Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to agriculture and is intended for storage and distribution of animal feed.

State of the art

Known self-feeder for feeding hay, including a fence (see patent for invention RU No. 2231255 C2, Stack-self-feeding). A disadvantage of the known self-feeders is the inability to transport it.

Known self-feeder for feeding hay, including racks and a fence made with the possibility of placing feed in it (see patent for invention RU No. 2125790 C1, Feeder for sheep). A disadvantage of the known self-feeders is the structural complexity that impedes its manufacture and transportation to a new place.

Known self-feeder for feeding roll hay, including racks and trellised container, made with the possibility of placing a roll in it (see. Certificate for utility model RU No. 34311 U1, Self-feeding). The disadvantages of the known self-feeder is its low efficiency, due to the limited access of animals to food, and the difficulty of transportation to a new place.

Disclosure of invention

A self-feeder for feeding roll hay consists of racks and a trellised container, configured to accommodate a roll of hay, and the racks are made with height adjustment and with the possibility of supporting the crossbars on them, and the bulk container enclosure is rigid in the longitudinal direction by regular placement around the perimeter roll of rigid longitudinal rods, such as wooden beams, and flexible in the radial direction of the roll by fixing the longitudinal rods to flexible ties, ennym example from the conveyor belts, and suspended from a horizontal bar, the ends of said enclosure are provided with a grid attached to longitudinal rods.

The idea of a self-feeder is that a roll of hay is placed in a trellised container and suspended on a crossbar mounted on racks of the required height with the possibility of animal access to hay. In this case, as the hay is eaten and under the influence of gravity, the roll cross section due to the mechanical properties of the fence (flexible transverse and rigid longitudinal elements) changes its shape, passing from the initial round cross-sectional shape to drop-like, dropping down and keeping the original for animals the ability to access the feed not only frontally, but also at the ends of the roll.

Self-feeder can be used regardless of the size of the formed diameter of the roll of hay. The number of self-feeder elements is minimal, it is easy to manufacture, easy to disassemble, move and install in a new place.

Brief Description of the Drawings

In FIG. 1 shows a front view of a self-feeder.

In FIG. 2 shows a side view of a self-feeder.

In FIG. 3 shows a change in the shape of a self-feeding trough during feeding.

In FIG. 4 depicts the process of "dressing" the container on a roll.

In FIG. 5 shows a container with a crossbar ready for installation.

The implementation of the invention

The self-feeder for feeding roll hay (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) consists of two telescopic racks 1, mounted at the required height, rigidly connected below with cross-shaped metal supports 2, fixed, if necessary, with anchors 3 to the surface 4, and at the top with lodges 5, on which a crossbeam is laid, for example, a steel pipe 6, to which a trellised container 7 is suspended (with a roll 8 placed in it), where in the longitudinal direction the volumetric enclosure of the container is rigid from regularly placed in the longitudinal direction the direction of the wooden beams 9, and in the transverse - flexible, made, for example, of conveyor belts 10 connected to the beams with glue, nails or screws (the connection is not shown), while the ends are equipped with a grid fixed to the beams, for example, screws with washers (not shown).

The placement of the roll of hay 8 and the organization of trellised container 7 is carried out by "wrapping" the roll on both sides. First, flexible tapes 10 are spread with rigid bars 9 fixed on them. Hay roll 8 is rolled and one, for example, left part is wrapped on it (Fig. 4) approximately to the middle of the roll and temporarily fixed on the roll, for example, with pins (not shown). Then the second part is measured and rolled up, possibly with an overlap. Both parts are pulled together by connecting two adjacent wooden beams 9, for example, twists 11. Then, in a similar way, the crossbar 6 (Fig. 5) and the whole structure are attached to the top of the trellised container manually or using a lifting mechanism, for example, a loader , the crossbar 6 rises with the container 7 and is installed on the lodgements 5.

In the process of eating feed, the weight of the roll decreases and its shape changes (Fig. 3), while maintaining access to the feed not only frontally, but also along the ends of the container as a result of the weakening of the mesh tension.

The number of elements of the self-feeder is minimal, it is easily disassembled, moved and simply installed in a new place.

Claims (1)

A self-feeder for feeding roll hay, including racks and a trellised container, configured to place a roll in it, characterized in that the racks are made with the possibility of height adjustment and with the possibility of supporting the rails on them, and the trellised container is made rigid in the longitudinal direction by regularly placing rigid longitudinal rods, for example wooden beams, and flexible in the transverse direction by fixing the longitudinal rods to flexible ties made, for example, from transport polar strips and suspended from the bar, wherein the ends of the container are provided with grid fixed to longitudinal rods.
