Description

The utility model relates to devices for mechanization of labor-intensive processes in animal husbandry, in particular, to a feeder for feeding coarse fodder and can be used in agriculture, both on large and small cattle farms (cattle) of dairy or meat directions for safe feeding animals on walking grounds or pastures.

State of the art

Known feed dispenser - dispenser containing a frame that is installed with the possibility of its reciprocal - translational movement along the rollers of the horizontal roller path along the feeder common to all animals, the frame is made long, guaranteeing its support for at least three rollers, while it is equipped with mounted on the frame one or more dispensers - feeders for portioned distribution of feed to individual animals and / or individual groups of animals in their feeding areas, and feeding areas are delimited by rollers.

The feed dispenser - the dispenser is equipped with elements for differentiating animal stalls, and the rollers on the feeder are installed in common planes with these elements.

The feed dispenser-dispenser is equipped with elements for delimiting the sections of the feeder along its bottom, and the rollers are mounted on the feeder above these elements (see Pat. RU No. 2170008, IPC A01K 5/02, A01K 5/00, publ. July 10, 2001).

The disadvantage of this feed dispenser - dispenser is the design complexity, limited functionality, namely only stationary use.

Known self-feeder containing feeders fixed in the feeding zone of animals on its frame, including racks and cross members, while the self-feeder is made in the form of a self-folding hangar, the posts and cross members of which form arches, interconnected by a mechanism for even distribution along the longitudinal axis of the hangar, with the roof cross members connected to the racks pivotally, the feeders are made in the form of perforated tensile tubes and are mounted on the said racks and crossbars (see US Pat. No. 2417583, IPC АКК 5/00, published on 05/10/2011 )

The disadvantage of this feeder is the lack of a dosed feeding mechanism for animals, the low reliability of the design.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved positive effect and adopted by the authors for the prototype is a feeder for feeding roughage, containing a hopper, the side walls of which are made in the form of racks mounted on the frame, connected by horizontal rods, on which vertical rods are mounted to move along them, while the horizontal rods are equipped with clamps for vertical rods and installed with the possibility of movement in a vertical plane (see US Pat. RU No. 17777739, IPC A01K 5 / 00, published on November 30, 1992).

The disadvantage of this feeder is the unsafe feeding of roughage to animals due to the possibility of feeding accidental ingress of metal objects, for example, the remains of a metal cable or hardware into the hay roll when it is harvested, which can be harmful to animal health, including death.

Utility Model Disclosure

The objective of the proposed utility model is the development of a feeder for the safe feeding of roughage, which provides safe feeding of roughage due to its additional supply with inductive sensor sensors with the possibility of detecting random metal objects, as well as reducing labor costs when servicing animals.

The technical result that can be obtained using the proposed utility model is to ensure safe feeding of roughage and reduce labor costs when servicing animals.

The technical result is achieved using a feeder for safe feeding of roughage containing a hopper, the side surfaces of which are made in the form of rods, while the hopper is made in the form of a cube, the rods of the side surfaces of which are set at an angle of 45 °, and the lower part of the hopper is made in the form of a solid whole stripes with a height of 40-50 cm, while on each side vertical edge of the hopper there is additionally installed one inductive sensor sensor with the ability to respond to the appearance of metal objects moreover, in one of the lower corners of the hopper there is a compartment with a hatch in which the controller is located with the possibility of receiving a signal from the sensor and a power source.

Modern industrial livestock breeding is characterized by the use of highly productive and expensive animals, therefore, it is necessary to prevent metal objects, for example, metal wire residues or metal products, which might accidentally get into the hay roll when harvesting, and thus harm animal health when feeding animals. to death. Thus, additional supply of the feeder hopper on each side vertical rib has one inductive sensor to react to the appearance of metal objects, and in one of the lower corners of the hopper there is a compartment with a hatch in which the controller is located with the possibility of receiving a signal from the sensor and an electric power source to transmit the accumulated signals from the sensors to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which then, upon returning to the base, transmits data to the operator ormushki for animals that allows to solve the technical result.

Utility Model Implementation

The feeder for safe feeding of roughage consists of a hopper 1, made in the form of a cube (see Fig. 1, 2, 3), the side surfaces of which are made of rods 2 installed at an angle, for example, 45 °, while the lower part of the hopper 1 the feeders are made in the form of a continuous solid strip 3, 40-50 cm high, and on each side vertical rib (not shown in FIG.), the hoppers 1 of the feeder are equipped with one inductive sensor 4, for example, ISNIC15P5-01G-R100E-LS27 (see . company NPK Teko JSC), with the ability to respond to the appearance of metal objects in the zone of their operation, while in one of the lower corners of the hopper 1 of the feeder there is a special compartment 5 in which the controller 6 is located - an electronic control device with software and a power supply 7, while the sensor 4, when a metal object is detected, transmits an analog an output signal to a controller 6, which then transmits a signal to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (in FIG. not shown) when it flies over the feeder, and compartment 5 is equipped with a hatch 8 in which a controller 6 and a power supply 7 are installed with the possibility of failure, and a roll of hay 9 is loaded into the hopper 1.

The feeder for safe feeding of roughage is operated as follows.

Coarse feed, a roll of hay 9, which is placed along the entire hopper 1 and usually occupies the entire volume of the hopper 1 of the feeder according to the height of the roll of hay 9, is loaded into the hopper 1 of the feeder; animals eat hay through the feed intermediate sectors between the rods 2, set at an angle with four sides on the side surfaces, while in the lower part of the hopper 1 of the feeder, made in the form of a continuous solid strip 3, a height of 40-50 cm, remains of hay from the roll 9, which are then collected for animals. When a random metal object (in FIG. Not shown) gets into the range of sensors 4, the operation of which is based on a change in the oscillation amplitude of the generator (not shown in FIG.) When metal objects get into the active zone of sensor 4, an electric signal is transmitted to controller 6 , which receives power from a power source 7, installed in a special compartment 5 with a hatch 8 with the possibility of eliminating breakdowns, and accumulates statistics of the applied signals, allowing to assess the state of Uncker 1 of the feeder and when establishing radio communication with the UAV, formed when an unmanned aerial vehicle passes over the feeder through a special command-telemetric radio line in the frequency range 902-922 MHz, it transfers the accumulated information to the UAV, after which it is returned to the base, information is transmitted to the care operator after animals, which allows him to take the actions necessary to prevent the ingress of a metal object into the body of the animal. Thus, in the presence or absence of warning signals, the operator constantly receives information about the state of the safety level when feeding roughage, which also reduces labor costs when servicing animals.

The proposed utility model in comparison with the prototype and other well-known technical solutions has the following advantages:

- ensuring the safe feeding of roughage to animals, due to the additional supply of the hopper of the feeder with inductive sensor sensors with the possibility of detecting random metal objects;

- the exception of the death of animals due to the ingestion of metal objects with food;

- reduction of labor costs when servicing animals.
