Description

This invention relates to the field of agriculture.

A device for feeding animals is known, comprising a tank mounted on a mobile platform on which nipple sleeves are fixed, communicating via hoses with a tank G11.

The closest to the technical essence of the invention is a device that includes a mechanism for moving the nipple, having a lever mounted to rotate around an axis, on one of the arms of which is placed the nipple. Said arm F Ichaga is connected with an electromagnet by means of a tie, and the other is connected via a hinge to a piston rod having a spring and mounted for longitudinal movement in a cylinder cavity having a throttle bore and control unit 2.

However, such devices do not allow accurate feed delivery.

The purpose of the invention is to improve the accuracy of feed distribution.

The goal is achieved by the fact that the proposed device is equipped with an availability of an animal sensor, which

through the control unit, the teat moving mechanism is connected with the electromagnet. -The sensor of the animal is made in the form of a lever, equipped with a return spring and installed with the possibility of rotation around the axis. One of the arms of the lever interacts with the platform, and the other with the limit switch.

The device includes a mechanism for moving the nipple, having a double-arm lever 1 mounted rotatably around axis 2, on one of whose arms is placed the nipple 3, the specified lever lever is connected by means of a hook 4 to electromagnet 5, and the other by means of a hinge 6 is connected to the rod 7, the axis 8, the piston 9, having a spring 10 and installed with the possibility of longitudinal movement in the cavity of the cylinder 11, having an orifice 12 and the control unit 13. The sensor 14 of the animal through the control unit 13 is connected

30 electromagnet 5.

The sensor 14 is made in the form of a lever 15, equipped with a return spring 16 and installed with the possibility of rotation around the axis 17, One arm of the lever 15 communicates with the platform 18, and the other - with the limit switch 19.

The control unit 13 includes a time relay 20 with a closing contact 21 of a time relay 22 with a breaking contact 23, an intermediate relay 24 with closing contacts 25 and 26, an indicator 27 and a switch 28. The limit switch 19 has a closing 29 and a breaking 30 contacts.

The nipple 3 is connected to the feed hose 31.

The device works as follows.

Limit switch 19 is interlocked in time with electromagnet 5 by means of control unit 13.

After powering on, the switch 28 illuminates the indicator 27, indicating that the device is ready for operation.

In the feeding zone, the animal enters the platform 18 placed on one of the arms of the lever 15. The latter rotates around the axis 17 and interacts with the switch 19, which closes its contact 29, including the same time delay 20, which measures the feeding time of the animal nipples 3.

After a predetermined time has elapsed, contact 21 of time relay 20 closes, which turns on electromagnet 5 and intermediate relay 24. Electromagnet 5 rotates lever 1, pulling pacifier 3 out of the feeding zone and thereby terminating feeding the animal. When this is installed on the second arm of the lever 1 by means of the hinge 6, the rod 7 with the piston 9 moves in the cylinder 11, compressing the spring 10. The air from the cylinder 11 through the throttle hole 12 goes into the atmosphere, which ensures smooth movement of the lever 1 with the teat 3. Relay 24 when turned on closes contacts 25 and 26.

After the animal leaves the feeding zone, the lever 15 by the spring 16 returns to its original position, the output from the interaction with the switch | Lem 19. As a result, the contact 29 opens, turns off the time relay 20, and the contact 30 closes, turning on the time relay 22 through the closed contact 25.

After the time required for the animal to leave the feeding zone, the contact 23, which turns off the relay 24, opens. At the same time, contacts 5 and 26 open. Pin 26 turns off the electromagnet 5, and pin 25 turns off the time relay 22.

When you turn off the electromagnet 5 spring 10 moves the piston 9 with the rod 7 to the left. The rod 7 by means of the hinge 6 returns the lever 1 to its original position.

When the next animal enters the feeding area, the process repeats similarly.

Thus, the accuracy of delivery of the feed by the proposed device is improved.

Claims (2)

1. A device for feeding animals, including a nipple movement mechanism, having a double-shouldered lever mounted rotatably around an axis, on one of the arms of which is placed a nipple, wherein said lever lever is connected with an electromagnet through a pull, and the other lever arm the hinge is connected to a piston rod having a spring and installed with the possibility of longitudinal movement in the cylinder cavity, and a throttle bore and control unit, characterized in that, in order to increase the accuracy of It is equipped with a sensor for the presence of an animal, and the sensor for the animal through the control unit is connected with the electromagnet of the nipple movement mechanism. - 2. The device according to claim 1, differs by the fact that the animal presence sensor is made in the form of a lever equipped with a return spring and can be rotated around the axis, one of the arms of the lever interacting with the platform, and the other with limit switch.
