Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cattle farms, specifically an automatic feed spreading device for cattle farms. Background Technology

[0002] Cattle feed is a key factor in ensuring healthy growth and improving production performance. Cattle at different growth stages and for different purposes (such as beef cattle and dairy cattle) have different feed requirements. Hay is a commonly used roughage for cattle, including alfalfa hay, sheep grass, and ryegrass hay. Alfalfa hay is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, with high nutritional value, making it suitable for calves and lactating dairy cows. Sheep grass and ryegrass hay have high fiber content, which aids digestion and is suitable for adult cattle. Licorice feed is also used; crushed licorice is used to feed cattle.

[0003] Existing cattle farms use fences to enclose the cattle, with feed troughs set up outside the fences. The cattle can reach the hay in the feed troughs through the gaps in the fences. When hay needs to be added to the feed troughs, workers first put the hay on one side and then shovel it into the feed troughs with a shovel. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the workload of the workers. Secondly, it is difficult to control the evenness of feed distribution when workers are feeding the cattle, resulting in some cattle receiving more feed than others, leading to an unbalanced overall feeding situation.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, an automatic feeding device for cattle farms is used to evenly distribute hay and feed into a feed trough 2 located below the outer side of a fence 1. The device includes: a support 3 located on one side of the feed trough 2, with a track 31 mounted on the top of the support 3; a feed box 4 located above the feed trough 2 for holding hay and feed, with a discharge port 41 at the lower end of the side wall of the feed box 4 near the feed trough 2; a traveling mechanism 5 located between the track 31 and the feed box 4, used to carry the feed box 4 along the length of the track 31 to distribute feed while the feed box 4 is traveling; and a quantitative feeding mechanism 6 installed between the feed box 4 and the traveling mechanism 5, used to coordinate with the traveling speed of the traveling mechanism 5 to achieve continuous quantitative feeding.

[0023] The traveling mechanism 5 includes a support plate 501. Two symmetrically distributed bearing seats 502 are installed at the bottom center of the support plate 501. A first traveling wheel 503 is rotatably connected to one side of the bearing seat 502 via a rotating shaft. A motor 504 is installed between the two bearing seats 502. The output end of the motor 504 is connected to one of the first traveling wheels 503 via a first synchronous belt pulley assembly 505. The first traveling wheel 503 is a double-sided track wheel, and the width of the first traveling wheel 503 is matched with that of the track 31.

[0024] The walking mechanism 5 also includes two support legs 506 symmetrically arranged at the bottom outer end of the pallet 501, and a second walking wheel 507 rotatably connected to the lower end of the support legs 506; the quantitative feeding mechanism 6 includes two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped plates 601 located inside the material box 4, and a shaft 602 is arranged between the two arc-shaped plates 601. The two ends of the shaft 602 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two ends of the material box 4 through bearings. Multiple partition plates 603 are equidistantly arranged around the circumference of the material box 4. The end of the partition plate 603 away from the shaft 602 is in contact with the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 601;

[0025] Two arc-shaped plates 601 are combined to form an annular structure with openings at the top and bottom. The inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 601 is a smooth surface. The quantitative feeding mechanism 6 also includes a second synchronous pulley assembly 604 between the shaft 602 and the output end of the motor 504, which is used to synchronously rotate the shaft 602 so that multiple second synchronous pulley assemblies 604 quantitatively guide the hay feed. The bottom of the feed box 4 is provided with a guide plate 42. The upper surface of the guide plate 42 is an inclined surface, and the discharge port 41 is located at the lower inclined end of the guide plate 42.

[0026] In this embodiment: by setting up the walking mechanism 5 and the quantitative feeding mechanism 6, the feed box 4 can be moved along the length of the track 31, thereby spreading the hay feed into the feed trough 2. This not only reduces the labor intensity of the workers, but also ensures the uniformity of automatic feeding. At the same time, it will not cause uneven feeding due to the speed of the feed box 4, thus ensuring that each cow can eat a near-quantitative amount of feed.

[0027] Specifically, the motor 504 first drives the first traveling wheel 503 to rotate and travel along the length of the track 31 until it reaches one end of the track 31. Then, the workers pour the bagged hay into the feed box 4. Next, the motor 504 drives the first traveling wheel 503 to travel along the length of the track 31 to the other end. During the travel, the output end of the motor 504 can synchronously drive the shaft 602 to rotate using the second synchronous belt pulley assembly 604. Rotating the shaft 602 will force multiple partition plates 603 to rotate between two arc plates 601. As a result, the hay feed fills the space between two adjacent partition plates 603 in sequence. Then, the hay feed is transported to the lower opening between the two arc plates 601 and flows out. The hay feed falls onto the inclined guide plate 42 and slides out towards the discharge port 41, and finally is evenly scattered into the feed trough 2.

[0028] It should be noted that this solution allows for stopping the machine midway to add hay and feed. Since the motor 504 stops driving, the partition plates 603, which are evenly distributed around the shaft 602, will also stop rotating. Consequently, the hay and feed will no longer be dispensed, thus preventing uneven feed distribution. The machine can be stopped and started at will without affecting the uniformity of hay and feed distribution. In addition, the motor used in this solution is a stepper motor, which can reasonably control the stroke of the feed box 4, thereby meeting the requirements for automated start and stop.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
