Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to feeding equipment technical field, especially in a kind of feeding device of forage hopper. BACKGROUND

[0002] In scale breeding industry, livestock is mostly fed with feed. At present, quantitative feed is put by using automatic feeding equipment, but the food intake of each livestock is unstable, sometimes more and sometimes less, or some livestock eat more, and some livestock eat less. When feeding automatically, the feeding amount is prone to be too much or too little compared with the food intake of livestock. If too much feed is put, livestock cannot finish eating, which can lead to waste of feed soaked in water, and manual cleaning is needed, which is troublesome.

[0003] The invention patent with the application publication number CN108012944A specifically discloses a pig free-feeding dry and wet feed trough. As can be known from the description of the comparative document, paragraphs

[0028] to

[0029] and the drawings, the trough stores feed in a storage cylinder for pigs to freely feed, thereby reducing the labor time for multiple discharging. The structure of the discharging mechanism and the control mechanism can control the gap width between the baffle and the bottom plate, thereby controlling the discharging amount of the feed in the storage cylinder. The control mechanism lifts the outer end of the food arching rod (i.e., the end opposite to the swing rod) to a certain height and limits the height, so that the food arching rod rotates and drives the baffle to rotate, thereby changing the gap (i.e., the discharging port) between the baffle and the bottom plate from a closed state to a gradually open state, and gradually increasing the discharging speed of the feed in the storage cylinder, so as to control the discharging amount of the feed.

[0004] However, it is known that, because the amount of feed in the storage cylinder is large and the gravity of the feed acts on the baffle and the bottom plate, it is laborious to open the gap between the baffle and the bottom plate. After the baffle is opened, the discharging speed of the feed is too fast due to the gravity of the feed, which results in too large single discharging amount. When the gap between the baffle and the bottom plate is closed, the gap between the baffle and the bottom plate is filled with feed, and it is difficult to close the baffle because the feed is in a granular form and the resistance between the feed and the feed is large (the surface of the feed is rough).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The specific embodiments of the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings.It needs to be explained here that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the utility model.In addition, the technical features involved in each embodiment of the utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0018] Embodiment 1 As shown in the accompanying Figures 1-3As shown, the feeding device provided in this embodiment includes a housing 1, a partition 2, a first baffle 3, and a feeding mechanism 4.

[0019] As attached Figures 1-3 As shown, the top and bottom of the shell 1 are respectively formed with an upper opening 11 and a lower opening 12; the upper opening 11 is used for feeding in, and the lower opening 12 is used for discharging feed.

[0020] As attached Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper end of the partition 2 is located inside the shell 1, and the lower end of the partition 2 is located outside the shell 1. The partition 2 divides the lower opening 12 into two feeding ports 121, so that feed can be discharged from the two feeding ports 121 on both sides of the partition 2, forming a two-sided discharge, which makes it easier for more livestock to eat.

[0021] As attached Figures 1-3 As shown, the first baffle 3 is located above the partition 2. Both ends of the first baffle 3 are fixed to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the housing 1, preferably by welding. The first baffle 3 is used to hold the feed in place and bear its weight. The first baffle 3 includes two fixedly connected inclined plates 31, which are distributed left and right around the partition 2. The two inclined plates 31 form feed inlets 32 between themselves and the inner walls of the left and right sides of the housing 1. The two inclined plates 31 guide the feed to the two feed inlets 32. Specifically, the feed inlets 32 are tapered from top to bottom, similar to a funnel, forming a funnel-shaped discharge, thereby reducing the discharge speed and the amount of feed discharged per unit time, thus reducing the corresponding feed weight.

[0022] As attached Figures 1-3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 is installed at the feed inlet 32. There are two sets of feeding mechanisms 4, which are distributed left and right around the partition 2. The feeding mechanism 4 carries the feed flowing out of the feed inlet 32, thereby controlling whether the feed is discharged from the feed inlet 32, and finally the feed is discharged from the feed inlets 121 on both sides of the partition 2.

[0023] In summary, in this embodiment, the two ends of the first baffle 3 are fixed to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the housing 1, respectively. The first baffle 3 is used to hold the feed in place and bear its weight. The first baffle 3 includes two inclined plates 31 fixedly connected to each other, which are distributed left and right around the partition 2. The two inclined plates 31 form feed inlets 32 between themselves and the inner walls of the left and right sides of the housing 1, respectively. The two inclined plates 31 are used to guide the feed to the two feed inlets 32. The feeding mechanism 4 is installed at the feed inlets 32 and carries the feed flowing out of the feed inlets 32. The feeding mechanism 4 controls whether the feed is fed through the feed inlets 32. Reducing the feeding speed at the feed inlets 32 reduces the amount of feed fed per unit time, thereby reducing the corresponding feed weight, reducing the load and interference on the feeding mechanism 4, and ensuring that opening and closing the feeding mechanism 4 is relatively easy and effortless.

[0024] In some embodiments, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a limiting plate 41, an arching plate 42, and a limiting component 43. The limiting plate 41 is an arc-shaped plate located below the feed outlet 32. Both ends of the limiting plate 41 are fixed to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the housing 1, preferably by welding. The limiting plate 41 restricts the direction of the feed flowing out of the feed outlet 32. A discharge port 44 is formed between the left side of the limiting plate 41 and the inclined plate 31, for the discharge of feed. The arching plate 42 is swayably mounted on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the housing 1 via a swing rod 46. The arching plate 42 includes a pushing part 421 and an arching part 422, which are connected and fixed together. The pushing part 421 is located between the feed outlet 32 ​​and the limiting plate 41, and a receiving groove 45 is formed between the pushing part 421 and the limiting plate 41. The feed flowing down from the feed outlet 32 ​​presses on the pushing part 421, causing the arching plate 42 to swing and the receiving groove 45 to expand, further allowing the feed to remain in the receiving groove 45. One side of the pushing part 421 is close to the surface of the limiting plate 41, so that the feed remains stably in the receiving groove 45, preventing the feed from flowing out from the gap between the pushing part 421 and the limiting plate 41. The upper end of the arching part 422 is fixedly connected to the other side of the pushing part 421. Preferably, the pushing part 421 and the arching part 422 are integrally bent and formed. When feed is pressed against the pusher part 421, causing it to swing, the arching part 422 swings accordingly, causing the arching plate 42 to swing. The lower end of the arching part 422 passes through the feed inlet 121 and is located outside the housing 1, making it easy for livestock to arch the arching part 422 with their noses. The limiting component 43 is used to limit the swing stroke of the arching plate 42, thereby preventing the pusher part 421 from disengaging from the limiting plate 41, and thus preventing feed from leaking out from the gap between the pusher part 421 and the limiting plate 41, so that a receiving groove 45 is always formed between the pusher part 421 and the limiting plate 41.

[0025] For details, see attached. Figure 3 As shown, the feed flowing down from the feed outlet 32 ​​presses against the pusher 421, causing the pusher 421 to swing. The arching part 422 swings along with it, causing the arching plate 42 to swing and the receiving trough 45 to expand, further allowing the feed to remain in the receiving trough 45. When the livestock arches the arching part 422, it causes the pusher 421 to return to its original position, the receiving trough 45 to shrink, and the pusher 421 pushes the feed in the receiving trough 45 to flow out from the discharge outlet 44 and finally out from the discharge port 121. This cycle repeats, allowing the livestock to select the amount of feed to receive as needed.

[0026] Among them, as attached Figure 3As shown, it should be noted that when the livestock pushes the pushing part 422, the pushing part 422 will abut against the right side of the limiting plate 41, thereby limiting the reset stroke of the pushing part 421, further limiting the amount of feed flowing out from the discharge port 44, ensuring that the amount of feed pushed out by the livestock each time remains constant, achieving small amounts multiple times, more precise control of feed feeding amount, and avoiding feed waste.

[0027] Further details are attached. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting plate 41 is inclined from the inclined plate 31 toward the arched part 422, thereby ensuring that the receiving groove 45 formed between the pushing part 421 and the limiting plate 41 is deep enough to catch the feed flowing down from the discharge port 32. Furthermore, in the vertical direction, the left side of the limiting plate 41 is located below the inclined plate 31, further ensuring that the feed flowing down from the discharge port 32 flows directly into the receiving groove 45, preventing the feed from flowing uncontrollably from the discharge port 32 to the outlet 44.

[0028] It should be noted that because the feed is in pellet form and the resistance between feed particles is relatively large, and the feed inlet 32 ​​and the discharge outlet 44 are relatively narrow, once the feed is stably stationary in the receiving trough 45, all feed stops flowing and will not flow out of the discharge outlet 44.

[0029] Further details are attached. Figure 1 As shown, the limiting component 43 is disposed outside the housing 1. The limiting component 43 includes a limiting member 431 and a swing member 432. The limiting member 431 can be fixed to the outer wall of at least one of the front and rear sides of the housing 1. One end of the swing member 432 is fixedly connected to one end of the swing rod 46, and the other end of the swing member 432 can abut against the limiting member 431. The swing member 432 is perpendicular to the swing rod 46. After the feed passes through the feed inlet 32 ​​and flows into the receiving trough 45, when the other end of the swing member 432 abuts against the limiting member 431, the swing member 432 and the swing rod 46 are restricted from swinging, thereby limiting the swing stroke of the arching plate 42.

[0030] It should be noted that the swing arm 46 is fixed to the connection between the arching part 422 and the pushing part 421 by welding, which can reduce the swing range of the pushing part 421 and the size of the receiving trough 45, and further reduce the amount of feed fed.

[0031] In some embodiments, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the feeder also includes a second baffle 5. There are two second baffles 5, which are fixed to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the housing 1 respectively. The two second baffles 5 are distributed left and right with the partition 2 as the center. The second baffles 5 are tubular and are also used to hold the feed and bear the weight of the feed.

[0032] As attached Figure 3As shown, the second baffle 5 is located above and close to the swing arm 46 to avoid interference with the swing arm 46's swing and damage to the feed caused by the feed approaching the swing arm 46. The second baffle 5 and the inclined plate 31 form a feed outlet 32, further reducing the width of the feed outlet 32 ​​and decreasing the amount of feed fed.

[0033] Additionally, as attached Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the feeder also includes a frame 6, which is fixed to the housing 1 and surrounds the arched feed plates 42 on the left and right sides of the partition 2, thus limiting the arched feed plates 42 and preventing them from being damaged by livestock and causing them to overturn.

[0034] Example 2 As attached Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding device including a feeder described in Embodiment 1, a feed storage cylinder 7, and feed troughs 8 disposed on the left and right sides at the lower end of the partition 2. The feed storage cylinder 7 is installed at the upper opening 11 of the housing 1, and the feed troughs 8 are provided with dividing bars 9. The feed storage cylinder 7 is used to store feed and supply feed to the feeder. The feed falls into the feed troughs 8 from the discharge port 121, facilitating feeding of livestock. The dividing bars 9 facilitate dividing the feed troughs 8 into sections, preventing weaker livestock from being restricted from feeding due to stronger livestock dominating the feed troughs 8.

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
