Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of breeding equipment technology, specifically to a feeding device and feeding method for assisting in the breeding of pigs. Background Technology

[0002] During the breeding process, pigs need a balanced diet of roughage and concentrate in their feed. At the same time, appropriate proportions of trace elements and beneficial microorganisms should be added to the feed to ensure the normal development of the bones of the mother and the fetus. In order to ensure that the breeding pigs and piglets in the pigpen eat at the same time, the pig troughs are usually long and continuous. Due to the intensive feeding of breeding pigs during the breeding period, feed residues are usually left in the corners of the bottom of the pig troughs. In order to prevent the feed residues from fermenting and deteriorating and to ensure the safety of the breeding pigs and piglets, the pig troughs are usually cleaned regularly.

[0003] Existing feeding equipment rarely cleans the feeding troughs or uses manual cleaning before adding feed. With less frequent cleaning, bacteria can easily grow inside the feeding troughs, affecting the health of pigs. Manual cleaning, on the other hand, increases labor costs significantly and is labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The feeding hopper includes a hopper body, a number of drive blocks are detachably connected to one side of the upper end face of the hopper body, and a cleaning component is installed on the lower end face of the hopper body;

[0008] The cleaning assembly includes a U-shaped plate, a connecting rod, and a T-shaped slider. The connecting rod and the T-shaped slider are spaced apart. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the U-shaped plate and the T-shaped slider. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the T-shaped slider. A cleaning motor is installed on one side of the guide plate. A piston plate is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the end of the cleaning motor away from the guide plate. A main shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the cleaning motor. The end of the main shaft away from the cleaning motor passes through the piston plate, and a spiral cleaning blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the end of the main shaft that passes through the piston plate.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, a screw is provided inside the guide rail, one end of which passes through the guide rail and is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the fixing block is penetrated by the screw inside the guide rail.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, a spring is provided inside the limiting groove, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting plate that extends into the limiting groove.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, the bottom of the trough is blocked by a guide seat and an adjusting plate, and the positions of the protrusions on the bottom of the adjusting plates inside the several sets of troughs are different.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment, a sealing groove is provided on one side of the bottom of the hopper body, the sealing groove being connected to the interior of the hopper body, and a T-shaped groove is provided on the other side of the bottom of the hopper body.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, the U-shaped plate is slidably connected inside the sealing groove, the T-shaped slider is slidably connected inside the T-shaped groove, and a spring is provided on the side of the T-shaped slider adjacent to the U-shaped plate, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment, the spiral cleaning strip is specifically composed of several sets of elastic strips arranged along a spiral trajectory outside the main shaft.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment, the feeding trough includes a feeding trough body, inside which a feeding trough and a cleaning trough are provided. The feeding trough and the cleaning trough are separated by a partition. A placement slot is provided on the side of the feeding trough away from the cleaning trough. One end of a spring column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the cleaning trough away from the feeding trough. A baffle is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring column. The baffle is embedded inside the partition, and the side of the baffle away from the spring column is flush with the side of the feeding trough away from the placement slot.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment, the bottom of the feeding trough is arc-shaped, the piston plate is fitted to the bottom of the feeding trough, the piston plate and the baffle are of equal thickness, and the cleaning component is slidably connected inside the placement trough.

[0017] As a further preferred embodiment, the cleaning tank is equipped with an inlet pipe and a drain pipe that connect to the outside.

[0018] As a further preferred embodiment, a feeding method for assisting the breeding of swine animals employs the aforementioned feeding device for assisting the breeding of swine animals. During feeding, different feeds are placed into several feed troughs. The drive motor and cleaning motor are activated, and the feeding hopper moves towards one side of the column. The cleaning motor drives the spiral cleaning blades and the main shaft to rotate. As the spiral cleaning blades rotate and move with the feeding hopper, they sweep away dirt and uneaten feed adhering to the bottom of the feed troughs. The piston plate pushes the swept dirt away from the feed troughs until the spiral cleaning blades push the baffle into the cleaning trough. The side of the piston plate adjacent to the spiral cleaning blades then contacts the baffle and the cleaning trough. With the adjacent side level, the piston plate and spiral cleaning blades are thoroughly cleaned and dried inside the cleaning trough by an external water source. Simultaneously, when the feeding hopper moves, the drive block pushes the protrusion, causing the adjusting plate to retract into the limiting groove. This allows the feed inside the trough to enter the hopper body. Subsequently, the drive motor returns the feeding hopper to its initial position. During this process, the static friction between the guide plate and piston plate and the feeding trough drives the cleaning components to move, exposing the sealing groove. The feed inside the hopper body falls onto the spiral cleaning blades through the U-shaped plate. As the spiral cleaning blades rotate, they guide the feed and then send it into the feeding trough, completing the even distribution of feed.

[0019] (ii) Beneficial effects

[0020] This invention provides a feeding device and method for assisting in the breeding of swine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This invention features a feeding hopper and a feeding trough. When the feeding hopper moves toward the column, a cleaning motor drives a spiral cleaning blade and a main shaft to rotate. The spiral cleaning blade performs a deep cleaning of the bottom of the feeding trough. The dirt generated during cleaning is pushed to one side of the column by a piston plate. The spiral cleaning blade pushes a baffle into the cleaning trough. The side of the piston plate adjacent to the spiral cleaning blade is flush with the side of the baffle and the cleaning trough. By connecting an external water source, the piston plate and the spiral cleaning blade are completely cleaned and dried inside the cleaning trough, thus completing the cleaning of the inside of the feeding trough before adding feed.

[0022] 2. This invention, by setting up a feed storage box, a feeding hopper, and a feeding trough, allows the feed hopper to move towards the column. During this movement, the drive block pushes the protrusion, causing the adjusting plate to retract into the limiting groove. This allows feed from the trough to enter the hopper body, while the cleaning component cleans the bottom of the feeding trough. As the hopper returns to its initial position, the static friction between the guide plate, piston plate, and feeding trough causes the cleaning component to move, exposing the sealing groove. Feed from inside the hopper body falls onto the spiral cleaning plate via the U-shaped plate. The rotating spiral cleaning plate guides the feed into the feeding trough, completing the feed distribution. The spiral cleaning plate guides the feed during addition, preventing it from jumping and ensuring it doesn't spill out of the feeding trough. Thus, by controlling the movement of the feeding hopper, feed addition and feeding trough cleaning are completed, making operation convenient.

[0023] 3. This invention features a feed storage box and a feeding hopper. Several sets of drive blocks are detachably connected to one side of the upper surface of the hopper body. When the protrusion is pressed by the drive blocks, the adjusting plate retracts into the limiting groove. After the protrusion separates from the drive blocks, the feed inside the trough falls into the hopper body. A spring resets the adjusting plate, stopping the feed from falling. By adjusting the position and number of drive blocks above the hopper body and adding different types of feed to the several sets of troughs, various feed mixtures can be fed by selectively installing some drive blocks. Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the adjusting plate, the cross-sectional size of the feed holes at the bottom of the troughs differs after the adjusting plates are opened, resulting in different feed flow rates for each trough. This allows for adjustment of the feed ingredient ratios according to actual needs. Attached Figure Description

[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding device to assist in the breeding of swine animals, including a feed storage box 1 and a feeding trough 6. The feed storage box 1 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the feeding trough 6 by a column. There is a guide rail 2 at the bottom of the front end face of the feed storage box 1. A drive motor 3 is installed on one side of the guide rail 2. A fixing block 5 is slidably connected inside the guide rail 2. A feeding hopper 4 is provided between the feed storage box 1 and the feeding trough 6. One end of the fixing block 5 extends out of the guide rail 2 and is fixedly connected to the front end face of the feeding hopper 4.

[0041] The feed storage box 1 includes a feed box body 11. Several sets of feed troughs 13 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the feed box body 11. A guide seat 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of one side of the feed trough 13. A limiting groove 17 is opened on the bottom of the guide seat 12 away from the fixed side. An adjusting plate 14 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 17. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the adjusting plate 14 away from the guide seat 12. A protrusion 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 15.

[0042] The feeding hopper 4 includes a hopper body 41, a number of drive blocks 42 are detachably connected to one side of the upper end face of the hopper body 41, and a cleaning component 43 is installed on the lower end face of the hopper body 41.

[0043] The cleaning component 43 includes a U-shaped plate 431, a connecting rod 432, and a T-shaped slider 433. The connecting rod 432 and the T-shaped slider 433 are spaced apart. The two ends of the connecting rod 432 are respectively fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the U-shaped plate 431 and the T-shaped slider 433. A guide plate 434 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the T-shaped slider 433. A cleaning motor is installed on one side of the guide plate 434. A piston plate 435 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the end of the cleaning motor away from the guide plate 434. A main shaft 437 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cleaning motor. The end of the main shaft 437 away from the cleaning motor passes through the piston plate 435, and a spiral cleaning blade 436 is fixedly connected to the outside of the end of the main shaft 437 that passes through the piston plate 435.

[0044] Furthermore, a screw is provided inside the guide rail 2, with one end of the screw passing through the guide rail 2 and fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 3. The fixing block 5 is penetrated by the screw inside the guide rail 2.

[0045] Specifically, the drive motor 3 drives the screw to rotate to adjust the position of the fixed block 5, thereby changing the position of the feeding hopper 4. When the feeding hopper 4 is moving, the drive block 42 pushes the protrusion 16, causing the adjusting plate 14 to retract into the limiting groove 17. As a result, the feed inside the feed trough 13 enters the feeding hopper body 41. When the feeding hopper 4 is moving, the cleaning motor is started, causing the spiral cleaning blade 436 and the main shaft 437 to rotate together. When the spiral cleaning blade 436 rotates, it cleans the inner wall of the feeding trough 6. After the inner wall of the feeding trough 6 is cleaned, the feeding hopper 4 is driven to return to the initial position. During the return process, the static friction between the guide plate 434 and the piston plate 435 and the inner wall of the feeding trough 6 will cause the cleaning component 43 to move, thereby causing the feed inside the feeding hopper 4 to fall and be evenly spread on the bottom of the feeding trough 6 by the spiral cleaning blade 436.

[0046] It should be noted that the highest point of the drive block 42 is flush with the bottom of the feed box body 11 and the connecting plate 15. During the movement of the drive block 42, it will push the protrusion 16, causing the protrusion 16 to retract into the limiting groove 17. The feed inlet of the hopper body 41 is larger than the discharge outlet of the feed trough 13.

[0047] In other embodiments, each set of feed troughs 13 is filled with different types of feed, and a stirring component is provided inside the feed hopper 4, so that the feed hopper 4 can complete the filling and stirring of various different feeds during the movement.

[0048] Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the adjusting plate 14, the cross-sectional size of the feed drop hole at the bottom of the feed trough 13 can be different after the adjusting plate 14 at the bottom of several feed troughs 13 is opened, so the feed drop flow rate of each feed trough 13 is also different, thereby adjusting the ratio of each raw material in the feed according to actual needs.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 and 4 A spring 18 is provided inside the limiting groove 17, and one end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting plate 14 that extends into the limiting groove 17.

[0050] Specifically, when the protrusion 16 is squeezed by the drive block 42, the adjusting plate 14 will be retracted into the limiting groove 17. After the protrusion 16 separates from the drive block 42, the spring 18 will reset the adjusting plate 14, causing the material trough 13 to stop dropping material.

[0051] Furthermore, the bottom of the trough 13 is blocked by the guide seat 12 and the adjusting plate 14, and the positions of the protrusions 16 set at the bottom of the adjusting plate 14 inside the several sets of troughs 13 are different.

[0052] Specifically, by adjusting the position and number of drive blocks 42 above the hopper body 41 and adding different types of feed into several sets of feed troughs 13, multiple types of feed mixed with different feeds can be fed by selectively installing some drive blocks 42 during feeding.

[0053] Please see Figure 5-9 A sealing groove is provided on one side of the bottom of the hopper body 41, and the sealing groove connects to the inside of the hopper body 41. A T-shaped groove is provided on the other side of the bottom of the hopper body 41.

[0054] Furthermore, the U-shaped plate 431 is slidably connected inside the sealing groove, and the T-shaped slider 433 is slidably connected inside the T-shaped groove. A spring is provided on the side of the T-shaped slider 433 adjacent to the U-shaped plate 431, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove.

[0055] Furthermore, the spiral cleaning plate 436 is specifically composed of several sets of elastic strips arranged along a spiral trajectory outside the main shaft 437.

[0056] Specifically, during feeding, the process of the cleaning component 43 is divided into two stages. When cleaning the feeding trough 6, the cleaning motor drives the spiral cleaning blade 436 and the main shaft 437 to rotate. The spiral cleaning blade 436 performs deep cleaning on the feeding trough 6. The dirt generated during cleaning is pushed to the other side by the piston plate 435. When feeding, the static friction between the guide plate 434 and the piston plate 435 and the feeding trough 6 drives the cleaning component 43 to move, thereby exposing the sealing groove. The feed inside the hopper body 41 falls onto the spiral cleaning blade 436 through the U-shaped plate 431. When the spiral cleaning blade 436 rotates, it guides the feed and sends it into the feeding trough 6, completing the feed addition. When the feed is added through the spiral cleaning blade 436, there is no jumping, ensuring that the feed will not jump out of the feeding trough 6 during addition.

[0057] Please see Figure 10 The feeding trough 6 includes a feeding trough body 61. Inside the feeding trough body 61, there is a feeding trough 62 and a cleaning trough 65. The feeding trough 62 and the cleaning trough 65 are separated by a partition. A placement slot 63 is provided on the side of the feeding trough 62 away from the cleaning trough 65. One end of a spring column 66 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the cleaning trough 65 away from the feeding trough 62. A baffle 64 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring column 66. The baffle 64 is embedded inside the partition, and the side of the baffle 64 away from the spring column 66 is flush with the side of the feeding trough 62 away from the placement slot 63.

[0058] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding trough 62 is arc-shaped, the piston plate 435 is attached to the bottom of the feeding trough 62, the piston plate 435 and the baffle 64 have the same thickness, and the cleaning component 43 is slidably connected inside the placement trough 63.

[0059] Furthermore, the cleaning tank 65 is equipped with an inlet pipe and a drain pipe that connect to the outside.

[0060] Specifically, when the cleaning component 43 moves to the limit on one side of the cleaning tank 65, the spiral cleaning blade 436 will push the baffle 64 into the cleaning tank 65. The side of the piston plate 435 adjacent to the spiral cleaning blade 436 will be flush with the side of the baffle and the cleaning tank 65. Through the external water source, the piston plate 435 and the spiral cleaning blade 436 will be completely cleaned and spun dry inside the cleaning tank 65.

[0061] It should be noted that when the cleaning component 43 is inside the placement slot 63, the piston plate 435 separates the food trough 62 from the placement slot 63.

[0062] This embodiment also provides a feeding method to assist in the breeding of swine animals, including: during feeding, different feeds are placed into several feed troughs 13, the drive motor and cleaning motor are started, the feeding hopper 4 moves to one side of the column, the cleaning motor drives the spiral cleaning blade 436 and the main shaft 437 to rotate, the spiral cleaning blade 436, as it rotates and moves with the feeding hopper 4, sweeps away dirt and uneaten feed adhering to the bottom of the feeding trough 62, the piston plate 435 pushes the swept dirt away from the inside of the feeding trough 62 until the spiral cleaning blade 436 pushes the baffle 64 into the cleaning trough 65, the side of the piston plate 435 adjacent to the spiral cleaning blade 436 is flush with the side of the baffle and the cleaning trough 65, and the feeding is carried out by connecting an external water supply. The feed source allows the piston plate 435 and the spiral cleaning blade 436 to be completely cleaned and dried inside the cleaning trough 65. At the same time, when the feeding hopper 4 is moving, the drive block 42 will push the protrusion 16, causing the adjusting plate 14 to retract into the limiting groove 17. Then, the feed inside the feed trough 13 will enter the hopper body 41. Subsequently, the drive motor will return the feeding hopper 4 to the initial position. During this process, the static friction between the guide plate 434 and the piston plate 435 and the feeding trough 6 will drive the cleaning component 43 to move, thereby exposing the sealing groove. The feed inside the hopper body 41 will fall onto the spiral cleaning blade 436 through the U-shaped plate 431. When the spiral cleaning blade 436 rotates, it will guide the feed and then send it into the feeding trough 6, completing the uniform addition of feed.

[0063] The feeding device for assisting the breeding of swine animals provided by the present invention includes a feeding hopper 4 and a feeding trough 6. When the feeding hopper 4 moves toward one side of the column, the cleaning motor drives the spiral cleaning blade 436 and the main shaft 437 to rotate. The spiral cleaning blade 436 performs deep cleaning on the bottom of the feeding trough 62. The dirt generated during cleaning is pushed to one side of the column by the piston plate 435. The spiral cleaning blade 436 pushes the baffle 64 into the cleaning trough 65. The side of the piston plate 435 adjacent to the spiral cleaning blade 436 is flush with the side of the baffle and the cleaning trough 65. By connecting an external water source, the piston plate 435 and the spiral cleaning blade 436 are completely cleaned and dried inside the cleaning trough 65, thereby completing the cleaning of the inside of the feeding trough before adding feed.

[0064] Secondly, by setting up a feed storage box 1, a feeding hopper 4, and a feeding trough 6, as the feeding hopper 4 moves towards the column, the drive block 42 pushes the protrusion 16, causing the adjusting plate 14 to retract into the limiting groove 17. This allows the feed inside the trough 13 to enter the hopper body 41, and the cleaning component 43 cleans the bottom of the feeding trough 62. As the feeding hopper 4 returns to its initial position, the static friction between the guide plate 434 and the piston plate 435 and the feeding trough 6 drives the cleaning component 43 to move, thereby sealing the feed. With the trough exposed, the feed inside the hopper body 41 falls onto the spiral cleaning plate 436 through the U-shaped plate 431. When the spiral cleaning plate 436 rotates, it guides the feed and sends it into the feeding trough 6, completing the feed addition. When the feed is added through the spiral cleaning plate 436, the spiral cleaning plate 436 guides the feed, preventing it from jumping and ensuring that the feed does not bounce out of the feeding trough 6. Thus, by controlling the movement of the feeding hopper 4, the feed addition and cleaning of the feeding trough are completed, making the operation convenient.

[0065] Furthermore, by setting up a feed storage box 1 and a feeding hopper 4, several sets of drive blocks 42 are detachably connected to one side of the upper end face of the hopper body 41. When the protrusion 16 is squeezed by the drive blocks 42, the adjusting plate 14 will retract into the limiting groove 17. After the protrusion 16 separates from the drive blocks 42, the feed inside the feed trough 13 will fall into the feed body 41. The spring 18 will reset the adjusting plate 14, stopping the feed trough 13 from dropping feed. By adjusting the position and number of drive blocks 42 above the hopper body 41, and adding different types of feed into several sets of feed troughs 13, multiple feeds mixed with different feeds can be fed by selectively installing some drive blocks 42. By adjusting the size of the adjusting plate 14, the cross-sectional size of the feed dropping hole at the bottom of several sets of feed troughs 13 will be different after the adjusting plate 14 at the bottom of the several sets of feed troughs 13 is opened, so that the feed falling flow rate of each set of feed troughs 13 will also be different. Thus, the ratio of each raw material of the feed can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0066] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

4. The feeding device according to claim 1, wherein: The bottom of the feeding trough (62) is arc-shaped, and the piston plate (435) is attached to the bottom of the feeding trough (62).

5. A method of feeding to assist pig breeding using the feeding device for assisting pig breeding according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized by: During feeding, different feeds are placed into several feed troughs (13) respectively. The drive motor and cleaning motor are started, and the feeding hopper (4) moves to one side of the column. The cleaning motor drives the spiral cleaning blade (436) and the main shaft (437) to rotate. When the spiral cleaning blade (436) rotates and moves with the feeding hopper (4), it will sweep away the dirt and uneaten feed adhering to the bottom of the feeding trough (62). The piston plate (435) will push the swept dirt away from the inside of the feeding trough (62) until the spiral cleaning blade (436) pushes the baffle (64) into the cleaning trough (65). The side of the piston plate (435) adjacent to the spiral cleaning blade (436) will be level with the side of the baffle and the cleaning trough (65) adjacent to it. By connecting an external water source, the piston plate (435) and the spiral cleaning blade will be flush. (436) The feed is completely cleaned and spun dry inside the cleaning tank (65). At the same time, when the feeding hopper (4) is moving, the drive block (42) will push the protrusion (16) so that the adjustment plate (14) will be retracted into the limiting groove (17). Then the feed inside the feed trough (13) will enter the feed hopper body (41). Then the feed hopper (4) will return to the initial position through the drive motor. During this process, the static friction between the guide plate (434) and the piston plate (435) and the feeding trough (6) will drive the cleaning component (43) to move, and then the sealing groove will be exposed. The feed inside the feed hopper body (41) will fall onto the spiral cleaning plate (436) through the U-shaped plate (431). When the spiral cleaning plate (436) rotates, it will guide the feed and then send it into the feeding trough (6) to complete the uniform addition of feed.
