Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a forage cutting device for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as sheep, cattle, and deer, to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy through artificial breeding and raising. Animal husbandry requires pasture, which needs to be cut before feeding.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216415194U, which discloses a forage cutting device for livestock farming. This patent includes a support plate with two side plates fixedly mounted on its upper surface. A feed inlet is fixedly mounted on the right end of each side plate, and a discharge outlet is fixedly mounted on the left end. The device, comprising a motor, rotating shaft, cam, movable rod, and cutting blade, cuts the forage through the rotation of the cam, ensuring evenly spaced cuts. This facilitates better mixing of the forage with feed for livestock, improving digestion and feeding. However, this device only cuts bundles or piles of forage with the cutting blade, making it difficult to cut all the forage. Furthermore, due to the forage's inherent toughness, pressure is applied before cutting, causing the forage to clump together. Hard particles such as stones can also damage the cutting blade, increasing the cutting difficulty and affecting its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a forage cutting device for livestock farming in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] like Figure 1 — Figure 6As shown, a forage cutting device for livestock farming includes a base 101. Fixed plates 102 are bolted to both sides of the base 101. A mounting frame 103 is bolted to the fixed plates 102. A feeding mechanism is mounted on the base 101. A moving mechanism is mounted on the mounting frame 103. The moving mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw 301, which is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 103. Two symmetrically arranged moving plates 302 are threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw 301. Connecting plates 305 are bolted to the moving plates 302. Several partition plates 306 are bolted to opposite sides of the connecting plates 305. The partition plates 306 on the two connecting plates 305 are staggered. The mounting bracket 103 is equipped with a cutting mechanism, which includes an electric push rod 401. The output end of the electric push rod 401 is bolted to a mounting base 402. A cutting blade 404 is bolted to the mounting base 402. Two rows of parallel partition plates 306 are arranged on a movable plate 302. There is a gap between the two rows of partition plates 306. The cutting blade 404 is located directly above the gap between the two rows of partition plates 306. A guide rod 403 is bolted to the top of the mounting base 402. The guide rod 403 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 103. A striking assembly is installed on both sides of the mounting base 402. Several fixing blocks 308 are welded to the opposite side of the connecting plate 305.

[0028] In this embodiment, an opening 104 is provided on the base 101, and a collection box 105 is provided below the opening 104. The collection box 105 is placed at the bottom of the base 101, and a connecting plate 305 is provided between the feeding mechanism and the opening 104. After the hay is fed out from the feeding frame 201, it is cut at the position of the connecting plate 305 and then falls into the collection box 105 below the opening 104.

[0029] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame 201, on which a conveying assembly 202 is mounted. The conveying assembly 202 includes a set of conveying rollers and a conveyor belt. The conveying rollers are rotatably connected to the inside of the feeding frame 201, and the conveyor belt is sleeved on the conveying rollers. This is conventional prior art and will not be described in detail. A power assembly 203 for driving the conveying assembly 202 is provided on the feeding frame 201. The power assembly 203 is bolted to the side of the feeding frame 201, and the power output end of the power assembly 203 is connected to the conveying rollers.

[0030] In this embodiment, a guide rod 303 is slidably connected to the movable plate 302. The guide rod 303 is bolted to the inner side of the mounting bracket 103. A motor 304 is bolted to the side of the mounting bracket 103. The output end of the motor 304 is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 301 through a coupling.

[0031] In this embodiment, a bottom shovel 307 is bolted to the bottom of the connecting plate 305. The bottom shovel 307 can lift the grass from the bottom when the connecting plate 305 is close, which is beneficial for the complete cutting of the grass.

[0032] In this embodiment, the striking assembly includes a striking head 405, which is slidably connected to both sides of the mounting base 402. A spring 406 is installed between the striking head 405 and the mounting base 402. During the downward movement of the guide rod 403 and the cutting blade 404, the striking head 405 on the side of the guide rod 403 can impact the fixing block 308. The spring 406 cyclically extends and retracts, causing the connecting plate 305 and the partition plate 306 to vibrate, thereby increasing the looseness of the hay, which is beneficial for cutting the hay, and also allows hard particles in the hay to be discharged, avoiding damage to the cutting blade 404.

[0033] Working Principle: When using this device, the power assembly 203 is activated, driving the conveying assembly 202 to perform periodic intermittent movements. The operator feeds the hay to be cut into the feed end of the feed frame 201. The hay extends from the other end of the feed frame 201 after being conveyed by the conveying assembly 202. The motor 304 and the electric push rod 401 work in conjunction with the intermittent conveying of the power assembly 203. First, the motor 304 starts, driving the bidirectional lead screw 301 to rotate. The motor 304 drives two moving plates 302 to move closer together along the guide rod 303. The moving plates 302 drive the connecting plate 305, the partition plate 306, and the bottom shovel 307 to move closer together. The two sets of partition plates 306 insert into the hay and form an alternating arrangement. The bottom shovel 307 scoops up the hay from the bottom. Then, the electric push rod 401 is activated. The electric push rod 401 pushes the mounting base 402 to move downward along the axis of the guide rod 403. The mounting base 402 pushes the guide rod 403 downward to cut the hay inside the partition plate 306. During the downward movement of the guide rod 403 and the cutting blade 404, the striking head 405 on the side of the guide rod 403 can collide with the fixed block 308. The spring 406 cyclically extends and retracts, causing the connecting plate 305 and the partition plate 306 to vibrate, increasing the looseness of the hay, which is beneficial for cutting the hay. It can also discharge hard particles in the hay and avoid damaging the cutting blade 404. The cut hay falls into the collection box 105 through the opening 104 under the action of gravity. After cutting, the output shaft of the motor 304 rotates in the opposite direction, and the output end of the electric push rod 401 retracts. The hay cutting operation is carried out in this way.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
