Description

The utility model relates to devices for mechanization of labor-intensive processes in animal husbandry, in particular, to a feeder for feeding bulk feeds and can be used in agriculture, both on large and small cattle farms (cattle) of dairy or meat directions for safe feeding animals on walking grounds or pastures.

State of the art

Known feeder for feeding roughage, containing a hopper, the side walls of which are made in the form of racks mounted on the frame, connected by horizontal rods, on which vertical rods are mounted to move along them, while the horizontal rods are provided with clamps for vertical rods and mounted to move in a vertical plane (see Pat. RU No. 1777739, IPC А01К 5/00, published on November 30, 1992).

The disadvantage of this feeder is the unsafe feeding of roughage to animals due to the possibility of accidental ingestion of metal objects when feeding.

Known feed dispenser - dispenser containing a frame that is installed with the possibility of its reciprocal - translational movement along the rollers of the horizontal roller path along the feeder common to all animals, the frame is made long, guaranteeing its support for at least three rollers, while it is equipped with mounted on the frame one or more dispensers - feeders for portioned distribution of feed to individual animals and / or individual groups of animals in their feeding areas, and feeding areas are delimited by rollers.

The feed dispenser - the dispenser is equipped with elements for differentiating animal stalls, and the rollers on the feeder are installed in common planes with these elements.

The feed dispenser-dispenser is equipped with elements for delimiting the sections of the feeder along its bottom, and the rollers are mounted on the feeder above these elements (see Pat. RU No. 2170008, IPC A01K 5/02, A01K 5/00, publ. July 10, 2001).

The disadvantage of this feeder-dispenser is the design complexity, limited functionality, namely only stationary use, as well as the lack of a dosed feeding mechanism for animals, low reliability of the design.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved positive effect and adopted by the authors for the prototype is a feeder for feeding concentrated bulk feed containing a hopper and a feeding sector located below it, while the hopper is pivotally mounted on racks rigidly mounted on a fixed platform, and the feeding sector consists of the feed tray and the feed distributor rigidly fixed on it, which has a longitudinal section in the form of a triangle, the apex of which is directed to the horizontal axis of the bunker Era (see Pat. UA No. 45960, IPC A01K 5/00, published on December 10, 2009).

The disadvantage of this feeder is the unsafe feeding of bulk feed to animals due to the possibility of feeding accidental ingress of metal objects, such as metal wire or metal products into the bulk feed, which can be harmful to animal health, including death.

Utility Model Disclosure

The objective of the proposed utility model is the development of a feeder for the safe feeding of concentrated bulk feeds, which ensures safe feeding of feeds by additionally supplying it with magnetic inductive sensors with the possibility of detecting random metal objects, as well as reducing labor costs when servicing animals.

The technical result that can be obtained using the proposed utility model is to ensure safe feeding of feed and reduce labor costs when servicing animals.

The technical result is achieved by using a feeder for safe feeding of concentrated bulk feed containing a hopper and a feeding sector located underneath, while the hopper is pivotally mounted on racks rigidly mounted on a fixed platform, and the feeding sector consists of a feed tray and a feed distributor rigidly fixed to it while it is additionally equipped with two magnetic inductive sensors with the ability to respond to the appearance of metal objects mounted from a hinge and a controller with a power source secured in a compartment located in one of the lower corners of the hopper.

The industry of modern industrial livestock breeding is characterized by the use of highly productive animal genotypes, which, as a means of production, have high cost and complexity of reproduction, therefore, ensuring the safety of cattle and small cattle when feeding concentrated bulk feed is an important production task, despite the fact that commercial samples of commercially available feeders with the function detection of metal objects during the patent information search is not detected wife, while the facts of the accidental ingress of metal objects, for example, the remains of a metal cable or hardware products: nails, screws, nuts, etc., which can randomly get into concentrated bulk feed during their manufacture or when loading into the feed hopper, are not uncommon thus harming the animal, even fatal. Magnetic-inductive sensors located on hinges with the output of working surfaces inside the feed hopper will react to the appearance of metal objects in their area of operation, which will allow the animal care operator to take timely measures to prevent possible damage to animal health. Thus, additional supply of the feeder with two magneto-inductive sensors with the possibility of responding to the appearance of metal objects installed with hinges and a controller with a power source, mounted in a compartment located in one of the lower corners of the hopper, the action of which is based on a change in the oscillation amplitude of the generator (on Fig. not shown) when introducing into the active zone of a magnetic inductive sensor materials that excite the occurrence of a magnetic field, in this case, metal objects, Some may be among non-ferromagnetic materials, in this case feed, and since a controller with the ability to receive a signal from the sensor and a power source is located in one of the lower corners of the hopper, the accumulated signals from the sensors are transmitted to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which then, upon returning to the base, transmits data to the operator serving the animal feeders, which makes it possible to solve the set technical result.

Utility Model Implementation

The feeder for safe feeding of concentrated bulk feed consists of a hopper 1, (see Fig.) With a lid 2, which is mounted on two racks 3, the latter are mounted on the hopper 1 with hinges 4 and rigidly on a stationary platform 5, and under the hopper 1 on the fixed platform 5 has a feeding sector, consisting of a feed tray 6 and a feed distributor 7 rigidly fixed thereon, while in the upper part of the hopper 1, in the hinge region 4, two magnetically inductive sensors 8 are additionally placed, for example, BIM-M12E-Y1X -H 1141 (see LLC C With "Service", RF), with the output of the working surfaces inside the feed hopper 1, with the possibility of responding to the appearance of metal objects in their area of operation, while in one of the lower corners of the hopper 1 of the feeder there is a special compartment 9, in which the controller 10 is located an electronic control device with software and a power source 11, and the magnetic inductive sensors 8, upon detection of a metal object, transmits an analog output signal to the controller 10, which then transmits a signal to the besp otny aerial vehicle (UAV) (FIG. not shown) when flying over the feeder.

The feeder for safe feeding of concentrated bulk feed is operated as follows.

The feeder is placed on walking grounds or on pastures. The hopper 1 is filled with concentrated bulk feed and covered with a lid 2. Feeding the animals from the feed tray 6, which is mounted on a fixed platform 5. As the feed is eaten from the hopper 1 under the influence of instinctive pushing movements of the animals, the hopper 1 oscillates, which is mounted on racks 3 by means of hinges 4. The feed through the slot, under the lower part of the hopper 1 and with the help of the feed distributor 7, is poured into the feed tray 6, and in case of accidental metal objects falling into the coverage area of inductive-inductive sensors 8, with the output of the working surfaces inside the feed hopper 1, electric power is supplied to the magnetically inductive sensors 8, in the area of its sensitive zone a changing magnetic field is formed, inducing eddy currents in the material introduced into the zone, which lead to a change in amplitude oscillations of the generator. As a result of the actions, an analog output signal is generated, the value of which varies from the distance between the sensors 8 and the monitored object (not shown in Fig.), While the change in the signal is recorded on the controller 10, which accumulates the obtained statistical information. Description of the signal transmission system: sensors 8 provide a signal about the status of the feeder to the controller 10 (electronic control device with software). The controller 10 accumulates statistics of the fed signals, which make it possible to assess the condition of the feeder and, when a radio communication arises when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flies above the feeder, through a special command-telemetric radio line in the frequency range 902-922 MHz, transfers the accumulated information to the UAV . Upon the return of the UAV to the base, the collected information is analyzed and the operator makes decisions about the need to service the feeders.

Thus, in the presence or absence of warning signals, the animal care operator constantly receives information about the state of the safety level when feeding concentrated bulk feeds.

The proposed utility model in comparison with the prototype and other well-known technical solutions has the following advantages:

- ensuring safe feeding of concentrated bulk feed to animals, due to the additional supply of the feeder

magnetic inductive sensors with the ability to detect random metal objects;

- the exception of the death of animals due to the ingestion of metal objects with food;

- reduction of labor costs when servicing animals.
