Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precision feeding, and in particular to a precision feeding device for individual duck cages. Background Technology
[0002] The duck feed dispensing device is an automated farming equipment designed to improve breeding efficiency and reduce manual labor. It delivers feed at set times and in measured quantities, ensuring ducks receive nutrition evenly and promoting healthy growth. Through intelligent control, it achieves precise feeding, reducing feed waste, and is an indispensable auxiliary tool for modern duck farms.
[0003] Existing duck feed feeding devices generally adopt a whole-group feeding method, which means that the feed is concentrated in a group of ducks. Although this method can efficiently cover a large number of ducks, it is difficult to achieve precise individual feeding. This may result in some ducks not getting enough feed on the day, while uniform feeding can easily lead to feed surplus, which not only wastes resources, but also makes the leftover feed easy to spoil, increasing the risk of ducks getting sick. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution: a precise feeding device for duck cages, comprising a feeding trough, multiple baffles inside the feeding trough, an automatic feeding trough fixedly installed on the side of the feeding trough, a discharge port inside the feeding trough, several mounting slots at the bottom of the feeding trough, a fixed column fixedly installed inside the mounting slot, a spring surrounding the fixed column, a movable ring at the upper end of the spring, the movable ring surrounding the fixed column, a sleeve at the lower end of the movable ring for housing the spring and the fixed column, a receiving plate inside the feeding trough, the receiving plate connected to the movable ring on both sides, a side plate fixedly installed on one side of the sleeve at the lower end of the movable ring, a toothed surface on one side of the side plate, a gear one rotatably mounted on one side of the side plate, a gear two rotatably mounted diagonally above the gear one, a toothed plate on one side of the gear two, a feeding trough at the top of the toothed plate, a movable plate inside the feeding trough, and the bottom of the movable plate connected to the top of the toothed plate.
[0005] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the locking teeth mesh with gear one, gear one meshes with gear two, and gear two meshes with the gear plate.
[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the height of the mounting groove is greater than the height of the sleeve set at the lower end of the moving ring, and the height of the sleeve is consistent with that of the side plate.
[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the maximum movement range of the toothed plate is consistent with the height of the discharge port.
[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, an automatic door is provided inside the discharge port.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The sleeve design at the lower end of the moving ring enhances the stability of the structure. Through the meshing transmission of gear one and gear two, and the interaction between gear two and the toothed plate, precise control of the moving plate in the feeding trough is achieved. When the weight of the feed on the receiving plate changes, it drives the moving plate to move, causing the internal space of the feeding trough to change. This allows the amount of feed to be fed to each duck to be automatically adjusted according to the duck's consumption the previous day, saving feed waste and ensuring the freshness of the feed.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0013] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a precise feeding device for duck cages, including a feeding trough 10, with multiple baffles 11 inside the feeding trough 10, an automatic feeding trough 12 fixedly installed on the side of the feeding trough 10, a discharge port 13 inside the feeding trough 10, and several mounting slots 21 at the bottom inside the feeding trough 10. A fixing post 20 is fixedly installed inside the mounting slot 21, and a spring 22 is arranged around the fixing post 20. A movable ring 23 is arranged at the upper end of the spring 22, and the movable ring 23 is arranged around the fixing post 20. The lower end of the movable ring 23 is provided with a mechanism to connect the spring 22 to the fixing post 20. The fixed column 20 is fitted inside the sleeve. The feeding trough 10 is provided with a receiving plate 24. The receiving plate 24 is connected to the moving ring 23 on both sides. The sleeve at the lower end of the moving ring 23 is fixedly provided with a side plate 25. A tooth 26 is provided on one side surface of the side plate 25. A gear 27 is rotatably installed on one side of the side plate 25. A gear 28 is rotatably installed diagonally above the gear 27. A toothed plate 29 is provided on one side of the gear 28. A feeding trough 211 is opened at the top of the toothed plate 29. A moving plate 210 is provided inside the feeding trough 211. The bottom of the moving plate 210 is connected to the top of the toothed plate 29.
[0014] In this implementation scheme, multiple baffles 11 inside the feeding trough 10 effectively isolate the feed area, providing each duck with an independent feeding space, reducing feed waste and fighting, and promoting the healthy growth of the ducks. The automatic feeding trough 12 fixed on the side realizes automatic feed supply, eliminating the need for frequent manual addition, saving time and labor costs. The mounting trough 21 and its internal fixed column 20, spring 22 and moving ring 23 constitute a flexible support system, allowing the receiving plate 24 to automatically adjust its position according to the weight of the feed. The sleeve design at the lower end of the moving ring 23 enhances the stability of the structure. Through the meshing transmission of gear 1 27 and gear 2 28, and the interaction between gear 2 28 and toothed plate 29, precise control of the moving plate 210 inside the feeding trough 211 is achieved. When the weight of the feed on the receiving plate 24 changes, it drives the moving plate 210 to move, causing the internal space of the feeding trough 211 to change. This allows the amount of feed to be automatically adjusted according to the duck's consumption of the previous day, saving feed waste and ensuring feed freshness.
[0015] Specifically, the 26th gear meshes with the first gear 27, the first gear 27 meshes with the second gear 28, and the second gear 28 meshes with the toothed plate 29.
[0016] In this implementation scheme, by engaging the locking teeth 26 with gear 27, gear 27 with gear 28, and gear 28 with gear plate 29, the power is directly converted into the linear motion of gear plate 29, thereby controlling the position of moving plate 210 in the feeding trough 211. This control method allows the amount of feed to be adjusted in real time as needed, ensuring that each duck receives an appropriate amount of feed, which not only meets its growth needs but also avoids feed waste.
[0017] Specifically, the height of the mounting groove 21 is greater than the height of the sleeve set at the lower end of the moving ring 23, and the height of the sleeve is the same as that of the side plate 25.
[0018] In this embodiment, the height of the mounting groove 21 is greater than the height of the sleeve set at the lower end of the moving ring 23. The height of the sleeve is the same as that of the side plate 25, so that the receiving plate 24 will not be stuck when it moves downward, thus affecting the normal use of the device. At the same time, the presence of the sleeve also ensures that the side plate 25 will not be interfered with or obstructed by the edge of the mounting groove 21 during rotation, making the meshing transmission between the gear 27 and the locking tooth 26 smoother and more unobstructed.
[0019] Specifically, the maximum range of movement of the toothed plate 29 is consistent with the height of the discharge port 13.
[0020] In this implementation scheme, the movement range of the toothed plate 29 is aligned with the height of the discharge port 13, ensuring that feed is neither excessive nor insufficient during feeding, preventing feed accumulation or overflow in the feeding trough 10, thereby maintaining a clean and hygienic feeding environment, ensuring the healthy growth of ducks, and reducing feed waste. Specifically, an automatic door is installed inside the discharge port 13. In this embodiment, an automatic door is installed inside the discharge port 13, which allows the material to be automatically discharged into the feeding tank 10 after the material is discharged, reducing manual operation.
[0021] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the automatic feeding trough 12 replenishes feed into the feeding trough 211 at regular intervals. When the ducks are eating the feed on the receiving plate 24, the receiving plate 24 automatically adjusts its position through the spring 22 and the moving ring 23. The gear set drives the toothed plate 29 to adjust the internal space size of the feeding trough 211, accurately controlling the amount of feed that can be contained in the feeding trough 211. Then, the feed is controlled by the automatic door in the discharge port 13 and falls into the feeding trough 10 at regular intervals and in a fixed amount, providing each duck with an independent and appropriate amount of feed. The whole process does not require frequent manual intervention, and is efficient and precise.
[0022] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
