Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermostatic boxes and relates to a thermostatic box for piglets. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, in piglet breeding, the quality of environmental temperature control is an important factor in determining the survival rate. An important physiological characteristic of piglets is that the body temperature regulation function is not sound, and they are easily affected by cold and have low body temperature (rectal temperature <35°C), leading to direct or indirect death. For example, the body temperature of newborn piglets is generally: 37.5°C ~ 38°C (0.5°C ~ 1°C lower than normal body temperature). If a piglet 6 hours after birth is placed in an environment of 5°C for 90 minutes, its rectal temperature will drop by 4°C. The body temperature regulation system of newborn piglets is immature and the energy reserve is very low. When these energies are exhausted, the piglets will starve to death or have low rectal temperature. At the same time, when the temperature is lower than the critical temperature, the piglets will have reduced immunoglobulin activity in the body, increased diseases, mainly diarrhea and hypoglycemia, and they will easily die if not treated in time. In most pig-raising areas in the world, there are only a few periods when the temperature can reach the critical temperature of newborn piglets or suckling piglets, so the mortality rate of piglets in the early stage is very high. Studies have shown that pigs that die before weaning account for 20% to 25% of all pigs, which has become an important factor limiting the annual productivity of sows; therefore, a piglet incubator is designed based on the existing piglet insulation needs, which can maintain the temperature at 32℃ to 34℃ for a long time. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a piglet incubator, which solves the problem of piglet death caused by poor control of environmental temperature during piglet breeding in the prior art, and achieves the long-term constant temperature effect of the piglet incubator.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a piglet thermostatic box described in the present invention includes a box body and a feces collection device, the feces collection device is installed in the box body, the bottom plate of the feces collection device is in contact with the bottom plate of the box body, and the feces collection device and the box body are fixedly connected by a buckle.

[0005] Furthermore, the manure leakage collection device is a drawer-type coverless pull-out manure leakage box, in which a heating manure leakage plate is fixedly installed;

[0006] One end of the heated manure leakage plate is a solid plate, and the other end is a plate with a plurality of manure leakage holes evenly arranged.

[0007] Furthermore, the heated manure slat includes cover plates arranged on the upper and lower sides, a distributed capacitance current absorption layer and a heating film arranged between the cover plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the heating film is a graphene flexible film;

[0009] A circle of copper bars is covered on the heating film.

[0010] Furthermore, the distributed capacitance current absorption layer is made of a low resistance material and an independently insulated composite material.

Due to the design of combining the heating plate and the manure drain plate into one, the heating plate is mainly composed of a graphene heating film and a copper bar, which has good heating effect and low energy consumption. In addition, a phase change energy storage coating is sprayed on the inner surface of the thermostat box, which can absorb or store heat, effectively achieving a constant temperature effect, solving the problem of piglet death due to poor control of the ambient temperature during piglet breeding, thereby achieving a long-term constant temperature effect of the piglet thermostat; 2. The thermostat is also provided with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor and an air quality monitor, which can monitor the temperature, humidity and air quality in the box in real time through the display screen, and cooperate with an alarm device.

The present invention adopts dual technologies of a heating plate and a phase change material energy storage material.
