Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of large-scale farming, higher demands are being placed on intelligent farming equipment and technologies. In modern high-yield pig breeds, the number of newborn piglets is large, easily exceeding the sow's normal feeding capacity, resulting in unmet feed needs; or, when the sow is sick, she cannot provide all the necessary nutrition for the piglets. Therefore, during the rapid growth of piglets, frequent supplementation is necessary to compensate for the insufficient milk feed from the sow. Currently, when supplementing piglets with milk, the farmer usually weighs and mixes the milk manually before pouring it directly into the feeding trough. In large-scale farming, due to the large number of piglets, the workload is heavy, the work efficiency is low, and errors are prone to occur in the milk mixing process, making precise feeding impossible and causing differences among piglets. Based on the above problems, existing technologies need further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a safe and residue-free piglet supplemental milk system includes a feeding device 1, a weighing device 2, a mixing device 3, a conveying device 4, and feeding devices 5. The feeding device 1 is used to provide the required raw materials. The weighing device 2 is located at the end of the feeding device 1 and is used to weigh the raw materials. The mixing device 3 is located at the end of the weighing device 2 and is used to mix the raw materials. The conveying device 4 includes a supplemental milk pipeline 41, an air inlet pipeline 42, a water inlet pipeline 43, a conveying pump 44, and a conveying pipeline 45. The supplemental milk pipeline 41 is connected to the end of the mixing device 3. The supplemental milk pipeline 41, the air inlet pipeline 42, and the water inlet pipeline 43 are arranged in parallel and are all connected to the conveying pump 44 through a multi-way control valve. The conveying pump 44 is connected to one end of the conveying pipeline 45, and the other end of the conveying pipeline 45 is located above the feeding devices 5. Multiple feeding devices 5 are provided.
[0028] This invention provides a safe and residue-free piglet supplementation system, particularly suitable for piglet supplementation. It automates the process, reducing manual intervention and increasing efficiency. It enables precise feeding, promoting healthy growth and development. The system uses a feeding device 1 and a weighing device 2 to add the required amount of raw materials, such as milk powder, to a mixing device 3. After adding the required amount of water and mixing thoroughly, the mixture enters a conveying device 4, which delivers the necessary amount of milk to the appropriate feeding trough. Each delivery delivers only the amount needed for one trough, allowing for personalized feeding that benefits the development of different piglets. The automated operation is convenient, reducing manual labor and increasing efficiency.
[0029] During the specific delivery process, the milk replenishment pipeline 41 is connected to the mixing device 3. The mixed milk is input into the delivery pipeline 45. The delivery pump 44 provides power to deliver the milk into the delivery pipeline 45. Then, the valve is switched to connect the air intake pipeline 42, and high-pressure gas is introduced to deliver the milk into the feeding device 5. At the same time, water and air are used alternately as power sources to clean the delivery pipeline 45 in a timely manner, realizing cleaning while delivering. This makes the operation more convenient, more hygienic, and leaves no residue. It also prevents food residue in the delivery pipeline 45 from spoiling and affecting the quality of subsequent feeding, making it more suitable for the growth and development of piglets.
[0030] Based on the above technical solution, a heater 6 is also connected to the water inlet pipe 43.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a heater 6 is installed on the water inlet pipe 43 to heat the water and output hot or warm water, which is more conducive to the growth and development of piglets. It also facilitates the cleaning of the delivery pipe 45, saves energy, and ensures feeding effectiveness. It is understood that the heater can be obtained from existing technology and can adopt a principle similar to that of a gas water heater or an electric water heater, as long as it can heat the water in the water inlet pipe.
[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the feeding device 1 includes a storage bin 11, a feeding trough 12, a feeding auger 13, and a first driving component 14. The feeding trough 12 is located at the bottom of the storage bin 11 and a feeding port 15 is provided corresponding to the opening at the bottom of the storage bin 11.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, the storage tank 11 is provided with stirring teeth 16, which are driven to rotate by the second driving component 17.
[0034] The top of the storage hopper 11 is detachably connected to a cover 18.
[0035] The feeding device 1 is provided for storing and transporting raw materials. Specifically, in the initial state, the raw materials are located in the storage tank 11. After receiving a signal that milk needs to be replenished, the first driving component 14 drives the feeding auger 13 to rotate. Under the action of the feeding auger 13, the raw materials in the storage tank 11 are output from the feeding trough 12 and fall into the weighing box 21. More preferably, the top of the storage tank 11 is provided with a cover 18 to facilitate the replenishment of raw materials. The storage tank 11 is provided with stirring teeth 16, which are driven to rotate by the second driving component 17 to facilitate the unloading of materials. Since some raw materials have small particle size, this prevents the feeding port from being blocked and affecting the discharge. At the same time, it can also prevent the raw materials from clumping during storage and help to disperse them.
[0036] Based on the above technical solution, the weighing device 2 includes a weighing box 21, a weighing sensor 22, a conveying trough 23, and a conveying auger 24. The weighing box 21 is provided with a main feed inlet 25. The weighing sensor 22 is located at the bottom of the weighing box 21. One end of the conveying trough 23 is located inside the weighing box 21. The conveying auger 24 is located inside the conveying trough 23 and is driven to rotate by a third driving component 26. The bottom of the conveying trough 23 located outside the weighing box 21 is provided with a conveying outlet 27.
[0037] Based on the above technical solution, the main feed inlet 25 is provided with multiple inlets, and the side wall of the weighing box 21 is also provided with an auxiliary feed inlet 28 located on one side of the main feed inlet 25.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the main feed inlet 25 is connected to the feed trough 12 in the feeding device 1, meaning that the feeding auger 13 transports the required feed to the weighing box 21 for weighing. By providing the auxiliary feed inlet 28, it is convenient to add supplementary nutrients or medications when needed, ensuring accurate weighing and precise feeding.
[0039] By setting up a weighing device 2, the raw materials required in the actual feeding process can be accurately weighed and taken out, so as to achieve scientific and precise feeding. Specifically, the weighing box 2 receives the raw materials conveyed by the feeding device 1, enters from the main feed port 25, weighs the required amount of raw materials by the weighing sensor 22, and outputs the required raw materials from the conveying trough 23 by the conveying auger 24, and outputs them from the conveying outlet 27 to the mixing device 3 for subsequent mixing.
[0040] Based on the above technical solution, the mixing device 3 includes a mixing tank 31, a liquid pipeline 32, a stirring part 33, and a fourth driving component 34. The top of the mixing tank 31 is correspondingly disposed at the end of the weighing device 2. The end of the liquid pipeline 32 is disposed inside the mixing tank 31 for conveying liquid. The stirring part 33 is disposed inside the mixing tank 31 and is driven to rotate by the fourth driving component 34. The mixing tank 31 is also provided with a wet material outlet 35.
[0041] The mixing device 3 can mix dry raw materials such as milk powder with liquids such as water to form a uniform milk solution, which is then delivered to the feeding trough of each piglet for feeding. Specifically, the top of the mixing tank 31 is positioned below the conveying outlet 27 to receive dry materials such as milk powder output from the conveying outlet 27, as well as water in a corresponding proportion delivered from the liquid pipeline 32. The fourth driving component 34 drives the stirring unit 33 to rotate, mixing the dry materials and water evenly, and then outputting the mixture from the wet material outlet 35 on the mixing tank 31. The terms "first end" and "last end" mentioned above are defined according to the material conveying direction and are only for the convenience of describing and understanding this technical solution, and do not constitute a limitation of this application.
[0042] Based on the above technical solution, the feeding device 5 includes a mounting partition 51, a feeding trough 52, and a material level sensor 53. The end of the conveying pipeline 45 is fixedly mounted on the mounting partition 51, the feeding trough 52 is located below the mounting partition 51, and the material level sensor 53 is fixedly mounted on the mounting partition 51 with its end located inside the feeding trough 52.
[0043] The feeding device 5 is equipped with multiple corresponding conveying pipes 45, which can supply multiple piglets. At the same time, each piglet is provided with its own feeding trough 52, which can achieve personalized and precise feeding and is more hygienic. Each feeding trough 52 is equipped with a feed level sensor 53 to monitor the piglets' feeding status in a timely manner, allowing for small and frequent meals and providing fresh milk in real time, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the milk consumed, which is more conducive to scientific feeding.
[0044] Based on the above technical solution, a protrusion 521 is provided inside the feeding trough 52, and the end of the conveying pipe 45 is correspondingly provided with the top of the protrusion 521.
[0045] By providing a protrusion 521 inside the feed trough 52, it can play an auxiliary role in guiding the flow during the material discharge process of the conveying pipeline 45, avoiding splashing and reducing the existing hygiene risks.
[0046] In a more preferred embodiment, the delivery pipeline 45 is a milk replenishment tube with an outer diameter of 12 mm and an inner diameter of 9 mm.
[0047] By using a smaller diameter feeding tube, very small amounts of feed can be delivered each time, making the feeding more precise.
[0048] Based on the above technical solution, pressure sensors and one-way valves are installed on the milk replenishment pipeline 41, air inlet pipeline 42, water inlet pipeline 43 and delivery pipeline 45.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, pressure sensors and one-way valves are installed in multiple pipelines to ensure the safety and stability of the milk during transportation. By installing pressure sensors, the operating status of each pipeline in the system can be detected in real time. If the system detects abnormal pressure in the pipeline, it will promptly report it to the staff for handling to avoid losses and effectively prevent liquid backflow from affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
[0050] The first drive component 14, the second drive component 17, the third drive component 26 and the fourth drive component 34 mentioned above all adopt the structure of drive motor or drive motor combined with belt transmission mechanism, which can realize the operation of the driven component.
