The mixing mechanism includes a mixing shaft 22, and a mixing rod 11 is provided on the mixing shaft 22. The upper end of the mixing shaft 22 passes through the feeding box 1 and is connected to the output end of the motor 3. The feeding box 1 is provided with a feed pipe 4, a water pipe 21, and a motor 3. The feed pipe 4 and the water pipe 21 are connected to the food mixing chamber. A water storage tank 2 is connected to the water pipe 21. A water filling pipe is provided on the water storage tank 2. An ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 is provided on the top wall of the water storage tank 2. Valves are provided on the feed pipe 4, the water filling pipe, and the water pipe 21.

[0026] Specifically, during use, solid pig feed is added to the food mixing chamber through the feed pipe 4, and then water is added to the water storage tank 2 through the water pipe. Then the mixing mechanism works, the motor 3 is started, and under the drive of the motor 3, the mixing shaft 22 drives the mixing rod 21 to mix the pig feed and water evenly. The evenly mixed food flows into the sensing tank 16 through the through hole 13 on the partition 12. After the food enters the sensing tank 16, it compresses the spring 17 under the action of gravity.

[0027] Furthermore, a spring 17 is provided at the bottom of the feeding box 1, and a sensing groove 16 is provided on the spring 17. The sensing groove 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 1. A box door for sealing is provided on the front of the feeding box 1. An observation window 10 is provided on the box door. The position of the observation window 10 is directly opposite the sensing groove 16. The sensing groove 16 is made of transparent acrylic material.

[0028] Specifically, during use, the amount of food flowing from the food mixing chamber into the sensing tank 16 can be observed through the observation window 10 on the door.

[0029] In this embodiment, a trigger switch 15 is provided below the partition 12. The wall of the sensing groove 16 is used in conjunction with the trigger switch 15. A control box 5 and an alarm 6 are provided on the side wall of the feeding box 1. The trigger switch 15 is electrically connected to the control box 5, and the control box 5 is electrically connected to the alarm 6. A discharge pipe 18 is provided on the sensing groove 16, and a second solenoid valve 19 is provided on the discharge pipe 18. Both the first solenoid valve 14 and the second solenoid valve 19 are electrically connected to the control box 5. The discharge pipe 18 is slidably connected to the feeding box 1, and the discharge pipe 18 is connected to the feeding groove 8 through a guide hose 9.

[0030] Furthermore, the sensing platform 7 includes a housing 23, on the inner bottom wall of the housing 23, a pressure sensor 28 is provided, the pressure sensor 28 is electrically connected to the control box 5, a pressure plate 26 is slidably arranged inside the housing 23, the pressure plate 26 is located above the pressure sensor 28, a compression spring 27 is provided between the pressure plate 26 and the inner bottom of the housing 23, a slide rod 24 is provided above the pressure plate 26, the upper end of the slide rod 24 extends out of the housing 23 and a sensing plate 25 is provided, and the slide rod 24 is slidably connected to the housing 23.

[0031] Working principle of this utility model: In use, solid pig feed is first added to the food mixing chamber through the feed pipe 4. Then, water is added to the water storage tank 2 through the water pipe and then introduced into the food mixing chamber through the water guide pipe 21. Then, the mixing mechanism works, the motor 3 is started, and under the drive of the motor 3, the mixing shaft 22 drives the mixing rod 11 to mix the pig feed and water evenly. The evenly mixed food flows into the sensing tank 16 through the through hole 13 on the partition 12. After the food enters the sensing tank 16, it compresses the spring 17 under the action of gravity. At the same time, the spring 17 is observed through the observation on the box door. Window 10 allows observation of the amount of food flowing from the food mixing chamber into the sensing trough 16, preventing overflow. When the breeding pig steps onto the sensing platform 7 to eat, it steps on the sensing plate 25. Under the pig's weight, the sensing plate 25 moves downward, pressing down on the pressure plate 26 via the slide rod 24. The pressure plate 26 moves downward toward the pressure sensor 28, while the compression spring 27 is compressed. At this point, the pressure plate 26 contacts the pressure sensor 28, and the control box 5 opens the solenoid valve 19, allowing the food in the sensing trough 16 to flow through the guide hose 9. The food is fed into the feeding trough 8. As the food in the sensor trough 16 flows into the feeding trough 8, the position of the sensor trough 16 is raised by the spring 17 as the food in the sensor trough 16 decreases over time. When all the food in the sensor trough 16 has entered the feeding trough 8, the wall of the sensor trough 16 contacts the trigger switch 15, at which point the alarm 6 sounds. At the same time, the control box 5 controls the solenoid valve 14 to open, allowing the mixed food in the food mixing chamber to continuously flow into the sensor trough 16 through the through hole 13, and then through the sensor trough... Food from sensor 16 flows into feeding trough 8, providing a continuous supply of food for the breeding pigs. Once the breeding pigs are full (preferably, if there is any food residue in feeding trough 8, it can be manually cleaned the next day), the breeding pigs leave sensor 7. The spring 27 inside sensor 7 pops up pressure plate 26, and pressure plate 26 moves away from pressure sensor 28. At this time, control box 5 controls solenoid valve 19 to close, and the food in sensor 16 no longer flows into feeding trough 8 for feeding, thus realizing automatic feeding of breeding pigs and ensuring sufficient and timely supply of feed during the feeding process, thereby promoting the breeding and development of breeding pigs and facilitating their growth.

[0032] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
