Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig farming technology, specifically to an automatic feeding trough for pig farming. Background Technology

[0002] Pigs, also known as live pigs, are a general term for domestic pigs other than breeding pigs that have not yet been slaughtered. Pigs are omnivorous animals. The term "pig" generally refers to livestock. The pig is the last animal in the Chinese zodiac, also called "Hai". It is a mammal with a stout body, short limbs, and a relatively long snout. Its meat is edible, and its skin can be used for leather. It is docile, adaptable, easy to raise, and reproduces quickly. Pigs come in various colors, including black, white, reddish-brown, and black and white. Pigs can be bred 5-12 months after birth, with a gestation period of approximately 4 months. The average lifespan of a pig is 20 years.

[0003] In pig farming, troughs are generally used for feeding. However, the existing troughs have a simple structure and lack a device for quantitative feeding, resulting in a large amount of food remaining in the trough and causing waste. Some troughs have automatic feeding devices, but they do not stir the food storage tank, causing the food to separate and affecting subsequent feeding. Utility Model Content

[0042] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0043] Please see Figures 1-3 An automatic feeding trough for pig farming includes a trough body 1 and a lifting plate 2 slidably connected in the trough body 1. The lower end of the lifting plate 2 is provided with a support mechanism.

[0044] The support mechanism includes multiple through rods 13 symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the lifting plate 2. A fixed plate 12 is provided in the groove 1. The multiple through rods 13 all pass through the fixed plate 12 and are slidably connected to it. The fixed plate 12 and the lifting plate 2 are elastically connected by springs. Multiple springs are respectively sleeved on the outer wall of the multiple through rods 13.

[0045] Furthermore, the rear end of the tank 1 is provided with an installation plate 3, the front end of the installation plate 3 is provided with a storage box 4, the bottom of the storage box 4 is provided with two symmetrically arranged inclined blocks, the lower end of the storage box 4 is provided with a circular frame 8, and the circular frame 8 is connected to the storage box 4 through a feeding frame.

[0046] Furthermore, multiple through rods 13 are provided with a movable plate 16. The upper end of the movable plate 16 and the lower end of the fixed plate 12 are both provided with conductive connectors 14. The two conductive connectors 14 cooperate with each other. The lower end of the fixed plate 12 is provided with a controller 15.

[0047] Furthermore, rotating rods 10 are rotatably connected to both sides of the circular frame 8. Rollers 17 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating rods 10. The outer wall of the rollers 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular frame 8. Multiple circumferentially arranged receiving grooves 18 are opened on the outer wall of the rollers 17. A feeding frame 11 is provided at the lower end of the circular frame 8. The multiple receiving grooves 18 are respectively matched with the feeding frame and the feeding frame 11. By making the material in the receiving grooves 18 contact with the feeding frame 11, the material is quantitatively placed onto the lifting plate 2, thereby realizing quantitative feeding of the material and avoiding the situation of excessive material leading to a lot of waste.

[0048] Furthermore, a transmission rod 5 is rotatably connected to both sides of the storage box 4. The outer wall of the transmission rod 5 is provided with multiple stirring rods 6 arranged at equal intervals. By rotating the multiple stirring rods 6 at the upper end of the outer wall of the transmission rod 5, the material is stirred. Therefore, during the feeding process, the stirring rods 6 agitate the material, preventing the material from being separated into layers in the storage box 4 for a long time, and improving the overall linkage and practicality of the device.

[0049] Furthermore, both the rotating rod 10 and the transmission rod 5 are provided with synchronous pulleys 9 on their outer walls, and the two synchronous pulleys 9 are connected by a synchronous belt drive.

[0050] Furthermore, the side wall of the circular frame 8 is provided with a support plate, and the upper end of the support plate is provided with a power motor 7. The end of the rotating rod 10 is connected to the end of the output shaft of the power motor 7, and the two conductive connectors 14, the controller 15 and the power motor 7 are electrically connected.

[0051] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0052] By utilizing the through-sliding connection of multiple through rods 13 between the lifting plate 2 and the fixed plate 12, and the elastic connection of springs between the lifting plate 2 and the fixed plate 12, when the food stored at the upper end of the lifting plate 2 is small, multiple springs push the lifting plate 2 upward, thereby driving the moving plate 16 upward, thus making the two conductive connectors 14 contact each other. Utilizing the electrical connection between the conductive connectors 14, the controller 15, and the power motor 7 (since this part is prior art, its related structure is not described in detail in this figure), the controller 15 controls the power motor 7 to start, causing the power motor 7 to drive the rotating rod 10 to rotate, causing the rotating rod 10 to rotate and drive the roller 17 to rotate, causing multiple receiving grooves 18 on the outer wall of the roller 17 to overlap with the feeding frame in sequence, allowing the material in the storage tank 4 to enter the receiving groove 18 through the feeding frame. As the roller 17 continues to rotate, the material in the receiving groove 18 contacts the discharging frame 11, thereby quantitatively discharging the material onto the lifting plate 2, thus achieving quantitative material discharging and avoiding the situation where excessive material leads to a lot of waste.

[0053] Meanwhile, through the transmission connection between the rotating rod 10 and the transmission rod 5 via the synchronous pulley 9 and the synchronous belt, the transmission rod 5 rotates, causing multiple stirring rods 6 on the upper part of the outer wall of the transmission rod 5 to rotate and stir the material. Therefore, during the feeding process, the stirring rods 6 stir the material, preventing the material from being separated into layers in the storage box 4 for a long time, thus improving the overall linkage and practicality of the device.

[0054] In summary, the automatic feeding trough for pig farming, through the improvement and optimization of its working principle, has solved the problem of material waste caused by the inability of existing feeding troughs to quantitatively feed materials.

[0055] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
