2. Description of the Related Art Feed feeding equipment continuously discharges feed to a feed receiving portion provided continuously along a traveling path of a moving body, and a plurality of feeds are provided at any position of the feed receiving portion. Although it is configured to be able to feed a required amount of feed to each of the livestock, conventionally, while the operator adjusts the traveling speed of the moving body, the feed receiving portion provided along the traveling route. The feed is continuously discharged (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 54-11883).

[0003]

According to the conventional feeding equipment described above, the feed is discharged to the feed receiving section while the operator adjusts the traveling speed of the moving body, so that the amount of the feed supplied to the storage section can be reduced. The amount of feed discharged to the feed receiving unit is likely to be excessive or insufficient, and the traveling speed of the mobile unit is too high compared to the amount of feed discharged per unit time by the discharging means. If the amount of feed discharged to the feed receiving unit is relatively small, there is a risk that the remaining feed in the storage unit will be fed at the next feeding, and compared to the amount of feed discharged per unit time by the discharging means, If the running speed is too slow and the amount of feed discharged to the feed receiving unit is larger than the amount of feed supplied to the storage unit, the feed cannot be discharged to a part of the feed receiving unit, and the insufficient feed Must be additionally supplied to the storage unit. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to efficiently supply fresh feed over the entire length of a feed receiving portion.

[0004]

Therefore, fresh feed can be efficiently fed over the entire length of the feed receiving portion.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the feeding facility, the feeding means includes
The storage unit is configured to separately supply a plurality of types of feed to the storage unit, and the storage unit is provided with a mixing unit that mixes the plurality of types of feed separately supplied to the storage unit. Can be used as a space for mixing multiple types of feed,
When mixing and feeding a plurality of types of feed, it is not necessary to provide a space for mixing the feed separately from the storage unit, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the size of the feeding facility.

Detected as the supply amount, and the discharge amount detection means is configured to detect the decrease in the weight detected by the weight detection means as the discharge amount of the feed, so that it corresponds to each of the supply amount detection means and the discharge amount detection means. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a weighing means separately, and the weighing structure can be simplified.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the weight of the feed mounted on the moving body is supported by three supporting portions arranged at three corners of the triangle in plan view, and the weight detecting means is provided. Since it is configured by providing three weight sensors for separately detecting the supporting weight of each of the supporting portions arranged at three places, for example, the running posture of the moving body has irregularities due to unevenness on the running surface. Also, compared to the case where four or more weight sensors for separately detecting the supporting weight at each of the four or more support portions are provided, the fluctuation of the detection value by each weight sensor is small, and the It is possible to stably detect the weight of the feed that has been used.
