Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken farming is an agricultural production activity that involves artificially raising and breeding chickens to obtain meat, eggs, and other products. Feeding devices are needed to feed the chickens during chicken farming.

[0003] However, existing chicken feeding devices lack a stratified feeding mechanism. When large chickens and chicks share the same feeding area, due to the size advantage and strong feeding competition of large chickens, on the one hand, chicks will be pecked by large chickens while competing for food, causing stress-induced feeding inhibition; on the other hand, chicks are too small to compete with large chickens, which leads to insufficient nutrient intake for chicks. To address this, we propose an automatic feeding device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an automatic feeding device that solves the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An automatic feeding device includes a feeding platform with multiple fixed crossbars fixedly connected to its four sides. Multiple inlets and outlets are provided at the bottom of each of the four sides of the feeding platform. A circular opening is provided in the center of the feeding platform. A storage cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular opening. A guide frustum is fixedly connected inside the storage cylinder. Multiple discharge ports are provided on the side of the discharge cylinder. A guide frustum is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage cylinder. A storage cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide frustum. A feeding assembly is provided above the feeding platform.

[0006] A further improvement of the present invention is that the feeding assembly includes a feeding box, and two curved rods are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the feeding box, with one end of the curved rods fixedly connected to the top surface of the feeding platform.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a transparent window is provided on the front end face of the feeding box, and a timer is fixedly connected to the front end face of the feeding box.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a feeding pipe communicating with the interior of the feeding box is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feeding box, and an electromagnetic valve is provided on the surface of the feeding pipe.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the top surface of the feeding box, the feeding pipe is connected to the interior of the feeding box, and a threaded cap is threadedly connected to the top surface of the feeding pipe.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that all four sides of the feeding platform are inclined.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an automatic feeding device, which has the following advantages: This utility model proposes an automatic feeding device that enables automatic feeding via a feeding component. Feed is fed into a first storage hopper. When the amount of feed in the first storage hopper reaches the feed inlet, it falls into a second storage hopper for storage. Adult chickens ascend the feeding platform via a fixed crossbar and consume the feed in the first storage hopper. Chicks enter the feeding platform through the inlet and outlet and consume the feed in the second storage hopper. This allows for separate feeding of adult and chicks, preventing chicks from being pecked by adult chickens and ensuring adequate feed intake for chicks, thus improving the device's practicality.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0018] Example 1 like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device, including a feeding platform 5. Multiple fixed crossbars 6 are fixedly connected to the four sides of the feeding platform 5. Multiple inlets and outlets 7 are opened at the bottom of the four sides of the feeding platform 5. A circular opening is opened in the middle of the feeding platform 5. A storage cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular opening. A guide frustum 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage cylinder 8. Multiple discharge ports 9 are opened on the side of the storage cylinder 8. A guide frustum 2 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the storage cylinder 8. A storage cylinder 2 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the guide frustum 2 13. A feeding component is arranged above the feeding platform 5.

[0019] Specifically, during use, the feeding component enables automatic and timed feeding. During feeding, the feed is dispersed into the storage cylinder 8 through the guide frustum 10. When the feed in the storage cylinder 8 accumulates to the position of the feed inlet 9, the feed falls into the storage cylinder 14 for storage. When the chickens are feeding, the adult chickens go up to the top of the feeding platform 5 through the fixed crossbar 6 and eat through the feed inside the storage cylinder 8, while the chicks enter the feeding platform 5 through the inlet 7 and eat through the feed inside the storage cylinder 14. This allows adult chickens and chicks to eat separately, preventing chicks from being pecked by adult chickens because they cannot compete with them, and also preventing insufficient feed intake from affecting the development of chicks, thus improving practicality.

[0020] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a feeding box 1. Two curved rods 4 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the feeding box 1. One end of the curved rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the feeding platform 5. A transparent window is provided on the front end of the feeding box 1. A timer 3 is fixedly connected to the front end of the feeding box 1. A discharge pipe 11 communicating with the interior of the feeding box 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feeding box 1. A solenoid valve 12 is provided on the surface of the discharge pipe 11. A feeding pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the feeding box 1. The feeding pipe 2 communicates with the interior of the feeding box 1. A threaded cap is threadedly connected to the top surface of the feeding pipe 2. All four sides of the feeding platform 5 are inclined.

[0021] Specifically, under the action of timer 3 and solenoid valve 12, which are electrically connected, when the feeding time is reached, timer 3 controls solenoid valve 12 to open, and the feed stored inside the feeding box 1 is discharged through the discharge pipe 11; when the feeding end time is reached, timer 3 controls solenoid valve 12 to close, thereby realizing automatic feeding. Feed can be added to the inside of the feeding box 1 for storage through the feeding pipe 2.

[0022] The specific working principle and usage method of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an automatic feeding device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, when in use, feed is added into the feed box 1 through the feed pipe 2, and then the threaded cap is screwed on.

[0023] Then, the start and end times of feeding are set using a timer. When the set feeding start time is reached, the timer 3 automatically sends a signal to control the solenoid valve 12 to open, and the feed inside the feeding box 1 continuously falls into the storage cylinder 8 in the middle of the feeding platform 5 through the feed pipe 11. After the feed enters the storage cylinder 8, it first contacts the internal guide frustum 10. The conical structure of the guide frustum 10 can disperse the feed in all directions, preventing the feed from accumulating in the center of the storage cylinder 8 and causing local blockage. The dispersed feed accumulates inside the storage cylinder 8. As the amount of feed gradually increases, when the feed height reaches the height of the feed outlet 9 on the side of the storage cylinder 8, the excess feed will overflow outward through the feed outlet 9 and fall onto the guide frustum 2 13 on the bottom surface of the storage cylinder 8. The guide frustum 2 13 is also a conical structure, which can guide the overflowing feed to the storage cylinder 2 14 below, so that the feed is dispersed and stored inside the storage cylinder 2 14. Until the feeding end time is reached, timer 3 controls solenoid valve 12 to close, and feed pipe 11 stops discharging, completing a single automatic feeding cycle. At this time, a suitable amount of feed is left in storage hopper 1 8 for adult chickens, and the feed stored in storage hopper 2 14 is for chicks, achieving layered feed storage.

[0024] During feeding, adult chickens can climb to the top of the feeding platform 5 via the fixed horizontal bars 6 on its four sides. Standing on top, they directly peck at the feed in the first feed container 8. Chicks, being smaller, can enter the feeding platform 5 through the inlet / outlet 7 at the bottom side. Inside, they peck directly at the feed in the second feed container 14. The inlet / outlet 7 is only large enough for chicks to pass through, preventing adult chickens from entering, thus structurally separating the feeding areas for adult and chicks. This separate feeding method avoids adult chickens pecking at chicks while competing for feed, and ensures that chicks receive sufficient food, preventing insufficient food intake that could hinder their growth and development.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
