Cattle feeding device

The invention relates to a cattle feeding device a feed feed line and a distribution chamber to which separate and closable feed supply for several feeding places Lines are connected in the bottom of the distribution board flow out.

For example, Eire £> olcn.e Torrichtuag is off <?. he DT-OS 1 757 848 known. You can use the individual feed supply line differentiating amounts of feed automatically are fed. In the known device, the mouths of the feed supply lines are final Valves raised at the same time, the valves adjusted in their closing sequence by different stem lengths can be. It has been shown that such a device, apart from its mechanical complexity, is too prone to failure and the desired allocation is not guaranteed in a reproducible manner in every case.

To eliminate these disadvantages, the invention provides that the mouths of the feed supply lines through a plate having at least one passage opening are completed, which is movable with its passage opening over the mouths of the feed supply lines, and by control means for determining the duration of the line connection of the individual feed supply lines with the distribution chamber. It is thereby achieved that the plate successively the individual feed supply lines over a certain amount of time Time duration and so allows the allocation of the feed, without the system through a complicated mechanics is prone to failure within the distribution chamber.

In a further development of the invention, the plate is advantageous Drive-connected to an electric motor via a reduction gear, the plate with its passage opening over the respectively adjacent mouth of a feed supply line emotional. Adjacent mouths of the feed supply line are particularly advantageous Distance from each other. As a result, the plate always moves over the same distance.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the electric motor is switched off via a limit switch after the plate has moved. Provided that the mouths of the feed supply lines are at the same distance from each other, no limit switches with a special " ¹ :" lead must be connected to a cylinder of the reduction gear and actuated after a full turn of the pinion. This results in a particularly simple design in terms of design and manufacturing technology.

In a further development of the invention, the electric motor is through a pulse is set in motion when a timer expires. A plurality of per se known is advantageous here Timers provided, the end pulse of the one timing member switching to the next timing member. The timers can each be assigned to a putter feed line and can be adjusted according to requirements. The timing elements are advantageous because of the limit switch for the plate movement set in motion.

Either the electric motor or a timing element is therefore in operation in each case. After a timer has elapsed, it switches on the next, separately set timer to and at the same time sets the electric motor in motion, so that the plate to the next Muzzle is turned further. If this position is reached, then

the electric motor is switched off via a limit switch and at the same time the timer set in motion, which the duration of the line connection of the open supply line with the Distribution chamber determined. After the timer has elapsed, the electric motor is started again and the next timer switched, after which this process is repeated. This makes the device independent of the distribution, Chamber arranged mechanical control means and avoids in addition to their mechanical effort and the associated Susceptibility to failure.

The plate is circular in shape in a particularly space-saving manner formed and is set in rotary motion, the mouths de ^ putter feed line an in t? n: ei 'ring zone arranged sin £. A shortening of the supply line by "Air-.ah" - However, the connection of their mouths to the putter troughs can thereby: r ~ reiont weraen that the plate is rectangular and in Translational movement is offset, the mouths of the feed supply lines arranged along at least one straight line are.

A space-saving arrangement of a large number of feed lines at the distributor can be achieved that further openings of supply lines along an equidistant to Connecting line of the first mouths are arranged and with a their associated area of the passage opening of the plate or cooperate with other passage openings. However, such a training can also be used, respectively to connect several feed supply lines to the distribution chamber at the same time.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention an end position is provided for the clockwise movements of the plate, in which all the mouths of the supply lines are closed are. In the event that a plurality of distributors

Further details, features and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing; it shows

Pig. 1 shows a cross section through a cattle feeding device according to the invention ,

Pig. 2 a section along line JI-II «iup Pjg. ].

The V ¹ .e \ cooling device according to the invention. has a feed feed line 1 which opens in the middle of an iodine 2 of a distribution chamber 3. The feed pressed from the feed feed line 1 into the distribution chamber 3 first reaches an antechamber 4, which has transfer openings 5 into the main space of the distribution chamber 3.

The distribution chamber 3 is closed laterally and at the top and has 2 openings 6 and 7 of feed supply lines in its bottom 8 on. The mouths 6 and 7 of the feed supply lines 8 face the interior of the distribution chamber 3 closed by a plate 9 which has a passage opening 10. If the passage opening 10 has a mouth 6 or 7 is brought to congruence, so is the feed supply line in question 8 line-connected to the interior of the distribution chamber 3.

The plate 9 is firmly connected to the housing of the prechamber k , to which an output shaft 11 of a reduction gear 12, which is guided through the cover of the distributor chamber in a sealed manner, is attached. The reduction gear 12 has one of a

Electric motor 13 driven pinion 14 and a drive wheel 15 correspondingly enlarged in diameter. Will the electric motor 13- put into operation, the pinion 14 rotates the drive wheel 15 with the output shaft 11 and this over the housing of the Pre-chamber 4 the plate 9, so that the passage opening 10 of the plate 9 with adjacent mouths 6 or 7 of the supply lines 8 comes to cover.

If the motor I5 is set in motion, the pinion 14 is rotated one full revolution and, after the full revolution, switches the electric motor I3 off again via a limit switch indicated at 16 scheiun.Dii-.ch. The transmission ratio and the distance ä ^ v mouths 6 una 7 m Umfan & cricnti "· ~ -., I ^ s EocOns are gewähl i, da2 tine rotation de R .fc els sufficient to the passage opening 10 of äluer mouth 5??? to an adjacent opening 7 in the bottom 2. r ~ r limit switch * ■ £ switches on simultaneously with the shutdown of the engine, a not shown in more detail known timer, at which the time is set for which the opening 10 congruent mouth 6 or 7 should be drive-connected to the distribution chamber 3, i.e. the duration of the charging of a special feed feed line 8. After the timer has elapsed, it starts the electric motor again and switches over to a second timer at the same time of the pinion 14 and the further movement of the passage opening 10 of the plate 9 to the next opening 6 or 7, the electric motor 13 is switched off again by the limit switch and d he new timer switched on.

In this way it is achieved that the passage opening 10 is indexed clockwise, and with each mouth 6 or a feed line 8 remains in cover as long as a charge of the putter associated with the relevant line 8

trough is provided.

In the present embodiment, the mouths 6 and 7 of the feed supply lines 8 are arranged in an annular zone, and the plate 9 is formed in a ring shape. It is the same however, it is possible, in a manner not shown, to select a distribution chamber 3 which is rectangular in plan, a plate adapted to it in cross section and mouths of the supply lines arranged along a straight line, for movement the plate instead of the drive wheel 15, for example, a rack can be provided. This gives the device a greater expansion, which can be advantageous in that the mouths of the feed guide points closer to the associated ones Feed troughs can be placed.

In the present embodiment, it is also provided that, in addition to the mouths 5 lying on a pitch circle 17, additional mouths 7 are provided, which are arranged on a pitch circle 18 equidistant from the pitch circle 11. As a result, more orifices 6 or 7 can be provided in the bottom 2 of the distribution chamber 3 than would be possible alone with an arrangement on a pitch circle 17 or 18. Nevertheless, it is ensured that the passage opening 10 encompassing both partial circular paths is in each case only in congruence with one mouth 6 or 7.

In the event that the same for different supply lines

Feed quantities are provided, the passage opening 10 or the position of the mouths 6 and 7 are obviously chosen so that at the same time 2 or more Mouths are open. For the same purpose, instead of a passage opening which considerably exceeds the area of the mouths 6 10 several individual passage openings can also be provided »

The orifices 6 and 7, of which only a few are shown in the drawing for illustration purposes, are distributed over both pitch circles 17 and 18, with the only exception that an orifice 6 or 7 is missing at one point. When the passage opening 10 comes to coincide with this closed point of the bottom 2 of the distribution chamber 5, the drive wheel 15, which meshes with the pinion, actuates a further limit switch 19 on the device after the last of the timers has already switched back to the first timer. stops and at the same time, if necessary, a further cattle feeding device is kept, so that after the feeding of the putter into the feed line «^ 8. A second device can automatically feed additional supply lines if necessary

It is also conceivable that the device according to the invention is not directly to be used with the ICtlcr as a control medium, rather for example to load with oil, which - as in the embodiment example, the feed - for a certain period of time is connected to the individual lines, but not directly the feed into the trough at the end of the lines but rather the oil on an oil-controlled valve acts, which in turn is line-connected to the distribution chamber 5 for the period in which the associated line is opened. Such an indirect control of the feed allocation via the device according to the invention has the Advantage that the mechanics are not different with lining materials Consistency, but rather is operated with oil and thus disturbances are excluded to an even greater extent.
