Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig farming technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable-height pig feed trough. Background Technology
[0002] During pig farming, the required trough height varies depending on the pig's growth stage. Piglets need a lower trough height for easy eating, while as pigs grow, a higher trough height allows them to maintain a natural eating posture, reducing pressure on their neck and back, and improving eating comfort and efficiency. Pigs at different growth stages have different requirements for trough height.
[0003] Traditional pig feed troughs are fixed. Because piglets are small, if the trough is too high, they will have difficulty reaching the feed, which will lead to eating difficulties and affect their growth rate and health. In the long run, this may result in malnutrition, slow growth and other problems. At the same time, different heights of feed troughs need to be prepared for pigs at different growth stages, which will increase the equipment purchase cost.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign an adjustable-height pig feeder to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable height pig feed trough.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An adjustable-height pig feeder includes a wall. Two sliding grooves are symmetrically opened on one side of the wall. A movable groove is opened on one side of the wall and is located between the two sliding grooves. Two inner sidewalls of the movable groove are respectively connected to the two movable grooves. An adjustment device is provided in both sliding grooves. A feeder is fixedly installed on the output end of the adjustment device. A support device is provided in the movable groove, and the output end of the support device abuts against the bottom end of the feeder. The output end of the support device is fixedly connected to the output end of the adjustment device.
[0008] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the specific implementation method is as follows: by setting up an adjustment device, a feeding trough, a motor, etc., the height of the feeding trough can be adjusted by using the motor to drive the adjustment device. In this way, the height of the feeding trough can be adjusted according to the growth size of the pig. Furthermore, there is no need to prepare feeding troughs of different heights, which reduces procurement costs. The support device can support the feeding trough in sync with the movement of the feeding trough, preventing the feeding trough from shaking when the pig is eating.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting device includes two threaded rods, which are mounted on the inner bottom wall of corresponding slide grooves via bearings. One end of each threaded rod extends outward from the inner top wall of the two slide grooves and is fitted with a synchronization component. Each threaded rod is threadedly connected to a slider, which is slidably engaged in the corresponding slide groove. One end of each slider is fixedly connected to one side of the feed trough. The two sliders are fixedly mounted together on a connecting plate, which is slidably engaged in the two connecting grooves. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the support device.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the synchronization component includes a first synchronization pulley and a second synchronization pulley, and the first synchronization pulley and the second synchronization pulley are respectively fixedly installed at one end of two threaded rods, and a synchronization belt is installed between the first synchronization pulley and the second synchronization pulley.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the support device includes a movable block that is slidably engaged in a movable groove, and the upper end face of the movable block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of a connecting plate. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the movable block, and support blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing plate, with the upper end faces of the two support blocks abutting against the bottom end of the feeding trough.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the wall, and a motor is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket, with the output shaft of the motor fixedly connected to one side of the second synchronous pulley.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a baffle is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the feeding trough, and the baffle is in contact with the wall.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model, by setting up an adjustment device, a feeding trough, a motor, etc., uses the motor to drive the adjustment device to adjust the height of the feeding trough, thereby adjusting the height of the feeding trough according to the growth size of the pig, further eliminating the need to prepare feeding troughs of different heights, thus reducing procurement costs.
[0016] 2. This utility model provides a support device that can support the feeding trough by moving synchronously with it, preventing the pig from arching the trough and causing it to shake while eating.
[0017] In summary, this utility model is simple to operate. The height of the feeding trough can be adjusted by using a motor-driven adjustment device, which can be adjusted according to the growth size of the pig. The support device can support the feeding trough by moving synchronously with it, preventing the feeding trough from shaking when the pig is eating. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 An adjustable-height pig feeder includes a wall 1. Two sliding grooves 6 are symmetrically opened on one side of the wall 1. A movable groove 5 is opened on one side of the wall 1 and is located between the two sliding grooves 6. The two inner sidewalls of the movable groove 5 are respectively connected to the two movable grooves 6 by a connecting groove 11. An adjustment device is provided in both sliding grooves 6. A feed trough 2 is fixedly installed on the output end of the adjustment device. A support device is provided in the movable groove 5, and the output end of the support device abuts against the bottom end of the feed trough 2. The output end of the support device is fixedly connected to the output end of the adjustment device.
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the specific implementation method is as follows: by setting up an adjustment device, a feeding trough 2, a motor 4, etc., the motor 4 drives the adjustment device to adjust the height of the feeding trough 2, so that the height of the feeding trough 2 can be adjusted according to the growth size of the pig. Furthermore, there is no need to prepare feeding troughs 2 of different heights, which reduces the procurement cost. The support device can support the feeding trough 2 in sync with the movement of the feeding trough 2, preventing the feeding trough 2 from shaking when the pig is eating.
[0025] The adjusting device includes two threaded rods 7, which are mounted on the inner bottom wall of corresponding slide grooves 6 via bearings. One end of each threaded rod 7 extends outward from the inner top wall of the two slide grooves 6 and is fitted with a synchronization component. Each threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected to a slider 9, which is slidably engaged in the corresponding slide groove 6. One end of each slider 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the feed trough 2. The two sliders 9 are fixedly mounted together on a connecting plate 12, which is slidably engaged in the two connecting grooves 11. The connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the support device. The synchronization component can drive the two threaded rods 7 to rotate simultaneously, so that the two sliders 9 can slide synchronously in the slide grooves 6.
[0026] The synchronization assembly includes a first synchronization pulley 16 and a second synchronization pulley 17, and the first synchronization pulley 16 and the second synchronization pulley 17 are respectively fixedly installed at one end of two threaded rods 7. A synchronization belt 10 is installed between the first synchronization pulley 16 and the second synchronization pulley 17, and both the first synchronization pulley 16 and the second synchronization pulley 17 can drive the other to rotate through the synchronization belt 10.
[0027] The support device includes a movable block 13, which is slidably locked in the movable groove 5. The upper end face of the movable block 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 12. A fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable block 13. Support blocks 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing plate 14, and the upper end faces of the two support blocks 15 abut against the bottom end of the feeding trough 2.
[0028] A mounting bracket 8 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the wall 1. A motor 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 8, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the second synchronous pulley 17.

[0029] A baffle 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the feeding trough 2, and the baffle 3 is attached to the wall 1. The baffle 3 can block the slide 6 and the moving trough 5 to prevent the pigs from pushing the food into the moving trough 5 and the slide 6 when they are eating.
[0030] When using this invention, the motor 4 can be started first. The output shaft of the motor 4 can drive the second synchronous pulley 17 to rotate. Then, the second synchronous pulley 17 can drive the first synchronous pulley 16 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 10. Then, the first synchronous pulley 16 and the second synchronous pulley 17 can simultaneously drive the two threaded rods 7 to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the threaded rods 7 can simultaneously drive the slider 9 to slide in the slide groove 6. At the same time, the slider 9 can drive the feeding trough 2 to move synchronously. At this time, the height of the feeding trough 2 can be adjusted. The baffle 3 can be adjusted synchronously with the feeding trough 2. The baffle 3 can protect the two slide grooves 6 and the moving groove 5, and can prevent pigs from pushing food into the slide grooves 6 and the moving groove 5 when eating.
[0031] While the two sliders 9 move, the sliders 9 can drive the connecting plate 12 to move synchronously. The connecting plate 12 can drive the moving block 13 and the fixed plate 14 to move synchronously, so that the fixed plate 14 can provide support for the trough 2 through the two support blocks 15.
