Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of livestock breeding technology, and in particular to supplementary feeding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Farrowing house piglets refer to piglets raised in the farrowing house from birth to weaning. They grow and develop extremely rapidly, but have a small starting weight, underdeveloped digestive system making it difficult to digest plant protein, weak immune function, and rely mainly on breast milk for antibodies. They also have poor thermoregulation and are easily affected by external temperatures. During rearing, it is necessary to ensure proper farrowing and umbilical cord cutting, ensure adequate breast milk intake, regulate temperature, provide timely water and feed, and strengthen disease prevention and control.

[0003] As the number of farrowings by sows increases year by year, the rate of milk production in sows is not keeping pace, resulting in more piglets lacking sufficient nutrition, leading to slow growth and increased piglet mortality. In traditional rural small-scale farming households, each person only needs to care for a few farrowing sows, and can manually prepare supplementary feed such as artificial milk, rice cereal, and liquid feed for some weak piglets to improve their survival rate before weaning. However, in large-scale farms, each person needs to care for hundreds of piglets born to dozens of sows. The workload of manually preparing and feeding supplementary feed to all weak piglets is very large and difficult to implement. Corresponding feeding equipment is immature, expensive, and has limited applicability. There is currently no universal liquid supplementary feeding equipment for piglets to match different supplementary feeding programs and the large number of pig farms with different production models.

[0093] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the piping connection of a supplementary feeding device provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit connection of the supplementary feeding device provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0094] Firstly, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a supplementary feeding device, including: a main unit, the main unit comprising:

[0095] Supplementary feed storage assembly 101 for storing supplementary feed materials and controlling whether to output the supplementary feed materials;

[0096] A mixing tank 18 is connected to the supplementary feed material bin assembly 101 via a pipeline. The supplementary feed material output from the supplementary feed material bin assembly 101 enters the mixing tank 18 through the connected pipeline. The mixing tank 18 is equipped with a low water level probe 181, a medium water level probe 182, and a high water level probe 183 for detecting the water level inside the mixing tank 18.

[0097] A stirrer 2 for stirring the inside of the mixing tank 18;

[0098] A water supply pipeline 103 is provided, one end of which is connected to the mixing tank 18 via a pipe, and the other end of which is connected to an external water source via a pipe. The external water source is input into the mixing tank 18 through the water supply pipeline and the connected pipe.

[0099] The circulating pump 6 and the first relay 27 are provided. One end of the circulating pump 6 is connected to the mixing tank 18 through a pipe, and the other end of the circulating pump 6 is connected to one end of at least one feed delivery pipeline 104 through a pipe. The circulating pump 6 is electrically connected to the first relay 27 and the high-voltage power supply 24. The first relay 27 is also electrically connected to the high-voltage power supply 24.

[0100] The control panel 105 is electrically connected to the stirrer 2, the low water level probe 181, the medium water level probe 182, the high water level probe 183, and the first relay 27.

[0101] In some exemplary embodiments, the supplementary feed can be any kind of supplementary feed required by piglets, as long as the feed can pass through a 16-mesh filter after being dissolved, such as piglet milk powder, piglet pellet feed, piglet powder feed, paste, etc.

[0102] In some exemplary embodiments, the conduit may be made of a material that is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. For example, a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) conduit may be used.

[0103] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the supplementary feed storage assembly 101 includes: a supplementary feed storage 1 for storing the supplementary feed; a first stepper motor driver 1013 for driving a first stepper motor 1012, the first stepper motor driver 1013 being electrically connected to the control panel 105; and a first stepper motor 1012 for controlling whether the supplementary feed storage 1 outputs the supplementary feed under the drive of the first stepper motor driver 1013, the first stepper motor 1012 being electrically connected to the first stepper motor driver 1013.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, the feed storage bin 1, the first stepper motor driver 1013, and the first stepper motor 1012 can all be located inside the main unit of the feed supply device.

[0105] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the feeding inlet of the supplementary feed material bin 1 can be set on the top surface of the supplementary feed equipment, and the user can put supplementary feed material into the supplementary feed material bin 1 through the feeding inlet.

[0106] In some exemplary embodiments, the first stepper motor 1012 may be fixedly installed at the bottom of the side of the feed bin 1.

[0107] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is used to control the operation of the first stepper motor driver 1013.

[0108] In some exemplary embodiments, the feed material bin assembly 101 further includes a first feeding screw (not shown in the figure). The first stepper motor 1012 controls the rotation of the first feeding screw to send the feed material out of the feed material bin 1. Since the amount of feed material output by the first feeding screw in one rotation is fixed, the amount of feed material output from the feed material bin 1 can be controlled by controlling the number of rotations of the first feeding screw.

[0109] In some exemplary embodiments, the user can input the number of rotations required for the first feeding screw in the control panel 105. The control panel 105 sends the number of rotations required for the first feeding screw to the first stepper motor driver 1013. The first stepper motor driver 1013 drives the first stepper motor 1012 to control the first feeding screw to rotate the corresponding number of rotations, thereby controlling the amount of supplementary feed material output from the supplementary feed material bin 1 through the control panel 105.

[0110] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the supplementary feed storage assembly 101 further includes a first material probe 19 for detecting whether there is still supplementary feed in the supplementary feed storage 1, and the first material probe 19 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0111] In some exemplary embodiments, the first material probe 19 may be disposed inside the main unit of the supplementary feeding device. Specifically, the first material probe 19 ( Figures 8 to 10 (Not shown) can be set at the bottom of the supplementary feed bin 1. The first feed probe 19 is used to measure whether the height of the supplementary feed in the supplementary feed bin 1 has reached the corresponding position of the first feed probe 19. If the height of the supplementary feed in the supplementary feed bin 1 has reached the corresponding position of the first feed probe 19, it means that there is no supplementary feed in the supplementary feed bin 1. If the height of the supplementary feed in the supplementary feed bin 1 has not reached the corresponding position of the first feed probe 19, it means that there is still supplementary feed in the supplementary feed bin 1.

[0112] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also configured to receive information sent by the first material probe 19, which characterizes whether the height of the supplementary feed material in the supplementary feed material bin 1 measured by the first material probe 19 has reached the corresponding position of the first material probe 19.

[0113] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, the supplementary feed bin assembly 101 further includes: an oscillator 16 fixed on the side of the supplementary feed bin 1, the oscillator 16 being electrically connected to the high-voltage power supply 24; and a second relay 1011, both of which are electrically connected to the oscillator 16, the control panel 105, and the high-voltage power supply 24.

[0114] In some exemplary embodiments, the oscillator 16 may be disposed inside the main unit of the feeding device; specifically, the oscillator 16 may be fixed on the side of the feeding material bin 1.

[0115] In some exemplary embodiments, the high-voltage power supply 24 may be 220V.

[0116] In some exemplary embodiments, when fixing the oscillator 16 to the side of the feed storage bin 1, a buffer rubber pad can be fixedly installed on the side of the feed storage bin 1 first, and then the oscillator 16 can be fixed on the buffer rubber pad.

[0117] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to open or close the second relay 1011. When the second relay 1011 is open, the high-voltage power supply 24 supplies power to the oscillator 16, controlling the oscillator 16 to be in a working state. When the second relay 1011 is closed, the high-voltage power supply 24 disconnects from the oscillator 16, and the oscillator 16 is in a non-working state.

[0118] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 may periodically close the second relay 1011, thereby periodically keeping the oscillator 16 in a working state. For example, the control panel 105 may control the first stepper motor 1012 to run for a first preset time, and then control the second relay 1011 to close for a second preset time, thereby keeping the oscillator 16 in a working state for the second preset time, so as to avoid the supplementary feed material in the supplementary feed material bin 1 from bridging within the supplementary feed material bin 1, which would prevent the supplementary feed material from being output from the supplementary feed material bin 1.

[0119] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the mixing tank 18 can be located on one side of the main unit of the supplementary feeding equipment.

[0120] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the stirrer 2 may include a second stepper motor driver 202 for driving the second stepper motor 201, and the second stepper motor 201 controls the rotation of the stirring rod (not shown in the figure) under the drive of the second stepper motor driver 202. The second stepper motor driver 202 is electrically connected to the second stepper motor 201 and the control panel 105.

[0121] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the operation of the second stepper motor driver 202.

[0122] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second stepper motor 201 can be installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 18, the mixing rod can be installed inside the mixing tank 18, and the second stepper motor driver 202 can be installed inside the main unit of the supplementary feeding device.

[0123] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the operation of the low water level probe 181, the medium water level probe 182, and the high water level probe 183.

[0124] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the low water level probe 181, the medium water level probe 182 and the high water level probe 183 can be set on the side wall of the mixing tank 18, with the probes installed inside the mixing tank 18, thereby realizing the measurement of the water level inside the mixing tank 18.

[0125] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the circulation pump 6 can be installed inside the main unit of the supplementary feeding equipment.

[0126] In some exemplary embodiments, a 20-mesh filter screen can be installed at the interface between the mixing tank 18 and the circulation pump 6 to prevent excessively large solid objects from entering the circulation pump 6. The circulation pump 6 can also be a pump that can pass through particles of a small amount of rice grain size (mesh size below 20 mesh), so that the supplementary feed liquid flows unobstructed in the pipeline without damaging the circulation pump 6.

[0127] In some exemplary embodiments, the circulation valve 12, recovery valve 13, drain valve 14, hot water valve 4, cold water valve 17, and delivery valve 8 mentioned in the embodiments of this application can all be electric ball valves that can pass through a small amount of solid matter, so that the supplementary feed liquid can flow unobstructed in the pipeline without damaging the circulation pump 6.

[0128] In some exemplary embodiments, the host or the supplemental feeding device further includes:

[0129] A water supply pipeline 103 is provided, one end of which is connected to the mixing tank 18 via a pipe, and the other end of which is connected to an external water source via a pipe. The external water source is input into the mixing tank 18 through the water supply pipeline 103 and the connected pipe.

[0130] The supplementary feeding equipment also includes: at least one supplementary feeding conveying pipeline 104 with a supplementary feeding bowl 22, the other end of which is connected to the mixing tank 18 via a pipe.

[0131] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water supply pipeline 103 includes: a hot water valve 4, one end of which is connected to the pipeline of the mixing tank 18, and the other end of which is connected to one end of the pipeline of the water heater 5, and the hot water valve 4 is electrically connected to the control panel 105; and a cold water valve 17, one end of which is connected to the pipeline of the mixing tank 18, and the other end of which is connected to the external water source pipeline, and the cold water valve 17 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0132] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water supply pipeline 103 includes:

[0133] The water heater 5 and the third relay 28 are connected at one end to an external water source pipe. The water heater 5 is electrically connected to the third relay 28 and the high-voltage power supply 24. The third relay 28 is also electrically connected to the high-voltage power supply 24 and the control panel 105.

[0134] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the hot water valve 4 and the cold water valve 17.

[0135] When the hot water valve 4 is open, hot water from the water heater 5 can be input into the mixing tank 18 through the hot water valve 4; when the hot water valve 4 is closed, hot water from the water heater 5 cannot be input into the mixing tank 18 through the hot water valve 4.

[0136] Similarly, when the cold water valve 17 is open, external water can be input into the mixing tank 18 through the cold water valve 17; when the cold water valve 17 is closed, external water cannot be input into the mixing tank 18 through the cold water valve 17.

[0137] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the main unit of the supplementary feeding equipment has an external water supply pipe interface 32 on one side.

[0138] In some exemplary embodiments, the hot water valve 4 can be installed inside the main unit of the feeding equipment and connected to the external water source pipe interface 32 via a pipe. The water heater 5 can be installed outside the main unit of the feeding equipment and connected to the external water source pipe interface 32 via a pipe. The water heater 5 is connected to the external water source via a pipe, so that the external water source can input cold water into the water heater 5 for heating, and then input hot water into the mixing tank 18 through the external water source pipe interface 32 and the hot water valve 4.

[0139] In some exemplary embodiments, the hot water valve 4 may also be located outside the main unit of the feeding equipment and connected to the external water source pipe interface 32 via a pipe, and the water heater 5 may be located outside the main unit of the feeding equipment and connected to the hot water valve 4 via a pipe.

[0140] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the third relay 28. When the third relay 28 is closed, the high-voltage power supply 24 supplies power to the water heater 5, so that the water heater 5 is in working state and heats the cold water input from the external water source. When the third relay 28 is open, the high-voltage power supply 24 is disconnected from the water heater 5, and the water heater 5 is in non-working state.

[0141] In some exemplary embodiments, the cold water valve 17 can be installed inside the main unit of the feeding equipment and connected to the external water source pipe interface 32 via a pipe. The external water source is connected to the external water source pipe interface 32 via a pipe, so that the external water source can input cold water into the mixing tank 18 through the external water source pipe interface 32 and the cold water valve 17.

[0142] In some exemplary embodiments, the cold water valve 17 may also be located outside the main unit of the feeding device and connected to the external water source pipe interface 32 via a pipe. The external water source is connected to the cold water valve 17 via a pipe, so that the external water source can input cold water into the mixing tank 18 through the cold water valve 17 and the external water source pipe interface 32.

[0143] In some exemplary embodiments, the water supply pipeline 103 includes a pressure reducing valve 23, one end of which is connected to the mixing tank 18 via a pipeline, and the other end of which is connected to the external water source via a pipeline.

[0144] In some exemplary embodiments, the water supply pipe 103 includes a pressure reducing valve 23, one end of which is connected to the other end of the water heater 5 and the other end of the cold water valve 17 via a pipe, and the other end of which is connected to the external water source via a pipe.

[0145] In some exemplary embodiments, the pressure reducing valve 23 is used to reduce the water pressure of an external water source.

[0146] In some exemplary embodiments, the pressure relief valve 23 may be located outside the main unit of the supplemental feeding device.

[0147] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the first relay 27. When the first relay 27 is closed, the high-voltage power supply 24 supplies power to the circulation pump 6, thereby putting the circulation pump 6 into operation, causing the circulation pump 6 to draw liquid from the mixing tank 18 to the supplementary feeding line (e.g., Figure 1On line 1 and line 2); when the first relay 27 is turned on, the high voltage power supply 24 is disconnected from the circulation pump 6, and the circulation pump 6 is in a non-working state.

[0148] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the supplementary feeding pipeline 104 includes: at least one supplementary feeding bowl 22 connected in series by a pipeline; a delivery valve 8, one end of which is connected to the other end of the circulation pump 6 by a pipeline, the other end of which is connected to one end of the supplementary feeding bowl 22 by a pipeline, and the delivery valve 8 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0149] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), the supplementary feeding bowl 22 includes: a supplementary feeding bowl body 2201; a pipe interface 2206, through which the supplementary feeding bowl 22 is connected in series in the supplementary feeding delivery pipeline 104; a locking component 2209, one end of which is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the supplementary feeding bowl body 2201, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the pipe interface 2206, and the locking component 2209 has a through hole in its center; and a trigger rod 2202, one end of which is fixedly installed on the supplementary feeding bowl body 2201. On the top of one side of 201, the other end of the trigger rod 2202 is not fixed. One end of the trigger rod 2202 has a protrusion 2213, which corresponds to the position of the through hole. The trigger rod 2202 can rotate around the fixed point of the feeding bowl body 2201. There is a return spring 2210, a rubber sealing ring 2212, and a liquid outlet rod 2211. The return spring 2210 is sleeved on the outside of the liquid outlet rod 2211. The liquid outlet rod 2211 with the return spring 2210 sleeved on it is inserted into the through hole. The rubber sealing ring 2212 is installed on the end of the liquid outlet rod 2211 near the pipe interface 2206.

[0150] In some exemplary embodiments, the locking component 2209 is a component for mounting the return spring 2210 and the liquid outlet rod 2211. The locking component 2209 may be, for example, a screw with a through hole in the center.

[0151] In some exemplary embodiments, when the piglet presses the trigger lever 2202, the protrusion 2213 on the trigger lever 2202 uses the lever principle to press the liquid dispensing lever 2211 backward, compressing the return spring 2210, so that the rubber sealing ring 2212 does not contact the locking component 2209, and thus the liquid in the pipe flows out into the feeding bowl body 2201 through the gap between the liquid dispensing lever 2211 and the inner wall of the pipe; when the piglet does not press the trigger lever 2202, the return spring 2210 returns to its original state and drives the liquid dispensing lever 2211 to move back, so that the rubber sealing ring 2212 contacts the locking component 2209, and thus the liquid in the pipe no longer flows out into the feeding bowl body 2201 through the gap between the liquid dispensing lever 2211 and the inner wall of the pipe, so that the piglet can eat the supplementary feeding liquid in the feeding bowl body 2201.

[0152] In some exemplary embodiments, the feeding bowl 22 further includes a float 2203 fixedly installed on the bottom of one side of the feeding bowl body 2201. The float 2203 is rotatable around the fixed installation point. When the water level in the feeding bowl body 2201 gradually rises, it drives the float 2203 to rotate around the fixed installation point, causing the float 2203 to float upwards, thereby pushing the trigger rod 2202 outwards. After the water level in the feeding bowl body 2201 reaches a certain height, the protrusion 2213 on the trigger rod 2202 will no longer be able to press the liquid discharge rod 2210 backwards, thus preventing the liquid in the pipe from flowing out into the feeding bowl body 2201 and preventing waste caused by excessive supplementary feeding liquid.

[0153] In some exemplary embodiments, a float 2203 is provided at the end of the trigger rod 2202 without the protrusion 2213, and the float 2203 can slide on the trigger rod 2202. When the water level in the feeding bowl body 2201 gradually rises, the float 2203 on the trigger rod 2202 will push the trigger rod 2202 outward as the liquid in the feeding bowl body 2201 gradually rises. After the water level in the feeding bowl body 2201 reaches a certain height, the protrusion 2213 on the trigger rod 2202 will no longer be able to press the liquid outlet rod 2210 backward, thereby preventing the liquid in the pipe from flowing out into the feeding bowl body 2201 and preventing waste caused by excessive feeding liquid.

[0154] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), a hole 2204 is provided at the bottom of the feeding bowl body 2201, which is normally sealed by a rubber block to prevent the supplementary feeding liquid from flowing out of the feeding bowl body 2201. When the feeding bowl 22 needs to be cleaned, the rubber block can be opened to allow the sewage to flow out from the bottom of the feeding bowl body 2201. After cleaning, the hole is sealed with a rubber block again, without having to remove the feeding bowl 22 from the farrowing bed for cleaning, thus improving the efficiency of cleaning the feeding bowl.

[0155] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the main body 2201 of the supplementary feeding bowl is provided with a dividing component 2214, which divides the main body 2201 of the supplementary feeding bowl into two spaces, each of which can provide supplementary feeding liquid for one piglet.

[0156] In some exemplary embodiments, the length of one side of the feeding bowl body 2201 is greater than or equal to 130 millimeters (mm).

[0157] In some exemplary embodiments, the dividing member 2214 divides a side of the feeding bowl body 2201 that is greater than or equal to 130 mm into two parts. For example, the dividing member 2214 divides a side of the feeding bowl body 2201 that is greater than or equal to 130 mm into two equal sub-sides.

[0158] In some exemplary embodiments, the separator 2214 is perpendicular to the side of the feeding bowl body 2201 that is greater than or equal to 130 mm.

[0159] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a baffle component 2215 is provided at the bottom of the feeding bowl body 2201. The baffle component 2215 is located around the float 2203, so that the feeding liquid can accumulate in the closed space enclosed by the baffle component 2215. When the piglets use the feeding liquid in the closed space, they can more easily touch the trigger rod 2202 and press the liquid dispensing rod 2210 to move backward, compressing the reset spring 2209, so that the rubber sealing ring 2212 does not contact the locking component 2209, and then the liquid in the pipe flows out into the feeding bowl body 2201 through the gap between the liquid dispensing rod 2210 and the inner wall of the pipe.

[0160] In some exemplary embodiments, the supplemental feeding pipeline 104 further includes a PIG valve 9, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first end 91 of the PIG valve 9 is connected to the other end of the delivery valve 8 through a pipe. The second end 92 and the third end 93 of the PIG valve 9 are both connected to one end of the feeding bowl 22 through pipes. A PIG slider 21 is provided in the pipe connecting the second end 92 and the third end 93 of the PIG valve 9. The PIG valve 9 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0161] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a section of pipe between the second end 92 and the third end 93 of the PIG valve 9 is used to place the PIG slider 21. One end of the pipe for placing the PIG slider 21 is connected to the second end 92, and the other end is connected to the third end 93. The connection between the other end and the third end 93 is connected to one end of the feeding bowl 22 via a pipe. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The water outlet 95 shown is connected to one end of the feeding bowl 22 via a pipe.

[0162] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the pipes connected to both the second end 92 and the third end 93 of the PIG valve 9 can extend from the side of the main unit of the supplemental feeding equipment (i.e., Figure 6 and Figure 7 The water outlet of the pipe in the middle is 95, and Figure 10 The circuit circulation water outlet pipe interface 30) is connected to the feeding bowl 22 in the farrowing room through a pipe. After connecting the feeding bowl 22, it is connected to the main unit of the feeding equipment through the circuit circulation water return pipe interface 31.

[0163] In some exemplary embodiments, the pipeline between the first end 91 and the second end 92 of the PIG valve 9 is the main pipeline, and the pipeline between the first end 91 and the third end 93 is the secondary pipeline.

[0164] In some exemplary embodiments, the pipeline connecting the second end 92 and the third end 93 of the PIG valve 9 may be provided with, for example, Figure 5 The PIG slider 21 is shown.

[0165] In some exemplary embodiments, the pipeline connecting the second end 92 and the third end 93 of the PIG valve 9 may be pre-configured as follows: Figure 5 The PIG slider 21 shown can also have a quick-release component 94 at the connection between one end of the pipe used to house the PIG slider 21 and the second end 92 of the PIG valve 9. The quick-release component 94 is only disengaged when cleaning is required, allowing the PIG slider 21 to be removed. Figure 5 The PIG slider 21 shown is placed into the pipe connecting the second end 92 and the third end 93, and then the quick-connect component 94 at the connection point is inserted.

[0166] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 can control whether the first end 91 of the PIG valve 9 or 11 is connected to the second end 92 or to the third end 93. If the control panel 105 controls the first end 91 of the PIG valve 9 or 11 to be connected to the second end 92, then when water passes through the PIG valve 9, it will impact the PIG slider 21, causing the PIG slider 21 to rub against the inner wall of the pipe to achieve a cleaning effect.

[0167] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, in order to ensure that the PIG slider 21 can play a cleaning role and slide inside the pipe under the impact of water, a solid plastic block (not marked in the figure) can be set at the bottom of the PIG slider 21. The diameter of the maximum diameter of the PIG slider 21 is set to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe, and the inner diameter of all pipes of the feeding equipment is basically the same.

[0168] In some exemplary embodiments, in order to push the PIG slider 21 to slide in the pipe, the pumping pressure of the circulation pump 6 can be controlled to make the water pressure in the pipe relatively high. In the feeding bowl 22, the liquid outlet direction of the feeding bowl 22 is perpendicular to the pipe direction because of the setting of the trigger rod 2202. Even under high pressure impact, the liquid in the pipe will be blocked by the trigger rod 2202 and buffered, so as not to be sprayed out of the feeding bowl 22.

[0169] In some exemplary embodiments, in order to enable the PIG slider 21 to slide at bends, the material of the PIG slider 21 can be set to sponge material, and the head of the PIG slider 21 can be set to be arc-shaped to guide the direction of movement, so that the PIG slider 21 can smoothly pass through the bends and connections of the pipe, and prevent the PIG slider 21 from getting stuck due to slight changes in pipe diameter or excessive bends at the connection.

[0170] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 includes: at least one processor 1051; and a display 1053;

[0171] The memory 1052 stores at least one control program, which, when executed by the at least one processor 1051, controls the stirrer 2, the low water level probe 181, the medium water level probe 182, the high water level probe 183, the circulation pump 6, and the display 1053.

[0172] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control panel 105 is powered by a low-voltage power supply 25, which also powers other electronic components electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0173] In some exemplary embodiments, the low-voltage power supply 25 may be 24V.

[0174] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, one side of the supplementary feeding device has a viewing window 26, and the display 1053 of the control panel 105 is fixed at the corresponding position of the viewing window 26. Through the viewing window 26, the user can see the display 1503 and perform touch operations on the display 1503.

[0175] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 further includes one or more I / O interfaces 1054 connected between the processor 1501 and the memory 1502, configured to enable information interaction between the processor 1501 and the memory 1502.

[0176] In some exemplary embodiments, the processor 1501 is a device with data processing capabilities, including but not limited to a central processing unit (CPU); the memory 1502 is a device with data storage capabilities, including but not limited to random access memory (RAM, more specifically SDRAM, DDR, etc.), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and flash memory (FLASH); the I / O interface (read / write interface) 1503 is connected between the processor 1501 and the memory 1502, enabling information interaction between the processor 1501 and the memory 1502, including but not limited to a data bus (Bus).

[0177] In some exemplary embodiments, the processor 1501, memory 1502, and I / O interface 1504 are interconnected via a bus, and thus connected to other components of the computing device.

[0178] In some exemplary embodiments, the host further includes: a circulation valve 12, one end of which is connected to the mixing tank 18 via a pipe, and the other end of which is connected to the other end of each of the supplementary feeding pipelines 104 via a pipe, and the circulation valve 12 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0179] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the circulation valve 12.

[0180] When the circulation valve 12 is open, the liquid circulating in the feed delivery pipeline 104 can be circulated back into the mixing tank 18 through the circulation valve 12; when the circulation valve 12 is closed, the liquid circulating in the feed delivery pipeline 104 cannot be circulated back into the mixing tank 18 through the circulation valve 12.

[0181] In some exemplary embodiments, the host further includes: a recovery valve 13, one end of which is connected to the other end of the circulation valve 12 and the other end of each of the supplementary feeding pipelines 104 via a pipe, the other end of which is connected to a sewage collection container via a pipe, and the recovery valve 13 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0182] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the recovery valve 13.

[0183] When the recovery valve 13 is open, the liquid in the mixing tank 18 or the liquid in the supplementary feed delivery line 104 can be discharged through the recovery valve 13; when the recovery valve 13 is closed, the liquid in the mixing tank 18 or the liquid in the supplementary feed delivery line 104 cannot be discharged through the recovery valve 13.

[0184] In some exemplary embodiments, the host further includes: a drain valve 14, one end of which is connected to the other end of the circulation valve 12 and the other end of each of the supplementary feeding pipelines 104 via a pipe, the other end of which is connected to the supplementary feeding liquid collection container via a pipe, and the drain valve 14 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0185] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the drain valve 14.

[0186] When the drain valve 14 is open, the liquid in the mixing tank 18 or the liquid in the feed delivery pipeline 104 can be discharged through the drain valve 14; when the drain valve 14 is closed, the liquid in the mixing tank 18 or the liquid in the feed delivery pipeline 104 cannot be discharged through the drain valve 14.

[0187] In some exemplary embodiments, the host further includes: a return water valve 7, one end of which is connected to the mixing tank 18 via a pipe, the other end of which is connected to the other end of the circulation pump 6 and one end of the supplementary feed delivery pipeline 104 via a pipe, and the return water valve 7 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0188] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the return water valve 7.

[0189] In some exemplary embodiments, when the control panel 105 controls the circulation pump 6 to be in working state, it can also control the return water valve 7 to open, so that some of the liquid passing through the circulation pump 6 can flow back into the mixing tank 18 through the return water valve 7, which can assist in stirring inside the mixing tank 18, and at the same time prevent the circulation pump 6 from being damaged by pressure buildup due to long-term operation.

[0190] In some exemplary embodiments, the host further includes a disinfection material storage chamber assembly 102 for storing disinfection materials and controlling whether to output the disinfection materials, the disinfection material storage chamber assembly 102 being connected to the mixing tank 18 via a pipeline.

[0191] In some exemplary embodiments, the disinfection material storage assembly 102 includes: a disinfection material storage 3 for storing the disinfection material; and a disinfection material storage motor 1021 for controlling whether to output the disinfection material, wherein the disinfection material storage motor 1021 is electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0192] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the motor 1021 of the disinfection powder bin 3 and the disinfection material bin can be set on one side of the main unit of the supplementary feeding equipment and on the upper part of the mixing tank 18.

[0193] In some exemplary embodiments, the disinfection material bin assembly 102 further includes a second feeding screw (not shown in the figure). The disinfection material bin motor 1021 controls the rotation of the second feeding screw to feed disinfection material from the disinfection material bin 3. Since the amount of disinfection material output by the second feeding screw in one rotation is fixed, the amount of disinfection material output from the disinfection material bin 3 can be controlled by controlling the number of rotations of the second feeding screw.

[0194] In some exemplary embodiments, the user can input the number of rotations required for the second feeding screw in the control panel 105. The control panel 105 sends the number of rotations required for the second feeding screw to the disinfection material hopper motor 1021. The disinfection material hopper motor 1021 controls the second feeding screw to rotate the corresponding number of rotations, thereby controlling the amount of disinfection material output from the disinfection material hopper 3 through the control panel 105.

[0195] In some exemplary embodiments, the disinfection material storage assembly 102 further includes a second material probe 20 for detecting whether there is still disinfection material in the disinfection material storage 3, the second material probe 20 being electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0196] In some exemplary embodiments, the second material probe 20 ( Figures 5 to 7 (Not shown) can be set at the bottom of the disinfection material chamber 3. The second material probe 20 is used to measure whether the height of the disinfection material in the disinfection material chamber 3 has reached the corresponding position of the second material probe 20. If the height of the disinfection material in the disinfection material chamber 3 has reached the corresponding position of the second material probe 20, it means that there is no disinfection material in the disinfection material chamber 3. If the height of the disinfection material in the disinfection material chamber 3 has not reached the corresponding position of the second material probe 20, it means that there is still disinfection material in the disinfection material chamber 3.

[0197] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also configured to receive information sent by the second material probe 20, which characterizes whether the height of the disinfectant material in the disinfectant material bin 3 measured by the second material probe 20 has reached the corresponding position of the second material probe 20.

[0198] In some exemplary embodiments, the supplementary feeding device further includes: a heat exchange tank 15; a portion of the pipe connecting the other end of the supplementary feeding delivery pipeline 104 to the mixing tank 18 is coiled inside the heat exchange tank 15; a fourth relay 151 and a heating wire 152 are disposed inside the heat exchange tank 15, the fourth relay 151 being electrically connected to the control panel 105, the heating wire 152 and the high-voltage power supply 24, and the heating wire 152 being electrically connected to the fourth relay 151 and the high-voltage power supply 24.

[0199] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, one end of the coiled pipe in the heat exchange tank 15 can be connected to... Figure 8 The other end can be connected to the circulating water outlet pipe interface 30 in the circuit, and can be connected to... Figure 8 The circuit circulation return water pipe interface 31 is connected.

[0200] In some exemplary embodiments, the number of pipes coiled inside the heat exchange tank 15 may be the same as the number of circulation lines.

[0201] In some exemplary embodiments, the number of pipes coiled inside the heat exchange tank 15 may also differ from the number of circulation lines.

[0202] In some exemplary embodiments, water is provided in the heat exchange tank 15, and the water at least covers the pipes coiled inside the heat exchange tank 15. When the heating wire 152 heats, it heats the water in the heat exchange tank 15 through heat exchange. The hot water in the heat exchange tank 15 heats the liquid in the pipes through heat exchange, thereby heating the liquid circulating in the pipes. This method can effectively prevent piglets from experiencing intestinal stress diarrhea due to drinking cold liquids. This method differs from directly placing the heating wire 152 into the circulating liquid in the pipes for heating. It effectively prevents the high-temperature heating wire 152 from being corroded by the circulating liquid or from having its surface charred after heating. It effectively reduces the risk of damage to the heating wire 152 and extends its service life. At the same time, it also prevents the high temperature on the surface of the heating wire 152 from destroying the nutrients in the circulating liquid during the heating process.

[0203] In some exemplary embodiments, the power of the heating wire 152 can be determined based on the heat dissipation capacity of the pipes arranged in the feeding equipment. For example, the power of the heating wire 152 can be greater than the total heat dissipation of the pipes. Specifically, the power of the heating wire 152 can be 2.5 times the surface heat dissipation efficiency of the pipes.

[0204] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to control the opening or closing of the fourth relay 151. When the fourth relay 151 is closed, the high-voltage power supply 24 supplies power to the heating wire 152, so that the heating wire 152 is in a working state, and the heating wire 15 heats the water in the heat exchange tank 15. When the fourth relay 151 is open, the high-voltage power supply 24 is disconnected from the heating wire 15, and the heating wire 152 is in a non-working state.

[0205] In some exemplary embodiments, the supplementary feeding device further includes a temperature probe 153 disposed within the heat exchange tank 15, the temperature probe 153 being electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0206] In some exemplary embodiments, the control panel 105 is also used to receive the temperature value measured by the temperature probe 153 and determine whether to continue controlling the heating wire 152 to heat based on the temperature value.

[0207] The supplementary feeding equipment provided in this application embodiment realizes the automatic preparation of supplementary feeding liquid with a set feed-to-water ratio through the supplementary feeding material bin assembly 101, water pipeline 103 and three water level probes. The automatic stirring of the supplementary feeding liquid is realized through the stirrer 2, so that the supplementary feeding material can be fully mixed with water, which is convenient for subsequent pipeline transportation to the farrowing house. The circulation pump 6 realizes the automatic transportation of supplementary feeding liquid in the stirring tank 18 through the pipeline. Furthermore, the supplementary feeding equipment of this application embodiment is smaller than a sow in the farrowing house, can be used in any passageway in the pig farm, and can be equipped with wheeled legs to be pushed to the farrowing house that needs supplementary feeding. It can be used in the narrow working environment such as the corridors and passageways of the farrowing house in the existing large-scale pig farm. Therefore, the supplementary feeding equipment of this application embodiment can be matched with different supplementary feeding schemes and a large number of existing pig farms with different production modes.
