Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for an ostrich feeding hopper, including a box body 110. A fixing component is installed on one side of the box body 110. Multiple discharge ports are provided at the bottom of one side of the box body 110. A circular groove 111 is provided at the bottom of the discharge port. A hopper body 120 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the circular groove 111. A partition 121 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hopper body 120. A driving component is installed at the bottom of the hopper body 120. A limiting component matching the hopper body 120 is provided at the top of the inner wall of the discharge port. A stirring component is installed inside the box body 110.

[0021] In some specific implementations, the fixing components include brackets 130, threaded rods 131, and extrusion discs 132. Brackets 130 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the housing 110. The brackets 130 are L-shaped. A horizontal plate 133 is fixedly installed between the two brackets 130. Threaded rods 131 are installed on the horizontal plate 133. The extrusion disc 132 and a fixed rotating disc are respectively rotatably mounted at both ends of the threaded rod 131. The threaded rod 131 is threaded through the horizontal plate 133, and the horizontal plate 133 has threaded holes that match the threaded rod 131. Through the cooperation of the L-shaped brackets 130 and the horizontal plate 133, the housing 110 can be hung on a fence. Rotating the threaded rod 131 causes the extrusion disc 132 to press against the fence, achieving rapid fixing of the equipment. This adapts to fence structures of different sizes, enhancing installation flexibility. The threaded connection between the threaded rod 131 and the horizontal plate 133 allows adjustment of the tightness of the extrusion disc 132, ensuring a secure and stable fixation.

[0022] In some specific implementations, the mixing assembly includes a first rotating shaft 140, mixing rods 141, and a first servo motor 142. The first rotating shaft 140 is rotatably mounted between the two sides of the inner wall of the housing 110. Multiple mixing rods 141 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the first rotating shaft 140. The first servo motor 142 is mounted on one end of the first rotating shaft 140 and is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the housing 110. The output end of the first servo motor 142 passes through one side of the housing 110 and is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 140. A protective cover is installed on the outer side of the first servo motor 142. This prevents feed from clumping and ensures uniform nutrient distribution. The multi-angle arrangement of the mixing rods 141 can cover all areas inside the housing 110, improving mixing efficiency. The protective cover can protect the first servo motor 142 from feed dust corrosion and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0023] Please see Figures 4-7The drive assembly includes a second servo motor 150, a second rotating shaft 151, and a third rotating shaft 152. A cavity is provided inside the side wall of the housing 110. The second rotating shaft 151 is rotatably mounted on one side of the inner wall of the cavity. The second servo motor 150 is mounted on one end of the second rotating shaft 151. Multiple first bevel gears are fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft 151. Multiple third rotating shafts 152 are rotatably mounted on the top of the inner wall of the cavity. The second bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the third rotating shaft 152. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed and connected. The top end of the third rotating shaft 152 passes through the top end of the inner wall of the cavity and is fixedly mounted on a cross block 153. The bottom end of the hopper body 120 is provided with a cross groove that matches the cross block 153. The cross block 153 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the circular groove 111. The second servo motor 150 is fixedly mounted on one side of the cavity. The output end of the second servo motor 150 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 151. This structure enables the synchronous rotation of multiple hopper bodies 120, precisely controlling the timing and angle of feed discharge. Combined with the partition 121, it quantitatively carries out feed, avoiding waste. The limiting component includes a clamping plate 160 and a spring 161. A groove is provided at the top of the inner wall of the discharge port, and springs 161 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the groove. The clamping plate 160 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the springs 161, and its bottom is slidably connected to the top of the hopper body 120. The clamping plate 160 is also slidably connected to the groove and the inner wall of the discharge port. The spring 161 pushes the clamping plate 160 against the top of the hopper body 120, providing downward pressure when the hopper rotates, preventing the hopper body 120 from swaying up and down and ensuring rotational stability. The clamping plate 160 slides against the inner wall of the discharge port, guiding the hopper body 120 to rotate along a predetermined trajectory, preventing deviation.

[0024] In some specific implementations, the bottom end of the hopper body 120 is engaged with the cross block 153 via a cross groove, and at this time, half of the hopper body 120 extends to the outside of the box 110. The engagement of the hopper body 120 with the cross block 153 via the cross groove, and the fact that half of it extends to the outside of the box 110, facilitates direct pecking by the ostrich, reducing the time the feed is exposed to the outside environment and lowering the risk of contamination. The engaging structure also allows the hopper body 120 to be disassembled without tools, improving maintenance convenience.

[0025] In some specific implementation schemes, the bottom of the inner wall of the box 110 is inclined. The inclined bottom of the inner wall of the box 110 can use gravity to automatically gather the feed towards the discharge port, avoid feed residue in the corners of the box, improve the smoothness of discharge, and reduce the amount of manual cleaning.

[0026] In some specific implementations, a guide rod 162 is fixedly mounted on the top of the clamping plate 160, and a guide groove matching the guide rod 162 is provided at the top of the inner wall of the slide groove. The guide rod 162 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. The guide rod 162 can limit the displacement range of the clamping plate 160 and prevent the spring 161 from being damaged due to excessive compression.

[0027] Working principle: During operation, the box 110 is first fixed by the bracket 130 of the fixing component. The bracket 130 is then placed on the fence, and the threaded rod 131 is rotated to make the extrusion plate 132 press against one side of the fence to complete the fixation. After the feed is put into the box 110, the first servo motor 142 is started, which drives the first rotating shaft 140 and the stirring rod 141 to rotate, stirring the feed and preventing clumping. Because the bottom of the inner wall of the box 110 is inclined, the feed will gather towards the discharge port. When it is necessary to discharge, the second servo motor 150 is started, which drives the second rotating shaft 151 to rotate. The first bevel gear on the second rotating shaft 151 meshes with the second bevel gear at the bottom of the third rotating shaft 152, causing the third rotating shaft 152 to rotate. The cross block 153 at the top of the third rotating shaft 152 drives the hopper body 120 to rotate 180° within the circular groove 111. When the hopper body 120 rotates, the partition 121 carries the feed out from the outlet. At the same time, the clamp 160 of the limiting component presses against the top of the hopper body 120 under the action of the spring 161, and the guide rod 162 slides in the guide groove to ensure that the hopper body 120 rotates stably. When half of the hopper body 120 with feed rotates to the outside of the box 110, it is fed to the ostrich.

[0028] When the hopper body 120 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, simply lift the hopper body 120 to move the clamping plate 160 upwards until the spring 161 compresses it, and at the same time the hopper body 120 disengages from the cross block 153 for disassembly and replacement.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
