The upper and lower ends of the connecting tube are respectively connected to the arc-shaped plate and the fixing seat. The axial ends of the arc-shaped plate are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamps. An arc-shaped groove is formed between the arc-shaped plate and the two arc-shaped clamps. The arc-shaped switch piece is located in the arc-shaped groove and is used to block the connection between the connecting tube and the arc-shaped groove.

[0005] Furthermore, a push plate is formed on the outer side of the switch piece, and a first through hole is formed at the bottom of the arc-shaped groove in the feed tube, through which the push plate passes.

[0006] Furthermore, the arc-shaped hoop has extension plates on both sides that extend upwards above the arc-shaped plate, the central angle of the arc-shaped hoop is greater than 180 degrees, and the arc-shaped hoop is elastic.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes pressing plates, with the radially outer sides of the arc-shaped hoop being fixedly connected to the two pressing plates respectively.

The pressing plate has a second through hole, and the hook-shaped part of the hook away from the torsion spring is inserted into the second through hole.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a hose clamp, wherein baffles are formed on both sides of the arc-shaped clamp along the axial direction, and the hose clamp is located between the two baffles along the axial direction and contacts the two baffles respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding tube is formed by two half feeding tubes attached together in the axial direction. Each half feeding tube includes a part of the arc plate, a connecting tube, a fixing seat, and an arc hoop. The connecting tube at the facing part of the two half feeding tubes forms a fixing plate. After the bolt passes through the through hole of the fixing plate of the two half feeding tubes, it is threadedly connected to the nut to press and fix the two half feeding tubes.

[0011] Furthermore, the material of the feed tube is plastic.

[0012] Furthermore, two connecting pipes are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base, and the distance between the two connecting pipes gradually decreases towards the fixed base.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples: The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example 1: like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a multi-feeding port adapter includes: a feeding pipe 1 and a switch piece 2. The feeding pipe 1 includes an arc-shaped plate 11, a connecting pipe 12, a fixing seat 13, and an arc-shaped clamp 14. The fixing seat 13 is fixedly connected to multiple connecting pipes 12 at its top. The connecting pipes 12 are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped plate 11 at its top. The upper and lower ends of the connecting pipes 12 are respectively connected to the arc-shaped plate 11 and the fixing seat 13. The arc-shaped plate 11 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamp 14 at its axial ends. An arc-shaped groove 10 is formed between the arc-shaped plate 11 and the two arc-shaped clamps 14. The arc-shaped switch piece 2 is located in the arc-shaped groove 10. The switch piece 2 is used to block the connection between the connecting pipe 12 and the arc-shaped groove 10.

[0021] In use, the arc-shaped clamps 14 at both ends of each arc-shaped plate 11 are fitted onto the outside of the feeding pipe 6, fixing the discharge pipe 1 to the discharge pipe 6. When feeding is required, the switch piece 2 moves relative to the arc-shaped plate 11, so that the switch piece 2 no longer blocks the opening at the connection between the connecting pipe 12 and the arc-shaped groove 10. The feed, under its own weight, passes through the arc-shaped plate 11, the connecting pipe 12, and the fixing seat 13 in sequence from the feeding pipe 6, finally falling below the fixing seat 13. When feeding stops, the switch piece 2 moves back to its original position relative to the arc-shaped plate 11, blocking the opening at the connection between the connecting pipe 12 and the arc-shaped groove 10, preventing the feed from falling into the connecting pipe 12. The switch piece 2 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped groove 10 at both ends along the axis, and the arc-shaped groove 10 limits the axial movement of the switch piece 2.

[0022] Furthermore, a push plate 21 is formed on the outer side of the switch piece 2, and a first through hole 110 is formed at the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 10 in the feed tube 1. The push plate 21 passes through the first through hole 110. When in use, the operator's hand contacts the push plate 21 and pushes the push plate 21 to drive the switch piece 2 to open and close.

[0023] Furthermore, the arc-shaped hoop 14 has extension plates 141 formed on both sides, extending upwards above the arc-shaped plate 11. The central angle of the arc-shaped hoop 14 is greater than 180 degrees, and the arc-shaped hoop 14 is elastic. When the arc-shaped hoop 14 is fixed to the connecting pipe 12, the elastic deformation of the extension plates 141 enlarges the openings of the two opposing extension plates 141. When the feeding pipe 6 is inserted into the openings of the two opposing extension plates 141, the extension plates 141 elastically rebound and recover, thus securing the feeding pipe 6.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes pressing plates 16, with the arc-shaped hoop 14 radially and outwardly fixedly connected to the two pressing plates 16 respectively. When fixed, the hand simultaneously squeezes the two pressing plates 16, driving the two pressing plates 16 to move towards each other, increasing the opening between the two opposing extension plates 141.

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a clamping spring 4, which comprises a torsion spring 41 and a hook 42. The two ends of the torsion spring 41 are integrally formed with the hook 42. The pressing plate 16 has a second through hole 160, and the hook-shaped part of the hook 42 away from the torsion spring 41 is inserted into the second through hole 160. Since the arc-shaped hoop 14 is easy to fall off if it is fixed by the hoop alone, the clamping spring 4 is used to radially limit the arc-shaped hoop 14. The upper part of the hook 42 of the clamping spring 4 contacts the upper part of the feeding tube 6, and the arc-shaped hoop 14 fits against the lower part of the feeding tube 6, thereby fixing the arc-shaped hoop 14 to the feeding tube 6.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a hose clamp 3, on which baffles 15 are formed on both sides of the arc-shaped clamp 14 in the axial direction. The hose clamp 3 is located between the two baffles 15 in the axial direction and contacts the two baffles 15 respectively. Since it is easy to fall off if fixed by the arc-shaped clamp 14 alone, the hose clamp 3 is used to fit around the outside of the feed pipe 6 and the arc-shaped clamp 14 to tighten and fix them. Among them, the baffles 15 limit the axial movement of the hose clamp 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the feed tube 1 is formed by two axially joined half-feed tubes. Each half-feed tube includes a partial arc-shaped plate 11, a connecting pipe 12, a fixing seat 13, and an arc-shaped clamp 14. The connecting pipe 12 at the facing point of the two half-feed tubes forms a fixing plate 121. Bolts pass through the through holes of the fixing plates 121 of the two half-feed tubes and are threadedly connected to nuts to press and fix the two half-feed tubes. Dividing the feed tube 1 into two half-feed tubes facilitates injection molding, facilitates demolding, and reduces processing costs.

[0028] Furthermore, the material of the feeding pipe 1 is plastic, and the arc plate 11, connecting pipe 12, fixing seat 13 and arc hoop 14 of each half feeding pipe are integrally formed.

[0029] Furthermore, the upper part of the fixed base 13 is fixedly connected to two connecting pipes 12 respectively, and the distance between the two connecting pipes 12 gradually decreases towards the fixed base 13, forming a V shape to facilitate the feed to slide down along the connecting pipes 12.

[0030] Example 2: like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a feeding device using the multi-feeding port adapter of Embodiment 1 further includes a measuring cup 5 and a feeding tube 6. The lower end of the fixed base 13 is fixed to and detachably connected to the upper end of the measuring cup 5. The interior of the fixed base 13 is connected to the inlet of the measuring cup 5. An outlet is formed below the measuring cup 5. The feeding tube 6 passes through two arc-shaped clamps 14. A first discharge hole is formed radially downward on the feeding tube 6. The switch piece 2 is located between the first discharge hole and the arc-shaped plate 11. The switch piece 2 is slidably connected to the feeding tube 6.

[0031] Furthermore, the measuring cup 5 includes a housing 51, an observation window 52, ​​a sealing ball 53, and a pull rod 54. The inlet at the top of the housing 51 is connected to the fixed base 13, and an outlet is formed at the bottom of the housing 51. The sealing ball 53 is located inside the housing 51 to seal the outlet. The upper part of the sealing ball 53 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 54, which passes upward through the housing 51. The observation window 52 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the housing 51 and is made of transparent material. Thus, workers can observe the quantity of feed through the observation window 52.

[0032] Working principle: During use, the feed moves along the feeding pipe 6. As needed, the operator selects one or more of the feeding pipes 6, opens the switch 2, and the feed, under gravity, falls from the outlet of the fixed base 13 into the inlet of the measuring cup 5. When the operator observes that the amount of feed in the measuring cup 5 has reached the required level, they pull the sealing ball 53 upwards, driving it away from the outlet of the housing 51, and the feed falls downwards from the outlet of the housing 51 into the feeding trough.

[0033] The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
