Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig breeding technology, and in particular to a farrowing pen for livestock. Background Technology

[0002] In pig farming, if the pigsty is crowded, pregnant sows awaiting farrowing are prone to miscarriage due to squeezing and bumping among the pigs. Therefore, sows awaiting farrowing need to be kept in separate pens, and their activity space and amount of exercise should be minimized as much as possible while providing necessary nutrition and feed to facilitate a smooth farrowing. Sow gestation crates are used to limit the size of sows, which facilitates quality management and streamlined management of sows in order to obtain maximum benefits. Farrowing crates are the pigsties where sows give birth.

[0003] While existing farrowing pens for pig farming possess basic functions of confinement and rearing, several problems remain to be solved in practical application: First, sows of different breeds and growth stages vary significantly in size, and traditional farrowing pens typically have fixed widths, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to the rearing needs of sows of different sizes and their dynamic needs for movement space before and after farrowing. Second, existing disinfection procedures are cumbersome. Traditional farrowing pen disinfection relies on external disinfection equipment, requiring operators to repeatedly move and connect the equipment, resulting in high labor intensity and potential for incomplete disinfection, posing a risk of disease transmission.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a livestock farrowing pen 10 includes a base 100, which is a slatted floor with through holes to facilitate the falling of excrement and keep the pen clean and hygienic. Adjustable support feet are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the base 100 to raise the farrowing pen as a whole, making it easier to clean up excrement and adapting to the flatness requirements of different terrains. A guardrail 110 is provided on the outer wall surrounding the upper surface of the base 100. An adjustable fence 120 is provided in the middle of the guardrail 110, which divides the interior of the guardrail 110 into a piglet activity area and a sow confinement area. The side wall of the sow confinement area is provided with a gate 130 for the sow to enter and exit. The gate 130 is hinged to the guardrail 110 by a hinge and is provided with a locking device to facilitate fixing the open or closed state. A feeding trough 410 is also provided in the sow confinement area to facilitate feeding the sow. A heat preservation area 300 is provided in the piglet activity area to maintain a suitable temperature for the piglets, effectively preventing the piglets from getting cold and improving the survival rate.

[0024] Furthermore, to facilitate changing the position of the adjustment pen 120 and thus the size of the sow restraint area to accommodate sows of different sizes, mounting grooves 200 are provided on the lower part of the two side walls of the guardrail 110 perpendicular to its length. Each mounting groove 200 is rotatably connected to a screw 210, and a connecting block that can slide along its axial direction is fitted on the screw 210. A synchronous pulley is fixed to one end of the screw 210 extending outside the guardrail 110, and the two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt drive. The end of one screw 210 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 220. When the drive motor 220 is working, it drives the screw 210 to rotate, and the other screw 210 rotates synchronously through the synchronous belt. A T-shaped sliding groove 240 is also provided above the mounting groove 200. The upper end of the adjusting bar 120 is provided with a T-shaped block that matches the T-shaped sliding groove 240 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 240. The lower end of the adjusting bar 120 is fixedly connected to the connecting block. The drive motor 220 drives the screw 210 to rotate, causing the connecting block to move along the axial direction of the screw 210, thereby realizing the left and right sliding of the adjusting bar 120 within the guardrail 110, adjusting the size of the sow limiting area to accommodate sows of different sizes. To prevent the synchronous belt from being disturbed during transmission, a protective cover 230 is provided on the outside of the guardrail 110. The protective cover 230 covers the outside of the synchronous pulley and the synchronous belt, effectively preventing dust, feces and other debris from entering the transmission area.

[0025] To fix the position of the adjustment pen 120, a threaded hole communicating with the sliding groove 240 is provided on the outer wall of the guardrail 110. A fastening bolt 250 is provided in the threaded hole. The distance between two adjacent fastening bolts 250 is less than the length of the T-shaped block connecting the adjustment pen 120 and the sliding groove 240. This ensures that after the adjustment pen 120 slides to any position, it can be firmly fixed by tightening the fastening bolt 250 against the side of the T-shaped block, preventing position displacement due to collisions when the sow moves. In addition, an anti-pressure bar 121 is provided at the bottom of the adjustment pen 120. The anti-pressure bars 121 are arranged at equal intervals to prevent the sow from pressing on the piglets when lying down, further improving the survival rate of piglets.

[0026] To provide a suitable constant temperature environment for piglets in the piglet activity area, a heat preservation zone 300 is set up in a corner of the piglet activity area. The heat preservation zone 300 is located away from the sow confinement area and the feeding trough 410 to reduce the risk of being trampled by the sow. The heat preservation zone 300 includes a heat preservation pad 310 fixed above the base 100. A detachable mounting cover 320 is provided above the heat preservation pad 310. An infrared heating lamp is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting cover 320 to provide a stable heat source for the piglets through infrared radiation. The heat preservation pad 310 is made of a heat-insulating material, which can effectively reduce heat loss. The mounting cover 320 is detachably connected to the guardrail 110, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning during disinfection and improves the disinfection effect.

[0027] To facilitate feeding the sow, an opening is provided on the side wall of the guardrail 110. Below the opening is a rotating rod, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 400. A connecting rod 430 is provided at the upper end of the rotating frame 400, and a fixing rod 420 is provided at the upper end of the guardrail 110. The connecting rod 430 and the fixing rod 420 are at the same height. The upper end of the connecting rod 430 has an upper groove 431, and the upper end of the fixing rod 420 has a lower groove 421. The upper groove 431 and the lower groove 421 together form a complete locking groove. A locking block 440 is rotatably connected to the end of the lower groove 421 away from the connecting rod 430. The shape of the locking block 440 matches the shape of the locking groove. By rotating the locking block 440, it can be inserted into or released from the locking groove, thereby achieving… The rotating frame 400 is locked and released. To facilitate control of the locking block 440, a lifting ring 441 is provided at the end of the locking block 440 away from the rotating axis. By lifting the lifting ring 441, the locking block 440 is controlled to rotate around the rotating axis. A connecting rope is also provided between the connecting rod 430 and the fixed rod 420. The two ends of the connecting rope are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 430 and the fixed rod 420 respectively. When the locking block 440 is disengaged from the locking groove, the connecting rope can limit the flipping angle of the rotating frame 400 and prevent it from tipping over completely. The feeding trough 410 is fixed on the inner wall of the rotating frame 400. When feeding is required, the locking block 440 is rotated to disengage it from the locking groove. The rotating frame 400 unfolds smoothly under the traction of the connecting rope, and the feeding trough 410 rotates the frame 400, which facilitates the feeding operation.

[0028] Furthermore, the delivery stall also includes a disinfection component 500, which includes a disinfection tank 510, a water pump 520, a water supply pipe 530, and atomizing nozzles 540. The disinfection tank 510 is located outside the guardrail 110, and the water pump 520 is installed above the disinfection tank 510. The input end of the water pump 520 is connected to the disinfection tank 510, and the output end is connected to the water supply pipe 530. Multiple atomizing nozzles 540 are fixed at equal intervals above the adjusting bar 120, and all atomizing nozzles 540 are connected to the water supply pipe 530. The water pump 520 delivers the disinfectant solution in the disinfection tank 510 to each atomizing nozzle 540 through the water supply pipe 530, thereby achieving automatic spray disinfection inside the delivery stall. The atomizing nozzles 540 can move synchronously with the adjusting bar 120 to improve the disinfection coverage.

[0029] The general workflow of this utility model is as follows: Open the gate 130 to guide the sow into the farrowing pen. After closing the gate 130, adjust the width of the limiting pen according to the sow's body size. Drive the screw 210 to rotate via the drive motor 220, moving the adjusting pen 120 to adapt to the sow's body size, ensuring restricted movement without pressure. After adjustment, tighten the fastening bolt 250 to fix the position of the adjusting pen 120. During feeding, rotate the locking block 440 to disengage it from the locking groove. The connecting rope limits the rotation angle of the rotating frame 400, facilitating feed addition to the feeding trough 410. Then, reset the rotating frame 400. The rotating locking block 440 is embedded into the locking groove to complete the locking process. After the piglets are born, they are continuously heated by infrared heating lamps, and the heat-insulating pad 310 reduces heat loss and maintains a suitable temperature. During the disinfection process, all fastening bolts 250 are loosened, and the installation cover 320 is removed to facilitate the control of the atomizing nozzle 540, which moves synchronously with the adjusting pen 120 to fully cover the interior space of the farrowing pen. The disinfectant is pumped from the disinfection tank 510 through the water pipe 530 to the atomizing nozzle 540, forming a fine spray that evenly covers the pen environment, effectively killing pathogenic microorganisms and ensuring the hygiene and safety of the piglets' growth environment. This utility model has the advantages of simple structure and strong practicality. It can flexibly adjust the space according to the sow's body size, effectively improving the survival rate of piglets.
