[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for a feeding trough for pig farming: a feeding device shell 1, feed 2, lifting device 3, and mechanical gripper 4. The lifting device 3 is embedded in the feeding device shell 1 and installed inside the feeding device shell 1. The feed 2 enters from the upper end of the lifting device 3 and exits from the lower end. The mechanical gripper 4 is installed on the left side of the lifting device 3. The lifting device 3 includes an inclined plate feeding trough 31 and a rocker plate discharging trough 32. The rocker plate discharging trough 32 is installed on the right side of the inclined plate feeding trough 31. The inclined plate feeding trough 32 is fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the feeding device shell 1. The rocker plate discharging trough 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the feeding device shell 1. The bottom of the feeding device shell 1 is provided with a long baffle 11, a switch top plate 12, and a bag discharge port 13. The left side of the feeding device shell 1 is provided with a bag discharge port 13. The long baffle 11 is installed in front of the switch top plate 12. The length of the long baffle 11 is higher than that of the switch top plate 12, which controls the inclination of the rocker plate discharging trough and ensures the stability of the equipment.

[0023] Please see Figure 4 The bottom of the outer casing 1 of the feeding device is provided with a long baffle 11 and a switch top plate 12. The long baffle 11 is installed in front of the switch top plate 12. The length of the long baffle 11 is higher than that of the switch top plate 12, which controls the inclination of the rocker discharge trough 32 and ensures the stability of the equipment.

[0024] The inclined plate feed chute 31 is tilted and has a smooth internal chute to ensure smooth feed feeding.

[0025] The center of gravity of the rocker discharge chute 32 is tilted to the right to prevent the equipment from jamming.

[0026] Please see Figure 5The rocker discharge chute 32 includes a slide plate 321, a fixed slide shaft 322, a balance bar 323, and a cutting wheel 324. The lower end of the slide plate 321 is fixedly connected to the fixed slide shaft 322, the balance bar 323 is fixedly connected to the rear right side of the slide plate 321, and the cutting wheel 324 is installed on the upper end of the slide plate 321. The balance bar is fixedly connected to the rear right side of the slide plate to ensure the balance of the equipment.

[0027] A straight rod is installed on the left end of the balance bar 323 to hold the feed 2 in place and control the flow rate of feed 2.

[0028] The mechanical gripper 4 has a four-section structure, with top and bottom rotating structures connected by a pivot with a 180-degree movable space in the middle. The rotation range is 360 degrees. By limiting the specific rotation space, it can rotate and press down to grab the feed bag, grab the feed bag and remove it from the feed bag, and take the feed bag out with it.

[0029] The cutting wheel 324 is electrically connected to the switch top plate 12. When the switch top plate 12 is pressed, the cutting wheel 324 starts within a time limit to cut and break the feed bag.

[0030] Feed 2 is in the form of dry granules, which facilitates the movement of materials while preventing sticking and clogging caused by moisture.

[0031] When in use, feed 2 enters from the upper end of the outer shell 1 of the feeding device, and feed 2 enters the rocker discharge chute 32 along the inclined plate feed chute 31. At the same time, feed 2 at the rear is pushed back due to the tilt of the balance bar 323. Press the switch baffle 12 to activate the mechanical gripper 4 and the cutting wheel 324.

[0032] The cutting wheel 324 at the upper end of the rocker discharge chute 32 activates the cutting feed 2, separating the feed bag and the feed, while the mechanical gripper 4 is initially positioned to hold the feed bag in place.

[0033] As the top plate 12 of the switch holds the rocker plate discharge trough 32, the feed 2 slides to the right under the influence of gravity until it reaches the discharge port. At the same time, the rocker plate discharge trough 32 tilts to the left until it hits the long baffle 11. When the switch baffle 12 is released, the mechanical gripper 4 carries the feed bag out of the bag discharge port 13. At the same time, the rocker plate discharge trough 32 holds the feed 2 in the inclined plate feed trough 31.

[0034] The feed 2 in the rocker feed chute 32 is eaten clean by the pigs, and then the rocker feed chute 32 moves backward and repeats the motion.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
