Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding system for pigsties. Background Technology
[0002] In modern large-scale pig farming, automated feeding systems are one of the core pieces of equipment for achieving efficient breeding. Utilizing mechanical automation technology, they replace traditional manual feeding methods, precisely controlling the amount and timing of feed delivery based on the pigs' growth stages. Through automatic operation, mixed feed is delivered to various troughs in the pigsty at regular intervals and in precise quantities, greatly improving breeding efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring the stability and regularity of the pigs' diet.
[0003] Currently, traditional automatic feeding systems for pigsties often suffer from problems during the feed mixing stage. Their simple mixing structures make it difficult to thoroughly mix various ingredients, leading to uneven nutrient distribution. Furthermore, the discharge pipes are prone to blockage due to factors such as feed moisture and particle size, causing feeding interruptions and negatively impacting pig farming. Therefore, we propose an automatic feeding system for pigsties to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings in the above-mentioned background technology and to propose an automatic feeding system for pigsties.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic feeding system for pigsties includes a gantry frame, on which a mixing and discharging mechanism is installed;
[0007] The mixing and discharging mechanism includes multiple mixing tanks located at the top of the gantry frame. Multiple discharge pipes communicating with the mixing tanks are fixedly installed at the bottom of the gantry frame. A support frame is fixedly installed at the top of the gantry frame. A lifting plate is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the support frame. Multiple rotating rods are rotatably connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. The outer side wall of the rotating rods is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the discharge pipes in the vertical direction. Multiple stirring rods are fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the rotating rods. A cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the gantry frame. The piston end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate.
[0008] Preferably, the distance between the two mixing tanks on the same side is the same.
[0009] Preferably, the discharge pipe consists of a funnel and an L-shaped tube, with the funnel port and the top of the L-shaped tube fixedly connected, and the outer wall of the rotating rod and the inner wall of the L-shaped tube slidably connected.
[0010] Preferably, multiple stirring rods in the same layer are arranged in a ring array on the outer wall of the rotating rod.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the lifting plate is provided with a rotating mechanism, which includes multiple screws rotatably connected to the top of the lifting plate. The ends of the screws and the top of the rotating rods are fixedly connected in the vertical direction. The top of the support frame is provided with multiple fixing holes. The inner sidewall of the fixing holes is rotatably connected with a threaded sleeve. The outer sidewall of the screws and the inner sidewall of the threaded sleeve are threadedly connected in the vertical direction.
[0012] Preferably, the screw and the rotating rod are arranged coaxially.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] Through the interaction of the gantry frame, the mixing and discharging mechanism, and the rotating mechanism, multiple mixing tanks in the mixing and discharging mechanism work together to process large amounts of feed simultaneously, significantly improving mixing efficiency. The cylinder drives the mixing rod to move up and down, and in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating rod, the feed is mixed in three dimensions, resulting in excellent mixing effect. The ingenious design of the discharge pipe allows the feed to fall smoothly into the pig trough, and the rotating rod can also prevent blockage. At the same time, the screw in the rotating mechanism is coaxial with the rotating rod, ensuring stable power transmission and allowing for flexible adjustment of the mixing force for precise feeding, greatly improving breeding efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2An automatic feeding system for pigsties includes a gantry frame 1, on which a mixing and discharging mechanism is installed. The mixing and discharging mechanism includes multiple mixing troughs 2 located at the top of the gantry frame 1, multiple discharge pipes 3 connected to the mixing troughs 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the gantry frame 1, a support frame 4 fixedly installed at the top of the gantry frame 1, a lifting plate 5 slidably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 4, multiple rotating rods 6 rotatably connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 5, the outer wall of the vertical rotating rods 6 slidably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipes 3, multiple mixing rods 7 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rods 6, and a cylinder 8 fixedly installed at the top of the gantry frame 1, the piston end of the cylinder 8 being fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 5.
[0021] To further explain, the mixing and discharging mechanism automates feed mixing and discharging. Multiple mixing tanks 2 can mix feed simultaneously, improving work efficiency. The cylinder 8 drives the lifting plate 5, which in turn causes the rotating rod 6 and the mixing rod 7 to move up and down. This not only fully mixes the feed but also controls the discharge. The sliding connection between the vertical rotating rod 6 and the discharge pipe 3 ensures smooth discharge, providing an efficient and orderly solution for feeding pigsties.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the two stirring tanks 2 on the same side is the same.
[0023] To further explain, this ensures a more uniform distribution of feed in each mixing tank 2, preventing uneven feed accumulation due to inconsistent spacing between mixing tanks 2, which would affect the mixing effect.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the discharge pipe 3 consists of a funnel and an L-shaped tube. The funnel port and the top of the L-shaped tube are fixedly connected, and the outer wall of the rotating rod 6 and the inner wall of the L-shaped tube are slidably connected.
[0025] To further explain, the funnel can quickly collect the mixed feed, while the L-shaped tube can guide the feed to fall precisely into the pig trough. The rotating rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped tube. During the up-and-down movement of the rotating rod 6, it can prevent feed blockage and at the same time play an auxiliary role in pushing the feed in the L-shaped tube to ensure a smooth discharge process.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple stirring rods 7 in the same layer are arranged in a ring array on the outer wall of the rotating rod 6.
[0027] To further explain, when the rotating rod 6 rotates, the stirring rod 7 can stir the feed from multiple angles, expanding the stirring range and improving the uniformity of feed mixing.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a rotating mechanism is provided on the top of the lifting plate 5. The rotating mechanism includes multiple screws 9 rotatably connected to the top of the lifting plate 5. The ends of the vertical screws 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 6. Multiple fixing holes 10 are provided on the top of the support frame 4. A threaded sleeve 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing hole 10. The outer wall of the vertical screw 9 and the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 11 are threadedly connected.
[0029] To further explain, the threaded connection between the screw 9 and the screw sleeve 11, as well as the fixed connection between the screw 9 and the rotating rod 6, allows the rotating rod 6 to rotate while moving up and down, further enhancing the mixing effect on the feed.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the screw 9 and the rotating rod 6 are arranged coaxially.
[0031] To further explain, this design ensures the stability and accuracy of power transmission. During the rotation of the screw 9 and the rotating rod 6, there will be no shaking or jamming due to different axes, ensuring continuous and stable mixing and effectively improving feed mixing efficiency and quality.
[0032] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:
[0033] Feed placement: Based on the nutritional needs and feed intake of the pigs, different types of feed are poured into each mixing trough 2 in proportion. Since the distance between adjacent mixing troughs 2 is the same, the amount of feed can be distributed relatively evenly, ensuring that the amount of feed in each trough is roughly the same.
[0034] Stirring control: Start the cylinder 8 control button, the piston end of cylinder 8 extends, pushing the lifting plate 5 to move downward. The lifting plate 5 drives the rotating rod 6 and the stirring rod 7 fixed on it to descend together and enter the feed in the stirring tank 2. At the same time, the screw sleeve 11 rotates, driving the screw 9 and the rotating rod 6 connected to it to rotate. At this time, the stirring rod 7 rotates with the rotating rod 6 and stirs the feed in all directions during the up and down movement.
[0035] Discharge Operation: After the feed is evenly mixed, continue to control cylinder 8, causing rotating rod 6 to drive stirring rod 7 further down until the outer wall of rotating rod 6 is in full contact with the inner wall of the L-shaped tube of discharge pipe 3. At this time, the rotation of stirring rod 7 helps to push the mixed feed in mixing tank 2 through the funnel into the L-shaped tube, and the feed falls into the feeding trough in the pigsty along the L-shaped tube. During the discharge process, the discharge situation can be observed. If the discharge is not smooth, the rotation direction of rotating rod 6 can be adjusted appropriately or cylinder 8 can be controlled again to move rotating rod 6 up and down slightly to clear the discharge channel.
[0036] Feeding and equipment reset: After all the feed in the mixing tank 2 has been discharged, reverse the operation of the cylinder 8 control button to retract the piston end of the cylinder 8, which will drive the lifting plate 5, rotating rod 6 and mixing rod 7 to rise and return to the initial position. Turn off the system power switch to complete the feeding operation and wait for the next feeding task.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
