Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of dairy cow feeding devices, specifically a feeding device for dairy cow farming. Background Technology

[0002] Early dairy farming relied mainly on manual feed mixing. Later, simple mixing devices appeared, the core function of which was to initially mix the concentrate feed to prevent dairy cows from being picky eaters. However, this stage could only achieve macro-mixing and could not control the uniformity of nutrient composition, let alone the ability to customize individual feeds. The precision remained at the level of uniform supply to the whole group. Uneven nutritional composition of feed during the dry period of dairy cows led to a high incidence of diseases such as postpartum paralysis and mastitis.

[0003] Meanwhile, a feeding device for dairy cows, with application number CN202122617817.1, includes a base, a feed trough, a feed bin, and a self-adjusting component. The upper surface of the base has an inwardly recessed groove. The feed trough is located within the groove, and its sidewalls slide in contact with the sidewalls of the groove. The feed bin is mounted on the base via a support rod, with a feed hopper connected to the top and a discharge port at the bottom. The self-adjusting assembly includes an elastic reset component, a piston channel, a pressure rod, a push rod, a fixed plate, and a swing plate. The fixed plate is installed inside the feed hopper. One end of the swing plate is hinged to the side wall of the feed hopper. When the other end of the swing plate contacts the fixed plate, the swing plate and the fixed plate separate the feed hopper. An adjustment groove is provided on the lower surface of the swing plate. An adjustment block is slidably installed in the adjustment groove. The adjustment block is hinged to one end of the push rod. The piston channel is U-shaped and fixedly installed in the groove. A first piston and a second piston are movably installed at both ends of the piston channel, respectively. One end of the pressure rod is fixedly connected to the first piston, and the other end extends movably to the outside of the piston channel and is fixedly connected to the feed trough. The other end of the push rod movably passes through the feed trough and the piston channel and is fixedly connected to the second piston. The elastic reset component is fixedly installed between the bottom of the feed trough and the groove.

[0004] However, the following problems were found in the implementation of the relevant technologies: most of the existing devices are still based on group formulas. Even if individual needs can be identified, it is difficult to achieve individual supplementation without interrupting the overall process. If therapeutic nutrients are to be added to sick cows, the device must be stopped and the feed mixed separately, which leads to a delay in subsequent dairy cow feeding.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a feeding device for dairy cow farming. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a feeding device for dairy cattle, which has the advantages of uniformly distributing the nutrients of different raw materials within the same volume, improving the overall milk production and health level, and allowing for the individual addition of specific nutrients to different groups such as calves, heifers, lactating cows, and dry cows.

A discharge pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the feed cylinder 2, a second motor 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mobile trolley 1, a connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 11, an auger 13 located inside the discharge pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 12, an auxiliary feed box 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mobile trolley 1, a feeding pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the auxiliary feed box 14, and the other end of the feeding pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 10.

[0025] Specifically, the lower end of the feeding pipe 15 is conical, and the feeding pipe 15 is installed at an angle in the opposite direction on the discharge pipe 10 to prevent the feed in the discharge pipe 10 from entering the feeding pipe 15.

[0026] Furthermore, a discharge valve 17 is provided at the connection between the discharge pipe 10 and the material cylinder 2 to control the discharge of material from the material cylinder 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the other end of the discharge pipe 10 is fixedly connected to a discharge port 16 for discharging feed.

[0028] It is worth noting that a support rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the discharge pipe 10, and the other end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the moving trolley 1 to support the discharge pipe 10 and improve the stability of the discharge pipe 10.

[0029] It is worth noting that a sealing cover is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the auxiliary material box 14, which is used to seal and cover the auxiliary material box 14, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sealing cover.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the mobile trolley 1 includes a handrail 19 and a set of wheels 18. The set of wheels 18 includes locking swivel wheels and locking directional wheels, which are used for moving and locking the equipment. The outer surface of the handrail 19 is fixedly connected with a protective cover. The handrail 19 is used by the staff to control the trolley.

[0031] The mobile trolley 1, material cylinder 2, first motor 4, second motor 11, and discharge valve 17 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switches, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The "front, rear, left, and right" perspectives of this device are... Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.

[0032] Working principle: In use, the different feeds required by each dairy cow are first put into the feed cylinder 2 according to the formula. Then, the first motor 4 is started, which drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate. The rotating rod 5 drives the spiral wing 9 and the mixing blade 6 to rotate. The spiral wing 9 drives the material to form a spiral in the feed cylinder 2, which, together with the mixing blade 6, achieves horizontal and vertical shearing and mixing, so that the different feeds are fully integrated and evenly dispersed. The feed is evenly mixed in the feed cylinder 2. After the mixing is completed, the operator pushes the mobile cart 1 to feed the cow. The feed cylinder 2 is controlled to discharge through the discharge valve 17. The feed is discharged from the feed cylinder 2 through the discharge valve 17 and conveyed through the discharge pipe 10. At the same time, the second motor 11 drives the connecting rod 12 to rotate. When the connecting rod 12 drives the auger 13, the auger 13 rotates inside the discharge pipe 10. The spiral action of the auger 13 sends the material out of the discharge pipe 10 and discharges the feed into the feeding trough through the discharge port 16, ensuring continuous feed output. When different dairy cows need different nutrients, the nutrients required by a single dairy cow are put into the auxiliary feed box 14. The nutrients added separately in the auxiliary feed box 14 are transported to the discharge pipe 10 through the feeding pipe 15. After the separately added nutrients enter the discharge pipe 10, they are mixed with other feed due to the spiral action of the auger 13 and then put into the feeding trough, thereby providing the individual dairy cow with the required nutrients.
