Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and more specifically, to a feed feeding device for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] In the livestock farming sector, feed dispensing devices are one of the key pieces of equipment ensuring the healthy growth of livestock and poultry. Livestock feed dispensing devices are mainly used to provide livestock and poultry with feed at regular intervals and in fixed quantities to meet their nutritional needs for growth and development. Traditional feed dispensing methods rely primarily on manual operation, requiring workers to add feed to the livestock and poultry troughs at specific frequencies and in fixed quantities. With the continuous expansion of livestock farming, workers need to retrieve feed from storage carts multiple times, a process that is not only labor-intensive but also significantly increases the workload. Therefore, automated feed dispensing devices for livestock farming have emerged to improve feeding efficiency and reduce the consumption of human resources.

[0003] Currently, there are some defects in the feed feeding devices for livestock farming on the market. Existing automatic feeding devices usually control the feeding speed by changing the size of the feed outlet, but the feed is prone to blockage at the feed outlet, causing the feeding device to malfunction, affecting the normal feeding of livestock and poultry, and thus adversely affecting the production efficiency of livestock farming. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems in the prior art by providing a feed feeding device for livestock farming that can adjust the feed dispensing speed and prevents feed from clogging.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a feed feeding device for livestock breeding, including a moving component and a storage box and a feeding component fixed on the moving component; The storage bin is provided with a discharge port at the bottom, and the discharge port is provided with a discharge component. The feeding assembly includes an electric conveyor belt, one end of which is located below the discharge component, and the other end extends outward to the top of the feeding trough. The discharge component is a channel set vertically at the discharge port, forming a cylindrical receiving cavity inside the channel. The axis of the receiving cavity is perpendicular to the channel. A rotating shaft is set inside the receiving cavity, with its two ends rotatably connected to the two end faces of the receiving cavity. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the receiving cavity and is connected to the output shaft of a first motor. At least two radially evenly distributed pusher plates are set on the rotating shaft. The first motor is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate the pusher plates. The edge of the pusher plate extends along the rotating shaft to contact the receiving cavity or into the bottom of the discharge port.

[0006] Optionally, the electric conveyor belt is provided with side baffles on opposite sides along its conveying direction, and a first baffle is provided at the end of the electric conveyor belt near the discharge component. The first baffle is inclined upward above the electric conveyor belt, and a second baffle is provided at the end of the electric conveyor belt (41) away from the discharge component (20). The second baffle is inclined downward below the electric conveyor belt.

[0007] Optionally, the diameter of the receiving cavity is larger than the diameter of the discharge port.

[0008] Optionally, the storage bin includes a bin body and a cover fixedly mounted on the bin body. The cover is provided with a feed inlet. An agitator is provided inside the storage bin. The drive shaft of the agitator passes vertically through the cover and is connected to the output shaft of a second motor. The second motor is used to drive the agitator to rotate.

[0009] Optionally, the bottom of the box is a sloping panel that slopes towards the discharge port.

[0010] Optionally, a transparent observation window is provided on the side of the box away from the electric conveyor belt, and the transparent observation window extends vertically.

[0011] Optionally, the moving component includes a base plate with four wheels at its bottom and push rods on the base plate, which are positioned on the side of the electric conveyor belt.

[0012] Optionally, the base plate is provided with two opposing brackets, and the ends of the brackets are provided with mounting plates. The mounting plates are fitted to the outer surface of the box and are connected to the box by screws so that the box is suspended and fixed on the base plate.

[0013] Optionally, the electric conveyor belt is provided with first connecting holes on both sides of one end near the discharge component, and second connecting holes on both sides of the other end. The bottom plate is provided with two first fixing blocks and two second fixing blocks. The first fixing blocks are provided with third connecting holes, and the second fixing blocks are provided with fourth connecting holes. The second connecting holes are elongated holes arranged along the direction of the electric conveyor belt, and the fourth connecting holes are elongated holes arranged in the vertical direction. The first connecting hole is connected to the third connecting hole via a fastener, and the second connecting hole is connected to the fourth connecting hole via a fastener.

[0014] The beneficial effects that this utility model can produce include: 1) Preventing feed blockage: By setting a rotating shaft with a radial pusher plate in the vertical channel, the edge of the pusher plate extends along the rotating shaft to the contact cavity. When the first motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the pusher plate acts like a rotating blade or scraper, continuously cutting, stirring and pushing the feed in the channel downward. When the feed enters the discharge part, the rotation of the pusher plate can effectively prevent the feed from being blocked at the discharge port. The rotating shaft drives the pusher plate to rotate, which can push the feed downward evenly, ensuring that the feed passes smoothly through the discharge port, ensuring the normal operation of the feeding device, thereby ensuring the normal feeding of livestock and poultry and improving the production efficiency of livestock breeding.

[0015] 2) By controlling the speed of the first motor, the rotational speed of the shaft and the pusher plate can be directly adjusted, avoiding the problem of easier clogging at small openings. This results in a wider, more stable, and more controllable range for adjusting the discharge speed. Adjusting the speed of the first motor controls the rotational speed of the shaft. This design, which allows for flexible adjustment of the discharge speed according to the needs of livestock and poultry, makes feed feeding more precise and meets the nutritional needs of different livestock and poultry at different growth stages.

[0016] 3) The entire feeding assembly is fixed on the mobile assembly, which makes the entire feed feeding device highly mobile and can be easily moved to different livestock breeding areas to quickly feed the feed, improve feeding efficiency, reduce the labor intensity of the staff, and at least two push plates are set to block the discharge port to prevent feed from falling during the movement.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of this application. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the combined embodiments are still within the protection scope of this application.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the livestock feed feeding device provided in this embodiment includes a moving component and a storage box and a feeding component 40 fixed on the moving component; the bottom of the storage box is provided with a discharge port 25, the discharge port 25 is provided with a discharge element 20, the feeding component 40 includes an electric conveyor belt 41, one end of the electric conveyor belt 41 is arranged vertically below the discharge element 20, and the other end extends outward to the top of the feeding trough; the discharge element 20 is a channel 26 arranged vertically in the discharge port 25, and a cylindrical receiving cavity is formed in the channel 26. 24. The axis of the receiving cavity 24 is perpendicular to the channel 26. A rotating shaft 22 is provided inside the receiving cavity 24. The two ends of the rotating shaft 22 are rotatably connected to the two end faces of the receiving cavity 24. One end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through the receiving cavity 24 and is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 21. At least two pusher plates 23 are provided on the rotating shaft 22, which are evenly distributed radially. The first motor 21 is used to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate the pusher plates 23. The edge of the pusher plate 23 extends along the rotating shaft 22 to contact the receiving cavity 24 or extend into the bottom of the discharge port 25.

[0022] Side baffles 42 are respectively provided on both sides of the electric conveyor belt 41 along its conveying direction. A first baffle 43 is provided at the end of the electric conveyor belt 41 closer to the discharge unit 20, and the first baffle 43 is inclined upward above the electric conveyor belt 41. A second baffle 44 is provided at the end of the electric conveyor belt 41 away from the discharge unit 20, and the second baffle 44 is inclined downward below the electric conveyor belt 41. The side baffles 42 on both sides of the conveyor belt form a physical barrier, forcing the feed to move along a predetermined path on the conveyor belt. This effectively prevents the feed from slipping or falling to both sides during the conveying process due to vibration, inertia, or conveyor belt deviation, and is especially effective for granular, free-flowing, or irregularly shaped feeds. It ensures that the feed is conveyed in a concentrated and orderly manner, reducing waste and on-site pollution, and improving conveying efficiency. The first baffle 43 prevents the feed from rolling back and overflowing at the inlet end, and the second baffle 44 prevents the feed from splashing at the outlet end and provides buffering and guidance.

[0023] In this embodiment, the diameter of the receiving cavity 24 is larger than the diameter of the discharge port 25, and four evenly distributed pusher plates 23 are provided on the rotating shaft 22. This reduces the probability of clogging and ensures the normal operation of the feeding device. During the movement of the device, the pusher plates 23 can block the discharge port 25, preventing feed from falling between the pusher plates 23 and the receiving cavity 24.

[0024] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage bin includes a body 10 and a cover 11 fixedly mounted on the body 10, as... Figure 6 As shown, the cover 11 is provided with a feed inlet 13, such as Figure 7As shown, a stirrer 15 is installed inside the feed storage bin. The drive shaft of the stirrer 15 passes vertically through the cover 11 and is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 12. The second motor 12 drives the stirrer 15 to rotate. It can stir the feed at regular intervals or continuously, thoroughly mix various different feeds, ensure that each animal receives balanced nutrition, and improve breeding efficiency.

[0025] The bottom of the box 10 is a sloping panel 16 that slopes towards the discharge port 25. With the help of gravity, the feed slides naturally towards the discharge port 25, which speeds up the feed flow, reduces feed residue in the box 10, improves feed utilization, and reduces the risk of blockage at the discharge port 25, making the feeding process smoother.

[0026] A transparent observation window 14 is provided on the side of the box 10 away from the electric conveyor belt 41. The transparent observation window 14 extends vertically, allowing staff to directly observe the amount, quality and clumping of feed without opening the box 10. This facilitates timely replenishment of feed, detection and handling of feed abnormalities such as dampness or mold, ensuring sufficient and reliable feed supply, and avoiding feeding interruptions.

[0027] Specifically, the mobile component includes a base plate 30, with four wheels 31 at the bottom of the base plate 30 and push rods 33 on the base plate 30. The push rods 33 are located on the side of the electric conveyor belt 41. The wheels 31 support the device to move freely within the farm, adapting to the needs of multiple feeding points or feeding area requirements. The position of the push rods 33 is ergonomic, making it easy for staff to operate.

[0028] Two opposing brackets 34 are provided on the base plate 30. The end of the bracket 34 is provided with a mounting plate 35. The mounting plate 35 is attached to the outer surface of the box 10. The mounting plate 35 is connected to the box 10 by screws. By adjusting the relative position of the mounting plate 35 and the box 10 in the vertical direction, the height of the box 10 can be adjusted so that the box 10 is suspended and fixed on the base plate 30, so that the electric conveyor belt 41 is placed at the bottom of the box 10.

[0029] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the electric conveyor belt 41 has first connecting holes 45 on both sides of one end near the discharge unit 20, and second connecting holes 46 on both sides of the other end. The base plate 30 has two first fixing blocks 32 and two second fixing blocks 36. The first fixing blocks 32 have third connecting holes, and the second fixing blocks 36 have fourth connecting holes. The second connecting holes 46 are elongated holes along the direction of the electric conveyor belt 41, and the fourth connecting holes are elongated holes along the vertical direction. The first connecting holes 45 are connected to the third connecting holes via fixing members 37, and the second connecting holes 46 are connected to the fourth connecting holes via fixing members 37. The connecting holes at both ends of the electric conveyor belt 41 cooperate with the fixing blocks and elongated holes on the base plate 30, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the electric conveyor belt 41. The second connecting holes 46 are connected to the fourth connecting holes via fixing members 37, allowing the end of the electric conveyor belt 41 near the feeding trough to have a certain range of adjustment in the vertical direction, facilitating rapid adaptation to different breeding sites and feeding trough positions, and improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0030] The workflow of the livestock feed feeding device provided in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: First, the operator fills the tank 10 with feed through the inlet 13 of the storage tank cover 11. Then, the second motor 12 drives the agitator 15 to rotate, mixing the various feeds evenly. Under gravity, the feed slides along the inclined panel 16 at the bottom of the tank towards the outlet 25, accumulating above the channel 26. When feeding is started, the first motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate at high speed, causing the radial pusher plate 23 to continuously scrape the inner wall of the cylindrical receiving cavity 24, forcibly breaking the feed arch structure, so that the feed is cut, pushed, and falls evenly to the feeding end of the electric conveyor belt 41. The falling feed is guided by the inclined first baffle plate 43 and concentrated at the center of the electric conveyor belt 41. The side baffles 42 prevent the feed from scattering laterally during transport. After the electric conveyor belt 41 transports the feed to the end, it is directionally thrown into the feeding trough by the downwardly inclined second baffle plate 44. After completing a single-point feeding, the operator holds the push rod 33 and uses the base plate 30 and four wheels 31 to move the device to the next feeding area to repeat the operation. Alternatively, the device can be moved while feeding into a long, narrow feeding trough, and the output can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the first motor 21 (the speed is positively correlated with the feeding amount), resulting in a uniform feeding amount. During this process, the remaining amount in the storage bin can be monitored in real time through the transparent observation window 14, and the height of the discharge end can be adjusted by coordinating the second and fourth connecting holes at the end of the electric conveyor belt 41 to adapt to the needs of feeding troughs of different depths.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
