Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming technology, specifically to an automatic feed dispensing device for chicken farms to prevent feed from getting damp. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken farming, as an important agricultural production method, has seen widespread development both domestically and internationally in recent years. With the increasing demand for high-quality poultry meat and eggs, the construction and management of modern chicken farms have become increasingly important. During the breeding process, the quality of feed and the feeding method directly affect the growth rate, health status, and economic benefits of the chickens. Therefore, how to efficiently and scientifically feed chickens has become a key technology in chicken farm management. To solve the time and human resource waste caused by traditional manual feeding methods, automated feed feeding systems have emerged. These systems not only improve feed feeding efficiency but also ensure that chickens receive sufficient nutrition at the appropriate time, promoting their healthy growth.

[0003] Utility model patent CN217657680U discloses an automatic feed dispensing device for chicken farms. The device includes a feed placement mechanism with a feed box below it. The feed placement mechanism comprises a rectangular placement bucket, a feed placement trough, and symmetrical mounting buckles. The rectangular placement bucket has a feed placement trough inside, and symmetrical mounting buckles are symmetrically fixed to its surface. A repetitive squeezing device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed placement trough. An opening and closing mechanism is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rectangular placement bucket. This utility model provides an automatic feed dispensing device for chicken farms that, by installing the repetitive squeezing device and the opening and closing mechanism, uses machinery to replace manual labor, enabling automatic feed dispensing without the need for manual, timed, and quantitative feeding. This saves labor costs, time, and effort, and eliminates the need for repeated feed additions.

[0004] While the existing technologies described above can automate the dispensing of chicken feed, the open structure of the rectangular feeding bins still has certain drawbacks. Moisture in the air easily causes the chicken feed to become damp, affecting its quality. Even when a lid is installed on the top of the rectangular feeding bin, the sealing performance of the two hinged plates when closed is often insufficient. The risk of moisture accumulation is even more significant when the feed storage volume is large, potentially leading to feed spoilage and mold growth, which in turn affects the health of the chickens and the profitability of the farming operation. To address this issue, we propose an automatic feed dispensing device for chicken farms to prevent moisture absorption. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feed dispensing device for chicken farms to prevent feed from getting damp, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic feed dispensing device for preventing chicken feed from getting damp in a chicken farm includes a storage bin. The bottom of the storage bin is provided with a conical guide hopper to facilitate the flow of chicken feed to a discharge pipe. The bottom end of the conical guide hopper is provided with a discharge pipe. The top flange of the storage bin is connected to a bin cover. A sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the bin cover and the storage bin to prevent external moisture from entering the storage bin. The top of the bin cover and near the outer edge is provided with a feeding pipe for dispensing or replenishing chicken feed into the storage bin. The top end of the feeding pipe is threaded with a cap to seal the feeding pipe.

[0008] An electric telescopic rod is provided in the middle of the top of the barrel lid. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod passes through the top of the barrel lid and is rotatably connected to a rotating rod. The connection is made with a bearing so that the rotation of the rotating rod does not affect the electric telescopic rod's up-and-down movement. The electric telescopic rod drives the rotating rod to move up and down, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the frustum-shaped sealing block to the output end of the discharge pipe.

[0009] The bottom of the bucket lid is provided with a U-shaped plate, and the U-shaped plate is connected to a rotating tube through a bearing. The top of the rotating rod is located inside the rotating tube. A motor for driving the rotating tube to rotate is provided on one side of the U-shaped plate through a mounting seat. The electric telescopic rod and the motor are both connected to an external power supply and controller. They are set to start and stop at a timer and cooperate with each other. The rotating tube is driven to rotate by the motor, and the rotating tube drives the rotating rod to rotate.

[0010] The bottom end of the rotating rod is equipped with an auger, and the bottom end of the auger shaft is equipped with a frustum-shaped sealing block. The rotating rod drives the auger and the frustum-shaped sealing block to rotate synchronously, which can make the chicken feed output smoothly downward and avoid blockage. When the electric telescopic rod is working, the motor stops running. The motor can only work when the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod extends to the set position to realize automatic feeding. The motor stops working during the retraction of the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod and after it is fully retracted.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the storage hopper is provided with two mounting side plates arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, and the mounting side plates are installed on the bracket at the feed feeding point of the chicken farm by bolts.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the inner wall of the discharge pipe is provided with a rubber liner. When the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod is fully retracted, the outer wall of the frustum-shaped sealing block is tightly fitted with the outer side of the rubber liner to prevent external moisture from entering the storage tank from the discharge pipe.

[0013] Preferably, a rubber ring is embedded in the center of the top of the bucket lid, and the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod passes through the rubber ring to ensure the sealing of the connection between the bucket lid and the electric telescopic rod.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the rotating tube has two limiting grooves arranged symmetrically from left to right, and the top of the outer wall of the rotating rod has two limiting strips arranged symmetrically. The two limiting strips are respectively located in the two limiting grooves, so that the rotating rod can rotate synchronously with the rotating tube.

[0015] Preferably, the outer wall of the rotating tube is provided with a driven gear, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected with a driving gear that meshes with the driven gear.

[0016] Preferably, the outer wall of the auger fits against the inner wall of the discharge pipe, and the bottom diameter of the frustum-shaped sealing block is larger than the inner diameter of the discharge pipe to ensure that sealing can be achieved.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. The automatic feed dispensing device for preventing feed moisture in this chicken farm has a flange connection between the feed hopper and the hopper lid, and a sealing gasket. The top of the feeding pipe is sealed with a threaded cap, and the bottom of the dispensing pipe is fitted with a rubber liner and a frustum-shaped sealing block. Combined with the rubber ring sealing the electric telescopic rod at the top of the hopper lid, a multi-layer moisture barrier is formed, which effectively prevents external moisture from entering the inside of the feed hopper and avoids the feed from getting damp and deteriorating.

[0019] 2. The automatic feed feeding device for chicken farms is designed to prevent feed from getting damp. It uses an electric telescopic rod to drive a rotating rod to raise and lower, which controls the opening and closing of the truncated cone-shaped sealing block on the feed pipe. Combined with the motor driving the rotating pipe to rotate the auger, the feed is delivered after the truncated cone-shaped sealing block is opened. The auger blades force the feed to be fed out, preventing feed from accumulating or blocking, and ensuring a stable feeding process. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] An automatic feed dispensing device for preventing chicken feed from getting damp in a chicken farm includes a storage bin 100. The bottom of the storage bin 100 is provided with a conical feed guide hopper 110, which facilitates the flow of chicken feed to a discharge pipe 120. The bottom end of the conical feed guide hopper 110 is provided with a discharge pipe 120. The top flange of the storage bin 100 is connected to a bin cover 200. A sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the bin cover 200 and the storage bin 100 to prevent external moisture from entering the storage bin 100. The top of the bin cover 200 and near the outer edge is provided with a feeding pipe 210 for dispensing or replenishing chicken feed into the storage bin 100. The top end of the feeding pipe 210 is threaded with a cap to seal the feeding pipe 210.

[0031] An electric telescopic rod 800 is provided in the middle of the top of the barrel lid 200. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod 800 passes through the top of the barrel lid 200 and is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 400. The connection is made of bearings so that the rotation of the rotating rod 400 does not affect the electric telescopic rod 800's drive to move up and down. The electric telescopic rod 800 drives the rotating rod 400 to move up and down, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 to the output end of the discharge pipe 120.

[0032] The bottom of the bucket lid 200 is provided with a U-shaped plate 220, and the U-shaped plate 220 is connected to a rotating tube 300 through a bearing. The top of the rotating rod 400 is located inside the rotating tube 300. A motor 700 for driving the rotating tube 300 to rotate is provided on one side of the U-shaped plate 220 through a mounting seat. The electric telescopic rod 800 and the motor 700 are both connected to an external power supply and controller to work. They are set to start and stop at a timer and cooperate with each other. The rotating tube 300 is driven to rotate by the motor 700, and the rotating tube 300 drives the rotating rod 400 to rotate.

[0033] The bottom end of the rotating rod 400 is equipped with an auger 500, and the bottom end of the auger 500 shaft is equipped with a frustum-shaped sealing block 600. The rotating rod 400 drives the auger 500 and the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 to rotate synchronously, which can make the chicken feed output smoothly downward and avoid blockage. When the electric telescopic rod 800 is working, the motor 700 stops running. The motor 700 can only work when the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 800 extends to the set position to realize automatic feeding. The motor 700 stops working during the retraction of the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 800 and after it is fully retracted.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the storage hopper 100 is provided with two mounting side plates 130 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The mounting side plates 130 are installed on the bracket at the feed feeding point of the chicken farm by bolts.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom of the inner wall of the discharge pipe 120 is provided with a rubber liner 140. When the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 800 is fully retracted, the outer wall of the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 is tightly fitted with the outer side of the rubber liner 140 to prevent external moisture from entering the storage tank 100 from the discharge pipe 120.

[0036] Furthermore, a rubber ring 900 is embedded in the center of the top of the bucket lid 200, and the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 800 passes through the rubber ring 900 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the bucket lid 200 and the electric telescopic rod 800.

[0037] Furthermore, the inner wall of the rotating tube 300 is provided with two symmetrically arranged limiting grooves 301, and the top of the outer wall of the rotating rod 400 is provided with two symmetrically arranged limiting strips 410. The two limiting strips 410 are respectively located in the two limiting grooves 301, so that the rotating rod 400 can rotate synchronously with the rotating tube 300.

[0038] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating tube 300 is provided with a driven gear 310, and the output shaft of the motor 700 is coaxially connected with a driving gear 710 that meshes with the driven gear 310 for transmission.

[0039] Furthermore, the outer wall of the auger 500 fits into the inner wall of the discharge pipe 120, and the bottom diameter of the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 is larger than the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 120, ensuring that sealing can be achieved.

[0040] In this embodiment, the automatic feed dispensing device for preventing moisture absorption in chicken farms dispenses chicken feed into the storage hopper 100 through the feeding pipe 210. After dispensing, the feeding pipe 210 is sealed with a threaded sealing cap. At this time, the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 800 is in a retracted state, and the outer wall of the bottom of the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 is tightly fitted with the rubber liner 140 at the bottom of the inner wall of the discharge pipe 120, forming a seal to prevent external moisture from entering the storage hopper 100. When feeding is required, the controller activates the electric telescopic rod 800, causing its movable rod to extend downwards, which in turn moves the rotating rod 400 and the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 downwards until the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 disengages from the outlet of the discharge pipe 120. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 800 stops working and triggers the motor 700 to start. The motor 700 drives the driven gear 310 through the active gear 710, which in turn drives the rotating tube 300 to rotate. The rotating tube 300, through the cooperation of the limiting groove 301 and the limiting strip 410, causes the rotating rod 400 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the auger 500 and the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 to rotate. The auger 500 forcibly pushes the feed along the discharge pipe 120 through its blades, preventing the feed from accumulating and clogging. After feeding is completed, the controller controls the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod 800 to retract, so that the frustum-shaped sealing block 600 presses the rubber liner 140 again to close the discharge pipe 120. At the same time, the motor 700 stops running, completing one feeding cycle. The entire process ensures the moisture-proof effect of the feed inside the storage tank 100 through the sealing gasket, rubber ring 900 and multi-layer mechanical seal structure.
