Detailed Description

The present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings and examples.

Example 1:

as shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a suspension feeding device, which is composed of a servo motor 1, a winch 2, a rope 3, a hook 4, a protection tube 5, a limit pad 6 and a spring post 8.

Servo motor 1 is fixed in the eminence of building wall, and capstan winch 2 is connected with servo motor 1 transmission, and the one end fag end of rope 3 installs couple 4, and the other end is received and is twisted in capstan winch 2. The winch 2 is driven by the servo motor 1 to rotate forwards or reversely, so that the rope 3 is wound and unwound, and the hook 4 is driven to lift. The hook 4 is lowered to the ground height, the feeding personnel bind and hang the food on the hook 4, and then the servo motor 1 is started to rise, so that the suspended feeding can be carried out.

As shown in fig. 1, the rope 3 has poor stability when suspending a heavy object in the air, and the animal is affected by large shaking amplitude to eat food. And the bare rope 3 is easily wound around the antler of the fed giraffe or around adjacent branches, causing injury to the giraffe or damage to the device. Therefore, in the embodiment, a protection pipe 5 is additionally arranged between the preset feeding height and the winch 2, and the protection pipe 5 is vertically installed and fixed on the building wall. The end of the rope 3 provided with the hook 4 passes through the inner cavity of the protection tube 5 from top to bottom, and the rope 3 is hidden, so that the rope 3 is prevented from being wound. Moreover, the protective tube 5 can limit the shaking range of the rope 3, which is more beneficial for animals to eat. If the rope 3 is twisted until the food is pressed against the bottom port of the protection tube 5, the position of the food can be firmly fixed and does not shake any more. The height of the bottom port of the protection tube 5 above the ground can reach 3-5 m.

As shown in fig. 2, if the winch 2 has too large winding force, the hook 4 may be retracted into the bottom port of the protection tube 5, and the food may be deformed and blocked in the inner cavity of the protection tube 5. Therefore, the rope 3 is sleeved with the limiting pad 6, the limiting pad 6 is positioned between the bottom port of the protection tube 5 and the hook 4, and the area of the limiting pad 6 is larger than the sectional area of the protection tube 5. When the hook 4 is close to the bottom port of the protection tube 5, the limit pad 6 firstly supports against the port and seals the port, so that the hook 4 cannot enter. Not only the stability of hanging food on the hook 4 is ensured, but also the problem of blocking of the protection tube 5 is avoided.

As shown in fig. 2, since the precision of the servo motor 1 for controlling the winch 2 to reel and reel the rope 3 is low, the situation that the limiting pad 6 is not abutted or squeezed excessively from the bottom port of the protection pipe 5 often occurs. If the limiting pad 6 is not abutted against the bottom end opening of the protection tube 5, the food suspended by the hook 4 still shakes. If the limiting pad 6 is often excessively squeezed, the limiting pad is easily damaged and needs to be replaced frequently. Therefore, a spring post 8 is added between the position limiting pad 6 and the hook 4. When the servo motor 1 is operated, the visual inspection of the position-limiting pad 6 is actually abutted against the port at the bottom of the protection tube 5 as a reference, so that the condition that the two are not contacted is avoided. The spring column 8 can provide supporting force for tightly supporting the hook 4 to keep food stable, can relieve extrusion of the limiting pad 6 and prolong the service life of the limiting pad 6.

It is worth mentioning that as shown in fig. 2, the end opening of the protection tube 5 is arranged to be an everted and folded tube opening structure with the outer edge 51, so that the contact area between the protection tube and the limiting pad 6 is increased, and the damage to the limiting pad 6 is reduced. And simultaneously, the stability of the food suspended on the hook 4 can be increased. The limiting pad 6 is made of rubber materials, so that the limiting pad 6 has excellent elasticity and toughness, and damage caused by collision and extrusion between the limiting pad and the bottom port of the protection tube 5 is reduced. Meanwhile, the anti-skidding characteristic of the rubber material is utilized, the transverse slipping of the limiting pad 6 at the bottom port of the protective tube 5 is avoided, and the stability of hanging food is further improved.

As shown in figure 1, the servo motor 1 is arranged at a high position, so that the feeding device is convenient to operate and control and is provided with a remote control assembly 7. The remote control unit 7 is constituted by a control terminal 71, a remote controller 72, and a wireless communication module 73. The control terminal 71 is electrically connected to the servo motor 1, and is used for controlling the start/stop, forward/reverse, of the servo motor 1. The remote controller 72 is connected to the control terminal 71 for remote communication through the wireless communication module 73. The wireless communication module 73 can adopt a 4G/5G signal module or a WIFI signal module, so that a feeder can remotely transmit a control command to instruct the servo motor 1 to execute operation.

Various technical features in the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined as long as there is no conflict or contradiction in the combination between the features, but is limited to the space and is not described one by one.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and variations of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the claims and the equivalent technology if they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
