An integrated feed machine

Abstract

This application provides an integrated feed machine, including a pellet mill, a discharge pipe, a corrugated pipe, and a feed trough. The pelleted feed, extruded by the pellet mill, can be directionally conveyed through the discharge pipe and guided by the corrugated pipe, falling directly and accurately into the feed trough. The entire process eliminates the need for manual collection and transportation by farmers, significantly reducing their labor intensity. The upper plate and the cover of the feed trough form a semi-enclosed cavity. The opening size of the first feeding port at the top of the upper plate and the second feeding port at the top of the cover only allows the heads of chickens and ducks to enter and feed, preventing their bodies and claws from entering the trough, thus completely limiting their feeding behavior. The distribution cone at the bottom center of the cavity can evenly disperse the concentrated feed pellets to all sides, ensuring a stable feed supply below each feeding port and preventing chickens and ducks from competing for food. Furthermore, the cover can be quickly disassembled and adjusted through the magnetic attraction of the first and second magnetic rings, easily opening and closing the feeding channel to flexibly adapt to different feeding needs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feed machinery technology, and more particularly to an integrated feed machinery. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of livestock and poultry farming, feed preparation and feeding are key links. Traditional pellet feed machines are commonly used equipment for preparing pellet feed. Their main function is to form pellet feed by extruding various materials.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems: Traditional feed machines only realize the extrusion and forming of materials into pellet feed. The pellet feed after forming needs to be collected by additional receiving tools, such as basins and buckets. After collection, the pellet feed still needs to be manually transferred to the feeding trough for chickens, ducks and other livestock to eat, which increases the labor intensity of farmers and reduces the efficiency of feed feeding. At the same time, because chickens and ducks have a natural habit of scrambling for feed when eating, even if pelleted feed is poured into the feeding trough, their scrambling behavior will cause a large amount of feed to scatter from the feeding trough into the external environment. The scattered feed is difficult to clean up, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintaining the breeding environment, and also causes unnecessary waste of feed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated feed machine to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: This application provides an integrated feed machine, including a pellet mill and a feed trough. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the discharge port of the pellet mill. A corrugated pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge pipe away from the pellet mill. The discharge pipe and the corrugated pipe are internally connected. The end of the corrugated pipe away from the discharge pipe extends into the top opening of the feed trough. The feed trough includes a lower plate and an upper cover. The upper cover is detachably installed on the top of the lower plate. The corrugated pipe is located away from the discharge pipe and is placed in the opening at the top of the lower plate and the upper cover. The lower plate includes a lower plate body, and an upper plate body is integrally formed at the top of the lower plate body. The upper cover is detachably installed on the top of the lower plate body and the upper plate body. The upper plate body and the lower plate body are fitted together to form interconnected cavities. The top of the upper plate body has a first feeding port through an array, and the middle of the top of the upper plate body also has a first feed inlet through an array. The first feed inlet is connected to the cavity. The corrugated pipe passes through the opening at the top of the upper cover and extends into the first feed inlet.

[0006] In one embodiment, the upper cover includes a cover body, which is detachably installed on the top of the lower plate and the upper plate. A second feeding port is provided at the top of the cover body corresponding to the position of the first feeding port. A second feeding port is provided through the middle of the top of the cover body corresponding to the position of the first feeding port. The second feeding port is connected to the first feeding port. The corrugated pipe passes through the second feeding port and extends into the first feeding port.

[0007] In one embodiment, the upper plate is an arc-shaped structure, and the cover is an arc-shaped structure that matches the upper plate. When the cover is installed on the top of the lower plate, the cover is fitted onto the top of the upper plate.

[0008] In one embodiment, a first magnetic ring is provided on the outer edge of the top of the lower plate, avoiding the position of the upper plate, and a second magnetic ring is provided on the outer edge of the bottom of the cover, corresponding to the position of the first magnetic ring. The cover can be detachably installed on the top of the lower plate and the upper plate through the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic ring and the second magnetic ring.

[0009] In one embodiment, a material distribution cone is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the internal cavity of the upper and lower disc bodies, and the material distribution cone is located directly below the first and second feed inlets.

[0010] In one embodiment, the inner edges of both the first feeding opening and the second feeding opening are rounded.

[0011] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following: This application discloses an integrated feed machine, in which pelleted feed formed by extrusion through a pellet mill can be conveyed directly and accurately into the feed trough via a directional conveying pipe and a corrugated pipe. The entire process eliminates the need for manual collection and transportation by farmers, significantly reducing the labor intensity of farmers. The upper plate and the cover of the feed trough are fitted together to form a semi-closed cavity. The opening size of the first feeding port at the top of the upper plate and the second feeding port at the top of the cover is only large enough for the heads of chickens and ducks to reach in and eat. Their bodies and claws cannot enter the trough, which completely restricts their feeding behavior from a structural perspective. The feed cone at the bottom center of the cavity can evenly disperse the concentrated feed particles to all sides, ensuring a stable feed supply under each feeding opening and preventing chickens and ducks from fighting over food. In addition, the cover can be quickly disassembled and adjusted through the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic rings, easily opening and closing the feeding channel and flexibly adapting to different feeding needs.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-4 An integrated feed machine includes a pellet mill 1 and a feed trough 4. The pellet mill 1 is used to extrude the materials required for breeding into pellet feed, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0020] The discharge port of pellet mill 1 is fixedly connected to discharge pipe 2, which is used to provide a directional transmission channel for pellet feed and to transport the feed pellets extruded by pellet mill 1 to corrugated pipe 3.

[0021] A corrugated pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge pipe 2 away from the pellet mill 1. The discharge pipe 2 and the corrugated pipe 3 are internally connected. The end of the corrugated pipe 3 away from the discharge pipe 2 extends into the top opening of the feed trough 4. The corrugated pipe 3 is used to receive the feed pellets conveyed by the discharge pipe 2 and complete the discharge. At the same time, it can flexibly adjust its position by relying on its own flexible and extensible characteristics.

[0022] The feed trough 4 includes a lower plate 41 and an upper cover 42. The upper cover 42 is detachably installed on the top of the lower plate 41. The corrugated pipe 3 is located away from the discharge pipe 2 and is placed in the opening at the top of the lower plate 41 and the upper cover 42.

[0023] The feed trough 4 is used to receive feed pellets falling from the corrugated pipe 3, providing a feeding container for chickens and ducks; at the same time, through the cooperation structure of its lower plate 41 and upper cover 42, it restricts the activity space of chickens and ducks when feeding, and prevents feed from scattering due to the chickens and ducks' habit of picking at the feed.

[0024] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 The lower plate 41 includes a lower plate body 411, which provides fixed support for the upper plate body 412 and cooperates with the upper plate body 412 to form a cavity to realize the function of feed storage.

[0025] The lower plate 411 has an upper plate 412 integrally formed at the top. The upper cover 42 is detachably installed on the top of the lower plate 411 and the upper plate 412. The upper plate 412 is the mounting carrier for the first feeding port 413 and the first feed port 414. With the upper cover 42, the first feeding port 413 can be opened and closed.

[0026] The upper plate 412 and the lower plate 411 are connected to form a cavity. The cavity serves as a temporary storage space for feed, which is then fed to chickens and ducks through the first feeding port 413, thus avoiding the problem of feed spillage caused by direct exposure of the feed.

[0027] The top of the upper plate 412 has a through-hole first feeding port 413. The first feeding port 413 is used to provide a precise feeding channel for chickens and ducks. Its array setting can meet the needs of multiple chickens and ducks to feed at the same time. The opening only allows the heads of chickens and ducks to be inserted, which restricts their feeding behavior and reduces feed spillage from the structure.

[0028] The upper plate 412 has a first feed inlet 414 through the middle of the top. The first feed inlet 414 is connected to the cavity. The corrugated pipe 3 passes through the top opening of the upper cover 42 and extends into the first feed inlet 414. The first feed inlet 414 is used to guide the feed particles discharged by the corrugated pipe 3 into the cavity precisely.

[0029] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 6-7 The upper cover 42 includes a cover body 421, which is detachably installed on the top of the lower plate 411 and the upper plate 412. By adjusting the position of the cover body 421 on the lower plate 411 and the upper plate 412, the second feeding port 422 and the first feeding port 413 can be aligned or misaligned, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the feeding channel and flexibly adjusting the feeding status of chickens and ducks.

[0030] The top of the cover 421 has a second feeding opening 422 corresponding to the first feeding opening 413. When the second feeding opening 422 is aligned with the first feeding opening 413, a through feeding channel is formed, allowing the heads of chickens and ducks to pass through the second feeding opening 422 and the first feeding opening 413 in sequence to enter the cavity and eat. When the two are misaligned, the solid part of the cover 421 blocks the first feeding opening 413, closes the feeding channel, and prevents chickens and ducks from eating.

[0031] A second feed inlet 423 is provided at the top center of the cover 421, corresponding to the position of the first feed inlet 414. The second feed inlet 423 is connected to the first feed inlet 414. The corrugated tube 3 passes through the second feed inlet 423 and extends into the first feed inlet 414. The second feed inlet 423 is used to guide the corrugated tube 3 through the cover 421 and into the first feed inlet 414, ensuring that the feed pellets accurately enter the cavity.

[0032] The upper plate 412 has an arc-shaped structure, and the cover 421 has an arc-shaped structure that matches the upper plate 412. When the cover 421 is installed on the top of the lower plate 411, the cover 421 is fitted onto the top of the upper plate 412. The arc-shaped structure design allows the cover 421 to fit tightly against the surface of the upper plate 412, greatly reducing the gap between the two. This can prevent feed particles in the cavity from falling out of the gap and causing waste, and can also prevent chickens and ducks from sticking their beaks or claws into the gap and digging for feed. At the same time, the arc-shaped structure can also adapt to the natural movement trajectory of chickens and ducks when their heads are inserted into the feeding opening, reducing physical obstruction to their feeding actions.

[0033] The inner edges of the first feeding opening 413 and the second feeding opening 422 are rounded. The rounded corners are used to prevent the skin and feathers of the chickens and ducks from rubbing or colliding with the edge of the feeding opening when they stretch their heads to eat or retract their heads, thus protecting the physiological safety of the chickens and ducks. Meanwhile, rounded corners reduce physical obstruction to the feeding movements of chickens and ducks, making the head passage smoother, improving their feeding comfort, and ensuring that normal feeding behavior is not affected by the equipment structure.

[0034] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 7 A first magnetic ring 415 is provided on the top outer edge of the lower plate 411, avoiding the position of the upper plate 412. A second magnetic ring 424 is provided on the bottom outer edge of the cover 421, corresponding to the position of the first magnetic ring 415. The cover 421 can be detachably installed on the top of the lower plate 411 and the upper plate 412 through the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic ring 415 and the second magnetic ring 424. The first magnetic ring 415 is a ring structure and is completely embedded in the top outer edge of the lower plate 411, with its magnetic poles evenly distributed along the ring. The second magnetic ring 424 is completely matched with the first magnetic ring 415 in size and magnetic pole distribution, and its magnetic attraction strength is sufficient to fix the cover, while also facilitating manual disassembly.

[0035] When the feeding channel needs to be opened, the farmer first applies upward force to remove the cover 421 from the top of the lower plate 411; then observes the position of the second feeding port 422 of the cover 421 and the first feeding port 413 of the upper plate 412 above the lower plate 411, and manually adjusts the angle of the cover to make the second feeding port 422 and the first feeding port 413 completely aligned in the vertical direction. After alignment, the cover 421 is placed back on the top of the lower plate 411. At this time, the second magnetic ring 424 at the bottom of the cover 421 and the first magnetic ring 415 at the top of the lower plate 411 naturally attract each other, and the cover 421 is firmly fixed by magnetic attraction to prevent it from shifting. Finally, the second feeding port 422 and the first feeding port 413 are aligned to form a through feeding channel, and the chickens and ducks can feed normally. When it is necessary to close the feeding passage, the farmers first remove the cover 421, then adjust the angle of the cover so that the second feeding port 422 and the first feeding port 413 are completely offset in the vertical direction. Then, the cover 421 is placed back on the top of the lower plate 411, and the first magnetic ring 415 and the second magnetic ring 424 are attracted and fixed to the cover again. At this time, the solid part of the cover 421 covers the first feeding port 413, the feeding passage is closed, the chickens and ducks cannot put their heads in to eat, and it can also prevent external debris from falling into the cavity.

[0036] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 A material distribution cone 416 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the internal cavity of the upper plate 412 and the lower plate 411, and the material distribution cone 416 is located directly below the first feed port 414 and the second feed port 423. When the pelleted feed conveyed by the corrugated pipe 3 falls into the cavity from the first feed inlet 414 and the second feed inlet 423, it will directly hit the conical surface of the distribution cone 416. With the help of the inclined guiding effect of the cone surface, the feed pellets that originally fell to the center of the cavity are evenly dispersed to the surrounding area, so as to avoid the feed from accumulating and clumping in the bottom center of the cavity. At the same time, the dispersed feed can be evenly spread along the bottom of the cavity, so that each first feeding port 413 can be stably supplied with feed, ensuring that multiple chickens and ducks can get enough feed when they take food from different feeding ports, and avoiding the problem of fighting for food caused by uneven feed distribution.

[0037] Working principle: After the pellet mill 1 is started, it compresses the materials required for breeding into pellet feed. The pellet feed is directly fed into the discharge pipe 2 which is fixed to its discharge port. The discharge pipe 2 is then directionally transported to the corrugated pipe 3 which is fixed to the other end. The corrugated pipe 3 adjusts its position based on its flexible and extensible characteristics, so that the end away from the discharge pipe 2 is precisely inserted into the top opening of the feed trough 4, and the feed pellets are steadily fed into the feed trough 4. The entire process does not require manual transfer of feed.

[0038] The lower plate 411 of the feed trough 4 and the upper plate 412 integrally formed at the top form a cavity. After the pelleted feed falls into the cavity through the second feed inlet 423 at the top of the cover 421 and the first feed inlet 414 at the top of the upper plate 412, the feed distribution cone 416 in the middle of the bottom of the cavity guides the feed pellets that were originally concentrated in the middle to the surrounding area evenly, ensuring a stable feed supply below the first feed inlet 413 arrayed at the top of the upper plate 412.

[0039] At this time, the breeder adjusts the position of the cover 421 so that the second feeding port 422 at the top of the cover 421 is precisely aligned with the first feeding port 413. Then, the cover 421 is fixed by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic ring 415 at the top of the lower plate 411 and the second magnetic ring 424 at the bottom of the cover 421. Since the opening size of the first feeding port 413 and the second feeding port 422 only allows the heads of chickens and ducks to stick into the cavity to eat, while the bodies and claws of chickens and ducks cannot enter, their feeding behavior is structurally restricted to prevent feed from scattering. If feeding needs to be paused, simply remove the cover 421 and adjust its angle so that the second feeding port 422 is misaligned with the first feeding port 413. The solid part of the cover 421 will block the first feeding port 413, thus closing the feeding channel.
