Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pigeon feeding technology, specifically a timed and quantitative feeding device for pigeons. Background Technology

[0002] Squabs are young pigeons that are within one month of hatching and leaving the nest to be sold or kept for breeding. They can only survive if fed by their parents. Their thermoregulation and disease resistance are very poor, making this the most dangerous period in a pigeon's life.

[0003] The utility model patent with application number 201520634491.5 discloses a feeding device for caged pigeons that can differentiate feeding, including a feeding trough for feeding pigeons, a cover plate set on the feeding trough, a traction mechanism installed on one side of the feeding trough for opening the cover plate, and a trigger switch mechanism set on one side of the feeding trough for activating the traction mechanism. This utility model belongs to the field of pigeon feeding technology, specifically a feeding device for caged pigeons that can differentiate between feeding stages. It solves the problem of feeding non-lactating pigeons uniformly without distinguishing between them, leading to a situation where increasing feed amounts results in a significant waste of feed for non-lactating pigeons, while not increasing feed amounts leaves lactating pigeons unsatisfied. The device opens the feed trough opposite the lactating pigeons when feeding them, allowing them to eat, while the feed trough opposite the non-lactating pigeons remains closed, preventing non-lactating pigeons from accessing the feed and thus avoiding significant feed waste.

[0004] Existing feeding devices use a cover between the cribs of suckling pigeons and the feed troughs to ensure that the cribs of non-lactating pigeons can receive more food. However, there is no limit to the amount of food given during feeding. Depending on the actual situation, to ensure that the non-lactating pigeons are full, they are given plenty of feed. However, suckling pigeons cannot consume all of this feed. When they peck at the feed, leftover feed is easily spilled in the cribs, which not only wastes feed but also greatly contaminates the cribs. In the long run, this can even lead to illness in the pigeons. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a timed and quantitative feeding device for squabs to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

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.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a timed and quantitative feeding device for squabs, including a mounting sleeve 1. A transfer shaft 2 is movably fitted inside the mounting sleeve 1. An adapter cavity 3 is formed in the middle of the transfer shaft 2. A plurality of symmetrically and evenly distributed transfer grooves 4 are formed on the outer surface of the transfer shaft 2. An adjusting piston plate 5 is sealed inside the transfer grooves 4. A timed control motor 6 is installed inside the transfer shaft 2. One end of the timed control motor 6 is connected to the mounting sleeve 1. The output shaft of the timed control motor 6 is fixedly connected to the transfer shaft 2. A transmission assembly 8 is inserted through the middle of the adapter cavity 3. Two symmetrical linkage rings are threaded onto the outside of the transmission assembly 8. A plurality of evenly distributed sliding grooves 9 are formed inside the transfer shaft 2. Each sliding groove 9 corresponds to one of the transfer grooves 4. The two sides of the sliding grooves 9 are respectively connected to the facing surfaces of the adapter cavity 3 and the transfer grooves 4. The slide groove 9 has two sliding rods 10 inside, one end of which passes through the slide groove 9 and extends into the transfer groove 4 and is hinged to the bottom of the adjusting piston plate 5. The other end of the sliding rod 10 passes through the slide groove 9 and extends into the adapter cavity 3 and is hinged to the two linkage rings. One end of the transmission component 8 is connected to the inner wall of the adapter cavity 3, and the other end of the transmission component 8 passes through the adapter cavity 3 and extends to the outside of the transfer shaft 2 and the mounting sleeve 1 and is connected to the operating component 7. Due to the setting of the transfer groove 4, with the cooperation of the transfer shaft 2, the purpose of feeding at a time can be achieved by the timing control motor 6 driven by the mounting sleeve 1, etc. Moreover, with the cooperation of the transmission component 8, the slide groove 9 and the sliding rod 10, the volume of the outer side of the adjusting piston plate 5 in the transfer groove 4 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the effect of feeding at a time and in a quantity.

[0021] The adjusting piston plate 5 moves radially following the slide rod 10 and slides along the inside of the transfer groove 4. The outer end of the transfer groove 4 extends to the outer surface of the transfer shaft 2 and is sealed and fitted with the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 1.

[0022] The mounting sleeve 1 has a sealing cover 11 fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides by threads. The outer surface of the sealing cover 11 is flush with the outer surface of the mounting sleeve 1. The rear end of the timing control motor 6 is fixedly installed on the sealing cover 11.

[0023] The mounting sleeve 1 has a mounting bracket 12 fixedly attached to the rear end of its outer surface, and the entire mounting sleeve 1 is installed through the mounting bracket 12.

[0024] The top of the mounting sleeve 1 is integrally formed with a feeding pipe 13, and the bottom of the mounting sleeve 1 is integrally formed with a discharging pipe 14. The extended axes of the feeding pipe 13 and the discharging pipe 14 coincide with each other. The top of a transfer groove 4 at the top is connected to the bottom of the feeding pipe 13, and the bottom of a transfer groove 4 at the bottom is connected to the top of the discharging pipe 14.

[0025] The control component 7 includes a control knob 71 located outside the mounting sleeve 1. A locking ring 72 is fixedly connected to one end of the control knob 71 near the mounting sleeve 1, and a positioning ring 73 fixedly mounted on the mounting sleeve 1 is engaged with the other side of the locking ring 72. The control knob 71 is fitted with a linkage sleeve 74 located inside the locking ring 72 and the positioning ring 73. The linkage sleeve 74 is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 1 through a bearing. A first sliding cavity 75 is provided on the side of the linkage sleeve 74 away from the mounting sleeve 1. A slider 76 is slidably connected inside the first sliding cavity 75. The inner wall of the first sliding cavity 75 and the outer surface of the slider 76 are both interlocking polygons.

[0026] One side of the slider 76 is connected to the transmission assembly 8, and the other side of the slider 76 is fixedly connected to the linkage shaft 77. The other end of the linkage shaft 77 passes through the first sliding cavity 75 and extends to the outside of the linkage sleeve 74 and is fixedly connected to the operating knob 71. Due to the setting of the operating assembly 7, under the elastic restoring force of the positioning spring 78, the transmission assembly 8 is kept in the disconnected state, while the locking ring 72 and the positioning ring 73 are kept in the meshing state, thereby avoiding the situation where the transmission rod 81 rotates in the locked state, causing the external volume of the adjusting piston plate 5 in the transfer groove 4 to change unexpectedly.

[0027] The transmission assembly 8 includes a transmission rod 81 threaded into the interior of two linkage rings. Both ends of the transmission rod 81 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adapter cavity 3 via bearings. A second sliding cavity 82 is formed inside the transmission rod 81. A linkage head 83 is movably sleeved inside the second sliding cavity 82. A second retaining ring 86 is fixedly sleeved inside the second sliding cavity 82 on the side of the linkage head 83 closest to the operating assembly 7. A first retaining ring 85 is fixedly connected to the side of the linkage head 83 closest to the operating assembly 7. A gap exists between the first retaining ring 85 and the second retaining ring 86. A linkage rod 84 is fixedly connected to the side of the linkage head 83 closest to the operating assembly 7. The other end of the linkage rod 84 passes through the first retaining ring 85 and the second retaining ring 86 and extends into the interior of the linkage sleeve 74, and is fixedly connected to the slider 76. Due to the setting of the transmission component 8, with the cooperation of the first retaining ring 85 and the second retaining ring 86, it can avoid the situation where the control component 7 obstructs the rotation of the transfer shaft 2 and its internal transmission rod 81 slide groove 9 and slide rod 10 when the timed control motor 6 is running. At the same time, it is convenient for the operator to control the transmission of the transmission component 8 through the control component 7, so as to achieve the effect of manually controlling the rotation of the transmission rod 81 to adjust the external volume of the adjusting piston plate 5 in the transfer groove 4.

[0028] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: Based on the amount of feed to be fed at set times and in set quantities, the position of the adjusting piston plate 5 inside the transfer trough 4 is adjusted to change the volume of feed temporarily stored on the outer side of the adjusting piston plate 5 inside the transfer trough 4. Specifically, pulling the operating knob 71 causes it to drive the slider 76 to slide along the first slide cavity 75 via the linkage shaft 77, compressing the positioning spring 78, increasing its elastic restoring force, and separating the locking ring 72 and the positioning ring 73. At the same time, the linkage shaft 77 and the slider 76 drive the linkage rod 84 to slide along the inside of the second slide cavity 82, and drive the linkage head 83 to slide along the inside of the second slide cavity 82, so that the first retaining ring 85 and the second retaining ring 86 are engaged. Interlocking; at this time, turning the control knob 71 will drive the linkage sleeve 74 to rotate through the linkage shaft 77 and the slider 76, so that the positioning spring 78 will rotate with it, and at the same time drive the linkage rod 84 to rotate. The rotation of the linkage rod 84 can drive the transmission rod 81 to rotate under the cooperation of the first retaining ring 85 and the second retaining ring 86. Since the rotation of the transmission rod 81 can drive several slide rods 10 to swing through the linkage ring under the restriction of the slide groove 9, and push the corresponding adjusting piston plate 5 to slide along the transfer groove 4 through the other end of the slide rod 10, thereby changing the volume of feed received on the outside of the adjusting piston plate 5 in the transfer groove 4. The mounting sleeve 1 is installed in the feeding area by the mounting bracket 12. Under the restriction of the sealing cover 11, the transfer shaft 2 is driven to rotate at a fixed angle by the timed control motor 6. After each rotation stops, one of the transfer grooves 4 is connected to the bottom feed pipe 14, and the top transfer groove 4 is connected to the feed pipe 13. At this time, under the action of gravity, the feed in the transfer groove 4 can flow out through the feed pipe 14 for feeding. The feed in the hopper enters the transfer groove 4 through the feed pipe 13 and enters the outside of the adjusting piston plate 5, thereby completing the timed and quantitative feeding.
