  The floor conveyor 21 is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom 31 of the silage tank 2 and is configured to convey the silage 8 in the front direction of the silage tank 2.

  Moreover, the said mixed feed tank part 3 consists of several feed cases 41, 41 ... arrange | positioned by the front side part 32 of the silage tank 2, and is comprised so that a feed with a different kind can be supplied.

  Further, the traveling unit 7 fixes the wheels 42, 42... Rolling on the rail 6 and bearings (not shown), shafts, motors, drive transmission devices, position detection sensors, charging / signal transmission / reception brackets, and the like that support them. A fixing plate 43 is provided and is connected to a hanging tool 38.

  In the silage tank 2, the beater unit 22 is arranged in two stages in the vertical direction above the end portion of the floor conveyor 21, and two beaters 44 that scrape the silage 8 conveyed by the floor conveyor 21. , 44...

  The beater 44 is radially and axially disposed on the cylindrical drum 45 shown in FIG. 3 rotatably supported on the left and right side portions 34 and 35 of the silage tank 2 and on the outer periphery of the drum 45. One or more extending and standing apart from each other, preferably two plates 46, 46 arranged at a distance of approximately 180 degrees from each other, and the outer periphery of the drum 45, radially from the plate 46 Are arranged in a direction appropriate to the plate 46 without interfering with the plate 46, and are arranged in a spiral shape of about two rotations on the outer periphery of the drum 45. It has strip plate-like spokes 47, 47. That is, the spoke 47 is formed so that the rotational outer diameter of the spoke 47 is larger than the rotational outer diameter of the plate 46. The shape of the spokes 47 is not limited to a strip shape, and may be formed in various other shapes, and in that case, the same effect can be expected.

  The discharge unit 25 shown in FIG. 2 is installed at the lower end of the silage tank 2 below the bait drop port 36, is provided with a discharge conveyor 51, and the silage 8 dropped from the bait drop port 36 and the feed are mixed together. The mixed feed 23 is discharged by the conveyor 51 to the cow 24 side. As shown in FIG. 4, load cells 52 and 52 for measuring the weight of the mixed feed 23 are disposed in the discharge unit 25 at the upper left and right sides of the discharge unit 25.

  Thus, the operation of the automatic feeding device 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, when the feeding device body 4 is at the start position on the rail 6, the silage is cut by a roll cutting machine (not shown). 8 is supplied into the silage tank 2, and one to a plurality of types of mixed feed are supplied to a plurality of feed cases 41, 41... Of the mixed feed tank 3 from a feed supply device (not shown).

The feeding device body 4 is guided by the rail 6 and moved by the traveling unit 7, and sequentially stops at an appropriate position in the place group 5.
When the feeding device main body 4 stops at an appropriate position, the silage 8 supplied into the silage tank 2 is conveyed forward by the floor conveyor 21 as shown in FIG. The silage 8 scraped and scraped off by the part 22 falls from the bait drop opening 36 to the discharge unit 25.

  At this time, as described above, the beater unit 22 includes the two beaters 44 and 44 arranged in two stages in the vertical direction above the end portion of the floor conveyor 21, so that the beater unit 22 is conveyed by the floor conveyor 21. Highly loaded silage 8 can be scraped out efficiently by the two beaters 44,44.

  The beater 44 is provided with a plurality of spokes 47, 47... That are arranged on the outer periphery of the drum 45 so as to be radially higher than the plate 46 and spirally disposed on the outer periphery of the drum 45. Therefore, the silage 8 can be scraped out efficiently by the spokes 47, 47.

  More specifically, the silage 8 is scraped out by the tip of the spoke 47, and the silage 8 hardly reaches the drum 45 because the silage 8 does not reach the drum 45 lower than the height of the spoke 47. Further, since the spokes 47 are arranged in a spiral shape, there is a sufficient space in the front-rear direction of the rotation direction of the spokes 47, so that a sufficient amount of silage 8 can be captured by one spoke 47. At the same time, since the spokes 47 are arranged so as to be shifted in the axial direction, when the silage 8 is in contact with the beater 44, any of the spokes 47 can always catch the silage 8 while the beater 44 is rotating, and the silage 8 can be smoothly ejected (discharged).

Furthermore, since the spokes 47 stand radially with respect to the rotation axis and are not arranged at an angle inclined in the rotation direction like the claws of Patent Document 1, the silage 8 is not easily entangled with the spokes 47 themselves.
Even when the silage 8 is entangled with the beater 44, the spoke 47 having an appropriate height is not buried in the silage 8, and the scraping ability is not lost.

  On the other hand, one to a plurality of kinds of mixed feeds are supplied from the feed cases 41, 41... Of the mixed feed tank 3 and fall to the discharge unit 25 from the feed drop port 36, and the mixed feed and the silage 8 are mixed. The mixed feed 23 is loaded on the discharge conveyor 51 of the discharge unit 25, and the weight is measured by the load cells 52, 52. When the weight reaches a predetermined weight, the mixed feed 23 is discharged to the cow 24 side by the discharge conveyor 51.

When this series of operations is completed, the feeding device main body 4 is guided to the rail 6 by the traveling unit 7 and moves to the next stop position of the place group 5.
In addition, you may perform the operation | work by the said floor conveyor 21, the beater part 22, and the feed supply operation | work from the feed cases 41 and 41 during the movement of the feeding apparatus main body 4. FIG.

  FIG. 5 shows a method of removing the silage 8 when the silage 8 is entangled with the drum 45 of the beater 44. When the silage 8 is entangled with the drum 45, the silage 8 is also entangled with the plate 46 and in the vicinity of the plate 46. In this case, the silage 8 is lifted from the drum 45 by the plate 46, and a gap is generated between the silage 8 and the drum 45.

  Therefore, when the beater 44 is stopped and the silage 8 near the plate 46 is cut along the plate 46 using the cutter 61, the floating silage 8 is easily and completely cut, and the tangled silage 8 can be easily removed. Can be removed.

Thus, the automatic feeding device 1 can reduce the entanglement of the long silage 8 by the spokes 47, and the entangled silage 8 is floated from the drum 45 by the plate 46, and the cutter 61 etc. Since it can be easily cut, the silage 8 entangled with the beater 44 can be easily removed.
Moreover, since the entanglement of the silage 8 is reduced, the work for removing the entangled silage 8 is also reduced, and the work efficiency can be remarkably improved.

  Further, since the plate 46 of the automatic feeding device 1 is two plates disposed on the outer periphery of the drum 45 so as to be separated from each other by about 180 degrees, the configuration is simple and inexpensive, and the drum 45 The silage entangled in can be easily cut and removed along one of the two plates 46, 46 with a cutter 61 or the like.

  Furthermore, since the beater unit 22 of the automatic feeding apparatus 1 includes two beaters 44 and 44 arranged in two stages in the vertical direction, the two beaters 44 and 44 can efficiently carry silage loaded high. Can scrape well.

In FIG. 6, 71 shows another feeding apparatus main body, and the feeding apparatus main body 71 is replaced with a beater portion (22 in FIG. 2) of the feeding apparatus main body (4 in FIG. 2).
