Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of breeding facilities, in particular to a dynamic feeding device for improving the utilization rate of pig feed. Background Art

[0002] In the current pig farming industry, feed cost is one of the main expenses of pig farm operations, so improving feed utilization has become a key link in reducing production costs and improving economic benefits. However, existing feeding devices and technologies still have many defects in practical applications.

[0003] Serious feed waste: Traditional feeding troughs and feeding methods, such as feeding troughs and manual feeding, often have problems such as feed spillage and residue, resulting in a large amount of feed waste. This not only increases feed costs, but also pollutes the pig house environment and increases the difficulty and cost of cleaning.

[0004] Poor feeding effect: Due to unreasonable feeding trough design and feeding methods, pigs are prone to "uneven hunger and fullness" and fierce competition during feeding, resulting in malnutrition for some pigs and overweight for some pigs, affecting the overall growth rate and health status.

[0005] Inaccurate feed management: Existing feeding systems are often unable to make dynamic adjustments based on the pigs’ growth stage, health status, and nutritional needs, resulting in inaccurate feed delivery, affecting feed utilization and pig growth results.

[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for a new type of dynamic feeding device that can improve pig feed utilization and provide an effective solution to the defects of the existing technology. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a dynamic feeding device for improving the utilization rate of pig feed, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] A dynamic feeding device for improving the utilization rate of pig feed comprises a feeding table, wherein fences are installed on the front side and the left and right sides of the feeding table, and an opening that can only allow one pig to pass through is arranged on the rear side of the fence; a trough monitoring scale and a weight monitoring scale are installed on the upper surface of the feeding table, a trough is placed above the trough monitoring scale, and an automatic feed supply device, a camera, a driving device and an individual identification device are installed around the top of the trough, the trough monitoring scale, the weight monitoring scale, the camera and the individual identification device unidirectionally input data signals to a control center, and the control center unidirectionally inputs control signals to the automatic feed supply device and the driving device.

[0010] Furthermore, the automatic feed supply device includes a feed frame, a feed conveyor and a discharge port, the feed frame is fixedly installed on the outside of the front fence, the discharge port is located directly above the trough, the feed conveyor connects the feed frame and the discharge port, a feed roller is rotatably connected in the feed conveyor, the roller shaft of the feed roller is connected to a motor drive fixedly installed on the outside of the feed conveyor, the circumferential outer surface of the feed roller is tightly attached to the inner wall of the feed conveyor, and the feed receiving troughs are evenly distributed radially on the feed roller.

[0011] Furthermore, the material frame is fixedly mounted on the frame, the frame is fixedly connected to the side panels, the side panels are fixedly mounted on the fence, and a pressure sensor is installed between the frame and the material frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the individual identification device is a RIFD electronic reader, which is used in conjunction with an electronic tag, and the electronic tag is worn on an individual pig.

[0013] Furthermore, a corner of the electronic tag is connected with a hanging ring, and the hanging ring is passed through the pig's ear.

[0014] Furthermore, the driving device is a buzzer or a strobe or a buzzer strobe.

[0015] Furthermore, a feed dumping slope is provided at one end of the trough directly below the discharge port, and the discharge port is close to the feed dumping slope.

[0016] Furthermore, a feed clearing device is provided in the trough for regularly clearing the feed in the trough.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 A dynamic feeding device for improving the utilization rate of pig feed includes a feeding table 1, a fence 2 is installed on the front side and the left and right sides of the feeding table 1, an opening that can only allow one pig to pass through is arranged on the rear side of the fence 2, a trough monitoring scale 4 and a weight monitoring scale 3 are installed on the upper surface of the feeding table 1, a trough 5 is placed above the trough monitoring scale 4, and an automatic feed supply device 7, a camera 16, a driving device 18 and an individual identification device 19 are installed around the top of the trough 5. The trough monitoring scale 4, the weight monitoring scale 3, the camera 16 and the individual identification device 19 input data signals to the control center in a unidirectional manner, and the control center inputs control signals to the automatic feed supply device 7 and the driving device 18 in a unidirectional manner.

[0036] Working principle of this embodiment:

[0037] Before the pigs enter the feeding table 1, the individual identification device 19 is used to identify each pig, and the specific location and identity of the pigs are confirmed in combination with the video analysis of the camera 16. The design of the fence 2 ensures that only one pig can enter the feeding area through the opening at a time, effectively avoiding competition among the pigs. After the pigs enter the feeding area, they stand on the weight monitoring scale 3, and the system automatically records their weight information. According to the weight, growth stage and historical data of the pigs, the control center evaluates their current nutritional needs through the built-in algorithm, providing a basis for accurate feeding.

[0038] The trough monitoring scale 4 monitors the remaining amount of feed in the trough 5 in real time. When the amount of feed is lower than the preset threshold, or according to the nutritional needs assessment results of the pigs, the control center sends a control signal to the automatic feed supply device 7 to automatically add an appropriate amount of feed to the trough. This process ensures the timeliness and accuracy of feed supply and reduces feed waste. The camera 16 monitors the feeding process throughout to ensure that the pigs eat safely. If the pigs eat at an abnormal speed, stay too long or other abnormal conditions occur, the control center can start the driving device 18 to gently drive the pigs away through sound, light or other non-contact methods to promote their normal feeding and avoid occupying the trough for a long time and causing other pigs to starve.

[0039] All collected data, including body weight, feed consumption, feeding behavior, etc., are recorded in real time and transmitted to the control center. The control center conducts comprehensive analysis of these data, continuously optimizes feeding strategies, and improves overall feed utilization and pig growth efficiency.

[0040] This embodiment significantly reduces waste such as feed spillage and residue through precise feeding and real-time monitoring of the remaining amount in the trough, thus saving feed costs. Individual identification and weight monitoring ensure that each pig can obtain the right amount of feed according to its actual nutritional needs, avoiding "uneven hunger and fullness" and fierce competition, and improving the overall growth rate and health of pigs. Automated control and data analysis technology make feed management more scientific and efficient, and can be dynamically adjusted according to the growth stage, health status and nutritional needs of pigs, significantly improving feed utilization. By improving feed utilization and pig growth efficiency, production costs are directly reduced and the overall economic benefits of the pig farm are improved.

[0041] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 A dynamic feeding device for improving pig feed utilization rate is different from Example 1 in that the automatic feed supply device 7 includes a feed frame 10, a feed conveyor 11 and a discharge port 12. The feed frame 10 is fixedly installed on the outside of the front fence 2, and the discharge port 12 is located directly above the trough 5. The feed conveyor 11 connects the feed frame 10 and the discharge port 12. A feed roller 15 is rotatably connected in the feed conveyor 11. The roller shaft 14 of the feed roller 15 is driven and connected to a motor 13 fixedly installed on the outside of the feed conveyor 11. The outer surface of the circumference of the feed roller 15 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the feed conveyor 11, and the feed receiving troughs are evenly distributed radially on the feed roller 15.

[0042] The material frame 10 is fixedly mounted on the frame 9 , the frame 9 is fixedly connected to the side plate 8 , the side plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the fence 2 , and a pressure sensor is installed between the frame 9 and the material frame 10 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the feed is stored in the feed frame 10. When feeding is needed, the motor 13 is started. The motor 13 drives the roller shaft 14 to rotate, and then drives the feed roller 15 to rotate in the feed channel 11. The receiving trough on the feed roller 15 scoops up the feed in the feed frame 10 as it rotates, and transports it to the discharge port 12 along the feed channel 11. The feed falls into the trough 5 from the discharge port 12, realizing automatic feeding. At the same time, the pressure sensor monitors the remaining amount of feed in the feed frame 10. When it is lower than the set value, it sends a signal to the control center to prompt the replenishment of feed.

[0044] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 3 and 6 , a dynamic feeding device for improving pig feed utilization, which differs from Example 1 in that the individual identification device 19 is a RIFD electronic reader, which is used in conjunction with an electronic tag 20, and the electronic tag 20 is worn on the individual pig.

[0045] A hanging ring 21 is connected to one corner of the electronic tag 20, and the hanging ring 21 is inserted into the pig's ear.

[0046] In this embodiment, each pig is equipped with an electronic tag 20, which is securely mounted on the pig's ear via a hanging ring 21, ensuring the unique correspondence between the tag and the pig.

[0047] When the pig enters the feeding area, the electronic tag 20 is identified by the RFID electronic reader and the pig identity information stored in it is read. The RFID electronic reader transmits the read information to the control center, which identifies the pig based on this information and performs subsequent feeding management and monitoring based on its data records. This process realizes the rapid and contactless identification of pigs, providing an important basis for accurate feeding and management.

[0048] Example 4: Please refer to Figure 4 , a dynamic feeding device for improving pig feed utilization, which is different from Example 1 in that the driving device 18 is a buzzer or a strobe or a buzzer strobe.

[0049] In this embodiment, the driving device 18 is a buzzer or a strobe or a buzzer strobe, which has a good driving effect and is harmless.

[0050] Example 5: Please refer to Fig.10 A dynamic feeding device for improving pig feed utilization rate is provided. The difference from Example 2 is that a feed dumping slope 6 is provided at one end of the trough 5 directly below the discharge port 12, and the discharge port 12 is close to the feed dumping slope 6.

[0051] A feed clearing device is provided in the trough 5 for clearing the feed in the trough 5 at regular intervals.

[0052] In this embodiment, the discharge port 12 is close to the feed dumping slope 6 to prevent the feed from being scattered, and the dumping slope 6 guides the feed to the right side of the trough 5, which is convenient for the pigs to eat. A cleaning device is provided in the trough 5 to remove the feed and prevent the feed from deteriorating.

[0053] Example 6: Please refer to Figure 2 , a dynamic feeding device for improving pig feed utilization, which differs from Example 1 in that a camera 16 is fixedly mounted on a fence 2 via an L-shaped base 17 , and the camera 16 faces a trough 5 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the L-shaped base 17 makes the camera 16 face the direction of the food trough 5.
