Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of livestock and poultry breeding equipment, and in particular to an automatic feeding system for a circular livestock house. Background Art

[0002] The traditional manual feeding method has problems such as cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and incomplete equipment cleaning. For example, when the breeder needs to manually carry feed, whether it is bagged feed or bulk feed, it requires a lot of physical labor. And the speed of manual feed addition is relatively slow, especially in large livestock houses, it takes a long time to complete a feed addition, which affects the overall efficiency of the feeding work. At the same time, after the livestock finish eating, if the troughs and feeding equipment are not cleaned in time or thoroughly, it is easy to breed bacteria, posing a threat to the health of the livestock.

[0003] With the continuous development of science and technology, modern animal husbandry has adopted automated feeding systems to improve the quality, management efficiency and economic benefits of feeding. For example, CN 221807708 U invention discloses "a pig house feed supply mechanism", in which the gear in the equipment drives the feed bucket to rotate through the mounting shaft, so that the feed in the feed bucket is introduced into the pig feeding bucket through the inverting hopper for feeding; CN 220422733 U invention discloses "a box-type pig house quantitative feed feeding device", firstly, the feed and water are mixed to form nutrients, and after the mixing is completed, the controller controls the switch of the solenoid valve to feed the pigs at a fixed time. However, there are still some problems with the automated feeding systems on the market, such as incomplete feed cleaning, cumbersome feeding, and low efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of the automated feeding system, a circular livestock house automatic feeding system is proposed. Summary of the invention

The feeding pump 4 is installed on the first floor of the livestock house. The second-layer feeding riser 5 runs through the first and second floors of the livestock house, and the third-layer feeding riser 6 runs through the second and third floors of the livestock house. The second-layer feeding circular pipe 7 and the third-layer feeding circular pipe 8 are installed on the second and third floors of the livestock house, respectively. 2 to 10 feeding troughs 18 are installed on the second and third floors of the livestock house, respectively, and each of the feeding troughs 18 is installed with the material level meter 22; The residual food cleaning system includes the tap water tank 11, the water pump 12, the feed mixing box 3, the feed pump 4, the second-layer feed riser 5, the third-layer feed riser 6, the second-layer feed circular pipe 7, the third-layer feed circular pipe 8, the discharge pipe 9, the discharge pipe control valve 10, the second-layer drainage pipe 13, the second-layer drainage control valve 14, the third-layer drainage pipe 15, the third-layer drainage control valve 16, the recovery water tank 17, the food trough 18, and 2 to 10 second-layer drainage pipes are installed. 13 is connected to the trough 18 on the second floor of the livestock house, 2 to 10 three-layer drainage pipes 15 are installed and connected to the trough 18 on the third floor of the livestock house, the other end of the second-layer drainage pipe 13 and the other end of the three-layer drainage pipe 15 are both connected to the recovery water tank 17, 2 to 10 second-layer drainage control valves 14 are installed on the second-layer drainage pipe 13, 2 to 10 three-layer drainage control valves 16 are installed on the three-layer drainage pipe 15, and the recovery water tank 17 is installed on the first floor of the livestock house; The control system includes a controller 21, the feed self-priming pump 2, the feed pump 4, the discharge pipe control valve 10, the water pump 12, the second-layer drainage control valve 14, the third-layer drainage control valve 16, the material level meter 22, and a computer 23. The material level meter 22 and the computer 23 are connected to the controller 21 as signal input ends, and the feed self-priming pump 2, the feed pump 4, the discharge pipe control valve 10, the water pump 12, the second-layer drainage control valve 14, and the third-layer drainage control valve 16 are connected to the controller 21 as signal output ends.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the discharge pipe 9 is an inverted Y-shaped discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe 9 has two discharge ports respectively leading to the two adjacent food troughs 18.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the trough 18 is installed on the outermost circles of the second and third floors of the circular livestock house, and each trough 18 has two feed ports.

[0018] The specific implementation method is as follows: when the pigs only need to eat, a signal is transmitted to the controller 21 through the computer 23, and the controller 21 outputs a signal to control the feed self-priming pump 2 and the water pump 12. The feed self-priming pump 2 sends the feed in the feed grinder 1 into the feed mixing box 3, and the water pump 12 sends the tap water tank 11 into the feed mixing box 3 through the water supply pipe 20, and the feed mixing work is performed in the feed mixing box 3. At this time, the controller 21 counts until the feed mixing is completed, the feed self-priming pump 2 and the water pump 12 are closed, the feed pump 4 and the discharge pipe control valve 10 are opened, and the feed is sequentially transported to the second-layer feed riser 5, the second-layer feed circular pipe 7, the second-layer discharge pipe 9, and finally to the trough 18 through the feed pump 4. When any level meter 22 on the second layer detects the upper limit of the feed height of a certain trough 18, the level meter 22 inputs a signal to the controller 21, and the controller 21 closes the discharge pipe control valve 10. If the feed on the second layer is added, all the discharge pipe control valves 10 on the second layer are closed, and the feed will be sent to the third layer trough 18. When any level meter 22 on the third layer detects the upper limit of the feed height in a certain trough 18, the level meter 22 inputs a signal to the controller 21, and the controller 21 closes the discharge pipe control valve 10 until the feed on the third layer is added.

[0019] When all the pigs have finished eating, all the level meters 22 detect that the feed height has not changed. The level meter 22 transmits a signal to the controller 21. The controller 18 controls the water pump 12, the second-layer discharge pipe control valve 10, and the second-layer drainage control valve 14 to open. The tap water tank 11 supplies water to the feed mixing box 3 to clean the feed mixing box 3. Then the tap water passes through the second-layer feed riser 5, the second-layer feed circular pipe 7, the second-layer discharge pipe 9 to the second-layer trough 18 in sequence, flushing the second-layer feed riser 5, the second-layer feed circular pipe 7, the second-layer discharge pipe 9, and the trough while also feeding water to the pigs. At this time, when any level meter 22 on the second floor detects that there is no residual feed in a trough 18, the level meter 22 inputs a signal to the controller 21, and the controller 21 closes the discharge pipe control valve 10, and the cleaning of the trough 18 is completed. The flushed water enters the recovery water tank 17 through the second-layer drainage pipe 13 for recycling. After the second-floor trough 18 is cleaned, the second-floor drainage control valve 14 and the second-floor discharge pipe control valve 10 are closed, and the third-floor drainage control valve 16 and the third-floor discharge pipe control valve 10 are opened to flush the third-floor trough 18 and related pipes and feed water to the pigs on the third floor. The working principle is the same as that of the second floor. Finally, the tap water enters the recycling water tank 17 for recycling. When the cleaning and feeding of the third floor are completed, the third-floor drainage control valve 16 and the third-floor discharge pipe control valve 10 are closed, thus completing the automatic feeding and feeding system cleaning of the entire pig house.
