Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a foldable piglet batch feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of large-scale pig farming, improving sow reproductive efficiency and piglet survival rate has become a core issue for the industry. Currently, through breed improvement, nutritional regulation and other technical means, the number of piglets per litter has been significantly increased, with litters often exceeding 14 piglets. At the same time, due to factors such as the implantation location of the fetus in the mother's womb and differences in nutrient absorption, there are significant differences in the weight of piglets within the same litter, and the differentiation between strong and weak piglets is common.

[0003] However, the traditional farrowing crates used in existing large-scale pig farms do not have dedicated isolation facilities for batch lactation, thus presenting the following key problems: Imbalance in suckling competition: During suckling, strong piglets use their physical advantage to seize the sow's effective teats and frequently fight with weaker piglets, resulting in weaker piglets not being able to suckle for long enough each time, thus leading to a lower survival rate for weaker piglets. Increased risk of disease transmission: Piglets are prone to skin abrasions during fights, and weak piglets have low immunity due to malnutrition, which increases the probability of transmission of pathogens such as E. coli and porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus, further aggravating the mortality rate of piglets. Low management efficiency: To improve the above problems, farmers need to manually isolate the animals every day, which greatly increases the labor intensity, is inefficient, and makes it difficult to ensure that each weak animal receives an equal opportunity to nurse. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a foldable piglet batch nursing device, which solves the problem of piglet fighting during nursing by means of a flexible batch isolation design; at the same time, with the help of the foldable structure, the device can be retracted during non-nursing periods to avoid occupying the piglets' activity space and optimize the utilization rate of farrowing room space.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a foldable piglet batch feeding device includes a farrowing bed body, a first inlet and outlet on one side, and a lifting door at the first inlet and outlet. Multiple secondary entrances and exits are located on the other side of the main body of the delivery bed and are positioned opposite to the primary entrance and exit. The outer frame is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the side end where the second inlet and outlet are located on the main body of the delivery bed; A partition is rotatably positioned between the gaps of multiple second inlets and outlets and is adapted to the size of the second inlets and outlets; The fixed components are detachably connected between the outer frame and the partition, allowing the outer frame and partition to be attached to the side of the main body of the delivery bed or to be rotated to the outside of the main body of the delivery bed to form a partitioned area.

[0006] Preferably, a partition rod is vertically provided on the side end of the delivery bed body away from the first inlet and outlet, and the partition rod divides the side end of the delivery bed body into multiple second inlets and outlets. One end of the partition is rotatably mounted on the side of the partition rod, and two outer frames are respectively rotatably mounted on the outer ends of the delivery bed body where the second inlets and outlets are opened.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the partition away from the rotating end is provided with an extension plate. When the extension plate is fully retracted into the partition, the partition can rotate along the dividing rod to the adjacent second inlet / outlet. The end of the outer frame away from the rotating end is provided with an extension rail. When the extension rail is fully retracted into the outer frame, the two outer frames can rotate to fit against the side of the delivery bed body.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing components include a first fixing component and a second fixing component. The first fixing component is used to attach the outer frame and partition to the side of the main body of the delivery bed, and the second fixing component is used to rotate the outer frame and partition to the outside of the main body of the delivery bed to form a partition area.

[0010] Preferably, the first fixing component consists of a fixing rod and a rotating locking rod disposed on the outer sides of the two outer frames. One end of the rotating locking rod is rotatably mounted on any one of the fixing rods, and the other end is provided with a U-shaped slot.

[0021] As described in the background section, the traditional farrowing crates used in existing large-scale pig farms do not have dedicated isolation facilities for batch lactation, which leads to many problems.

[0022] For the reasons stated above, please refer to the appendix for solutions to these problems. Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 6 This utility model provides a foldable piglet batch feeding device, including a farrowing bed body 1, a first inlet and outlet on one side and a lifting door 2 at the first inlet and outlet; Multiple secondary inlets and outlets are located on the other side of the main body of the delivery bed 1 and are positioned opposite to the primary inlet and outlet; The outer frame 7 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the side end of the main body 1 of the delivery bed where the second inlet and outlet are located; The partition 5 is rotatably positioned between the gaps of the multiple second inlets and outlets and is adapted to the size of the second inlets and outlets; The fixing component is detachably connected between the outer frame 7 and the partition 5, so that the outer frame 7 and the partition 5 are attached to the side of the delivery bed body 1 or the outer frame 7 and the partition 5 are rotated to the outside of the delivery bed body 1 to form a partition area.

[0023] In this embodiment, a dividing rod 3 is vertically arranged on the side end of the delivery bed body 1 away from the first inlet and outlet. The dividing rod 3 divides the side end of the delivery bed body 1 into multiple second inlets and outlets. One end of the partition plate 5 is rotatably installed on the side of the dividing rod 3. There are two outer frames 7, which are rotatably installed on the outer ends of the delivery bed body 1 where the second inlets and outlets are opened.

[0024] According to the above paragraph, both the outer frame and the partition can be rotatably mounted on the main body of the delivery bed and the partition rod via hinges, so as to facilitate folding or unfolding.

[0025] In this embodiment, a strip-shaped hole is provided at the top of the side end of the delivery bed body 1 where the second inlet and outlet are provided. A partition 4 is slidably provided in the strip-shaped hole along the vertical direction. The partition 4 is inserted into any one of the second inlets and outlets.

[0026] As mentioned above, the purpose of setting up partitions is to separate the main farrowing crate from the piglet placement area, thereby ensuring that piglets from multiple placement areas are nursed in batches during lactation, avoiding competition for food.

[0027] In this embodiment, the end of the partition 5 away from the rotating end is provided with an extension plate 6. When the extension plate 6 is fully retracted into the partition 5, the partition 5 can rotate along the separator 3 to the adjacent second inlet and outlet. The end of the outer frame 7 away from the rotating end is provided with an extension rail 8. When the extension rail 8 is fully retracted into the outer frame 7, the two outer frames 7 can rotate to fit against the side of the delivery bed body 1.

[0028] As mentioned above, setting up extension boards and extension pens is to facilitate expanding the placement area of ​​piglets, thereby accommodating piglets of different sizes or numbers.

[0029] Furthermore, the extension lengths of the extension plate 6 and the extension pen 8 do not need to be fixed. It is only necessary to ensure that the extension plate 6 and the extension pen 8 do not detach from the partition 5 and the outer frame 7. This method can effectively expand the activity space of piglets in the piglet placement area and maximize the activity space.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fixing components include a first fixing component and a second fixing component. The first fixing component is used to attach the outer frame 7 and the partition 5 to the side of the delivery bed body 1, and the second fixing component is used to rotate the outer frame 7 and the partition 5 to the outside of the delivery bed body 1 to form a separation area.

[0031] As described above, the first fixing component is provided to facilitate folding and fixing the outer frame and partition to the side of the farrowing crate body, and the second fixing component is provided to facilitate unfolding the outer frame and partition to the outside of the farrowing crate body to form a piglet placement area.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first fixing component is a fixing rod and a rotating locking rod 12 disposed on the outer side of the two outer frames 7. One end of the rotating locking rod 12 is rotatably mounted on any one of the fixing rods, and the other end is provided with a U-shaped slot. When the two outer frames 7 rotate and are pressed against the outer side of the delivery bed body 1, the U-shaped slot of the rotating locking rod 12 is engaged with the fixing rod of the other outer frame 7.

[0033] Based on the above, the specific structure of the first fixing component is designed to facilitate the folding and fixing of the outer frame and partition onto the side of the delivery bed body.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second fixing component is a fixing rod 9 and a side baffle 10. When the outer frame 7 and the partition 5 are rotated to be perpendicular to the main body of the delivery bed 1, the fixing rod 9 is inserted into the top of the outer frame 7 and the partition 5 to fix them. The side baffle 10 is attached to the outer end of the extension rail 8 on the outer side of the outer frame 7 and is connected and fixed by fasteners 11.

[0035] Based on the above, the specific structure of the second fixing component is designed to facilitate the unfolding and fixing of the outer frame and partition on the side of the delivery bed body.

[0036] In this embodiment, the top side of the side baffle 10 has a folded edge, and a limiting hole is provided on the folded edge. When the outer ends of the side baffle 10 and the extension rail 8 are attached and connected and fixed by the fastener 11, the tops of the extension rail 8 and the extension plate 6 are inserted into the limiting hole of the side baffle 10.

[0037] Based on the above, the connection and fixation of the side baffles with the extension fence and extension plate is to improve the stability of the outer frame and partition when they are unfolded, and to prevent the outer frame and partition from overturning due to collisions when piglets enter or leave the piglet placement area.

[0038] In this embodiment, a soft layer is provided on the outside of the partition 5, extension plate 6, outer frame 7, extension rail 8 and side baffle 10.

[0039] Based on the above, setting up a soft layer can provide some protection for piglets.

[0040] In use, the breastfeeding device is first raised by lifting the lifting door 2 to drive the farrowing pig from the first inlet / outlet into the farrowing crate body 1, and then the lifting door 2 is lowered and fixed to the first inlet / outlet 9 of the farrowing crate body 1 (see Appendix). Figure 3 As can be seen from the lifting mechanism of the lifting gate 2, one can wait for the pig to give birth.

[0041] After the pigs give birth, flip and rotate lever 12 to separate it from the other outer frame 7. Then, rotate both outer frames 7 to their outer ends (see attached diagram). Figure 5 (Display status), until the outer frame 7 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the main body 1 of the delivery bed, then the partition 5 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the main body 1 of the delivery bed, and the second fixing component is installed (refer to the attached document). Figure 4During installation, the fixing rods 9 are inserted into the top of the partition 5 and the outer frame 7 respectively to fix them. Then, the side baffle 10 is fitted onto the top of the extension plate 6 and the extension fence 8 through the limiting hole of the top folded edge. The side baffle 10 is kept lowered to keep the connection hole of the side baffle 10 corresponding to the connection hole at the end of the outer frame 7. Then, it is connected by fasteners 11 (i.e., by bolts and nuts, which is a conventional mechanical connection method). Thus, through the enclosure of the partition 5, the outer frame 7, the side baffle 10 and the farrowing bed body 1, multiple piglet placement areas are formed. Piglets of different sizes after birth can be driven to different placement areas. Then, the partition fence 4 is installed on the farrowing bed body 1 to separate them.

[0042] When piglets reach a certain stage of growth and need to leave the piglet placement area, the side panel 10 can be removed to drive them out directly, or the partition 3 and lifting door 2 can be removed to drive them out of the farrowing crate body 1. After that, remove the fixing rod 9, and then rotate the partition 5 to the inner end of the farrowing crate body 1 (at this time, it is necessary to ensure that the extension plate 6 is completely retracted into the partition 5). Then, rotate the two outer frames 7 until they are flush against the side of the farrowing crate body 1 (at this time, it is necessary to ensure that the extension plate 8 is completely retracted into the outer frame 7). Finally, rotate the rotating rod 12 until it is engaged and fixed with the fixing rod of the other outer frame 7, thus achieving folding (see attached). Figure 6 (Display status) to prevent piglets from growing up and being driven out, thus taking up space in the farrowing room.

[0043] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
