Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an automatic timed feeding device, belonging to the field of feeding technology. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture settings, storage containers are often used to store feed such as corn for sheep. Their main function is to store feed in a centralized manner, reducing the risk of feed getting damp or contaminated, while also making it convenient to access at any time.

[0003] However, most current feeding devices rely on manual feeding to feed sheep. This manual feeding mode makes it difficult to automate timed feeding, which increases labor costs and labor intensity. Farmers need to feed the sheep at regular intervals, which is especially time-consuming and labor-intensive in large-scale farming. In addition, manual operation is greatly affected by human factors. If the farmer is negligent or leaves his post temporarily, the feeding will be interrupted, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the sheep.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes an automatic timed feeding device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic timed feeding device. The device comprises a storage bin, an electric feed-discharging disc, and a touch-sensitive timer. Corn is stored in the storage bin, and farmers use the touch-sensitive timer to set the start time for the feed-discharging disc. At the designated time, the disc automatically starts and discharging the corn to complete the feeding. This design can replace manual feeding, reducing costs and labor intensity, avoiding feeding delays caused by human error, and making feeding more stable and controllable. It solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] An automatic timed feeding device includes: a storage tank, an electric material throwing disc installed below the storage tank, and a touch-sensitive timer installed on one side of the electric material throwing disc. The touch-sensitive timer is used to start the electric material throwing disc at regular intervals to achieve timed material throwing.

[0007] The storage tank is equipped with a spiral blade, and a rotating shaft is installed inside the spiral blade. A drive structure is provided above the rotating shaft. The drive structure causes the spiral blade to rotate and spirally convey the material at the bottom of the storage tank upward, so as to loosen the accumulated material and make it easier to unload.

[0008] The drive structure is equipped with a conical baffle above it, which can block the input material from entering the transmission gap of the drive structure.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the storage tank is internally connected to the electric material-slinging tray, and the touch-sensitive timer is electrically connected to the electric material-slinging tray.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing ring is installed on the outside of the storage tank, and a vertical frame is installed above the fixing ring, with two sets of hooks installed above the vertical frame.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the storage tank is threaded with a lid, and the outer side of the lid is provided with multiple sets of vertical strips.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the drive structure includes a worm gear disposed below the baffle, the worm gear being connected to the top of the rotating shaft, and a worm being meshed with one side of the worm gear.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a transmission rod is installed inside the worm gear, a drive motor is installed on one side of the storage tank, and the drive motor is connected to one end of the transmission rod, while the other end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage tank. The touch-sensitive timer is electrically connected to the drive motor.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a bearing housing is provided below the worm gear, and a closed bearing is installed inside the bearing housing. The upper end of the rotating shaft is connected to the inner side of the closed bearing, and the bearing housing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank through side connecting rods on all four sides.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the baffle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank by connecting rods on all four sides.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By designing a storage tank, an electric feeding tray, and a touch-sensitive timer, corn feed is pre-stored in the storage tank. Farmers set the start time of the electric feeding tray using the touch-sensitive timer. After the set time, the electric feeding tray automatically starts and evenly throws out the corn from the storage tank to complete the feeding operation. This design can not only replace frequent manual feeding with a timed mechanism, significantly reducing labor costs and labor intensity, but also avoid feeding delays caused by human negligence, making the feeding process more stable and controllable.

[0018] 2. By designing the drive structure, spiral blades, and rotating shaft, while the electric feeding disc is working, the drive structure drives the spiral blades to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft. The rotation of the spiral blades helps to spiral the feed at the bottom of the storage tank upwards. This process can effectively loosen the accumulated material, allowing the feed to smoothly enter the feeding stage and avoid feeding difficulties or interruptions caused by the accumulation of material at the bottom, making the entire feeding process more stable and efficient.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, an automatic timed feeding device includes: a storage tank 1, an electric feeding disc 2 installed below the storage tank 1, and a touch-sensitive timer 3 installed on one side of the electric feeding disc 2. The touch-sensitive timer 3 enables the electric feeding disc 2 to start at regular intervals to achieve timed feeding. The storage tank 1 is used to store corn feed; the electric feeding disc 2 is responsible for throwing the feed out to complete the feeding; the touch-sensitive timer 3 enables the electric feeding disc 2 to start at regular intervals to achieve timed feeding.

[0027] The storage tank 1 is equipped with a spiral blade 4, and a rotating shaft 9 is installed inside the spiral blade 4. A drive structure is provided above the rotating shaft 9. When the spiral blade 4 rotates, it conveys the material accumulated at the bottom of the storage tank 1 upward, loosening the material for discharge.

[0028] A conical baffle 10 is provided above the drive structure. The conical structure uses the inclination angle of the conical surface to allow the material falling on it to slide down the conical surface, avoiding the accumulation of material on the baffle 10. At the same time, it shields the drive structure to prevent feed from entering the transmission gap and causing transmission obstruction.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3As shown, the storage tank 1 is internally connected to the electric feeding disc 2, and the touch-sensitive timer 3 is electrically connected to the electric feeding disc 2. The internal connection between the storage tank 1 and the electric feeding disc 2 ensures that the feed in the storage tank 1 can smoothly enter the electric feeding disc 2. The touch-sensitive timer 3 is electrically connected to the electric feeding disc 2, so that the touch-sensitive timer 3 can control the timed start and stop of the electric feeding disc 2.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, a fixing ring 5 is installed on the outside of the storage tank 1, and a vertical frame 6 is installed above the fixing ring 5. Two sets of hooks 8 are installed above the vertical frame 6. The hooks 8 make it easy to suspend the entire device in a suitable position, which facilitates the throwing of materials from a height.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, the top of the storage bucket 1 is threadedly connected to a bucket lid 7, and the outer side of the bucket lid 7 is provided with multiple sets of vertical strips. The multiple sets of vertical strips on the outer side of the bucket lid 7 increase the friction between the hand and the bucket lid 7, making it easier to open and close the bucket lid 7.

[0032] Please see Figures 3-4 As shown, the drive structure includes a worm gear 11 located below the baffle 10. The worm gear 11 is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 9. A worm 12 is meshed with one side of the worm gear 11. When the worm 12 rotates, it can drive the worm gear 11 to rotate, thereby transmitting power to the rotating shaft 9 and driving the rotating shaft 9 to rotate.

[0033] Please see Figures 2-4 As shown, a transmission rod 15 is installed inside the worm gear 12, and a drive motor 17 is installed on one side of the storage tank 1. The drive motor 17 is connected to one end of the transmission rod 15, and the other end of the transmission rod 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. The touch-sensitive timer 3 is electrically connected to the drive motor 17. The drive motor 17 can drive the worm gear 12 to rotate through the transmission rod 15, and the touch-sensitive timer 3 can control the timed start and stop of the drive motor 17.

[0034] Please see Figures 3-5 As shown, a bearing housing 13 is provided below the worm gear 11, and a closed bearing 16 is installed inside the bearing housing 13. The upper end of the rotating shaft 9 is connected to the inner side of the closed bearing 16. The bearing housing 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 1 by side connecting rods 14 on all four sides. The closed bearing 16 reduces the friction when the rotating shaft 9 rotates, ensuring that the rotating shaft 9 rotates flexibly. The connection between the upper end of the rotating shaft 9 and the inner side of the closed bearing 16 provides stable support for the rotating shaft 9. The side connecting rods 14 fix the bearing housing 13 to the inner wall of the storage tank 1, ensuring the installation stability of the bearing housing 13.

[0035] Please see Figures 3-4 As shown, the baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 1 by connecting rods on all four sides.

[0036] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] First, the corn feed is loaded into the storage bin 1. The baffle 10 is designed to prevent the feed from entering the transmission gap between the worm gear 12 and the worm wheel 11. The top of the bin has a lid 7 with vertical bars that is connected by threads to seal the storage bin 1, which not only ensures a stable feed storage environment but also facilitates opening and closing. The design of the hook 8 makes it easy to hang the storage bin 1 at a high place, thus facilitating the throwing of feed from a high place.

[0038] The start time of the electric feeding disc 2 and the drive motor 17 can be set via the touch-sensitive timer 3. When the set time is reached, the electric feeding disc 2 starts automatically, and the drive motor 17 runs synchronously. The drive motor 17 drives the transmission rod 15 to rotate, and the transmission rod 15 drives the worm gear 12 to rotate. The worm gear 12 drives the worm wheel 11 to rotate through meshing. The rotating shaft 9 connected to the worm wheel 11 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the spiral blade 4 inside the storage tank 1 to rotate. During the rotation of the spiral blade 4, an upward spiral conveying force is formed on the feed accumulated at the bottom of the storage tank 1, which loosens the material and ensures smooth feeding. The corn released from the storage tank 1 is thrown outward by the electric feeding disc 2, realizing timed feeding.
