The invention is a wildlife feeder comprising a support line, a reservoir, a base, a regulator, a spring designed to secure said regulator in said base, a tether attachable to said regulator and a stake such that the stake is installed in the ground to created a taut connection of the wildlife feeder with the ground. The wildlife feeder is wildlife actuated and can be customized to meter feed out to animals in a desired way given the targeted animals to feed and animals to be prevented from actuating the feeder. The spring is coupled with the regulator such that it exerts an upward force on the regulator which abuts it against an annular seat in the base. When an animal exerts force on the feeder the regulator is opened by compression of the spring and feed is metered out. There is also disclosed an optional feed tray that is either unitary with the regulator or attachable to the regulator such that feed that is dispensed lands on the feed tray for eating or dispersing by animals.

A feeding apparatus includes an accommodating tank, a diverting module, a discharge assembly, three optical sensors and a control module. The accommodating tank includes a bottom opening and accommodates the materials. The diverting module includes a driving unit and a blade unit. The blade unit is disposed at the accommodating tank and corresponds to the bottom opening. The discharge assembly includes a storage tank, a discharging opening and a pusher. The accommodating tank is disposed in the storage tank to form a storage space in the storage tank. The pusher moves between the bottom of the storage tank and the discharging opening. The three optical sensors are disposed on the storage tank and correspond to the storage space to form a high-level detection plane and a low-level detection plane. The control module connects to the driving unit, the pusher and the three optical sensors.

A robotic carcass processing system uses a pair of robotic arms having multiple axes of motion, a saw mounted thereon, and a controller. The controller moves the saw in Cartesian space via inverse kinematics with interpolation control over the multiple axes of the robotic arm to synchronously move the saw relative to a carcass on an assembly line. The controller also determines when one of the robotic arms has moved its saw out of a defined space to indicate that space is clear and to permit the other robotic arm to enter that space. A sensor on the assembly line identifies location of the absence of a supported carcass, a supported carcass that requires special handling, or weight or length of a carcass. The controller sends a signal to the robotic arms to either effect a standard cut or to modify the standard cut at the identified location or carcass.

The present invention relates to an automatic feeder and a feeding pipe thereof. A feeding pipe (1) discharges a feed when a pig gnaws a gnawing block (12) thereon, and when the gnawing block (12) is gnawed, a pressure sensor (14) is triggered; a hopper (2) is configured to be filled with a dry feed material; one end of a spiral conveyor (3) is connected with a motor (4), the other end of the spiral conveyor is located in the feeding pipe (1), and the spiral conveyor (3) is configured to convey the dry feed material in the hopper (2) to the feeding pipe (1); the motor (4) provides power for rotation of the spiral conveyor (3); a water supply pipeline (5) provides water for the dry feed material in the feeding pipe (1) for feed mixing; and after receiving a triggering signal of the pressure sensor (14), a control unit (7) controls the motor (4) to be powered on and the water supply pipeline (5) to be opened simultaneously, and when not receiving the triggering signal of the pressure sensor (14), the control unit (7) controls the motor (4) to be powered off and the water supply pipeline (5) to be closed.

Disclosed is a feeder. The feeder includes a transfer housing having an opening; a transfer portion rotatable within the transfer housing; a first gear transmitting power to the transfer portion; a motor providing power to the first gear; a second gear receiving power from the motor; and a feeding head which is adjacent to the opening of the transfer housing, and moves by a power transmitted by the second gear, wherein when the motor provides rotational power in a first direction, the feeding head moves, and, when the motor provides rotational power in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the movement of the feeding head stops and the transfer portion rotates.

A device for extracting food from a tank of an animal feeder where it is designed to be fastened. The device includes an opening, which in turn includes a frame, formed by a U-shaped sheet that has a hole located in each wing of the U-shape, and a food extracting mechanism that is fastened to the frame with the ability to rotate. The food extracting mechanism includes a trap door joined to a tube to house a shaft that is fastened to the frame through the holes.
