Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding tray technology, specifically a piglet feeding tray with a self-cleaning structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern large-scale pig farming, the scientific feeding and management of piglets is crucial to improving breeding efficiency. As the basic equipment for piglets to eat, the performance of the feeding tray directly affects the growth, development and health of piglets. Piglet feeding trays are mostly made of materials such as plastic and stainless steel, with a relatively simple structure, and usually only have the single function of holding feed.

[0003] However, after piglets eat, there is often residual feed inside the feeding tray. This residual feed is prone to bacterial growth. If it is not treated in time, it will not only lead to feed spoilage and waste, but also cause digestive tract diseases in piglets, affecting their growth and development. In severe cases, it may even pollute the breeding environment and increase the risk of disease transmission in the farm. Therefore, we propose a new type of piglet feeding tray with a self-cleaning structure. Utility Model Content

[0037] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0038] Please see Figures 1-5A piglet feeding tray with a self-cleaning structure includes a feeding tray body 1 and a feed cylinder 2. The bottom of the feeding tray body 1 is conical and has an opening located at the axis of the feeding tray body 1. A lifting platform 3 is installed inside the feeding tray body 1. The lifting platform 3 is a combination of a cylinder and a frustum. The outer wall of the cylinder fits against the inner wall of the opening to form a liftable sealed fit. A rotating ring 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the lifting platform 3. The rotating ring 4 can be installed in an annular groove at the upper end of the lifting platform 3 through bearings to achieve flexible rotation. Multiple partition plates 5 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating ring 4. Each partition plate 5 can slide on the outer wall of the lifting platform 3. Two fixing rods 6 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting platform 3. The upper ends of the two fixing rods 6 are connected to the lower end of the feed cylinder 2. The feeding tray body 1 is fixedly connected at both ends. A rotating mechanism 7 is provided on the lifting platform 3, and a stirring mechanism 8 is provided on the material cylinder 2. Fixed plates 9 are fixedly connected to both side walls of the feeding tray body 1. Both fixed plates 9 are L-shaped. Electric telescopic rods 10 are installed at the lower ends of both fixed plates 9. Connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of both electric telescopic rods 10. Both connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the material cylinder 2. Multiple feed inlets 12 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the material cylinder 2. Multiple discharge pipes 13 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the material cylinder 2. Each discharge pipe 13 is composed of a straight pipe and an inclined pipe. Multiple partition plates 5 divide the interior of the feeding tray body 1 into multiple areas. Each discharge pipe 13 corresponds to a corresponding area, and a control valve is installed in each discharge pipe 13.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 7 includes a groove 71 formed in the rotating ring 4, a gear ring 72 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 71, a rotating shaft 73 rotatably connected to the upper end of the lifting platform 3, a first gear 74 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 73, and the first gear 74 meshing with the gear ring 72.

[0040] Furthermore, a first mounting plate 75 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting platform 3. A first motor 76 is mounted on the upper end of the first mounting plate 75. The first motor 76 is a servo motor. The output shaft of the first motor 76 passes through the first mounting plate 75 and is fixedly connected to a second gear 77. The second gear 77 meshes with the first gear 74. By rotating the second gear 77, the first gear 74 meshing with it is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 72 meshing with the first gear 74 to rotate. In this way, during cleaning, the rotating ring 4 can be rotated. When the partition plate 5 rotates with the rotating ring 4, its edge contacts the inner wall of the feeding tray body 1, which can scrape off the feed adhering to the tray wall and then discharge it through the opening. In addition, an external water pipe can be connected to rinse the feeding tray body 1, and the sewage is discharged through the opening.

[0041] Furthermore, the mixing mechanism 8 includes two mixing shafts 81 rotatably connected to the top of the feed cylinder 2. Multiple mixing rods 82 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two mixing shafts 81. The upper ends of the two mixing shafts 81 extend to the outside and are fixedly connected to a third gear 83. The two third gears 83 mesh with each other. The two mixing shafts 81 rotate in opposite directions through the meshing of the third gears 83. Compared with single-shaft mixing, dual-shaft reverse rotation can improve the uniformity of feed (especially when pellets and powders are mixed) and reduce the problem of picky eating in piglets caused by feed stratification.

[0042] Furthermore, a second mounting plate 84 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the material cylinder 2, and a second motor 85 is mounted on the upper end of the second mounting plate 84. The second motor 85 is a servo motor, and the end of the output shaft of the second motor 85 passes through the second mounting plate 84 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of one of the stirring shafts 81.

[0043] Furthermore, a plurality of support legs 14 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the feeding tray body 1, and each support leg 14 is provided with anti-slip texture at the lower end.

[0044] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] When the operator uses the device, feed is put into the feed cylinder 2 through the feed inlet 12 at the upper end of the feed cylinder 2. Then, the second motor 85 is started, which drives one of the stirring shafts 81 connected to it to rotate. Since the third gear 83 at the upper end of the two stirring shafts 81 meshes with each other, the two stirring shafts 81 rotate in opposite directions. This causes the multiple stirring rods 82 to stir and mix the feed in the feed cylinder 2 during the rotation. Especially when mixing pellets and powders, the dual-shaft reverse rotation can improve the uniformity of the feed and reduce the problem of picky eating in piglets caused by feed stratification.

[0046] After the feed is mixed evenly, it is transported to the feeding tray body 1 through multiple discharge pipes 13 at the lower end of the feed cylinder 2. Multiple partition plates 5 divide the interior of the feeding tray body 1 into multiple areas. Each discharge pipe 13 corresponds to a specific area, and each discharge pipe 13 is equipped with a control valve. Operators can open the corresponding control valve according to the number of piglets and their feeding needs to accurately control the amount of feed delivered to each area and achieve on-demand feeding.

[0047] When the feeding tray body 1 needs cleaning after use, the first motor 76 is started, driving the second gear 77 to rotate. The second gear 77 meshes with the first gear 74, thereby driving the first gear 74 to rotate. The first gear 74 meshes with the gear ring 72, which is fixed to the inner wall of the sliding groove 71 in the rotating ring 4. Therefore, the rotation of the gear ring 72 will drive the rotating ring 4 to rotate. The partition plate 5 at the lower end of the rotating ring 4 rotates with the rotating ring 4, and its edge contacts the inner wall of the feeding tray body 1, scraping off the feed adhering to the tray wall. It can also be rinsed through an external water pipe. In addition, since the bottom of the feeding tray body 1 is conical and an opening is provided at the axis, the electric telescopic rod 10 can be started to drive the feed cylinder 2 to rise and fall. Since the lifting platform 3 is fixedly connected to the feed cylinder 2 through the fixed rod 6, the rise and fall of the feed cylinder 2 synchronously drives the lifting platform 3 to move. When cleaning is required, the electric telescopic rod 10 pushes the feed cylinder 2 to rise, and the frustum part of the lifting platform 3 disengages from the opening, exposing the sewage discharge space, which facilitates the discharge of residual feed and sewage through the opening, realizing the self-cleaning function.

[0048] In summary, the self-cleaning piglet feeding tray, through the improvement and optimization of its working principle, achieves uniform feed mixing, precise feeding, and efficient self-cleaning. It effectively solves the problems of uneven feed mixing, easy bacterial growth due to residues, and inconvenient cleaning associated with traditional feeding trays, thereby improving the piglet's feeding experience and feed utilization rate, and reducing the risk of disease transmission in livestock farming.

[0049] 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.
