Description

{Apparatus for feeding bird}

The present invention relates to a bird feeder for feeding birds such as poultry. More particularly, the present invention relates to a bird feeder for feeding birds, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI >

Birds raised by humans are called poultry if necessary. Poultry is usually raised for food purposes. Typically, there are poultry such as chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other poultry raised for ornamental purposes. These poultry are usually managed in large quantities on farms, farms, etc.

For example, edible birds such as chickens are constantly consumed in restaurants or homes, so they are often mass-produced by specialized suppliers. In the case of large-scale breeding of algae as described above, it is possible to store the feed in the feeder and the like installed in the house, so that the algae can eat it from time to time.

In other words, it is difficult to independently manage the supply of food to each of the large-sized birds. Therefore, after the feeder is installed in the breeding space, the birds are induced to eat as much as necessary. In addition, because of the nature of algae, this feeding method is more useful because it feeds a small amount of food continuously.

However, in the past, the poultry that is installed inside the cages has a structure that can easily infiltrate moisture, and the access to other beasts such as rats is often defenseless. Therefore, the feed was easily solidified, easily scalded, difficult to be released to the outside, and had various problems such as loss or contamination of feed by other beasts such as rats that easily went inside the house.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the present invention is only defined by the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, a bird feeding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. FIG.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bird feeding device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the bird feeding device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the bird feeding device of FIG.

1 to 3, a bird food feeding apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a container unit 10 in which feed is received, a container unit 10 located below the container unit 10, A discharge port 20 communicating with the discharge port 20 and communicating with the discharge port 20 and provided with a discharge port (see 20a in FIG. 5) opened upward to feed the food from the container section 10; The door unit 30 is connected to the door unit 30 at one end thereof and a perch 42 is formed at the other end thereof for seating the algae. A seesaw centering around a fulcrum formed between the one end and the other end, And a door opening and closing part 40 for opening the door part 30 when the doors 42 are lowered. In this embodiment, the hinge shaft 411a connecting the door opening and closing part 40 and the discharge part 20 serves as a fulcrum. The door opening and closing part 40 seesaws around the hinge shaft 411a.

The bird food feeding device (1) of the present invention opens and closes an outlet (20a) of a discharge portion (20) by a seesaw motion of a door opening / closing portion (40) rotating around a fulcrum. Particularly, by forming the tongue 42 at the other end of the door opening and closing part 40, the door part 30 can be easily operated by inducing the seating of the tide and by using the load sitting on the tide 42. In addition, since the door portion 30 closes the discharge port 20a by its own weight when the algae leaves the lid 42, the opening and closing operation of the discharge port 20a is automatically and conveniently performed without any additional power.

In addition, the present invention can set the limit load for operating the door unit 30 by adjusting the self weight of at least one of the door unit 30 and the door 42. For example, if the weight of the door 42 is increased, the door 30 can be operated even if the weight is relatively small. However, if the weight of the door 42 is reduced, it is difficult to raise the door 30 Only the relatively heavy algae will be able to operate the door 30. By setting the limit load appropriately, it is possible not only to block access to small animals such as rats, but also to open the door part (30) only when the bird sits on the lid (42) It can be stored in a good state.

Hereinafter, a bird food feeding apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Further features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.

The container 10 has a structure in which the inside is empty, and the feed is received inside. The feed contained in the container portion 10 is not limited to a specific kind, and any feed that can feed the birds is possible. In this specification, feed is used in the same sense as food that birds can eat. The container unit 10 can adjust the size and the capacity of the acceptable feed according to the number of birds or the area of the breeding facility. 1 to 3, a cover 11 is formed at the upper end of the container unit 10 so that feed can be supplied from the upper end of the container unit 10 and sealed and stored.

1 and 2, the width of the upper portion of the container portion 10 is larger than the width of the lower portion thereof. 2, one side (the left side or the right side of the container part in the drawing) can be superimposed in the vertical direction with the discharge part 20 located under the container part 10 as shown in FIG. Since the outlet 20a is opened toward the upper side of the discharge portion 20 (see 20a in FIG. 5), the discharge port 20a can also be overlapped with the one side portion of the container portion 10 in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent dirt and other rainwater falling from the upper part of the breeding facility or the like from flowing into the discharge port 20a even when the door portion 30 is opened.

The container portion 10 forms an inclined surface 10a whose width gradually decreases from the top to the bottom as shown in Fig. The angle of inclination of the inclined surface 10a can be appropriately adjusted as necessary and it is possible to guide the feed fed to the upper portion to the lower portion of the container portion 10 more easily. For example, the inclination angle of the inclined plane 10a can be changed to be relatively large or small depending on the type and blending ratio of the feed mainly used. In addition, even when the width of the upper portion of the container portion 10 is increased, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 10a can be correspondingly changed. The door portion 30 may be provided below the inclined surface 10a so as to maintain an acute angle of opening (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

At least a part of the container portion 10 is formed to be transparent. Therefore, the algae can access the food stored inside through the container portion 10 to recognize and eat the food. For example, birds such as chickens are considered to have a fairly good visual field, so that at least a part of the birds can be provided with a transparent container section 10 to induce access to algae. In the case where the bird pits the container portion 10 for eating the feed inside the container portion 10, the internal feed can be more easily moved downward by the impact. The container portion 10 can be formed transparently using a synthetic material such as, for example, light-transmitting acrylic.

The discharge portion 20 is located at the lower portion of the container portion 10 and communicates with the container portion 10. [ Therefore, the feed is supplied from the container portion 10 to the discharge portion 20. The discharge portion 20 may be integrally formed with the container portion 10, but may be separately formed and coupled to the container portion 10. The discharge portion 20 and the container portion 10 may be formed of the same material or different materials. The discharge portion 20 protrudes from different surfaces (for example, the left and right surfaces of FIG. 2) of the container portion 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, May extend along the discharge portion 20 as shown in Fig. A pedestal 50 for supporting the entire bird feeding device 1 may be formed in the lower part of the discharge part 20.

The discharge portion 20 includes an outlet (see 20a in Fig. 5) opened toward the upper side. The outlet 20a extends along the discharge portion 20 and extends in a direction parallel to the lug 42 described above. Therefore, algae sitting on the trough 42 can easily feed the feed inside the outlet 20a. The discharge portion 20 can reduce the moving speed of the feed moving along the inclined surface 10a to the bottom surface portion of the curved surface as shown in FIG. 2, and the feed can be stably supplied. Further, one or more discharge portions 20 from the lower portion of the container portion 10 having a relatively reduced width can be diverged broadly to both sides of the container portion 10, thereby minimizing the dead zone where the access of the algae is limited.

The door portion 30 is hinged to the discharge portion 20 to open / close the discharge port (see 20a in Fig. 5). The door portion 30 is coupled to the upper portion of the discharge portion 20 in correspondence with the discharge port 20a opened upward on the discharge portion 20 as shown in Figs. The door portion 30 may be formed in a planar shape as shown in the figure, but may be deformed into a shape at least partly including a curved surface. The door portion 30 can be deformed into various shapes that can seal the discharge port 20a. When the algae 42 descends, the door 30 is raised and opened. When the algae 42 detached, the door 30 is lowered by its own weight to close the outlet 20a. The door portion 30 can be formed of a material that weighs moderately in consideration of the weight of the tongue 42 and the weight of the bird. The door 30 may be formed in a different shape to the extent that the discharge port 20a can be closed by its own weight. For example, in another embodiment, the door portion 30 may be formed in such a manner that it is opened and closed by sliding in the vertical direction. The operation of the door unit 30 will be described later in more detail.

One end of the door opening and closing part 40 is connected to the door part 30 and the other end part of the door opening / The door opening and closing part 40 performs a seesaw motion about a fulcrum formed between one end and the other end and is operated to open the door part 30 when the door 42 descends. The door opening / closing part 40 may be formed in various forms, at least a part of which can rotate around a fulcrum and perform a seesaw motion. The door opening and closing part 40 includes a link member 41 having a fulcrum point (the above-described hinge axis) formed at one side thereof so as to be able to be bent at least once between the door part 30 and the lug 42, ). &Lt; / RTI >

The door opening and closing part 40 can more easily transmit the load acting on the spool 42 to the door part 30 by using the link member 41. [ The link member 41 includes a first link 411 rotatably coupled to the discharge portion 20 by a hinge shaft 411a and a second link 411 rotatably coupled to the second link 411 and the door portion 30 And a link 412. [ The first link 411 is formed at the end of the first link 411 and the first link 411 is relatively long so that the force acting on the link 42 due to the principle of the lever is transmitted to the second link 411 412). The second link 412 transfers the action force transmitted from the first link 411 to the door portion 30 to open the door portion 30. [ The link member 41 is configured such that the first link 411 and the second link 412 are connected to each other so that the angle of refraction is changed corresponding to the opening position of the door portion 30 to flexibly operate the door portion 30. [ have. The operation of the door opening / closing unit 40 including the link member 41 will be described later in more detail.

As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, a plurality of pawls 42 are disposed at mutually different distances from the fulcrum (the aforementioned hinge axis). Therefore, the present invention can be easily applied to different algae of different elongation. One or more of the doors 42 may be formed on the other end of the door opening and closing unit 40 in a pair. In addition, a weight adjusting portion (see 421 in Fig. 3) for accommodating a heavy object is formed inside the lid 42. The weight adjusting part 421 may be an empty space provided inside the weighing part 42 and the weight of the weighing part 42 may be adjusted as described above. 3, the inlet 422 communicating with the weight adjusting part 421 and supplying the fluid B into the weight adjusting part 421 and the fluid B of the weight adjusting part 421, It is possible to inject or discharge fluid into the inside of the lid 42 and adjust the weight of the lid 42 by using an outlet portion 423 for discharging the lid 42 to the outside.

By adjusting the weight of the lid 42 as described above, it is possible to set or change the limit weight for operating the door 30 as described above. This allows the feeding of food to be carried out smoothly only for the birds to be reared, the access of other beasts is restricted, and the door 30 is opened only when the bird sits on the urn 42 to eat the food, . This will be described later in more detail.

In the present embodiment, the case where the weights 42 are formed on the weights 42 is described as a reference, but it is not necessarily understood as such. As described above, the weight of at least one of the door part 30 and the door 42 can be appropriately adjusted by accommodating the heavy object in at least one of the door part 30 and the door 42. For example, in another embodiment, the weight adjusting portion 421 may be formed on the side of the door portion 30, and the weight adjusting portion 421 may receive a weight other than the fluid. In this case, at least a part of the shape of the weight adjusting part 421, the shape of the lid 42 and the shape of the door part 30 may be deformed correspondingly.

4 to 9, the detailed operation of the door unit and door opening / closing unit and the use of the algae feeding apparatus will be described in more detail.

4 to 6, a specific operation of the door unit and the door opening / closing unit will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4, one end of the door opening and closing part 40 is connected to the door part 30, and the other end is formed with a door 42. A plurality of the pins 42 may be formed at different distances from the hinge axis 411a serving as a fulcrum. Algae sitting at different positions (42) may have different heights and correspondingly different weights. Accordingly, in consideration of this, it is possible to appropriately adjust the weight of the different shafts 42 and to set the door unit 30 to be opened easily when the bird sits.

The link member 41 includes a first link 411 coupled to the discharge portion 20 through the hinge shaft 411a and a second link 411 coupled to the second link 411 and the door portion 30, And a link 412. [ The first link 411 and the second link 412 may be connected to each other by a bolt 412a or the like and the second link 412 and the door unit 30 may be connected to each other by a connection axis 412b. A shaft connecting portion 311 into which the connecting shaft 412b is inserted may be formed at one side of the hinge 310 connecting the door portion 30 and the discharge portion 20.

The link member 41 is flexibly bent so that the connection portion formed between the first link 411 and the second link 412 and between the second link 412 and the door portion 30 is flexibly bent, Can be easily operated. 5, when the lid 42 of the door opening and closing part 40 descends, at least a part of the door opening and closing part 40 is rotated around the hinge shaft 411a to perform a seesaw motion, So that an action force for raising the portion 30 is transmitted. The door portion 30 is raised correspondingly and opened as shown. When the door portion 30 is opened, the discharge port 20a of the discharge portion 20 is opened and algae can feed the feed A through the discharge port 20a.

In this case, as described above, the weight of the lid 42 can be appropriately adjusted by injecting fluid into the weight adjusting portion 421 of the lid 42. The weight of the tongue 42 can be appropriately increased or decreased within a range in which the door portion 30 can be kept closed when the tide is not seated. When the weight of the tongue 42 is increased, even if the relatively lightweight algae sits on the tongue 42, the door 30 is opened as shown in the figure. However, when the weight of the tongue 42 is decreased, The door portion 30 is opened only when a heavy algae sits on the spool 42. Therefore, it is possible to set the load, that is, the limit load, by which the door portion 30 can be opened by adjusting the weight of the door 42. [ Even if a mouse or the like having a weight smaller than the limit load rides on the tongue 42, the door portion 30 is not opened.

That is, the door portion 30 is operated so as to open only when the algae of an appropriate weight sits on the door 42 corresponding to the set limit load. The limit load may be appropriately changed corresponding to the development state, growth state, etc. of the current algae, and may be set differently for different lobes 42 considering the lobes 42 disposed at different positions. In this way, the door portion 30 can be opened only when the algae sits on the door 42. The bird has a habit of sitting on the tongue 42 so that it naturally sits on the tongue 42 adjacent to the outlet 20 and can easily feed the feed A of the outlet 20a using a relatively long neck structure have. However, in the case of other beasts, the possibility of direct access to the discharge part (20) or the container part (10) by passing through the smell (42) is very high, .

6, the discharge portion 20 protrudes to both sides of the lower portion of the container portion 10 and the door opening / closing portion 40 formed in each discharge portion 20 operates to operate each door portion 30 . As described above, the door portion 30 is located at an acute angle below the inclined surface 10a of the container portion 10 and is opened at an acute angle. When the bird sitting on the door 42 is detached, the door portion 30 is lowered by its own weight to close the outlet 20a . That is, the opening / closing process of the discharge port 20a is automatically performed by using the weight of the spool 42, the weight of the bird, and the weight of the door part 30 without any additional power. Particularly, since the door portion 30 is prevented from completely opening in the vertical direction by the inclined surface 10a, the door portion 30 has a load component acting always in the gravity direction even in the open state, so that the closing action by its own weight can be more smoothly performed.

Hereinafter, the use of the bird food feeding apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. FIG.

Such a bird feeding device 1 can be very easily applied to algae C and D of different sizes as shown in FIGS. As described above, when the weight of the spool 42 is adjusted to increase the limit load, only when the bird C or the large current near to the adult sits on the spool 42 as shown in Fig. 7, If the limit load is reduced by adjusting the weight of the tiller 42, the bird D or the small tiller 42, which is still growing as shown in FIG. 8, It is possible to set the door portion 30 to be opened even if it is seated. It is also possible to adjust the weights of the lobes 42 at different positions differently in consideration of the elongation of the birds during the breeding. It is possible to set the limit load by appropriately changing the weight of the lid 42 on which the bird sits according to the growth state, development degree, and development period of the bird in the breeding, and to open the door 30 only when the bird is seated .

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, in case of other beasts that can not sit on the lid 42, the door 30 can not be operated, so that the discharge port (see 20a in FIG. Particularly, small animals such as a mouse (E) that easily infiltrates into a breeding facility are less than the above-mentioned limit load, so that the door portion 30 does not operate even when the animal rises up to the lug 42. In addition, even if the beast having a large weight moves up the lid 42 and the door part 30 is opened, the door part 30 is closed again when the lid is moved to the outlet for eating the food, Therefore, not only the bird food feeding device 1 of the present invention can effectively block the access of other animals other than birds, but also the door portion 30 is opened only when the bird sits on the tongue 42 to eat the food, , It can be maintained in an airtight state to keep feeds in a very good condition and supply them to birds.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken in conjunction with the present invention. You will understand. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
