Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, specifically a quantitative feeder for raising chickens. Background Technology

[0002] The livestock industry, as one of the key ways to improve people's quality of life, widely covers the cultivation of various agricultural products such as chickens, ducks, and fish. Among them, chicken farming is particularly crucial, as it not only relates to the diversity of food supply but also directly affects consumers' dining experience. For a long time, in order to reduce production costs, chickens have mostly been raised in enclosures. The main feed for chickens consists of various grains. In order to reduce the workload of the farmers, feeders are usually used to feed the chickens.

[0003] Traditional chicken feeders are constantly supplying feed during the feeding process, which leads to mice stealing the feed at night, resulting in a significant waste of grain and promoting mouse reproduction, which is detrimental to chicken farming. Consequently, the performance of existing feeders is poor. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a quantitative feeder for chicken farming, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art that existing chicken feeders are constantly supplying feed during the feeding process, leading to the problem of rats stealing feed at night.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a quantitative feeder for chicken farming, comprising a feeding box, a support frame and a weight sensor connected to the inner wall of the feeding box, and a feed plate connected to the side wall at the top of the weight sensor. The support frame has several feeding holes, each of which is connected to a feeding pipe, and each feeding pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve. A switch assembly is rotatably connected to the side wall of the feeding box, and an auxiliary component for use with the switch assembly is installed on the switch assembly. The switch assembly includes two rotating plates rotatably connected to the side wall of the feeding box, and the switch assembly is installed with the auxiliary component through one rotating plate.

[0006] Preferably, a cover plate is fixedly connected to the bottom sidewalls of the two rotating plates, and a linkage plate is rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the two rotating plates. A movable plate is rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the two linkage plates, and the two movable plates are rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the feeding box. A foot pedal is fixedly connected to the top sidewalls of the two movable plates, and the weight of the foot pedal is slightly less than the weight of the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, the auxiliary component includes a storage box sleeved on the outer wall of a plurality of feeding pipes, a baffle rotatably connected to the storage box, two synchronous pulleys provided on the side wall of the baffle, and one of the synchronous pulleys is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle, both of the synchronous pulleys are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box, and a synchronous belt body is driven between the outer walls of the two synchronous pulleys.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the synchronous pulley, and one end of the rotating rod penetrates the inner wall of the feeding box and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating plate.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the feeding box has a feed inlet, and the inner cavity of the feed inlet is slidably connected with a sealing plug.

[0020] 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.

[0021] This utility model embodiment provides a quantitative feeder for chicken farming, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the feeding box 1 includes a support frame 8 and a weight sensor 11 connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 1. A feed plate 10 is connected to the side wall of the top of the weight sensor 11. The weight sensor 11 can detect the weight of the feed falling on the feed plate 10. When the weight of the feed falling on the feed plate 10 is lower than the set value, the weight sensor 11 can feed back the signal to the controller 5, causing the controller 5 to open three solenoid valves 7 to discharge the set weight of feed, thus achieving the purpose of quantitative feeding. The support frame 8 has several feeding holes, and the inner cavity of each feeding hole is connected to a feeding pipe 9. A solenoid valve 7 is installed on each feeding pipe 9. A switch assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the feeding box 1. An auxiliary assembly 6 is installed on the switch assembly 2 to cooperate with the switch assembly 2. The auxiliary assembly 6 can be used to automatically discharge the quantitative feed stored in the feed box 61, so that the chickens can feed themselves. The switch assembly 2 includes two rotating plates 21 rotatably connected to the side wall of the feeding box 1. The switch assembly 2 is installed together with the auxiliary assembly 6 through the rotating plate 21 on one side. The switch assembly 2 can quickly control the bottom of the feeding box 1 so that the chickens can open the bottom of the feeding box 1 to feed themselves.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cover plate 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom sidewall of both rotating plates 21, and a linkage plate 22 is rotatably connected to the sidewall of each of the two rotating plates 21. A movable plate 23 is rotatably connected to the sidewall of each of the two linkage plates 22, and both movable plates 23 are rotatably connected to the sidewall of the feeding box 1. A foot pedal 24 is fixedly connected to the top sidewall of each of the two movable plates 23, and the weight of the foot pedal 24 is slightly less than the weight of the cover plate 25. When the chicken steps on the foot pedal 24, it causes the foot pedal 24 to drive the two movable plates 23 to rotate clockwise. When the two movable plates 23 rotate clockwise, they can drive the two rotating plates 21 to rotate counterclockwise through the two linkage plates 22, causing the two rotating plates 21 to drive the two cover plates 25 to rotate counterclockwise. 5. Moving upwards opens the bottom of the feeding box 1. Simultaneously, after the chicken walks away from the foot pedal 24, the cover 25 moves downwards under its own weight, closing the bottom of the feeding box 1. This achieves the purpose of quickly opening and closing the bottom of the feeding box 1. When the cover 25 moves downwards under its own weight, it can drive the two rotating plates 21 to rotate clockwise. This allows the two rotating plates 21 to drive the two movable plates 23 to rotate counterclockwise through the two linkage plates 22. This causes the two movable plates 23 to drive the foot pedal 24 to move upwards and return to its initial state, preparing for the chicken's next step. At the same time, when the left rotating plate 21 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise, it can also synchronously drive the rotating rod 64 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary component 6 includes a storage box 61 sleeved on the outer wall of several feeding pipes 9. A baffle 65 is rotatably connected to the storage box 61. Two synchronous pulleys 62 are provided on the side wall of the baffle 65, and one of the synchronous pulleys 62 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 65. Both synchronous pulleys 62 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 1. A synchronous belt body 63 is connected between the outer walls of the two synchronous pulleys 62. By controlling the rear synchronous pulley 62 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise, it drives the front synchronous pulley 62 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise through the synchronous belt body 63. This allows the front synchronous pulley 62 to drive the baffle 65 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise, opening or closing the bottom of the storage box 61. This achieves the purpose of automatically discharging a fixed amount of feed stored inside the storage box 61.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a rotating rod 64 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the synchronous pulley 62, and one end of the rotating rod 64 passes through the inner wall of the feeding box 1 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating plate 21. The rotating rod 64 is driven to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise by the rotating plate 21 on the left side, so that the rotating rod 64 can quickly drive the synchronous pulley 62 on the rear side to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the feeding box 1 has a feed inlet, and the inner cavity of the feed inlet is slidably connected with a sealing plug 4. By pulling the sealing plug 4 out of the inner cavity of the feed inlet, the feeder can pre-add a certain amount of feed into the feeding box 1.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding box 1 has two connecting slots, and the inner cavity of the two connecting slots is fitted with a protective cover 3. By fitting the protective cover 3 onto the feeding box 1, the protective cover 3 can protect the controller 5 and prevent the controller 5 from being damaged by the impact of the chicken.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner cavity of the protective cover 3 is equipped with a controller 5, and the controller 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feeding box 1. Through the setting of the controller 5, the controller 5 can make a series of responses when it receives the signal fed back by the weight sensor 11. It also makes it convenient for the breeder to press the operation button on the controller 5 to set the weight detected by the weight sensor 11 to the required value.

[0028] In this embodiment, when using the feeder to feed chickens, the farmer first places the feeder on the ground of the farm. Then, the farmer pulls the sealing plug 4 out of the feed inlet cavity, adds a certain amount of feed into the feed box 1, and then pushes the sealing plug 4 back into the feed inlet. Next, the farmer powers the electronic components of the feeder using an external power source. Then, the farmer removes the protective cover 3 from the feed box 1, presses the operation button on the controller 5 to set the weight detected by the weight sensor 11 to the desired value, and then clips the protective cover 3 back onto the feed box 1. At this point, the weight sensor 11 sends a detected signal back to the controller 5, prompting the controller to... The device 5 opens three solenoid valves 7 to discharge a set weight of feed into the storage bin 61. When the chicken wants to eat, it steps on the foot pedal 24 to open the bottom of the feeding box 1, allowing the set weight of feed stored in the storage bin 61 to fall onto the feed plate 10 for feeding. When the weight sensor 11 detects again that the weight of the feed on the feed plate 10 is lower than the set value, the weight sensor 11 can feed back the signal to the controller 5 again. Repeating the above operation will allow the set weight of feed stored in the storage bin 61 to fall onto the feed plate 10 again, thus enabling the chicken to feed itself and reduce the workload of the breeder.
