Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent supplemental milk device for piglets and a feeding method. Background Technology

[0002] High-yield breeding pigs are widely used in China, with high-yield sows accounting for over 70% of the total. Leading pig companies have a PSY (pigs weaned per sow per year) of over 27, significantly increasing sow litter size. However, sows have limited milk production capacity, resulting in an average of 2-3 piglets per pen suffering from chronic milk shortages. This leads to: piglets competing for milk and resulting in injuries, a high number of weak piglets, a high rate of diarrhea, low survival rates, and poor growth uniformity.

[0003] To address this issue, supplemental feeding is commonly required in pig farms. Current supplemental feeding methods include manual milk preparation and feeding, using nipple-type feeding devices, central supplemental feeding systems, and pre-made milk bucket supplemental feeding systems. Manual milk preparation and feeding offers the advantage of relatively uniform feeding, but its disadvantages include low efficiency, high labor costs, low feeding frequency, and inability to achieve large-scale, stable feeding. Nipple-type feeding devices, such as those described in application number "CN200520008930.8" ("A Piglet Feeder and its Dispensing Device"), offer the advantage of lower price, but disadvantages include easily damaged nipples, significant milk waste from piglets playing with the milk, and difficulty in accurately controlling the intake per piglet. Central supplemental feeding systems offer the advantage of large single-unit supply, but disadvantages include high equipment price, complex installation, long pipelines, and difficult cleaning and maintenance, making them unsuitable for small and medium-sized pig farms. Pre-made milk bucket supplemental feeding systems offer the advantage of simple operation, but disadvantages include the pre-made milk being prone to spoilage over time, inability to accurately control the quantity, and a tendency to cause diarrhea in piglets and feed waste.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this application include at least the following:

[0031] This application discloses an intelligent supplemental milk device for piglets, including a supplemental milk machine main unit and a feeding trough assembly. When the device is working, milk flows from the supplemental milk machine main unit into the feeding trough assembly. Specifically, the main unit of the milk powder supplement machine includes a main body, a milk powder tank assembly, a water tank assembly, a mixing tank assembly, and an intelligent control module. The milk powder processed by the milk powder tank assembly and the water processed by the water tank assembly are thoroughly and evenly mixed in the mixing tank assembly. The anti-caking mechanism in the milk powder tank assembly includes an anti-caking rod, an anti-caking blade, and an anti-caking motor. The anti-caking rod and the anti-caking blade are fixedly connected and rotate under the drive of the anti-caking motor to prevent milk powder from clumping and blocking the feed. The spiral feeding shaft in the milk powder tank assembly rotates under the drive of the feeding motor, causing a measured amount of milk powder to fall from the milk powder feeding port into the mixing tank assembly. A fan assembly is installed between the milk powder feeding port and the feed inlet of the mixing tank assembly. The fan assembly is activated when hot water from the water tank assembly enters the mixing tank to disperse the rising hot air, preventing the milk powder from clumping due to moisture and clogging the feeding port. A protective cover for the feeding port prevents insects from entering the mixing tank, and its perforated design facilitates the exhaust of moisture by the fan assembly. After milk powder and hot water are evenly mixed in the mixing tank assembly to form milk liquid, it flows out from the outlet of the mixing tank assembly and flows sequentially through the filter assembly, the mixing tank delivery pump, and the solenoid valve tee. The milk liquid is then transported to the feeding trough assembly through a delivery pipe, which is typically a flexible hose. A guide pipe is installed outside the delivery pipe to guide the flexible hose to the center of the feeding trough. The feeding trough assembly is divided into multiple feeding positions to effectively prevent pigs from competing for food. The feeding trough assembly is equipped with a heat preservation module and a drain outlet. The heat preservation module maintains the milk liquid temperature. The drain outlet is connected to the cleaning assembly, which includes a feeding trough pump and a feeding trough filter. During the equipment cleaning process, the system uses hot water to flush the mixing tank assembly, delivery pipe, and feeding trough assembly. Residual material is discharged through the drain outlet of the feeding trough assembly. During this process, the feeding trough pump is activated to quickly discharge residual milk liquid, and the feeding trough filter is installed in the feeding trough groove to filter milk residue and prevent clogging of the drain outlet.

[0052] Example

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, an intelligent supplemental milk device for piglets is proposed, the structure of which includes a supplemental milk machine main unit 100 and a feeding trough assembly 200; the supplemental milk machine main unit 100 is connected to the feeding trough assembly 200; the supplemental milk machine main unit 100 includes a main body 110, a milk powder tank assembly 120, a water tank assembly 130, a mixing tank assembly 140, and an intelligent control module 150; the milk powder tank assembly 120, the water tank assembly 130, the mixing tank assembly 140, and the intelligent control module 150 are all disposed inside the main body 110, and the milk powder tank assembly 120, the water tank assembly 130, and the mixing tank assembly 140 are electrically connected to the intelligent control module 150 respectively;

[0054] The mixing tank assembly 140 is provided with a feed inlet 141, a water inlet 142, and a discharge outlet 143. A mixing device 144 is provided inside the mixing tank. The discharge outlet 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140 is connected to the feeding trough assembly 200.

[0055] The milk powder container assembly 120 is provided with a milk powder hopper 121 and a milk powder inlet 122. The milk powder hopper 121 and the milk powder inlet 122 are connected. The milk powder inlet 122 is positioned opposite to the feed inlet 141 of the mixing tank assembly 140.

[0056] The water tank assembly 130 is provided with an inlet 131 and an outlet 132. The inlet 131 is connected to an external water source, and the outlet 132 is connected to the inlet 142 of the mixing tank. A heating module is provided inside the water tank assembly 130.

[0057] Specifically, the milk powder processed by the milk powder hopper 121 of the milk powder hopper assembly 120 enters the mixing tank through the milk powder discharge port 122 and the inlet 141 of the mixing tank assembly 140. External water flows into the water tank assembly 130 through the water inlet 131. The hot water processed by the water tank assembly 130 flows out through the water outlet 132 of the water tank assembly 130 and enters the mixing tank through the inlet 142 of the mixing tank. The milk powder and hot water are fully mixed by the stirring device 144 in the mixing tank assembly 140 to form milk liquid.

[0058] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a spiral feeding shaft 123 is provided inside the milk powder tank assembly 120, and the spiral feeding shaft 123 is connected to the output end of the feeding motor 124.

[0059] Specifically, the spiral feeding shaft 123 in the milk powder tank assembly 120 rotates under the drive of the feeding motor 124, causing the milk powder to fall quantitatively from the milk powder feeding port 122 into the mixing tank assembly 140.

[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the milk powder container assembly 120 is equipped with an arch-breaking mechanism; the arch-breaking mechanism includes an arch-breaking rod 125, an arch-breaking leaf 126, and an arch-breaking motor 127; the arch-breaking rod 125 is fixedly connected to the arch-breaking leaf 126, and the arch-breaking rod 125 is connected to the output end of the arch-breaking motor 127.

[0061] Specifically, the arch-breaking rod 125 and the arch-breaking leaf 126 are fixedly connected. The arch-breaking rod 125 and the arch-breaking leaf 126 rotate under the drive of the arch-breaking motor 127 to prevent milk powder from clumping and blocking the feeding.

[0062] like Figure 3As shown, the milk powder inlet 122 of the milk powder tank assembly 120 and the inlet 141 of the mixing tank assembly 140 are separated by a certain distance.

[0063] A fan assembly 111 is provided between the milk powder inlet 122 and the inlet 141 of the mixing tank assembly 140. The fan outlet surface of the fan assembly 111 is perpendicular to the cross-section of the milk powder inlet 122. A discharge port protective cover 112 is provided on the main body 110, and the discharge port protective cover 112 is opposite to the fan assembly 111. The discharge port protective cover 112 is hollow.

[0064] Specifically, a fan assembly 111 is provided between the milk powder inlet 122 and the feed inlet 141 of the mixing tank assembly 140. The fan assembly 111 is used to turn on when hot water from the water tank assembly 130 enters the mixing tank to blow away the upward hot air and prevent the milk powder inlet 122 from clumping due to moisture and clogging the milk powder inlet 122. The feed inlet protective cover 112 is used to prevent mosquitoes from entering the mixing tank, and the hollow design makes it easy for the fan assembly 111 to discharge moisture.

[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the discharge port 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140 is connected to the mixing tank delivery pump 145, and the mixing tank delivery pump 145 is connected to the feed trough assembly 200.

[0066] Specifically, after the milk powder and hot water are mixed evenly in the mixing tank assembly 140 to form milk liquid, the milk liquid flows out from the discharge port 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140 and then flows into the feeding trough assembly 200.

[0067] like Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the mixing tank assembly 140 includes a stirring device 144 and a stirring motor 148, with the stirring device 144 connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor 148.

[0068] Specifically, driven by the stirring motor 148, the stirring device 144 mixes the milk powder processed by the milk powder tank assembly 120 and the hot water processed by the water tank assembly 130 evenly to form milk liquid.

[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the mixing tank delivery pump 145 is connected to the solenoid valve assembly 146, and the solenoid valve assembly 146 is connected to the feed trough assembly 200.

[0070] Specifically, after the milk powder and hot water are mixed evenly in the mixing tank assembly 140 to form milk liquid, the milk liquid flows out from the outlet 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140, flows sequentially through the mixing tank delivery pump 145 and the solenoid valve assembly 146, and then is transported to the feeding tank assembly 200 through the delivery pipe. The solenoid valve assembly 146 is used to control the flow of milk liquid.

[0071] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 10 As shown, the solenoid valve assembly 146 is a three-way valve. The inlet end of the solenoid valve three-way valve is connected to the outlet 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140, and the outlet end of the solenoid valve three-way valve is connected to the feed trough assembly 200 through a conveying pipe.

[0072] Specifically, milk flows from the outlet 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140 into the inlet of the solenoid valve three-way component, and then flows out from the outlet of the solenoid valve three-way component into the feeding trough assembly 200. The solenoid valve three-way component can control the flow of milk at the two outlets, allowing the milk to flow out in equal or different amounts at both outlets, including a zero flow rate.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 As shown, there are two feeding trough assemblies 200, and the two outlet ends of the solenoid valve three-way fitting are connected to the two feeding trough assemblies 200 respectively; the feeding trough assembly 200 is equipped with a heat preservation module and a drain outlet 210.

[0074] Specifically, one milk supplement machine main unit 100 corresponds to two feeding trough assemblies 200. Milk flows from the discharge port 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140 into the inlet end of the solenoid valve three-way component, and then flows out from the two outlet ends of the solenoid valve three-way component into the corresponding feeding trough assembly 200.

[0075] Each feeding trough assembly 200 is equipped with a heat preservation module and a drain outlet 210. The heat preservation module includes a heating wire located at the bottom of the feeding trough to maintain the temperature of the milk in the feeding trough assembly 200, preventing low-temperature milk from causing diarrhea in piglets. The drain outlet 210 is used to drain residual milk.

[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 As shown, the drain outlet 210 of the feed trough assembly 200 is connected to the cleaning assembly.

[0077] The cleaning assembly includes a feed trough pump and a feed trough filter, with the feed trough pump mounted on the base plate of the feed trough assembly 200.

[0078] Specifically, when the equipment cleaning process is performed, the system uses hot water to rinse the mixing tank assembly 140, the conveying pipeline, and the feeding trough assembly 200. The residual material is discharged through the drain port 210 of the feeding trough assembly 200. During this process, the feeding trough pump of the feeding trough assembly 200 is turned on to quickly discharge the residual milk. The feeding trough filter is installed in the feeding trough groove to filter the milk residue and prevent the discharge from clogging.

[0079] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 As shown, the feeding trough assembly 200 is divided into multiple feeding positions 230.

[0080] Specifically, the feeding trough assembly 200 is divided into multiple feeding positions 230, which can effectively prevent pigs from fighting for food and avoid uneven growth of piglets.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, the discharge port 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140 is connected to the filter assembly 147, and the filter assembly 147 is connected to the feed trough assembly 200.

[0082] Specifically, after the milk powder and hot water are mixed evenly in the mixing tank assembly 140 to form milk liquid, it flows out from the outlet 143 of the mixing tank assembly 140, and flows sequentially through the filter assembly 147, the mixing tank delivery pump 145, and the solenoid valve three-way valve, and then the milk liquid is transported to the feeding tank assembly 200 through the delivery pipe. Among them, the filter assembly 147 is used to filter impurities and prevent clogging.

[0083] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an electrical box 160 is also installed inside the main unit body 110. The electrical box 160 is electrically connected to the milk powder tank assembly 120, the water tank assembly 130, the mixing tank assembly 140, and the intelligent control module 150. A PLC screen 151 is installed on the main unit body 110.

[0084] Specifically, the electrical box 160 provides power to the control circuits of the milk powder tank assembly 120, water tank assembly 130, mixing tank assembly 140, and intelligent control module 150; the operator can set parameters of the milk supplement machine host 100 through the PLC screen 151.

[0085] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 As shown, a guide pipe 240 is provided outside the delivery pipe connecting the main unit 100 of the milk supplement machine and the feeding trough assembly 200.

[0086] Specifically, the milk transport pipe is generally a flexible hose. After a guide pipe 240 is installed outside the transport pipe, the guide pipe 240 is used to guide the transport hose to the center of the feed trough.

[0087] A feeding method for a smart supplemental milk device for piglets includes the following steps:

[0088] S1, Equipment preparation: First, clean the intelligent supplemental milk equipment for piglets. Control the water tank assembly 130 to take in water through the intelligent control module 150. The water flows through the mixing tank, conveying pipe and feeding trough assembly 200 in sequence. Then, the feeding trough assembly 200 is left empty for at least 24 hours.

[0089] S2, Equipment debugging: The intelligent control module 150 controls the feeding trough assembly 200 to turn on the heat preservation module, and controls the heating module of the water tank assembly 130 to set the milk mixing temperature, controls the mixing tank assembly 140 and the water tank assembly 130 to set the milk-to-water ratio, and controls the water tank assembly 130 and the solenoid valve assembly 146 to set the automatic cleaning frequency.

The mixed milk is then transported to the feed trough assembly 200.

[0091] S4, Equipment cleaning: The heating module of the water tank assembly 130 is turned on, and the system supplies hot water to rinse the mixing tank assembly 140, the conveying pipeline, and the feeding trough assembly 200.
