Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of breeding equipment, and in particular to a double-feed mixed feeding line for a pig farm. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the breeding industry, livestock and poultry breeding has developed from the original small-scale breeding by farmers to large-scale centralized breeding. In the process of large-scale centralized breeding, the demand for nutrients in the feed gradually changes with the increase of age. By using different feeds in stages according to the age of the pigs, the nutritional level of the feed changes with the growth needs of the pigs, which can improve the utilization rate of feed nutrients, improve the growth performance of pigs, and reduce the waste of feed protein and energy. However, since the finer the stage is divided, the more varieties of feed are needed, it is more difficult in the actual operation process. At present, commercial pig feed is usually divided into only 4 to 6 varieties, which causes some waste of feed and feed change stress.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the market generally adopts the use of feeds of two different stages, and prepares feeds with different nutritional levels by changing the mixing ratio of the two feeds for feeding. Patent No. CN213246303U discloses a dual-feed mixing feeder for pig farms, which can control the mixing of two feeds in any proportion by controlling the number of rotations of two spring augers; Patent No. CN216601221U discloses a precise mixing feeding system for pig growth stages, which controls the mixing ratio of the two feeds by adjusting the openings of two feed bins; Patent No. CN208095627U discloses a dual-bin mixed feeding device, which is also an improvement on the existing pig feeder, enriching its functions so that it can mix and feed two feeds in proportion.

[0004] Although the solutions given in the above patents can meet the feeding of each pen of pigs according to different nutritional needs, there are situations where two sets of feed conveying lines are required in the pig house, and each pen needs to be equipped with a dedicated feeder, which greatly increases the equipment investment cost and operation complexity. Combined with the current background of large-scale pig farms adopting batch production, the market needs a pig farm mixed feeding line with low investment cost and simple equipment operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce investment costs and reduce the complexity of equipment operation, the present application provides a double-feed mixed feeding line for a pig farm.

[0006] The present application provides a pig farm double-feed mixed feeding line adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A double-material mixed feeding line for a pig farm comprises a feed tower and a feed conveying mechanism. The feed tower comprises a first feed tower and a second feed tower. The first feed tower and the second feed tower are arranged in parallel and both have discharge ports at their bottoms. The discharge ports are connected to the feed conveying mechanism.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, since large pig farms all adopt batch production, the age difference of pigs in each pen is almost within one week. Therefore, the feeds of different stages are mixed together and then transported to the pig house for feeding, which can significantly simplify the equipment; by utilizing the feed conveying mechanism to mix and transfer the feeds in the first feed tower and the second feed tower, it is helpful to reduce the feed conveying lines, reduce investment costs, and reduce the complexity of equipment operation.

When the alarm sounds, it means that there is insufficient feed in the first feed tower or the second feed tower, which makes it easier for the staff to add and replenish the first feed tower or the second feed tower.

[0020] In a specific implementation manner, the first feed tower and the second feed tower are provided with a tower cover, a driving motor is provided in the tower cover, the driving motor is connected to a stirring shaft, and the stirring shaft is provided with a plurality of stirring rods for stirring the feed.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving motor is used to rotate the stirring shaft, thereby driving a plurality of stirring rods to rotate simultaneously, so that the feed in the first feed tower and the second feed tower can be stirred to reach the discharge port more easily, reducing the phenomenon of clogging in the tower due to overfilling of feed.

The first feed tower 1 and the second feed tower 2 are arranged in parallel, and the bottom ends thereof are both provided with a discharge port 4, which is connected to the feed conveying mechanism 3. The feed conveying mechanism 3 includes an auger 31, a feed conveying line 32 and a plurality of feeders 33, wherein the auger 31 is provided with a first feed port 5 and a first discharge port 6, the feed conveying line 32 is provided with a second feed port 7 and a second discharge port 8, the first feed port 5 is connected to the discharge port 4, the first discharge port 6 is connected to the second feed port 7, and the second discharge port 8 is connected to a plurality of feeders 33.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first feed tower 1 and the second feed tower 2 are both provided with a discharge valve 9 at the discharge port 4. In this embodiment, the discharge valve 9 is a star-shaped discharge valve. The outer wall of the discharge port 4 is provided with a power motor 10, wherein the power motor 10 is connected to the axis of the discharge valve 9. When the power motor 10 is started, the power motor 10 drives the discharge valve 9 to rotate, so that the feed in the first feed tower 1 and the second feed tower 2 falls into the auger 31 through the discharge valve 9, meeting the need for most feed towers to be installed without modification. The auger 31 is then used to transport and mix the feed in a straight line, and the mixed feed is transported to the vicinity of the pig house through the feed conveyor line 32, and then fed into the feeder 33 through the second discharge port 8, thereby completing the mixing and feeding steps while meeting the pig's needs for different nutrients, which is conducive to reducing feed conveyor lines, while reducing investment costs and reducing the complexity of equipment operation.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the auger 31 adopts a paddle-type U-shaped metal auger, which is conducive to the mixing of the two feeds and the cleaning of the auger 31 after use; the feed conveying line 32 in this embodiment adopts an auger feed line or a plug tray feed line, wherein the auger feed line is suitable for a single pig house without turning, and is used in the nursery house in this embodiment; the plug tray feed line is suitable for a single or multiple pig houses with multiple lines, and is used in the farrowing house in this embodiment.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The first feed tower 1 and the second feed tower 2 are both provided with a weighing sensor 11, which is used to detect the remaining feed in the first feed tower 1 and the second feed tower 2. The weighing sensor 11 and the discharge valve 9 are connected to a control system 12. When it is necessary to prepare feeds with different nutritional levels for feeding, firstly input the age of the current batch of pigs and the nutritional component data of the feeds in the two feed towers into the control system 12, and then calculate the nutritional needs of the corresponding feeds through the control system 12, and calculate the mixing ratio; when the mixing ratio is obtained, the weighing sensors 11 of the first feed tower 1 and the second feed tower 2 are used to count the feeds in the towers, and at the same time, the rotation speed of the discharge valve 9 is adjusted, so that the two feeds are mixed and transported according to the set mixing ratio, thereby meeting the pigs' needs for different kinds of nutrients.
