Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to agriculture and is intended for storage and distribution of animal feed.

State of the art

Known mobile self-feeder (see patent for invention RU No. 2125790 C1, Feeder for sheep), including supports, trellised housing and coating. A disadvantage of the known feeders is the structural complexity that impedes its transportation to a new place.

Known self-feeder for roll hay (see. Certificate for utility model RU No. 34311 U1, Self-feeder), including supports, trellised case of vertical rods and a coating designed to accommodate it, including roll hay. A disadvantage of the known feeders is the difficulty of transporting it to a new place.

Known self-feeder (see patent for invention RU No. 2231255 C2, self-feeding stack), including supports, lattice case of vertical rods, inside the shell of rotation and coating. A disadvantage of the known self-feeders is the inability to transport it.

The closest technical solution to the claimed invention is a collapsible self-feeder (see patent US 8757093 B1), including supports, cover and side lattice fence, consisting of interconnected through dismantling through lattice shells. A disadvantage of the known feeders is a large number of structural elements requiring assembly and constituting its structure. As a result, a large number of small parts and fasteners are needed that increase the complexity and time of installation or dismantling when moving the feeder to a new place.

Disclosure of invention

The self-feeder is designed for use with roll hay and is characterized in that its elements - a fence of vertical rods, the bottom, supports and cover are made of block, collapsible, with the possibility of temporary connection to a durable functional object for feeding livestock (sheep).

The fence of the self-feeder forms a spatial block made in the form of a rigid spatial metal frame of cylindrical shape with regular placement of vertical rods around the perimeter, rigidly connected outside by horizontal rings, made with the possibility of temporary articulation of the spatial block with the same spatial block up and (or) other collapsible elements moreover, more than one spatial block can be installed upward.

This allows you to install one on one vertically two or more rolls of hay for feeding animals in a longer time interval.

The bottom of the self-feeder is made in the form of a shell convex inside the shell on a circular plane, with a stiffness ring fixed to it on the contour, and in the center of the shell and on the stiffness ring symmetrically arranged holes with the possibility of temporary articulation of the bottom with other elements of the feeder.

The bottom of the self-feeder is made with the possibility of temporary placement in its geometric center of vertical cross-shaped knives.

Each of the supports of the self-feeder is made in the form of a rod, pointed in the lower part and a tubular section in the upper, made with the possibility of limited penetration into the ground and with the possibility of temporary fixing to it of the bottom and the spatial block.

The coating of the self-feeder is made in the form of a shell convex to the outside, with the possibility of temporary fastening to the vertical rods of the spatial block.

The self-feeder is assembled in the following order: the supports are clogged onto which the support ring with the bottom is put on, and vertical cross-shaped knives are installed in the center of the bottom, then a spatial block (blocks) is installed on the support ring, inside of which (of which) roll hay is vertically placed (one roll , or more) and the coating is fixed at the top.

The connection of all elements of the self-feeder to each other is carried out in a groove, for which the corresponding vertical elements are hollow. Under the influence of its own weight or additional force, the roll is cut with knives into parts that move along the convex bottom from the center to the periphery - a trellised fence for eating by animals. Animals, in particular sheep, are placed on the circular perimeter of the feeder. It should be noted that cutting the roll allows animals to extract hay from the roll with less energy.

Structural strength with horizontal wind exposure is ensured by connecting the blocks in the groove and its own weight. Therefore, there are no fasteners in the self-feeder, no bolt or threaded connections. If necessary, the self-feeder can be easily disassembled and transferred (rolled in parts) to a new place.

The implementation of the invention

The self-feeder includes a lattice metal frame of a cylindrical fence, forming a spatial block (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3), a bottom (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5), the design of the vertical cross-shaped knives (Fig. 6), supports (Fig. 7) and coating (Fig. 8), made collapsible with the possibility of temporary connection into a single functional object for feeding livestock.

The spatial unit of the self-feeder (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) is made in the form of a rigid (welded) spatial metal frame of cylindrical shape with regular placement around the perimeter of the vertical rods of the fence 1 and the rods of structural connection 2, rigidly connected from the outside by horizontal rings 3, and the vertical rods 2 made of tubular section, arranged in mutually perpendicular directions and equipped at the lower ends with rigidly fixed in the pipes, for example, by contact welding, cylindrical pa 4 tsami constant diameter adapted to block spatial durable joint with the adjacent trough elements.

The bottom of the self-feeder (Fig. 5, Fig. 6) is made in the form of a shell 5 convex inside the shell on a circular plan, with a support ring of rigidity 6, fixed to it on the contour, and a hole 7 is arranged in the geometric center of the shell, and symmetrically on the ring of rigidity 6 holes 8 are arranged.

The design of the vertical knives (Fig. 7) consists of a support element 9, made with the possibility of support on the sheath 5, to which the vertical cross-shaped knives 10 are rigidly fixed at the top, and the locking pin 11 rigidly fixed at the bottom, made with the possibility of placement in the hole 7.

Each of the supports of the self-feeder (Fig. 8) is made in the form of a rod of stepped section: solid, pointed to the bottom 12 with a supporting washer 13 mounted on it, and tubular at the top 14, and the outer diameter of the tubular section 14 is made with the possibility of its placement in the holes of the bottom 8 and the inner diameter of the tubular part of the support is arranged to accommodate cylindrical fingers 4 of the spatial block.

The coating of the self-feeder (Fig. 4) is made in the form of a shell 15 convex to the outside, possibly of reinforced plastic, with vertical rods 16 fastened to it, for example, made with the possibility of their placement in the vertical tubular rods 2 of the space block.

Spatial blocks, due to the uniformity of the connection design (in the groove), can make up several firmly connected “floors”. In FIG. 1 shows a feeder from two blocks docked in a groove between each other.

The self-feeder is assembled from bottom to top in the following order and as follows: support rings of rigidity 6 with a bottom are installed on the supporting washers 14 coaxially to the holes, the support rods are placed in the holes and hammered into the ground, a fixing rod 11 with vertical cross-shaped knives is placed in the hole 7 on the bottom 10, cylindrical fingers 4 of the spatial block are installed in the cylindrical holes of the support rods. Inside the block, roll hay (not shown) is placed on vertical cross-shaped knives. Finally, the coating 15 is attached to the block by placing the vertical rods 16 in the cavity of the vertical rods of the tubular section 2 of the spatial block.

The connection of all elements of the feeder to each other is carried out only in the groove and is held as a single system due to gravity and the size of the elements in the connection.

Hay roll under the influence of its own weight or forcibly cut with knives and moves along the convex bottom from the center to the periphery. Animals, in particular sheep, eat food, located on the circular perimeter of the feeder.

If necessary, the feeder is disassembled and transferred (rolled) to a new place.
