Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beef cattle breeding technology, and in particular, it is an automatic feeder for beef cattle. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic feeders are mechanical devices used in agricultural production, especially in animal husbandry, to automatically feed or feed livestock. When in use, automatic feeders break up large clumps of feed. However, in sheep farming, not only feed but also other auxiliary materials need to be added to improve the feeding process. Without mixing and blending functions, the feed will be uneven.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN222193613U) for an automatic feeder for beef cattle. It includes a feed hopper with a star-shaped block rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hopper cavity. The end of the star-shaped block is tightly fitted to the upper surface of a screen, and a first spring is fixedly connected below the screen. This invention utilizes the principle that as the star-shaped block rotates, it squeezes the screen and spring. When the end of the star-shaped block leaves the screen surface, the elasticity of the spring causes the screen to return to its original position. The screen continuously moves up and down, achieving a vibration effect that further sieves the mixed feed. Large clumps of feed fall into a collection box for collection, preventing them from falling directly into the cattle's feeding troughs and ensuring more even feed distribution. While the aforementioned automatic feeder breaks up large clumps of feed, in beef cattle farming, not only feed but also other auxiliary materials need to be added. Without a mixing and agitation function, the feed distribution may be uneven. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeder for beef cattle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeder for beef cattle, comprising:

[0006] Mixing tank;

[0007] The counterweight plate is U-shaped and is rotatably connected to the mixing tank via a rotating rod. A rotary motor that provides power to the rotating rod is installed on the outer wall of the counterweight plate.

[0008] Three servo motors are installed in a triangular pattern on the outer wall of the mixing tank. The output shaft of the servo motors passes through the mixing tank and is connected to a stirring rod. Multiple staggered L-shaped dispersing plates are connected to the outer periphery of the stirring rod, and rubber scrapers for cleaning the inner wall of the mixing tank are connected to the outer periphery of the dispersing plates.

[0009] The outer periphery of the mixing tank is provided with a feeding channel for loading and unloading feed for beef cattle. The inner wall of the feeding channel is rotatably connected to two movable doors.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the counterweight plate is connected to an inclined guide frame located below the mixing tank, and a movable outer frame is fitted around the outer periphery of the inclined guide frame.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a linear motor is installed on the outer wall of the inclined guide frame, the moving part of the linear motor is connected and fixed to the movable outer frame, and multiple sliding rods are connected to the outer periphery of the inclined guide frame.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, two positive and negative motors are installed on each of the two symmetrically arranged sides of the mixing tank, and the two movable doors are connected and fixed by electromagnetic locks.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the output shaft of the forward and reverse motor is connected to an auxiliary rod, and the side of the auxiliary rod is connected to a stop plate for limiting the movable door.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the two symmetrically arranged outer peripheries of the mixing tank are connected with four limiting plates for limiting and clamping plates, and the limiting plates are L-shaped.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, a viewing window is embedded in the outer periphery of the mixing tank.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the counterweight plate has multiple round holes, and bolts for installation are installed in the round holes. Multiple anti-tipping plates are welded to the outer periphery of the counterweight plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This automatic feeder for beef cattle uses three servo motors arranged in a triangular pattern to drive the mixing rods, along with staggered L-shaped dispersing plates. The servo motors can precisely control the speed, and the staggered dispersing plates can thoroughly disperse and mix feed of different textures, such as straw and concentrate, to prevent feed from clumping (e.g., straw clumping can cause beef cattle to be picky eaters). The rotating motor drives the rotating rods and the mixing drum to ensure that the feed and concentrate are mixed evenly, ensuring that each beef cattle receive consistent nutrition. During mixing, the scraper rotates close to the inner wall of the mixing drum, which can clean the feed and forage residues (such as adhering concentrate and straw residue) in the drum in real time, which not only prevents feed from spoiling and being wasted, but also reduces the burden of subsequent manual cleaning.

[0019] This automatic feeder for beef cattle features a feed channel and double movable doors around the mixing tank, enabling automatic feeding (input through the channel) and automatic discharge (output through the channel to the trough). It is particularly suitable for large-scale beef cattle farms, reducing repetitive labor for feeders. The movable doors are secured by electromagnetic locks, ensuring a tight seal when closed and preventing feed leakage during mixing. Furthermore, the anti-locking plates connected to the forward and reverse motors can hold the movable doors in place, enhancing their stability.

[0020] This automatic feeder for beef cattle has an inclined guide frame that can receive materials falling from the feed channel. The opening of the inclined guide frame is on one side, which can guide the materials into the feed trough on one side. If the distance is insufficient, the linear motor is controlled to drive the movable outer frame to move and increase the guiding distance to meet different usage needs.

[0021] This automatic feeder for beef cattle can not only break up the feed but also mix various types of feed. Attached Figure Description

[0031] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0033] The connection method can adopt existing methods such as bonding, welding, and bolting, depending on the actual needs. Techniques, methods and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail. However, where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be regarded as part of the specification. The proportions of the components in the drawings are for reference only and can be adjusted to a certain extent according to the actual use.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic feeder for beef cattle is provided in this embodiment, which includes:

[0035] Mixing tank 1;

[0036] The counterweight plate 2 is U-shaped and is rotatably connected to the mixing tank 1 via a rotating rod 3. The length of the rotating rod 3 ensures that the counterweight plate 2 will not affect the servo motor 5. This application can also design other stable rotation structures to improve the stability of rotation. The outer wall of the counterweight plate 2 is equipped with a rotary motor 4 that provides power to the rotating rod 3. The rotary motor 4 drives the rotating rod 3 and the mixing tank 1 to rotate, ensuring that the coarse and fine materials are mixed evenly.

[0037] Three servo motors 5 are installed in a triangular pattern on the outer wall of the mixing tank 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 5 passes through the mixing tank 1 and is connected to a stirring rod 6. Multiple staggered L-shaped dispersing plates 7 are connected to the outer periphery of the stirring rod 6, and rubber scrapers 8 for cleaning the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 are connected to the outer periphery of the dispersing plates 7. The three servo motors 5 drive the stirring rod 6 and drive the dispersing plates 7 to rotate, which can disperse and mix different textures of straw, concentrate and other forage in all directions to avoid the forage from clumping.

[0038] This application has a limited scope of application, mainly for handling loose, non-sticky forage. If feeding silage, distiller's grains, or other forages with high moisture content and a tendency to stick together, the forages are prone to accumulating and clogging on the inner wall of the inclined guide frame. Furthermore, the clearance between the movable outer frame and the sliding rod may be jammed by the sticky forages, causing the adjustment function to fail.

[0039] The outer periphery of the mixing tank 1 is provided with a feeding channel for loading and unloading feed for beef cattle. The inner wall of the feeding channel is rotatably connected to two movable doors 9.

[0040] The inner wall of the counterweight plate 2 is connected to an inclined guide frame 10 located below the mixing tank 1. A movable outer frame 11 is fitted around the outer periphery of the inclined guide frame 10. A linear motor 12 is installed on the outer wall of the inclined guide frame 10. The moving part of the linear motor 12 is connected and fixed to the movable outer frame 11. Multiple sliding rods 13 are connected around the outer periphery of the inclined guide frame 10. The position of the movable outer frame 11 is selected according to the guiding needs and adjusted by the linear motor 12.

[0041] To improve the stability of the movable door 9, two positive and negative motors 14 are installed on the two symmetrically arranged sides of the mixing tank 1. The two movable doors 9 are connected and fixed by an electromagnetic lock. The output shaft of the positive and negative motors 14 is connected to an auxiliary rod 15. The side of the auxiliary rod 15 is connected to a retaining plate 16 for limiting the movable door 9. Four limiting plates 17 for limiting the retaining plate 16 are connected to the two symmetrically arranged outer peripheries of the mixing tank 1. The limiting plates 17 are L-shaped.

[0042] When the feeding channel is at the top, open the movable door 9 to expose the feeding channel, and then introduce different materials into the mixing tank 1. After feeding is completed, close the movable door 9 and the electromagnetic lock. The forward and reverse motor 14 drives the auxiliary rod 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping plate 16 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 16 limits and fixes the movable door 9. After the material is mixed, the rotary motor 4 drives the feeding channel to rotate to the bottom, controls the forward and reverse motor 14 to drive the clamping plate 16 to reset and release the clamping, opens the electromagnetic lock of the movable door 9, and the movable door 9 opens with gravity, and the material falls with gravity.

[0043] A viewing window is embedded in the outer periphery of the mixing tank 1.

[0044] The top of the counterweight plate 2 has multiple round holes, and bolts 18 for installation are installed in the round holes. Multiple anti-tipping plates are welded to the outer periphery of the counterweight plate 2. If movement is required, brake casters and other mobile equipment can also be installed at the bottom of the counterweight plate 2 and the anti-tipping plates.

[0045] This solution comes into direct or indirect contact with feed dust and moisture. Precision components such as motors are sensitive to dust and moisture. Long-term use can easily lead to short circuits and functional failures, and the replacement cost is high (the price of a single servo motor or linear motor can reach several hundred yuan), increasing the operating cost of the farm. Therefore, regular maintenance and replacement are required.

[0046] The functions of this application are relatively simple, and functions such as quantitative feeding and feed status monitoring are all manually controlled and monitored.

[0047] Rotary motor 4, servo motor 5, linear motor 12, and forward / reverse motor 14 are all conventional instruments. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. In order to facilitate the inspection, maintenance, and parts replacement of the device, the parts inside a single device are usually from the same manufacturer and of the same model, function, and batch. Therefore, even if there is a certain difference between two or more electrical control devices, the synchronous movement of the electrical control devices can still be maintained under the action of the controller. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this utility model.

[0048] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the existing technology. The machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology.

[0049] Working principle

[0050] This automatic feeder for beef cattle opens the movable door 9 when the feed channel is at the top, exposing the feed channel. Then, different feeds are introduced into the mixing tank 1. During this process, three servo motors 5 drive the mixing rod 6, which in turn drives the dispersing plate 7 to rotate. This allows for the all-round dispersing and mixing of feeds of different textures, such as straw and concentrate, to prevent the feeds from clumping. After feeding is completed, the movable door 9 and the electromagnetic lock are closed. The forward and reverse motors 14 drive the auxiliary rod 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping plate 16 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 16 limits and fixes the movable door 9. The rotary motor 4 drives the rotating rod 3 and the mixing tank 1 to rotate, ensuring that the coarse and fine feeds are mixed evenly.

[0051] After the material is mixed, the rotary motor 4 drives the feeding channel to rotate downwards. According to the guiding needs, the position of the movable outer frame 11 is selected and adjusted by the linear motor 12. Then, the forward and reverse motors 14 are controlled to drive the clamping plate 16 to reset and release the clamping. The electromagnetic lock of the movable door 9 is opened, and the movable door 9 opens with gravity. The material falls with gravity. The inclined guide frame 10 can receive the material falling from the feeding channel. The opening of the inclined guide frame 10 is on one side, which can guide the material into the breeding feed trough on one side.
