21 can be opened on the top or side wall, which can be adapted to meet the material replenishment needs of different sites.

[0032] Preferably, handles 13 are provided on opposite sides of the upper part of the support frame 12 to assist operators in lifting the feeding machine for easy relocation. In other embodiments, the handles may be provided on opposite side walls of the support frame.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the feeding execution unit 3 includes an A-shaped feeding body 31. The feeding body 31 has two sets of symmetrically distributed herringbone-shaped guide channels 32. The tops of the two guide channels 32 converge to form an inlet, which is connected to the outlet of the guide section 22. The feed in the storage bin 21 flows through the outlet and is diverted into the guide channels 32 on both sides to reduce the risk of blockage. Furthermore, the herringbone-shaped channels enable bidirectional feeding, expanding the feeding coverage area and effectively improving feeding efficiency.

[0034] like Figure 1-2As shown, the application also includes a rotary feeding mechanism 4, which includes a transmission rod 41 vertically penetrating the feed inlet, a feeding screw 42 connected to the upper end of the transmission rod 41, and a rotary motor 43 driving the transmission rod 41 to rotate. The feeding screw 42 extends upward into the discharge port of the guide section 22, and the outer circumferential thread of the feeding screw 42 forms a feed conveying gap with the inner wall of the discharge port. The rotary motor 43 drives the transmission rod 41 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding screw 42 to rotate synchronously. The feed is conveyed from the feed conveying gap into the guide channels 32 on both sides. Through the thread action of the feeding screw 42, the compressed and clumped feed can be broken up and conveyed, preventing lumpy feed from clogging the channels and achieving continuous and stable feed feeding.

[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the lower part of the feeding execution unit 3 is also equipped with an air blowing mechanism 5. The air blowing mechanism 5 includes an air blowing channel 51 horizontally arranged at the discharge end of each guide channel 32 and a blower 52 connected to the air blowing channel 51. The air outlet of the air blowing channel 51 is connected to the guide channel 32 and points towards the discharge port. When the feed falls from the guide channel 32 to the position where the air blowing channel 51 is connected to the guide channel 32, the blower 52 blows air to assist the feed to be sprayed out from the discharge port, increasing its feeding range and allowing the feed to fall to a farther position, effectively expanding the feed spreading coverage radius. In addition, the airflow can help remove residual feed at the discharge port and prevent feed residue from accumulating.

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, a moving mechanism 6 is further configured on the base unit 1. The moving mechanism 6 includes two sets of roller assemblies spaced apart at the bottom of the base plate 11 along a second direction. Each set of roller assemblies includes two rollers 61 arranged along a first direction and a connecting rod 62 connecting the rollers 61. At least one set of roller assemblies is connected to a rotary drive member 63. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Part of the rollers 61 protrudes from the lower surface of the base plate 11 and rolls in contact with an external track. The rotary drive member 63 drives one set of roller assemblies to rotate, thereby moving the feeder along the track, effectively improving the movement stability of the feeder and ensuring that it feeds materials according to the target trajectory.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the two sets of material guiding channels 32 are symmetrically distributed in a herringbone shape along the first direction to expand the material spreading range during the movement process.

[0038] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the rotary drive component 63 includes a servo motor, a drive gear, and a driven gear. The driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the circumferential direction of the connecting rod. The drive gear is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor and meshes with the driven gear. The servo motor drives the drive gear to rotate, thereby causing the driven gear to rotate, which in turn drives the roller assembly to rotate.

[0039] like Figure 1-3As shown, the device further includes a power supply unit, which comprises a power supply 71 built into the device cavity and a charging plug 72 located on the front side of the support frame 12. The charging plug 72 is used to connect to an external charging port, and the power supply 71 supplies power to the rotary motor 43 and the servo motor inside the device cavity. The power supply 71 is built into the device cavity to enable the feeder to move and feed materials in multiple positions and to avoid tangling of external wiring.

[0040] Workflow:

[0041] Feed falls from storage bin 21 through guide section 22; feed screw 42 rotates to push and divert feed through feed conveying gap to guide channels 32 on both sides; blower 52 generates airflow to blow feed out from the outlet of guide channel 32; moving mechanism 6 drives feeder to move along track to achieve area coverage feeding.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
