Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a piglet feeding tube for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] Livestock breeding piglet feeding tubes are devices specifically designed for raising piglets. They are mainly used to provide the food and feed needed for the early growth of piglets, which helps to improve feeding efficiency and ensure that piglets receive sufficient nutrition and protection in a relatively concentrated environment.

[0003] Traditional feed troughs are mainly used to temporarily store feed for piglets. During the growth period of piglets, staff regularly use tools to transfer a fixed amount of feed from the feed trough to the piglets for feeding. However, in actual use, it was found that manual operation is cumbersome and inconvenient for staff, which reduces work efficiency. It is also difficult to control the amount of feed each time, which reduces the effectiveness and convenience of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that manual operation is cumbersome and inconvenient for personnel, reducing their work efficiency and making it difficult to control the supply quantity each time, thus reducing the effectiveness and convenience of the equipment.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a piglet feeding cylinder for livestock breeding, including a feed cylinder and a feeding trough. A hopper is installed on the surface of the feed cylinder. The feed cylinder is connected and fixed to the feeding trough through a connecting component. An auxiliary device is provided on the surface of the feed cylinder. The auxiliary device uses an arc plate to adjust and assist the feeding rhythm of the feed cylinder.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when feeding piglets using feed hoppers, first connect and fix the feed hopper and the trough through the connecting components, then place both in the feeding area, then fill the feed hopper with feed through the hopper, and then activate the auxiliary device at the feeding time of the piglets each day to ensure that the feed in the feed hopper is delivered into the trough in a quantitative and stable manner.

[0007] Preferably, the auxiliary device includes a mounting rod, which is rotatably disposed through the surface of the feed cylinder. Several evenly distributed connecting plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting rod, wherein the several connecting plates are divided into four groups on average. Arc-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the connecting plates through the four groups of connecting plates. A servo motor is installed on one side surface of the feed cylinder, wherein gears are installed at the output end of the servo motor and one end of the mounting rod, and the two gears mesh with each other.

[0008] The effects achieved by the above components are: when using feed hoppers to feed piglets, feed can be delivered more conveniently and quickly, and the amount of feed can be better guaranteed and adjusted, reducing the manual burden while improving the effectiveness and functionality of the feed hoppers.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary device further includes sealing rings installed on the arc surfaces at both ends of the mounting rod, wherein the sealing rings ensure the stable use of the feed cylinder.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the sealing ring made of sponge material ensures good sealing at the assembly position of the mounting rod and the feed cylinder, making it less likely for the feed inside the feed cylinder to leak, thus ensuring the normal use of the feed cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, four evenly distributed conical blocks are fixedly connected to the arc surface of one end of the mounting rod, wherein the conical blocks improve the performance of the device.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that, because the four conical blocks and the four arc-shaped plates are aligned in position, when the mounting rod rotates under the drive of the servo motor, the position of the arc-shaped plate can be easily determined by the angle position of the conical blocks outside the feed cylinder, thereby stabilizing the opening at the bottom of the feed cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary device further includes an auxiliary frame, wherein a plurality of evenly distributed partitions are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary frame, and two fixing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the auxiliary frame, wherein the fixing plates are connected and fixed to the feed cylinder by means of bolts.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the lower opening of the feed cylinder is exposed, the feed can slide along the inner wall of the auxiliary frame, and with the spacing of the partition, the feed is less likely to accumulate and can fall more evenly in the feed trough.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes two triangular plates, wherein the two triangular plates are connected to two combined rods on their adjacent sides, and two fixed shafts are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two triangular plates respectively, wherein the triangular plates are connected and fixed to the feed cylinder and the feed trough respectively by means of the fixed shafts.

[0016] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: when setting up and placing the feed cylinder and trough, they can ensure a stable connection between the two, thereby maintaining relative stability during feed transportation and preventing spillage. At the same time, the position adjustment of the equipment is more convenient and quick.

[0017] Preferably, the auxiliary device further includes a reinforcing sleeve installed on the arc surface of the composite rod, wherein the reinforcing sleeve improves the stability of the composite rod.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that, through the reinforcement sleeve made of rubber, the friction is further increased when the combined rod is placed on the ground, thereby making the entire feeding equipment more stable.

[0019] Preferably, reinforcing blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the surfaces of the two triangular plates, and screws are installed on the surfaces of the reinforcing blocks.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the combined rod of the connecting component is placed on the ground, the screw passes through the surface of the reinforcing block, and then the screw is threaded to the preset ground position. At this time, the position of the connecting component is more stable and firm, ensuring stability when the piglets eat.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] When using the feed hopper for feeding piglets, this utility model allows for more convenient and faster feeding and delivery. It also better ensures and adjusts the amount of feed, reduces manual labor, and improves the effectiveness and functionality of the feed hopper. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" or "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The above-displayed piglet feeding cylinder for livestock breeding includes a feed cylinder 1 and a trough 3. A hopper 2 is installed on the surface of the feed cylinder 1. The feed cylinder 1 is connected and fixed to the trough 3 through a connecting component 5. An auxiliary device 4 is provided on the surface of the feed cylinder 1. The auxiliary device 4 uses an arc plate 43 to adjust and assist the feeding rhythm of the feed cylinder 1.

[0032] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The auxiliary device 4 shown includes a mounting rod 41, which is rotatably mounted through the surface of the feed cylinder 1. Several evenly distributed connecting plates 42 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting rod 41, and these connecting plates 42 are divided into four groups. Arc-shaped plates 43 are fixedly connected to each of the four groups of connecting plates 42. A servo motor 44 is mounted on one side of the feed cylinder 1, and gears 45 are respectively mounted on the output end of the servo motor 44 and one end of the mounting rod 41, with the two gears 45 meshing with each other. When using the feed cylinder 1 to feed piglets, first, the feed cylinder 1 and the trough 3 are connected and fixed using the connecting assembly 5. Then, both are placed in the feeding area. Feed is then filled into the feed cylinder 1 through the hopper 2. At the daily feeding time for the piglets, the feed cylinder is activated. The servo motor 44 on one side is connected to the mounting rod 41 through the meshing of two gears 45. Therefore, the operation of the servo motor 44 will drive the mounting rod 41 to rotate, thereby causing the arc plate 43, which is connected to the mounting rod 41 by the connecting plate 42, to rotate. During the rotation, the arc plate 43 will disengage from the opening of the feed cylinder 1 below. At this time, the feed inside the feed cylinder 1 will fall into the feeding trough 3 through the opening. When the next arc plate 43 rotates to the position of covering the opening, the feed delivery will stop. When using the feed cylinder 1 to feed piglets, the feeding delivery can be more convenient and faster, and the amount of feed can be better guaranteed and adjusted. This reduces the manual burden and improves the use effect and functionality of the feed cylinder 1.

[0033] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The auxiliary device 4 shown also includes sealing rings 47 installed on the arc surfaces at both ends of the mounting rod 41. The sealing rings 47 ensure the stable use of the feed cylinder 1. The sealing rings 47, made of sponge material, ensure good sealing at the assembly position of the mounting rod 41 and the feed cylinder 1, making it less likely for the feed inside the feed cylinder 1 to leak, thus ensuring the normal use of the feed cylinder 1. Four evenly distributed conical blocks 46 are fixedly connected to the arc surface at one end of the mounting rod 41. The conical blocks 46 improve the use effect of the device. Because the four conical blocks 46 are aligned with the four arc plates 43, when the mounting rod 41 rotates under the drive of the servo motor 44, the position of the arc plate 43 can be easily judged by the angle position of the conical blocks 46 outside the feed cylinder 1, thereby stabilizing the opening at the bottom of the feed cylinder 1.

[0034] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The auxiliary device 4 shown also includes an auxiliary frame 48, wherein a number of evenly distributed partitions 49 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary frame 48, and two fixing plates 410 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the auxiliary frame 48. The fixing plates 410 are connected and fixed to the feed cylinder 1 by means of bolts 411. When the lower opening of the feed cylinder 1 is exposed, the feed can slide along the inner wall of the auxiliary frame 48. Under the interval action of the partitions 49, the feed is not easy to accumulate in a concentrated manner and can fall more evenly into the feed trough 3.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connecting assembly 5 shown includes two triangular plates 51, with two combined rods 52 connected to the sides of the two triangular plates 51 that are close to each other. Two fixed shafts 53 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two triangular plates 51 respectively. The triangular plates 51 are connected and fixed to the feed cylinder 1 and the trough 3 respectively by means of the fixed shafts 53. When the connection between the feed cylinder 1 and the trough 3 is improved, mounting shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of the surfaces of the feed cylinder 1 and the trough 3 respectively. Then, the mounting shafts on both sides are connected and fixed to the two triangular plates 51 respectively. When setting up the feeding equipment, the two combined rods 52 installed on the two triangular plates 51 are placed on the ground. At this time, when setting up the feed cylinder 1 and the trough 3, a stable connection between them can be ensured, so that the feed is relatively stable during delivery and is not easy to spill. At the same time, the position adjustment of the equipment is more convenient and quick.

[0036] Figure 1 and Figure 4The auxiliary device 4 shown also includes a reinforcing sleeve 54 installed on the arc surface of the combination rod 52. The reinforcing sleeve 54 improves the stability of the combination rod 52. The rubber reinforcing sleeve 54 further increases the friction when the combination rod 52 is placed on the ground, thus making the entire feeding equipment more stable. Reinforcing blocks 55 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the two triangular plates 51. Screws 56 are installed on the surface of the reinforcing blocks 55. When the combination rod 52 of the connecting component 5 is placed on the ground, the screws 56 pass through the surface of the reinforcing blocks 55 and are then threaded to the preset ground position. At this time, the position of the connecting component 5 is more stable and firm, making it stable when the piglets eat.

[0037] Working principle: When using feed hopper 1 to feed piglets, first connect and fix feed hopper 1 to feed trough 3 through connecting component 5, then place both in the feeding area. Next, fill feed hopper 1 with feed through hopper 2. Then, at the daily feeding time for piglets, start the servo motor 44 on one side of feed hopper 1. Because the output end of servo motor 44 is connected to mounting rod 41 through the meshing of two gears 45, the operation of servo motor 44 will drive mounting rod 41 to rotate, thereby causing the arc plate 43, which is connected to mounting rod 41 via connecting plate 42, to rotate. During rotation, arc plate 43 will disengage from the opening of feed hopper 1 below, at which point the feed inside feed hopper 1 will fall into feed trough 3 through the opening.

[0038] At this time, the feed can slide along the inner wall of the auxiliary frame 48, and with the interval effect of the partition 49, the feed is not easy to accumulate. When the next arc plate 43 rotates to the position of covering the opening, the feed stops being delivered. At this time, when feeding piglets with feed cylinder 1, the feeding can be delivered more conveniently and quickly. It can also better ensure and adjust the amount of feed, reduce the manual burden, and improve the use effect and functionality of feed cylinder 1.

[0039] When the connection between feed cylinder 1 and trough 3 is improved, mounting shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of feed cylinder 1 and trough 3 respectively. Then, the mounting shafts on both sides are connected and fixed to two triangular plates 51 respectively. When setting up the feeding equipment, the two combined rods 52 installed on the two triangular plates 51 are placed on the ground. At this time, when setting up feed cylinder 1 and trough 3, the stable connection between the two can be guaranteed, so that the feed is relatively stable during conveying and is not easy to spill. At the same time, the position adjustment of the equipment is more convenient and quick.

[0040] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
