Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of livestock breeding equipment, and in particular to a piglet feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Pigs can be divided into piglets (suckling piglets), growing pigs (pigs 1-2 months after weaning), and fattening pigs (pigs more than 3 months after weaning) from birth to slaughter. Suckling piglets are the fastest growing and developing pigs in their lives. Newborn piglets weigh 1-2 kg, which is generally 10-15 times their birth weight. In order for piglets to grow up healthily, a feeding machine is needed to feed them milk.

[0003] Regarding piglet feeding devices, a search revealed, for example, a piglet feeding device disclosed in patent publication number CN213603762U, which includes a tray, a supporting column, a lead screw, a lead screw nut, a feeding bowl, a first nipple, a medication tube, a second nipple, a micro-stirrer, a cover, and a key. The supporting column is fixed to the top of the tray by bolts. The lead screw is inserted into the interior of the supporting column and rotatably connected to it. The lead screw is threadedly connected to a lead screw nut. A fixing plate is fixed to the side of the lead screw nut. The fixing plate extends out of the supporting column and slidably connects to it. The feeding bowl is fixed to the top of the fixing plate for easy feeding of piglets.

[0004] Based on the above search and analysis of existing technologies, it has been found that in existing piglet feeding devices similar to those disclosed above, the teats are always exposed to the outside environment. When piglets move around, dirt easily adheres to the surface of the teats, leading to contamination and bacterial growth. Furthermore, after each feeding, small amounts of milk residue remain on the teats, which, when mixed with external dirt, further promote bacterial growth. These bacteria can then enter the piglets' bodies when they feed again, harming their health. Therefore, a piglet feeding device is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example: Reference Figure 1-3 The piglet feeding device shown includes a milk tank 1 and multiple feeding heads 2 that are horizontally and equidistantly distributed at the bottom side of the milk tank 1. It also includes a water pipe 4, which is horizontally fixed to the top of the side of the milk tank 1 where the feeding heads 2 are installed. Multiple rinsing heads 5 are horizontally and equidistantly distributed at the side of the water pipe 4, and the multiple rinsing heads 5 are vertically corresponding to the multiple feeding heads 2. A water tank 3 is installed at the top of the milk tank 1. One end of the water pipe 4 extends and is fixed to the inside of the water tank 3, and a high-pressure pump is connected to the end of the water pipe 4 located inside the water tank 3. Multiple sensing devices 6 are provided on the side of the milk tank 1 where the feeding heads 2 are installed, and the multiple sensing devices 6 are corresponding to the multiple feeding heads 2.

[0025] Specifically, the flushing head 5 includes a flushing nozzle 51 and a solenoid valve 52. The flushing nozzle 51 is connected to the water pipe 4. The solenoid valve 52 is installed on the upper side of the flushing nozzle 51. The sensing device 6 includes a pressure sensor 61 and a pedal 62. The pressure sensor 61 is fixed on the ground, and the pedal 62 is fixed on the upper end of the pressure sensor 61.

[0026] When the piglet approaches the teat 2, its paws step on the pedal 62. At this time, the pressure sensor 61 detects a change in pressure, and the external controller controls the solenoid valve 52 to open. The rinsing nozzle 51 sprays water towards the corresponding teat 2 to clean it, ensuring that the piglet can eat milk healthily.

[0027] Specifically, according to the existing technology, the pressure sensor 61 can be preset to control the solenoid valve 52 to open for a few seconds (e.g., three seconds, to ensure thorough rinsing without delaying the piglet's feeding) when it detects a pressure change (the pressure change is large and is mainly used to detect the two actions of the piglet stepping on the pedal 62 and leaving the pedal 62) to rinse the feeding nipple 2.

[0028] It should be further noted that the aforementioned sensing device 6 can also be a conventional non-contact sensing device, such as a conventional infrared sensor.

[0029] To prevent piglets from fighting while nursing and to prevent false alarms, this solution includes a partition 8 between two adjacent feeding nipples 2, which is fixed to the milk container 1.

[0030] The feeding head 2 includes a milk outlet tube 21 and a feeding nipple 23. The milk outlet tube 21 is fixedly connected to the milk container 1, and the feeding nipple 23 is threaded onto the end of the milk outlet tube 21 for easy replacement of the feeding nipple 23.

[0031] To prevent milk from overflowing from the milk outlet tube 21 when changing the nipple 23, the nipple 2 also includes a manual valve 22. The manual valve 22 is installed on the milk outlet tube 21. When changing the nipple 23, the manual valve 22 can be manually closed first, and then opened after changing the nipple 23.

[0032] The milk container 1 has a collection trough 7 at the bottom of the side where the feeding nipple 2 is installed. The collection trough 7 is located directly below the feeding nipple 2. A drain pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the collection trough 7. Water used to rinse the feeding nipple 2 and milk that accidentally overflows from the feeding nipple 2 fall into the collection trough 7 and are discharged from the feeding room through the drain pipe 10.

[0033] To prevent piglets from licking the liquid in the collection trough 7, the inner bottom of the collection trough 7 is inclined downwards towards the side of the milk tank 1. The drain pipe 10 is installed on the side of the collection trough 7 near the milk tank 1. A baffle 9 is fixed in the middle of the collection trough 7 along its length. The water-milk mixture falling into the collection trough 7 will immediately gather on the side of the baffle 9 near the milk tank 1, which can effectively prevent piglets from licking it.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When a piglet approaches the feeding nipple 2, its paws step on the pedal 62. At this time, the pressure sensor 61 detects a change in pressure, and the external controller controls the solenoid valve 52 to open. The rinsing nozzle 51 sprays water towards the corresponding feeding nipple 2 to clean it. The water used to rinse the feeding nipple 2 and any milk that accidentally spills from the feeding nipple 2 fall into the collection tank 7. The water-milk mixture in the collection tank 7 immediately gathers on the side of the baffle 9 near the milk tank 1 and is discharged from the feeding room through the drain pipe 10.

[0035] 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.
