Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding equipment technology, and in particular to a pollution-proof feeding trough for pigs. Background Technology
[0002] With the expansion of the livestock industry, traditional manual feeding methods can no longer meet the high-efficiency feeding needs of large-scale pig farms. Therefore, automated feeding systems have gradually become an important part of modern pig houses, effectively improving feeding efficiency and the health of pigs.
[0003] Existing pig feeding equipment is mostly manual feeding troughs or simple automatic feeding systems, which typically rely on manual operation to meet the pigs' feed needs. However, traditional feeding troughs suffer from problems such as feed waste and trough contamination. Although some feeding systems have introduced automation technology, most systems have not completely solved problems such as trough contamination, removal of leftover feed, and water pollution during pig feeding. Furthermore, their level of automation is limited, lacking intelligent recognition of the pigs' identities and feeding needs.
[0004] The main drawback of existing technologies is that traditional feeding troughs mostly rely on simple mechanical or timed controls, which cannot provide precise feeding based on the actual needs of the pigs. In addition, many systems fail to effectively prevent feed and water contamination and lack intelligent identification mechanisms, leading to some pigs getting sick due to unsanitary feeding, and even affecting the overall farming efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pig feeding trough that can achieve automation, efficient cleaning, accurate identification, and effective pollution prevention to meet the needs of modern animal husbandry. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pollution-proof feeding trough for pigs that effectively reduces feed waste, automatically cleans and maintains hygiene, optimizes feed management, improves breeding efficiency, and prevents pollution through a sealed structure, thereby improving the health of pigs.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This utility model provides a pig anti-pollution feeding trough, including a main body, the main body including a storage cavity and a feeding trough, the storage cavity being located above the main body, and the storage cavity having an infeed channel inside;
[0008] The storage chamber is connected to the feeding trough located below the main body through the feeding channel. The bottom of the feeding trough is provided with a water filter hole, which is connected to the collection chamber at the bottom of the main body.
[0009] The top of the feeding trough is movably connected to a cover, which is connected to the main body via a displacement mechanism.
[0010] The bottom surface of the feeding trough is curved, and the filter hole is provided in the middle of the curved surface, which is the lowest point in the horizontal height.
[0011] A collection chamber is also provided at the bottom of the storage chamber, and the collection chamber at the bottom of the storage chamber is connected to the collection chamber at the bottom of the feeding trough;
[0012] The collection chamber is connected to several drain pipes.
[0013] The bottom surface of the storage chamber is an inclined plate structure, and the material discharge channel is provided at the lowest horizontal height of the inclined plate structure. A rotary valve plate is provided at the material discharge channel, and the material discharge channel is connected to an inclined guide plate.
[0014] The top of the storage chamber is equipped with a chamber door.
[0015] The displacement mechanism is provided in the collection chamber below the storage chamber. The displacement mechanism includes several parallel threaded rods. One end of each threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the collection chamber away from the feed trough, and the other end is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the cover.
[0016] The threaded rod body is fixedly provided with a worm gear coaxial with it, and each worm gear meshes with the same worm. The two ends of the worm are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the collecting cavity and are coaxially connected to a drive motor.
[0017] The cover is slidably connected to the inner walls of the collection chamber and the feeding trough on both sides. T-shaped grooves are provided on both sides of the cover. T-shaped sliders are provided through both sides of the feeding trough and both sides of the collection chamber below the storage chamber. The T-shaped sliders are slidably connected in the T-shaped grooves.
[0018] When the cover is closed, it is located above the feeding trough; when the cover is open, it is located inside the collection chamber below the storage chamber.
[0019] The end of the cover away from the displacement mechanism is provided with several horizontal sealing strips;
[0020] The cover is a multi-layer composite board, with a metal top surface and a food-grade plastic bottom surface.
[0021] Several nozzles are provided on the inner wall of one side of the collection chamber below the storage chamber. The nozzles are connected to a water tank through a pump body. The water tank is located between the two collection chambers and is provided with a water inlet pipe.
[0022] The water tank contains cleaning solution and water;
[0023] The nozzle outlet faces the top of the cover.
[0024] Several air blowing pipes are provided on one side of the inner wall of the collection chamber below the storage chamber, and the air blowing pipes are connected to the pump body and the heater.

Limiting strips are provided on both sides of the filter plate. The limiting strips are movably connected to the limiting grooves on both sides inside the feeding trough.
[0027] The filter plate is made of a soft material and has several through holes.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This feeding trough, by setting a combination of water filter holes and filter plates, effectively prevents the water in the feeding trough from coming into direct contact with the feed, thereby avoiding water pollution when pigs eat, improving the hygiene of pigs' diet, and the soft filter plates can be replaced and cleaned at any time, making it convenient to use.
[0029] This feeding trough uses a displacement mechanism to make the opening and closing of the cover more precise, allowing for unified management of the opening and closing of the cover throughout the pigsty and control of the pigs' feeding time. At the same time, this feeding trough can also be monitored individually. An RFID sensor can be installed at the front of the feeding trough. When the RFID chip of the pig's ear tag is detected and the pig is approaching and preparing to eat, the drive motor drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the two threaded rods to rotate in the same direction, causing the cover to move and open. After feeding, the cover closes. This device can be connected to a control system to record data such as the feeding time of each pig.
[0030] This feeding trough combines an automatic water spray system and a blower, which can automatically clean the trough by using cleaning liquid and automatically drying it. It can be cleaned on a timed basis or manually controlled to keep the inner surface of the lid clean.
[0031] The feed storage chamber of this feeding trough is connected to the trough by a feeding channel and a rotary valve plate to control the flow of feed, ensuring a stable and accurate feed quantity and reducing waste;
[0032] This feeding trough, through its bottom collection chamber and drainage pipe structure, can effectively collect and remove sewage and residual feed from the trough and storage chamber, ensuring the cleanliness of the pig feeding trough.
[0033] The multi-layer composite board and sealing strip design of this feeding trough cover enhances the overall anti-pollution effect. The multi-layer composite board has a heat insulation layer in the middle, and it is easy to disassemble and clean, meeting food hygiene requirements. Attached Figure Description
