Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ranch feeding equipment, specifically relating to a feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern animal husbandry, ranching is gradually transforming towards intensification, large-scale operation, and intelligentization. In traditional farming models, feeding operations mainly rely on manual labor, which not only consumes a large amount of labor but also leads to high labor costs. Although some ranches have introduced automated feeding equipment to alleviate these problems, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings. Common automated feeding systems often use belt conveyor structures combined with end-discharge methods. During operation, material easily adheres to the surface of the conveyor belt, especially on the return trip, where residual material returns with the belt and falls to the bottom of the equipment housing. This scattered material is difficult to clean up in a timely manner, and long-term accumulation makes it prone to dampness, mold, or bacterial growth. This not only wastes material resources but may also become a carrier for pathogens, threatening livestock health. In addition, material accumulation may also affect the normal operation of the equipment and increase maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, a feeding system is proposed to solve the technical problems of poor equipment cleanliness, hygiene hazards, and insufficient system reliability and maintainability of existing feeding systems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A feeding system includes a box body with a discharge port at one end. Inside the box body, a conveyor belt assembly and a chain scraper assembly are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The chain scraper assembly is arranged along the bottom surface of the box body and is used to convey the material remaining on the bottom surface of the box body to the discharge port.

[0005] The technical solution is further configured such that the running direction of the conveyor belt assembly is opposite to the running direction of the chain scraper assembly.

[0006] The technical solution is further configured such that the conveyor belt assembly includes a conveyor belt, which is respectively wound around a driving belt roller and a driven belt roller, and the driving belt roller is connected to the first driving element.

[0007] The technical solution is further configured such that the active belt roller and the driven belt roller adopt a concave arc structure, and a baffle is provided between the upper running section of the conveyor belt and the side wall of the box.

[0008] The technical solution is further configured such that the chain scraper assembly includes a chain, the chain is wound around a driving sprocket and a driven sprocket respectively, a plurality of scrapers are spaced apart on the chain, and the driving sprocket is connected to a second driving element for transmission.

[0009] The technical solution is further configured such that the extending direction of the scraper is perpendicular to the extending direction of the chain, and the extending direction of the conveyor belt is parallel to the extending direction of the chain.

[0010] The technical solution is further configured such that a wear-resistant plate is provided on the scraper. The technical solution is further configured such that two chain scraper assemblies are arranged at intervals, and the two chain scraper assemblies are synchronously linked, with the two ends of the scraper connected to different chains respectively.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The conveyor belt assembly and the chain scraper assembly are arranged in layers inside the box. The conveyor belt assembly can transport most of the material to the discharge port, while the chain scraper assembly can completely scrape off the material that falls to the bottom of the box and transport it to the discharge port, avoiding the deterioration and waste caused by long-term accumulation of material, improving material utilization, reducing ranch operating costs, and improving the hygiene level and operational reliability of the equipment.

[0014] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0016] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a feeding system is provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2 The system includes a housing 1, which is mounted on a self-propelled assembly. The housing 1 has a discharge port 2 at one end and a feed port at the top. Material enters the housing 1 through the feed port and exits through the discharge port 2. Specifically, the discharge port 2 is located on the bottom surface of the housing 1, which is mounted on a mobile frame.

[0017] To facilitate material transport, a conveyor belt assembly and a chain scraper assembly are sequentially arranged from top to bottom inside the housing 1. The chain scraper assembly is positioned along the bottom surface of the housing 1 to transport any material remaining on the bottom surface to the discharge port 2. The conveyor belt assembly and the chain scraper assembly are arranged in layers within the housing 1. The conveyor belt assembly transports most of the material to the discharge port 2, while the chain scraper assembly thoroughly scrapes away any material falling to the bottom of the housing 1 and transports it to the discharge port 2. This prevents material accumulation leading to spoilage and waste, improves material utilization, reduces farm operating costs, and enhances the hygiene and operational reliability of the equipment. Compared to existing technologies, this method fundamentally solves problems such as material adhesion to the conveyor belt, difficulty in cleaning scattered materials, and the impact of material accumulation on equipment operation in feeding systems.

[0018] The technical solution is further configured such that the running direction of the conveyor belt assembly is opposite to the running direction of the chain scraper assembly.

[0019] Specifically, the conveyor belt assembly runs clockwise, conveying most of the material to the discharge port 2; the chain scraper assembly runs counterclockwise, effectively conveying material falling from the upper running section of the conveyor belt 3, or material adhering to the lower return section of the conveyor belt 3 and falling to the discharge port 2.

[0020] In one feeding system of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The conveyor belt assembly includes a conveyor belt 3, which is wound around a drive belt roller 4 and a driven belt roller 5. The drive belt roller 4 is connected to a first drive element to realize independent drive control of the conveyor belt 3.

[0021] Specifically, the conveyor belt 3 extends along the length of the housing 1, and the driving belt roller 4 and the driven belt roller 5 both extend along the width of the housing 1. At the same time, several idlers are provided on the extension path of the conveyor belt 3.

[0022] In one feeding system of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2The driving belt roller 4 and the driven belt roller 5 adopt a concave arc structure, that is, the diameter at both ends of the roller body is larger than the diameter at the middle of the roller body. At the same time, a baffle plate 9 is provided between the upper running section of the conveyor belt 3 and the side wall of the box body 1.

[0023] The concave arc roller structure causes the edge of the conveyor belt 3 to be naturally pulled towards the two ends with a larger roller diameter when it is tensioned, forming a tight fit with the side wall of the box 1. Combined with the setting of the baffle plate 9, a "self-sealing" effect is formed, which effectively prevents the material from leaking into the bottom of the box 1 from the gap between the conveyor belt 3 and the side wall of the box 1.

[0024] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The baffle plate 9 is inclined and overlaps the upper running section of the conveyor belt 3. The baffle plate 9 is connected to the side wall of the box 1 through the connecting plate 13. The connecting plate 13 includes a vertical section and an inclined section. The vertical section is attached to and connected to the side wall of the box 1, and the inclined section is attached to and connected to the baffle plate 9.

[0025] In one feeding system of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The chain scraper assembly includes a chain 6, which is wound around a drive sprocket 7 and a driven sprocket 8 respectively. Several scrapers 11 are spaced apart on the chain 6. The drive sprocket 7 is connected to a second drive element for transmission, so as to realize independent control of the chain scraper assembly.

[0026] The first drive element controls the conveyor belt assembly, and the second drive element controls the chain scraper assembly. Both can be started, stopped, or have their speeds adjusted independently, facilitating intelligent control.

[0027] In one feeding system of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The extension direction of the scraper 11 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the chain 6, and the extension direction of the conveyor belt 3 is parallel to the extension direction of the chain 6. That is to say, the scraper 11 is arranged along the width direction of the box 1 to ensure that the scraper 11 can effectively cover the bottom width of the box 1 and completely remove residual materials.

[0028] In one feeding system of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The upper and lower surfaces of the scraper 11 are connected to wear-resistant plates 12 by screws. Specifically, the wear-resistant plates 12 protrude from the surface of the scraper 11. The wear-resistant plates 12 are made of high-hardness, wear-resistant materials (such as polyurethane, ceramics or wear-resistant steel), which effectively protects the scraper 11, greatly extends its service life, and reduces the frequency of replacement.

[0029] Specifically, multiple wear-resistant plates 12 are spaced apart along the length of the scraper 11, rather than being laid continuously. This spaced-out structure creates a "channel" for material to pass through during the operation of the scraper 11, preventing the formation of a completely sealed negative pressure zone between the scraper 11 and the bottom surface of the housing 1, reducing operating resistance, and preventing excessive accumulation of material at the scraper 11.

[0030] In one feeding system of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The chain scraper assemblies are arranged in two spaced-apart configurations. The driving sprockets 7 in the two chain scraper assemblies are connected by a driving sprocket shaft 10, and the driven sprockets 8 in the two chain scraper assemblies are connected by a driven sprocket shaft, achieving synchronous operation of the two chain scraper assemblies. The two ends of the scraper 11 are connected to different chains. The double-chain design enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the scraper 11, ensuring smooth operation, preventing skewing, jamming, or unilateral wear, and improving reliability and service life.

[0031] Specifically, the end of the scraper 11 is connected to the link of the chain 6. This connection structure can be achieved using conventional connection methods known in the art (e.g., see patent documents CN208814241U, CN205993331U, CN210538092U, CN221458988U, etc.), and the related technologies are mature and reliable. Since the connection method is not the focus of improvement in this technical solution, it will not be described in detail here.
