Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming equipment technology, specifically to an automatic quantitative feeding device for chicken feed. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken farms typically handle large quantities of feed, and farmers usually use automatic feeders. These feeders are powered by a motor, which directs feed from the feed chamber down a chute into the feed trough. The device uses rotating roller hoppers, each hopper discharging one load at a time. However, existing feeding equipment cannot accurately control the feed amount, which can negatively impact the chickens.

[0003] CN 219205574U discloses a quantitative dispensing mechanism for an automatic chicken feed feeder, specifically comprising a housing and a base plate. The housing contains a feeding mechanism, a mounting box is fixed to the right side of the housing, and a quantitative mechanism is located on the front of the housing. This quantitative dispensing mechanism allows chicken feed to be dispensed through multiple inclined dispensing cylinders as it enters. An electric push rod moves the mounting plate downwards, and multiple baffles engage with the dispensing cylinders. Although this technical solution includes a quantitative mechanism, the feeding mechanism has a relatively large error and room for improvement.

[0004] CN 212260149U discloses a timed and quantitative feeding device for free-range chickens. Specifically, it discloses a base plate, a feeding box connected to the top of the base plate via multiple support legs, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the feeding box, a storage frame on the top of the feeding box, a rotating feeding mechanism inside the feeding box, openings at both the top and bottom of the feeding box, and communication between the bottom of the storage frame and the top opening of the feeding box. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate via two symmetrically arranged telescopic rods, and a threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top of the base plate, penetrating the pressure plate and connecting to a connecting block. The pressure plate is fixedly connected to the connecting block via two symmetrically arranged fixing rods. This technical solution achieves automatic feed feeding through the combined use of the rotating feeding mechanism and the meshing mechanism, but there are still shortcomings in quantitative control.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology still lacks a feeding device with better quantitative control. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a feeding device with better quantitative control. Its purpose is to provide a breeding device that can automatically weigh and feed, thereby solving the technical problem that existing technologies require manual operation.

[0007] The detailed technical solution of this utility model is as follows.

[0008] This utility model protects an automatic quantitative feeding device for chicken feed, including a feed box with an open top, a support plate for carrying the feed box, a walking mechanism for driving the support plate along a preset track, a chicken cage frame with a preset track on the top, and a control mechanism. The feed box has an open bottom and a feeding mechanism is provided at the opening. The feeding mechanism is used to input the feed from the feed box into a feeding pipe. The outlet of the feeding pipe is located above the feeding area set by the chicken cage frame. A weight sensor is provided in the support plate. The weight sensor can detect the weight of the feed box in real time. The walking mechanism, the feeding mechanism, and the weight sensor are all electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding mechanism is also equipped with a speed sensor, which is used to measure the number of rotations of the screw. The speed sensor and the feeding motor are electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the walking mechanism is provided with a guide ladder. There are two guide ladders, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the chicken cage frame. Each guide ladder is provided with a number of guide holes. The feeding pipe passes through the guide holes and is fixedly connected to the guide holes by bolts.

[0012] Preferably, the chicken cage frame is a multi-layered trapezoid with each layer gradually narrowing from bottom to top. Each layer of the chicken cage frame contains one or two chicken cages, which are symmetrically distributed along the length direction. The number of layers in the chicken cage frame is 2-5.

[0013] Preferably, the feed box contains several sub-boxes, each with an independent feeding mechanism, and the number of sub-boxes is the same as the number of chicken cages.

[0014] Preferably, the walking mechanism includes a drive shaft, a walking motor that drives the drive shaft to rotate, and a driven shaft connected to the drive shaft via a chain. Both the drive shaft and the driven shaft are provided with pulleys that cooperate with the preset track.

[0015] Preferably, the pulley is slidably connected to the preset track, the outer circumferential surface of the pulley is in contact with the preset track, and the pulley rolls along the extension direction of the preset track.

[0016] Preferably, the walking motor is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the system also includes a display screen, which is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] (1) This utility model monitors the weight of feed in the feeding device in real time through a gravity sensor, and dynamically adjusts the operating status of the feeding component in conjunction with the control module to achieve precise control of the feed amount, avoid the problem of too much or too little feed in traditional feeding, and significantly improve the feed utilization rate.

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] This embodiment protects an automatic quantitative feeding device for chicken feed, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a feed box 1 with a top opening, a support plate 2 for supporting the feed box 1, a walking mechanism 4 for driving the support plate 2 to move along a preset track 3, a chicken cage frame 5 with the preset track 3 on the top, and a control mechanism. The feed box 1 has a feeding mechanism at the bottom, which is used to input the feed from the feed box into a feeding pipe. The outlet of the feeding pipe is located above the feeding area 7 set by the chicken cage frame. The support plate is equipped with a weight sensor, which can detect the weight of the feed box in real time. The walking mechanism 4, the feeding mechanism, and the weight sensor are all electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0027] In this embodiment, the chicken cage frame 5 is a trapezoid with each layer gradually narrowing from bottom to top. Each layer of the chicken cage frame 5 contains two chicken cages, symmetrically distributed along its length. The chicken cage frame 5 has three layers, totaling six chicken cages. The feed box 1 has six sub-boxes. It is conceivable that other numbers of sub-boxes and chicken cages could be used in this embodiment, but all such variations fall within the scope of this utility model and will not be listed here. The walking mechanism 4 is equipped with two guide ladders 10, symmetrically arranged at both ends of the chicken cage frame 5. Each guide ladder 10 has six guide holes 11, three on each side, corresponding to the number of chicken cages. The feeding pipe 6 passes through the guide holes 11 and is fixedly connected to the guide holes 11 by bolts.

[0028] The feeding mechanism includes a screw 8 and a feeding motor that drives the screw 8. The screw 8 is located at the opening at the bottom of the feed box. The feeding mechanism is equipped with a speed sensor to measure the number of rotations of the screw 8. The speed sensor and the feeding motor are electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0029] The walking mechanism 4 includes a drive shaft, a walking motor that drives the drive shaft to rotate, and a driven shaft connected to the drive shaft via a chain. Both the drive shaft and the driven shaft are equipped with pulleys that cooperate with the preset track. The pulleys are slidably connected to the preset track, with their outer circumferential surfaces in contact with the preset track, and the pulleys roll along the extension direction of the preset track. The walking motor is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a display screen is also included, which is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0031] In use, the feed bin 1 is installed above the support plate 2, which is equipped with a weight sensor frame. The control mechanism is electrically connected to the feeding motor and the walking motor. The operator operates the system via the display screen 9 connected to the control mechanism, setting parameters such as the feeding amount and daily feeding time. After the preset feeding time is reached, the control mechanism triggers the walking program, driving the walking motor to operate. The walking motor drives the rotating shaft at the bottom of the walking mechanism 4 to rotate synchronously via a rotating chain. The pulley on the rotating shaft moves at a uniform speed horizontally along the preset track 3 at the top of the chicken cage frame 5. At the same time, the control mechanism starts the feeding motor according to the preset feeding amount, driving the spiral screw 8 inside the feed bin 1 to rotate. The spiral screw 8 pushes the feed in the sub-bin along the length direction to the feeding pipe 6, and the feed is transported to the corresponding chicken cage feeding area 7 through the feeding pipe 6.

[0032] The weight sensor of this invention detects the total weight of the feed bin 1 and the feed inside in real time and transmits the weight signal to the control mechanism in real time. If the amount of feed fed is inconsistent with the weight sensor detection, the control mechanism will receive feedback and make adjustments. In particular, the feeding mechanism is equipped with a speed sensor, which is used to measure the number of rotations of the screw 8. Therefore, during adjustment, it is first checked whether the screw 8 is feeding the feed as required, and feedback adjustment is made based on the operation of the screw 8.

[0033] In summary, this invention uses a gravity sensor to monitor the weight of feed in the feeding device in real time, and coordinates with the control module to dynamically adjust the operating status of the feeding components, thereby achieving precise control of the feed amount and avoiding the problems of too much or too little feed in traditional feeding, thus significantly improving feed utilization.

[0034] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
