Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a feeding device for nursery and fattening pigs. Background Art

[0002] Nursery pigs are small and mostly feed in groups, so they require much more feeding spaces than adult pigs. Currently, one feeder corresponds to one feeding trough. During the feeding process, nursery pigs will compete for food, which will not only affect the feeding comfort and efficiency, but also make weak pigs unable to eat effectively, affecting the growth of the entire pig herd. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a feeding device for nursery and fattening pigs, which is used to solve the problem that nursery pigs compete for feeding in a single feeding trough, affecting feeding comfort and feeding efficiency.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0005] A feeding device for nursery and fattening pigs includes a bracket, on which a hopper, a multi-way pipe and multiple feeding troughs are installed. The hopper is connected to each feeding trough through the multi-way pipe. A discharger is installed at the lower end of the hopper. Multiple sewer pipes are connected to the multi-way pipe. The water outlets of the sewer pipes are located in the feeding trough. A flow meter and a solenoid valve are installed on the sewer pipes. An induction probe is provided in the feeding trough. The device also includes a controller, the flow meter and the induction probe are connected to the controller input end, and the solenoid valve and the discharger are connected to the controller output end.

[0006] The three-way pipe includes a main pipe and multiple branch pipes. The branch pipes are connected to the feeding trough. An arch-breaking mechanism is provided in the branch pipe. The arch-breaking mechanism includes an arch-breaking rod and a screw installed at the upper end of the branch pipe. A sleeve is arranged on the screw. The upper end of the arch-breaking rod is fixedly connected to the sleeve, and the lower end of the arch-breaking rod is exposed from the lower end of the branch pipe.

[0007] A water outlet cover is connected to the lower end of the sewer pipe. The water outlet cover is located below the branch pipe, and an arc-shaped water outlet is provided at one end of the water outlet cover facing the branch pipe.

[0008] The impeller blades in the discharger are made of rubber.

[0009] The bottom surface of the feeding trough is a curved surface.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0011] 1. The entire work process only requires one feeder to feed multiple feeding troughs, which solves the problem of pigs competing for food during the peak breeding period and saves a lot of manpower, material resources and breeding costs.

[0012] 2. The feeding method has been improved to impeller feeding, which has a faster feeding speed and is less likely to break the pellet feed during the feeding process. It is more efficient and can fill the trough with feed in a short time. At the same time, an arch breaking mechanism is set to effectively prevent powder blockage.

[0013] 3. The induction probe can detect the remaining feed amount and then provide feedback to the unloader on when to unload the feed, so that the pigs can eat fresh feed as much as possible during the feeding process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, a feeding device for nursery and fattening pigs includes a bracket 1, on which is mounted a hopper 2, a tee pipe, and multiple feeding troughs 7. The hopper 2 is connected to each feeding trough 7 via a multi-way pipe. A discharger 3 is mounted at the lower end of the hopper 2. Multiple downpipes 6 are connected to the multi-way pipe. The outlet of the downpipe 6 is located in the feeding trough 7. A flow meter 5 and a solenoid valve 4 are mounted on the downpipe 6. An induction probe 10 is provided in the feeding trough 7. The device also includes a controller. The flow meter 5 and the induction probe 10 are connected to the controller input, and the solenoid valve 4 and the discharger 3 are connected to the controller output. The discharger 3 includes a housing, in which an impeller 32 is mounted. The impeller 32 is in transmission connection with a stepper motor mounted on the housing. Because the blades of the impeller 32 are evenly distributed around the axis of the stepper motor, the volumes between the blades are equal. The controller transmits a specified number of pulses to the stepper motor to control the number of rotations of the impeller 32, thereby controlling the amount of material discharged by the discharger 3. The controller is a PLC controller, and the sensing probe 10 uses the "Zhongyi Zhilian LCT10 microwave level switch". The sensing probe 10 is used to detect the pig feed in the feeding trough 7 and send a signal to the controller to determine whether the pig feed level in the feeding trough 7 has been eaten up.

[0024] The working process of the present invention is as follows: the controller controls the unloader 3 to start and the solenoid valve 4 to open, the unloader 3 transports the feed to the three-way pipe, and the three-way pipe distributes the feed to each feeding trough 7. At the same time, the flow meter 5 measures the flow of drinking water. After the feed and drinking water reach the set amount, the controller controls the unloader 3 and the solenoid valve 4 to close. At this time, the water and feed are mixed into porridge according to the set ratio, and then the nursery pigs eat the porridge in each feeding trough 7. As they eat, the porridge in the feeding trough 7 also decreases. When the sensing probe 10 detects that the porridge is eaten up, the eating time is recorded. If the eating time is less than the preset time, it means that the feed is less than the required value. The next time the feed is put in, the amount of feed can be increased. If the eating time is greater than the preset time, the input amount is reduced.

[0025] The three-way pipe includes a main pipe and two branch pipes 11. The branch pipes 11 are connected to the feeding trough 7. An arch-breaking mechanism 9 is provided in the branch pipes 11. The arch-breaking mechanism 9 includes an arch-breaking rod 91 and a screw 93 installed at the upper end of the branch pipe 11. A sleeve 92 is provided on the screw 93. The upper end of the arch-breaking rod 91 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 92, and the lower end of the arch-breaking rod 91 is exposed from the lower end of the branch pipe 11. When the pigs eat the feed, they will arch against the arch-breaking rod 91, which will break the feed in the branch pipe 11 to prevent the feed from being blocked in the branch pipe 11.

[0026] A water outlet cover 8 is connected to the lower end of the downpipe 6. The water outlet cover 8 is located below the branch pipe 11. An arc-shaped water outlet 12 is provided at one end of the water outlet cover 8 facing the branch pipe 11. Water is pressurized and ejected from the arc-shaped water outlet 12 on the water outlet cover 8 to form a surface water spray, allowing the water to impact the feed falling from the branch pipe 11, so that the water and feed are mixed more fully.

[0027] The impeller 32 blades in the discharger 3 are made of rubber. The blades are made of rubber material, which is not easy to break the feed during the process of conveying pellet feed, with high efficiency and better feed integrity.

[0028] The bottom surface of the feeding trough 7 is a curved surface. This shape feeding trough 7 can avoid the problem of right-angled trough material accumulation to a great extent, and the water-material mixture can also evenly cover the bottom of the trough.

[0029] The contents described in the embodiments of this specification are merely an enumeration of the implementation forms of the utility model concept. The protection scope of the utility model should not be regarded as limited to the specific forms described in the embodiments. The protection scope of the utility model also extends to equivalent technical means that can be thought of by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the utility model.
