[0020] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a feeding device for pigs, which includes a trough 1, a support 2 fixedly connected to the top of the trough 1, and a feed cylinder 3 provided on the support 2. In actual use, pig feed is poured into the feed cylinder 3; and the trough 1 has a certain weight so that the feed cylinder 3 will not tip over after the pig feed is poured in.

[0021] A feeding trough 4 is provided on the side of the feed cylinder 3 near the trough 1. The feeding trough 4 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the feed cylinder 3. A sliding box 5 is hinged to the outer wall of the feed cylinder 3, which is distributed corresponding to the feeding trough 4. The sliding box 5 can swing up and down. The pig feed inside the feed cylinder 3 slides into the trough 1 through the feeding trough 4 and the sliding box 5 for the pigs to use.

[0022] An elastic band 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding box 5 near the feed cylinder 3. There are two elastic bands 6, which are distributed on both sides of the sliding box 5. The end of the elastic band 6 away from the sliding box 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed cylinder 3. The elastic band 6 is made of elastic rubber material to prevent the feed from sliding out from the side position between the sliding box 5 and the feed cylinder 3, and does not affect the swing of the sliding box 5.

[0023] To enable the material cylinder 3 to reciprocate on the support 2, thereby achieving uniform feeding and avoiding accumulation, the support 2 is equipped with a drive assembly that drives the material cylinder 3 to move. The drive assembly includes a threaded rod 15, a guide rod 16, and a motor 17. The threaded rod 15 is rotatably mounted on the support 2, and the guide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the support 2. The threaded rod 15 and the guide rod 16 are both distributed along the length of the support 2. The bottom end of the material cylinder 3 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the threaded rod 15, and the bottom end of the material cylinder 3 is provided with a through hole that mates with the guide rod 16.

[0024] In actual use, the motor 17 is connected to the power supply of the breeding farm, etc. When the motor 17 is started, the motor 17 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate, and with the cooperation of the guide rod 16, the feed cylinder 3 is moved. By switching the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 17, the feed cylinder 3 moves back and forth on the support 2 to feed the material evenly.

[0025] To prevent blockage at the feeding trough 4, a round hole 7 is provided at the bottom of the material cylinder 3. A rotating rod 8 is rotatably installed inside the round hole 7, and a stirring blade 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 8.

[0026] A transmission assembly is provided between the rotating rod 8 and the bracket 2. The transmission assembly includes a gear 13 and a rack 14. The rack 14 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2, and the gear 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 8. The gear 13 and the rack 14 are meshed together.

[0027] When the feed cylinder 3 moves back and forth on the support 2, it drives the rotating rod 8 and the gear 13 to move synchronously. Since the gear 13 and the rack 14 are meshed, the gear 13 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate. The rotating rod 8 drives the stirring blade 9 to stir the feed at the feed trough 4 to avoid blockage.

[0028] To prevent residue from appearing on the slide box 5, a pressing assembly is provided between the rotating rod 8 and the slide box 5. The pressing assembly includes a rotating bar 10, a sliding channel 11, and a fixed seat 12. The sliding channel 11 is opened on the side wall of the bracket 2. The fixed seat 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide box 5 and passes through the sliding channel 11. The height of the sliding channel 11 is greater than the thickness of the fixed seat 12, so as not to affect the swing of the fixed seat 12. The rotating bar 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 8, and the rotating bar 10 and the fixed seat 12 abut against each other.

[0029] Specifically, when the rotating rod 8 drives the stirring blade 9 to agitate the feed at the feeding trough 4, when the rotating bar 10 contacts the fixed seat 12, it will squeeze the fixed seat 12 to move away from the rotating rod 8. At this time, the sliding box 5 swings upward. When the rotating bar 10 and the fixed seat 12 are misaligned, the sliding box 5 swings downward and resets to fall on the support 2 under its own weight, thereby realizing the up and down swing of the sliding box 5 and preventing residue from appearing on the sliding box 5.

[0030] When the sliding box 5 swings up and down, the feeding angle of the end away from the material cylinder 3 changes, expanding the feeding range and making the feeding more uniform.

[0031] In actual use, the end of the fixed seat 12 closest to the rotating rod 8 and the end of the rotating bar 10 furthest from the rotating rod 8 are both provided with rounded corners, arc surfaces, etc., to ensure that the rotating bar 10 and the fixed seat 12 are stably matched. The rotating bar 10 can also be replaced by a cam, which can be adjusted according to the specific use.

[0032] In addition, rubber shock-absorbing pads are provided at the end of the fixed seat 12 near the rotating rod 8, the end of the rotating bar 10 away from the rotating rod 8, and the bottom of the sliding box 5 to prevent noise from contact.

[0033] This feeding device is particularly suitable for feed-first, then pig-feeding systems. It ensures that there is sufficient feed available when the pigs enter the feeding area, preventing stress behaviors such as fighting and anxiety caused by waiting for feed. It also allows for more precise control of feed dispensing, reducing waste. The device can be selected based on specific usage conditions.

[0034] This invention features a structure including a sliding box 5, a transmission component, and an extrusion component, which enables automatic and uniform feeding. The movement of the feed cylinder 3 is used as a power source to agitate the feed at the feeding trough 4, preventing blockages and avoiding residue on the sliding box 5. It also expands the feeding range and improves the efficiency of the feeding device for pig feed.
