Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a sow water supply management system, and more specifically, to a sow water supply management system that supplies water to a feeder while supplying feed, and supplies water by operating a feeding operation unit, so that there is no need to install a separate water supply operation unit, thereby reducing production costs and facilitating maintenance. Background Art

[0002] So far, water has been mainly supplied through water spouts, but because pigs like to play with water spouts, especially in summer, because the water spouts flow out cool water, pigs often bite the water spouts and sit still for a long time.

[0003] In this case, the sow's bowl will be filled with water, and the remaining feed will be soaked in water and cannot be eaten. The new feed will also be soaked in water once it is added.

[0004] This causes feed to be lost and wastewater to increase. If the pigs cannot ingest the feed that falls into the water and cannot eat the feed they are supposed to eat, the sows will not produce milk and will become weak.

[0005] Therefore, if water is not controlled in summer, farm losses will increase.

[0006] As an example of the existing patent technology, an automatic feed plate water supply device is disclosed in patent registration publication No. 10-1201545, which is characterized in that feed is supplied from a feed storage device to a feed box 20 at the upper part of the feeder through an upper supply pipe 11, and after receiving the feed from the upper feed box 20 and supplying it to the lowermost feed plate 30, a water supply pipe 80 is installed at the upper part of the feed plate as a separate pipeline so that water is supplied together with the feed. As an automatic feed plate water supply device, a drinking water nozzle 90 is provided at the end of the water supply pipe 80, and a water level sensor 43 is installed at the upper part of the feed plate 30. If the water level in the feed plate 30 is lower than a predetermined water level, the water level sensor 43 detects this and transmits a signal to the control unit to open the water supply to the feed plate 30. The electric valve for supplying water to the water pipe 80, therefore, when the pig moves the switch cock protruding from the lower part of the water spout 90 with its mouth, water flows out of the water spout 90, when the water in the supply plate 30 reaches a predetermined water level, this is detected by the water level sensor 43, and a signal is transmitted to the control unit to close the electric valve for supplying water to the water supply pipe 80, so that even if the pig moves the cock for opening and closing the water spout 90, no water will flow out of the water spout 90 to prevent water loss, the water level sensor 43 is an electrode, when the water in the supply plate 30 falls from the bottom of the electrode, the control unit detects this and opens the electric valve for supplying water to the water supply pipe 80, when the water from the supply plate 30 contacts the lower part of the electrode, the control unit detects this and closes the electric valve for supplying water to the water supply pipe 80.

[0007] In addition, Registration No. 10-1277593 discloses a method of supplying water to an automatic feed plate.

[0008] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the feed supplying operation unit and the water supplying operation unit are both installed in the hopper and operated separately, so the manufacturing cost is high and failures are prone to occur. Summary of the invention

[0009] Technical issues to be solved

[0010] The present invention is proposed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a sow water supply management system that supplies water to a feeder while supplying feed, and supplies water by operating a feeding operation unit, so that there is no need to install a separate water supply operation unit, thereby reducing production costs and facilitating maintenance.

[0011] Technical Solution

[0012] The present invention relates to a sow water supply management system, which is characterized in that an operation unit for supplying feed is installed at the bottom of a hopper, and when the pig operates the operation unit, the feed is discharged and water is supplied.

[0013] Beneficial Effects

[0014] Therefore, the present invention has the effect of supplying water to the feeder while supplying feed, and supplying water by operating the feeding operation unit, so that there is no need to install a separate water supply operation unit, thereby reducing production costs and facilitating maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of the sow water supply management system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention relates to a sow water supply management system, which is characterized in that an operation unit for supplying feed is installed at the bottom of a hopper, and when the pig operates the operation unit, the feed is discharged and water is supplied.

[0019] Outside of feeding time, even if the pigs operate the operating unit, feed is not discharged but water is supplied.

[0020] The amount of water flowing out together with the feed is smaller than the amount of water flowing out alone without removing the feed.

[0021] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1Diagram of the existing sow water supply structure.

[0022] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Detailed structural diagram of Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of the sow water supply management system of the present invention.

[0023] In the present invention, an operation unit for supplying feed is installed at the bottom of the hopper, and when the pig operates the operation unit, the feed is discharged and water is also supplied.

[0024] Even if the pig operates the operating unit for a predetermined time, feed is not discharged but water is supplied, which is called drip mode (specified time).

[0025] Furthermore, the control unit sets the amount of water flowing out simultaneously with the feed to be smaller than the amount of water flowing out when the feed is not discharged.

[0026] The drip mode (specified time) is a more convenient way to feed sows, and is a method of soaking dry feed with water instead of dry feed, making it easier for sows to eat more feed.

[0027] And, the mode operation is set to one time output when the pig feed switch is touched. of feed.

[0028] Touch once and the water volume is displayed as cc×A (operation time) per second. The water volume may vary depending on the water pressure on the farm, so the operation time can be adjusted appropriately by experimenting.

[0029] The water supply mode is divided into a designated time mode and a free time mode. In the "designated time" mode, the action time is the time when the solenoid valve is actuated, which is the time when water is supplied at the same time as the feed is supplied, and can be adjusted in increments of 1 / 10 seconds. (10 = 1 second)

[0030] When the pig clicks the touch switch to eat feed, a predetermined amount of feed falls from the feed pipe. 2 to 5 times a day, at the set time, touch once to release 200 to 300g in the set amount of 2 to 3kg. The control unit can change the setting according to the sow. At this time, when feeding feed, the control unit opens the solenoid valve of the water supply pipe and only supplies a small amount of water, enough to soak the dry feed in water.

[0031] The control unit is set to supply water only in small amounts when feeding And supply after all feed is eaten When the pig touches the touch switch, only water flows out through the solenoid valve. The purpose of this is to prevent the pig from playing with water unnecessarily.

[0032] As another way of supplying water, in the "free time" mode, water can be supplied outside of the feeding time to ensure sufficient drinking water.

[0033] The controller is composed of a control unit, a storage unit for storing data, a solenoid operating unit, and an input / output device.

[0034] Therefore, the present invention performs health management by appropriately controlling water, preventing water play, and stably ingesting the supplied feed.

[0035] Therefore, the present invention has the effect of supplying water to the feeder while supplying feed, and supplying water by operating the feeding operation unit, so that there is no need to install a separate water supply operation unit, thereby reducing production costs and facilitating maintenance.
