Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding device for laying hen breeding. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, the demand for eggs is increasing, and farmers are expanding their egg-laying hen farming. Therefore, feeding devices are also essential.
[0003] For example, Chinese document CN206413585U describes a chicken coop feeding device, which includes a feeding hopper and a feeding tray. The feeding hopper is cylindrical with a handle at the top, and the bottom edge of the hopper tapers inward to form an inclined inserting ring. The feeding tray is disc-shaped with an upward-extending edge forming a limiting edge. The feeding tray contains a block with a groove at the top, into which the inserting ring is embedded. A pressing ring is movably fitted on the outer side of the bottom of the feeding hopper. The pressing ring includes an inner ring, which fits around the bottom of the feeding hopper. The outer ring has stepped limiting steps on its outer wall. The inner and outer rings are connected by a splash guard strip to form a single unit. A feed area is reserved between the bottom of the splash guard strip and the bottom of the inner cavity of the feeding tray. This design results in a compact structure, good performance, and eliminates feed waste.
[0004] If the feed is not consumed in time during the use of the above-mentioned feeding device, the remaining feed will contaminate the new feed, which can easily lead to chickens getting sick. Utility Model Content

[0013] Preferably, the ratio of the number of teeth of the first gear to the number of teeth of the second gear is 1:2.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This feeding device for laying hen farming uses a motor to drive a rotating shaft and a baffle to rotate. By intermittently aligning the feed hopper connection port A with the baffle connection port B, and with the help of a timer starter to control the motor's start and stop, it ensures that the amount of feed discharged each time is consistent, avoiding excessive feed accumulation or insufficient feeding. This reduces feed waste and meets the uniform feeding needs of laying hens. By utilizing the gear linkage structure of the discharge component and the cleaning component, when the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, it can drive the rod frame and scraper to efficiently clean the feed trough, push the residual feed to the slag discharge port for discharge, completely eliminate the problem of residual feed deteriorating and contaminating the new feed, reduce the probability of laying hens developing diseases due to eating contaminated feed, and protect the health of laying hens and the quality of eggs. The protective cover prevents feed dust from affecting gear transmission, and the diversion cone ensures that feed falls evenly into the feed trough. The entire device does not require additional power to drive the cleaning components, has low energy consumption, is easy to operate, and is suitable for large-scale egg-laying hen farming scenarios, improving farming efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a rod 12 and scrapers 13. The rod 12 is rotatably mounted on the top of the feed cylinder 1, and there are two scrapers 13, which are respectively fixedly mounted on both ends of the rod 12.
[0021] Furthermore, the linkage structure includes a first gear 14 and a second gear 15. The first gear 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rod 12, and the second gear 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 11. The second gear 15 meshes with the first gear 14. The starter intermittently starts the motor 10. The output shaft of the motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 11, the baffle 8, and the second gear 15 to rotate one revolution. The rotation of the second gear 15 drives the first gear 14, the rod 12, and the scraper 13 to rotate two revolutions. The rotation of the scraper 13 can scrape and push the residual feed inside the feed trough 2. When the residual feed is pushed, it will be discharged from the slag discharge port 16 to avoid the residual feed from contaminating the new feed.
[0022] Furthermore, the hopper 6 has a connecting port A7, the baffle 8 has a connecting port B9, and a timer starter is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the motor 10. When the baffle 8 rotates one revolution, the connecting port A7 and the connecting port B9 will connect. The feed at the top of the hopper 6 falls into the top of the diversion cone 3 through the connecting port A7 and the connecting port B9, and finally slides down to the top of the feed trough 2 through the diversion cone 3 and the discharge port 5, so as to achieve quantitative feeding of the laying hens.
[0023] Furthermore, the feed trough 2 is provided with a slag discharge port 16, and the scraper 13 is located above the slag discharge port 16.

[0025] Furthermore, the ratio of the number of teeth of the first gear 14 to the number of teeth of the second gear 15 is 1:2.
[0026] Working principle: Feed is fed into the feed hopper 1 through the feed inlet 4. The feed falls to the top of the feed hopper 6. Then, the timer starter intermittently starts the motor 10. The output shaft of the motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 11, the baffle 8, and the second gear 15 to rotate one revolution. The rotation of the second gear 15 drives the first gear 14, the rod frame 12, and the scraper 13 to rotate two revolutions. The rotation of the scraper 13 can scrape and push the residual feed in the feed trough 2. When the residual feed is pushed, it will be discharged from the slag discharge port 16 to avoid the residual feed from contaminating the new feed. When the baffle 8 rotates one revolution, the connecting port A7 and the connecting port B9 will be connected. The feed at the top of the feed hopper 6 falls into the top of the diversion cone 3 through the connecting port A7 and the connecting port B9. Finally, it slides down to the top of the feed trough 2 through the diversion cone 3 and the discharge port 5, so as to achieve quantitative feeding of laying hens.
