JP6659076B2 - A feeder for livestock that opens and closes the receiving plate hole 9 with the feed rod 1 and cuts and drops an appropriate amount of feed by the impact of opening and closing - Google Patents

Description

  According to the present invention, the feeding rod 1 penetrating through the receiving plate hole 9 facing the feeder lower end portion 4 swings back and forth by the livestock's own feeding behavior to open and close the receiving plate hole 9, and at that time the feeding rod 1 is closed by the receiving plate wall. The feed rod 1 stays near the receiving plate wall 8 after operation, and the feed bar 1 stays near the receiving plate wall 8 and the opening area of the receiving plate hole 9 is reduced and expanded by restricting the feed rod 1 back and forth. It is related to the ability to change the amount of feed falling.

  When the feed falls naturally from a hole of a certain size, it starts falling and stops falling in a short time. This is because the granular feed proceeds at the same time toward the hole and is bridged by friction. In order to eliminate the occurrence of bridges, it is sufficient to increase the opening area of the holes, but this is not practical because the amount of feed falling becomes large.

  In order to cope with a suddenly occurring bridge, there is a drawback in that the bridge is manually struck with a stick or the like.

  As a remedy, it is known that an appropriate impact is effective on the feed container, and an excessive impact has an adverse effect. Therefore, it is convenient if an appropriate impact can be produced by habitual feeding behavior of moving the nostrils back and forth when feeding livestock and a proper amount of feed can be dropped.

Mechanically and electrically applying an impact to the container increases the cost and causes an excessive impact, promotes clogging of the bait and causes a failure.

  The problem to be solved is that, by eliminating the bridge generated in the feed container 7, a proper fall of the feed is performed by the livestock's own feeding behavior other than mechanical and electrical, thereby eliminating the clogging of the water-soaked food and reducing the livestock's feeding. Complete the desired smooth feed and trouble free livestock feeder.

  According to the present invention, the feeding rod 1 is moved back and forth by the feeding behavior of the livestock to open and close the receiving plate hole 9, and at the time of opening and closing, the feeding rod 1 hits the receiving plate wall 8 of the receiving plate 3 and the adjusting bolt 2 and the impact is applied to the feed container. 7 to break the bridged feed. In the receiving plate hole 9 where the feed of the receiving plate 3 falls, the forward and backward movement of the feed bar 1 is regulated to change the opening area of the receiving plate hole 9 where the feed falls and adjust the amount of the feed falling.

  The feeder for livestock having the bait stick 1 and the receiving plate 3 of the present invention can smoothly feed by feeding the bridged feed without any difficulty in the feeding behavior of the livestock with an appropriate impact, cutting and dropping an appropriate amount. The opening and closing of the receiving plate hole 9 through which the feed passes and drops only requires the feeding bar 1 to move forward and backward, and no special parts are required, no mechanical or electrical equipment is required, and there is no wear point of the parts and a simple structure. It is durable and cheap to manufacture.

FIG. 1 is a sectional explanatory view in which a receiving plate hole is closed by a feeding rod. (Example 1) FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the lower end portion of the feed container of FIG. 1 as viewed from above, with the receiving plate hole closed with a feeding rod. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional explanatory view in which the feed bar is pushed by the nostrils of the livestock, the receiving plate hole is opened, and the feed falls. (Example 2) FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the lower end portion of the feed container of FIG.

  The animal's feeding behavior caused a slight impact to eliminate food clogging, and at the same time cut out an appropriate amount of feed.There was no wear at this cutout part, so there was no abrasion, and a product with no stress on livestock feeding behavior was realized. .

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the present invention, in which a feed container 7 is suspended and suspended at an angle, and the feed rod 1 stays on the receiving plate wall 8 side and the receiving plate hole 9 is closed by gravity distribution. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the receiving plate 3 of FIG. 1 as viewed from above, and shows that the hole 9 of the receiving plate is closed by the feeding rod 1.

The embodiment of FIG. 3 shows that the feed bar 1 is pushed forward by the nostrils of the livestock, the receiving plate hole 9 is opened, the feed bar 1 hits the adjustment bolt 2 and the feed that has been bridged by impact is crushed and dropped. Show. FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the opening of the receiving plate hole 9 when the receiving plate 3 of FIG. 3 is viewed from above.
When the livestock starts to eat the feed, the nostrils are separated from the feed bar 1, so that the feed bar 1 is located on the receiving plate wall 8 in FIG. 1, the receiving plate hole 9 is closed, and the fall of the feed stops. As shown in FIG. 3, when the feeding rod 1 is kept pressed and the receiving plate hole 9 is kept open, the fall of the feed stops automatically due to the occurrence of a bridge after falling by an appropriate amount, but the fall and stop are repeated with slight vibration.

  The natural behavior of eating food without stressing the livestock's diet behavior.Also, the feed in the feed container 7 that is always bridged and clogged is cut down by an appropriate amount and dropped, which has a positive effect on the growth of livestock and saves labor and durability It can be applied to pet products such as dogs as well as finished livestock.

Claims (2)

The lower end 4 of the feed container which is suspended and inclined is open, the feed bar 1 is connected and fixed in the vertical direction, and the food is dropped on the receiving plate 3 which is suspended in a hollow and close to the lower end 4 of the feed container. The feeder rod 1 is provided in the vicinity of the bottom surface 6 where the feeder rod 1 penetrates the feeder plate 3 , cuts an appropriate amount of the feed in the feed container 7, drops and holds the feeder rod 1. The feed container lower end 4 and the feed container 7, which are connected and fixed when the feed bar 1 is moved back and forth by the feeding behavior of the livestock, also move back and forth, and when the feed bar 1 is on the front side, the feed container lower end 4 and the receiver are connected. The opening area where the plate hole 9 overlaps is closed by the bait bar 1 and when the bait bar 1 moves rearward, the overlap between the feed container lower end 4 and the receiving plate hole 9 increases and the feed falls.
