The invention is described in a preferred embodiment; however, this implementation is only one Explanatory example and does not imply any limitation.

Fig. 1 shows an automatic feed weighing and distribution system 10 according to the invention, which contains a large storage tank 11 for storing poured amounts of dry feed which is made and mixed from the correct components, ao which correspond to the respective animals to be fed. The feed coming from the store 11 is distributed by means of a conveyor 12 which extends over several feeding points S. The feeding points S can be separated by partition walls or grids located inside the building or by grids located outside the building. At each feeding point there is an animal or there are several animals. The amount of feed dispensed at each feeding point depends on the number of animals to be fed.

The conveyor 12 located in the conveyor housing is driven by a motor 13 which has a automatically working timer 14 is switched on intermittently, so that the conveyor 12 to predetermined Times works. Switching on the conveyor 12 when there is insufficient feed supply in the Storage 11 is prevented by a safety switch 15 which is arranged near the bottom of storage 11 and in series with the motor in the circuit. If the amount of the existing in the memory 11 If feed falls below the level of switch 15, the switch opens the motor circuit and the conveyor 12 remains stationary until additional feed has been filled into the store 11 is.

Near each feeding point S a weighing device 16 is set up so that it weighs and receives a prescribed amount of feed. During the distribution of the feed from the feed conveyor 12, all successive weighing devices 16 are automatically closed or locked as soon as the prescribed amount of feed has been received by the weighing device 16. After the last weighing device 16 is locked, the dispensing cycle is complete and the timer opens automatically to shut off the motor circuit at the end of that cycle.

In the illustrated embodiment, the conveyor housing of the conveyor 12 also carries a trigger device 17, which is used to trigger and empty all weighing devices 16 and at the same time all Weighing devices 16 return to the operating state required at the beginning of a work cycle bring. The triggering device 17 is in the example shown at a distance from the memory 11 and the last weighing device 16 arranged away in the direction of movement of the conveyor. A drive rope 18 connects the triggering device 17 to all weighing devices 16. That after setting the Weighing devices 16 in the standby position taking place back of the triggering device 17 their rest position is brought about by means of a weight 19 attached to the free end of the drive cable 18.

The conveyor 12 (Figs. 12-15) has a housing

31 of U-shaped or channel-shaped cross-section, in which an endless pull or drag chain

32 is arranged, which consists of numerous chain links

33 exists. The housing 31 is preferably made of sheet metal and forms a strong and resistant Carrier for supporting the weighing devices 16 and the trip device 17. The housing 31 has on its upper side an uninterrupted opening 34, the one at each point of the system convenient testing of the chain 32 allows.

The conveyor 12 is guided through the lower part of the store 11. At this point the Chain 32 on the feed from the store 11, which are delivered to the weighing devices 16 target. The amount of feed flowing out of the store 11 is preferably regulated so that can move the feed in the housing 31 without disturbance. For dispensing the feed from the Conveyor 12 into the weighing devices 16, the housing 31 on each weighing device 16 has an opening 35 on. After the feed has been delivered to all of the weighing devices, the Chain 32 in conveyor 12 is returned to storage 11. The chain 32 is driven by the electric motor 13 via a reduction gear 36 and a drive cable, e.g. B. a drive sprocket 37.

All of the weighing devices 16 (Figs. 2 to 6) are of the same design. In the preferred embodiment the weighing devices 16 are on the housing 31 of the conveyor 12 by means of a U-shaped frame 41, which is located above the housing 31, attached. Below the frame 41 is a measuring tube 42, which is supported by two parallel rods 43 directed downwards. The measuring tube 42 is arranged so that it receives the feed dispensed from the conveyor 12 via the opening 35. The Feed is held in the measuring tube 42 by a bottom seal, which in the example shown two bottom flaps 44, which are hinged to the bottom of the measuring tube 42 and with the lower Ends of the rods 43 are connected. To interrupt the feed supply to the measuring tube 42 is on Frame 41 a flap 46 optionally closing the opening 35 (FIG. 5) by means of a transverse pin 47 hinged.

According to the invention, there is a scale 50 which precisely weighs a certain amount of feed, which has been discharged from the conveyor 12 onto the weighing device 16. This Libra 50 speaks automatically when the feed poured into the measuring tube 42 has a predetermined weight has reached. The response of the balance 50 also leads to the closure of the flap 46 and interrupts consequently the supply of feed through the opening 35 into the weighing device 16.

The scale 50 has a scale bar 51 which is provided with a scale and which is attached to an end console 52 is attached, the pivot 53 in an on

Claims (1)

Patent claims: 1. Feed weighing and allocation device for animals with a feed storage container and a Conveyor housing, which is an endless pull chain for delivering the stored feed to a Contains a series of forage tubes, each mounted under an opening in the conveyor housing and includes a weighing device to block the opening if a preselected one Feed weight is given to the feed measuring tube, characterized by a release device (17) with a sliding frame (110) which is slidably attached to the conveyor housing (31) and a pivoted one Carries hook (113) which can be brought into engagement with the pull chain (32), as well as one Pull rope (18) connecting the sliding frame (110) and each of the weighing devices (50) to one another, to return the weighing devices to their original positions and the openings (35) of the conveyor housing (31) to release when the preselected feed weight is out of the Measuring tubes (42) is delivered. 2. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized by one attached to the conveyor housing (31) Cross pin (114) to the hook (113) det to the flap when the balance beam is raised to open in the higher position. 6. Apparatus according to claim 5, characterized in that the stop lever (60) in its locked in the rear position against the influence of the spring (62) and the flap (44) is open when the balance beam (51), in response to the measuring tube (42), which is a preselected Receives feed weight from the conveyor (12), raises. -7. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the weighing device (50) includes a balance beam (51) pivotally mounted by a pin (53) which is mounted for the limited rolling movement in a bracket (54) on the conveyor housing (31), so that the sliding friction is reduced when the balance beam (51) begins to rise.
