Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Livestock farming refers to the process of achieving large-scale, intensive, and efficient production of livestock and poultry through the rational planning and allocation of resources such as land, feed, and livestock. Livestock farming encompasses a wide variety of species, primarily including the raising of livestock and poultry such as cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, camels, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and bees, as well as the domestication of economic animals such as deer, mink, otters, and musk deer. Among these, the raising of cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses is one of the most common types of livestock farming. This type of farming requires providing suitable living environments, feed, and water sources, and paying attention to disease prevention and health management. During the farming process, it is essential to rationally arrange feed formulations, stocking densities, and feeding times to improve production efficiency and economic benefits. In livestock farming, the feeding of piglets or young cattle and sheep needs to be tailored to their growth stages. Overfeeding can easily lead to indigestion, while underfeeding can result in stunted growth. Artificial feeding often involves difficulty in controlling the appropriate amount of food, leading to either overfeeding or underfeeding, thus presenting significant limitations. Therefore, we propose a staged feeding device for livestock. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a staged feeding device for livestock.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a staged feeding device for livestock, including a frame. A feeding trough is provided on the outer periphery of the frame near the bottom end, and a weighing body for measuring is assembled between the feeding trough and the frame. A hopper for holding feed is slidably installed on the outer wall surface of the frame, and a sliding groove is opened on the inner wall surface of the frame. A sliding seat connected to the hopper is slidably installed on the inner side of the sliding groove, and a screw rod that is screwed to the sliding seat is rotatably installed on the inner side of the sliding groove. An electric feeder corresponding to the feeding trough is assembled at the discharge end of the hopper.

[0005] The outer wall surface of the hopper is bolted with a shaped plate that fits the frame, and a protective grid plate is installed on the inner side of the shaped plate. An infrared sensor for detection is installed on the inner wall surface of the shaped plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, during the use of livestock feeding equipment, it is convenient to put poultry feed into the hopper, and then the electric feeder at the bottom of the hopper will operate so that the feed in the hopper can fall into the trough on the frame. The scale between the trough and the frame will operate to easily measure the amount of feed added to the trough, which makes it easier to feed poultry more accurately. The electric feeding method is more convenient and labor-saving, and it is convenient to feed poultry according to their growth stage.

[0007] When feed is added to the set level in the trough, the electric feeder is activated to block the hopper's outlet. This causes the lead screw in the groove on the frame to rotate, allowing it to connect with the slide block and slide along the groove. The slide block then moves the hopper up and down along the frame, simultaneously moving the mouth plate and grid plate to release the blocked frame opening, allowing poultry chicks to access the feed in the trough. After feeding, an infrared sensor detects the area below the mouth plate and the frame. If no poultry chicks are present, the controller rotates the lead screw, lowering the hopper. The mouth plate and grid plate then move down, blocking the feeding opening on the frame. This allows for precise feeding to continue in the trough.

[0008] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the frame is bolted with a U-shaped plate for protection, and the outer wall surface of the U-shaped plate is hinged with a door for sealing.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped plate can easily seal and protect the outer perimeter of the frame, which can reduce the chance of poultry pups running out from the other side of the frame when feeding. The door is easy to open and close, which makes it easy for personnel to maintain the structure on the frame or to clean and disinfect the feeding trough.

[0010] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the door is provided with a glass plate for observation.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the glass panel on the door makes it convenient for staff to observe the feeding of feed and the eating of poultry chicks.

[0012] Specifically, the inner side of the frame is equipped with a worm gear reducer that is connected to the lead screw, and the power input end of the worm gear reducer is equipped with a servo motor. The outer wall surface of the frame is equipped with a controller that is electrically connected to the electric feeder, the weighing body, the infrared sensor, and the servo motor.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller can easily control the operation of the feeding equipment, and the servo motor can easily drive the lead screw in the slide to rotate under the operation of the worm gear reducer, thus providing power to it.

[0014] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the frame is provided with grooves that fit the hopper, and there are multiple sets of grooves.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the grooves on the frame surface can easily match the protrusions on the outer periphery of the hopper, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the hopper during lifting and displacement.

[0016] Specifically, the outer periphery of the frame away from the hopper is bolted with a vertical strip frame for protection.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical strip frame can be conveniently sealed and protected at the opening on the upper part of the frame near the breeding shed.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The technical solution of this application, through the design of the trough, the scale, the hopper and the electric feeder, allows for convenient placement of poultry feed into the hopper during the use of livestock feeding equipment. Subsequently, the electric feeder at the bottom of the hopper operates, allowing the feed in the hopper to fall into the trough on the frame. The scale between the trough and the frame operates, facilitating the measurement of the amount of feed added to the trough. This enables more precise feeding of poultry, and the electric feeding method is more convenient and labor-saving, allowing for precise feeding according to the growth stage of the poultry.

[0020] 2. The technical solution of this application, through the design of a chute, lead screw, sliding block, mouth plate, grid plate, and infrared sensor, enables the operation of an electric feeder and the sealing of the hopper's discharge end when feed is added to the set content range in the trough. This causes the lead screw in the chute on the frame to rotate, allowing it to screw into the sliding block and slide along the chute. The sliding block then drives the hopper to move up and down along the frame. Simultaneously, the hopper drives the mouth plate and grid plate to move up and down, releasing the blocked frame opening, allowing poultry chicks to access the feed inside the trough for convenient feeding. After feeding, the infrared sensor detects the area below the mouth plate and the bottom of the frame. Under the control of the internal system, if there are no poultry chicks, the lead screw is driven to rotate, causing the hopper to move downwards. Simultaneously, the mouth plate moves the grid plate downwards, sealing the feeding opening on the frame. Then, precise feeding can continue into the trough for subsequent feeding.

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a staged feeding device for livestock, including a frame 1, a feeding trough 2 for feeding is provided on the outer periphery of the frame 1 near the bottom, and a weighing body 3 for measurement is assembled between the feeding trough 2 and the frame 1. A feed hopper 4 for holding feed is slidably installed on the outer wall surface of the frame 1, and a sliding groove 6 is opened on the inner wall surface of the frame 1. A sliding seat 7 connected to the feed hopper 4 is slidably installed on the inner side of the sliding groove 6, and a screw rod 8 connected to the sliding seat 7 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the sliding groove 6. An electric feeder 5 corresponding to the feeding trough 2 is assembled at the discharge end of the feed hopper 4. A mouth-shaped plate 11 that fits the frame 1 is assembled on the outer wall surface of the feed hopper 4 by bolts, and a grid plate 12 for protection is assembled on the inner side of the mouth-shaped plate 11. An infrared sensor 13 for detection is assembled on the inner wall surface of the mouth-shaped plate 11.

[0028] When in use, during the process of using the livestock feeding equipment, it is convenient to put the feed for young poultry into the hopper 4. Then, the electric feeder 5 at the bottom of the hopper 4 will operate and the feed in the hopper 4 will fall into the trough 2 on the frame 1. The scale 3 between the trough 2 and the frame 1 will operate and conveniently measure the amount of feed added to the trough 2, which is convenient for feeding young poultry more accurately. The electric feeding method is more convenient and labor-saving, and it is convenient to feed the young poultry accurately according to their growth stage.

[0029] When feed is added to the set content range in the feed trough 2, the electric feeder 5 can be operated to block the discharge end of the hopper 4. Then, the screw 8 in the slide 6 on the frame 1 rotates, so that the screw 8 can be screwed together with the slide block 7 and slide along the slide 6. Then, the slide block 7 can drive the hopper 4 to move up and down along the frame 1. At the same time, the hopper 4 can drive the mouth plate 11 and the grid plate 12 to move up and down and release the blocked opening of the frame 1, so that the poultry pups can eat the feed inside the feed trough 2, which is convenient for feeding. After feeding, the infrared sensor 13 can be used to detect the area below the mouth plate 11 and the area below the frame 1. Under the control of the internal system of the controller 17, if there are no poultry pups, the screw 8 can be driven to rotate and the hopper 4 can be moved down. At the same time, the mouth plate 11 can drive the grid plate 12 to move down and block the feeding port on the frame 1 for protection. Then, the feed can be accurately added to the feed trough 2 again, which is convenient for subsequent feeding.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall surface of the frame 1 is bolted with a U-shaped plate 14 for protection, and the outer wall surface of the U-shaped plate 14 is hinged with a door body 15 for sealing.

[0031] When in use, the U-shaped panel 14 can easily seal and protect the outer perimeter of the frame 1, which helps to reduce the chance of poultry pups running out from the other side of the frame 1 when feeding, while the door 15 is easy to open and close, making it convenient for personnel to maintain the structure on the frame 1 or to clean and disinfect the feed trough 2.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a glass plate 16 for observation is provided on the outer wall surface of the door 15.

[0033] When in use, the glass plate 16 on the door 15 allows staff to easily observe the feeding of feed and the eating of poultry chicks.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a worm gear reducer 9 is installed on the inner side of the frame 1 and is connected to the lead screw 8 for transmission. A servo motor 10 is installed at the power input end of the worm gear reducer 9. A controller 17 is installed on the outer wall surface of the frame 1 and is electrically connected to the electric feeder 5, the weighing body 3, the infrared sensor 13, and the servo motor 10.

[0035] In use, the controller 17 facilitates the operation of the feeding equipment, while the servo motor 10, under the operation of the worm gear reducer 9, drives the lead screw 8 in the slide 6 to rotate, thus providing power to it.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outer wall surface of the frame 1 is provided with a groove 19 that fits the hopper 4, and there are multiple sets of grooves 19.

[0037] When in use, the groove 19 on the surface of the frame 1 can easily fit with the protrusion on the outer periphery of the hopper 4, which helps to improve the stability of the hopper 4 during lifting and lowering.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer periphery of the frame 1 away from the hopper 4 is fitted with a vertical strip plate frame 18 for protection by bolts.

[0039] When in use, the vertical strip frame 18 can be used to seal and protect the opening on the upper part of the frame 1 near the breeding house.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, first, install the frame 1 in a convenient feeding position on one side of the livestock shed fence. The side of the frame 1 with the grid mesh 12 corresponds to the inside of the livestock shed, while the other side is located outside. During the use of the livestock feeding equipment, it is convenient to put poultry feed into the hopper 4. Then, according to the feeding standards for poultry, set the weight range of the feed on the controller 17. The system inside the controller 17 will then automatically adjust the feed dosage according to the feeding time. This causes the electric feeder 5 at the bottom of the hopper 4 to operate, allowing the feed in the hopper 4 to fall into the feeding trough 2 on the frame 1. The weighing body 3 between the feeding trough 2 and the frame 1 operates, facilitating the measurement of the amount of feed added to the feeding trough 2. The data measured by the weighing body 3 is easily fed back to the system inside the controller 17, enabling more precise feeding of poultry pups. The electric feeding method is more convenient and labor-saving, allowing for precise feeding according to the growth stage of the poultry pups. Furthermore, when the feed in the feeding trough 2 is increased to a set amount... During the interval, the system inside the controller 17 can operate the electric feeder 5 and block the discharge end of the hopper 4. Then, the servo motor 10 inside the frame 1 operates, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer 9, it drives the lead screw 8 in the slide 6 to rotate, allowing the lead screw 8 to screw into the slide block 7 and slide along the slide 6. Subsequently, the slide block 7 can drive the hopper 4 to move up and down along the frame 1. Simultaneously, the hopper 4 can drive the orifice plate 11 and the grid plate 12 to move up and down, releasing the blocked opening of the frame 1, allowing the hopper to... The young poultry can eat the feed inside the feeding trough 2, making it convenient to feed them. After feeding, the infrared sensor 13 can detect the area below the mouth plate 11 and the area below the frame 1. Under the control of the internal system of the controller 17, if there are no young poultry, the screw 8 can be driven to rotate and the hopper 4 can be moved down. At the same time, the mouth plate 11 can move the grid plate 12 down and block and protect the feeding port on the frame 1. Then, the feed can be accurately fed into the feeding trough 2, making it convenient to continue feeding at feeding time.
