Description

The present invention relates to agriculture, in particular to devices for the mechanization of animal husbandry, and can be used for growing calves.

A known installation for feeding calves [RU 2050125 C1, 6 A01K 9/00, 12/20/1995], consisting of containers for liquid feed, and containers for disinfectant solution, made with the possibility of dispensing feed and equipped with a device for washing the nipple.

A known installation for stationary feeding of calves [RU 2074612 C1, 6 A01K 9/00, 10.03.1997], consisting of containers for liquid feed, a pipeline with nozzles and teat drinkers, with a device for maintaining a constant temperature.

Also known is a milking unit with a device for feeding calves [RU 2132126 C1, 6 A01J 5/00, 6 A01K 9/00, 06/27/1999], consisting of a milking machine, containers with a pacifier and a dispenser, with a washing device.

Known drink automatic machine (Germany) [Bulavin S.A. Systems and equipment for growing calves: a training manual / S.A. Bulavin. - Belgorod: Belgorod Agricultural Institute, 1991. - 197 p.], Consisting of a metering drum, heater and recognizer.

These installations are not effective enough during operation.

The objective of the invention is to reduce energy intensity, increase efficiency with normalized feeding of calves. This is achieved by the fact that the proposed machine for feeding calves consists of a housing (1) of Figure 1, it is equipped with feeding nipples (2) of Figure 2, containers of feeding cups (3) of Figure 1 and Figure 2. The calf feeding machine contains a dispenser of a dry substitute for whole milk (milk replacer) (4), a water heater (5), a mixer (6), a temperature sensor for liquid milk replacer (7), heating elements (8), an automatic switch on the heating elements (9), a device actuator (U) control, transpoder (11), actuator (12), emulsifier (13), valves (14), pump for supplying finished liquid feed and disinfectant solution (15), rubber trap (16), connecting hose ( 17), water tap (18), metering auger (19).

There is the most effective calf maintenance in group cells with four heads in each.

The invention will be clear from the following description and the attached drawings.

The calf feeding machine consists of a housing (1) of FIG. 1, inside of which nipples (2) and the capacity of the feeding bowl (3) are fixed. In the housing (1), a dry WMS dispenser (4), a water heater (5) and a mixer (6) are installed. Also, in the housing (1), a temperature sensor for liquid WMS (7) is installed. In the capacity of the drinking bowl (3) there are installed heating elements (8), an automatic switch on the heating elements (9), an actuator control device (10), an actuator (12) and valves (14). An emulsifier (13) is installed in the mixer (6). A pump (15) and a water supply tap (18) are installed in the housing (1). On flexible hoses (17) fixed in the housing (1), rubber catchers (16) and a water supply tap (18) are installed. A transpoder is attached to the calf’s collar (11). A dry auger has a dosing screw (19).

The calf feeding machine is designed to serve four calves, with each nipple attached to one calf.

The calf feeding machine works as follows: from a dry milk replacer dispenser (4) of Fig. 2, using a screw (19), the powder is dosed into the mixer (6), the water heater (5) is heated to a temperature of 35 ° C and fed through a tap (18) to the mixer (6) in a ratio of 1/10. The emulsifier (13) mixes the water with the dry powder, the resulting mixture is directed by the pump (15) into the containers of the drinking bowls (3) of Figure 1 and Figure 2, where the filling rate is controlled by the valve (14). Individual feeding bowls (3) are attached to each of the four calves, and the transponder (11) recognizes the bowls attached to each calf (3). A calf with a transpoder (11) hung on its neck approaches a calf-feeding machine and takes the nipple (2) into the oral cavity. The signal from the transponder (11) is fed to the actuator control device (10) and the actuator (12) opens the milk access to the nipple (2). The calf is sucking milk. At the end of the drink, the transponder (11) sends a signal to the actuator control device (10), which sends a signal to the actuator (12), which blocks the access of milk to the nipple (2). For each drinking bowl (3), only an individual calf is fixed, therefore, for another calf that fits, the actuator (12) will not open access to milk. At the end of milk production from tanks (3), disinfect and rinse the calf feeding machine.

Disinfection of the machine is carried out as follows: before washing, a catcher (16) is put on the nipple body (2), and a connecting hose (17) is connected to the mixer (6). The disinfectant powder is poured into the mixer (6), warm water is supplied from the water heater (5) to the mixer (6), and the disinfectant is prepared with an emulsifier (13). The prepared disinfectant solution is pumped (15) through valves (14) into the drinking bowls (3). Through the actuator (12), which directs the disinfectant solution into the nipple cavity (2), then the disinfectant solution enters the trap (16), then through the hose (17) to the mixer (6). The washing process with a disinfectant solution is carried out for 10 minutes. After washing with a disinfecting solution, the unit is washed with warm water for 10 minutes, then cold for 5 minutes. The disinfectant solution is poured through the hose (17) into the manure removal system.
