Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig farming technology, and in particular to a feeding device for pig farming that facilitates control of feed quantity. Background Technology

[0002] The primary economic value of pigs lies in providing humans with high-quality meat products. Pork is one of the most widely consumed meats globally, rich in protein, fat, vitamins, and various minerals, meeting human nutritional needs. Besides consumption, other parts of the pig also have important uses. Pig farming refers to the artificial raising and breeding of pigs to obtain pork and related products, meeting market demand and achieving economic benefits. Pig farming requires a feeding device that facilitates the control of feed quantity.

[0003] Patent CN 219463074 U discloses a feeding device for pig farming that facilitates control over feed quantity. The feeding port is located above the feed trough and slides along a slide rail via a slider at the bottom. A first motor, a second motor, and a weighing sensor are electrically connected to a controller. This invention can control the amount of feed dispensed into the feed trough according to the feeding time of the pigs, avoiding waste of raw feed and problems detrimental to healthy pig farming caused by overfeeding or underfeeding.

[0004] While the aforementioned technology can control the amount of feed dispensed into the trough, the fixed location and timely, quantitative feeding can lead to overcrowding when feeding too many pigs. Dominant pigs will occupy advantageous positions and prioritize obtaining large amounts of food, while weaker pigs will struggle to approach the trough, resulting in insufficient feed intake. Over time, this will increase the weight differences among individual pigs, slow the growth of weaker pigs, affect the overall consistency of slaughter, and reduce farming efficiency. Therefore, innovation is needed in this technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A feeding device for pig farming that facilitates control of feed quantity includes a chassis 1, a feeding box 3 installed at the center of the top of the chassis 1, a storage box 4 on the top of the feeding box 3, a feed guide pipe 5 connecting the storage box 4 and the feeding box 3, a feeding ring trough 2 rotatably installed on the top of the chassis 1, and a discharge pipe 7 fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the feeding box 3, with one end of the discharge pipe 7 located directly above the feeding ring trough 2. A metering valve 8 is installed on the discharge pipe 7. The feed stored in the storage box 4 is first guided into the feeding box 3 for dispensing. By opening the metering valve 8, the feed is metered and guided into the feeding ring trough 2. At the same time, the motor 12 drives the drive gear 11, the motor 12 and the internal gear ring 9 to mesh and rotate, thereby driving the feeding ring trough 2 to rotate, achieving the effect of evenly spreading the feed on the feeding ring trough 2. Therefore, it can expand the feeding range of pigs and effectively avoid the situation where strong pigs dominate the feeding trough and weak pigs do not get enough feed due to fixed feeding positions.

[0023] In this embodiment, a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the chassis 1, and a ring groove is opened in the middle of the bottom of the feeding ring groove 2. The outer wall of the limiting ring is movably connected to the inner wall of the ring groove. The cooperation between the limiting ring and the ring groove helps the feeding ring groove 2 to rotate stably on the chassis 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 5 is equipped with a control valve. The cooperation between the valve and the feed pipe 5 serves to guide the food through the storage box 4 to the feeding box 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, the feeding box 3 and the storage box 4 are fixedly connected by a connecting frame 6, which serves to connect the storage box 4 and the feeding box 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, an internal gear ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding ring groove 2. A driven gear 10 is meshed with the inner wall of the internal gear ring 9. A driving gear 11 is meshed with the outer wall of the driven gear 10. The middle part of the bottom end of both the driven gear 10 and the driving gear 11 is rotatably connected to the top end of the chassis 1. A motor 12 is fixedly installed on the chassis 1. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the top end of the driving gear 11. The motor 12 drives the driving gear 11 to rotate. The driving gear 11 meshes with the driven gear 10 to drive the internal gear ring 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding ring groove 2 to rotate, so as to achieve the effect of the feeding ring groove 2 rotating to receive the feed when feeding.

[0027] In this embodiment, an extension rod 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the driven gear 10, and an extension shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the feeding box 3. The outer wall of the extension shaft 14 and the top of the extension rod 13 are connected by a belt drive. The bottom end of the extension shaft 14 passes through the feeding box 3 and is fixedly connected to a stirring rod 15. The bottom end of the stirring rod 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the feeding box 3. Multiple stirring blades 16 are fixedly installed on the stirring rod 15. An auxiliary sleeve 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the feeding box 3. The top of the extension rod 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary sleeve 17. The cooperation of the extension rod 13, the extension shaft 14 and the belt drives the stirring rod 15 to rotate. By rotating the stirring rod 15, the stirring blades 16 are driven to rotate, which can achieve the function of stirring the food inside the feeding box 3, thereby preventing the food from clumping. The auxiliary sleeve 17 is set to support the extension rod 13 and assist its rotation.

[0028] Working Principle: During operation, feed is first stored inside the feed bin 4. When feeding pigs, the valve on the feed guide pipe 5 is opened to guide the feed through the pipe to the feeding bin 3 for dispensing. During dispensing, the metering valve 8 is activated to dispense a measured amount of feed, which is then guided through the dispensing pipe 7 into the feeding ring trough 2. Simultaneously, the drive motor 12 rotates, driving the drive gear 11 to rotate. The drive gear 11 meshes with the driven gear 10, which in turn meshes with the internal gear ring 9. Therefore, the internal gear ring 9 drives the feeding ring trough 2 to rotate on the chassis 1. This allows the feed to be evenly distributed on the feeding ring trough 2 through the dispensing pipe 7, allowing the pigs to eat around it. Simultaneously, the driven gear 10 rotates, driving the extension rod 13 to rotate. Under the transmission of the auxiliary sleeve 17 and the extension shaft 14, the stirring rod 15 rotates synchronously, thus driving the stirring blades 16 to stir the inside of the feeding bin 3, ensuring that the feed does not clump during dispensing.
