Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of feed trough technology, specifically a pigpen feed trough device for pig farming. Background Technology
[0002] Pigs are vertebrates, mammals, and livestock. They are also ancient omnivorous mammals, mainly divided into domestic pigs and wild boars. Currently, people consider pigs to be an abbreviation for animals of the Suidae family. Pigs have different physical characteristics depending on the breed. Pigs need to be fed using troughs.
[0003] Referring to CN216492663U, a pig pen feed trough device for pig farming relates to the field of animal husbandry technology. It includes a feed trough with a support fixedly connected to its upper end. This invention utilizes the interaction between a motor and a rotating rod to stir the feed inside the mixing tank, improving the mixing degree and breaking up any lumps in the feed, facilitating feeding for pigs. The interaction between a baffle, a second slider, a second chute, and an electric push rod blocks the feed inlet during stirring, preventing feed from falling. After stirring, the feed inlet is opened, allowing the stirred feed to fall into the feed trough for pigs to eat. A guide plate guides the falling feed, preventing it from accumulating on the left side of the feed trough and thus preventing pigs from accessing it.
[0004] However, the following problems still exist: pigs eat quickly and lack control. When hungry, they will fight for food, using their noses and mouths together, which can easily cause feed to splash out or be pushed outside the edge of the trough. When the trough is designed to be too shallow or too much feed is added, it can easily cause feed to splash out, resulting in waste. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned problems of pigs eating quickly, lacking control, and scrambling for food when hungry, often using their noses and mouths to splash or push feed outside the edge of the trough. Furthermore, when the trough is too shallow or too much feed is added, feed spillage and waste are common. This application provides a pigpen feed trough device for pig farming.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0007] A pigpen feed trough device for pig farming includes a base plate, a feed shell fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, a horizontal plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feed shell, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the side of the horizontal plate, a material blocking component provided on the surface of the rotating rod, a sliding groove formed on the lower surface of the feed shell, an insert plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, a pushing component provided on the front of the insert plate, and a receiving trough and a feeding trough respectively formed on the upper surface of the base plate, with a horizontal plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving trough.
[0008] Preferably, the feed-blocking component includes a spring, with a bonding plate fixedly connected to the end of the spring away from the feed housing. The bonding plate is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod. A limiting rod passes through the front of the bonding plate, and the end of the limiting rod away from the bonding plate is fixedly connected to the front of the feed housing. The spring is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod. When the miniature pig eats, its neck presses against the bonding plate. At this time, the spring is compressed and contracts, pushing the bonding plate in the opposite direction, so that the bonding plate is always in close contact with the pig's neck. This prevents the distance between the miniature pig's neck and the feed trough from creating when it eats, which could easily cause the feed to spill out. The bonding plate is attached to the lower part of the pig's neck to prevent the feed from spilling out.
[0009] Preferably, the pushing component includes a rack, the back of which is fixedly connected to the front of the insert plate. A pushing rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed shell. A pushing gear is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the pushing rod. The back of the pushing gear meshes with the front of the rack. Rotating the pushing rod causes the pushing gear to rotate, which in turn pushes the insert plate through the rack. The movement of the insert plate controls the gap between the feed shell and the feed trough. When large-sized pigs are feeding, the gap between the feed trough and the feed shell is widened; when small-sized pigs are feeding, the gap is narrowed to prevent excessive feed from spilling out when the pigs eat.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the push rod is fixedly connected to a rotating disk, and a limiting screw is threadedly connected to the surface of the push rod. By setting the rotating disk, it is easy for the user to drive the push rod to rotate. When the push rod rotates to the position that needs to be rotated, the limiting screw rotates and moves to press against the side of the feed shell, thus limiting the push rod.
[0011] Preferably, the upper surface of the base plate is rotatably connected with two baffles, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate with the vertical center line of the front of the base plate as the axis of symmetry. By setting the baffles, the feed can be blocked on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate, preventing the feed from splashing from the side when the pigs are eating.
[0012] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle, and a limiting block is fixedly connected to the side of the feed shell. A pin is inserted through the side of the limiting block. The inner wall of the cylinder is adapted to the surface of the pin. By setting the pin, the pin can be pushed into the cylinder to limit the baffle, or the pin can be pulled out of the cylinder to cancel the limitation on the baffle. Then the baffle can be rotated to allow the pigs that have finished eating to leave from the side of the bottom plate.
[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the receiving trough is provided with a receiving box, and a pull rod is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving box. By providing the receiving box, a small amount of feed that jumps out can be collected. After collection, the receiving box can be pulled out of the receiving trough by the pull rod.
[0014] Preferably, a wedge is fixedly connected to the front of the base plate, and a rubber pad is adhered to the upper surface of the wedge (20). By setting the wedge, it is easy for the pig to move onto the horizontal plate.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0016] 1. In this application, pig feed is poured into the feed hopper from the top of the feed hopper. The feed flows along the curved surface of the inner wall of the feed hopper into the feeding trough. When small pigs eat the feed, their necks are pressed against the fitting plate. At this time, the spring is compressed and contracts, pushing the fitting plate in the opposite direction, so that the fitting plate is always in close contact with the pig's neck. At the same time, the push rod is rotated, which drives the push gear to rotate. The rotation of the push gear pushes the insert plate through the rack. The movement of the insert plate is used to control the gap between the feed hopper and the feeding trough. When large pigs eat, the gap between the feeding trough and the feed hopper is widened, and when small pigs eat, the gap between the feeding trough and the feed hopper is narrowed, so as to avoid putting too much feed in and causing feed to splash when pigs eat. This solves the problem of feed wastage caused by feed splashing when pigs eat to a certain extent. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] Reference Figure 2-6 A pig pen feed trough device for pig farming includes a base plate 1. A feed inlet shell 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. A horizontal plate 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feed inlet shell 3. A rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the side of the horizontal plate 7. A feed blocking component 13 is provided on the surface of the rotating rod 4. A chute 16 is formed on the lower surface of the feed inlet shell 3. An insert plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute 16. A pushing component 15 is provided on the front of the insert plate 17. A receiving trough 5 and a feed trough 19 are respectively formed on the upper surface of the base plate 1. A horizontal plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving trough 5. Pig feed is poured into the feed inlet shell 3 from the top. Inside, the feed flows into the feed trough 19 along the curved surface of the inner wall of the feed inlet shell 3. When small pigs eat, their necks are pressed against the feed blocking component 13, ensuring that the feed blocking component 13 is always in close contact with the pig's neck. At the same time, the pushing component 15 is rotated, which pushes the insert plate 17. The insert plate 17 moves to control the gap between the feed inlet shell 3 and the feed trough 19. When large pigs are eating, the gap between the feed trough 19 and the feed inlet shell 3 is widened, and when small pigs are eating, the gap between the feed trough 19 and the feed inlet shell 3 is narrowed to prevent excessive feed from being placed and causing feed to splash out when the pigs eat.
[0026] Reference Figure 2-4The feed-stopping component 13 includes a spring 133. A fitting plate 131 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 133 away from the feed housing 3. The fitting plate 131 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 4. A limiting rod 132 passes through the front of the fitting plate 131. The end of the limiting rod 132 away from the fitting plate 131 is fixedly connected to the front of the feed housing 3, and the spring 133 is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod 132. When the miniature pig eats feed, its neck presses against the fitting plate 131, at which time the spring 133... When compressed and contracted, the adhesive plate 131 is pushed in the opposite direction, ensuring that the adhesive plate 131 remains tightly attached to the pig's neck. This prevents the feed from spilling out of the pig's neck when it is eating, as the distance between the neck and the feed trough 19 can be created. The adhesive plate 131 is positioned below the pig's neck to prevent feed from spilling out. The pushing component 15 includes a rack 153, the back of which is fixedly connected to the front of the insert plate 17. A pushing rod 151 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed housing 3, and the surface of the pushing rod 151 is fixedly sleeved. A push gear 152 is provided, with its back side meshing with the front side of a rack 153. Rotating the push rod 151 causes the push gear 152 to rotate, which in turn pushes the insert plate 17 via the rack 153. The insert plate 17 moves to control the gap between the feed trough 3 and the feed container 19. When large pigs are feeding, the gap between the feed container 19 and the feed trough 3 is widened; when small pigs are feeding, the gap is narrowed. The gap between the shells 3 is reduced to prevent excessive feed from being placed in the feed, which could cause feed to splash out when the pigs eat. One end of the push rod 151 is fixedly connected to a rotating disk 14. The surface of the push rod 151 is threadedly connected to a limiting screw cylinder 18. By setting the rotating disk 14, it is easy for the user to drive the push rod 151 to rotate. When the push rod 151 is rotated to the position that needs to be rotated, the limiting screw cylinder 18 is rotated. The limiting screw cylinder 18 rotates and moves to press against the side of the feed shell 3, thus limiting the push rod 151.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 Two baffles 2 are rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The two baffles 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1 with the vertical center line of the front of the base plate 1 as the axis of symmetry. By setting the baffles 2, the feed can be blocked on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1 to prevent the feed from splashing from the side when the pigs are eating.
[0028] Reference Figure 2-3 A cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 2, and a limiting block 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the feed shell 3. A pin 9 is inserted through the side of the limiting block 8. The inner wall of the cylinder 10 is adapted to the surface of the pin 9. By setting the pin 9, the pin 9 can be pushed into the cylinder 10 to limit the baffle 2, or the pin 9 can be pulled out from the cylinder 10 to cancel the limitation on the baffle 2. Then the baffle 2 is rotated so that the pigs that have finished eating leave from the side of the bottom plate 1.
[0029] Reference Figure 1-2 The inner wall of the receiving trough 5 is provided with a receiving box 11, and a pull rod 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving box 11. By setting up the receiving box 11, a small amount of feed that jumps out can be collected. After collection, the receiving box 11 can be pulled out of the receiving trough 5 by the pull rod 12.
[0030] Reference Figure 2-3 An inclined block 20 is fixedly connected to the front of the base plate 1. A rubber pad is adhered to the upper surface of the inclined block 20. By setting the inclined block 7, it is easy for the pig to move onto the horizontal plate 6.
[0031] The implementation principle of the pig pen feed trough device of this application is as follows: Pig feed is poured into the feed trough 3 from the top of the feed trough 3. The feed flows into the feed trough 19 along the arc surface of the inner wall of the feed trough 3. When the pigs are eating, their necks are pressed against the fitting plate 131. At this time, the spring 133 is compressed and contracted, pushing the fitting plate 131 in the opposite direction, so that the fitting plate 131 is always in close contact with the pig's neck. At the same time, the push rod 151 is rotated, and the rotation of the push rod 151 drives the push teeth. The rotation of wheel 152 drives gear 152 to rotate, which in turn drives the insert plate 17 through rack 153. The movement of insert plate 17 controls the gap between feed hopper 3 and feed trough 19. When large pigs are eating, the gap between feed trough 19 and feed hopper 3 is widened, and when small pigs are eating, the gap between feed trough 19 and feed hopper 3 is narrowed to prevent excessive feed from being placed and causing feed to splash out when pigs eat. This solves the problem of feed wastage caused by feed splashing when pigs eat to a certain extent.
