Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piglet nursery technology, specifically a foldable piglet nursery box. Background Technology

[0002] In modern pig farming, piglet nursery boxes are key equipment for improving piglet survival rates and growth quality. Newborn piglets have weak thermoregulation capabilities and are very sensitive to environmental temperature. For example, piglets aged 1-3 days need an environment maintained at 30-35℃. Nursery boxes, through precise temperature control and isolation protection, create a safe and warm growth environment for piglets, effectively reducing mortality rates caused by low temperatures, diseases, and other factors, which is crucial for improving farming efficiency.

[0003] Most piglet nursery boxes on the market are currently one-piece structures. While these boxes adequately meet the survival needs of piglets during the nursery stage, once they reach a certain size, they need to be transferred to fattening pens. At this point, the unused nursery boxes, due to their large size, occupy a significant amount of space when stored idle. For large-scale farms, storing dozens of nursery boxes after they become idle not only occupies storage space but also requires additional storage area planning, easily leading to wasted space resources, management inconvenience, and increased breeding costs. To effectively solve the problems of large space occupation and inconvenient storage of traditional nursery boxes when idle, and to improve space utilization and management efficiency, we propose a foldable piglet nursery box. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a foldable piglet nursery box, which can effectively solve the problems of large space occupation and inconvenient storage when traditional nursery boxes are not in use, thereby improving space utilization and management efficiency.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] This invention provides a foldable piglet nursery box. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0014] This foldable piglet nursery box, during use, consists of two sets of mounting plates, side plates, hinge blocks, and connecting plates forming a stable box body. The linkage of components such as screws and insertion holes, and sliders and first sliding grooves ensures a robust box structure, providing a safe growth environment for piglets. When piglets are moved, simply turn the knob in the opposite direction to pull out the connecting plate, causing the slider to disengage from the first sliding groove and the second slider to enter the fourth sliding groove. Then, the connecting plate can be rotated to fit against the mounting plate, and the side plates can be folded towards the mounting plate, significantly reducing the nursery box's volume. This effectively solves the problems of traditional nurseries occupying a large amount of space and being inconvenient to store when not in use, improving space utilization and management efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable piglet nursery box, including two sets of mounting plates 1. Two sets of side plates 2 are hinged to each other on one side of the two sets of mounting plates 1. A hinge block 3 is hinged between the two sets of side plates 2. Connecting plates 8 are provided above and below the mounting plates 1. Sliding strips 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plates 8. First sliding grooves 11 matching the sliding strips 9 are provided on both the mounting plates 1 and the side plates 2. The sliding strips 9 are slidably connected to the first sliding grooves 11. A first slider 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 8, and the first slider 15 slides with the first sliding groove 11. The first slider 15 is fixedly connected to the side away from the connecting plate 8 with the second slider 16. The mounting plate 1 and the side plate 2 are both provided with second slide grooves 12 that match the second slider 16. The second slider 16 is slidably connected to the second slide groove 12. Several sets of connecting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1. The connecting blocks 5 are provided with third slide grooves 13 that communicate with the first slide groove 11. The first slider 15 is movably connected to the third slide groove 13. The connecting blocks 5 are provided with fourth slide grooves 14 that communicate with the second slide groove 12. The second slider 16 is movably connected to the fourth slide groove 14.

[0025] The mounting plate 1 has several sets of screws 18 threaded on it. The second slider 16 has a socket 17 that matches the screws 18. A knob 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 18 away from the socket 17.

[0026] In use, the mounting plate 1, side plate 2, hinge block 3, and connecting plate 8 form a nursery box. Piglets are placed inside, and the knob 10 can be manually turned to rotate the screw 18, inserting it into the socket 17 to ensure a stable connection. Once the piglets reach a certain size, they are transferred to the fattening pen. At this point, the knob 10 can be turned in the opposite direction to disengage the screw 18 from the socket 17. Then, the connecting plate 8 is pulled towards the corresponding connecting block 5, disengaging the slider 9 from the first slide groove 11 and allowing the second slider 16 to enter the fourth slide groove 14. The connecting plate 8 is then rotated to fit snugly against the mounting plate 1. After losing the support of the connecting plate 8, the side plate 2 can be manually folded between the two sets of mounting plates 1, thus completing the folding of the entire nursery box. Folding significantly reduces its space requirement, effectively solving the problem of large space occupation and inconvenient storage when traditional nurseries are not in use, improving space utilization and management efficiency.

[0027] An inlet / outlet is provided on the front mounting plate 1, and a movable door 4 matching the inlet / outlet is slidably installed on the front mounting plate 1. This facilitates the entry and exit of piglets from the nursery box.

[0028] The upper connecting plate 8 has mounting holes 6, and a heat lamp is installed in the mounting holes 6 to maintain the temperature in the incubator.

[0029] An observation window 7 is provided on the upper connecting plate 8, and the observation window 7 is equipped with hollow glass. This allows the farmers to observe the condition of the piglets.

[0030] Mounting plate 1, side plate 2, hinge block 3, and connecting plate 8 are all made of polypropylene (PP) material. They offer good thermal insulation, some impact resistance, and are lightweight and easy to clean.

[0031] Working Principle: When this foldable piglet nursery box is in operation, the box structure consists of two sets of mounting plates 1, side plates 2, hinge blocks 3, and connecting plates 8. Piglets are placed into the box through the inlet / outlet. Manually turning the knob 10 rotates the screw 18, causing it to insert into the socket 17 of the second slider 16. This, combined with the sliding connection between the slider 9 and the first groove 11, ensures a stable connection of all components. When the piglets need to be transferred to the fattening pen, turning the knob 10 in the opposite direction disengages the screw 18 from the socket 17, pulling the connecting plate 8 towards the connecting block 5. This causes the slider 9 to disengage from the first groove 11, and the second slider 16 to enter the fourth groove 14. Rotating the connecting plate 8 again allows it to fold between the two sets of mounting plates 1, significantly reducing the box's volume. This effectively solves the storage problems of traditional nursery boxes, improving space utilization and management efficiency.
