Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding equipment technology, specifically to a pressure relief device for preventing piglets from being crushed during lactation. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale pig farming, the main cause of death for suckling piglets is being crushed by the sow. To prevent such accidents, farms commonly use a device called an anti-crushing bar. This device is usually installed in the middle of both sides of the farrowing crate enclosure, within the sow's lying area. The sow can move up and down, with the maximum upward movement angle parallel to the side fences and the maximum downward movement angle perpendicular or slightly downward to the side fences, but not parallel to them. When the sow gets up, the anti-crushing bar is easily arched up. When lying down, the sow cannot lie directly on the farrowing crate; she needs to arch the anti-crushing bar and gradually lie down. This provides a buffer against the sow's sudden standing or lying down, giving piglets the opportunity and time to escape, effectively reducing the chances of suckling piglets being crushed to death.

[0003] Furthermore, several fixed dividers are installed below the two anti-crushing bars to separate the piglets, preventing them from crowding together in front of the sow's teats to suckle for nutrition. However, since the dividers are fixed and cannot be adjusted, and piglets grow rapidly during lactation, their body size can change significantly within a few weeks. At the same time, there are also individual size differences among piglets in the same litter. The fixed spacing of the dividers cannot be dynamically adjusted. For smaller newborn piglets, the spacing may be too wide, still posing a risk of being crushed; while for slightly older piglets, the fixed spacing may be too narrow, affecting their free movement within the enclosure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure relief device for piglets during lactation to prevent them from being crushed, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A suckling period anti-crushing bar device for preventing piglets from being crushed includes a fence, inside which two support frames are fixedly installed by fasteners, and two connecting rods are fixedly connected inside the two support frames. The top of the two lower connecting rods is rotatably installed with an anti-crushing bar body, and mounting rods are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two lower connecting rods. Several partition components are slidably installed on the outer walls of the two mounting rods. All of the aforementioned partition components include partition rods, partition plates, and connecting blocks. There are two partition rods, which are welded to the partition plates as a single unit. The connecting block is welded to the partition rod on the side closest to the mounting rod. The connecting block is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the corresponding side mounting rod. The side of the connecting block closest to the mounting rod is U-shaped.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the mounting rod is provided with a plurality of vertical positioning holes, the positioning holes penetrating the mounting rod, and the connecting block being slidably installed with the mounting rod through the positioning holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting block has a mating hole inside, and a T-shaped rod is inserted into the top of the connecting block through the mating hole. The bottom of the T-shaped rod passes through the mating hole and the positioning hole and extends into the interior of the connecting block.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the top crossbar of the T-shaped rod is fitted against the outer wall of the mounting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a stabilizing rod is fixedly connected between the upper and lower connecting rods.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects: The sliding installation of the partition components and mounting rods facilitates the adjustment of the position of the partition components, and allows for the addition or removal of partition components as needed. Since the two mounting rods are located on opposite sides of the left and right connecting rods, the use of the anti-crushing rod body will not be affected when adjusting the position. This allows for dynamic adjustment based on the size of the piglets, reducing the risk of piglets being crushed. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a suckling anti-compression bar device to prevent piglets from being crushed, including a fence 1. Inside the fence 1, two support frames 2 are fixedly installed by fasteners. Inside the two support frames 2, two connecting rods 3 are fixedly connected. The top of the two lower connecting rods 3 is rotatably installed with an anti-compression bar body 4. The opposite sides of the two lower connecting rods 3 are fixedly connected with mounting rods 5. Several partition components 6 are slidably installed on the outer walls of the two mounting rods 5. All partition components 6 include partition rods 601, partition plates 602, and connecting blocks 603. There are two partition rods 601, which are welded to the partition plates 602 as a whole. The connecting block 603 is welded to the partition rod 601 on the side closest to the mounting rod 5. The connecting block 603 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the corresponding side mounting rod 5. The side of the connecting block 603 closest to the mounting rod 5 is U-shaped.

[0016] Both support frames 2 have bases at their bottoms, which can be installed with the fence 1 using fasteners. The fasteners are installed in an embedded manner to avoid scratching the piglets. The two connecting rods 3 together enhance the structural strength and stability of the support frame 2 during use. The distance between the upper connecting rod 3 and the lower connecting rod 3 is less than the width of the anti-pressure rod body 4. This allows the upper connecting rod 3 to protect the anti-pressure rod body 4 when it rotates outward, preventing the sow from suddenly and quickly lying down on her side or sitting down suddenly, which could crush the piglets. When in use, the sow will kneel down with her front legs first, then slowly adjust her hind legs, squat down with her whole body, and then lie down on her side, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of crushing piglets. When the sow gets up, she will lift up the anti-pressure rod body 4 without affecting the sow's ability to stand up. After the two separator rods 601 and the separator plate 602 are integrated, they form a door-like structure, which expands the vertical protection area and can more effectively prevent piglets from entering the danger zone from the side. Under the action of the U-shaped connecting block 603, it can cooperate with the outside of the mounting rod 5 like a clamp. When adjustment is needed, the breeder can manually push any separator component 6, and make it slide along the axis of the mounting rod 5 by moving the connecting block 603 to the left or right. As the size of the piglets changes, the spacing can be readjusted to provide them with a more suitable activity space.

[0017] The outer wall of the mounting rod 5 has several vertical positioning holes 7, which penetrate the mounting rod 5. The connecting block 603 is slidably installed with the mounting rod 5 through the positioning holes 7.

[0018] With this configuration, the connecting block 603 can be positioned and fixed to the mounting rod 5 through the positioning hole 7, thereby ensuring that after sliding adjustment, the position of the separating component 6 will not move due to the collision of piglets, resulting in some parts having very small distances and some parts having very large distances.

[0019] Furthermore, the connecting block 603 has a mating hole 604 inside. A T-shaped rod 605 is inserted into the top of the connecting block 603 through the mating hole 604. The bottom of the T-shaped rod 605 passes through the mating hole 604 and the positioning hole 7 and extends into the interior of the connecting block 603.

[0020] With this configuration, since part of the connecting block 603 is U-shaped, the mating hole 604 does not completely penetrate the U-shaped area, ensuring that the bottom of the T-shaped rod 605 can still enter the connecting block 603 after passing through the mating hole 604 and the positioning hole 7, thus ensuring the stability of the separator component 6 in the adjusted position.

[0021] Furthermore, the bottom of the top crossbar of the T-shaped rod 605 is fitted against the outer wall of the mounting rod 5.

[0022] This design reduces the number of sharp, exposed areas on the outside, thus preventing harm to piglets.

[0023] Furthermore, a stabilizing rod 8 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower connecting rods 3.

[0024] This design further enhances the stability of the installation area between the upper and lower connecting rods 3 and the anti-pressure rod body 4, preventing the anti-pressure rod body 4 from shifting due to collisions with the sow (the sow will frequently come into contact with the anti-pressure rod body 4 when she gets up or lies down).
