Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a feeding trough for pig farming. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of the global intelligent transformation of animal husbandry, my country's pig farming industry is undergoing a leapfrog development from traditional free-range farming to intensive and industrialized production models. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country's pig inventory reached 450 million heads in 2023, with large-scale farms (annual output of over 500 pigs) accounting for 65%. This industrial upgrading process has exposed significant shortcomings in traditional feeding systems. For example, in the breeding process, feed troughs are typically used for feeding. Adding too much feed at once can easily cause it to fall out of the trough while the pigs are eating, resulting in feed waste. Adding too little feed can lead to insufficient food intake, affecting pig growth. Currently, pig farms typically control the amount of feed in the troughs by having workers periodically check and add feed. However, for large pig farms with many pigs, staff need to monitor the amount of feed in the troughs in real time, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a new type of testing tool has emerged. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent CN220674783U discloses an automatically filling feeding trough for pig farming, comprising a base plate, a support block, a feeding trough, a storage box, and a feed hopper. The support block is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the upper surface of the base plate, and the feeding trough is embedded in the outer side of the upper surface of the support block. A transmission assembly is included. When feeding pigs, feed is added to the storage box through the feed hopper. While feeding, the pigs stand on a lifting platform. Under the weight of the pigs, the lifting platform moves downwards, compressing the spring. The lifting platform, through a connecting plate, drives a rack downwards, which in turn drives a gear to rotate. The gear rotates a pin, causing the pin to rotate a rotating door outwards. Feed is discharged from the discharge port below the outer surface of the storage box and falls into the feeding trough, achieving automatic filling. This eliminates the need to add excessive feed to the feeding trough at once, preventing feed waste during pig feeding. However, the above-mentioned feeding troughs lack cleaning structures, and the feed left on the inner wall of the feeding trough is prone to mold and bacteria growth, which affects the health of the pigs. The above-mentioned feeding troughs do not have a stirring and mixing structure or a uniform feeding structure, which makes it easy for the feed to be unevenly mixed and accumulate in a certain place in the feeding trough. Therefore, a feeding trough for pig farming is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a feeding trough for pig farming.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a feeding trough for pig farming, including a feeding trough 1, two mounting plates 2 fixed on one side thereon, a horizontal moving device, a mixing tank 3, a distributing tank 4, and a uniform feeding device. The horizontal moving device is located between the two mounting plates 2, and its moving end is connected to the mixing tank 3. The discharge port of the mixing tank 3 is connected to the inlet of the distributing tank 4 through a connecting pipe 5. The uniform feeding device is located at the discharge port of the distributing tank 4, which can evenly guide the feed in the distributing tank 4 into the feeding trough 1. A scraper 6 for cleaning the feeding trough 1 is detachably installed at the lower end of the distributing tank 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, various types of pig feed are introduced into the mixing tank 3 through the inlet. The mixing device inside the mixing tank 3 can mix the pig feed. The mixed pig feed is discharged into the distribution tank 4 through the connecting pipe 5. Under the action of the uniform feeding device, the pig feed in the distribution tank 4 is evenly introduced into the feeding trough 1 from the outlet of the distribution tank 4. With the cooperation of the horizontal moving device, the pig feed is spread evenly in the feeding trough 1, and there will be no excessive accumulation in one place.

[0032] Specifically, the horizontal moving device includes a first motor 71, a threaded rod 72, a drive block 73, and a guide rod 74. The first motor 71 is mounted on one of the mounting plates 2 via a first mounting base, and its output shaft is horizontally arranged and coaxially connected to the threaded rod 72. The end of the threaded rod 72 away from the first motor 71 is rotatably connected to the other mounting plate 2. The drive block 73 has a threaded through hole, and it is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 72 through the threaded through hole. The two ends of the guide rod 74 are fixedly connected to the two mounting plates 2 respectively, and one end passes through the drive block 73 and is slidably connected to it. The mixing tank 3 is mounted on the drive block 73.

[0033] The first motor 71 is started, and its output torque is transmitted to the threaded rod 72 via a coupling. Since the drive block 73 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 72 through a threaded hole, the rotation of the threaded rod 72 drives the drive block 73 to move horizontally. The drive block 73 then drives the mixing tank 3 and the distribution tank 4 to move horizontally. The guide rod 74 ensures more stable movement of the drive block 73.

[0034] More specifically, it also includes a sliding block 751 and a sliding track 752. The sliding block 751 is fixed to the lower end of the drive block 73, and the sliding track 752 is located between the two mounting plates 2 and is arranged parallel to the threaded rod 72.

[0035] The sliding block 751 slides on the sliding track 752, which makes the drive block 73 move more stably and can share the pressure caused by the gravity of the mixing tank 3 and the distribution tank 4 with the threaded rod 72 and the guide rod 74.

[0036] Specifically, it also includes a stirring device, which is located inside the stirring tank 3. The stirring device includes a second motor 81 and a stirring rod 82. The second motor 81 is mounted on the lower end of the stirring tank 3 through a second mounting base, and its output shaft is vertically arranged and coaxially connected to the stirring rod 82. The stirring rod 82 is located inside the stirring tank 3.

[0037] The second motor 81 is started, and the output torque of the second motor 81 is transmitted to the stirring rod 82 through the coupling. The rotation of the stirring rod 82 can mix and stir various kinds of pig feed in the mixing tank 3.

[0038] Specifically, the uniform feeding device includes a third motor 91 and a feeding plate 92. The third motor 91 is installed at the lower end of the distribution tank 4 through a third mounting base, and its output shaft is vertically set and coaxially connected to the feeding plate 92. The feeding plate 92 is located in the distribution tank 4, and it can make the discharge port of the distribution tank 4 discharge material evenly.

[0039] Start the third motor 91. The output torque of the third motor 91 is transmitted to the feeding plate 92 through the coupling. Since the feeding plate 92 has a V-shaped notch, the pig feed can be evenly discharged from the outlet of the feeding tank 4 during the rotation process.

[0040] Preferably, the scraping surface of the scraper 6 is serrated.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model:

[0042] Various types of pig feed are introduced into mixing tank 3 through the inlet. The second motor 81 is started, and its output torque is transmitted to the stirring rod 82 through a coupling. The rotation of the stirring rod 82 mixes the various types of pig feed in mixing tank 3. The mixed pig feed is discharged into the distribution tank 4 through the connecting pipe 5. The third motor 91 is started, and its output torque is transmitted to the feeding plate 92 through a coupling. Because the feeding plate 92 has a V-shaped notch, the pig feed can be evenly discharged from the outlet of the distribution tank 4 during its rotation. At the same time, the first motor 71 is started, and its output torque is transmitted to the threaded rod 72 through a coupling. Since the drive block 73 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 72 through a threaded through hole, the rotation of the threaded rod 72 can drive the drive block 73 to move horizontally. The drive block 73 will drive the mixing tank 3 and the distribution tank 4 to move horizontally. With the simultaneous operation of the first motor 71 and the third motor 91, the pig feed will be evenly spread in the feeding trough 1, and there will be no excessive accumulation in any one place.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
