Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of breeding, and particularly relates to a feeding device for piglets. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the pig breeding industry, due to the high yield of sows, the breast milk cannot meet the needs of the piglets' independent growth. Only by supplementary feeding can the growth of piglets be better maintained. Generally, it is necessary to manually mix milk for piglets 4-6 times a day. The specific operation method is as follows: First, take out a dry and clean bucket according to the milk powder instruction manual, add an appropriate amount of milk powder and warm water into the bucket, stir evenly with a stirring spoon, and then pour it into the feeding troughs of each pigsty in sequence. Repeat this action 4-6 times a day to supply milk to the piglets and ensure sufficient nutrition for the piglets.

[0003] The disadvantage of manual feeding is that there are a large number of piglets and many pigsties in the pig farm. Repeating this action every day results in a very high labor intensity for the breeders and a very low work efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a feeding device for piglets to solve the problems of very high labor intensity and very low work efficiency in the existing manual feeding.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A feeding device for piglets includes a container and a pig feeding trough arranged on one side of the container; a discharge pipe communicating with the inside of the container is arranged on the container, and the discharge pipe is communicated with the pig feeding trough through a feeding pipe; a valve for controlling the opening and closing of the feeding pipe is arranged on the feeding pipe; a negative pressure pump is arranged on the discharge pipe.

[0007] In this technical solution, it should be noted that a top cover is arranged on the top of the container, and a heater is arranged inside it. The heater is used to heat the solution. One end of the discharge pipe is communicated with the container, and the other end is communicated with the feed inlet of the negative pressure pump. The discharge outlet of the negative pressure pump is communicated with the feeding pipe. In this solution, when feeding the piglets, first open the top cover of the container, add a certain amount of solution into the container, then cover the top cover, heat the solution through the heater. When it is heated to a certain temperature, open the valve and start the negative pressure pump. The negative pressure pump provides negative pressure to introduce the solution in the container into the pig feeding trough through the discharge pipe and the feeding pipe. To sum up, in the utility model, the solution is automatically added into the pig feeding trough through the negative pressure pump, which is convenient to operate, reduces manual labor, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency. In addition, the feeding device of the utility model has a simple structure design and is convenient to clean.

[0008] Preferably, a partitioning device is provided in the pig feeder trough. The partitioning device includes a sleeve which is vertically arranged in the middle of the pig feeder trough. A plurality of partitions are provided on the side wall of the sleeve, and the plurality of partitions are equidistantly spaced along the circumferential direction of the sleeve. An eating space is formed between two adjacent partitions. An opening is provided through the partition.

[0009] In this technical solution, it should be noted that since there is more than one piglet, piglets are prone to food competition when eating, resulting in insufficient food intake for individual piglets. Based on this, the utility model is provided with a sleeve and a plurality of partitions. A single piglet can eat between two adjacent partitions, so that each piglet can be separated to prevent food competition. Further, since an opening is provided on the partition in the utility model, the weight of the partition is reduced and materials are saved.

[0010] Preferably, the partitioning device further includes a column which is arranged in the middle of the pig feeder trough, and the sleeve is sleeved on the side wall of the column.

[0011] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the column serves as a supporting component for the installation of the sleeve. Since the sleeve is sleeved on the column, when the sleeve needs to be disinfected, cleaned or replaced, the sleeve can be directly removed from the column, which is convenient and fast.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the column is threadedly connected to the pig feeder trough. A knob is provided at the top of the column.

[0013] In this technical solution, it should be noted that since the column is threadedly connected to the pig feeder trough, it is convenient to disassemble the column. The setting of the knob facilitates the staff to pull the column.

[0014] Preferably, there are a plurality of pig feeder troughs, and the plurality of pig feeder troughs are respectively communicated with the discharge pipe through a plurality of feeding pipes.

[0015] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the provision of a plurality of pig feeder troughs can feed more piglets.

[0016] Preferably, it further includes a frame. The container is arranged on the top of the frame, and the negative pressure pump is arranged inside the frame.

[0017] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the frame is made of stainless steel. The container is installed on the frame through a quick-release nut, and the negative pressure pump is fixed on the frame through bolts.

[0018] Preferably, a controller and a timer are further provided on one side of the container, and the controller is electrically connected to the timer and the negative pressure pump respectively.

[0019] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the timer is used for timing, that is, the staff can set the interval time for feeding the piglets each time through the timer. In addition, there is also a button on the frame, and the amount of food each piglet eats each time can be input through the button. Through the automated structural design, it only needs to calculate the amount of milk the piglets in the pigsty ingest on the same day, put it into the milk container, and set the time interval and milk release time through the timer. This feeding device is economical and practical, easy to operate, reduces labor, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency.

[0020] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. In the present utility model, the solution is automatically added to the pig feeder through a negative pressure pump, which is easy to operate, reduces labor, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency. In addition, the feeding device of the present utility model has a simple structural design and is easy to clean;

[0022] 2. In the present utility model, there are sleeves and several partitions. The space between two adjacent partitions allows a single piglet to eat, so that each piglet can be separated to prevent food grabbing. Further, since there are openings on the partitions in the present utility model, the weight of the partitions is reduced and materials are saved;

[0023] 3. In the present utility model, the timer is used for timing, that is, the staff can set the interval time for feeding the piglets each time through the timer. In addition, there is also a button on the frame, and the amount of food each piglet eats each time can be input through the button. Through the automated structural design, it only needs to calculate the amount of milk the piglets in the pigsty ingest on the same day, put it into the milk container, and set the time interval and milk release time through the control system. It only needs to be operated once a day. This feeding device is economical and practical, easy to operate, reduces labor, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency.
