DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The description of the at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative, but not as any limitation on the present application and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] Embodiment: as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment provides a dry and wet material trough, which comprises a barrel 100, a barrel cover 200 arranged on the top of the barrel 100, and a material basin 600 arranged below the barrel 100. The barrel 100 and the material basin 600 are both fixed on a fixing frame 400, and the trough is installed in a pig house through the fixing frame 400. The opening of the barrel 100 is sealed through the barrel cover 200, which can effectively block mice, insects and the like, thereby reducing the spread of epidemic. A feeding port is arranged on the barrel cover 200 and connected with a pig farm material line, so that the pig farm material line supplies material to the barrel 100. In order to facilitate the observation of the feed in the barrel 100, an observation port is arranged on the barrel cover 200, and a sealing cover is arranged on the observation port. The barrel 100 comprises a storage barrel 110 and a discharging cylinder 120 connected to the bottom of the storage barrel 110. The discharging cylinder 120 is made of transparent plastic material. A tray 700 is arranged in the discharging cylinder 120. A discharging ball 500 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the tray 700, and the bottom of the discharging ball 500 extends out of the discharging cylinder 120. Specifically, the discharging ball 500 comprises a ball-shaped discharging ball body 520 and a handle 510 integrally formed with the discharging ball body. The bottom end of the handle 510 is fixedly connected with the discharging ball body 520. The discharging ball body 520 and the handle 510 are smoothly connected to form a gourd shape. The top end of the handle 510 is fixedly connected with the bottom center of the tray 700. A plurality of outwardly protruding protrusions are arranged at equal intervals on the end of the discharging ball body 520 away from the handle 510. The protrusions are integrally formed with the discharging ball body 520. The arrangement of the protrusions not only facilitates the arching of the discharging ball when pigs eat, but also improves the lightness of the discharging ball, thereby improving the impact resistance and durability of the discharging ball. The discharging ball 500 is made of ABS material by injection molding. The handle 510 and the discharging ball body 520 are integrally formed, which improves the impact resistance of the discharging ball 500. The discharging ball 500 needs to be deburred to improve the smoothness and prevent pigs from being injured when eating.
[0021] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the tray 700 is flexibly connected with the discharging cylinder 120 through a suspension device 800. The flexible connection allows the connection part to have axial expansion, folding and vertical axial displacement. When pigs eat, the tray 700 is displaced under the action of the discharging ball 500, which is arched by the pigs' noses. In the natural state, the side wall of the tray 700 is in contact with the inner wall of the discharging cylinder to block the discharging port at the bottom of the discharging cylinder. Pigs have the characteristic of arching food. When eating, the discharging ball 500 is arched upward, and the tray 700 is lifted upward under the action of the discharging ball 500. The feed in the storage barrel 110 falls into the material basin 600 through the gap between the discharging cylinder 120 and the tray, so as to be eaten by the pigs.
[0022] In the embodiment, the suspension device comprises flexible suspension members arranged at equal intervals around the tray 700, and the top ends of the suspension members are connected to the inner wall of the discharging cylinder 120.
[0023] In another embodiment not shown in the utility model, the suspension member is a rigid suspension rod, such as a metal round rod or a plastic rod with a certain hardness, and the two ends of the suspension rod are connected to the tray 700 and the discharging cylinder 120 through elastic joints respectively, and the elastic joints can be universal joints, corrugated pipes or rubber joints.
[0024] In the embodiment, two connecting members 900 are arranged on the tray 700 in a cross manner, and the top ends of the connecting members 900 are flexibly connected to the upper middle part of the inner wall of the storage barrel 110. When the pigs eat, the discharging ball 500 is rocked, and under the action of the discharging ball 500, the tray 700 is lifted upward and also shaken, thereby causing the connecting members 900 to shake and deform, so as to destroy the stress of the feed in the middle and lower parts of the storage barrel, break the particle size distribution, and make the feed in the storage barrel not easy to arch. The connecting members 900 are springs or steel wires, and in the embodiment, as shown in the figure, the connecting members 900 are preferably springs, because the springs will produce greater deformation due to their own structure, thereby causing greater vibration amplitude, so as to prevent the feed particles from supporting each other to form an arch. Figure 2
[0025] In another embodiment not shown in the utility model, the connecting member 900 is a rigid connecting rod, and one end of the connecting rod 900 is connected to the inner wall of the storage barrel 110 through an elastic joint. A plurality of dispersing strips are fixed around the connecting member 900, and the included angles between the dispersing strips and the connecting member 900 are different. With the movement of the tray 700, the connecting member 900 is moved, thereby destroying the horizontal stress of the feed in the storage barrel 110, so that the feed is not easy to arch, and in addition, the arrangement of the dispersing strips can destroy the stress of the feed in the storage barrel 110 in a larger range, preventing arching.
[0026] In the embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the tray 700, the barrel 100 adopts a split structure, and the barrel 100 is composed of a storage barrel 110 and a discharging cylinder 120, and the connection mode of the storage barrel 110 and the discharging cylinder 120 is as follows: Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the storage barrel 110 is made of plastic material, and its bottom is a double-layer structure composed of an inner bottom cylinder 112 and an outer bottom cylinder 111. The storage barrel 110 is conical, the inner bottom cylinder 112 is a conical barrel with a taper consistent with that of the storage barrel 110, and the inner bottom cylinder 112 is in an integral structure with the storage barrel 100 to form a storage barrel 100 with a smooth inner wall, and the outer bottom cylinder 111 is in a cylindrical shape. The storage barrel 110 is connected with the discharging cylinder 120 through a connecting cylinder 130, the inner side of the connecting cylinder 130 is provided with a stepped surface in abutment with the inner bottom cylinder 112, and the outer side of the connecting cylinder 130 is provided with a stepped surface in abutment with the top surface of the discharging cylinder 120. The upper part of the connecting cylinder 130 is located between the inner bottom cylinder 112 and the outer bottom cylinder 111, the lower part of the connecting cylinder 130 is located in the discharging cylinder, the bottom of the connecting cylinder 130 is conical, and the diameter of the discharge port at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 130 is smaller than the diameter of the feeding tray 700. Such a design can not only make the feed in the storage barrel 110 fall onto the feeding tray 700, but also make the feed fall along the periphery of the feeding tray 700 when the feeding tray 700 is lifted. In order to facilitate assembly and fixation, the opposite two outer walls of the connecting cylinder 130 are provided with fixing blocks 140, and the opposite two outer walls of the discharging cylinder 120 are provided with integrally formed connecting plates 150.
[0027] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 The upper part of the discharging cylinder 120 is in a cylindrical body 121 structure, and the lower part of the discharging cylinder 120 is in a conical body 122 structure. The inner diameter of the top of the conical body 122 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper part of the cylindrical body 121 of the discharging cylinder 120, so that the inner wall of the discharging cylinder 120 forms a stepped surface that is inwardly tapered at the connection between the cylindrical body 121 and the conical body 122. The feeding tray 700 is located at the connection between the cylindrical body 121 and the conical body 122 to block the conical body 122 and prevent the feed from falling. Specifically, the feeding tray 700 is located in the stepped surface formed at the connection between the cylindrical body 121 and the conical body 122.
[0028] In this embodiment, the bottom center of the feeding tray 600 is provided with an upward tapered tip. Such a design facilitates feeding of the pigs and prevents multiple pigs from contacting each other when they simultaneously feed by arching their noses, thereby reducing the occurrence of fights. In addition, in order to facilitate the pigs to drink water, the fixed frame 400 is provided with a water pipe 300. The fixed frame 400 is welded from stainless steel profiles and stainless steel pipes.
[0029] In another embodiment of the utility model not shown in the drawings, in order to better avoid the pigs from fighting for food, multiple partition bars are arranged on the fixed frame 400 to separate the feeding tray 600 into multiple feeding positions.
[0030] The dry-wet material trough capable of preventing arching provided by the utility model utilizes the characteristic of pig arching food, arches the material ball body 520 with the nose, lifts the material disc 700 connected on the ball handle 510, a small amount of feed falls into the material basin 600, and the pig eats the feed. When not lifted, the material disc 700 is lowered back to the original position by its own gravity, the length of the bottom of the connecting cylinder 130 limits the lifting height of the material disc 700, controls the material falling amount, and when the material is eaten up, the pig will arch the material disc 700 with the nose again until the pig is full and does not eat the arching material ball 500, so that the material falling mode reduces the feed waste. The setting of the connecting piece 900 can shake and deform when the material disc 700 is lifted, prevents the stress formed by the extrusion of the feed from supporting, so that the feed does not arch, the mode utilizes the habit of pig arching food, the structure is simple, no additional power is needed, the design is ingenious, and the use is strong.
[0031] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model and is not used to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
