Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a lamb quantitative feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Lamb rearing is a crucial aspect of livestock farming. Due to insufficient milk production in some ewes or a large number of lambs, artificial feeding devices are often necessary. However, existing lamb feeding devices are difficult to clean in practice, and residual milk can easily breed bacteria. Incomplete cleaning can lead to gastrointestinal diseases in lambs, affecting their health. Therefore, we propose a new lamb feeding device to address these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides a lamb quantitative feeding device.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a lamb quantitative feeding device, comprising a base, on which a milk storage tank is mounted. Two electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the milk storage tank, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods. A spray pipe is positioned above the scraper. A milk inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the milk storage tank. A water tank is fixedly connected to one side of the milk storage tank, and an auxiliary water pump is installed inside the water tank. The outlet of the auxiliary water pump is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe, and the other end of the water supply pipe passes through the water tank and the milk storage tank sequentially, and is fixedly connected to the spray pipe. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the milk storage tank, and the motor outputs... A main shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the milk storage tank, the main shaft passes through the milk storage tank and extends inward, a cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main shaft, the cleaning brush abuts against the inner bottom of the milk storage tank, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the milk storage tank, the bottom end of the drain pipe passes through the base and extends to the bottom of the base, a solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drain pipe, several milk storage boxes are fixedly connected to the sides of the base, a nipple is fixedly connected to one side of each milk storage box, several sets of metering pumps are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the milk storage tank through pipes, a delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the outlet end of each set of metering pumps, and the other end of each delivery pipe extends into the interior of the milk storage box.
[0005] Furthermore, the outer surface of the spray pipe is fixedly connected with a plurality of fixed posts arranged at equal intervals, and the bottom end of each fixed post is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the scraper.
[0006] Furthermore, the bottom of the milk storage tank is fixedly connected to four support columns, and the bottom of each support column is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base.
[0007] Furthermore, two sets of connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base, and each set of connecting blocks is rotatably connected to a caster wheel.
[0008] Furthermore, an auxiliary handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, and an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the auxiliary handle.
[0009] Furthermore, a sturdy block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the auxiliary water pump, and the bottom surface of the sturdy block is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the water storage tank.
[0010] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly connected to the top of the milk storage tank, and the electric telescopic rod, auxiliary water pump, solenoid valve, motor and metering pump are all controlled by the controller.
[0011] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0012] This invention features an electrically operated telescopic rod. When activated, the rod drives a scraper to move up and down at a constant speed along the inner wall of the milk storage tank. This precisely removes milk residue and milk clumps adhering to the inner wall, especially in areas difficult to reach manually, such as the bottom corners and inner wall seams. The mechanical scraping action of the scraper directly removes residual dirt, preventing it from becoming stubborn stains. A motor drives a cleaning brush to clean the bottom of the milk storage tank. Simultaneously, an auxiliary water pump inside the water tank starts, continuously drawing clean water stored in the tank and pressurizing it before supplying it through a water pipe. The spray pipe inside the milk storage tank can adjust its spray position synchronously with the movement of the scraper. Multiple tiny spray holes are evenly distributed on the pipe wall. When pressurized cleaning water is sprayed from these holes, it forms a high-pressure water flow. This not only performs a secondary rinse on the inner wall of the milk storage tank after the scraper has removed the debris, thoroughly dispersing the scraped-off dirt, but also directly rinses the top of the milk storage tank and the spray pipe itself, achieving a comprehensive cleaning effect inside the milk storage tank. This solves the problem of difficult cleaning in actual use, where residual milk easily breeds bacteria, and incomplete cleaning can lead to gastrointestinal diseases in lambs after drinking the milk. This system improves the health of the lambs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 The lamb metering feeder shown includes a base 1, with a milk storage tank 2 mounted on top of the base 1. The bottom of the milk storage tank 2 is fixedly connected to four support columns 13, and the bottom of each support column 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The four support columns 13 stably support the milk storage tank 2 above the base 1, preventing the milk storage tank 2 from directly contacting the base 1. This not only provides installation and working space for components such as the drain pipe 10 and metering pump 22 at the bottom of the milk storage tank 2, but also reduces the shaking of the milk storage tank 2 during equipment movement or operation, thus improving the overall structural stability.
[0020] Two electric telescopic rods 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the milk storage tank 2. The telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods 3 are fixedly connected to a scraper 4. The scraper 4 is annular and fits against the inner wall of the milk storage tank 2. The outer edge of the scraper 4 is made of rubber. A spray pipe 5 is set above the scraper 4. The spray pipe 5 has water outlet holes. Multiple fixed posts 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spray pipe 5 at equal intervals. The bottom end of each fixed post 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the scraper 4. The spray pipe 5 and the scraper 4 are firmly connected by the fixed posts 14, so that the two form a whole. When the electric telescopic rod 3 moves the scraper 4, the spray pipe 5 can move synchronously with the scraper 4 to ensure that the spray pipe 5 can rinse different positions of the inner wall of the milk storage tank 2, while preventing the spray pipe 5 from shifting during the rinsing process. The motor 12 drives the main shaft 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning brush 26 to scrub the bottom of the milk storage tank 2, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning range and stable cleaning effect.
[0021] The outer surface of the milk storage tank 2 is fixedly connected to the milk inlet pipe 6, and the outer surface of the milk storage tank 2 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 7. The water storage tank 7 is provided with a water injection hole. The bottom surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected to two sets of connecting blocks 15. Each set of connecting blocks 15 is rotatably connected to a caster wheel 16. The connecting blocks 15 provide a mounting carrier for the caster wheel 16. The rotatably connected caster wheel 16 can roll flexibly. When the staff pushes the equipment, the caster wheel 16 can reduce the friction between the base 1 and the ground, so that the equipment can be easily moved in the breeding site to adapt to different breastfeeding position needs and improve the flexibility of equipment use.
[0022] An auxiliary water pump 8 is installed inside the water tank 7. An auxiliary handle 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. An anti-slip sleeve 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the auxiliary handle 17. The auxiliary handle 17 provides a force point for the staff to move the equipment, making it easy to hold and push. The anti-slip sleeve 18 on the outer surface can increase the friction between the hand and the auxiliary handle 17, preventing the hand from slipping during pushing. Especially when the hands are covered with milk or water, the hand can still hold the equipment stably, improving the safety and convenience of operation.
[0023] The outlet of the auxiliary water pump 8 is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe 9. The bottom end of the water supply pipe 9 passes through the water storage tank 7 and the milk storage tank 2 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spray pipe 5. The water supply pipe 9 is a flexible hose of sufficient length according to the height of the milk storage tank 2 to facilitate stable water supply when the spray pipe 5 moves up and down. Two milk storage boxes 20 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1. The milk storage boxes 20 can be designed with lids for easy cleaning by operators. A nipple 21 is fixedly connected to one side of each milk storage box 20. Two sets of metering pumps 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the milk storage tank 2. In this embodiment, a small displacement metering pump of model GD100PQ1N is used, which is a diaphragm metering pump. The pump can be set to control the flow rate by adjusting the stroke of the plunger (piston) within the pump chamber. Each metering pump 22 has a fixed connection to a delivery pipe 23 at its outlet. The bottom of each delivery pipe 23 extends into the milk storage box 20, which is used to temporarily store the milk delivered by the metering pump 22. The nipple 21 mimics the shape of a ewe's teat to facilitate lamb feeding. The metering pump 22 is the core component for achieving quantitative feeding and can accurately control the amount of milk delivered. The delivery pipe 23 connects the metering pump 22 and the milk storage box 20 to ensure stable milk delivery. The four components work together to form a complete quantitative milk supply channel, meeting the needs of multiple lambs nursing simultaneously.
[0024] The bottom of the milk storage tank 2 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 10. The bottom of the drain pipe 10 passes through the base 1 and extends to the bottom of the base 1. The bottom of the milk storage tank 2 can also be set as a slope with slightly higher sides and slightly lower center to facilitate the outflow of cleaning water. At this time, the corresponding cleaning brush is also set as an inclined shape with a lower center and higher sides to fit the bottom of the milk storage tank 2. This bottom design facilitates the complete outflow of cleaning water without leaving any residue, and also prevents excessive waste of milk during feeding. A sturdy block 24 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the auxiliary water pump 8. The bottom surface of the sturdy block 24 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the water storage tank 7. The sturdy block 24 stably fixes the auxiliary water pump 8 inside the water storage tank 7, preventing the auxiliary water pump 8 from shifting or shaking due to vibration during operation. This ensures that the water inlet of the auxiliary water pump 8 can stably draw clean water from the water storage tank 7, and the water outlet can stably supply water to the spray pipe 5 through the water supply pipe 9, ensuring the stable operation of the spray cleaning function, while reducing the noise and wear caused by component vibration and extending the service life of the auxiliary water pump 8.
[0025] A solenoid valve 11 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe 10, and a controller 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the milk storage tank 2. The controller 25 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 3, the auxiliary water pump 8, the solenoid valve 11, the motor 12 and the metering pump 22 through wires. By controlling the switching of the components through the controller 25, the staff does not need to operate the switches of the electric telescopic rod 3, the auxiliary water pump 8 and other components one by one, which simplifies the operation steps and reduces the labor intensity. At the same time, centralized control can ensure that the operation sequence of each component is precisely coordinated, improving the working efficiency and operational stability of the equipment.
[0026] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0027] In use, first connect the electric telescopic rod 3, auxiliary water pump 8, solenoid valve 11, motor 12, metering pump 22, and intelligent controller 25 to the power supply, or use a battery power supply. Inject an appropriate amount of milk into the milk storage tank 2 through the milk inlet pipe 6. Set the single feeding amount according to the lamb's age, and set the parameters for the single milk discharge of the metering pump 22. Control the two sets of metering pumps 22 through the controller 25. The metering pump 22 draws the set dose of milk from the milk storage tank 2 and then delivers the milk to the milk storage boxes 20 on both sides of the base 1 through the delivery pipe 23. The lamb can then eat through the nipple 21 on one side of the milk storage box 20, achieving quantitative feeding. After feeding, operate the controller 25 again to control... The auxiliary water pump 8 in the water storage tank 7 is started. The auxiliary water pump 8 delivers clean water from the water storage tank 7 to the spray pipe 5 in the milk storage tank 2 through the water supply pipe 9. The clean water is sprayed out from the spray pipe 5 to rinse the inner wall of the milk storage tank 2. On the other hand, the two electric telescopic rods 3 on the inner wall of the milk storage tank 2 are extended and retracted. The extension and retraction ends of the electric telescopic rods 3 drive the scraper 4 to move up and down along the inner wall of the milk storage tank 2 to scrape off the residual milk on the inner wall and ensure thorough cleaning. The cleaning brush 26 is rotated by the motor 12 to clean the bottom of the tank. The waste liquid generated during the cleaning process can be discharged through the drain pipe 10 at the bottom of the milk storage tank 2 by the controller 25, which opens the solenoid valve 11 on the outer surface of the drain pipe 10. The waste liquid is discharged through the drain pipe 10 at the bottom of the milk storage tank 2, completing the entire cleaning process.
