AI Technical Summary
The flat-bottomed structure of existing pig feed troughs leads to high feed residue rates, especially for small-particle powdery feed. Existing improvement solutions, such as tilting feed troughs, have problems with complex structures and high manufacturing costs.
Design a feeding trough for pig farming, with an arc-shaped bottom conforming to the equation r=a(1+cosθ), combined with the gradual curvature characteristics of the inner and outer curved walls, and an anti-overflow edge set at the bottom of the trough. The pig's tongue naturally scrapes the bottom of the trough to reduce feed residue.
It achieves a feed residue rate reduction of over 85%, and features easy cleaning and high strength, making it suitable for large-scale pig farms.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed basins, and in particular to a feed basin for pig farming. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing pig feed troughs use a flat-bottomed structure made of stainless steel (such as...). Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, in actual use, pigs' tongues cannot easily reach the bottom edge of the feed trough when they eat, resulting in feed residue easily remaining at the bottom of flat-bottomed feed troughs, especially for small powdery feed particles. Statistics show that the feed residue rate in traditional flat-bottomed feed troughs can reach 5% to 8%, causing not only waste but also making the residue prone to mold and leading to intestinal diseases in pigs. Existing improvement solutions, such as inclined feed troughs, suffer from complex structures and high manufacturing costs, and have not been effectively promoted. Utility Model Content

[0021] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3 This utility model provides a feeding basin for pig farming, including a basin body 100. A cone-shaped upward-protruding structure 101 is provided at the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the basin body 100. The bottom of the basin body 100 has an arc-shaped structure. The wall of the basin body 100 on the longitudinal section near the upward-protruding structure 101 is an inner curved wall 102. The curve of the inner curved wall 102 satisfies the Cartesian cardioid equation r = a(1 + cosθ), where the parameter a ranges from 2.4 to 2.6 cm, and the angle θ ranges from 0 to 40°. The wall of the basin body 100 on the longitudinal section away from the upward-protruding structure 101 is an outer curved wall 103. The curve of the outer curved wall 103 satisfies the Cartesian cardioid equation r = a(1 + cosθ), where the parameter a ranges from 2.1 to 2.3 cm, and the angle θ ranges from 0 to 40°.
[0023] When in use, the flat bottom of the traditional feed trough is improved to a linear arc bottom that conforms to the equation r=a(1+cosθ). The curvature gradually changes so that the pig's tongue naturally scrapes the bottom of the trough when eating. Combined with the anti-overflow edge design 104, the feed residue rate is reduced by more than 85%. This application has the characteristics of easy cleaning and high strength, and is suitable for large-scale pig farms.
[0024] In this embodiment, the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped bottom of the basin 100 decreases from the center to the edge.
[0025] In this embodiment, the angle between the edge of the arc-shaped bottom of the basin 100 and the horizontal plane is 45° to 60°.
[0026] In this embodiment, the opening of the basin 100 is provided with an inwardly folded anti-overflow edge 104.
[0027] In this embodiment, the width of the anti-overflow edge 104 is 5-7 cm.
[0028] In this embodiment, the basin 100 is made of stainless steel.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] By improving the flat bottom of the traditional feed trough to a linear arc bottom that conforms to the equation r=a(1+cosθ), the gradual curvature characteristics allow the pig's tongue to naturally scrape the bottom of the trough when feeding. Combined with the anti-overflow edge design 104, the feed residue rate is reduced by more than 85%. This application features easy cleaning and high strength, and is suitable for large-scale pig farms.
