Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pig feeder technology, specifically relating to a shared feeder for sows and piglets in pig farms. Background Technology

[0002] In pig farms, dedicated feeding troughs are typically used to feed the pigs, ensuring each pig has a relatively fixed location to access food. This prevents chaos and fighting among the pigs while feeding, reducing the risk of fights and injuries caused by competing for food. The troughs also prevent feed from directly contacting the ground, minimizing the chance of feed contamination and lowering the risk of disease from contaminated feed. Currently, sows and piglets are usually fed separately using two troughs of different sizes. While this prevents sows from competing for piglet feed, the troughs are large, taking up considerable space in the pigpen and incurring high purchase costs. Furthermore, the larger sow troughs result in less space between the pigs' bodies and more space between their heads when several sows are feeding. When their heads are deeply engaged in the trough, there is still a significant amount of unused space, leading to a low trough space allocation rate and ineffective utilization. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a shared feeding trough for sows and piglets in pig farms, which solves the problem of sharing a feeding trough between sows and piglets and improves the utilization rate of the feeding trough space.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes a feeding trough body, an L-shaped baffle, and several first feed inclined baffles. Several piglet protective covers are installed on the inner wall of the feeding trough body. One end of each piglet protective cover is installed on one side of the L-shaped baffle. A partition plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough body. The partition plate is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped baffle. A discharge pipe is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped baffle. The partition plate communicates with the internal space of the corresponding piglet protective cover through the discharge pipe. Second feed inclined baffles are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of each of the several piglet protective covers. Two pressure sensing plates are installed on the inner wall of the bottom end of each of the several piglet protective covers. The pressure sensing plates correspond to the position of the piglet's foot.

[0005] The L-shaped baffle has several discharge ports and several inner grooves. Each inner groove has a sealing plate slidably connected to its inner wall. The sealing plate corresponds to the position and size of the discharge port. The inner wall of the sealing plate is threaded with a screw, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped baffle.

[0006] Among them, several of the inner walls of the piglet protective covers are slidably connected with barrier frames, and the barrier frames are positioned higher than the second feed inclined baffle.

[0007] The inner wall of the piglet protective cover is slidably connected to a pull rod, and a slider connected to the pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of the barrier frame. A handle is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod, and the handle is in contact with one end of the piglet protective cover.

[0008] The pull rod sidewall is fitted with a return spring, which pushes the barrier frame.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by utilizing the space between the heads of two sows through the piglet protective cover, the space utilization rate is increased and the waste of feeding trough space is reduced; the piglet protective cover separates the piglets and sows for feeding, and protects the piglets from being squeezed by the sows, thus ensuring that the sows and piglets do not interfere with each other when eating; by distributing the piglet feed in advance, the piglets can enter the piglet protective cover to eat first, avoiding the sows and piglets from crowding together when they approach the device at the same time, and reducing the possibility of the sows squeezing and injuring the piglets.

[0010] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] Please see Figures 1-5The present invention provides the following technical solution: including a feeding trough body 1, an L-shaped baffle 11 and several first feed inclined baffles 12, several piglet protective covers 2 are installed on the inner wall of the feeding trough body 1, one end of the piglet protective cover 2 is installed on one side of the L-shaped baffle 11, a partition plate 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough body 1, the partition plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped baffle 11, a discharge pipe 14 is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped baffle 11, the partition plate 13 is connected to the internal space of the corresponding piglet protective cover 2 through the discharge pipe 14, a second feed inclined baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of several piglet protective covers 2, and two pressure sensing plates 22 are installed on the bottom inner wall of several piglet protective covers 2, the pressure sensing plates 22 correspond to the position of the piglet's foot.

[0018] In this implementation scheme: the feed trough body 1 supports all components of the device. The feed trough body 1 forms a feed storage space through an L-shaped baffle 11. The concave side of the L-shaped baffle 11 creates a clearance area for the feed trough body 1, allowing the sow's head to enter this clearance area for feeding. The first feed inclined baffle 12 encloses the sow's feed to prevent feed leakage and facilitates feeding for the sow. Several piglet protective covers 2 are all located in the clearance area on one side of the L-shaped baffle 11. The positions of the piglet protective covers 2 are evenly distributed, and one end of each piglet protective cover 2 has an opening of a certain size. The piglets are smaller than the sows, preventing them from crowding inside the piglet enclosure 2 to eat. The enclosure 2 has enough space to accommodate the piglets and supports the second feed baffle 21, preventing sows and piglets from eating in the same area. The space between several piglet enclosures 2 allows room for the sow's head, allowing the enclosure to be positioned between two sows' heads, increasing space utilization and reducing wasted trough space. The second feed baffle 21 shields the feed inside the piglet enclosure 2, preventing feed leakage. To prevent waste, the partition 13 separates the feed storage space between the feed trough body 1 and the L-shaped baffle 11, allowing sow feed and piglet feed to be separated and retrieved. Piglet feed is discharged through the discharge pipe 14 below the L-shaped baffle 11. The bottom opening of the discharge pipe 14 corresponds to the area covered by the second feed inclined baffle 21, allowing piglet feed to be contained in a fixed area for piglets to eat. When the feed trough is in use, the sow feed trough is not fed temporarily, and the discharge pipe 14 feeds piglets into the piglet protective cover 2. Piglets first enter the piglet protective cover 2. During feeding, the sow cannot enter and must wait outside. The piglet protective cover 2 supports two pressure sensing plates 22. After the piglets enter the piglet protective cover 2, their hind and hind hooves step on the two pressure sensing plates 22 respectively, so that the gravity sensor between the pressure sensing plate 22 and the piglet protective cover 2 can detect the piglets' entry. When several piglets have entered the piglet protective cover 2, the sow feed trough begins to be put in feed. At this time, the piglet protective cover 2 protects the piglets and prevents the sow from squeezing the piglets, thus ensuring that the sow and piglets do not interfere with each other when eating.

[0019] The L-shaped baffle 11 has several discharge ports 111 and several inner grooves 112. The inner walls of the inner grooves 112 are slidably connected to sealing plates 3. The sealing plates 3 correspond to the positions and dimensions of the discharge ports 111. The inner walls of the sealing plates 3 are threaded with screws 31, which are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the L-shaped baffle 11. The discharge ports 111 are responsible for discharging feed to the sows. The sealing plates 3 control the blocking and opening of the discharge ports 111. When the piglets have not entered the piglet protective cover 2, the inner grooves 112 accommodate and make way for the sealing plates 3, and the sealing plates 3 block the discharge ports 111. When the piglets enter the piglet protective cover 2 and step on the two pressure sensing plates 22, the motor drives the screws 31 to rotate. The screws 31 drive the sealing plates 3 to slide towards the inner grooves 112, so that the discharge ports 111 can be opened, thereby allowing the feed to be dispensed to the sows.

[0020] Several piglet protective covers 2 are slidably connected to the inner walls of each cover. The position of the cover 23 is higher than that of the second feed baffle 21. When the cover 23 is not in use, it is close to one side of the L-shaped baffle 11. At this time, the cover 23 will not interfere with the piglets' eating and feed delivery. When the piglets are in the piglet protective cover 2, the cover 23 is pulled in the opening direction of the piglet protective cover 2, so that the cover 23 can push the piglets backward, thereby driving the piglets that have already eaten out of the piglet protective cover 2, and allowing the piglets that have not eaten to enter the piglet protective cover 2 to eat. The cover 23 does not contact the second feed baffle 21, so as to prevent the second feed baffle 21 from interfering with the movement of the cover 23.

[0021] A pull rod 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piglet protective cover 2. A slider connected to the pull rod 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the barrier frame 23. A handle 241 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 24, and the handle 241 contacts one end of the piglet protective cover 2. The pull rod 24 pulls the barrier frame 23. The handle 241 is located outside the piglet protective cover 2, which makes it easy for the staff to control the pull rod 24, so that the barrier frame 23 can complete the action of driving away the piglets.

[0022] A return spring 25 is fitted on the side wall of the pull rod 24. The return spring 25 pushes the barrier frame 23. The return spring 25 pushes the barrier frame 23 so that the barrier frame 23 can be tightly attached to one side of the L-shaped baffle 11 when not in use. After the piglets are driven away, the barrier frame 23 can return by the push of the return spring 25.

[0023] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the device is in use, the control discharge pipe 14 delivers piglet feed to the piglet protective cover 2. The piglets enter the piglet protective cover 2. At this time, the sow feed is not delivered, and the sow is blocked outside the piglet protective cover 2. After several piglets have entered the piglet protective cover 2, the piglets' front and hind hooves step on two pressure sensing plates 22 respectively, so that the gravity sensor between the pressure sensing plate 22 and the piglet protective cover 2 can detect the entry of the piglets. When several piglets have entered the piglet protective cover 2, the motor drives the screw 31 to rotate. The screw 31 drives the sealing plate 3 to slide towards the inner groove 112, so that the discharge port 111 can be opened, thereby allowing the sow feed to be delivered for the sow to eat. At this time, the piglet protective cover 2 protects the piglets and prevents the sow from squeezing the piglets, thus ensuring that the sow and piglets do not interfere with each other when eating.
