When the sow enters the cage body 2, the first door 10 is locked. After nursing is completed, the second door 11 is opened to drive the sow out of the cage body 2.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting plate 5 is located in the middle of the bottom end of the belly support mold 3, and a plurality of nipples 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 5; During the nursing process, piglets eat on both sides of the connecting plate 5 respectively. The connecting plate 5 can effectively block the piglets on both sides, enabling the piglets to suck the two rows of nipples on the belly of the sow or the nipples 6 on both sides of the connecting plate 5 synchronously, making full use of the space. Multiple piglets can be nursed synchronously at one time, avoiding batch-by-batch interval feeding of piglets, effectively shortening the nursing time of piglets, and improving the piglet nursing efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, a plurality of evenly distributed partition plates 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 5, and an independent nursing area is formed between every two adjacent connecting plates 5; Further, only one piglet can be accommodated in the independent nursing area; The adjacent piglets can be blocked by the partition plates 12 to avoid mutual food grabbing interference between the piglets and ensure stable feeding of the piglets.

[0032] Specifically, two support plates 13 are slidably installed at the mounting opening of the base plate 1, and a second telescopic cylinder 14 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 1 to provide power for the sliding of the support plates 13; further, the two support plates 13 are respectively slidably arranged to the side away from the center of the base plate 1, one end of the second telescopic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1, and the other end of the second telescopic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the support plate 13; in the initial state, the two support plates 13 are in a closed state and the mounting opening is blocked to prevent the legs of the sow from being trapped in the mounting opening when the sow enters the cage body 2. After the sow completely enters the cage body 2, the sow's front legs and hind legs are respectively located on both sides of the mounting opening. At this time, the second telescopic cylinder 14 drives the push plate to move to the side away from the middle of the base plate 1 until the two support plates 13 are completely separated from the mounting opening and exposed, providing operating space for the lifting of the limited feeding component.

The driving-away members include mounting columns 21 and needle-like parts 22 evenly distributed on the tops of the mounting columns 21. The pedal 18 is provided with through holes 23 respectively communicating with each independent nursing area. The mounting columns 21 pass through the corresponding through holes 23 and extend into the corresponding independent nursing areas. When the feeding time limit is reached, the output end of the third telescopic cylinder 19 shortens, and the mounting plate 20 drives the plurality of driving-away members to move upward until the needle-like parts 22 at the tops of the mounting columns 21 contact the lower part of the piglets' necks. After the piglets' necks feel pain, they are driven away. There is no need for manual driving-away, and the feeding time of the piglets can be controlled to avoid overfeeding of the piglets.

[0037] Specifically, the cage body 2 is provided with an opening 24 allowing piglets to enter and exit. The opening 24 is arranged corresponding to the support plate 13, and the support plate 13 is provided with symmetrically arranged fence frames 25. The fences can prevent piglets from falling at the support plate 13. The piglets enter the cage body 2 through the opening 24 and respectively enter the corresponding independent nursing areas.

[0038] Specifically, the partition plate 12 is a V-shaped plate. The tip of the V-shaped plate is located on the side away from the connecting plate 5, and the tip of the V-shaped plate is provided with a rounded corner 26. With the above setting, the independent nursing areas can be V-shaped, enabling the piglets to be smoothly guided to the corresponding nipples 6 or sows' teats, facilitating the piglets to feed. The tip of the V-shaped plate is provided with a rounded corner 26 to avoid damaging the piglets.

[0039] During use, the first shutter 10 is opened, the sow is driven into the cage body 2 and the first shutter 10 is closed. The output ends of the two second telescopic cylinders 14 extend, and the two support plates 13 move away from each other until the mounting openings are completely exposed. At this time, the first telescopic cylinder 4 drives the abdominal support mold 3 to move upward, and the abdominal support mold 3 contacts the abdomen of the sow, while the sow's legs are caught in the catching part 9 of the abdominal support mold 3, and the sow is in a semi-suspended state. The nipples on the sow's abdomen are exposed from the through opening 8. At this time, the top surface of the pedal 18 is flush with the top surface of the bottom plate 1. The piglets are driven into the cage body 2 through the support plate 13 and the opening 24, and each piglet enters the corresponding independent nursing area to feed. When the set feeding duration is reached, the output end of the third telescopic cylinder 19 shortens, and the mounting plate 20 drives the plurality of driving-away members to move upward until the needle-like parts 22 at the tops of the mounting columns 21 contact the lower part of the piglets' necks. After the piglets' necks feel pain, they are driven away. The limit nursing assembly resets, the support plate 13 resets and closes, the second shutter 11 is opened, and the sow is driven out of the cage body 2 to complete the piglet nursing operation.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
