Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, and particularly relates to a mobile feeding device for pig breeding. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of China's livestock industry, especially the gradual development of the pig breeding industry towards large-scale and intensive directions, the traditional manual feeding method has been difficult to meet the requirements of modern pig production for efficiency and accuracy. Against this background, the industrialized pig breeding mode has gradually emerged. Through standardized management, environmental control, and the application of automated equipment, it has significantly improved the breeding efficiency and the slaughter rate, becoming an important development trend in current pig breeding.
[0003] During the industrialized pig breeding process, feed feeding, as one of the key links, directly affects the growth rate and health status of pigs. The traditional manual feeding method not only has a high labor intensity and low efficiency, but also is difficult to achieve timed and quantitative precise feeding, easily causing feed waste or uneven nutrient supply. For this reason, various automated feeding systems have emerged in recent years and have been widely applied in large-scale pig farms. The automated feeding system can automatically complete feed conveying and feeding according to the set program, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving the feeding efficiency and management level.
[0004] However, most of the common automated feeding systems on the market currently are of fixed structures, and usually, facilities such as feeding pipes, storage bins, and control systems need to be separately arranged in each pig house. Although this configuration achieves partial automation, there are problems such as repeated equipment investment, high construction costs, and complex maintenance. Especially for small and medium-sized farms, the investment threshold is relatively high, restricting their wide application. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile feeding device for pig breeding, which uses a flexible and mobile feeding device to replace the feeding system, can effectively reduce the input cost, and is more suitable for small and medium-sized farms.
[0006] The above technical object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A mobile feeding device for pig breeding, including a driving chassis. Two driving wheels are installed on both sides of the driving chassis, and a hub motor is arranged in each driving wheel. A power battery for power supply is arranged in the driving chassis. A storage box is arranged at the upper end of the driving chassis. A vertically arranged conveying cylinder is rotatably connected to the rear side inside the storage box. A feed inlet is formed on the side wall of the lower part of the conveying cylinder, and a discharge outlet is formed on the side wall of the upper part of the conveying cylinder. The feed inlet and the discharge outlet are arranged opposite to each other on the front and rear sides of the conveying cylinder. A driving motor for driving the rotation of the conveying cylinder is installed at the upper end of the storage box. A spiral conveying rod is rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder. A driving motor for driving the rotation of the spiral conveying rod is installed at the upper end of the storage box; A feeding hopper is arranged at the rear side of the storage box. The lower end of the feeding hopper extends into the storage box and is provided with a feeding port. The feeding port is attached to the conveying cylinder and corresponds to the position of the feed inlet. Guide channels corresponding to the position of the discharge outlet are arranged on both the left and right sides of the conveying cylinder inside the storage box. Each guide channel can communicate with the discharge outlet. Feeding channels communicating with the free ends of the corresponding guide channels are arranged on both the left and right sides outside the storage box. The free end of each feeding channel is arranged to incline downward.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, before feeding, first add feed into the storage box and gradually add the feed into the feeding hopper. At this time, the driving motor drives the conveying cylinder to rotate, so that the feed inlet rotates to the rear to communicate with the feeding port, and the discharge outlet rotates to the front. At this time, the feed can enter the conveying cylinder through the feed inlet. The driving motor operates to drive the spiral conveying rod to rotate, gradually convey the entered feed upward, and discharge it into the storage box from the discharge outlet; During feeding, the driving wheels of the driving chassis drive the device to move between pig houses. When it is necessary to feed the feed into the feeding trough, first, the hydraulic support rod extends, pushing the feeding channel to incline upward towards the feeding trough. The driving motor drives the conveying cylinder to rotate, so that the feed inlet rotates to one side to communicate with the inside of the storage box, and the discharge outlet rotates to communicate with the guide channel on one side. At this time, the driving motor operates to drive the spiral conveying rod to rotate, gradually convey the feed entering from the storage box upward, and discharge it into the guide channel from the discharge outlet, and then discharge it into the feeding trough through the feeding channel, thus completing one feeding.
[0008] The further setting of the present invention is: A worm gear is arranged at the upper end of the conveying cylinder extending out of the upper end of the storage box. The power output shaft of the driving motor is connected with a worm meshing with the worm gear.
[0009] A further setting of the present invention is that: an installation frame is provided above the worm wheel of the material storage box, the driving motor is installed at the upper end of the installation frame, and the power output shaft of the driving motor passes downward through the worm wheel and is connected to the screw conveyor rod.
[0010] A further setting of the present invention is that: the upper end of each feeding channel is connected and communicated with the free end of the corresponding guiding channel through a flexible channel, and a hydraulic support rod is rotatably connected between the lower side of each feeding channel and the outer wall of the material storage box.
[0011] A further setting of the present invention is that: the free end of each guiding channel is inclined downward.
[0012] A further setting of the present invention is that: the inner wall at the rear side of the material storage box is connected with a rotating connection sleeve that sleeved the conveying cylinder and is rotatably connected to it.
[0013] A further setting of the present invention is that: the bottom inside the material storage box is inclined towards the lower end of the conveying cylinder.
[0014] A further setting of the present invention is that: millimeter-wave radars are provided on both the front and rear sides of the driving chassis.
[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Firstly, compared with the existing feeding systems, the mobile feeding device of the present invention is not fixedly distributed in each breeding pen, but can move freely in the breeding area, which is convenient for freely choosing to add feed according to needs, and there is no need to set a variety of sensors in the breeding pen, which can effectively reduce the construction cost; Secondly, the conveying cylinder of the present invention can rotate. When the feeding port rotates to communicate with the feeding hopper and the discharging port rotates to face the inside of the material storage box, the feed in the feeding hopper can be conveyed into the material storage box through the screw conveyor rod. When feeding is required, just rotate the casing of the conveying cylinder again. The rotatable design of the conveying cylinder makes it more convenient to add feed into the material storage box.
