Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ostrich farming, and more specifically, to a feeding device for ostrich farming. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale ostrich farming, traditional feeding devices, such as single long feeding troughs or centralized feeding methods, have significant limitations. When the number of ostriches is large, long feeding troughs easily lead to ostriches crowding in localized areas to compete for food, causing problems such as crushing and trampling, which not only affect the health of the ostriches but may also result in feed waste. Centralized feeding, on the other hand, cannot guarantee that each ostrich receives sufficient food, which is not conducive to uniform fattening. In addition, traditional devices lack flexible feed distribution and conveying adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to adapt to the changing feed intake of ostriches at different growth stages. How to invent a feeding device for ostrich farming to improve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding device for ostrich farming, comprising...

[0027] The storage mechanism 100 includes a storage bin 110 and a conveying component 120. The outer side of the storage bin 110 is connected to the conveying component 120. The transmission feeding mechanism 200 includes a drive feeding component 210 and a guide component 220. The drive feeding component 210 is a regular polygon and includes a feeding trough 211. A second auger 213 is installed inside the feeding trough 211. The guide component 220 is installed above the feeding trough 211. The bottom of the guide component 220 is connected to the inside of the feeding trough 211, and the top of the guide component 220 is connected to the top of the conveying component 120. The drive feeding component 210 is a regular polygon, and multiple feeding troughs 211 are distributed to allow ostriches to eat on all sides of the polygon at the same time, effectively avoiding squeezing and trampling problems caused by concentrated feeding, and ensuring the healthy growth of ostriches.

[0028] Please see Figures 3 to 5The storage bin 110 includes a bin cylinder 111, with a hopper 113 connected to the top of the bin cylinder 111. The top of the hopper 113 is engaged with the top of the bin cylinder 111. A support ring 112 is fixedly connected to the top of the bin cylinder 111, and a fixing ring 114 is fixedly connected to the top of the hopper 113. The fixing ring 114 is correspondingly arranged with the support ring 112. The hopper 113 is conical in shape, and its bottom is through-hole for easy feeding into the bin cylinder 111.

[0029] The conveying assembly 120 includes a conveying pipe 121, with a discharge pipe 122 fixedly connected to the top of the conveying pipe 121 and a guide pipe 123 connected to the bottom of the conveying pipe 121. The guide pipe 123 is connected to the bottom of the silo 111, and a first auger 125 is internally driven by the conveying pipe 121. The guide pipe 123 is inclined, with one end of the guide pipe 123 connected to the conveying pipe 121 inclined towards the bottom of the silo 111. A first motor 124 is fixedly installed at the top of the conveying pipe 121, and the output end of the first motor 124 is connected to the first auger 125. The inclined design of the guide pipe 123 facilitates the entry of feed from the silo 111 into the guide pipe 123, and also facilitates the first motor 124 driving the first auger 125 to lift the feed into the conveying assembly 220.

[0030] Simultaneously, the regular polygons formed by the feeding components 210 need to be an even number, such as quadrilaterals, hexagons, or octagons. The number of conveying components 120 can be set as needed.

[0031] The feeding drive assembly 210 also includes a connecting groove 212. Multiple sets of connecting grooves 212 and feeding grooves 211 are provided, forming a regular polygon. The connecting groove 212 is located between two sets of feeding grooves 211. The two ends of the second auger 213 are respectively limited and rotatably connected to one end face of the connecting groove 212. At the same time, the output ends of the two second augers 213 are correspondingly arranged, and a second motor 214 is drivenly connected above the output ends of the two second augers 213.

[0032] Meanwhile, the height of the feeding component 210 can be customized as needed. Young birds (0-3 months, 40-50cm tall - smaller in size, about 50-80cm tall when standing, with their heads naturally raised to a lower height) should be kept at a lower height to avoid them having to stand on tiptoe to peck at food due to an excessively high feed trough, which could affect their leg development.

[0033] Sub-adult birds (3-12 months) 50-60cm - As their height increases to 100-150cm, their head range of motion expands, but they still need to maintain a natural head-down angle (approximately 30°-45°). This is to prevent excessive height from causing neck muscle strain.

[0034] Adult birds (over 1 year old) 60-80cm - Adult ostriches can reach a height of 200-250cm. When standing, their heads naturally hang down to a height of about 60-80cm (from the ground to the beak). This aligns with their "head-down shoveling" habit, reducing pressure on their cervical spine. Feed can be delivered using the conveyor unit 120.

[0035] The output ends of the second motor 214 and the second auger 213 are respectively equipped with bevel gears 215. The bevel gears 215 mesh and drive each other. A sealing box 216 is provided above the connecting groove 212. The second motor 214 is fixedly installed inside the sealing box 216. The bevel gears 215 are spiral bevel gears or custom straight bevel gears. The tooth surfaces need to be ground to ensure meshing accuracy. At the same time, polygons with more than eight sides are avoided. The second motor 214 is used to drive the second auger 213 with two sides. For quadrilaterals, two sets of second motors 214 and four second augers 213 are required. The number of hexagons and octagons increases in sequence.

[0036] Multiple sets of feed guiding components 220 are provided, with each set located at the tail of the second auger 213. Each feed guiding component 220 also includes a feed distribution box 221, which is fixedly installed above the connecting groove 212. The two ends of the feed distribution box 221 correspond to the included angle formed by the two feeding troughs 211. Inside the feed distribution box 221, there is a feed distribution block 222, which is fixedly installed at the included angle inside the box. A feed distribution hopper 223 is connected to the top of the feed distribution box 221, corresponding to the discharge pipe 122. The feed distribution hopper 223 and the discharge pipe 122 are arranged vertically and can be sealed as needed to prevent feed splashing. The top of the feed distribution block 222 is V-shaped, and both sides are inclined to transfer feed to both sides.

[0037] Working principle: Feed storage and initial conveying: Feed is poured into the silo 111 through the hopper 113 for storage. The first motor 124 is started, driving the first auger 125 to rotate in the conveying pipe 121. Due to the inclined setting of the guide pipe 123, under the action of the first auger 125, the feed in the silo 111 is conveyed to the conveying pipe 121 through the guide pipe 123, and then conveyed upward to the guide assembly 220 through the discharge pipe 122.

[0038] Feed distribution and secondary conveying: Feed enters the distribution box 221 through the distribution hopper 223, and the distribution block 222 evenly distributes the feed to the feeding troughs 211 on both sides. The second motor 214 starts, and its output end is driven by the meshing transmission of the bevel gear 215, which drives the two second screw conveyors 213 to rotate in the feeding trough 211, conveying the feed distributed by the distribution box 221 along the feeding trough 211 to both ends, so that the feed is evenly distributed in the feeding trough 211 for the ostriches to eat.

[0039] Structural adjustment and maintenance: When the number of ostriches increases or decreases, the size of the regular polygonal drive feeding component 210 can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of connecting slots 212 and feeding slots 211; during routine maintenance, the feed hopper 113 can be removed from the top of the storage bin 111 to clean the inside of the storage bin 110; by opening the sealed box 216, the second motor 214 and bevel gear 215 can be inspected and maintained.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
