Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to livestock and poultry breeding machinery and equipment, and more particularly to a poultry feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] For breeding chickens, it is essential to strictly control their daily feed intake, employing quantitative and restricted feeding to ensure robust growth and vigorous egg production. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN102499119A discloses a quantitative feeder for breeding chickens, comprising a feed hopper, feed tray, feed funnel, feed pipe, and sealing ball. The feed pipe features a telescopic structure with a metering skirt at its bottom to adjust feed quantity. During use, the user adjusts the height of the metering skirt by pulling a rope to ensure accurate feed measurement. However, in practical applications, because the metering skirt needs to move up and down the feed hopper to adjust its height, uneven rope tension can easily cause the metering skirt to tilt and become stuck in the hopper, resulting in low reliability. Furthermore, when the metering skirt tilts, the amount of feed between the downward-tilting end and the feed funnel decreases, while the upward-tilting end may not be fully filled, leading to inaccurate feed addition and reduced metering accuracy of the breeding chicken quantitative feeder. Therefore, how to design a technology to improve operational smoothness and provide measurement accuracy is the technical problem that this utility model aims to solve. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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 protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," which indicate directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, the poultry feeding equipment in this embodiment includes: Material bucket 1, the top of the material bucket 1 is provided with a connecting seat 11, the connecting seat 11 is provided with a feeding port 111 and a mounting hole 112, and the connecting seat 11 is also provided with a locking member 12; The material discharge hopper 2 is provided with a material discharge port 21 and is located at the bottom of the material bucket 1; Material tray 3 is disposed at the bottom of the material bucket 1 and is located below the material discharge funnel 2; The carrying tray 4 is provided with a through opening 41 and a support rod 42. The carrying tray 4 is slidably disposed in the material bucket 1. The support rod 42 passes through the mounting hole 112. The locking member 12 is configured to restrict the position of the support rod 42. A sealing ball 5 is disposed in the material barrel 1 and configured to open or close the through opening 41 of the carrying tray 4.

[0024] Specifically, a support tray 4 is provided in the feed hopper 1. The area between the support tray 4 and the connecting seat 11 in the feed hopper 1 is used as the feed metering area to achieve metered feed supply. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the support tray 4, the height of the support tray 4 in the feed hopper 1 can be adjusted by applying a pushing or pulling force to the support rod 42 extending outside the connecting seat 11.

[0025] Furthermore, during the adjustment of the carrying pallet 4, the carrying pallet 4 is effectively supported by the support rod 42. The support rod 42 is rigidly connected to the carrying pallet 4, so that the carrying pallet 4 maintains a stable posture in the material bucket 1 and will not tilt due to uneven force.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the carrying tray 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the material bucket 1.

[0027] Specifically, since the outer peripheral wall of the support tray 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the feed hopper 1, quantitative feeding can be carried out through the space formed between the support tray 4 and the connecting seat 11 in the feed hopper 1. Specifically, the sealing ball 5 covers the through-hole 41 of the support tray 4, so that feed can be fed into the feed hopper 1 from the feeding port provided on the connecting seat 11. Since the outer peripheral wall of the support tray 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the feed hopper 1, the feed will not leak from between the support tray 4 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 1 during the feeding process. Furthermore, the support tray 4 can always remain horizontal after adjustment. In this way, the feeding amount can be precisely controlled by controlling the height of the support tray 4, thereby improving the accuracy of measurement.

[0028] In one embodiment, the support tray 4 is provided with two parallel support rods 42, and the through opening 41 is located between the two support rods 42.

[0029] Specifically, to provide more effective and reliable support for the carrying pallet 4, two parallel support rods 42 are provided on the carrying pallet 4, and the support rods 42 are distributed on both sides of the through opening 41. Correspondingly, the connecting seat 11 is provided with two mounting holes 112 to meet the installation requirements of the support rods 42 respectively. The two support rods 42 can provide support force to the carrying pallet 4 more smoothly. The two support rods 42 are lifted simultaneously from the outside to ensure that the carrying pallet 4 can rise and move smoothly.

[0030] The two support rods 42 can move synchronously by the operator pushing and pulling them simultaneously with both hands; alternatively, a synchronizing rod can be fixedly connected between the two support rods 42. For example, the synchronizing rod can be welded between the two support rods 42, forming an inverted U-shaped structure. In this way, during adjustment, the operator can pull the synchronizing rod to simultaneously pull the support rods 42 on both sides.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, as Figures 7-10 As shown, the locking member 12 is a locking bolt, and the connecting seat 11 is also provided with a locking boss 113. The side wall of the locking boss 113 is provided with a threaded hole, and the locking bolt is threaded into the threaded hole. The locking bolt abuts against the side wall of the support rod 42.

[0032] Specifically, the locking boss 113 is used to install the locking bolt horizontally. The locking bolt is rotated so that it abuts against the support rod 42 to lock the support rod 42.

[0033] The mounting hole 112 also penetrates the locking boss 113, and the threaded hole communicates with the mounting hole 112. Thus, rotating the locking bolt causes its head to extend into the mounting hole 112 and press against the support rod 42, thereby achieving the locking operation.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, as Figures 1-6 As shown, a support frame 114 is also provided on the connecting seat 11, a drive shaft 115 is provided on the support frame 114, and a drive gear 116 is provided on the drive shaft 115. A rack structure 421 is formed on the support rod 42, and the drive gear 116 meshes with the rack structure 421.

[0035] Specifically, in order to facilitate the operator to adjust the height of the carrying tray 4, a support frame 114 is provided on the connecting seat 11 to install the drive shaft 115. A drive gear 116 is provided on the drive shaft 115. During the rotation of the drive shaft 115, the support rod 42 moves up and down by meshing with the rack structure 421 through the drive gear 116.

[0036] In one embodiment, the carrying tray 4 is provided with two parallel support rods 42, and the through opening 41 is located between the two support rods 42; The connecting seat 11 is provided with two support frames 114, and each support frame 114 is provided with a drive shaft 115. The gear on the drive shaft 115 meshes with the rack structure 421 on the corresponding support rod 42.

[0037] Specifically, the two support rods 42 on the carrying tray 4 are driven by corresponding drive gears 116 to ensure that the carrying tray 4 slides smoothly up and down.

[0038] In one embodiment, the drive shafts 115 on the two support frames 114 are an integral structure. Specifically, an integral drive shaft 115 is provided between the two support frames 114 to enable the support rods 42 on both sides to move up and down synchronously.

[0039] Alternatively, the drive shafts 115 on the two support frames 114 can be connected together by a connecting shaft 117. Specifically, the connecting shaft 117 connects the two drive shafts 115, thereby enabling the two drive shafts 115 to rotate synchronously.

[0040] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the support rod 42 is L-shaped, and the support frame 114 is provided with a guide hole 110, which is L-shaped. The support rod 42 is inserted into the guide hole 110.

[0041] Specifically, the cross-section of the support rod 42 is L-shaped, and correspondingly, an L-shaped guide hole 110 is provided on the support frame 114. The guide hole 110 can provide good support and guidance for the support rod 42.

[0042] In one embodiment, a rotating handle 118 is further provided on the drive shaft 115, and a locking member 12 is further provided on the support frame 114. The locking member 12 is configured to restrict the rotation of the rotating handle 118 after the rotating handle 118 is rotated to the correct position.

[0043] Specifically, a rotating handle 118 is provided on the drive shaft 115, and the operator can apply a torsional force to the rotating handle 118 to drive the drive shaft 115 to rotate in both directions.

[0044] In one embodiment, a gear 119 is provided on the rotating handle 118, and the locking member 12 is rotatably disposed on the support frame 114. A spring (not shown) is also provided between the locking member 12 and the support frame 114. The spring is configured to apply a spring force to the locking member 12 in the direction of rotation toward the gear 119. The free end of the locking member 12 is engaged with the gear 119.

[0045] Specifically, the free end of the locking member 12 is engaged with the gear disc 119. When the rotating handle 118 is not under force, the locking member 12 will be engaged in the tooth groove of the gear disc 119 to position the gear disc 119, thereby keeping the height of the carrying pallet 4 in the material bucket 1 unchanged. When the user applies a torsional force to the rotating handle 118, the gear disc 119 rotates to push open the locking member 12, thereby adjusting the height position of the carrying pallet 4.

[0046] Furthermore, during the rotation of the toothed disc 119, the tooth structure between the locking element 12 and the toothed disc 119 produces a crisp impact sound. The operator can further calculate the adjustment height of the support rod 42 based on the number of impact sounds, so as to achieve blind operation in the case of poor lighting in the chicken house.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a vertically sliding support tray in the material hopper, and supporting the support tray with a support rod, the support tray can move smoothly up and down in the material hopper under the support of the support rod after an upward or downward pushing or pulling force is applied to the support rod. This reduces the occurrence of the support tray tilting and jamming due to force tilting. The cooperation between the support rod and the mounting hole provides a stable guiding effect for the vertical movement of the support tray, effectively avoiding the tilting and jamming problems caused by uneven tension, ensuring smooth operation of the support tray during adjustment, and significantly improving the reliability of the equipment.

[0048] Meanwhile, during the up-and-down movement of the pallet, the support rods provide effective support to ensure that the pallet maintains a stable posture and does not tilt. The volume control of the storage space between the pallet and the connecting seat is more precise, which is more conducive to meeting the requirements of accurate material supply.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
