Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock breeding technology, specifically relating to an automatic feeding trough for piglet breeding. Background Technology
[0002] A livestock feeding trough is a device used to feed livestock, poultry, etc. It is generally divided into a storage structure and a feeding structure. The storage structure is used to store feed, while the livestock eat through the feeding structure. When the feed in the feeding structure is used up, feed can be added to the feeding structure through the storage structure. Livestock feeding troughs are widely used in the livestock industry.
[0003] Existing livestock feeding troughs store large amounts of feed through their storage structures. In hot weather, the feed located in the center of the trough is not ventilated and is easily compressed by the feed above, which can generate internal heat. The high temperature generated by this internal heat may cause the feed to deteriorate rapidly and become unusable, resulting in significant economic losses for farmers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding trough for piglet breeding that is simple in structure and reasonably designed in order to solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] An automatic feeding trough for piglet rearing includes a storage trough with support plates fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends. A feeding trough is fixedly connected to the front of the support plates and disposed below the storage trough. A feeding structure is installed between the storage trough and the feeding trough. Multiple annularly distributed heat exchange tubes are inserted into the inner cavity of the storage trough along its length. Both ends of the heat exchange tubes penetrate the side walls of both ends of the storage trough and are fixed to the side walls. A metal sheet is fixedly connected to a section of the heat exchange tubes located in the inner cavity of the storage trough. One side of the metal sheet penetrates the side wall of the heat exchange tube and extends into the heat exchange tube. A gas collection hood is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the storage trough. The opening end of the gas collection hood covers the periphery of the end of the heat exchange tubes located outside the storage trough. An air inlet is provided on the side wall of the gas collection hood. A motor is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the gas collection hood, and a fan blade is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, a top cover is provided at the top opening of the storage tank, and the bottom of the top cover is detachably connected to the storage tank.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, a plurality of equally spaced partitions are fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the feeding trough, and the bottom of each of the partitions is provided with a through hole.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the feeding structure includes a feeding pipe with one end penetrating through the bottom wall of the storage tank and fixedly connected to the storage tank, the other end of the feeding pipe penetrating through the side wall of the feeding tank and communicating with the inside of the feeding tank, and a control valve installed on the middle section of the feeding pipe.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the heat exchange tube is made of stainless steel and the wall thickness of the heat exchange tube is no more than one centimeter.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, a gap for air circulation is provided between the periphery of the motor and the inner wall of the gas collection hood, and a plurality of equidistant connecting rods are provided between the outer wall of the motor and the inner wall of the gas collection hood, with the two ends of the connecting rods being fixedly connected to the motor and the inner wall of the gas collection hood, respectively.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In hot weather, the feed in the storage tank can exchange heat with the air in the heat exchange tube through the metal sheet. When the motor is started, the motor drives the fan blades to rotate and draw outside air into the air collection hood, and delivers it from one end of the heat exchange tube to the heat exchange tube. The high-temperature air after heat exchange in the heat exchange tube is discharged, and at the same time, the heat exchange continues through the newly introduced air in the heat exchange tube, so as to reduce the temperature of the feed in the storage tank and minimize the problem of the feed in the storage tank deteriorating due to internal heat in hot weather, which would cause a lot of economic losses to farmers.

[0019] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, an automatic feeding trough for piglet breeding includes a storage trough 1 with support plates 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends. A top cover 2 is provided at the top opening of the storage trough 1. The bottom of the top cover 2 is detachably connected to the storage trough 1. The top cover 2 is provided to seal the top opening of the storage trough 1, so as to avoid external dust and impurities from entering the storage trough 1 and contaminating the feed in the storage trough 1, and at the same time, to prevent other animals from stealing the feed.
[0022] A feeding trough 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the support plate 3 and is located below the storage trough 1. Multiple equally spaced partitions 5 are fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the feeding trough 4. Each partition 5 has a through hole 6 at its bottom. The partitions 5 are used to divide the feeding trough 4 into multiple cavities, which can minimize the situation of piglets fighting over food. The through holes 6 make the cavities on both sides of the partition 5 connected, which facilitates the feeding of feed into the feeding trough 4.
[0023] A feeding structure is installed between the storage trough 1 and the feeding trough 4. The feeding structure includes a feeding pipe 7 with one end penetrating the bottom wall of the storage trough 1 and fixedly connected to the storage trough 1, and the other end of the feeding pipe 7 penetrating the side wall of the feeding trough 4 and communicating with the inside of the feeding trough 4. A control valve 8 is installed on the middle section of the feeding pipe 7. When in use, the control valve 8 can be opened so that the feed in the storage trough 1 can be transported to the feeding trough 4 through the feeding pipe 7.
[0024] Multiple annular heat exchange tubes 9 are installed in the inner cavity of the storage tank 1 along the length of the storage tank 1. The heat exchange tubes 9 are made of stainless steel and the wall thickness of the heat exchange tubes 9 is no more than one centimeter, which can greatly improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tubes 9. The two ends of the heat exchange tubes 9 penetrate through the side walls of the two ends of the storage tank 1 and are fixed to the side walls of the storage tank 1.
[0025] Multiple heat exchange tubes 9 are located in the inner cavity of the storage tank 1, and a metal sheet 10 is fixedly connected to a section of the periphery. One side of the metal sheet 10 penetrates the side wall of the heat exchange tube 9 and extends into the heat exchange tube 9, so that the feed stored in the storage tank 1 can exchange heat with the air inside the heat exchange tube 9 through the metal sheet 10 after generating internal heat.
[0026] A gas collecting hood 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the storage tank 1. The open end of the gas collecting hood 11 covers the periphery of multiple heat exchange tubes 9 located at the outer end of the storage tank 1. An air inlet 12 is opened on the side wall of the gas collecting hood 11. A motor 13 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the gas collecting hood 11. A gap for air circulation is left between the periphery of the motor 13 and the inner wall of the gas collecting hood 11. Multiple equidistant connecting rods 14 are provided between the outer wall of the motor 13 and the inner wall of the gas collecting hood 11. The two ends of the connecting rods 14 are fixedly connected to the motor 13 and the inner wall of the gas collecting hood 11, respectively. A fan blade 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13.
[0027] It should be noted that this automatic feeding trough for piglet rearing involves opening the top cover 2 and pouring feed into the storage trough 1 for storage. When feeding is required, the control valve 8 can be opened. At this time, the feed at the bottom of the storage trough 1 slides down the feed pipe 7 into the feeding trough 4 under gravity for the piglets to eat. When the ambient temperature is high, the internal heat generated by the compression of the feed inside the storage trough 1 can be exchanged with the air inside the heat exchange pipe 9 through the metal sheets 10 installed around the heat exchange pipe 9, thus reducing the internal heat of the feed inside the storage trough 1. At the same time, the motor 13 is started to drive the fan blades 15 to rotate, drawing air from the external environment into the air collection hood 11 through the air inlet 12, and then delivering it from one end of the heat exchange tube 9 into the heat exchange tube 9. The high-temperature air inside the heat exchange tube 9 that has exchanged heat with the metal sheet 10 is discharged, and then the newly delivered air into the heat exchange tube 9 continues to exchange heat with the metal sheet 10, so as to reduce the temperature of the feed in the storage tank 1 and minimize the problem of the feed in the storage tank 1 deteriorating due to internal heat in hot weather, which would cause a lot of economic losses to farmers.
[0028] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
