Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unit pen technology, specifically to gestation unit pens for pig farming. Background Technology
[0002] Pregnant sows are sows that are pregnant but have not yet given birth. They are also called pregnant sows. In professional terms, they refer to sows that are in the physiological stage of pregnancy. Pregnant sows will exhibit a series of physiological characteristics, such as being greedy for food and sleep, being easily fatigued, having a strong appetite, gaining weight quickly, having a drooping tail, having their vulva become a line, becoming more docile, having a shinier coat, and having an enlarged abdomen.
[0003] Pregnant sows are prone to miscarriage in crowded pigsties due to squeezing and bumping among themselves, necessitating separate housing. These individual pens are known as gestation unit pens. However, this method has significant drawbacks: existing gestation unit pens require a large amount of feed and water from the pregnant sows. Since the feed and water are placed on the floor, they are often spilled everywhere, making the pens dirty and messy, which negatively impacts the pregnant sows' well-being and reduces their practicality. Therefore, we propose a novel gestation unit pen for pig farming. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a gestation pen for pigs, which solves the problem that when feed and water are placed on the floor of the gestation pen, the pregnant pigs will spill food and water everywhere, making the gestation pen dirty and messy, which can easily affect the normal life of the pregnant pigs.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down", usually refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" usually refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model.
[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 A gestation pen for pigs includes a pen body 1, a base 2 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the pen body 1, multiple support legs 3 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the base 2, multiple casters 6 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the base 2 via a telescopic mechanism, two slide rails 7 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the base 2, and a collection frame 9 fixedly installed inside each of the two slide rails 7 via a sliding mechanism, multiple cleaning openings that cooperate with the collection frame 9 are provided on the bottom wall of the pen body 1, and two movable frames 10 are fixedly installed inside the pen body 1, with a lifting mechanism 11 installed inside the two movable frames 10.
[0027] The lifting mechanism 11 includes a limit component 111 and a rotation component 112.
[0028] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism includes multiple cylinders 5 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the base 2. The telescopic end of each cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the corresponding movable wheel 6. Each movable wheel 6 is a swivel wheel, which is a type of movable caster. Its structural design allows for 360-degree rotation on the horizontal plane, enabling easy movement in any direction and greatly improving the efficiency of handling and moving objects.
[0029] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism includes a slider 8 fixedly installed inside the slide rail 7, and the bottom wall of the slider 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the collection frame 9.
[0030] Furthermore, the limiting assembly 111 includes screws 1111 rotatably installed inside the two movable frames 10 respectively. Limiting rods 1112 are fixedly installed inside the two movable frames 10. Movable sleeves 1113 are threadedly installed on the outer walls of the two screws 1111 respectively. The two limiting rods 1112 slide through the movable sleeves 1113 on the same side respectively. The limiting rods 1112 can limit the movable sleeves 1113, so that the movable sleeves 1113 can only move axially along the outer wall of the screws 1111. A feed trough 1114 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one movable sleeve 1113, and a water trough 1115 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the other movable sleeve 1113.
[0031] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 112 includes two fixed plates 1121 fixedly installed on the upper end face of the unit column body 1. A rotating rod 1122 is rotatably installed between the two fixed plates 1121. A motor 1123 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 1122. A bevel gear 1124 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 1122 and the outer wall of the two screws 1111. The two bevel gears 1124 in the same group mesh with each other.
[0032] Furthermore, each support leg 3 has a pad 4 fixedly installed on its bottom wall. Each pad 4 is made of rubber. Rubber has good elasticity and softness, which allows it to form a closer contact between the surface and the object, thereby increasing friction and improving the coefficient of friction.
[0033] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] The base 2 can provide stable support for the unit pen body 1 through the cooperation of the support legs 3 and the pads 4, thereby increasing the stability of the unit pen body 1 during use. The rubber pads 4 can increase the friction with the ground and prevent the unit pen body 1 from moving randomly when the pregnant pigs are arching. When it is necessary to move the unit pen body 1, the moving wheels 6 can be moved towards the ground by the extension and retraction of multiple cylinders 5. When the moving wheels 6 are in contact with the ground, the unit pen body 1 can be moved conveniently with the cooperation of multiple moving wheels 6.
[0035] When pregnant sows need to be fed and watered, motor 1123 drives rotating rod 1122 to rotate. When rotating rod 1122 rotates, it drives two screws 1111 to rotate via two meshing bevel gears 1124. The rotation of the two screws 1111, through their interaction with limiting rods 1112 on the same side, drives moving sleeves 1113 to move. The two moving sleeves 1113 then move the feed trough 1114 and water trough 1115 to the ground, allowing the pregnant sows to be fed and watered. After feeding and watering, the feed trough 1114 and water trough 1115 are then moved back to the ground. 15 is raised to prevent the feed trough 1114 and water trough 1115 from being contaminated when pregnant pigs defecate, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the unit pen body 1 and providing a comfortable living environment for pregnant pigs. When pregnant pigs defecate inside the unit pen body 1, the feces can be cleaned into the collection box 9 through multiple cleaning openings, thus facilitating the cleaning and collection of feces. When it is necessary to process the feces inside the collection box 9, the collection box 9 can be pulled out from the slide rail 7 by pulling the handle and using the slider 8, thus facilitating the processing of feces.
[0036] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
