[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] This application provides an automatic feeding device for pig breeding pens, which solves the problem that existing automatic feeding devices are usually only convenient for feeding. However, if the space inside the pen is large, it is not easy to observe the feeding status inside the feed trough. In some pens, after the feed is finished, personnel need to walk into the feed trough to observe the feeding status. Therefore, when adding feed, personnel still need to check the condition of each feed trough one by one, which is cumbersome.

[0035] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Example 1

[0036] This utility model discloses an automatic feeding device for pig breeding pens, according to the attached... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes an equipment support 1, a feeding basin 2, a feeding unit 3, and a detection unit 4;

[0037] The equipment support 1 is set on the ground; the equipment support 1 is used to provide support and limit the feeding basin 2, the feeding unit 3 and the detection unit 4.

[0038] The feeding bowl 2 is slidably connected to the equipment bracket 1; the feeding bowl 2 is used to feed the breeding pigs and is a feeding container.

[0039] Feeding unit 3 is mounted on equipment support 1; feeding unit 3 is used to automatically add food to the inside of feeding basin 2;

[0040] The detection unit 4 is mounted on the equipment bracket 1 and is used to detect whether there is food inside the feeding basin 2;

[0041] Feeding unit 3 includes:

[0042] The hopper 31 is mounted on the equipment bracket 1 and is used to store food.

[0043] The feeding pipe 32 is installed on the hopper 31;

[0044] Motor 33 is located at one end of feed pipe 32;

[0045] The screw rod 34 is located at the output end of the motor 33 and inside the feed tube 32;

[0046] The control panel 35 is located on the hopper 31 and is used to control automatic feeding.

[0047] The feeding unit 3 has a simple structure. When it is necessary to add food to the inside of the feeding basin 2, the motor 33 can be controlled directly through the control panel 35. When the motor 33 is working, it drives the screw rod 34 to rotate. The screw rod 34 drives the food inside the hopper 31 to move along the feed pipe 32 and finally falls into the inside of the feeding basin 2 through the bottom opening of the feed pipe 32, thus realizing quantitative feeding.

[0048] The control panel 35 is equipped with a warning light 351, and the detection unit 4 includes:

[0049] A pull rope 41 is installed on the feeding basin 2;

[0050] The counterweight 42 is mounted on the pull rope 41;

[0051] Switch 43 is mounted on counterweight 42;

[0052] Cable 44 is located between switch 43 and control panel 35. Switch 43 is used to control warning light 351.

[0053] The detection unit 4 in this device has a compact structure. When there is food in the feeding bowl 2, the weight of the feeding bowl 2 and the food is greater than the weight of the counterweight 42. At this time, the feeding bowl 2 and the food drive the pull rope 41 to move, and the pull rope 41 drives the counterweight 42 to move, so that the counterweight 42 is suspended in the air. Therefore, the switch 43 is in a suspended state. When the food is finished, the weight of the feeding bowl 2 and the food is less than the weight of the counterweight 42. At this time, the counterweight 42 moves downward and drives the feeding bowl 2 to move upward through the pull rope 41. The counterweight 42 also drives the switch 43 to move downward and contact and press with the equipment support 1, thereby controlling the warning light 351 on the control panel 35 to light up and indicate that the personnel are aware of the lack of food in each feeding bowl 2.

[0054] The equipment support 1 is provided with a support column 421, which supports the counterweight 42; the support column 421 makes the counterweight 42 stable under force and less prone to positional displacement.

[0055] The equipment support 1 is equipped with a fixed pulley 45, which is used to support the pull rope 41. The fixed pulley 45 is used to reduce the resistance of the pull rope 41 and improve the stability of the device.

[0056] The feeding bowl 2 is provided with a handle 21, which is connected to the pull rope 41. The handle 21 is used to make the connection between the feeding bowl 2 and the pull rope 41 stable. Example 2

[0057] This utility model discloses an automatic feeding device for pig breeding pens, according to the attached... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes an equipment support 1, a feeding basin 2, a feeding unit 3, and a detection unit 4;

[0058] The equipment support 1 is set on the ground; the equipment support 1 is used to provide support and limit the feeding basin 2, the feeding unit 3 and the detection unit 4.

[0059] The feeding bowl 2 is slidably connected to the equipment bracket 1; the feeding bowl 2 is used to feed the breeding pigs and is a feeding container.

[0060] Feeding unit 3 is mounted on equipment support 1; feeding unit 3 is used to automatically add food to the inside of feeding basin 2;

[0061] The detection unit 4 is mounted on the equipment bracket 1 and is used to detect whether there is food inside the feeding basin 2;

[0062] Feeding unit 3 includes:

[0063] The hopper 31 is mounted on the equipment bracket 1 and is used to store food.

[0064] The feeding pipe 32 is installed on the hopper 31;

[0065] Motor 33 is located at one end of feed pipe 32;

[0066] The screw rod 34 is located at the output end of the motor 33 and inside the feed tube 32;

[0067] The control panel 35 is located on the hopper 31 and is used to control automatic feeding.

[0068] The equipment support 1 is equipped with a limiting frame 11, and the feeding bowl 2 is equipped with a limiting sleeve 12. The limiting sleeve 12 is fitted onto the limiting frame 11. Through the design of the limiting frame 11 and the limiting sleeve 12, this device provides lateral support for the feeding bowl 2, ensuring that the feeding bowl 2 can move stably along the equipment support 1. When the feeding bowl 2 moves, the feeding bowl 2 drives the limiting sleeve 12 to slide along the limiting frame 11.
