Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, specifically to a feeding device for livestock breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is an important industry in which humans utilize the physiological characteristics of animals and realize resource transformation through scientific management. It covers the large-scale breeding of livestock (such as cattle, sheep, and pigs) and poultry (such as chickens and ducks), including both traditional grazing methods and modern pen farming.

[0003] In livestock farming, feeders are needed to deliver feed. The main components of a feeder include a feed bin and a belt conveyor. The storage bin is an existing device with a structure including a box body, an auger, and a geared motor. The bottom of the box body is narrowed and the top is open. A discharge hopper is set on the front side of the bottom of the box body. An auger is rotatably installed on the bottom of the inner side of the box body. A geared motor for rotating the auger is fixedly installed at one end of the box body. When working, the geared motor rotates the auger, pushing the feed stored inside the box body toward the discharge hopper, thereby discharging it downwards. When in use, the storage bin is fixedly installed on a motor vehicle and moves with the motor vehicle. A belt conveyor is an existing device with a structure consisting of a belt, rollers, and a servo motor. It is installed below the discharge hopper of the storage bin and is used to discharge falling feed to the left or right, so that it can fall smoothly into the feed trough.

[0004] Because feeding troughs are usually set up in multiple pairs along both sides of the road, after driving a motor vehicle to feed one feeding trough, the distance between the motor vehicle and the other feeding trough needs to be adjusted before the feeding trough can be filled again. This is difficult to operate. Alternatively, after filling one feeding trough, the vehicle needs to drive again to fill the other feeding trough. This results in a long driving distance and low feeding efficiency. In addition, the driving position of motor vehicles on the road has errors, and the feed thrown by the belt conveyor cannot fall accurately into the feeding trough, resulting in some feed being scattered outwards and inwards, and the feeding operation has low precision.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a feeding device for livestock farming is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeder for livestock farming, which improves feeding efficiency and accuracy through a bidirectional adjustable conveyor belt, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A feeder for livestock farming includes a feed bin with a discharge hopper connected to a horizontal box. Both ends of the horizontal box are slidably fitted with shells. A drive assembly for translating the shells is located on the outside of the horizontal box. Straight rollers are rotatably mounted inside each shell. Multiple first multi-segment rollers and multiple second multi-segment rollers are rotatably mounted inside the horizontal box via support bases. A third multi-segment roller is rotatably mounted inside the horizontal box via an adjustment assembly. The multiple first multi-segment rollers are evenly distributed horizontally, and the third multi-segment roller is located between the first and second multi-segment rollers. The straight rollers, first multi-segment rollers, third multi-segment rollers, and second multi-segment rollers are fitted with the same conveyor belt. A servo motor is mounted on the outside of the shell via a tensioning assembly, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the straight rollers.

[0008] Specifically, the drive assembly includes linear bearings, guide rods, and electric push rods. Linear bearings are fixedly installed at the four corners of each end of the horizontal box. One end of a guide rod is inserted into each linear bearing. The other end of the guide rod is fixedly assembled with the box shell on the same side. A pair of electric push rods are fixedly installed on the outside of the horizontal box. The push rod end of the electric push rod is fixedly assembled with the box shell on the same side.

[0009] Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes an electric lead screw module and a linear guide rail. The electric lead screw module is fixedly installed on one side of the horizontal box, and the linear guide rail is fixedly installed on the other side of the horizontal box. A third multi-segment roller is rotatably installed between the slide table of the electric lead screw module and the linear guide rail via a support seat. The horizontal box has a through groove for the slide table to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, a fourth multi-segment roller is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the housing via a support base, and the roller body of the fourth multi-segment roller abuts against the upper part of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, guide plates are fixedly installed on the inner side of the housing via crossbeams. The upper end of the guide plate abuts against the lower surface of the conveyor belt. The guide plates are inclined, and the distance between the upper ends of the two guide plates is less than the distance between the lower ends of the two guide plates.

[0012] Furthermore, baffles are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides inside the transverse box. The lower end of the baffles abuts against the upper surface of the conveyor belt. The baffles are inclined, and the distance between the upper ends of the two baffles is greater than the distance between the lower ends of the two baffles.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model can move the housing individually or synchronously through the drive component, and dynamically adjust the position of the third multi-section roller in conjunction with the adjustment component, effectively compensating for changes in the length of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the guide plates on both sides can be positioned above the feeding troughs on both sides, and realizing the filling operation of each pair of feeding troughs as the vehicle moves and the conveyor belt changes direction.

[0014] In summary, this reduces the travel distance and operational difficulty of motor vehicles, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example content: Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The present invention provides a feeding device for livestock farming, including a feed storage box 1, which is an existing device and will not be described in detail here.

[0019] The discharge hopper of the storage bin 1 is connected to a horizontal box 2. The horizontal box 2 is horizontally set and both ends of the horizontal box 2 are open. Both ends of the horizontal box 2 are slidably installed with a box shell 3. The side and the bottom of the two box shells 3 that are close to each other are open. A drive assembly 4 for moving the box shells 3 is set on the outside of the horizontal box 2. The drive assembly 4 is used to move one of the box shells 3 alone or to move both box shells 3 at the same time. It can be selected and adjusted according to the distance from the feed trough during actual use.

[0020] The configuration of conveyor belt 10: Inside the housing 3, straight rollers 14 are rotatably installed. Inside the horizontal housing 2, multiple first multi-segment rollers 6 and multiple second multi-segment rollers 9 are rotatably installed via support seats. Inside the horizontal housing 2, a third multi-segment roller 7 is rotatably installed via adjusting assembly 8. The multiple first multi-segment rollers 6 are evenly distributed along the horizontal direction, and the third multi-segment roller 7 is located between the first multi-segment rollers 6 and the second multi-segment rollers 9. The straight rollers 14, the first multi-segment rollers 6, the third multi-segment roller 7 and the second multi-segment roller 9 are fitted with the same conveyor belt 10.

[0021] The conveyor belt 10 can be circulated on the straight roller 14, the first multi-segment roller 6, the third multi-segment roller 7, and the second multi-segment roller 9. The adjusting component 8 is horizontally arranged, and when one or two of the straight rollers 14 are translated with the housing 3, the adjusting component 8 is used to translate the third multi-segment roller 7 to release or accommodate the bent conveyor belt 10 at this point, so as to compensate for the change in length of the conveyor belt 10 at the straight roller 14. In addition, three second multi-segment rollers 9 are provided to smoothly guide the conveyor belt 10 from the third multi-segment roller 7 back to the straight roller 14.

[0022] The conveyor belt 10 is divided into three parts: the upper part, which is the part of the conveyor belt 10 located on the straight roller 14, the first multi-section roller 6, and the upper side, is used to transport feed falling from the discharge hopper; the curved part, which is the part of the conveyor belt 10 that is bent and transported by the third multi-section roller 7, is used to store excess conveyor belt 10; and the lower part, which is the part of the conveyor belt 10 that is guided back to the straight roller 14 by the second multi-section roller 9.

[0023] Drive method of straight roller 14: A servo motor 13 is mounted on the outside of the housing 3 via a tensioning assembly, and the output shaft of the servo motor 13 is connected to the straight roller 14.

[0024] The tensioning assembly is an existing component with a linear guide rail, bearing housing, bolt assembly, etc. Linear guide rails are fixedly installed on both sides of each housing 3, and the linear guide rails are set horizontally. The bearing housings are fixedly installed on the slide of the linear guide rails. Straight rollers 14 are rotatably installed between the bearing housings on the same side. The housing 3 has an elongated hole for the shaft of the straight roller 14 to pass through. A servo motor 13 is fixedly installed on one of the bearing housings, and the output shaft of the servo motor 13 is connected to the straight roller 14.

[0025] Servo motor 13 is used to drive straight roller 14 in the same direction, thereby circulating conveyor belt 10. Bolt group (bolt and nut) is used to adjust the distance of tightening bearing seat and lock it with nut, so as to adjust the tension of conveyor belt 10 and ensure transmission efficiency.

[0026] Specifically: Structure of driver component 4: The drive assembly 4 includes a horizontally arranged linear bearing 41, a guide rod 42, and an electric push rod 43. A linear bearing 41 is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of each end of the horizontal box 2. One end of the guide rod 42 is inserted into each linear bearing 41. The other end of the guide rod 42 is fixedly assembled with the box shell 3 on the same side. The guide rod 42 can slide horizontally along the linear bearing 41, thereby stably supporting the box shell 3, so that the box shell 3 can move horizontally at both ends of the horizontal box 2.

[0027] A pair of electric push rods 43 are fixedly installed on the outside of the horizontal box 2. The push rod end of the electric push rod 43 is fixedly assembled with the box shell 3 on the same side. The electric push rod 43 is used to provide translation power to the box shell 3 respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of translation of the box shell 3 separately or simultaneously.

[0028] Adjusting the structure of component 8: The adjustment assembly 8 includes a horizontally arranged electric screw module 81 and a linear guide rail 82. The electric screw module 81 is fixedly installed on one side of the horizontal box 2, and the linear guide rail 82 is fixedly installed on the other side of the horizontal box 2. A third multi-segment roller 7 is rotatably installed between the slides of the electric screw module 81 and the linear guide rail 82 via a support seat. The horizontal box 2 has a through slot for passing through the slide.

[0029] The electric lead screw module 81 is an existing component with a housing, servo motor, lead screw and slide, etc., used to horizontally drive one end of the third multi-segment roller 7, while the other end of the third multi-segment roller 7 can translate along the linear guide rail 82 to maintain the third multi-segment roller 7 in a longitudinal (set along the front-back direction) posture.

[0030] The third multi-segment roller 7, which moves to a different position, is used to change the length of the curved receiving conveyor belt 10 to accommodate the needs of the conveyor belt 10 after the displacement of the straight roller 14.

[0031] The fourth multi-section roller 5 is configured as follows: The inner side of the housing 3 is rotatably mounted with a fourth multi-segment roller 5 via a support seat. The roller body of the fourth multi-segment roller 5 abuts against the upper part of the conveyor belt 10. As the housing 3 moves, the fourth multi-segment roller 5 always supports the upper part of the conveyor belt 10 near the straight roller 14, ensuring the load-bearing capacity of the conveyor belt 10 on the feed after the housing 3 is displaced.

[0032] The setup of guide plate 11: Guide plates 11 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the housing 3 by crossbeams. The upper end of the guide plate 11 abuts against the lower surface of the conveyor belt 10. The guide plates 11 are inclined and the distance between the upper ends of the two guide plates 11 is less than the distance between the lower ends of the two guide plates 11.

[0033] The guide plate 11 is used to guide the feed discharged from both ends of the conveyor belt 10 so that it can smoothly enter the feeding trough. It can also scrape off the small amount of feed adhering to the lower surface of the conveyor belt 10, so as to prevent it from being stuck or even piling up in the transverse box 2 as the conveyor belt 10 enters.

[0034] The baffle 12 is configured as follows: Baffles 12 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides inside the transverse box 2. The lower end of the baffle 12 abuts against the upper surface of the conveyor belt 10. The baffles 12 are inclined, and the distance between the upper ends of the two baffles 12 is greater than the distance between the lower ends of the two baffles 12.

[0035] The baffle 12 is used to guide the feed discharged from the hopper of the storage box 1 so that it falls onto the conveyor belt 10 in the center, and prevents the feed from getting close to the gap between the conveyor belt 10 and the horizontal box 2 and falling into the horizontal box 2.

[0036] After the feeder is installed on a motor vehicle, the electrical components are connected to the power supply on the motor vehicle through the controller. The controller’s preset program enables synchronous / asynchronous translation control of the electric push rod 43, displacement compensation adjustment of the electric lead screw module 81, and forward / reverse switching of the servo motor 13.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment: Before feeding, when driving a motor vehicle onto the road between the feeding troughs, the controller can adjust the extension distance of the electric push rod 43 according to the distance from the feeding troughs on both sides, thereby pushing the box shell 3 to move horizontally. The smooth rod 42 slides along the linear bearing 41 to maintain stability. At the same time, the electric screw module 81 drives the third multi-segment roller 7 to move horizontally along the linear guide rail 82 to compensate for the length change of the conveyor belt 10, so that the guide plate 11 is positioned above the feeding trough, improving the feeding accuracy.

[0038] During feeding, the auger in the storage bin 1, driven by the geared motor, pushes the feed to the discharge hopper and onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt 10 in the horizontal box 2. At the same time, the baffle 12 guides the feed to be centered. The servo motor 13 drives the straight roller 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 10 to circulate. The feed falls onto the guide plate 11 at the end of the conveyor belt 10, which then guides the feed to the feeding trough. After one feeding trough is filled, the controller changes the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 10 to fill the feeding trough on the other side. There is no need to adjust the position of the vehicle. After completion, the vehicle can be driven forward a certain distance to fill the next pair of feeding troughs again.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
