Abstract
Description
Bei der Fütterung von Groß- insbesondere Rindvieh muß das in den Stall (Tenne) mit mehr oder weniger maschinellen Hilfsmitteln eingeführte Dürr-, Silo- oder Grünfutter von dem so gebildeten Haufen mit viel Arbeits- und Zeitaufwand auf die Futterplätze der einzelnen Tiere verteilt werden, wobei es kaum möglich ist dem unterschiedlichen Futterbedarf der einzelnen Tiere Rechnung zu tragen. Die Fütterung der Tiere stellt daher einen wesentlichen Faktor im Arbeitspro gramm eines Tierhalters dar.When feeding large cattle, especially cattle, this must go to the barn (Tenne) Dürr, silo introduced with more or less mechanical aids or green fodder from the heap formed in this way with a lot of work and time be distributed to the feeding places of the individual animals, whereby it is hardly possible the different feed requirements of the individual animals must be taken into account. Feeding the animals is therefore an essential factor in the work process grams of an animal keeper.
Da aber bei den heutigen Verhältnissen hohe Lohn kosten in einem Landwirtschaftsbetrieb nicht mehr tragbar sind, muß auch hier angestrebt werden die Arbeit maschinell auszuführen und soweit als möglich zu automatisieren.But because of the current conditions, high wages costs in an agricultural enterprise are no longer acceptable, must also the aim here is to carry out the work mechanically and as far as possible to automate.
Die vorliegende Erfindung kommt diesem Bedürfnis entgegen und schlägt eine automatisch wirkende Anlage zur Futterverteilung vor, ihre wesentlichen Merk male sind im Patentanspruch angegeben.The present invention addresses this need and proposes one automatically acting system for feed distribution before, their essential feature male are specified in the claim.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung soll anhand der Zeichnung nachfolgend näher erläutert werden, in dieser zeigtAn exemplary embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawing are explained in more detail in this shows
Fig. 1 die ganze Anlage schematisch im Grundriß, Fig. 1, the entire system schematically in plan view,
Fig. 2 den im ganzen Stall (Tenne) verfahrbaren Futterverteiler, FIG. 2 is movable across the barn (threshing) Feeder,
Fig. 3 den Greifer zur Erfassung einer bestimmten Futtermenge, Fig. 3 shows the gripper for detecting a certain amount of food,
Fig. 4 die Tastvorrichtung zur Bemessung der zu ergreifenden Futtermenge. Fig. 4, the sensing device for measuring the amount of feed to be taken.
Gemäß Fig. 1 wird das in den Stall eingefahrene oder eingeworfene Futter zu einem großen Haufen, vorzugsweise am Ende des Stalles zusammengeschoben. Die normalerweise beidseits des Hauptganges angeordneten Viehstandorte 2 (eingekreis te Tiernummern) mit den Futterstellen können durch den Futterverteiler 1 in dividuell bedient werden, und zwar wird dabei, wie später noch beschrieben, jeder Futterstelle durch Steuerung von einer frei programmierbaren Software eine individuelle Futtermenge zugeteilt.According to FIG. 1, the feed that has been inserted or thrown into the barn is pushed together into a large pile, preferably at the end of the barn. The livestock locations 2 (circled animal numbers) with the feeding places, which are normally arranged on both sides of the main aisle, can be served individually by the feed distributor 1 , and, as will be described later, each feeding point is assigned an individual feed quantity by the control of freely programmable software.
Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, kann der ganze Futterverteiler auf Schienen 3 in der Längsrichtung x des Stalles und auf einer Querschiene 4 senkrecht dazu - in y-Richtung - mittels eines Gleitkopfes 5 verfahren werden. Der Gleitkopf enthält auch hydraulisch wirkende Antriebsmittel, durch welche die teleskopisch ausfahrbare Tragstange 6 aus- und eingefahren und um ihre Achse um 180° ge schwenkt werden kann. Die am unteren Ende der Tragstange 6 angeordnete Greifvor richtung 7 ist um eine Achse 8 in die gestrichelt dargestellte Lage schwenkbar, damit das Futter an den einzelnen Futterstellen abgegeben werden kann. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the entire feed distributor can be moved on rails 3 in the longitudinal direction x of the barn and on a transverse rail 4 perpendicularly thereto - in the y direction - by means of a sliding head 5 . The sliding head also contains hydraulically acting drive means through which the telescopically extendable support rod 6 can be extended and retracted and pivoted about its axis by 180 °. The arranged at the lower end of the support rod 6 Greifvor direction 7 is pivotable about an axis 8 in the position shown in dashed lines so that the feed can be delivered to the individual feed points.
Diese 90°-Schwenkung erfolgt mit Hilfe der hydraulisch angetriebenen Zylinder- und Gelenkstäbe 9. Die Tastvorrichtung 10 gemäß Fig. 3 und 4 gestattet die von der Greifvorrichtung 7 zu erfassende Futtermenge nach Wunsch zu dosieren. Diese Dosierung sei anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 näher erläutert. Sobald die Greifvor richtung 7 über den Futterhaufen gefahren ist, wird die Tragstange 6 und damit die Tastvorrichtung 10 nach unten auf den Haufen gedrückt. Dabei wird in Abhän gigkeit von der Kraft die auf den Haufen ausgeübt wird und die auf die Platte 11 einwirkt das Federsystem 12, 13 zusammengedrückt. Mit dem Federsystem sind Stift kontakte 14a als Näherungsschalter verbunden, die nacheinander mit Kontakten 14, 15 in Berührung kommen und dabei Steuerstromkreise schließen und Signale zum Controller (Rechner) senden. Beim Verschieben der Platte 11 relativ zum Kontaktträger 16 wird zunächst hauptsächlich die weichere Feder 12 komprimiert, so daß nacheinander die Kontakte 14 durch den unteren Stiftkontakt 14a be rührt werden. Wenn die Preßkraft auf die Platte 11 weiter zunimmt, erfolgt Kontaktgabe des oberen Stiftkontaktes oder Näherungsschalter 14a mit den Kon takten 15. Durch das Ausfahren der teleskopischen Tragstange 6 wird auch der Greifer 7 nach unten gefahren und damit die Menge des von den Greifzähnen 17 beim Schließen in die gestrichelt dargestellte Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 von der Tiefe abhängig um welche die Platte 11 in den Futterhaufen hinein gedrückt wurde. Diese Eindringtiefe bestimmt aber wiederum die auf das Federsystem 12, 13 ausgeübte Kraft, so daß jedem der Kontakte 14, 15 eine bestimmte Futtermenge zugeteilt ist. Dabei sind die Verhältnisse so gewählt, daß den drei unteren Kontakten 14 drei Mengen von Trockenfutter und den oberen entsprechend von Grün futter zugeordnet sind, entsprechend der wesentlich kleineren Kompressibilität des letzteren. Die ganze Anlage wird von einem Computer gesteuert. Die frei programmierbare Software wird so beaufschlagt, daß automatisch die Futterstellen abgefahren werden und jeder Futterstelle eine bestimmte individuelle Futtermenge zugeteilt wird, was wie bereits oben angedeutet, durch Aktivieren eines der Kontakte 14, 15 programmgateuert erfolgt. Beim Erreichen des betreffenden Kon taktes werden die Greiferzähne 17 geschlossen, die ganze Greifvorrichtung längs der Schienen 3, 4 an die vorgeschriebene Futterstelle 2 geführt, dort wird der Greifer 7 mit Hilfe des Hydraulikzylinders 9 um die Achse 8 um 90° geschwenkt (gestrichelte Lage in Fig. 2) und durch Öffnen der Greiferzähne 17 das Futter abgegeben. Um beide Stallseiten bedienen zu können, kann die Tragstange 6 um 180° geschwenkt werden. Diese ganzen Vorgänge werden durch das in der Software gespeicherte Programm zum Ablaufen gebracht, was bedeutet, daß der ganze Fütte rungsvorgang praktisch ohne Einsatz menschlicher Arbeitskraft abläuft.This 90 ° swivel takes place with the aid of the hydraulically driven cylinder and joint rods 9 . The sensing device 10 according to Fig. 3 and 4 permits the dosing of the gripping device 7 to be detected amount of food as desired. This dosage will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. As soon as the Greifvor device 7 has moved over the heap of fodder, the support rod 6 and thus the feeler 10 is pressed down onto the heap. It is in dependence on the force exerted on the pile and which acts on the plate 11, the spring system 12, 13 compressed. With the spring system, pin contacts 14 a are connected as proximity switches, which come into contact with contacts 14, 15 one after the other and thereby close control circuits and send signals to the controller (computer). When moving the plate 11 relative to the contact carrier 16 , the softer spring 12 is initially primarily compressed, so that the contacts 14 are successively touched by the lower pin contact 14 a. If the pressing force on the plate 11 continues to increase, contact is made with the upper pin contact or proximity switch 14 a with the contacts 15 . By extending the telescopic support rod 6 , the gripper 7 is also moved down and thus the amount of the gripping teeth 17 when closing in the position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 3 depends on the depth by which the plate 11 was pressed into the feed pile . This depth of penetration in turn determines the force exerted on the spring system 12, 13 , so that each of the contacts 14, 15 is allocated a certain amount of feed. The ratios are chosen so that the three lower contacts 14 are assigned three amounts of dry food and the upper corresponding green feed, corresponding to the much smaller compressibility of the latter. The entire system is controlled by a computer. The freely programmable software is acted on in such a way that the feeding stations are automatically driven and a certain individual feed quantity is allocated to each feeding station, which, as already indicated above, is carried out by activating one of the contacts 14, 15 under program control. When the relevant contact is reached, the gripper teeth 17 are closed, the entire gripping device is guided along the rails 3, 4 to the prescribed feeding point 2 , where the gripper 7 is pivoted about the axis 8 by 90 ° by means of the hydraulic cylinder 9 (broken position in Fig. 2) and released the chuck by opening the gripper teeth 17 . In order to be able to operate both sides of the barn, the support rod 6 can be pivoted through 180 °. All of these processes are run by the program stored in the software, which means that the whole feeding process is practically done without human labor.
