Description

The utility model relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to poultry farming.

Known bird feeder containing a hopper, divided by an inclined plate in it with a window in the lower part into two compartments located one below the other, for storing feed and feeding the bird, and in the lower compartment there is an opening for access of the bird to the feed (Ziper A. F. Breeding of hens of egg breeds. / - M.: Publishing House AST; Donetsk: Stalker, 2002. - 92 pp. - p. 42). The disadvantage of the feeder is uncontrolled access to food, which makes it possible to use food by rodents (rats, mice), which increases its total consumption and makes it possible to transmit pathogens, and when the feeder is installed outdoors, it becomes accessible to wild birds (crows, magpies, pigeons).

Known feeder for chickens containing a hopper mounted on a frame with a platform, divided by an inclined plate in it with a window in the lower part into two compartments located one below the other, for storing feed and feeding the bird, and in the lower compartment there is an opening for the bird to access feed (Lebedenko E.A. Hens: Breeding, maintenance, care. - Rostov-n / D: 2011. - 189 p., pp. 52-55). The disadvantage of the feeder is that the bunker is raised above the floor and there is no access to food for rodents, but access to wild birds remains, which leads to loss of feed, and open access creates the possibility of infection of poultry wild and also leads to a decrease in productivity and death of poultry.

Known feeder for laying hens (patent No. 2554406, IPC A01K 39/01) containing a hopper mounted on a frame with a platform, divided by an inclined plate in it with a window in the lower part into two compartments located one below the other, for storing feed and feeding laying hens, and in the lower compartment there is an opening for access of the bird to the feed, the bird platform is made with the possibility of changing the angle of inclination, is mounted on the shaft passing through the bunker window or under it and contains a cargo counterweight, a shaft equipped with inducers and, wherein the opening for accessing the mixed fodder contains transparent shutter, one of which is rigidly attached to the platform, and the other hinged - to the hopper wall and linkage system connected to the platform.

This feeder is selected as a prototype.

The disadvantages of the feeders are.

1. The angle of inclination of the bottom of the compartment for feeding chickens is small, so when filling the hopper with bulk feed, there is a problem of grain outflow. The angle of friction of the grain on the surface is the smallest angle at which the grain begins to move by gravity along an inclined plane. Fluctuations in the angle of repose for individual crops are shown in table 1.

Table 1 Fluctuations in the angle of repose for individual crops Culture Angle of repose, deg. Culture Angle of repose, deg. Rye 23-38 Peas 24-31 Wheat 23-38 Soybean 25-32 Barley 28-45 Lentils 25-32 Oats 31-54 Vika 28-33 Corn in the grain 30-40 Fodder beans 29-35 Rice grain 27-48 Sunflower 31-45 Millet 20-27 Castor oil 34-46

The angle of repose will be equal to the angle of friction of grain over grain.

2. The shaft passing through the lower inner part of the hopper and provided with feed motive is an obstacle to the expiration of the latter. Drivers of feed expiration cannot perform this operation due to a single movement of the platform, which is either in the initial position (there is no chicken on the platform) or in the working position (chicken on the platform).

The technical result of the utility model is to ensure uninterrupted consumption of bulk feed in the feeder.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the lower wall of the hopper is made at an angle of 45 ° relative to the horizontal, and the shaft is mounted on a support stand mounted on the outside of the bottom of the compartment for feeding chickens.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by the drawing, where in FIG. 1 shows a feeder with closed curtains; FIG. 2 shows a feeder with open curtains when the hens are on the site.

The chicken feeder comprises a hopper 2 mounted on the frame 1, divided by an inclined plate 3 mounted therein with a window 4 in its lower part into two compartments, the upper 5 and lower 6, located one below the other. The top 5 compartment is for storing feed. The lower compartment 6 contains an opening 7 for access of the bird to the feed, in which transparent shutters 8 are placed, one of which is attached to the wall of the hopper 2 above the opening 7 to the feed hopper 9 and the other is rigidly attached to the platform 10. The platform 10 is rigidly fixed on the shaft 11, which is mounted on a support stand 12, mounted on the outside of the bottom of the compartment 13 for feeding chickens. The bottom wall 14 of the hopper is made at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the horizontal. The platform 10 is made with the possibility of changing the angle of inclination, the linkage system 15 is connected to a hinged transparent curtain 8 and is in equilibrium due to the cargo counterweight 16.

The work of the feeder is as follows. In the presence of feed in the upper compartment 5 of the hopper 2, the feed through the window 4 enters the compartment 6, due to the fact that the bottom wall 14 of the hopper is made at an angle of 45 ° to the horizontal, and the shaft 11 is mounted on a support post 12, mounted on the outside of the bottom compartment 13, i.e. the design of the feeder determines the normal flow of loose feed. Kura sees feed through the transparent curtains 8 and, if desired, eat tends to him. At the same time, she is forced to jump to the platform 10, which, under the weight of the laying hen (1.7-1.8 kg), lowers by turning the shaft 11 and raising the load counterweight 16. When lowering the platform 10, one of the tightly bound with the last transparent shutter 8, at the same time the linkage system 14 rotates another transparent shutter 8 on the hinge 9. The opening 7 becomes open for access of laying hens to the compound feed (Fig. 2). When the hen is full, it leaves the platform 10, the cargo counterweight 16 raises the platform 10 to its original position. As a result, one of the shutters 8 rises, and the other rotates and becomes also in the starting position, the opening 7 is closed. Access to rodents is prevented by the fact that the hopper 2 is raised on the frame, and the access of the wild bird is prevented by the fact that the cargo counterweight 16 is set to minimum weight of one chicken (1.7-1.8 kg). A wild bird arriving to feed on a farmstead has a significantly lower body weight, which is in the range from 0.037 kg (sparrow) to 0.73 kg (crow) and if there are individuals on the site for the above example, the above types of opening of opening 7 will not occur.
