Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toad farming, specifically a toad feeding facility. Background Technology

[0002] Toads are amphibians with many bumps on their bodies containing poison glands. They are commonly known as toads, spiky toads, or toad-shaped toads. In my country, there are two main species: the Chinese giant toad and the black-rimmed toad. Toads are economically valuable animals with high medicinal value. Furthermore, every part of the toad is valuable; toad venom, dried toad, toad skin, toad head, toad tongue, toad liver, and toad gall are all precious medicinal materials. Therefore, toad farming has become an important and meaningful endeavor. The structure of toads' eyes makes them less able to perceive stationary objects; they can only see moving objects. Therefore, they primarily rely on vision to perceive moving objects.

[0003] However, in existing toad farming practices, the feeding methods generally involve manual operation, netting, and vibration feeding, which makes the food move so that the toads can see and catch it. This feeding method can easily cause the food to accumulate in the center of the net, making it difficult for small toads to eat properly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a toad feeding facility, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a toad feeding facility, including a breeding chamber feeding mechanism body, a breeding pool is opened inside the feeding mechanism body, a U-shaped feeding trough is opened on the upper outer side of the breeding pool, a lower horizontal support is arrayed on the upper surface of the U-shaped feeding trough, a protective net is set below the lower horizontal support corresponding to the position of the U-shaped feeding trough, a feeding net is installed above the lower horizontal support on the upper surface of the U-shaped feeding trough, and a dividing grid is installed on the upper surface of the feeding net.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an upper horizontal support is installed above the dividing grid at the position corresponding to the lower horizontal support, and a vibration motor is installed on the upper surface of the upper horizontal support.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: a hanging ring is installed on the lower surface of the upper crossbar support, and a hanging rope is connected between the hanging ring and the feeding net.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the feeding net is fixedly connected to the hanging ring via the suspension rope.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a vibrating rod is connected between one end of the vibrating motor and the feeding net.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the upper and lower crossbar supports are made of rigid materials, and the length of the upper and lower crossbar supports is greater than the width of the U-shaped feeding trough.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the feeding net is provided to cover the U-shaped feeding trough of the breeding shed with a certain margin, and is covered and pressed together with soil.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the excavation depth of the breeding pond is greater than the excavation depth of the U-shaped feeding trough.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. By quantitatively scattering feed within multiple areas formed by the divided grid, and controlling the shaking of the feeding net to shake the feed above, the toads can be encouraged to eat. At the same time, the feeding net as a whole can be prevented from collapsing when the feed is placed by the connection of the hanging rope and the upper horizontal support.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a toad feeding facility, including a feeding mechanism body 1 in a breeding chamber. A breeding pond 2 is located inside the feeding mechanism body 1. A U-shaped feeding trough 3 is located on the outer upper part of the breeding pond 2. The excavation depth of the breeding pond 2 is greater than the excavation depth of the U-shaped feeding trough 3. Lower horizontal support brackets 9 are arrayed on the upper surface of the U-shaped feeding trough 3. A protective net 4 is installed below the lower horizontal support brackets 9 corresponding to the position of the U-shaped feeding trough 3. A feeding net 5 is installed above the lower horizontal support brackets 9 on the upper surface of the U-shaped feeding trough 3. The feeding net 5 completely covers the U-shaped feeding trough 3 in the breeding chamber with a certain margin, and is covered with soil. The feeding net 5 is pressed together. A dividing grid 6 is installed on the upper surface of the feeding net 5. An upper horizontal support 7 is installed above the dividing grid 6 at the position corresponding to the lower horizontal support 9. Both the upper horizontal support 7 and the lower horizontal support 9 are made of rigid materials. The length of the upper horizontal support 7 and the lower horizontal support 9 is greater than the width of the U-shaped feeding trough 3. A hanging ring 701 is installed on the lower surface of the upper horizontal support 7. A hanging rope 702 is connected between the hanging ring 701 and the feeding net 5. The feeding net 5 is fixedly connected to the hanging ring 701 by the hanging rope 702. A vibration motor 8 is installed on the upper surface of the upper horizontal support 7. A vibrating rod is connected between one end of the vibration motor 8 and the feeding net 5.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After excavating and setting up the breeding pond 2 in the breeding area, a U-shaped feeding trough 3 is excavated on the outer side of the upper surface of the breeding pond 2. The protective net 4 is then attached to the inner wall of the U-shaped feeding trough 3, and bricks, cement, or other materials are used to tightly attach the protective net 4 to prevent the grass at the bottom from growing upward and puncturing the feeding net 5. After installing the lower horizontal support brackets 9 at equal intervals on the upper surface of the U-shaped feeding trough 3, the feeding net 5 is laid on top of the lower horizontal support brackets 9 corresponding to the position of the U-shaped feeding trough 3. The dividing grid 6 is placed on top of the feeding net 5, and then the lower horizontal support brackets 9 are placed on top of the dividing grid 6. By connecting the hanging rope 702 to the inside of the feeding net 5 and the hanging ring 701 respectively, when feeding, a certain amount of feed can be scattered in the multiple areas formed by the dividing grid 6. The vibration motor 8 drives the vibrator to vibrate, controlling the shaking of the feeding net 5 in the cavities of the multiple dividing grid 6. This can encourage the toads to eat. At the same time, the feeding net 5 as a whole can be prevented from collapsing when feeding is placed by the connection of the hanging rope 702 and the upper horizontal support 7. The upper horizontal support 7 can also be provided for the toads to stand on when they are foraging from inside the breeding pond 2, which can prevent the toads from standing directly on the upper surface of the feeding net 5 and getting food stuck to the surface.
