Description

DK 173045 B1 - Opfindelsen angår et trug til fodring af dyr, så som svin, kvæg, får, heste, hjorte, m.m., frilands eller i løsdriftsstalde. Foderet kan bestå af melfoder, piller, fuldfoder m.m..The invention relates to a trough for feeding animals, such as pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, deer, etc., outdoors or in stables. The feed can consist of flour, pills, whole feed etc.

Multi-truget er forsynet med en skråplade på bagkanten, og en standplade til dyrene foran truget. I skråpladen er der tilkoblet vandnipler til selvvanding.The multi-trough is provided with an inclined plate on the trailing edge, and a stand for the animals in front of the trough. In the oblique plate, water nipples for self irrigation are connected.

5 Multi-truget kan eksempelvis anbringes i indhegningen hos dyrene langs det elektriske hegn.For example, the multi-trough may be placed in the enclosure of the animals along the electric fence.

Multi-trugets dimensioner afhænger af, hvilke dyr der skal benytte truget.The dimensions of the multi-trough depend on which animals to use the trough.

Flere Muhi-trug kan hægtes sammen til én enhed.Multiple Muhi troughs can be connected together into one unit.

10 Problemerne ved kendte fodertrug er et uforholdsmæssigt stort foderspild, der opstår i forbindelse med foderpåfyldning af truget. De kendte trug skal fikseres mekanisk til underlaget eller andet fast emne, for at dyrene ikke er i stand til at flytte med truget og evt. vælte det. De kendte trug er derfor ikke velegnede til løsdrift og frilandsproduktion, hvor fodertrugene gerne flyttes jævnlig af landmanden.10 The problems of known feed troughs are a disproportionate feed waste that occurs in connection with feed loading of the trough. The known troughs must be mechanically fixed to the substrate or other solid material so that the animals are unable to move with the trough and possibly. overturn it. The known troughs are therefore not suitable for loose farming and outdoor production, where the feed troughs are regularly moved by the farmer.

15 T U.S. Patent nr. 4, 653, 431 er beskrevet et trug, der er alene beregnet til individuel fodring. Trugets udformning vanskeliggør påfyldning af foder og medfører et stort foderspild, idet dyret vil stikke hovedet op og genere påfyldningen. Trugets udformning vanskeliggør desuden rationel og maskinel foderpåfyldning. Truget er desuden uegnet til 20 løsdrift og frilandsproduktion, idet dets udformning kræver et plant grundlag og fiksering for ikke at vælte. Vandingen foregår manuelt.U.S.A. Patent Nos. 4, 653, 431 disclose a trough intended solely for individual feeding. The shape of the trough makes feeding difficult and causes a great waste of food, as the animal will raise its head and bother the filling. The design of the trough also makes rational and machine feed filling difficult. The trough is also unsuitable for 20 loose drift and outdoor production, as its design requires a flat foundation and fixation so as not to overturn. The irrigation is done manually.

I Patentschrift DE 25 36 365 C2 er beskrevet et trug, der kræver store konstruktive foranstaltninger for at være stabilt, hvilket betyder, at det er uegnet til frilandsbrug. Den 25 viste påfyldningsmekanisme med fordelingshjul vi! ikke kunne fungere udendørs p.g.a. vejrliget.Patentschrift DE 25 36 365 C2 discloses a trough that requires major constructive measures to be stable, which means that it is unsuitable for outdoor use. The 25 shown filling mechanism with distribution wheels we! could not work outdoors because weather.

Formålet med foreliggende opfindelsen er at undgå eller mindske de nævnte ulemper.The object of the present invention is to avoid or reduce the disadvantages mentioned.

30 Ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse er der tilvejebragt et trug, der adskiller sig fra kendte trug ved at trugets skrå bagkant, der har en forudbestemt højde afhængig af, hvilken dyreart truget tænkes fremstillet til gør, at dyrene ikke generer tilførsel af foder i truget.According to the present invention there is provided a trough which differs from known troughs in that the sloping trailing edge of the trough has a predetermined height depending on which animal species the trough is thought to have made to prevent the animals from feeding feed into the trough.

Den skrå bagkant løser problemet med påfyldning af foder. Det kan foregå maskinelt, idet en doseringsmaskine med foder køres parallelt med trugets længderetning mens påfyldning foretages. Ved stordrift vil denne påfyldningsmetode betyde en stor 5 arbejdsbesparelse.The sloping trailing edge solves the problem of feed loading. This can be done mechanically, with a feed dosing machine running parallel to the longitudinal direction of the trough while filling. By economical operation, this filling method will result in a large 5 work savings.

Der er tilvejebragt en langstrakt skridningsstabil plade, der strækker sig fra trugets forkant til en forudbestemt mindsteafstand fra truget afhængig af, hvilken dyreart truget tænkes fremstillet til. Ved indtagelse af foder ved truget vil dyrene være placeret på den 10 langstrakte skridningsstabile plade, hvorved de alene med deres egenvægt gør truget stabilt.An elongated slip-resistant plate is provided which extends from the front of the trough to a predetermined minimum distance from the trough, depending on which animal species the trough is intended to be made for. Upon ingestion of feed by the trough, the animals will be placed on the 10 elongated slip-stable plate, thereby making the trough stable only with their own weight.

Ifølge opfindelsen kan der i truget indbygges et vandingssystem bestående af et vandrør på bagsiden af skråpladen. Med forudbestemte mellemrum er der boret gennem 15 skråpladen og påmonteret selwandingsnipler alt efter hvilken dyreart truget tænkes fremstillet til.According to the invention, an irrigation system consisting of a water pipe can be built into the back of the inclined plate. At predetermined intervals, the drill plate is drilled through and the cell irrigation nipples fitted according to which animal species the trough is thought to be made for.

Truget kan ubesværet flyttes, idet der ikke foretages mekanisk fastgørelse, fordi trugets stabilitet alene frembringes ved påvirkning af dyrenes egenvægt på den langstrakte 20 skridningsstabile plade.The trough can be moved effortlessly without mechanical attachment because the trough's stability is produced solely by the effect of the animals' weight on the elongated skid-stable plate.

Skråpladen ved trugets bagkant med en forudbestemt hældning, sikrer at foderet glider ned i truget, uanset om påfyldningen sker manuelt eller med doseringsmaskine.The bevel plate at the rear of the trough with a predetermined slope ensures that the feed slides into the trough, whether the filling is done manually or with the dosing machine.

25 Ved opfindelsen tilvejebringes et selvvandingsanlæg på skråpladen, monteret med vandnipler, hvorfra dyrene efter behov kan drikke vand til foderet. Selvvandingsanlægget består af et vandrør, der er monteret på bagsiden af skråpladen, hvorigennem der er boret huller med forudbestemt mellemrum til placering af selwandingsnipleme.The invention provides a self-irrigation system on the inclined plate, fitted with water nipples, from which the animals can drink water to the feed as needed. The self-irrigation system consists of a water pipe mounted on the back of the inclined plate, through which holes are drilled at predetermined intervals for placement of the cell irrigation nipples.

Ved opfindelsen er tilvejebragt et trug forsynet med skridsikker standplade i hele trugets 30 længderetning placeret ved trugets forkant, således dyrene ikke kan flytte med truget.The invention provides a trough provided with non-slip stand throughout the longitudinal direction of the trough 30 located at the leading edge of the trough so that the animals cannot move with the trough.

Standpladens længde varier afhængig af, hvilke dyr der skal benytte truget.The length of the stand varies depending on which animals use the trough.
