    [0002] ANIMAL FEEDING DEVICE
    [0003]
    [0004] TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention is encompassed in the field of the agricultural sector. Specifically, with an animal feeding device that employs a conveyor belt where food is deposited, supported and transported for consumption by animals.
    [0007]
    [0008] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0009]
    [0010] From patent document GB1460035 a poultry feeding device is known which comprises a conveyor belt extended along a row of cages or through an enclosure, which is adapted to transport food in its upper part. The conveyor belt is designed as an endless belt, that is, it is continuously moved as a "loop" between two rollers, where, one of them is a driving roller, and the other is arranged at the other end of the device, away from the drive roller.
    [0011]
    [0012] Likewise, utility model document CN203912890 shows another animal feeding device of the conveyor belt type, for example, for livestock rearing. As in the previous case, the feeding conveyor belt used is of the endless belt type developing a continuous movement, generated by a first roller coupled to a motor, which moves the food deposited on said belt to a second roller in which there is cleaning means of the conveyor belt.
    [0013]
    [0014] In both known solutions, conveyor belts of the endless belt type are used, which implies that said conveyor belt continuously performs cycles consisting of a forward path along the top, supporting and transporting food, and a return path at the bottom, which requires a certain lower space, below the part of the tape conveyor that makes the outward path, to accommodate both the rollers and the part of the belt that makes the return path.
    [0015]
    [0016] This has the disadvantage that in this area of the device is generated accumulations of dirt and food residues that fall from the part of the belt that makes the outward path, which attracts cockroaches, rodents or other types of harmful animals and undesirable towards the lower space. Likewise, access to the lower space is difficult to perform maintenance or repair of breaks of the elements of the device contained in said lower space.
    [0017]
    [0018] Another disadvantage of these known solutions that use conveyor belts of the endless belt type is that the amount of food to be deposited and transported on the conveyor belt is limited to the maximum torque that the drive roller is capable of delivering. With this, an overweight of food on the conveyor belt can lead to the breakage of the means that drive the drive roller.
    [0019]
    [0020] For this reason, it is required to design, in a simple and economical way, an animal feeding device that manages to overcome the above disadvantages or disadvantages.
    [0021]
    [0022] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0023]
    [0024] The present invention is established and characterized in the independent claims, while the dependent claims describe other features thereof.
    [0025]
    [0026] The object of the invention is an animal feeding device, of which a conveyor belt suitable for supporting and transporting food is used. The technical problem to solve is how to avoid the need for a lower space below the part of the belt that supports and transports food.
    [0027]
    [0028] The device comprises a conveyor belt arranged tensioned between a first roller and a second roller, where, a first end of the belt conveyor is fixed to the first roller and a second end of said conveyor belt is fixed to the second roller.
    [0029]
    [0030] On the other hand, the rollers are coupled to two driving means, for example, electric motors coupled by individual transmissions to each roller, which are adapted to be driven alternately and produce a winding of the conveyor belt in the first roller or in the second roller respectively.
    [0031]
    [0032] Thus, in the present invention, instead of a conveyor belt of the endless belt type, a belt moved unidirectionally is used each time, that is, in a first sense, for example, of food supply, the belt is moved by winding on the first roller while unrolling the second roller, and then, in a second, pick-up direction, the tape is moved again, but this time, winding on the second roller while unrolling the first roller.
    [0033]
    [0034] This does not require a lower space below the part of the belt that supports and transports food, facilitating the cleaning of the device, especially in the area below the part of the belt that transports and supplies the food to animals, thereby avoiding the presence of unwanted animals, such as cockroaches and mice.
    [0035]
    [0036] Likewise, as the conveyor belt is wound on the first roller in the direction of food transfer and supply, the layers of belt on the first roller are increasing, which allows increasing the pulling torque provided by said first roller to the belt, giving the possibility of transporting and supplying a greater amount of food, without having to overload the driving means that drive the first roller.
    [0037]

    [0050]
    [0051] DETAILED EXHIBITION OF THE INVENTION
    [0052]
    [0053] The present invention is an animal feeding device.
    [0054]
    [0055] As shown in figure 1, the device is one of those comprising a conveyor belt (1), suitable for supporting and transporting food (not shown in the figures), which is arranged tensioned between a first roller (2 ) and a second roller (3).
    [0056]
    [0057] Where, a first end (1.1) of the conveyor belt (1) is fixed to the first roller (2) and a second end (1.2) of the conveyor belt (1) is fixed to the second roller (3).
    [0058]
    [0059] Preferably, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the ends (1.1, 1.2) of the conveyor belt (1) are fixed to the respective rollers (2, 3) by winding each end (1.1, 1.2) in the corresponding roller (2, 3), where, with the overlapping of said ends (1.1, 1.2) of conveyor belt (1) on themselves in the respective rollers (2, 3) it is achieved that they (1.1, 1.2) they are trapped or trapped by layers of the conveyor belt itself (1) against the rollers (2, 3), and with it, that said conveyor belt (1) can be pulled, alternately, in both directions of winding in the respective rollers (2, 3).
    [0060] On the other hand, the rollers (2, 3) are coupled to two driving means (5, 9), for example, electric motors, which could be coupled to each roller (2, 3) by means of two transmissions by chain, belt, etc. (not shown in the figures).
    [0061]
    [0062] In any case, the driving means (5, 9) are adapted to be operated alternately and produce a winding of the conveyor belt (1) on the first roller (2) or on the second roller (3) respectively.
    [0063]
    [0064] Thus, the conveyor belt (1) is moved unidirectionally each time:
    [0065]
    [0066] -In a first direction of transport and food supply, where, when the driving means (5) of the first roller (2) are started, the conveyor belt (1) is moved by winding in said first roller (2) while unrolling of the second roller (3). The driving means (5) of the first roller (2) cease to function once said second roller (3) has deployed the amount of tape (1) necessary for the transport and supply of food.
    [0067]
    [0068] -In a second sense of collection (after the food has been consumed by the animals), where, when the driving means (9) of the second roller (3) are started, the conveyor belt (1) is moved again, but this time, winding on the second roller (3) while unrolling the first roller (2). The driving means (9) of the second roller (3) cease to function once the first roller (2) has deployed the same amount of tape (1) that was deployed by the second roller (3) during the first direction.
    [0069]
    [0070] That is, the operation of the driving means (5, 9) is conditioned by the amount of conveyor belt (1) that needs to be deployed from the second roller (3) for the transport and supply of food along the device, where, the driving means (5) of the first roller (2) will remain functional while the transport and supply of the food is produced, and subsequently, the driving means (9) of the second roller (3) are put into operation until the amount of conveyor belt (1) previously deployed is rewound on said second roller (3).
    [0071] Likewise, it is preferred that the conveyor belt (1) and the rollers (2, 3) are supported on a support structure (4).
    [0072]
    [0073] Preferably, the support structure (4) comprises a longitudinal tray (4.1), where it supports the conveyor belt (1). As shown in figure 1, the longitudinal tray (4.1) is arranged as a bridge between a tractor head (4.2) and a service head (4.3), which contain the first and second rollers (2, 3 ) and their respective driving means (5, 9) respectively.
    [0074]
    [0075] The support structure (4) of the device can comprise a length, for example, of three meters, being able to add, arranged in line, as many devices as the agricultural installation requires.
    [0076]
    [0077] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, it is preferred that the tractor head (4.2) comprises guiding means (8) of the conveyor belt (1) as it is wound, or unrolled, on the first roller (2).
    [0078]
    [0079] The guiding means (8) could be, for example, a pair of facing rollers (8.1, 8.2) facing each other, between which the conveyor belt (1) passes. These guide rollers (8.1, 8.2) could be coupled to side plates (8.3) so that, on them, they can move vertically, so that the height variation generated by the winding or unwinding of the conveyor belt (1) on the first roller (2) affect as little as possible the horizontality of the conveyor belt (1) on the longitudinal tray (4.1).
    [0080]
    [0081] For its part, as shown in Figure 4, it is preferred that the service head (4.3) comprises cleaning means (6) of the conveyor belt (1), which act before the conveyor belt (1) ) roll on the second roller (3).
    [0082]
    [0083] For example, the cleaning means (6) of the conveyor belt (1) can be a set of plastic plate (6.1) and supporting roller (6.2) facing each other, between which the conveyor belt (1) passes. Thus, during the direction of collection of the conveyor belt (1), by means of the plastic plate (6.1), it is possible to detach the food residues adhered to the work surface of the conveyor belt (1), the latter, coiling clean again on the second roller (3).
    [0084]
    [0085] Additionally, as shown in Figure 5, an upper part of the service head (4.3) can form a support tray portion (4.31) for the conveyor belt (1). Likewise, said tray portion (4.31) can be arranged between side plates (4.32) as a "water spout" that prevents food from falling into the inside of the service head (4.3). Preferably, food supply means (not shown in the figures) can be arranged on the tray portion (4.31), which deposit the food on the conveyor belt (1) during its first direction of transport and supply of food.
    [0086]
    [0087] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the first or second roller (2, 3) may comprise lateral alignment means (7) of the conveyor belt (1) in its winding on said first or second roller (2. 3).
    [0088]
    [0089] These lateral alignment means (7), for example, could be used when the conveyor belt (1) has a width of 600 mm or 700 mm. However, in the case of a conveyor belt (1) 800 mm wide, lateral alignment means (7) may not be used.
    [0090]
    [0091] It is preferred that the lateral alignment means (7) be mounted on the first or second roller (2, 3), that is, with the conveyor belt (1) arranged between them.
    [0092]
    [0093] Likewise, it is preferred that the lateral alignment means (7) comprise a disc-shaped inner end (7.1), which forms a lateral stop when the conveyor belt (1) rolls on the first or second roller (2, 3 ), and an outer flange-shaped end (7.2) for fixing to the roller (2, 3).
