Description

Rotary auger used in feeder

Technical Field

The invention relates to a method for applying for the Chinese patent application, wherein the application is applied on the number of 19 months 07 days in 2017, and the application numbers are as follows: 2017100664434 filed as a divisional application of the present patent application entitled "a feeder". The invention relates to a rotary packing auger used in a feeder.

Background

The existing basin-type feeder mainly comprises a rotary auger for conveying the feed, a motor for providing power for the rotary auger, a charging basket for containing the feed and a feeding basin. A rotating auger in the bowl directs feed into a feed basin for feeding livestock, such as pigs.

However, such feeders have a problem after long use: arching, the formation of lumps of feed on the walls of the feed barrel, cannot be removed easily. After a long time, the following problems may occur:

firstly, the longer the time, the more space the arch will occupy, the less and less feed can be effectively used, resulting in low feeding effect.

Secondly, the amount of feed eaten by the pigs or other livestock is less than the calculated amount due to the presence of the knots, thereby affecting the growth rate of the pigs or other livestock.

Finally, the arch-forming feed is easy to get damp, deteriorate and even go moldy because the arch-forming feed is not used for a long time, and if the arch-forming feed is eaten by pigs or other livestock, diarrhea or other diseases are easy to cause.

As the number of the basin-type feeders used in a large-scale farm is huge, the feeders cannot be manually removed one by one. Therefore, the invention and creation of the arch removing device also appear, and the applicant knows that the arch removing device is simple in structure, mainly a steel wire rope is arranged on a rotating rod of a rotating auger, two ends of the steel wire rope are fixed on the rotating auger, and the arc-shaped steel wire rope is enabled to stir the feed through the rotation of the rotating auger.

However, the effect of the arching removal device with such a structure is not good, and the following reasons exist: 1. the area for de-arching is limited and cannot transfer destructive energy to the arching above or below it. 2. The steel wire rope has larger energy for damaging the arching only when rotating at high speed, so a motor with larger power needs to be used, and the equipment cost and the use cost are increased. 3. After the device is used for a long time, the arc-shaped shape formed by the steel wire rope can be changed, the charging barrel can be lengthened and damaged, and the arc-shaped shape can also be shortened and cannot act on an arch forming area. 4. After long-term use, due to abrasion, the metal wire may fall off, so that the normal operation of the device is affected, and even diseases appear after the pig eats the pig food by mistake.

Therefore, the existing basin-type feeder does not have a device for removing the arching, which is more efficient, lower in energy consumption and safer.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention designs a feeder, which solves the technical problem that the existing basin-type feeder does not have a device for removing the accretion arch with higher efficiency, low energy consumption and safety.

In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following scheme:

an automatic feeder, which is characterized in that: comprises that

A feed barrel (7) for filling with dry feed;

the rotary auger (1) conveys dry feed in the charging basket (7) to the discharging nozzle device (3) through rotation;

the motor (6) provides rotary power for the rotary packing auger (1);

a discharge nozzle device (3) which is connected with the outlet end of the charging basket (7) and feeds dry feed, water, independent dry feed and water or a mixture of the dry feed and the water into the feeding basin (8); by "separate" is meant that the dry feed and water are not mixed.

A feed bowl (8) for containing dry feed, water or a mixture of dry feed and water for consumption by livestock;

a control unit which starts or stops the motor (1) to convey dry feed and/or starts or stops the waterway to convey water to the blanking nozzle device (3) or the feeding basin (8);

one part of the arching removing vibration device (2) is positioned in a feed arching area in the charging basket (7), the other part of the arching removing vibration device is fixedly connected with the rotary packing auger (1), and the arching removing vibration device (2) utilizes the rotation of the rotary packing auger (1) to realize the continuous vibration of the part of the arching removing vibration device, which is positioned in the feed arching area, along the axial direction of the rotary packing auger (1), so that the dry feed is prevented from arching in the charging basket (7).

The control unit can start or stop the motor (1) to convey dry feed and/or water in the waterway by triggering signals. When the control unit detects the starting trigger signal, the motor (1) is started to convey dry feed and/or the waterway is started to convey water. The turn-on trigger signal may be generated by: the livestock trigger sensor generates an opening trigger signal, the timer generates the opening trigger signal at regular time or the opening trigger signal is directly input manually through the control switch.

The sensor includes, but is not limited to, a photosensitive sensor, a pressure sensor, an ultrasonic distance measuring sensor, a touch switch, and the like. The photosensitive sensor can be an infrared sensor, when the livestock approaches the feeder, the infrared sensor is triggered, the control unit automatically judges that the livestock needs to eat according to a trigger signal generated by the infrared sensor, and then the motor (1) is started to convey dry feed and/or the waterway is started to convey water; similarly, when the livestock triggers the pressure sensor on the feeding basin (8) or the pressure sensors around the feeding basin (8) (the pressure sensors are triggered by the pig mouths or the pig feet), the control unit also judges that the livestock needs to eat and starts the motor (1) to convey dry feed and/or the waterway to convey water; the ultrasonic distance measuring sensor detects that the distance between the livestock (pigs) and the feeding basin (8) is not more than a preset value, the control unit automatically judges that the livestock needs to eat according to the starting trigger signal and starts the motor (1) to convey dry feed and/or the waterway to convey water.

When the livestock leaves the feeder or leaves the feeder for a certain distance, the sensor is not triggered by the livestock, the sensor sends a closing trigger signal to the control unit, and the control unit closes the motor (1) to deliver dry feed and/or closes the waterway to deliver water. For example, animals (pigs) are far from the feeder and the pressure sensor is not responsive.

The timer generates a trigger signal at regular time, the timer automatically sends an opening trigger signal to the control unit at intervals of preset time N, and the control unit starts the motor (1) to convey dry feed and/or starts a water channel to convey water according to the opening trigger signal; the interval time N can be set according to the interval time of livestock eating; after the motor (1) and/or the waterway operates for a period of time M, the timer automatically sends a closing trigger signal to the control unit, and the control unit closes the motor (1) to convey dry feed and/or closes the waterway to convey water according to the closing trigger signal, wherein N is more than M.

In addition, a control panel can be provided, a switch for controlling the motor (1) to be started or closed and a switch for controlling the water path to be started or closed are arranged on the control panel, one or two of the switches can be manually started to generate a trigger signal, and the motor (1) is started to convey dry feed and/or the water path is started to convey water. Conversely, manual closing of one or both of the switches may generate a close trigger signal.

The control components of the waterway comprise a valve or/and a water pump, and the control unit can realize the output control of the drinking water by selectively controlling the valve, the water pump or controlling any one of the water pump and the valve at the same time. The water channel at the output end of the feeder can be positioned on the blanking nozzle device (3) or the feeding basin (8). When positioned over the feeding basin (8), the mixing of the dry feed with the water takes place in the feeding basin (8). Of course, the mixing of the dry feed and the water in the feeding basin (8) can also be realized by feeding the dry feed and the water into the feeding basin (8) through the dry feed pipeline and the water pipeline of the blanking nozzle device (3) independently and respectively.

Further, the de-arching vibration device (2) comprises two parts: the device comprises a knot removing and arching vibration component (21) and a rotary jacking component (20), wherein the rotary jacking component (20) is fixed on a rotary auger (1) and is provided with a jacking object, and the bottom of the knot removing and arching vibration component (21) is provided with a jacked object; when the rotating jacking component (20) rotates and the jacking object contacts with the jacked object, the arching-removing vibration component (21) is lifted; when the jacking object leaves the jacked object, the arching-removing vibration component (21) is reset under the action of self gravity or a reset component.

Further, the jack-up object is any one of a roller, a bearing or a bulge; the jacked object is any one of a roller, a bearing or a bulge; when the jacking object and the jacked object are both convex objects, at least one convex object is a surface arc-shaped convex object.

Further, the de-arching vibration device (2) comprises two parts: the device comprises a knot removing and arching vibration component (21) and a rotary jacking component (20), wherein the rotary jacking component (20) is fixed on a rotary packing auger (1) and is connected with an eccentric wheel (29) as a jacking object, and the eccentric wheel (29) moves at the bottom of the knot removing and arching vibration component (21); when the vertical distance from the axis of the eccentric wheel (29) to the bottom of the de-arching vibration component (21) is gradually increased, the de-arching vibration component (21) is lifted; when the vertical distance from the axis of the eccentric wheel (29) to the bottom of the knot-removing vibration component (21) is gradually reduced, the knot-removing vibration component (21) is reset under the action of the self gravity or the reset component.

Further, it encircles last rotatory auger patchhole (22) that is equipped with of vibrating part (21) to go the knot, rotary rod (11) part of rotatory auger (1) inserts wherein, rotatory auger (1) during operation, relative displacement takes place for rotary rod (11) and rotatory auger patchhole (22), and the mode of rotatory auger patchhole (22) plays the spacing that the knot encircles vibrating part (21) direction and remove.

Furthermore, the anti-caking arch vibration component (21) is also provided with an extension structure (211) at the inner wall part close to the charging bucket (7), and the extension structure (211) extends towards the upper part of the charging bucket (7), or the lower part of the charging bucket (7) or both the upper part and the lower part of the charging bucket (7) so as to increase the anti-caking arch effect.

Further, the feeding nozzle device (3) comprises a dry feed pipeline (37) and a water pipeline (38), wherein the dry feed pipeline (37) and the water pipeline (38) are mutually independent and respectively send dry feed and water into the feeding basin (8) for mixing; or the dry feed pipeline (37) and the water pipeline (38) are communicated with each other, and dry feed and water are mixed in the blanking nozzle device (3) and then are sent into the feeding basin (8).

Further, the control unit realizes the adjustment of the dry and wet degree of the feed by the following modes:

in the mode a, the control unit closes a valve of a waterway or a water pump of the waterway to ensure that the water inflow of the feeding basin in unit time is zero, and simultaneously the control unit controls the rotary packing auger (1) to ensure that the feed nozzle device (3) outputs dry feed independently, and the feed dryness in the feeding basin (8) is the maximum at the moment;

in the mode b, the control unit turns off the motor, the control unit enables the water inflow of the feeding basin in unit time to be larger than zero, and at the moment, drinking water of livestock is completely filled in the feeding basin (8);

in the mode c, after the control unit simultaneously turns on the motor (6) and the water path, when the humidity of the mixed feed in the feeding basin (8) is increased, the water amount entering in unit time is increased, the dry feed amount entering in unit time is reduced, or the water amount entering in unit time is increased and the dry feed amount entering in unit time is reduced;

and in the mode d, after the control unit simultaneously opens the motor (6), the valve of the water channel and the water pump, when the dryness of the mixed feed in the feeding basin (8) is increased, the water quantity entering in unit time is reduced, the dry feed quantity entering in unit time is increased, or the water quantity entering in unit time is reduced and the dry feed quantity entering in unit time is increased.

The above-described modes are all based on the following facts: 1. the control unit controls the rotation speed of the motor to increase, so that the rotation speed of the rotary auger is increased, and as a result, the dry feed entering the feed nozzle device in unit time is increased; otherwise, it is decreased. 2. The control unit controls the valve and the water pump on the water path. 3. When the mode c and the mode d are independently mentioned to increase (reduce) the water quantity entering the feed nozzle device (3) in unit time, the dry feed quantity entering the feed nozzle device (3) in unit time is unchanged. Similarly, when the mode c and the mode d are independently referred to as 'increasing (decreasing) the dry feed amount entering the feed nozzle device (3) in unit time', the water amount entering the feed nozzle device (3) in unit time is unchanged.

Further, the control unit automatically arranges the modes a, b, c and d according to the age and diet characteristics of the livestock, and stops the motor and the water pump after each mode is finished for N minutes to perform another mode again to wait for the livestock to eat so as to avoid the phenomenon that the feed or the water is not eaten and is not fresh.

The above diet characteristic according to the age of livestock means that livestock (such as pig) eat relatively dilute feed at the time of birth and relatively dry feed after the age is larger. Therefore, piglet use pattern c shortly after birth; after the piglets grow to a certain age, the way d is adjusted.

Mode b can realize a function of independently feeding water to livestock. So that the feeder also has the function of water feeding. Of course, in a broad sense, the water feed is part of the feed.

Furthermore, the ordering of modes includes not only ordering between different modes, such as arranging mode b after mode d, but also ordering between the same modes, such as continuing mode c 2 hours after mode c. Of course, if the valve size, the motor speed and the water pump pressure are set in the former mode, the parameters do not need to be adjusted again in the latter mode, and only the former mode parameters need to be maintained.

Compared with the traditional feeder, the feeder of the invention has the following beneficial effects:

(1) the arching removing vibration device utilizes the rotation of the rotary packing auger to realize the continuous vertical or horizontal vibration of the part of the rotary packing auger positioned in the area where the arching of the feed is easy to occur, and the arching in the whole charging basket can be removed in an all-around way by transferring energy upwards and/or downwards.

(2) According to the invention, the abrasion gear is additionally arranged on the rotating rod, so that the feed can be finely ground by matching the mixing end with the helical blades and the plurality of grinding troughs, and the edible taste of pigs or livestock is improved.

(3) The knot removing blade of the knot removing auxiliary device is used for removing knots in the end of the material receiving funnel and preventing the end of the material receiving funnel from forming knots to block a blanking channel.

(4) According to the invention, the first mixing blade and the second mixing blade of the material pushing and mixing rod are further mixed under the combined action and move to the edge of the mixing plate, and the mixed feed moving to the edge of the mixing plate is pushed out to the feeding basin by the material pushing blade so as to avoid the mixed feed from being accumulated on the mixing plate and blocking the discharge port end.

(5) According to the invention, the electrode A is arranged at a position higher than the electrode B, a closed loop is formed when the mixed feed covers the electrode A, and the control unit can automatically stop the motor from conveying dry materials and close the valve to convey drinking water after receiving a closed signal of the loop. On the contrary, when the control unit does not detect the loop closing signal, the motor is started to convey dry materials and the valve is started to convey drinking water, so that the accuracy of water conveying and material feeding is realized.

Detailed Description

The invention is further described below with reference to fig. 1 to 20:

as shown in figure 1, the feeder of the present invention uses a rotary auger 1 for feeding dry feed from a bucket 7 to a feed pan 8. The rotary auger 1 consists of a rotary rod 11 and a spiral blade 12, one end of the spiral blade 12 is axially distributed along the rotary rod 11, the other end of the spiral blade 12 is independently arranged and is not connected with the rotary rod 11, and the independently arranged spiral blade 12 axially forms a hollow part for placing a material pushing and mixing rod 4.

In addition, the rotary auger 1 can also be a common rotary auger 1, namely, the helical blades 12 are connected with the rotary rod 11.

As shown in figure 2, the rotary packing auger 1 in the feeder of the invention has a second structure. The rotary auger 1 consists of a rotary rod 11 and a spiral blade 12, one end of the spiral blade 12 is axially distributed along the rotary rod 11, the other end of the spiral blade 12 is independently arranged and is not connected with the rotary rod 11, and the independently arranged spiral blade 12 axially forms a hollow part for placing a material pushing and mixing rod 4.

But it differs from that in fig. 1 in that: 1. the rotary rod 11 is a hollow structure, the hollow structure is a water delivery channel 13, and drinking water is mixed with dry feed after leaving the rotary rod 11 through the water delivery channel 13. 2. A wear gear 14 is connected to the rotating rod 11, and the wear gear 14 is located between the two spiral blades 12. The worn gear 14 serves to further grind the dry feed. The worn gear 14 may be adapted for use in the arrangement of fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 3, the desmearing vibration device 2 includes two parts: the device comprises a knot arch removing vibration component 21 and a rotary jacking component 20, wherein the rotary jacking component 20 is fixed on a rotary auger 1 and is provided with a jacking object, and the bottom of the knot arch removing vibration component 21 is provided with a jacked object; in the rotating process of the rotating jacking component, when the jacking object contacts with the jacked object, the arching-removing vibration component 21 is lifted; when the jacking object leaves the jacked object, the arching-removing vibration component 21 is reset under the action of self gravity or a reset piece.

Specifically, the arching-removing vibration member 21 is a circular plate having an edge extending to an arching-prone region. The circle center of the circular plate is provided with a rotary auger insertion hole 22, and the rotary rod penetrates through the rotary auger insertion hole 22 and can mutually displace under the action of force.

Therefore, the arching-removing vibration member 21 is horizontally limited by the rotary rod 11 and the rotary auger insertion hole 22, and can only move vertically. However, the horizontal position limit of the arching-removing vibration component 21 is not limited to the above structure, and a horizontal position limit structure formed on the inner wall of the charging basket 7 can prevent the arching-removing vibration component 21 from moving horizontally, and the position limit structure includes, but is not limited to, a position limit slot.

The anti-caking arch vibration component 21 is also provided with a baffle 23, the anti-caking arch vibration component 21 on one side of the baffle 23 is provided with a feed opening 28, an acute angle is formed between the baffle 23 and the horizontal plane of the uppermost part of the feed opening 28, and the baffle 23 can prevent feed from blocking the feed opening 28, so that the feed opening 28 can continuously feed.

Of course, the arching removing vibration member 21 may not be provided with the feeding opening 28, and the gap between the arching removing vibration member 21 and the charging basket 7 may be the feeding opening.

The bottom of the arching-removing vibration component 21 is provided with a protrusion 24, and the protrusion 24 is also a jacked object, which can be a trapezoidal platform, a hemispherical platform, a triangular platform, a cube, a cuboid or other irregular bodies. However, in the case of a cube or cuboid, the radius of the rolling member 25 is greater than the height of the cube or cuboid to ensure that the rolling member 25 can be flipped over the cube or cuboid.

The rotary jacking component consists of a rotary rod fixing sleeve 26, a rolling component 25 and a connecting shaft 27, the rotary jacking component is rigidly connected with the rotary rod 11 through the rotary rod fixing sleeve 26, one end of the connecting shaft 27 is connected with the rolling component 25, and the other end of the connecting shaft 27 is fixedly connected with the rotary rod fixing sleeve 26. The rolling member 25, i.e., the jack-up, is a roller or a bearing.

Further, when the jack-up object can be any one of a roller, a bearing or a protrusion, the jacked-up object can be a roller or a bearing. When the jacking object is a roller or a bearing, the jacked object is any one of the roller, the bearing or a bulge. When the jacking object and the jacked object are both convex objects, at least one convex object is a surface arc-shaped convex object.

As shown in fig. 4, the rolling member 25 of the rotary jacking member is moved to a position a by the drive of the rotary auger 1, the position a indicates that the rolling member 25 is not yet in contact with the projection 24 of the arching removing vibration member 21, and the rolling member 25 only travels on the bottom plane of the arching removing vibration member 21. When the rolling member 25 continues to move and come into contact with the protrusion 24, it moves along an inclined surface of the protrusion 24 toward the top of the protrusion 24, and since the rolling member 25 cannot be displaced in the vertical direction, it gradually lifts up the protrusion 24 and causes the knock-out vibration member 21 to be lifted as a whole. When the rolling member 25 is located at the position B, the position where the debouncing vibration member 21 is lifted is highest. When the rolling member 25 continues to move, it moves along the other inclined surface of the projection 24 toward the bottom plane of the arching-removing vibration member 21, and the projection 24 is gradually lowered, and the arching-removing vibration member 21 is gradually restored as a whole. When the rolling member 25 is located at the position C, the rolling member 25 again travels on the bottom plane of the de-arching vibration member 21, and a complete up-and-down vibration process of the de-arching vibration member 21 is completed. The rolling member 25 continues to move and the whole procedure described above will be repeated.

It should be noted that the arching removing vibration member 21 and the rotating jacking member are vertically interactive, so that the arching removing vibration member 21 can be reset by its own weight. If the arching removing vibration part 21 and the rotary jacking part are mutually acted in the horizontal direction, the arching removing vibration part 21 can be reset by connecting a reset spring or other reset parts.

As shown in fig. 5, the desmearing vibration device 2 includes two parts: the device comprises an arching removing vibration component 21 and a rotary jacking component, wherein the rotary jacking component is fixed on the rotary packing auger 1 and is connected with an eccentric wheel 29 as a jacking object, and the eccentric wheel 29 moves at the bottom of the arching removing vibration component 21.

Specifically, the arching-removing vibration component 21 is a circular plate, a rotary auger insertion hole 22 is formed in the center of the circular plate, and the rotary rod penetrates through the rotary auger insertion hole 22 and can mutually displace under the action of force.

The rotary jacking component consists of a rotary rod fixing sleeve 26, an eccentric wheel 29 and a connecting shaft 27, the rotary jacking component is rigidly connected with the rotary rod 11 through the rotary rod fixing sleeve 26, one end of the connecting shaft 27 is connected with the eccentric wheel 29 through a connecting bearing 291, and the other end of the connecting shaft 27 is fixedly connected with the rotary rod fixing sleeve 26.

The working principle is as follows: when the vertical distance from the axis of the connecting shaft 27 of the eccentric wheel 29 to the bottom of the arching removing vibration component 21 is gradually increased, the arching removing vibration component 21 is lifted; when the vertical distance from the axis of the connecting shaft 27 of the eccentric wheel 29 to the bottom of the arching-removing vibration component 21 is gradually reduced, the arching-removing vibration component 21 is reset under the action of the self gravity or a reset piece.

The structure of the main body of the anti-arching vibration member 21 in fig. 3, 4 and 5 is a circular plate, but the actual shape thereof may be various. An extension structure can be created on the body structure that covers up to all arch prone areas. And the extension structure can not only extend upwards, but also extend downwards to cover the easy arching area of the whole charging basket 7.

As shown in FIG. 6, the main structure of the arching-removing vibration member 21 and the extension structure 211 form an "H" shape, and the upper opening of the "H" shape is large, and the lower opening is small, which is matched with the cone-shaped charging basket 8.

As shown in fig. 7, the extension structure 211 comprises an extension rod 2111, and a spiral cutting ring 2112 is provided in the length direction of the extension rod 2111, wherein the spiral cutting ring 2112 can well break the knot arch on the barrel wall.

The circular cylinder with large diameter can be provided with a hole to be connected with an external water path.

As shown in fig. 9, the second structure of the nozzle device 3 is that the dry feed pipeline and the water pipeline are communicated with each other to mix the dry feed and the water in the nozzle device and then feed the mixture into the feeding basin.

Specifically, the blanking nozzle device 3 is composed of a receiving funnel end 31, a mixing end 32 and a discharge opening end 33 from top to bottom. The rotary packing auger 1 is inserted into the blanking nozzle device 3. The inner tubular wall of the mixing end 32 is provided with a plurality of milling grooves 34, and the plurality of milling grooves 34 are matched with the helical blades 12 to finely mill the feed. If the rotary auger 1 in fig. 2 is adopted, the abrasion gear 14 on the rotary rod 11 can be matched with the spiral blade 12 and the multi-channel grinding trough 34 at the mixing end 32 to grind the feed, and the grinding effect in fig. 2 is better than that in fig. 1.

The mixing end 32 is provided with a water inlet 35, drinking water enters the mixing end 32 through the water inlet 35 and is mixed with dry feed, and the mixed feed enters the feeding basin 8 through the discharge port end 33. In addition to the above-described way of arranging the water inlet 35 at the mixing end 32, there is an alternative way: as shown in figure 2, the rotating rod 11 is provided with a water feeding channel 13, drinking water is mixed with dry feed at a mixing end 32 after leaving an axial water outlet of the rotating rod 11, and the water feeding mode can ensure that the mixing effect is better and the water outlet cannot be blocked.

A material mixing plate 36 is connected below the discharge port end 33, and the material mixing plate 36 plays a role of supporting the material pushing and mixing rod 4 and providing a platform for pushing and mixing materials.

As shown in fig. 10, the material pushing and mixing rod 4 includes a rod body 41, and the material pushing blade 42, the first material mixing blade 43 and the second material mixing blade 44 are connected to the same end of the rod body 41. The length of the pushing blade 42 is the longest among the three, the second mixing blade is 44 times, the first mixing blade 43 is the shortest (the length is based on the longest straight line distance from each blade to the rod body 41), and the thickness of the pushing blade 42 is the thickest among the three. The arc-shaped concave portion of the first mixing blade 43 is opposite to the arc-shaped concave portion of the second mixing blade 44, and the arc-shaped convex portion of the pusher blade 42 is opposite to the arc-shaped convex portion of the second mixing blade 44.

As shown in fig. 11, the rod body 41 is held and fixed to the independent helical blade 12 of fig. 1 and 2 to form a hollow portion in the axial direction. Rotatory auger 1 will drive the body of rod 41 and rotate when rotating, and the mixed feed that falls into mixing plate 36 central point portion further mixes and removes to mixing plate 36 edge under first mixing blade 43 and second mixing blade 44 combined action, and the mixed feed that moves to mixing plate 36 edge is pushed away material blade 42 and is avoided mixed feed to pile up on mixing plate 36 in pushing away the material basin 8, blocks up discharge gate end 33.

As shown in FIG. 12, whether the device 5 is set up or not can be selected by the customer, and the existence or not does not affect the normal operation of the feeder, but the feeder can be optimized.

The arching removing auxiliary device 5 comprises an arching removing auxiliary platform 51, an arching removing blade 52 and a fixing sleeve 53. The knot removing auxiliary platform 51 is a circular platform, is fixed on the rotary auger 1 through a fixing sleeve 53 and is positioned below the knot removing vibration device 2, and a knot removing blade 52 is arranged at the bottom of the knot removing auxiliary platform 51 and is used for removing knots in the material receiving funnel end 31, so that the knot removing blade 52 is prevented from blocking a blanking channel due to the knots in the material receiving funnel end 31.

As shown in fig. 13, the feeding bowl 8 is connected to the lower nozzle device 3 by a plurality of support bars 81, and the plurality of support bars 81 divide the feeding bowl 8 into a plurality of feeding areas. The feeding basin 8 is made of conductive metal, and the bottom of the feeding basin is provided with an electrode B83; the electrode A82 is arranged at a position higher than the electrode B83, when the mixed feed covers the electrode A82, the electrode B83 and the electrode A82 form a closed loop, and the control unit receives a closed signal of the closed loop, so that the feed in the feeding basin 8 is sufficient, feeding is not needed, and the motor 6 should be stopped to deliver dry feed and the valve should be closed to deliver drinking water. On the contrary, when the control unit does not detect the loop closing signal, which indicates that the feed in the feeding basin 8 is insufficient, and needs to be supplemented, the control unit will start the motor 6 to deliver dry materials and start the valve to deliver drinking water.

However, the above premise still requires a touch switch, which is triggered when the pig or the livestock approaches the feeding basin 8, and the control unit detects whether there is a loop closing signal after triggering the touch switch.

Of course, the present invention may be designed more simply in that the motor 3 and water circuit are activated after the trigger switch or sensor is triggered when the pig or animal approaches the feed basin 8. Feeding was started. The stopping of the feeder can be manually completed or automatically set. The following is the manner of automatic setting.

There may also be two situations: although electrode a82 forms a closed loop signal, there is no edible feed in other areas of the feeding basin 8, or the control unit does not detect the closed loop signal, but there is enough edible feed in other areas of the feeding basin 8, and the continued addition would be a wasteful situation.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention divides the feeding basin 8 into a plurality of areas, each area is correspondingly provided with an electrode a82, each electrode a82 and electrode B83 can form a closed loop, and when the control unit detects that a plurality of closed loops are formed, the feeding and the water feeding are stopped. When the control unit does not detect a plurality of loop closing signals, feeding and water feeding are carried out so as to ensure the efficiency and sanitation of livestock feed use and avoid the waste and mildewing of the feed.

As shown in fig. 14, the first automatic control method of the feeder of the present invention is as follows:

step 1, detecting whether livestock needs to eat when approaching a touch feeder through a sensor;

when the livestock or the pigs approach the feeder, the sensors are triggered to indicate that the livestock or the pigs need to eat, and the sensors send starting trigger signals to the control unit;

step 2, the control unit starts the motor (1) to convey dry feed and/or starts the waterway to convey water to the blanking nozzle device (3) or the feeding basin (8);

step 3, when the livestock or the pigs leave the feeder, the livestock or the pigs do not need to eat any more, the sensor cannot be triggered by the livestock or the pigs, and the sensor sends a closing trigger signal to the control unit;

and 4, the control unit closes the motor (1) to convey dry materials and/or water paths.

The above method can solve the problems of diet of livestock, but there are problems of feed waste and feed stale, so that further improvement can be made by the following more preferable method.

The second automatic control method of the feeder of the invention is as follows:

step 1, the control unit confirms whether the sensor and the detection device are both triggered through signals, wherein the sensor automatically detects whether the livestock is close to the touch feeder and needs to eat; the detection device automatically determines whether there is sufficient dry and wet feed mixture in the feed basin of the feeder;

according to the habit of feeding livestock or pigs, when the livestock or pigs are close to the feeder, the livestock or pigs need to eat, and a sensor is automatically triggered and sends an opening trigger signal A to the control unit.

Specifically, when the livestock or the pig needs to eat, the head of the livestock or the pig can be automatically extended into the feeding basin 8 or close to the feeding basin 8, a touch rod a and a touch ring b are arranged above the feeding basin 8 or around the feeding basin 8, the touch rod a and the touch ring b are electric conductors and are connected with the control unit, the touch rod a is inserted into the touch ring b, and the touch rod a can be in contact with the touch ring b under the action of external force. When the animal (pig) needs to eat, it pushes the touch lever a so that the touch lever a and the touch ring b come into contact. After the touch rod a, the touch ring b and the control unit form a closed loop, a starting trigger signal is generated, so that the feeding device starts to work. The touch rod a and the touch ring b are touch switches and also belong to a sensor.

The specific working mode is as follows: as shown in fig. 14, in the normal state, when there is no touch, the touch lever a is in the high level state (5 v), and the touch ring b is in the low level state (0 v). As shown in fig. 15, when the pig touches the touch rod a, the touch rod a and the touch ring b touch each other, and at this time, the level of the touch rod a is pulled low to a low level, and at this time, the single chip I/O of the control unit reads the level signal, that is, the pig touches at the low level, and the pig does not touch at the high level; the level signal is the start activation signal a.

The detection means comprise an electrode a82 and an electrode B83, and the control unit starts to detect whether the electrode B (83) connected to the feeding basin (8) and one or more electrodes a (82) suspended above it (not connected to the feeding basin) generate a closed loop signal.

The plurality of electrodes A82 are provided to determine whether the feed mixture is uniformly distributed in the feeding basin, so as to avoid the situation that the feed mixture is not enough to be eaten by livestock. The purpose of positioning electrode a (82) above electrode B (83) is to ensure that the feed mixture in the feed basin has a certain height or amount sufficient for livestock to use when the circuit is ready, and also to ensure that the feed mixture does not overflow by being overflowed.

As shown in FIG. 15, an electrode A82 is arranged below the probe rod c, and when the feeding basin 8 is not full, the electrode A82 is suspended. Electrode A82 is at a high level (5 v) and electrode B83 on the feeding basin 8 is at a low level (0 v). At this point, no closed loop is created and the control unit determines that the bowl feed is insufficient to replenish dry feed and water based on electrode a82 being at a high level (5 v). The control unit acquires the signal of the electrode A82 as an opening trigger signal B. The control unit activates the motor and the water circuit in the feeding device according to the simultaneous presence of the starting activation signals A and B.

If there are a plurality of electrodes A82, then it is necessary to satisfy that at least some number of electrodes A82 are all high (5 v) to make sure that the bowl needs to be filled with feed and water.

Step 2, if the livestock is close to the feeding basin and two conditions of insufficient dry and wet feed mixtures are simultaneously met, starting a feeding device to input dry feed and water or a mixture of the dry feed and the water into the feeding basin; otherwise, the feeding device is not started.

When the control unit detects that the livestock needs to eat and detects that a closed loop signal is not detected or the number of the closed loop signals is less than a set value, the control unit indicates that the feed and the water in the feed basin (8) need to be added, and the motor (6) and a valve or a water pump of the water path are started. Otherwise, the motor (6) and the valve or the water pump of the water path are not started. The feeding device comprises a motor for conveying dry feed, a rotary auger and a water path for conveying water.

The above-mentioned detecting device is also a kind of sensor in a certain point of view, but the two are different in the object and action to be detected, and they are named differently for the sake of convenience of distinction. Based on the above embodiment, it can be concluded that the number of sensors connected to the control unit can be multiple, and the sensors can respectively undertake different work tasks, and the control unit can only start the feeding device when receiving the trigger signals of the two sensors at the same time. Thus ensuring accurate feeding and avoiding waste of feed and stale feed for livestock.

And 3, if the control unit determines that the feed mixture amount in the feed basin of the feeder reaches a set value according to the detection device in the working process of the feeding device, stopping the working of the feeding device.

As shown in fig. 16, after the feed is dried and drained, the water and the feed slowly rise. When electrode A82 hits the water in the feed basin 8, the electrical signal in electrode A82 is looped through the water to electrode B83 on the feed basin 8 to the control unit. The voltage at electrode a82 will change constantly as the water and material rise. At this time, the singlechip of the control unit simulates an I/O port, the voltage change state of the collecting electrode A82 is acquired, and when the voltage reaches a certain value (1.8 v), the control unit judges that the feeding basin 8 is full. When the voltage reaches a certain value (1.8 v), the signal collected by the control unit is a closing trigger signal, and the control unit closes the motor 6 and the water channel according to the closing trigger signal.

Specifically, the motor (6) drives dry feed conveyed by the rotary auger (1) and water conveyed by a water channel to enter the feeding basin (8), the mixture of the dry feed and the water has conductivity, and finally, the electrode B (83) and one or more electrodes A (82) are completely covered to form one or more closed loops, and when the control unit detects one closed loop signal or detects that the number of the closed loop signals is more than a set value, the motor (6) and a valve or a water pump of the water channel are closed.

In the step 3, when the motor 6 drives the rotary auger 1 to convey dry feed, the knot arch removing vibration device 2 on the rotary auger 1 can realize continuous vibration of the part of the rotary auger 1, which is located in the area where the feed is easy to knot and arch, by utilizing the rotation of the rotary auger 1, and the knot and arch can be removed.

Further, if the first configuration of the feed nozzle assembly 3 of FIG. 8 is selected for feeding and supplying water (or the mode in which dry feed enters the feed basin from the feed nozzle assembly 3 and water enters the feed basin directly) in step 4, the following will be the case:

and 4, selecting any one of the modes a, B, c and d by the control unit according to the setting to supply water and dry feed, mixing the dry feed conveyed by the rotary auger 1 and water conveyed by the water channel into the feeding basin 8 from the feed nozzle device 3, completely covering the electrode B83 and the electrode A82 with the mixture to form one or more closed loops, and closing the motor 6 and the valve of the water channel when the control unit detects a closed loop signal or detects that the number of the closed loop signals is more than a set value.

The second automatic control method of the feeder of the invention can also be changed as follows: the working sequence of the sensor and the detection device is sequenced:

step 1, a control unit automatically detects whether livestock needs to eat when approaching a touch feeder through a sensor; upon confirmation of the proximity of the animal (pig) to the feed basin, the control unit automatically determines whether there is sufficient dry-wet feed mixture in the feed basin of the feeder by means of the detection device.

Or, in step 1, the control unit automatically determines whether the feed mixture in the feeding basin of the feeder is enough or not through the detection device, and automatically detects whether the livestock (pigs) need to eat close to the feeder through the sensor when the dry and wet feed in the feeding basin is insufficient or not.

The most important differences between fig. 18 and fig. 19 are: and (5) setting a water delivery mode. In fig. 18, water is fed through a water inlet 35 arranged at the mixing end 32, and drinking water enters the tubular part of the mixing end 32 through the water inlet 35 to be mixed with dry feed. And figure 15 shows that the rotating rod 11 is provided with a water feeding channel 13, and drinking water leaves the axial water outlet of the rotating rod 11 and then is mixed with dry feed at a mixing end 32.

As shown in fig. 20, the feeder is a single-arm supporting structure 9, the single-arm supporting structure 9 includes a connecting bracket 91, the upper end of the single-arm supporting structure 9 is connected with the upper end of the charging basket 7, the lower end of the single-arm supporting structure 9 is fixedly connected with the feeding basin 8, the middle part of the single-arm supporting structure 9 is connected with the lower end of the charging basket 7 through the connecting bracket 91, and the single-arm supporting structure 9 can increase the effective feeding area of the feeding basin 8.

Further, the feed nozzle device 3 used in fig. 20 is the first structure in fig. 8.

The invention is described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is obvious that the implementation of the invention is not limited in the above manner, and it is within the scope of the invention to adopt various modifications of the inventive method concept and solution, or to apply the inventive concept and solution directly to other applications without modification.
