Description

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to poultry farming, to feeding farm birds with outdoor maintenance.

A device is known that relates to industrial poultry farming, namely to limited feeding of breeding birds, including an electric drive with a program-starting unit connected to a rod that regulates feed doses, a horizontal tubular feed line with a transporting body inside the pipe, in which holes are made for pouring feed through vertical spouts rigidly fixed on the feed pipe, under which feeders in the form of a round bowl are installed. In a known device, the feeder has a tray with a conical bulge in the center of the bottom with an angle of at least 46° to the horizontal, fixed with mesh fence brackets to the feed pipe, and the feeder is equipped with a truncated cone-shaped bunker with a lower diameter equal to the conical bulge of the tray with a rigidly fixed in the upper part truncated cone ring, which is made with the possibility of vertical movement under the action of a lever connected to the rod, while the feeder is equipped with a measuring cylinder, which coaxially with a free fit covers the lower end of the pouring pipe, and the upper part is pivotally attached to the movable rocker lever associated with the rod ( see patent RU 190923 U1 IPC A01K 39/012, 2019).

The disadvantage of the known technical solution is the high metal consumption, as well as the impossibility of using high-protein feed when keeping poultry on the floor.

Also known is a device for distributing feed, containing a bunker, a tubular feed duct, a cable-disk working body with a drive and feeders, characterized in that the pipes forming the route of the feed duct are connected to each other by means of sockets and installed with the possibility of rotating each pipe around its longitudinal axis , the feeders are installed directly on the pipes and are associated with the internal cavity of the feed pipe, and the spatial turns of the feed pipe route are made along a circular arc (see US Pat. RU 23726 U1 IPC A01K 39/00, 2001).

The disadvantage of this technical solution is its high metal consumption, bulkiness, and the impossibility of using it for floor keeping of poultry.

Known unmanned self-propelled system for watering agricultural - x. poultry in floor keeping, includes a water tank connected to a supply line consisting of pipes with nipple drinkers, a pipe for supplying water to the water tank, a water level sensor, and also has a box-shaped body mounted on tracked chassis, inside of which a controller, a control unit and indicators of the water level in the tank and the system status connected to it, which are built into the wall of the case, a GPS tracker, a trajectory sensor located under the case, and proximity sensors located along the perimeter of the case on which the water tank is installed, while its lower part communicated with the supply line, made in the form of sections located on four sides of the tank, in each of which the pipe is made of internal and external parts hinged to each other, nipple drinkers are located on the outside, and the end of the inner part of the pipe is hinged to the body, and for transfer of the section from the transport position to the working position and back between the inner and outer parts of the pipe, a hydraulic drive is installed, and the hinge connecting these parts of the pipe is connected by means of a cable to the upper part of the water tank (see Fig. Pat. RU 2768843, IPC A01K 39/024, 2021 - prototype).

The disadvantage is the impossibility of being used for feeding poultry with outdoor content.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency and quality of poultry feeding in floor keeping, reduce the cost of poultry feed and reduce personnel in production, by providing the possibility of intelligent automated feeding of poultry.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that, unmanned self-propelled system for feeding agricultural. poultry for floor keeping, including a double electric motor, a tank, the lower part connected to the supply line, consisting of sections arranged symmetrically on opposite sides of the body and made in the form of pipes, a box-shaped body mounted on the caterpillar chassis, inside which the control unit and indicators connected to it are located state of the system, which are built into the wall of the body, a GPS tracker, a trajectory sensor located under the body, and proximity sensors located around the perimeter of the body on which the tank is installed, according to the invention, it has a floor feeding system for poultry, which is installed at the bottom of the tank and is made in the form of a gearbox with three augers, one of them is installed vertically, for mixing the feed, and the other two are located on both sides of the gearbox symmetrically and horizontally, and at the ends they have unloading hatches connected to sections of the supply line, which are equipped with cone-shaped removable feeders, while to transfer the sections of the supply line from the transport position to the working position and back, they are connected to the upper part of the tank by means of an electric winch unit, the vertical auger mixes the feed while the tank is being filled, the feed is supplied to the tank thanks to the loading funnel, also signal the lamp indicates the state of health, and the surveillance camera shows the environment around the system.

The novelty of the proposed design in comparison with prototypes and other well-known technical solutions is due to the fact that:

1. Provides full automation of the feeding process with high-protein feeds;

2. Reduces labor costs;

3. Reduces the chance of infections in chickens;

4. Reduces the mortality of birds;

5. Reduces cash costs due to feed savings.
