Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, in particular to a sow farrowing bed. Background Art

[0002] The sow farrowing crate is specially designed for sows to give birth and feed piglets. It aims to improve the production efficiency of sows, reduce the mortality rate of piglets, and improve the overall hygiene of the pig farm by providing a specific feeding environment. It is an indispensable breeding equipment.

[0003] Different piglets have different body shapes and physiques. Therefore, during the sow's lactation process, small and weak piglets find it difficult to grab the sow's front nipples. The sow's front nipples usually secrete richer and higher-quality milk, which is crucial for small and weak piglets because they need more nutrition to support their growth and development. In contrast, large and strong piglets will compete with small and weak piglets, and strong piglets usually have an advantage in the competition. The existing sow delivery beds are unable to assist small and weak piglets in competition during use, which can easily lead to the failure of small and weak piglets in the competition, affecting the growth of piglets and reducing the overall production efficiency of the pig farm.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The invention blocks nipples at other parts by the longer side of the short arm end of the guide fence, so that the piglets cannot contact other nipple areas except the front nipples. Then the piglets are placed on the ramp board, so that the piglets can move to the bottom of the piglet fence along the ramp board, and the guide fence is used to guide the piglets to suck milk from the nipples at the designated positions, so that the piglets can be arranged in the order of small size and weak physique to large size and strong physique, and the small size and weak physique piglets are assisted to grab the front nipples that secrete more abundant milk and higher quality.

[0015] 2. According to the present invention, after the sow enters the activity pen, the sow walks appropriately to promote blood circulation, enhance muscle strength and help the functioning of the digestive system. Feed is placed in the food bowl, and the sow's natural eating habits are used as a driving force. When the sow approaches the food bowl to eat, its slight pushing action will push the rotating pen to rotate slowly, so that the sow can remain still for a long time. When the sow is unwilling to actively move, the sow can be induced to naturally increase its activity during the eating process in a non-compulsory manner, thereby effectively improving its exercise effect. In addition, the sow's range of activity is fixed and limited, which can effectively prevent direct contact with the external environment, thereby greatly reducing the risk of carrying or spreading external pathogens, which is of great significance for maintaining the overall hygiene of the pig farm, ensuring the health of the pig herd and improving the breeding efficiency.

[0016] 3. The present invention uses the weight of the sow itself as a driving force and a fulcrum to push the bed to move smoothly, so that the sow's body can lie flat and the nipples are exposed from a covered state, providing barrier-free breastfeeding conditions for the piglets, preventing the sow from having to lean on the nursing pen for breastfeeding due to space limitations in the nursing pen, which would hinder the exposure of the nipples and affect the effective sucking of the piglets. When the sow finishes breastfeeding, stands up and leaves the bed, the third spring can drive the bed back to its initial position, which not only realizes the automatic resetting of the bed, but also ensures the cleanliness and orderliness of the environment in the nursing pen, thus preparing for the next breastfeeding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-9 , the present invention provides a technical solution for a sow farrowing bed:

[0029] according to Figure 1-6 As shown, a sow farrowing bed comprises a nursing fence 1, a piglet fence 2, a lying board 202 and a base 305, wherein the number of the nursing fences 1 is two, and the nursing fences 1 and the piglet fences 2 are both fixedly mounted on the surface of the base 305, and the two piglet fences 2 are respectively located on both sides of the nursing fence 1, and a nursing auxiliary mechanism is arranged inside the piglet fence 2, and the nursing auxiliary mechanism comprises a guide fence 203 and a ramp board 204, and a track 201 is fixedly mounted inside the piglet fence 2, and the guide fence 203 is slidably connected to the surface of the track 201, and the nipples in other parts can be blocked by the longer side of the short arm end of the guide fence 203, so that the piglet cannot contact the nipple areas other than the front nipple, and the piglet is guided to suck milk through the nipple at the designated position, and the ramp board 204 is fixedly connected to the inside of the guide fence 203, and the piglet can move to the bottom of the piglet fence 2 along the ramp board 204;

[0030] Among them, the first support shaft 206 and the second support shaft 210 are respectively installed on both sides of the piglet fence 2, one end of the guide fence 203 is fixedly connected to two second pull ropes 209, and a reel 211 is installed on the top of the piglet fence 2. The second pull rope 209 is fixedly connected to the reel 211 and reeled. By rotating the reel 211 to reel the second pull rope 209, the guide fence 203 can be driven to move along the track 201, so that the guide fence 203 moves to the next position corresponding to the nipple, and the arc surface at one end of the reel 211 is fixedly connected to a plurality of ratchet teeth 213, and the plurality of ratchet teeth 21 The cross-sectional shapes of 3 are all right triangles. A support plate 212 is welded on the surface of the piglet pen 2. A support arm 214 is rotatably connected to the surface of the support plate 212. The support arm 214 presses against the ratchet 213 of the right triangle so that the reel 211 can only rotate counterclockwise but not clockwise, thereby preventing the second pull rope 209 from unwinding after winding. A second spring 215 is fixedly connected between the support arm 214 and the support plate 212. The second spring 215 can drive the support arm 214 to always fit the arc surface of the reel 211, thereby improving the support effect of the support arm 214.

[0031] Among them, two connecting blocks 208 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the piglet fence 2, and two first pull ropes 205 are fixedly connected to the surface of the guide fence 203. The two connecting blocks 208 are fixedly connected to the first spring 207. When the support arm 214 is manually separated from the reel 211, the first spring 207 can pull the guide fence 203 to reset, so as to prepare for the next breastfeeding. One end of the first spring 207 is fixedly connected to one end of the first pull rope 205.

[0032] When in use, the sow to be breastfed is safely guided into the nursing pen 1 and lies on the preset lying board 202. The body position of the sow should be adjusted to the most suitable angle for breastfeeding, ensuring that the abdomen is fully in contact with the lying board 202, the breasts are naturally drooping, and the nipples are clearly exposed. Then, the nipples in other parts are blocked by the longer side of the short arm end of the guide pen 203, so that the piglet cannot contact the nipple area other than the front nipples. Then, the piglet is placed on the ramp board 204 so that the piglet can move along the ramp board 204. The guide bar 203 moves to the bottom of the piglet pen 2, and the piglets are guided by the guide bar 203 to suck milk through the nipples at the designated positions, and then the second pull rope 209 is rolled up by rotating the reel 211, so that the guide bar 203 can be driven to move along the track 201, and the guide bar 203 moves to the position of the next corresponding nipple, and the above operations are repeated, so that the piglets can be arranged in the order of small size and weak physique to large size and strong physique, and the small and weak piglets are assisted to grab the nipples at the front of the sow.

[0033] according to Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, corridors 301 are installed at the exits of both ends of the two nursing pens 1, and movable pens 3 are arranged on each of the two corresponding corridors 301. After the sow enters the movable pens 3, the sow walks appropriately to promote blood circulation, enhance muscle strength and help the functioning of the digestive system. The middle part of the movable pens 3 is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft, and three rotating pens 303 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft on the movable pens 3. The rotating pens 303 are provided with gates 304 corresponding to the two corridors 301. The gates 304 and the corridors 301 on the movable pens 3 can realize a seamless transfer process, and guide the sow to safely enter the special movable pens 3 area. A food bowl 302 is fixedly installed on the rotating pens 303, and feed is placed in the food bowl 302. The natural eating habits of the sow are used as the driving force. The slight pushing action will push the rotating pens 303 to rotate slowly, which can induce the sow to naturally increase its activity during the eating process.

[0034] During specific use, by controlling the doors at both ends of the nursing pen 1 and the pen door 304 on the movable pen 3, a seamless transfer process is achieved, and the sow is guided to safely enter the special movable pen 3 area. After the sow enters the movable pen 3, the sow walks appropriately to promote blood circulation, enhance muscle strength and help the functioning of the digestive system. If the sow remains still for a long time and is unwilling to actively move, feed can be placed in the food bowl 302, and the sow's natural eating habits can be used as a driving force. When the sow approaches the food bowl 302 to eat, its slight pushing action will push the rotating pen 303 to rotate slowly, which can induce the sow to naturally increase its activity during the eating process.

[0035] according to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the base 305 is slidably connected to the bed 202, and the weight of the sow itself can push the bed 202 to move smoothly, so that the sow's body can lie flat and the nipples are exposed from the covered state, providing barrier-free breastfeeding conditions for the piglets. The inside of the bed 202 is provided with a lying flat auxiliary mechanism, which includes a support roller 309, a tooth block 310, an upper rack 306 and a lower rack 307. The multiple support rollers 309 are all rotatably connected to the inside of the base 305, and the multiple tooth blocks 310 are all fixedly connected to the arc surface of the support roller 309. The lower surface of the bed 202 is fixedly connected with the upper rack 306. During the movement of the bed 202, the upper rack 306 and the lower rack 307 are mutually staggered through the tooth block 310, so that the third spring 308 can enter a compressed or stretched state according to the moving direction of the bed 202.

[0036] Among them, a moving block 312 is slidably connected inside the base 305, a fixed block 311 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the base 305, and a third spring 308 is fixedly connected between the moving block 312 and the fixed block 311. The third spring 308 drives the bed 202 back to the initial position through elastic restoring force, which not only realizes the automatic resetting of the bed 202, but also prepares for the next breastfeeding. The surface of the moving block 312 is fixedly connected to the lower rack 307, and the upper rack 306 and the lower rack 307 are both engaged with multiple sets of tooth blocks 310.

[0037] In specific use, when the sow has to lean on the nursing crate 1 for breastfeeding due to space limitation of the nursing crate 1, the exposure of the nipples will be hindered, thereby affecting the effective sucking of the piglets. Therefore, when the sow lies down and leans on the nursing crate 1, its back naturally contacts the nursing crate 1, and its body fits tightly against the bed 202. At this time, the weight of the sow itself serves as a driving force and a fulcrum to push the bed 202 to move smoothly, so that the sow's body can lie flat and the nipples are exposed from the covered state, providing barrier-free breastfeeding conditions for the piglets. During the process, the upper rack 306 and the lower rack 307 realize mutual staggered movement through the tooth block 310, and the third spring 308 enters a compressed or stretched state according to the moving direction of the bed 202. When the sow finishes breastfeeding, stands up and leaves the bed 202, the previously compressed or stretched third spring 308 drives the bed 202 to move in the opposite direction through the elastic restoring force until it returns to the initial position, which not only realizes the automatic resetting of the bed 202, but also ensures the cleanliness and orderliness of the environment in the nursing pen 1, preparing for the next breastfeeding.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
