Abstract
A mechanism for feeding animals with liquid feed that can be withdrawn from a supply unit, such as an automatic soaking unit, and can be supplied to a suction unit via a conduit. A feed pump is placed in the conduit, with the conveying capacity of the feed pump being regulatable as a function of vacuum in the conduit.
Claims11
A mechanism for feeding animals with liquid feed that can be withdrawn from a supply unit and can be supplied to a suction unit via a conduit, with said mechanism further comprising:
- a feed pump disposed in said conduit for conveying a variable volume of said feed;
- and
- means for regulating the conveying capacity of said feed pump so that conveyed volume of said liquid feed is controlled and variable as dependent upon and as a function of any vacuum prevailing in said conduit.
A mechanism for feeding animals with liquid feed that can be withdrawn from a supply unit and can be supplied to a suction unit via a conduit, with said mechanism further comprising:
- a feed pump disposed in said conduit for said feed;
- and
- means for regulating the conveying capacity of said feed pump as a function of any vacuum prevailing in said conduit, said means for regulating said feed pump comprises:
- a sensor associated with said conduit for sensing any vacuum in the latter and for emitting control signals in conformity therewith;
- and a control unit that is connected to said sensor for evaluating control signals therefrom, with said control unit also being connected to said feed pump to effect regulation thereof.
