Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of feeder structures, in particular to an intelligent piglet feeder. Background Art

[0002] In animal husbandry, especially in the piglet rearing stage, eating creep feed in moderation during the lactation period can help piglets obtain higher weaning weight and adapt to solid feed faster. Therefore, reasonable feed supplementation is crucial to promote piglet growth. Traditional manual feeding methods have problems such as high labor intensity, uneven feeding, and feed waste. In order to solve the above problems, a variety of automatic feeders have been developed. The feeding components in the feeder can accurately control the feeding amount, thereby achieving accurate feeding of piglets.

[0003] However, existing automatic feeders usually use single-layer feeding, and feed is easily accumulated at the feeding port. When the feed is discharged, there is friction and adhesion between the feed and the inner wall of the feeding port, resulting in the formation of a dome at the feeding port, which blocks the feeding port and makes discharge difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an intelligent piglet feeder, which has a double-layer feeding structure and two feeding ports which are staggered. When feed falls from the upper layer, the lower layer space will not be completely filled, so that the feed can be fed in and out in an orderly manner and no accumulation is formed at the feeding port, thereby effectively preventing the feed from arching.

[0005] The above-mentioned optimized structure of the utility model is realized by the following technical scheme: an intelligent piglet feeder, comprising a fixed frame, a feed barrel is arranged on the fixed frame, a feeding assembly is arranged in the feed barrel, a feed trough is arranged at the bottom of the feed barrel, the feeding assembly comprises a feeding motor, a feeding rod is arranged on the output shaft of the feeding motor, the feeding rod extends to the feeding port of the feed barrel, and a first material shifting piece and a second material shifting piece are arranged at the bottom of the feeding rod;

[0006] The material discharge port of the material barrel is provided with a material discharge barrel, the top of the material discharge barrel is provided with the first material shifting piece, the material discharge barrel is provided with the second material shifting piece, and the first material shifting piece, the second material shifting piece and the material discharge barrel form a double-layer material discharge structure.

[0007] In some embodiments, the discharge barrel includes a first discharge disc, a discharge ring is provided at the bottom of the first discharge disc, a second discharge disc is provided inside the discharge ring, the first discharge disc is symmetrically provided with two first discharge ports, the second discharge disc is symmetrically provided with two second discharge ports, the first material shifting piece is provided above the first discharge disc, and the second material shifting piece is provided between the first discharge disc and the second discharge disc.

[0008] In some embodiments, a support frame is provided in the barrel, and the unloading motor is provided on the support frame.

[0009] In some embodiments, the symmetry axis between the two first discharge ports is perpendicular to the symmetry axis between the two second discharge ports.

[0010] In some embodiments, a boss is provided in the middle of the material trough, and the boss is provided below the discharge port of the material barrel.

[0011] In some embodiments, a downpipe is provided on the fixing frame, and the water outlet direction of the downpipe is toward the material trough.

[0012] In some embodiments, the fixing frame includes two symmetrically arranged fixing rods, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material trough. The fixing rods are provided with parallel limiting plates and fixing plates on the side close to the material barrel, and the baffle assembly is provided between the limiting plate and the fixing plate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the baffle assembly includes two symmetrically arranged baffles, the baffles are inserted between the limit plate and the fixed plate, a fixing ring is provided between the two baffles, and the bottom of the barrel is inserted in the fixing ring; a bending plate is provided between the two baffles and the two side walls of the barrel.

[0014] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The utility model arranges a feeding cylinder at the bottom of the barrel, and arranges a feeding assembly inside the barrel. The feeding assembly cooperates with the feeding cylinder to form a double-layer feeding structure. The two feeding openings are staggered. When feed falls from the upper layer, the lower layer space will not be completely filled, so that the feed can be orderly fed in and out, and no accumulation is formed at the feeding opening, thereby effectively preventing the feed from bulging. At the same time, the resistance of the paddle when scraping the material can be reduced, so that the scraping is more thorough and without residue. The double-layer feeding structure extends the feeding path of the feed, thereby having a locking function, and can prevent piglets from playing and arching the feed to cause the feed to fall during the non-feeding period, thereby causing feed waste. The boss structure is used to promote uniform distribution of the feed in the trough, thereby reducing waste. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
