Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig farming equipment, and in particular to a feed trough for pig farming. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of pig farming, especially the raising of piglets, feeding is an essential part. When feeding piglets, the mixed feed is loaded into the feed trough so that the piglets can eat on their own.
[0003] Existing feed troughs for piglets are circular, tray-shaped containers. To prevent piglets from competing for food and improve feeding efficiency, these troughs are equipped with a dividing mechanism in the middle to separate the feed into multiple feeding areas. These existing dividing mechanisms are mostly iron frame structures welded together, resulting in fixed feeding spaces. When adapting to changes in piglet size, this fixed feeding space leads to wasted space and also prevents larger piglets from eating. Therefore, this solution proposes a new type of feed trough for pig farming to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] 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.
[0030] Example 1: This utility model provides the following... Figure 1 - Figure 3 The feed trough for pig farming shown includes a feed tray 1 and a support ring 2. The feed tray 1 has a distributed protrusion 101 in the middle of the bottom end. The support ring 2 is sleeved on the top of the feed tray 1. The top of the feed tray 1 has an installation ring groove 102, and the support ring 2 is sleeved in the installation ring groove 102.
[0031] It should be noted that, through the structural design of the dispersing protrusions 101, when feed is poured into the feeding tray 1, the feed will be dispersed and slid to the inner side of the bottom of the feeding tray 1 under the guidance of the dispersing protrusions 101, thereby facilitating piglets to eat. Through the structural design of the mounting ring groove 102, after the support ring 2 is set into the mounting ring groove 102, the top surface of the support ring 2 and the top surface of the feeding tray 1 are kept at the same height.
[0032] Specifically, the top of the mounting ring groove 102 has multiple fixing grooves 103, and the top of the support ring 2 is fixedly connected to multiple fixing plates 201. The multiple fixing plates 201 are respectively sleeved in the multiple fixing grooves 103, and the multiple fixing plates 201 are detachably connected to the multiple fixing grooves 103.
[0033] It should be noted that the direct structural cooperation between the fixing plate 201 and the fixing groove 103 allows the support ring 2 to be detachably installed on the top of the material tray 1 with the help of the bolt structure, thereby preventing the support ring 2 from rotating on the top of the material tray 1.
[0034] Example 2: This utility model provides the following... Figure 4 - Figure 6 The supporting structure and partitioning mechanism shown are applied to a pig farming feed trough in Embodiment 1, with the supporting structure positioned above the center of the feed tray 1.
[0035] Specifically, the supporting structure includes:
[0036] Interlocking rings 3, multiple interlocking rings 3 are arranged vertically above the material tray 1. In this scheme, two interlocking rings 3 are arranged vertically and concentrically.
[0037] Connecting rods 301, multiple connecting rods 301 are fixedly connected around the inner ring walls of multiple interpenetrating rings 3. The connecting rods 301 are used to connect and combine multiple interpenetrating rings 3, and two interpenetrating rings 3 are concentrically fixed through multiple connecting rods 301.
[0038] The dividing mechanism is located between the support structure and the support ring 2. The dividing mechanism is used to divide the feeding area of the material tray 1, and the dividing mechanism is used to cooperate with the support ring 2 to suspend and support the support structure. A connecting structure is provided between the dividing mechanism, the support ring 2 and the support structure. The connecting structure is used for the dividing mechanism to slide and adjust around the support ring 2 and the support structure. The dividing mechanism is located between the outer ring wall of the through ring 3 and the inner ring wall of the support ring 2.
[0039] Specifically, the separating mechanism includes a vertical separating rod 4, a diagonal separating rod 5, and a horizontal separating rod 6. The two ends of the vertical separating rod 4, the diagonal separating rod 5, and the horizontal separating rod 6 are connected in sequence, and the vertical separating rod 4, the diagonal separating rod 5, and the horizontal separating rod 6 form a triangular frame structure. The corners of the triangular frame are connected to the interlocking ring 3 and the support ring 2 through a connecting structure.
[0040] It should be noted that the triangular structure formed by the vertical dividing bar 4, the diagonal dividing bar 5, and the horizontal dividing bar 6 makes the structural strength of the entire dividing mechanism more stable.
[0041] Furthermore, the connection structure includes:
[0042] The first arc-shaped sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the connection between the dividing diagonal bar 5 and the dividing horizontal bar 6, and the first arc-shaped sleeve 7 is slidably sleeved on the inner ring wall of the support ring 2. The inner ring wall of the support ring 2 is provided with a first ring groove 202. The inner arc wall of the first arc-shaped sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to a first slider 701, and the first slider 701 is slidably inserted into the first ring groove 202.
[0043] It should be noted that the first arc-shaped sleeve 7 is partially wrapped around the inner ring wall of the support ring 2. In this way, the first arc-shaped sleeve 7 abuts against the inner ring wall of the support ring 2, so that the connection between the dividing diagonal bar 5 and the dividing cross bar 6 abuts against the inner ring wall of the support ring 2. At the same time, the sliding interlocking between the first slider 701 and the first ring groove 202 makes it difficult for the first arc-shaped sleeve 7 to fall off the inner ring wall of the support ring 2.
[0044] The second arc-shaped sleeve 8, and multiple second arc-shaped sleeves 8 are respectively set at the connection between the dividing diagonal bar 5 and the dividing horizontal bar 6 and the dividing vertical bar 4. The second arc-shaped sleeve 8 is slidably sleeved on the outer ring wall of the inserting ring 3. The outer ring wall of the inserting ring 3 is provided with a second ring groove 302. The inner arc wall of the second arc-shaped sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to a second slider 801. The second slider 801 is slidably inserted into the second ring groove 302.
[0045] It should be noted that the second arc-shaped sleeve 8 is partially enclosed and fitted onto the inner ring wall of the interlocking ring 3. This allows the second arc-shaped sleeve 8 to abut against the outer ring wall of the interlocking ring 3, ensuring that the connections between the dividing diagonal rod 5 and the dividing horizontal rod 6 and the dividing vertical rod 4 abut against the outer ring walls of the two sets of interlocking rings 3. Simultaneously, the sliding interlocking between the second slider 801 and the second ring groove 302 prevents the second arc-shaped sleeve 8 from falling off the outer ring wall of the interlocking ring 3. Thus, with the combined arrangement of the first arc-shaped sleeve 7 and the second arc-shaped sleeve 8, the triangular frame structure composed of the dividing vertical rod 4, the dividing diagonal rod 5, and the dividing horizontal rod 6 can rotate along the outer ring wall of the interlocking ring 3 and the inner ring wall of the support ring 2, thereby adjusting the spacing of multiple sets of triangular frame structures and achieving the separation of different feeding areas in the serving tray 1.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
