Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig breeding technology, specifically to a feed trough for pig breeding and nursery pens. Background Technology
[0002] With economic development, the pig farming industry is gradually moving towards intensive and factory-style breeding models. In large-scale pig farming, the nursery stage is a critical period that determines the survival rate and later growth performance of piglets. This places higher demands on the design and performance of nursery feed troughs, requiring the feed troughs to adapt to the needs of large-scale farming and improve breeding efficiency and quality.
[0003] However, when adding feed to the feed trough, the feed is usually poured into the trough through the hopper. However, the feed is unevenly distributed when it falls, which causes pigs in areas where the feed is concentrated to overeat, leading to obesity or digestive problems. Meanwhile, pigs in areas with less feed tend to have insufficient feed intake, slow growth, and reduced herd uniformity, which affects breeding efficiency. Therefore, we propose a new type of feed trough for pig breeding and nursery pens. Utility Model Content

[0038] This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0039] Please see Figures 1-8 The pig breeding and nursery feed trough includes a feed trough body 1. A feed guide box 2 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the feed trough body 1. The feed guide box 2 is inclined, and the inclination angle meets the requirements for feed gravity flow. A discharge port is opened on the side wall of the feed guide box 2 near the feed trough body 1. A sealing door 3 is rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the feed trough body 1. The sealing door 3 is opened during cleaning, allowing residual feed and debris to fall directly into the collection device below (such as a manure ditch or a special garbage can). Two mounting plates 4 are fixedly connected to one side wall of the feed guide box 2. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the upper end of each of the two mounting plates 4. 5. The telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods 5 are fixedly connected to the lifting plate 6. The lower end of the lifting plate 6 is fixedly connected to multiple partition plates 7. The partition plates 7 are divided into horizontal sections and inclined sections. The horizontal section cooperates with the feed trough body 1, and the inclined section cooperates with the feed guide box 2. This can accurately divide the feeding area and prevent pigs from fighting over the feed and causing it to spill. The feed guide box 2 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 8, and the feed trough body 1 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 9. The cleaning mechanism 9 can remove residual feed in the feed trough body 1, prevent the residue from fermenting and breeding bacteria or attracting pests, and reduce the risk of disease in pigs.
[0040] The feeding mechanism 8 includes a moving component 81 and a stirring component 82. The moving component 81 can be set to feed different areas of the feed box 2 to avoid feed accumulation or uneven distribution. The stirring component 82 can stir the feed to prevent clumping and mold due to prolonged storage, ensure the palatability and nutritional balance of the feed, and reduce waste.
[0041] Furthermore, the moving component 81 includes four fixed plates 811 fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide box 2. A first threaded rod 812 is rotatably connected between two fixed plates 811, and a guide rod 813 is fixedly connected between the other two fixed plates 811. The first threaded rod 812 and the guide rod 813 are arranged parallel to each other. A hopper 814 is arranged between the first threaded rod 812 and the guide rod 813. A solenoid valve is provided at the discharge port of the hopper 814. The upper end of the guide box 2 is open to facilitate feeding into the hopper 814. Two connecting plates 815 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hopper 814. One connecting plate 815 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 812, and the other connecting plate 815 is slidably connected to the guide rod 813. Through the cooperation of the first threaded rod 812 and the guide rod 813, the hopper 814 can be moved to realize quantitative feeding into different areas within the guide box 2.
[0042] Furthermore, a first motor 816 is installed on one side wall of one of the fixing plates 811. The first motor 816 is a servo motor. The end of the output shaft of the first motor 816 passes through the corresponding fixing plate 811 and is fixedly connected to one end of the first threaded rod 812.
[0043] Furthermore, the mixing assembly 82 includes three mixing shafts 821 rotatably connected to the inner top of the hopper 814. Each mixing shaft 821 has multiple mixing rods 822 fixedly connected to its outer wall. The upper end of each mixing shaft 821 extends to the outside and is fixedly connected to a gear 823. Adjacent gears 823 mesh with each other, and adjacent mixing shafts 821 rotate in opposite directions to form an interlaced shear force field. In this way, the rotation of multiple mixing rods 822 can agitate the feed and improve the uniformity of the feed.
[0044] Furthermore, an L-shaped plate 824 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hopper 814, and a second motor 825 is installed on the upper end of the L-shaped plate 824. The second motor 825 is a servo motor, and the end of the output shaft of the second motor 825 passes through the L-shaped plate 824 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of one of the stirring shafts 821.
[0045] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 9 includes a chute 91 formed on one side wall of the trough body 1. A second threaded rod 92 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the chute 91. A slider 93 is threaded onto the second threaded rod 92. A moving rod 94 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 93. The moving rod 94 is L-shaped. A moving plate 95 is fixedly connected to the other end of the moving rod 94. The moving plate 95 is U-shaped. The moving plate 95 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the trough body 1. Multiple bristles 96 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the moving plate 95. By moving the bristles 96 back and forth, in conjunction with the external water spraying mechanism, the inside of the trough body 1 can be cleaned. The two working together can significantly improve the cleaning effect. A third motor 97 is installed on the outer wall of the trough body 1. The third motor 97 is a servo motor. The end of the output shaft of the third motor 97 extends into the chute 91 and is fixedly connected to one end of the second threaded rod 92.
[0046] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0047] When the operator uses the device, the first motor 816 is started, which drives the first threaded rod 812 to rotate, causing the corresponding connecting plate 815 to move. The other connecting plate 815 slides along the guide rod 813, which restricts its rotation and only allows linear movement. In this way, the two connecting plates 815 synchronously drive the hopper 814 to move above the feed box 2, realizing the positioning and feeding of different areas. The solenoid valve at the discharge port of the hopper 814 opens or closes according to the preset program to control the amount of feed fed at one time and avoid feed accumulation.
[0048] The second motor 825 is started, driving one of the stirring shafts 821 to rotate, causing the corresponding gear 823 to drive the adjacent gear 823 to rotate in the opposite direction. This results in the three stirring shafts 821 forming an alternating rotation pattern of forward rotation to reverse rotation and then forward rotation. In this way, the stirring shafts 821 drive the stirring rods 822 to rotate, using the alternating shear force field to turn the feed, break up clumps and promote air circulation, preventing the feed from becoming moldy due to prolonged storage. The opposing rotating stirring shafts 821 can generate opposing thrust, causing the feed to convect within the hopper 814, improving the uniformity of mixing.
[0049] Activating the two electric telescopic rods 5 causes the lifting plate 6 to move along with multiple partition plates 7. Then, activating the third motor 97 drives the second threaded rod 92 to rotate, which in turn moves the slider 93. The slider 93 moves the moving plate 95 synchronously via the moving rod 94. The moving plate 95 slides on the upper end of the feed trough body 1, causing multiple bristles 96 to move. The bristles 96 push residual feed to one side, which, together with the external water spraying mechanism, moistens the residue and improves cleaning efficiency. When the bristles 96 return, they further scrape off the adhering debris to ensure no residue remains. In this way, by controlling the reciprocating motion of the slider 93 through the forward and reverse rotation of the third motor 97, full-area coverage cleaning is achieved. When the sealing door 3 is opened, the residue falls into the collection device. 。
[0050] In summary, by improving and optimizing its working principle, the feed trough in pig nursery pens achieves uniform feed delivery, mixing, and automatic cleaning of the trough. This effectively solves the problems of uneven feed distribution leading to unbalanced feed intake, insufficient nutrient intake, and large differences in growth among pigs. At the same time, it reduces feed waste and spoilage risks, reduces manual cleaning costs, and significantly improves breeding efficiency and economic benefits.
[0051] 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.
