Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, with the industrialization and large-scale production of pigs, various feeding devices have emerged, and the feeding process, such as feeding and watering, can be largely automated. Modern pig farms are equipped with pig feeding devices, where feed from feed buckets falls into feeding troughs for the pigs to eat when they need to be fed.

[0003] For example, patent number CN202322921864.4 discloses a technical solution for quantitative feeding of pigs. This technical solution involves placing feed into a feeding tray, where pigs can eat. However, in actual use, this technical solution still has some problems. First, pigs cannot completely consume the food in the feed tray during feeding, and the remaining feed is easily spilled and accumulated, which not only wastes feed but also increases breeding costs. Second, in hot weather, the remaining food residue quickly deteriorates and rots, breeding a large number of harmful bacteria, molds and other microorganisms. If pigs accidentally ingest this, it can easily cause intestinal diseases, infectious diseases and other health problems, seriously affecting the growth rate of pigs and breeding efficiency. Third, the traditional feed tray has a simple structural design, making it difficult to clean automatically. The long-term accumulation of dirt and residue further aggravates bacterial growth, and cleaning requires a lot of manpower, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] according to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a pig feeding device includes a feeding trough 1, a rotating shell 2 rotatably disposed within the feeding trough 1, and further includes: a cleaning assembly disposed within the rotating shell 2 for cleaning the feeding trough 1, comprising a support plate 3 symmetrically rotatably disposed within the rotating shell 2, a fan-shaped cleaning soft plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower side of the support plate 3, and the cleaning soft plate 4 contacting the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 when unfolded; the support plate 3 is hollow inside and has an injection pipe connected to the outside; and a driving unit disposed within the rotating shell 2 for driving the rotating shell 2 to rotate and driving the support plate 3 to unfold.

[0021] The cleaning assembly also includes a storage box 5 installed inside the rotating shell 2 for storing the cleaning soft plate 4. The end of the support plate 3 is provided with multiple teeth 6. The liquid injection pipe is connected to the water tank 19 located on the upper side of the rotating shell 2, which facilitates driving the cleaning soft plate 4 to be stored and also facilitates driving it to unfold for cleaning.

[0022] The drive unit includes a drive assembly for unfolding the support plate 3 and a rotation assembly for rotating the rotating shell 2. When the rotation assembly is working, the drive assembly simultaneously drives the support plate 3 to unfold. The drive assembly includes a first gear 7 rotatably disposed inside the rotating shell 2 and meshing with the teeth 6. A gearbox 8 is installed inside the rotating shell 2, and a reversing gear 9 is installed at the output end of the gearbox 8. The reversing gear 9 is connected to one of the first gears 7. An electric telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the input end of the gearbox 8, and a second gear 11 is installed at the end of the electric telescopic rod 10, so that the two support plates 3 can be unfolded into a fan shape to facilitate the contact and cleaning of the inner wall of the trough 1.

[0023] The rotating assembly includes a fixed rod 14 fixedly installed inside the feeding trough 1, and a rotating shell 2 rotatably mounted on the fixed rod 14. A path gear 15 is installed on the fixed rod 14, and a drive motor 12 is installed inside the rotating shell 2. Two third gears 13 are installed at the output end of the drive motor 12. One of the third gears 13 is movably meshed with the second gear 11, and the other third gear 13 is meshed with the path gear 15, which facilitates the rotation and cleaning of the feeding trough 1 and ensures its cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0024] The lower sides of the rotating shell 2 and the feeding trough 1 form a collection cavity, which is closed by a closing assembly disposed between the rotating shell 2 and the feeding trough 1. The closing assembly includes a sealing plate 16 installed in the feeding trough 1, and the sealing plate 16 has multiple slots. Multiple rotating blocks 17 with the same shape as the slots are installed on the rotating shell 2, and the rotating blocks 17 are rotatably disposed on the lower side of the sealing plate 16 to facilitate the collection of waste liquid and waste residue generated during cleaning.

[0025] The collection chamber is also equipped with a filter screen 18, and an opening and closing plate is also movably installed on the outside of the collection chamber to facilitate the filtration of waste residue and separate the liquid and waste residue.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 In the initial state, the two support plates 3 are stored inside the rotating shell 2, and the cleaning soft plate 4 on the rear side of the support plates 3 is folded and stored. At this time, the sealing plate 16 and the rotating block 17 are in a closed state. Pig feed can then be poured into the feeding trough 1 to feed the pigs. After feeding, there will be food residue inside the feeding trough 1. To prevent the residue from deteriorating, it can be cleaned as follows:

[0027] refer to Figure 4The electric telescopic rod 10 is extended, causing the second gear 11 mounted on the electric telescopic rod 10 to mesh with one of the third gears 13. At the same time, the other third gear 13 meshes with the path gear 15. Subsequently, the drive motor 12 is controlled to work. When the drive motor 12 works, both third gears 13 rotate simultaneously. When the third gear 13 on the path gear 15 rotates, the third gear 13 drives the rotating shell 2 to rotate around the axis of the fixed rod 14 with the path gear 15 as the path. During the rotation, Figure 3 The sealing plate 16 and rotating block 17 are intermittently open to facilitate the collection of food residue. When the third gear 13 on the second gear 11 rotates, the third gear 13 drives the second gear 11 to rotate. At the same time, the reversing gear 9 installed at the output end of the gearbox 8 drives the first gear 7 to rotate. Figure 5 The teeth 6 mesh, so when the first gear 7 rotates, the support plate 3 will rotate around its mounting axis, causing the angle between the storage box 5 and the support plate 3 to expand into a fan-shaped surface. Simultaneously, this expanded fan-shaped surface contacts the inner wall of the feeding trough 1. Combined with the rotation of the rotating shell 2, this effectively cleans the inner wall of the feeding trough 1. Meanwhile, liquid is injected into the support plate 3 through the injection pipe in the water tank 19. This, combined with the rotation of the rotating shell 2, effectively ensures the cleanliness of the feeding trough 1, and the rinsing liquid and residue gradually enter the water tank 19. Figure 3 The filter screen 18 above the collection chamber can effectively filter the material. After the equipment is used, simply reverse the above steps to store the support plate 3.

[0028] This invention utilizes a drive unit that, in conjunction with the rotation of the support plate 3, effectively unfolds the cleaning plate 4 into a fan-shaped surface. The sidewalls of this fan-shaped surface effectively scrub the inner wall of the feeding trough 1, ensuring its cleanliness and preventing food residue from remaining and spoiling the food. When not in use, the support plate 3 and the cleaning plate 4 can be stored in the rotating shell 2, preventing them from unfolding and affecting the pigs' feeding. This further improves the practicality and ease of use of the equipment.

[0029] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
