Game feeder
A game feeder having a recessed game feed spinner plate, which discharges game feed through a relatively narrow opening. The spinner plate is rotated by an electric motor, which is housed in a protective enclosure within the game feeder, along with the battery and timer, and protected from animals. The narrow discharge opening minimizes feed loss by animals accessing the spinner plate. The game feeder may sit on the ground, or may be mounted on a support such as a pole or tree with mounting hooks and a bracket, and when mounted is especially resistant to feed loss or feeder damage by bears, feral hogs and the like.
PET FEEDING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING AND OPENING CAPSULES
A pet feeding device (10) and method for supplying and opening filled containers (12) are presented, wherein a lid of a container being opened and/or folded back in a direction opposite to the opening direction is biased in a direction opposite to the opening direction.
Automatic feeding device
An automatic feeding device includes an accommodating container, a transmission channel, a valve unit, a sensor and an ejection unit. The transmission channel is disposed on bottom of the accommodating container. The transmission channel has an inlet portion, a central portion and an outlet portion. The central portion is between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The valve unit is disposed on the bottom of the accommodating container and adjacent to the inlet portion. The valve unit is switchable to allow feed inside the accommodating container for passing the inlet portion and entering the transmission channel. The sensor is disposed on the inlet portion and detects whether the feed passes the inlet portion, and further outputs a control command to switch modes of the valve unit. The ejection unit is disposed on the central portion and used to push the feed inside the transmission channel toward the outlet portion.
LIGHTED PIG FEED DISPERSAL APPARATUS
A lighted pig feed dispersal apparatus having a frame, a platform, a feeder assembly, a feeder light, a solar panel, a battery, four motion sensor lights, four arm supports, and four extension arms. The frame has four legs, each of which has a distal end and a proximal end, and the proximal end of each leg is attached to the platform. The feeder assembly is situated in a center of the platform. The feeder assembly includes a barrel, and the feeder light is situated underneath the barrel. The solar panel is configured to power the feeder light, and the battery is situated inside of a top part of the barrel. The motion sensor lights extend outwardly from the top part of the barrel. The four arm supports that extend outwardly from a side wall of the barrel and are disposed about a perimeter of the top pan of the barrel. The four extension arms are configured to slide onto the four arm supports.
AUTOMATIC FEEDING DEVICE
An automatic feeding device includes an accommodating container, a transmission channel, a valve unit, a sensor and an ejection unit. The transmission channel is disposed on bottom of the accommodating container. The transmission channel has an inlet portion, a central portion and an outlet portion. The central portion is between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The valve unit is disposed on the bottom of the accommodating container and adjacent to the inlet portion. The valve unit is switchable to allow feed inside the accommodating container for passing the inlet portion and entering the transmission channel. The sensor is disposed on the inlet portion and detects whether the feed passes the inlet portion, and further outputs a control command to switch modes of the valve unit. The ejection unit is disposed on the central portion and used to push the feed inside the transmission channel toward the outlet portion.
AUTOMATED FOOD DISPENSER
A feeder including: a) a base portion having a serving area; b) a chamber portion supported by the base portion and configured to retain a granular material within a chamber interior; c) a dispenser configured to segregate a portion of the granular material from the chamber interior and transfer the portion of the granular material from the chamber portion to the serving area, wherein the dispenser includes: i) a rocker body; and ii) one or more fins projecting from the rocker body; and wherein the feeder includes one or more of: i) the fin(s) are flexible; ii) sensing device(s) part of a sensing tower configured to sense the presence, distance, and/or amount of the granular material within the chamber portion; and/or iii) sensing device(s) configured to sense the presence, distance, and/or amount of the granular material within the serving area.
SMART PET FEEDER
The present disclosure discloses a smart pet feeder, motor drives the rotating mechanism to rotate, and the rotating mechanism quantitatively pushes the pet food in the support into a sliding chute, and the pet food falls into the food bowl through the sliding chute, which effectively achieves smart quantitative feeding of pets in either an automatic manner or a manual manner.
Apparatus and method for delivering feed supplement
The invention is a dispensing module for use in delivering measured doses of feed supplement to an animal. It comprises a storage container for holding the supplement and a metering module that is rotatably connected to the storage container for dispensing a measured (pre-determined) dose of the supplement. The dispensing module is adapted to be moved between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the measured dose of the supplement is able to be dispensed out of the dispensing module. In the closed configuration, the measured dose of the supplement is prevented from being dispensed out of the dispensing module. Compressed air can be used to send the dose to an outlet when the dispensing module is closed.
Object supplying assembly, object casting assembly and operation method of object distribution system
An object supplying assembly includes a storage tank having first and second spaces communicating with each other, a rotating member disposed in the second space and including a recess, a driving module, and a partition board including a partition opening misaligned with the first space. An object can enter the recess from the first space. The rotating member rotates, the object is brought by the rotating member and turns around with the recess. When the recess is aligned with a position of the partition opening, the object is allowed to drop and pass through the partition opening. An object casting assembly includes a housing, an impeller rotatably disposed within the housing and including a plurality of blades, and a driver. Accommodating portions are formed among the blades. When the impeller is driven by the driver and rotates, the accommodating portions face a casting opening of the housing by turns.
Multifunctional intelligent breeding and rearing system
Disclosed is a multifunctional intelligent breeding and rearing system. Functional modules such as a radio-frequency ear tag and identification device, a central controller (1), an isolation and dislodging device (2), a multifunctional feeding trough (3), an automatic feeding device (4), a quantitative water supply device, a feeding trough automatic flushing and a remaining feed detection are utilized to form a basic automatic feeding unit. Through the feeding unit, an identity and eating information of a pig is identified; for a pig that does not eat during a feeding time period, feed and water are injected into a feeding trough simultaneously according to a feed amount and a mixing ratio preset by the system, for precise feeding; a pig that has eaten up is dislodged in real time; and the feeding trough is automatically flushed at an end of feeding. The system realizes automatic and intelligent feeding of a livestock.
