For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Example:

[0030] A feeding trough for pig breeding, comprising a bottom plate 1, a box body 2 and a tilting component 7, wherein the box body 2 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom plate 1, a plurality of feed inlets are provided on the inner top wall of the box body 2, and an equal number of through holes are provided on the bottom of the box body 2 corresponding to the feed inlets;

[0031] The bottom of the feed port is connected with a connecting pipe 3, the bottom surface of the connecting pipe 3 is connected with a material holding box 4, a blocking component 6 is provided at the bottom outlet of the material holding box 4, the tilting component 7 is provided outside the material holding box 4, the blocking component 6 passes through the wall of the material holding box 4 and is connected with the tilting component 7, a discharge hopper 8 is connected to the bottom of the tilting component 7, the discharge hopper 8 is connected to the bottom plate 1 through an elastic component 9, part of the discharge hopper 8 passes through the through hole and is provided outside the box body 2, a weight sensor 10 is provided on the bottom surface of the blocking component 6, and a warning light 11 is provided on the end surface of the box body 2 corresponding to the weight sensor 10, and the warning light 11 is electrically connected to the weight sensor 10.

[0032] It is explained that the bottom outlet of the feed box 4 is closed by a blocking component 6 to ensure that when the staff pours the feed, the feed will not enter the discharge hopper 8 below. When feeding, the staff can set the threshold of the weight sensor 10 according to the dietary needs of the piglets at different growth stages. When the feed enters the feed box 4 through the feed hopper 12 and the weight of the feed reaches the preset threshold, the staff can judge whether the amount of feed poured is appropriate by observing the signal of the prompt light 11. This operation mode not only reduces the manual operation time, but also shortens the batching cycle, making the feed distribution more efficient. In addition, by accurately controlling the amount of feed, waste can be reduced, the efficiency of feed use can be improved, and costs can be reduced.

[0033] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figure 1 The upper end of the feed port is connected to a feed hopper 12, and the upper port area of ​​the feed hopper 12 is larger than the lower port area. The above design can facilitate the staff to pour the feed. When pouring the feed on the wall, the feed will spill out, causing unnecessary waste.

[0034] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The bottom outlet of the feeding box 4 is also connected to a guide pipe 5, and the bottom of the guide pipe 5 extends to the inner cavity of the discharge hopper 8. When the staff pours the feed into the feeding box 4, the piglets stand on the discharge hopper 8 and squeeze the elastic component 9 by their own weight, and then lift the blocking component 6 through the tilting component 7, so that the feed flows along the guide pipe 5 into the discharge hopper 8 for the piglets to eat.

[0035] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figure 1-Figure 6 The blocking component 6 includes a connecting block 61, a column 62 and a blocking plate 63. The connecting block 61 is connected to the tilting component 7. One end of the column 62 is connected to the bottom surface of the connecting block 61, and the other end of the column 62 is connected to the top surface of the blocking plate 63, and the blocking plate 63 is located at the interface between the material holding box 4 and the guide pipe 5. The tilting component 7 includes an L-shaped fixing plate 71, a rocker plate 72 and a support shaft 73. The support shaft 73 is fixed in a mounting hole opened on the wall of the material holding box 4. The rocker plate 72 is sleeved on the outside of the support shaft 73. One end of the rocker plate 72 is connected to the connecting block 61, and the other end of the rocker plate 72 is connected to the long side of the L-shaped fixing plate 71. The short side of the L-shaped fixing plate 71 is connected to the discharge hopper 8.

[0036] It is explained that when feeding, the piglets stand on the discharge hopper 8 and squeeze the elastic component 9 through their own weight, so that the discharge hopper 8 moves downward, and then the seesaw 72 is driven downward through the L-shaped fixed plate 71. By utilizing the seesaw principle, the blocking component 6 connected to the other end of the seesaw 72 is lifted, and then the feed in the feed box 4 falls into the discharge hopper 8 along the guide pipe 5.

[0037] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figure 1-Figure 6 The elastic component 9 is a spring, and the spring is arranged in a linear array in the receiving groove opened on the top surface of the bottom plate 1. The front section of the inner cavity of the discharge hopper 8 is configured as an inclined inner cavity for easy feed sliding down, and the rear section of the discharge hopper 8 is configured as a horizontal inner cavity to prevent feed from sliding down. The use of a spring can facilitate piglets to step on and facilitate the rebound of the discharge hopper 8 to the greatest extent.

[0038] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
