Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of piglet nursery boxes, specifically relating to a piglet nursery box for pig farms. Background Technology
[0002] Piglets (especially those in the early stages of weaning) have immature digestive systems and frequent excretions (up to 10 times a day). They also have difficulty controlling where they defecate, and their feces and urine can easily get directly on the bedding.
[0003] Traditional piglet nurseries (especially simple or low-cost ones) often have a single base (such as a plastic, wooden, or ordinary metal plate) at the bottom. If excrement gets stuck on the base and is not cleaned in time, it will breed many bacteria. At the same time, piglets' immune systems are not yet fully developed and they are weak against pathogens, making them susceptible to diseases (such as diarrhea and pneumonia) due to unclean environments. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the base frequently by hand to prevent piglets from getting sick.
[0004] Before cleaning the nursery box, staff need to transfer the piglets so that they can remove and clean the inner bedding. After cleaning, the bedding needs to be put back into the nursery box, and then the transferred piglets need to be put back in. This cleaning process is not only labor-intensive but also tedious for staff, greatly affecting the efficiency of cleaning the bedding. To address this issue, we have proposed a piglet nursery box for pig farms to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a piglet nursery box for pig farms, in order to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A piglet nursery box for pig farms includes a box body, a box door on one side of the box body, a pad on the lower inner wall of the box body, and a sliding assembly between the box body and the pad.
[0008] The sliding component includes:
[0009] Several rollers are provided, and a groove is provided on the lower inner wall of the housing. Each roller is embedded and rotates inside the groove and is tangent to the lower end face of the pad.
[0010] The side of the box is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, and the two ends of the pad extend to the outside of the box through the sliding grooves respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the pad has slots at both ends extending outward from the box body, the two slots have opposite openings and are matched in shape and size.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the two card slots has a slot provided inside its opening, and the slot has an insert plate inside.
[0013] Furthermore, the upper and lower end faces of the pad are provided with placement grooves, a mesh plate is snapped into the placement groove, and a gap is left between the mesh plate and the lower wall of the placement groove.
[0014] Further, the outer side of the box is provided with a through groove, the inside of the through groove is provided with a feeding trough, and the end of the feeding trough extending out of the box is provided with a baffle and a pull rod in sequence.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer side of the box is provided with a limiting block, and the baffle is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting block.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. By setting a sliding assembly consisting of rollers, grooves and channels between the box and the pad, the rollers convert sliding friction into rolling friction, and the channels guide the pad to slide smoothly out of the box; the entire process can be completed without transferring the piglets, and the pad inside the box can be removed and cleaned.
[0018] 2. By creating matching slots with opposite openings at both ends of the pad, the new and old pads can be quickly connected without the need for additional tools for positioning, simplifying the pad replacement process and improving replacement efficiency.
[0019] 3. By setting placement grooves on the upper and lower surfaces of the pad and snapping in a grid plate, with a gap between the grid plate and the lower wall of the placement groove, excrement falls through the grid plate into the gap for collection, avoiding direct contact between piglets and the excrement.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a piglet nursery box for pig farms includes a box body 100, a box door 101 on one side of the box body 100, a pad 102 on the lower inner wall of the box body 100, and a sliding component between the box body 100 and the pad 102.
[0036] The sliding component includes:
[0037] A plurality of rollers 103 are provided. A groove 104 is provided on the lower inner wall of the housing 100. Each roller 103 is embedded and rotates inside the groove 104 and is tangent to the lower end face of the pad 102.
[0038] The side of the box 100 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 105, and the two ends of the pad 102 extend to the outside of the box 100 through the sliding grooves 105 respectively.
[0039] The box body 100, as the main structure for piglet nursery, provides a relatively closed and safe growth environment for piglets, playing a role in protection and heat preservation, and serving as the foundation for the installation of other components;
[0040] Among them, the outer side of the housing 100 is symmetrically provided with extension plates. The extension plates are located below the opening of the slide groove 105. Their function is to keep the two end faces flat when the two pads 102 are connected, so that the pads 102 will not bulge, thus affecting the replacement of the pads 102.
[0041] The box 100 is also equipped with an observation port for observing the condition of the piglets inside. The observation port is covered with a cover to cover the observation port when keeping the piglets warm, so that the piglets are in a comfortable environment.
[0042] The door 101 is located on one side of the box 100 and is used to open or close the passage to the inside of the box 100, so as to facilitate the piglets to enter and exit, and at the same time control the sealing of the box 100 to maintain the stability of the environment inside the box.
[0043] The mat 102 provides a direct standing and activity surface for piglets, preventing them from directly contacting the bottom of the box 100 and reducing the risk of them getting cold.
[0044] The sliding component's core function is to enable the pad 102 to slide smoothly inside the housing 100, facilitating the removal and replacement of the pad 102 and subsequent cleaning of the pad 102.
[0045] The roller 103 is embedded and rotates inside the groove 104 and is tangent to the lower end face of the pad 102. When the pad 102 slides, the roller 103 will rotate accordingly, converting the sliding friction between the pad 102 and the bottom of the housing 100 into rolling friction, greatly reducing the friction force and making the sliding of the pad 102 easier and smoother.
[0046] The groove 104 lowers the installation position of the roller 103, so that the installed roller 103 can be tangent to the lower end face of the pad 102, thereby ensuring that the pad 102 can slide out of the housing 100 more easily.
[0047] The slide groove 105 guides and restricts the sliding direction of the pad 102, ensuring that the pad 102 can only slide smoothly along the direction of the slide groove 105, while allowing the pad 102 to slide out from inside the housing 100.
[0048] The side of the box 100 containing the slide 105 is perpendicular to the side of the box 100 containing the door 101, which makes it easier for staff to clean or replace the pad.
[0049] For example, when the box door is opened to provide daily care for the piglets, it will not affect the removal or insertion of the pad 102 from the chute 105; conversely, when operating the pad, it will not interfere with the normal opening and closing of the box door 101, so that the various operations do not interfere with each other and improve work efficiency.
[0050] The pad 102 has slots 200 at both ends extending out of the box 100. The two slots 200 have opposite openings and are matched in shape and size.
[0051] The core function of the 200 slot design is to enable quick docking and assembly between multiple pads;
[0052] When it is necessary to replace the pad 102 inside the housing 100, the slot at one end of the new pad 102 can be aligned with the slot 200 at the end of the dirty pad 102 that protrudes from the housing 100 and engages. Because the slots are opposite and compatible, they can fit stably. By pushing the new pad 102, the dirty pad 102 can be slid out from the other side of the housing 100, completing the quick replacement without the need for additional tools to assist in positioning.
[0053] Both card slots 200 have slots 201 inside their openings, and slots 201 have insert plates 202 inside.
[0054] The slot 201 provides space for the installation and accommodation of the insert 202. Its size is adapted to the insert 202 to ensure that the insert 202 can be stably embedded therein, and plays the role of positioning and supporting the insert 202.
[0055] At the same time, slot 201 also allows staff to easily pull pad 102, so that pad 102 slides out of the box 100.
[0056] The plug-in board 202 can switch states by inserting or removing it from the slot;
[0057] When the pad 102 is located inside the housing 100, the position of the pad 102 can be effectively restricted by inserting the insert plate 202 into the corresponding slot 201.
[0058] Because the box 100 is equipped with a roller 103, the rotational characteristics of the roller 103 make the pad more prone to sliding. The cooperation between the insert plate 202 and the slot 201 can counteract this sliding tendency caused by the roller 103, thereby preventing the pad 102 from accidentally sliding out of the box 100 when not in operation. This ensures that the pad 102 is stably placed inside the box, providing a stable activity surface for piglets and preventing the piglets from being frightened or injured due to the pad 102 accidentally sliding out, thus ensuring the safety of the nursery box.
[0059] The upper and lower end faces of the pad 102 are provided with placement grooves 203. A grid plate 204 is snapped into the placement groove 203, and a gap is left between the grid plate 204 and the lower wall of the placement groove 203.
[0060] The placement groove 203 provides a space for the mesh plate 204 to be snapped in. Its size is adapted to the mesh plate 204, and it can position and fix the mesh plate 204 to ensure that the mesh plate 204 is stably installed on the pad.
[0061] Meanwhile, the placement trough 203 can also collect the piglets' feces, urine and other excrement for subsequent cleaning by staff.
[0062] The mesh plate 204 has a mesh structure on its surface that allows the piglets' feces, urine and other excrement to pass through, preventing excrement from accumulating on the surface of the mesh plate 204;
[0063] Meanwhile, the mesh board 204, as the surface that piglets come into direct contact with, can provide support for piglets to stand and move.
[0064] Among them, the end of the grid plate 204 facing the placement groove 203 is provided with a support member, which can leave a gap between the grid plate 204 and the pad 102 for temporarily storing the excrement falling through the grid plate 204, avoiding direct contact between the excrement and the piglets, keeping the surface of the grid plate 204 relatively clean, and reducing the chance of contact between the piglets and the excrement.
[0065] The support components prevent the mesh plate 204 from deforming during use, allowing the piglets to stand upright.
[0066] The outer side of the box 100 is provided with a through groove 300, and the inside of the through groove 300 is provided with a feeding trough 301. One end of the feeding trough 301 extending out of the box 100 is provided with a baffle 302 and a pull rod 303 in sequence.
[0067] The channel 300 provides a passage for the installation and movement of the feeding trough 301. Its size is adapted to the feeding trough 301 to ensure that the feeding trough 301 can move smoothly in and out of the interior.
[0068] The feeding trough 301 enters and exits the box 100 through the trough 300 and is used to hold feed or water for piglets.
[0069] When feeding is needed, push it into the box 100 to make it easier for the piglets to eat; when feeding is not needed, pull it out of the box 100 for cleaning or to replenish food, and then push it back into the box 100.
[0070] The baffle 302 is larger than the opening of the through groove 300. When the feeding trough 301 is pushed into the box 100, it fits against the outside of the box 100, sealing the opening of the through groove and preventing heat loss or external debris from entering the box.
[0071] At the same time, it also limits the depth of the feeding trough 301 into the box 100, ensuring that there is enough space inside the box 100 so that the piglets can eat and have enough space to move around.
[0072] The lever 303 is connected to the side of the baffle 302 away from the feeding trough 301, providing a gripping point for the staff. This allows the feeding trough 301 to be moved in and out of the passage 300 by pulling or pushing the lever 303, making the operation more labor-saving and convenient.
[0073] A limiting block 304 is provided on the outside of the housing 100, and a limiting groove 305 matching the limiting block 304 is provided on the baffle 302.
[0074] The limiting block 304, whose shape and size match the limiting groove 305, serves as a positioning reference and is used to cooperate with the limiting groove 305 on the baffle 302 to achieve precise positioning and fixation.
[0075] The limiting groove 305 is adapted to the limiting block 304 on the outside of the box 100. When the limiting block 304 is embedded in the limiting groove 305, it can restrict the position of the baffle 302, thereby fixing the position of the feeding trough 301 in the through groove 300 and preventing the piglets from pushing the feeding trough 301 out of the through groove 300 when eating.
[0076] When the pad needs to be cleaned:
[0077] S1. Release the fixing of pad 102:
[0078] Pull the two insert plates 202 out of the slots 201 so that the pad plate 102 can slide inside the housing 100.
[0079] S2. Prepare a new backing plate:
[0080] Take a clean spare pad 102 and align and fit the slots 200 at both ends of it with the slots 200 at the exposed end of the dirty pad 102 inside the box 100, so as to achieve a stable connection between the two pads and prepare for subsequent replacement.
[0081] S3. Push pad 102 to complete the replacement:
[0082] Pushing the new external pad 102, the roller 103 in the groove 104 inside the box 100 converts sliding friction into rolling friction, causing the dirty pad 102 to slide smoothly out of the box 100 along the slide groove 105, while the new pad 102 slides into the box 100 along with it.
[0083] When changing the pad 102, the piglets must be awake. This way, when the dirty pad 102 is moved, the piglets can move onto the new pad 102 due to the obstruction of the inner wall of the box 100.
[0084] The slide 105 serves as a guide to ensure the stability of the movement direction of the pad 102.
[0085] S4. Secure the new pad 102:
[0086] Once the new pad 102 is fully inserted into the housing 100, the insert plate 202 is inserted into the corresponding slot 201. This restricts the movement of the new pad 102, thus preventing it from accidentally sliding out of the housing 100 due to the action of the roller 103.
[0087] S5. Clean the dirty mat 102:
[0088] Remove the mesh plate 204 from the dirty pad 102. Excrement has accumulated in the gap between the mesh plate 204 and the lower wall of the placement groove 203. Clean the mesh plate 204 and the placement groove 203, and reassemble them for future replacement.
[0089] In this embodiment, by aligning and engaging the clean pad with the dirty pad inside the box, and pushing the new external pad, the sliding friction is converted into rolling friction by the roller in the groove inside the box, so that the dirty pad slides out smoothly along the guide groove, and the new pad slides into the box at the same time. Thus, the piglets do not need to be transferred, and the pad inside the box can be replaced.
[0090] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
