Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pig feeding devices, specifically to a pig feeding device with an anti-stealing function. Background Technology

[0002] Pig farming is an agricultural production activity, primarily involving raising pigs for food. It is a crucial industry in my country's agriculture, playing a vital role in ensuring a safe supply of meat. Currently, pig farming typically involves feeding pigs at fixed times and in fixed quantities. However, in practice, competition for food can lead to significant differences in size between individual pigs. Separating or feeding pigs individually increases labor, reduces feeding efficiency, and negatively impacts the overall quality of pigs at market weight. Furthermore, pig feeding methods include dry feeding, liquid feeding, and a combination of both. Dry feeding requires pigs to produce large amounts of saliva, which can damage their stomachs. Liquid feeding, on the other hand, leads to excessive water intake. Therefore, it's best to soak and soften feed beforehand. However, with the arrival of summer and hot weather, soaked feed stored in automatic feeders is prone to spoilage, potentially causing illness in pigs. Additionally, cleaning automatic feeders containing soaked feed is inconvenient and increases the workload for staff. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention: This invention proposes a feeding device for pig farming with anti-fighting function, which solves the technical problems of pigs fighting for food, easy spoilage of feed and inconvenience of manual operation.

[0004] Technical Solution: This invention proposes a feeding device for pig farming with anti-fighting feeding function, comprising a base, guardrails on both sides of the base, a feeding device and a water tank located in front of the base, a feed trough, and a pressure plate; the feed trough is located below the feeding device, the feeding device and the water tank are arranged side by side, the lower part of the water tank has an isolation section, a water storage box is movably inserted into the isolation section, the water storage box has an opening on one side, a connecting block is provided at the bottom of the water storage box, and a locking block is provided at the top of the feed trough, the connecting block and the locking block... The block interlocking mechanism causes the water storage box to move up and down within the isolation section as the feeding trough moves. A pressure plate is located below the feeding trough, and the pressure plate is connected to the feeding trough via a connecting belt. The pressure plate is also connected to the base. A connecting rod is attached to the outer end of the rotating shaft of the pressure plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the door panel. When the feeding device feeds the food, the feeding trough moves downward, which in turn causes the pressure plate to move away from the water storage tank via the connecting belt, thus pushing open the door panel. When the pressure plate deflects, the connecting rod moves with the pressure plate towards the water storage tank, thus pulling the door panel to close.

[0005] Preferably, the bottom of the pressure plate is mounted on the base via a torsion spring shaft, and the pressure plate is tilted upwards in its natural state, with the tilted end of the pressure plate closer to the feeding trough.

[0006] Preferably, a guide plate is connected inside the feeding trough below the feeding device, and an insert block is connected to the bottom of the feeding trough. The insert block is movably inserted into a limiting plate, and the limiting plate is connected to the bottom of the base.

[0007] Preferably, an operating plate is connected to the outside of the feeding trough. By deflecting the operating plate, the feeding trough can be deflected outward. When the feeding trough is at its lowest point, the insert block is inserted into the outside of the limiting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the isolation section is a rectangular structure, and the width of the isolation section is smaller than the width of the upper half of the water storage tank.

[0009] Preferably, the outer edge of the water storage box that contacts the inner wall of the isolation section is connected with a rubber layer, and the length of the water storage box is greater than the length of the isolation section.

[0010] Preferably, the base is provided with a fixed pulley, and the connecting belt passes around the fixed pulley and is connected at one end to the bottom of the feeding trough, and at the other end to the bottom of the movable end of the pressure plate.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding trough is connected to the base via several support rods, each support rod including a telescopic rod and a spring located around the telescopic rod.

[0012] Preferably, guardrails are provided on both sides of the rear end of the base.

[0013] Preferably, the guardrail has a notch at one end near the connecting rod, and a door panel is installed at the notch.

[0014] Beneficial effects: 1. The present invention can automatically close the door when pigs enter the base to feed by using the cooperation of the pressure plate and the connecting rod, thereby preventing other pigs from entering the base and competing for food. It can effectively isolate the pigs. At the same time, the cooperation of the feeding trough, support rod, fixed pulley and connecting belt can keep the door closed when there is no feed in the feeding trough, which facilitates the cleaning of the pig feeding device and can also prevent the feeding trough from being contaminated.

[0015] 2. This invention sets the critical value of the support rod's deformation under pressure when the feeding trough is at its highest point. This allows the feeding trough to be lowered to the lowest point of the support rod when the feeding device releases dry feed at regular intervals, ensuring the feeding trough is at a convenient height for pigs to eat. Simultaneously, the cooperation of the water storage tank, water storage box, and feeding trough allows water to be released when dry feed enters and moves downwards in the trough, achieving both dry and wet feeding. This is beneficial for pigs' eating and growth. Furthermore, storing dry feed and water separately greatly reduces feed spoilage and facilitates manual cleaning and maintenance, thus benefiting pig farming and feeding operations.

[0016] 3. This invention, through the cooperation of connecting blocks and locking blocks, allows the water storage box to move downwards along with the feeding trough. A rubber ring is connected to the outside of the water storage box, which can seal the bottom outlet of the isolation section. Simultaneously, the length of the water storage box is set to be longer than the isolation section, and an opening structure is provided on the right side of the water storage box. This allows the water storage box to move up and down with the feeding trough, ensuring that when the feeding trough is at a higher position, the top of the water storage box is higher than the isolation section. This allows water to enter the water storage box. When the water storage box moves downwards with the feeding trough, i.e., when the feeding device discharges feed, the water storage box moves downwards again, causing the side opening of the water storage box to misalign with the isolation section, achieving a quantitative discharge of water from the water storage box, thus achieving both dry and wet feeding. This enables automatic feeding and facilitates manual operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] Please see Figure 1 A pig feeding device with anti-scrambling feeding function is disclosed. The device includes a base 1, with guardrails 9 symmetrically connected to both sides of the base 1 to limit the pig's movement. A support rod 10 is connected to the front of the base 1, and a feeding trough 5 is connected to the top of the support rod 10. A feed dispensing device 8, mounted on the base 1, is positioned above the feeding trough 5. The feed dispensing device 8 is connected to an external power source and automatically dispenses dry feed, enabling timed and quantitative feeding. The timed feeding device is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A pressure plate 4, mounted on the base 1, is positioned below the feeding trough 5. The pressure plate 4 is mounted on the base 1 via a torsion spring shaft. In its natural state, the pressure plate 4 is tilted upwards. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 A connecting rod 6 is movably connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft of the pressure plate 4. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The outer end of the base 1 is connected to and installed with the door panel 7 via a hinge. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The inner end of the door panel 7, near its mounting shaft, is movably connected to the outer end of the connecting rod 6. This allows the connecting rod 6 to pull the door panel 7 closed as the pressure plate 4 rotates. In other words, when a pig enters the base 1 and stands on the feeding trough 5 to eat, the pig will step on the pressure plate 4, causing the pressure plate 4 to deflect and pull the door panel 7 closed via the connecting rod 6. This prevents pigs from fighting for food, avoiding the problem of increasing individual differences among pigs caused by pigs fighting for food. This is beneficial for pig farming and provides convenience for artificial management, avoiding the need to isolate pigs for extra feeding. After finishing eating and leaving the feeding trough 5, the pig can also push open the door panel 7 and leave the base 1 on its own.

[0028] Please see Figure 6-7The bottom of the movable end of the pressure plate 4 is connected to the bottom of the feeding trough 5 via a connecting strap 12. The connecting strap 12 is made of a soft yet sturdy material. A fixed pulley 11 mounted on the base 1 is also installed below the feeding trough 5. The connecting strap 12 passes around the bottom of the fixed pulley 11 and connects to the pressure plate 4 and the feeding trough 5. Simultaneously, the bottom of the feeding trough 5 is connected to the base 1 via a support rod 10. The support rod 10 consists of a spring and a freely extendable rod. In its natural state, the support rod 10 is in an extended state, and simultaneously, it is also in a state of equilibrium at the critical point of shortening. At this time, the feeding trough 5 is in a high position, and the tension of the connecting strap 12 causes the pressure plate 4 to be in a closed state, meaning that the door panel 7 is closed. In the closed state, when the feeding device 8 above the trough 5 releases feed at regular intervals, adult pigs generally consume 1.5-3.5 kg of feed per meal. The weight of the feed increases the weight of the trough 5, causing the support rod 10 to be compressed and contracted. The trough 5 moves downward, and the pressure plate 4 loses the tension of the trough 5 and tilts upward, returning to its natural state. At this time, the door panel 7 also opens, allowing the pigs to enter the base 1 to eat. After entering the base 1, the pigs stand in front of the trough 5 to eat. At the same time, when the pigs step on the pressure plate 4, the door panel 7 closes, preventing other pigs from entering. This achieves the effect of separating different individual pigs when they eat, avoiding the problem of competing for food, facilitating unified management by humans, and also benefiting the feeding and growth development of pigs.

[0029] Please see Figure 8-9 A water tank 2 mounted on a base 1 is located on the left side of the feeding device 8. The water tank 2 stores drinking water for pigs. An isolation section 21 is located at the bottom of the water tank 2. The isolation section 21 is rectangular, and its width is less than the width of the upper part of the water tank 2. A water storage box 3 is movably inserted into the isolation section 21. The right side of the water storage box 3 is open. A rubber layer is connected to the outer edge of the water storage box 3 that contacts the inner wall of the isolation section 21, ensuring a seal at the contact point. The length of the water storage box 3 is greater than the length of the isolation section 21. A connecting block 31 is connected to the bottom of the water storage box 3, and a locking block 51 is connected to the top of the feeding trough 5. The connecting block 31 and the locking block 51 engage, allowing the feeding trough 5 to move downwards. As the water storage box 3 moves downward and the feed trough 5 moves upward, the water storage box 3 enters the water storage tank 2. At this time, the top of the water storage box 3 is higher than the isolation section 21, and the water inside the water storage tank 2 can enter the water storage box 3. When the water storage box 3 moves downward with the feed trough 5, the top of the water storage box 3 is engaged in the isolation section 21, while the bottom of the water storage box 3 leaves the isolation section 21. At this time, the water in the water storage box 3 can be discharged into the feed trough 5, realizing the mixing of dry feed and water in the feed trough 5, which is beneficial to the pig's feeding and digestion. Furthermore, the dry and wet separation storage of pig feed is achieved through the water storage tank 2 and the feed dispensing device 8, which can greatly reduce the problem of feed spoilage, facilitate the operation of pig feed, reduce the problem of pig diseases, and also facilitate the later cleaning and other operations of the device.

[0030] Please participate Figure 1The top of the feed trough 5 is equipped with a guide plate 52, which is located below the discharge port of the feed dispensing device 8. The guide plate 52 can guide the feed discharged by the feed dispensing device 8, and prevent the feed from accumulating in the same position inside the feed trough 5, which would affect the mixing of dry and wet feed and the feeding of pigs.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 The bottom of the feeding trough 5 is connected to the support rod 10 via a torsion spring shaft. The feeding trough 5 can deflect outwards from the base 1. Simultaneously, an operating plate 54 is connected to the back of the feeding trough 5, allowing it to deflect outwards from the base 1 by stepping on the operating plate 54. This facilitates subsequent cleaning and other operations. Furthermore, the locking block 51 is located outside the connecting block 31, ensuring that the deflection of the feeding trough 5 does not interfere with the connecting block 31, thus facilitating manual operation. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 The bottom of the feed trough 5 is connected to a plug 53, and the bottom of the base 1 is connected to a limiting plate 13. The plug 53 is movably inserted into the outside of the limiting plate 13. When the feed trough 5 is filled with feed and its position moves down, the plug 53 is inserted into the outside of the limiting plate 13, which can ensure the stability of the position of the feed trough 5 when the pig is eating, avoid the problem of the feed trough 5 being deflected by the external force of the pig, and ensure the stability of the position of the feed trough 5 when the pig is eating.

[0032] also, Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic of the status of the feeding device 8 after feeding material.

[0033] The working principle of the method of use of this invention is as follows: The pig feeding device is installed in the pig farm and arranged side by side. At the same time, the power supply of the feeding device 8 is turned on, and the feeding device 8 is set so that it can release dry feed in a timely and quantitative manner according to the actual breeding needs, and pour the corresponding drinking water into the water storage tank 2. After it is put into use, when there is no feed in the trough 5, the support rod 10 is in an extended state due to lack of pressure. At this time, the trough 5 is in a higher position, and the water storage box 3 is also completely located in the water storage tank 2. The top of the water storage box 3 is higher than the top of the isolation section 21. When water from water tank 2 enters water storage box 3 and feed trough 5 is in a higher position, the connecting belt 12 pulls the pressure plate 4, causing the pressure plate 4 to deflect downwards. The rotating connecting shaft of pressure plate 4 causes the connecting rod 6 to pull the door panel 7 to close. At this time, pigs cannot enter the base 1. When the feeding device 8 releases feed at regular intervals, the feed is scattered into feed trough 5 under the guidance of the guide plate 52. The weight of 1.5-3.5 kg of feed per meal for adult pigs significantly increases the overall weight of feed trough 5. When feed trough 5 is under pressure, the support rod 10 shortens, the position of feed trough 5 moves downwards, and at the same time, the locking block 5... 1. Pull the connecting block 31 and lower the water storage box 3. After the water storage box 3 is lowered, its bottom extends out from the isolation section 21, and the top of the water storage box 3 descends into the isolation section 21, so that the water inside the water storage tank 2 will not enter the water storage box 3. The water stored in the water storage box 3 will be discharged from the bottom into the feeding trough 5 to achieve dry and wet mixing of feed. At the same time as the feeding trough 5 is lowered, the connecting belt 12 slides on the fixed pulley 11 and lifts the pressure plate 4. When the pressure plate 4 is lifted, its rotating shaft deflects and the connecting rod 6 moves to open the door 7. At this time, the pig enters the base 1 to eat. When feeding, the pig steps on the pressure plate 4, causing the pressure plate 4 to deflect. This pulls the connecting rod 6 to close the door panel 7. When the pig is feeding, its head is above the feeding trough 5, so that even if the feed inside the feeding trough 5 decreases, it will not move upwards. After the pig finishes eating, it leaves the feeding trough 5 and approaches the door panel 7, then moves away from the pressure plate 4. The operator can press down on the feeding trough 5 through the operating plate 54 to open the door panel 7 and let the pig out. The pig can also push the door panel 7 outwards to open the door panel 7. When the feeding trough 5 needs to be cleaned, the operator can deflect the feeding trough 5 outwards through the operating plate 54 to pour out the residue inside the feeding trough 5 or rinse it with water.
