TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of breeding, specifically to a hopper for feeding pigs. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pig feed includes dry feed and liquid feed, both have advantages and disadvantages, in terms of palatability, liquid feed is usually more popular than dry feed because liquid feed tastes better and pigs eat faster and more when feeding. However, this may also lead to pigs fighting for food, causing feed waste or uneven feeding. In contrast, dry feed is less likely to have this problem, but it may taste hard and require pigs to spend more time chewing and digesting.
[0003] Secondly, in terms of shelf life, dry feed is significantly longer than liquid feed. Dry feed is not prone to spoilage and can be stored for a long time, while liquid feed needs to be mixed and fed immediately and cannot be stored for a long time, otherwise it is prone to spoilage. Especially in summer, due to high temperature and high humidity, liquid feed is more prone to bacterial growth, causing feed to rot, thereby affecting the health of pigs. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a hopper for feeding pigs, which can uniformly distribute feed and reduce the occurrence of food fighting among pigs, and is also designed to be detachable, facilitating cleaning and maintenance and replacement.

[0006] Further, the middle part of the feeding tray is a conical barrel.
[0007] Further, the storage mechanism comprises a plurality of partitions fixedly connected to the feeding tray and the support column, the partitions are arranged in a circular array, and a circular tube one is fixedly connected to the partitions.
[0008] Further, the sealing mechanism comprises a circular tube two, a plurality of clamping grooves adapted to the partitions are formed in the circular tube two, the outer wall of the circular tube two is attached to the inner wall of the circular tube one, a cross support plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the circular tube two, and a circular hole is formed in the cross support plate.
[0009] Further, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping groove at the bottom of the circular tube two.
[0010] Further, the support rod fixedly connected on the support column is provided with a threaded groove on the outer wall, an inner threaded pipe is threadedly connected on the threaded groove, an extrusion plate is fixedly connected on the lower end of the inner threaded pipe, and a rotating disc is fixedly connected on the upper end of the inner threaded pipe.
[0011] Further, the upper end of the support column is fixedly connected with a protective pipe.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The pig feeding hopper can equally distribute the stored feed through the partition plate, so that the amount of feed for each pig is basically the same, and the pigs can be separated from each other through the partition plate when eating feed, so that the situation of fighting for food among the pigs is reduced, and the detachable design facilitates cleaning and replacement.
