They are characterized by their plump bodies, rapid weight gain, high feed utilization, good meat production performance, and good meat quality and taste. Beef cattle not only provide meat products for people but also other by-products. When raising beef cattle, it is necessary to feed them regularly.

[0003] In the prior art, patent publication number CN202020931905.1 discloses a feeding device for livestock farming, including a feed guide box with support frames at both ends of the bottom; a load-bearing rod is fixed between the opposite surfaces of the two support frames; a shaft is arranged in an array on one side of the load-bearing rod; a feed trough is rotatably connected to the load-bearing rod through the shaft; a torsion spring is sleeved on the periphery of the shaft; a bidirectional feed roller is rotatably connected between the two ends inside the feed guide box; a discharge port is arranged in an array on one side of the bottom of the feed guide box; a feed inlet is provided at the top of the feed guide box; and a sealing cover is rotatably connected to one side of the feed inlet.

[0004] The above-mentioned feeding device has some minor problems in actual use. For example, when the feeding device starts working, although the cattle feed can be discharged into different feed troughs, the amount of cattle feed in the two feed troughs in the middle is greater than that in the two feed troughs on the sides. The level of intelligence is not high. Therefore, we propose an automatic feeding device for beef cattle breeding in animal husbandry. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5This embodiment provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for cattle breeding in animal husbandry, including a support 1, a U-shaped feeding cylinder 2 inside the support 1, and uniformly distributed guide hoppers 3 on the lower and upper sides of the outer arc face of the U-shaped feeding cylinder 2.

The input end of the controller 8 is electrically connected to an external power source. A feeding hopper 7 is provided on the right side of the upper surface of the U-shaped feeding cylinder 2.

[0025] Material conveying mechanism 4: Located inside the U-shaped material conveying cylinder 2, the material conveying mechanism 4 includes a turntable 41, a spiral blade 42, a first rotating shaft 43, a support rotating shaft 44, and a material conveying motor 45. The support rotating shaft 44 is fixedly connected to the middle of the left side wall and the middle of the right side wall of the U-shaped material conveying cylinder 2, respectively. The inner ring surfaces of the two support rotating shafts 44 are respectively fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 43. The turntable 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the two first rotating shafts 43 facing the center of the U-shaped material conveying cylinder 2, and the spiral blade 42 is fixedly connected between the two turntables 41. The material conveying motor 45 is located on the right side of the U-shaped material conveying cylinder 2. The output shaft is fixedly connected to the right end of the first rotating shaft 43 on the right side. The input end of the feeding motor 45 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 8. When the automatic feeding device is needed, an external elevator can be used to put the cattle feed into the inside of the hopper 7. Then the cattle feed falls into the inside right side of the U-shaped feeding cylinder 2. Then the controller 8 can be adjusted to make the feeding motor 45 run. The output shaft of the feeding motor 45 rotates, which drives the first rotating shaft 43 on the right side to rotate. Then the turntable 41 drives the spiral blade 42 to rotate and pushes the cattle feed to the left at the bottom of the U-shaped feeding cylinder 2.

[0026] The material distribution mechanism 5 includes an arc-shaped material outlet 51, a support groove 52, a second rotating shaft 53, an arc-shaped sealing plate 54, a rotating frame 57, and an arc-shaped support frame 59. The arc-shaped material outlets 51 are evenly distributed on the lower arc surface of the U-shaped conveying cylinder 2. The rear side of the guide hopper 3 is provided with support grooves 52. The arc-shaped material outlets 51 and the support grooves 52 are vertically aligned. The left and right inner walls of the arc-shaped material outlets 51 are rotatably connected to the arc-shaped sealing plates 54 via the second rotating shaft 53. The rear side of the lower arc surface of the arc-shaped sealing plates 54 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 57. The interior of the rotating frame 57 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped support frame 59. The material distribution mechanism 5 includes an upper support plate 55 and a lower support plate 56. The upper support plate 55 is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower arc surface of the arc-shaped sealing plate 54. The front sidewalls of the support groove 52 are fixedly connected to the lower support plate 56, and the upper support plate 55 corresponds to the lower support plate 56 in a one-to-one vertical position (when the arc-shaped sealing plate 54 is in the open state, the lower support plate 56 supports the upper support plate 55). The material distribution mechanism 5 includes an opening and closing adjustment assembly 58, which includes a fixed frame 581, a slide 582, a lead screw 583, a slide block 584, and an opening and closing adjustment motor 585. The upper and lower surfaces of the slide block 584 are fixedly connected to corrugated sleeves. The upper end of the upper corrugated sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper sidewall of the slide 582 corresponding to the vertical position, and the lower end of the lower corrugated sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower sidewall of the slide 582 corresponding to the vertical position. The corrugated sleeves seal the exposed part of the lead screw 583. The slide block 584 moves up and down adaptively, and the fixed frame 581 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the U-shaped conveyor cylinder 2. A groove 582 is provided in the middle of the rear side of the fixed frame 581. A slide block 584 is slidably connected inside the groove 582. The interior of each slide block 584 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the arc-shaped support frame 59 corresponding to the longitudinal position. A lead screw 583 is rotatably connected inside each groove 582. The external thread of the lead screw 583 is threadedly connected to the middle of the slide block 584 located in the same groove 582. An opening and closing adjustment motor 585 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed frame 581. The output shaft of the opening and closing adjustment motor 585 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lead screw 583 corresponding to the vertical position. The input terminals of the electric motor 585 are electrically connected to the output terminals of the controller 8. Shearing blades 6 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper support plate 55, and shearing blades 6 are also provided on the front side wall of the arc-shaped feed inlet 51. At this time, the rightmost arc-shaped sealing plate 54 is in the open state. The cattle feed being conveyed to the left leaks out from the rightmost arc-shaped feed inlet 51, falls forward through the upper arc surface of the arc-shaped sealing plate 54, and enters the rightmost feed hopper 3. The cattle can then eat the feed inside the feed hopper 3. When the rightmost feed hopper 3 contains a specified amount of cattle feed, the controller 8 can be activated, and the rightmost opening / closing regulating motor 585 will operate. The output shaft of the opening / closing regulating motor 585 will rotate, thereby driving the rightmost lead screw 583 to rotate.This causes the rightmost slide block 584 to move downwards within the rightmost chute 582, which in turn causes the rightmost arc-shaped support frame 59 to push the rotating frame 57 downwards. This forces the rightmost arc-shaped sealing plate 54 to change its angle clockwise around the central axis of the rightmost second rotating shaft 53. During sealing, the rear cutting surface of the upper shear blade 6 contacts the front cutting surface of the lower shear blade 6, biting off the feed stuck in the gap. At this point, the rightmost arc-shaped feed outlet 51 is sealed, and the feed continues to be conveyed to the left, exiting from the second arc-shaped feed outlet 51. The above steps can then be repeated to quantitatively discharge the feed into each feed hopper 3, completing the automated feeding operation.

[0027] The working principle of the automatic feeding device for beef cattle breeding provided by this utility model is as follows: When the automatic feeding device is needed, an external elevator can be used to put the cattle feed into the inside of the hopper 7. Then the cattle feed falls into the right side of the U-shaped conveyor cylinder 2. Then the controller 8 can be adjusted to start the conveyor motor 45. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 45 rotates, which drives the first rotating shaft 43 on the right side to rotate. This, in turn, drives the spiral blade 42 to rotate through the turntable 41, pushing the cattle feed to the left at the bottom of the U-shaped conveyor cylinder 2. At this time, the rightmost arc-shaped sealing plate 54 is in the open state. The cattle feed conveyed to the left leaks out from the rightmost arc-shaped discharge port 51, falls forward through the upper arc surface of the arc-shaped sealing plate 54, and falls into the inside of the rightmost guide hopper 3. Then the beef cattle can eat the cattle feed inside the guide hopper 3. When the rightmost guide hopper 3 is filled with a specified amount of cattle feed, the controller 8 can be adjusted. When the controller 8 operates, the rightmost opening and closing adjustment motor 585 rotates, causing the output shaft of the motor 585 to rotate, which in turn drives the rightmost lead screw 583 to rotate, which in turn drives the rightmost slide block 584 to move downward in the rightmost slide groove 582, which in turn drives the rightmost arc-shaped support frame 59 to push the rotating frame 57 downward, forcing the rightmost arc-shaped sealing plate 54 to change clockwise around the central axis of the rightmost second rotating shaft 53, forcing the rightmost arc-shaped sealing plate 54 to seal the rightmost arc-shaped feed outlet 51. During the sealing, the rear cutting surface of the upper shearing blade 6 contacts the front cutting surface of the lower shearing blade 6, biting off the cattle feed stuck in the gap. At this time, the rightmost arc-shaped feed outlet 51 is sealed, and then the cattle feed continues to be conveyed to the left, and the cattle feed is discharged from the second arc-shaped feed outlet 51. Then the above steps can be repeated to quantitatively discharge the cattle feed into the interior of each feed hopper 3, completing the automated feeding operation.

[0028] It is worth noting that the core chip of the controller 8 is a single-chip microcomputer, specifically the S7-200. The conveying motor 45 and the opening and closing regulating motor 585 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. It is recommended that the conveying motor 45 be a YX3 series high-efficiency three-phase asynchronous conveyor motor, and the opening and closing regulating motor 585 be a 110BYG350D three-phase hybrid stepper motor. The controller 8 controls the operation of the conveying motor 45 and the opening and closing regulating motor 585 using methods commonly used in existing technologies.

[0029] 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 content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
