Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a pig feeding device with precise drug administration function. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional pig farming, the feeding and medication administration of pigs often present numerous problems. On the one hand, feed and medication administration typically rely on manual operation, which is not only labor-intensive but also makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy of the dosage, easily leading to feed waste or inaccurate medication dosages. On the other hand, administering feed and medication separately is cumbersome, inefficient, and may also negatively impact pig health due to untimely medication administration. Furthermore, some existing feeding devices are ill-suited to complex farming environments, easily damaged in humid conditions, and susceptible to destruction by pigs. Therefore, developing a pig feeding device that can accurately administer medication, automatically control feed dispensing, and adapt to different farming environments is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a pig feeding device with precise medication dispensing capabilities. This device enables accurate quantitative dispensing of feed and medication, avoiding waste and dosage errors, and promoting healthy pig growth. Furthermore, it can simultaneously dispense feed and medication, improving feeding efficiency and saving manpower.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it comprises a cylindrical shell 1, a feed cylinder 2, a medicine cylinder 3, a feeding tray 4, a rotating disk 5, a rotating shaft 6, a motor shaft 7, a discharge bin 8, a holding tray 9, discharge tracks 11, and a controller 12; the cylindrical shell 1 is internally composed of the feed cylinder 2 and the medicine cylinder 3, with the feeding tray 4 installed at the bottom of the feed cylinder 2 and the medicine cylinder 3, and the rotating disk 5 located below the feeding tray 4. The rotating shaft 6 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the rotating disk 5 and is located inside the discharge bin 8. The controller 12 is located below the cylindrical shell 1, and the motor shaft 7 on the controller 12 passes through the middle of the holding tray 9 and is connected to the rotating shaft 6. The holding tray 9 is located directly below the discharge bin 8, and four discharge tracks 11 are provided on the edge of the holding tray 9.

[0005] Furthermore, the upper part of the outer shell 1 of the cylinder is provided with a feed inlet 101, and a hinged and spring-loaded cover plate 103 is provided at the feed inlet 101, which can automatically spring back and close after the feed and medicine enter the cylinder to prevent foreign objects from entering and facilitate quick feeding.

[0006] Furthermore, a partition plate 102 is provided in the middle of the inner part of the outer shell 1 of the cylinder, which can separate the feed cylinder 2 and the medicine cylinder 3.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding tray 4 has multiple linearly and evenly distributed feeding holes 401, and the corresponding rotating disk 5 has multiple open-type distribution holes 501. The feed and medicine in the feed cylinder 2 and medicine cylinder 3 rotate through the distribution holes 501 and correspond to the feeding holes 401, so that the material can fall into the discharge bin 8. The uniform feeding and the feeding amount can be controlled by the rotation speed control of the controller 12.

[0008] Furthermore, the controller 12 consists of a PLC controller, a battery, and a switch assembly, which can remotely control the motor speed to achieve the rotation speed of the rotating disk 5.

[0009] Furthermore, a rubber base 1201 is provided below the controller 12, which can stabilize the installation position of the device in the pig breeding environment, prevent the device from being damaged by the humid environment, and also prevent the pigs from damaging the device controller.

[0010] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Precise drug delivery and feeding principle: Feed and drugs are stored separately in feed cylinder 2 and drug cylinder 3. When the device is working, the controller 12 controls the motor shaft 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 6 and the connected rotating disk 5 to rotate. The feed holes 501 distributed in a sparse pattern on the rotating disk 5 rotate with the disk. When the feed holes 401 evenly distributed in a straight line on the lower feed tray 4 correspond to the feed holes 501 on the rotating disk 5, the feed and drugs in the feed cylinder 2 and drug cylinder 3 will fall into the discharge bin 8 through the corresponding holes. Because the controller 12 can precisely control the motor speed, it can also precisely regulate the rotation speed of the rotating disk 5, thereby achieving precise control of the amount of feed and drugs dispensed according to actual needs, ensuring that pigs receive appropriate nutrition and drug dosages.

[0011] The principle of improving feeding efficiency: In the same device, the feed cylinder 2 and the medicine cylinder 3 share the feeding structure such as the feeding tray 4 and the rotating tray 5. When the motor drives the rotating tray 5 to rotate, the feeding operation of feed and medicine can be completed at the same time. Unlike the traditional method, feed and medicine need to be fed separately, which greatly saves time and manpower, achieves efficient feeding, and ensures that pigs receive a comprehensive supply of nutrition and medicine on time.

[0012] Adaptation to Complex Farming Environments: The rubber base 1201 installed below the controller 12 has insulating and moisture-proof properties. In humid pigsty environments, it effectively blocks moisture from corroding the internal circuitry of the controller, preventing short circuits and other malfunctions caused by dampness, and ensuring stable operation of the device. At the same time, the rubber base is flexible and elastic, providing cushioning even if pigs collide with the device during activity, reducing damage to the controller and enhancing the device's durability and applicability in complex farming environments.

[0013] Convenient feeding principle: The feed inlet 101 at the top of the outer shell 1 is equipped with a hinged, spring-loaded cover 103. When the farmer adds feed or medicine to the feed container 2 or medicine container 3, he only needs to open the cover 103. After adding the medicine, the cover 103 will automatically spring back and close due to its hinged structure. This design not only prevents external debris from falling into the container during use and contaminating the feed and medicine, but also simplifies the feeding operation and improves the convenience of operation for farmers.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above technical solution are as follows: Through the specifically distributed feeding holes and dispensing holes on the feeding tray and rotating disc, combined with the precise control of the rotation speed by the controller, precise quantitative feeding of feed and medicine can be achieved, effectively avoiding feed waste and inaccurate drug dosage, ensuring that pigs receive appropriate nutrition and medicine intake, and promoting healthy growth. This device can simultaneously complete the feeding and medicine delivery, changing the cumbersome traditional separate feeding mode, greatly improving feeding efficiency, saving labor costs, ensuring that pigs receive the necessary nutrition and medicine on time, and reducing the adverse effects on pig health caused by untimely medication. The rubber base installed below the controller not only stabilizes the installation position of the device in the humid pig-raising environment, preventing damage due to moisture, but also effectively prevents pigs from damaging the controller, extending the device's service life and improving its applicability in complex breeding environments. The upper feed inlet of the cylinder is hinged with a spring-loaded cover that automatically springs back and closes after feed and medicine enter the cylinder. This not only prevents debris from entering but also facilitates quick feeding, optimizing the feed and medicine addition process and improving the convenience of breeding operations.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] See Figure 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is:

[0023] When using this invention, in a comprehensive pig farm, the breeding scale covers multiple stages from piglets to fattening pigs, and the pigsty environment is affected by the regional climate, making it quite complex and changeable. The farm workers face numerous challenges daily, including accurately dispensing feed and medication, improving feeding efficiency, coping with complex environments, and facilitating convenient feed addition.

[0024] When a batch of piglets is in a critical growth period, and there is a recent trend of diarrheal disease outbreaks in the vicinity of the pig farm, the farmer precisely sets the motor speed through controller 12 according to the piglets' growth stage and health needs. Feed hopper 2 contains feed with nutritional additives suitable for piglets, as well as anti-diarrheal medication in medication hopper 3. As the motor drives the rotating disc 5 to rotate, the dispensing holes 501 on the rotating disc 5 precisely align with the dispensing holes 401 on the dispensing disc 4. The precisely proportioned feed and medication required by the piglets fall orderly into the dispensing bin 8, and then into the piglet trough via the dispensing track 11. Each piglet can obtain nutrition and medication in a timely and accurate manner, ensuring its healthy growth and disease prevention.

[0025] Previously, pig farmers had to feed and administer medication separately, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Now, with this device, farmers simply pour feed into feed container 2 and medication into medication container 3. After starting the device, the motor drives the rotating disc 5 to simultaneously dispense the feed and medication. The task of feeding all the pigs, which used to take a whole day, can now be completed in just half a day, greatly improving feeding efficiency and allowing farmers to focus more on other important tasks such as monitoring the pigs' behavior and health.

[0026] Because the pig farm is located in the south with a humid climate, the humidity in the pigsty is often high, and the pigs are naturally active. After the pig feeding device was installed, the rubber base 1201 under the controller 12 performed perfectly. During the continuous rainy season, when the humidity in the pigsty reached as high as 85%, the device did not malfunction due to the dampness and operated stably. The active pigs occasionally bumped into the device during their daily activities, and the cushioning effect of the rubber base effectively protected the device from damage, ensuring a long-term stable supply of feed and medication, and adapting well to the complex local farming environment.

[0027] Furthermore, the design of the feed inlet 101 of this device greatly enhances the ease of operation for feeders during frequent daily feeding tasks. Each time feed or medication is added, the feeder simply opens the hinged, spring-loaded cover 103, quickly pouring feed into the feed container 2 and medication into the medication container 3. After addition, the cover 103 automatically closes, effectively preventing dust and other debris from entering. Compared to traditional feeding devices that require complex operations such as tightening the cover, this significantly saves feeders time and effort, making feeding easier and more efficient.

[0028] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
