SU1482625A1 - Apparatus for monitoring feeding activity of poultry - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention relates to agriculture. The purpose of the invention is to improve the accuracy of control of food activity, accelerate the production of food reflex and reduce the placer of food. A device for monitoring the poultry nutritional activity comprises a feeder in the housing 1, in which is placed an insert made of telescopically interconnected elements 2,3. The element 3 has a bottom 4 and rests on the springs 5. In the upper part of the housing 1 there are stops 6, which interact with the element 2 of the liner. Above the surface of the housing 1, food activity sensors, made in the form of hollow cheeks 7, are placed from transparent material mounted on levers 8 having contacts 10. When the device is in operation, the bird spreads its cheeks 7 and levers 8. The contacts 10 close and the signal goes to the counter. As the feed is consumed, the liner element 3 moves upward through the springs 5, maintaining the line of the feed in the feeder at the same level. 2 hp ff, 3 ill.

Description

Fig 1

This invention relates to agriculture. The purpose of the invention is to improve the accuracy of control of food activity, accelerate the production of food reflex and reduce the placer feed.

FIG. 1 shows a device for controlling the nutritional activity of poultry, a general view; in fig. 2, 3 - telescopic elements of the liner.

The device for controlling the poultry's food activity contains a feeder, in the case 1 of which a liner is installed, made of telescopically interconnected elements 2, 3. In this case, the lower element 3 of the liner has a bottom 4, which is mounted on supports made in the form of springs 5. The upper part of the trough housing 1 has stops 6, which interact with the trimming of the upper element 2 of the liner. Above the surface of the trough housing 1 are sensors of food activity, made in the form of two hollow cheeks 7 of oval-cylindrical shape, which are fixed on levers 8 mounted on axles 9 and can be rotated in a vertical plane. The levers 8 have electrical contacts 10 associated with a number of decorative movements.

The device works as follows. Inside the liner 3, the feed is poured, while the liner 2 with its lower edge rests on the surface of the feed, and rests with the upper edge against the stops 6. When feeding birds from the feeder, the bird opens the cheeks 7 attached to the levers 8, and the contacts 10 close and the signal is given on the registering counter. As the feed is consumed, the lower element 3 of the liner moves inside the feeder body 1 upward through the center of the springs 5, thereby maintaining the feed line at the same level.

Claims (3)

1. A device for monitoring poultry nutritional activity, comprising a hollow liner placed in the trough housing mounted on supports with the possibility of vertical movement, a sensor for vertical movement, a food activity sensor, characterized in that, in order to increase the accuracy of control of food activity, accelerate the production of food reflex and reduce placer feed, the liner is designed as a telescopic 20 of the element, the base of which has a bottom mounted on supports, made in the form of springs, and the trough case in the upper part has stops that interact with the upper edge of the liner, while 25, the sensor of food activity is made in the form of two hollow cheeks, oval-cylindrical in shape, fixed on the levers with the ability to move along arcs, common to which is located in the plane of the upper edge of the feeder body. thirty 2. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that the levers of the sensors are provided with electrical contacts. 3. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that the cheeks are made of a transparent material.
