Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture equipment, and in particular to a feeding trough for pig farming. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in many large-scale pig farms, the feeding troughs used in pigsties are still traditional troughs. Since there are many pigsties in a large pig farm, the feeders usually need to add feed to the troughs in each pigsty in turn. Therefore, feeding piglets in pigsties has always been a relatively heavy task in large-scale pig farms.
[0003] A search revealed a patent with publication number CN203353385U that discloses a pig feed trough. The patent states, "This utility model discloses a pig feed trough, including a trough body with a feed inlet at the top and an outwardly convex, inclined lower part with an open front. The interior is divided into multiple feeding troughs by multiple partitions. This utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art, with a simple design and reasonable structure. The outwardly convex and inclined lower part of the trough prevents feed from falling vertically into the trough, thus not affecting piglets' feeding and avoiding piglets arching against each other while eating, which is beneficial to piglet growth. Installation holes are provided on both sides for easy installation." While this design facilitates feeding, it cannot guarantee uniform feed distribution, prevents external debris from falling in and causing accidental ingestion, and makes timely feed replenishment impossible.
[0004] In light of this, in-depth research into the aforementioned issues led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pig feed trough that solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to guarantee the uniformity of feed, the inability to prevent external debris from falling in and causing accidental ingestion, and the inability to replenish feed in a timely manner.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A pig feed trough includes a feed trough and a feeding mechanism. The feed trough has fixed ears on both sides and a screw in the middle of the fixed ears. The feeding mechanism is located on one side of the feed trough. A storage box is located on the rear side of the feed trough. A box cover is located on top of the storage box. A rotating shaft is located on the lower inner side of the storage box. A movable piece is located in the middle of the rotating shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the feeding trough and the fixed ear are movably connected, and there are two sets of fixed ears.
[0009] Preferably, a storage box is provided at the rear of the feeding trough, handles are provided on both sides of the outside of the storage box, a box cover is provided on the top of the storage box, a fixing groove is provided on the upper inside of the storage box, a sieve plate is provided above the fixing groove, a sensor is provided in the middle of the inside of the storage box, a rotating shaft is provided on the lower inside of the storage box, and a movable plate is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft.
[0010] Preferably, the storage bin and the lid are movably connected, and the top surface of the storage bin matches the size of the lid.
[0011] Preferably, the fixing groove and the sieve plate are connected by a slot, and the inner diameter of the fixing groove matches the outer diameter of the sieve plate.
[0012] Preferably, the storage bin and the sensor are connected by screws, and there are two sets of sensors.
[0013] Preferably, the rotating shaft and the movable piece are movably connected, and the length of the rotating shaft is greater than the length of the movable piece.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model provides a feeding trough for pig farming. By setting up the feeding trough, fixing ears, screws, storage box, box cover, fixing groove and sieve plate, the feeding trough and storage box are fixed by fixing ears and screws. When the box cover is opened and feed is poured in, the feed will pass through the sieve plate stuck on the fixing groove, making the feed looser and more uniform, and can also play a certain filtering role.
[0016] 2. Through the setup of the feed trough, sensor, rotating shaft, and movable plate, the feed is driven by gravity to rotate the movable plate around the rotating shaft, thereby causing the feed to fall into the feed trough. When the feed in the feed trough reaches a certain height, the feed will automatically stop flowing. Finally, when the feed is lower than the sensor, an alert will be issued. This completes the usage process of a pig feed trough. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 A pig feed trough includes a feed trough 1 and a feeding mechanism 4. The feed trough 1 has fixed ears 2 on both sides and a screw 3 in the middle of the fixed ears 2. The feeding mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the feed trough 1. A storage box 401 is provided on the rear side of the feed trough 1. A box cover 403 is provided on the top of the storage box 401. A rotating shaft 407 is provided on the lower inner side of the storage box 401. A movable piece 408 is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 407.
[0024] Furthermore, the feeding trough 1 and the fixed ear 2 are connected movably, and there are two sets of fixed ears 2, which makes the connection tighter and improves the stability of the equipment.
[0025] Furthermore, a storage bin 401 is provided on the rear side of the feeding trough 1. Handles 402 are provided on both sides of the outside of the storage bin 401. A bin cover 403 is provided on the top of the storage bin 401. A fixing groove 404 is provided on the upper inside of the storage bin 401. A sieve plate 405 is provided on the upper inside of the fixing groove 404. A sensor 406 is provided in the middle of the inside of the storage bin 401. A rotating shaft 407 is provided on the lower inside of the storage bin 401. A movable piece 408 is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 407, making the equipment more convenient to use, saving manpower, and improving work efficiency.
[0026] Furthermore, the storage bin 401 and the lid 403 are connected movably, and the top surface of the storage bin 401 matches the size of the lid 403 to prevent external contamination and make the feed more hygienic.
[0027] Furthermore, the fixed groove 404 and the screen plate 405 are connected by a slot, and the inner diameter of the fixed groove 404 matches the outer diameter of the screen plate 405, making the feed looser and more uniform, and also playing a certain filtering role.
[0028] Furthermore, the storage bin 401 and the sensor 406 are connected by screws. There are two sets of sensors 406, which can serve as reminders.
[0029] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 407 and the movable plate 408 are movably connected, and the length of the rotating shaft 407 is greater than the length of the movable plate 408, which facilitates the feed to be pushed out of the movable plate 408.
[0030] Working principle: In this utility model, a pig feed trough is first placed together with the feed storage box 401 and the feed trough 1 by the handle 402, and then fixed together by the fixing ear 2 and screw 3. The box cover 403 in the feeding mechanism 4 is opened, and the feed is poured into the feed storage box 401. The feed will pass through the sieve plate 405 stuck on the fixing groove 404, making the feed looser and more uniform, and also playing a certain filtering role. Then, the feed is pushed by gravity to rotate the movable plate 408 around the rotating shaft 407, so that the feed falls into the feed trough 1. When the feed in the feed trough 1 reaches a certain height, the feed will automatically stop flowing. Finally, when the feed is lower than the sensor 406, an alarm will be issued. This completes the use process of a pig feed trough.
