[0001] The present invention relates to a pig feeder suitable for feeding pigs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In all conventional feeders for pig raising, the diameter of the lower part of the feeding tank is gradually reduced or narrowed. And the feed may not be discharged from the feed port at the lower end of the feed tank. In addition, in the case where a stirrer is provided in the feed tank to promote the fall of the feed, it is possible to prevent the feed from being bridged to a considerable extent, but a power source is required and the feed in the feed tank is required. Cleaning was troublesome.

In order to solve such a problem, as shown in FIG. 4, a feeding tank 102 whose diameter is gradually reduced downward and whose lower end portion has a cylindrical shape is provided. A movable rod 106 is provided by being inserted into a support rod 105 erected at the upper end of the wall 104, a rear end portion is fixed to an intermediate portion of the movable rod 106, and a U-shaped support member 107 extending forward is provided. The feeding tank 102 is provided at the tip of the support member 107 by a pin 108.
A pig feeder 101 supporting an intermediate portion of the pig feeder has been developed. In addition, the pig feeder 101 has a rear end portion of a feed stand 1.
03 is fixed to the rear wall portion 104, and the annular portion 109a is provided with a swing regulating member 109 in which the lower end of the feed tub 102 is positioned, reaches the lower end of the feed tub 102, and has a U-shaped lower half. Bridge preventing rod 11 having a plurality of agitating members 110a fixed thereto
0 is provided.

In the pig feeder 101, when the pig presses the lower end of the feed tank 102 with its nose and mouth, the feed tank 10
2 swings back and forth with the pin 108 as a fulcrum, the bait in the feed tank 102 vibrates and is discharged from the lower end opening 102a to the bottom plate 111 of the bait receiving tray 103. Feeding tank 1
Since 02 swings back and forth, the food in the feed tank 102 is agitated by the bridge prevention rod 110, and does not form a bridge.

[0005]

However, in the pig feeder 101, since the feed tank 102 is supported by the pins 108, the support of the feed tank 102 is unstable. , The pin 108 or the support member 107 is easily damaged. Therefore, it was necessary to provide the feeding tank protection member 112 so that the pig could not give an impact to the feeding tank 102. Further, since the feeding tank 102 is supported by the pins 108, the weight of the feeding tank 102 and the stored food is concentrated on the pins 108 and the supporting members 107, and the pins 108 and the supporting members 107 are quickly worn.

[0006] Since the intermediate portion of the feeding tub 102 is supported by the pins 108, when the feeding tub 102 swings, the lower end of the feeding tub 102 tilts backward and stops, and cannot return to the home position. May not be discharged from the lower end opening 102a. Further, the bait is discharged from the gap between the lower end opening 102a of the feeding tank 102 and the raised portion 111a of the bottom plate portion 111. However, since the raised portion 111a is flat and the gap is small, the raised portion is Bottom plate part 1 around 111a
The food also flows to 11 and mixes with water to coagulate.
02a was sometimes blocked.

Further, in order to prevent the bait in the feed tank 102 from being bridged, it is necessary to provide a bridge preventing rod 110, a support member 107, a pin 108, a swing regulating member 109, and a feed tank protecting member. Because of the large number of parts such as 112, there is also a problem that manufacturing costs are high.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and even if a pig gives an impact to a feeding tank, the support member is not easily damaged, and the feeding tank and the housing are not damaged. An object of the present invention is to provide a pig feeder in which the supporting member is not worn out early even by the weight of the bait. In addition, the lower end of the feeding tank always returns to the home position, the bait does not solidify and does not block the lower opening, and the bait is always discharged well from the lower opening. It is another object of the present invention to provide a pig feeder that can prevent the bait inside from becoming bridge-shaped, and that has a small number of parts and a low production cost.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a pig feeder according to the present invention comprises a feed tank body whose diameter is gradually reduced downward and a rocking body whose diameter is gradually expanded downward. A state in which a feeding tank is provided, a lower end of a support rod of a feed amount adjusting mechanism hanging down from an upper end of the feeding tank main body is fixed to the rocking body, and a lower end of the feeding tank main body is inserted into an upper end of the rocking body.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3A, the arm rod portion 23b of the hook-shaped bent rod 23 is rotated downward to be in a hanging state, so that the arm rod portion 23b is inserted into the notch portion 19b of the locking plate 19. The holding member 21 is positioned so that the gripping member 21 does not rotate without permission even if the pig vigorously rocks the rocking body 4 with its nose, mouth, or the like.

In the pig feeder 1 of the present invention, the food in the feed tank main body 3 flows down into the rocking body 4, flows along the conical portion 16a of the food discharge guide member 16, and is connected to the food discharge port 4a. The fluid is smoothly discharged from the gap between the disc-shaped portion 16b and the disc-shaped portion 1b.
An appropriate amount is deposited on 6b. When the bait in the disc-shaped portion 16b decreases, the bait in the feed tank main body 3 is sequentially discharged by its own weight, and an appropriate amount is deposited on the disc-shaped portion 16b. When the pig pokes its nose and mouth into the bottom plate portion 13 and presses the nose and mouth against the rocking body 4 as shown in FIG. 2, the rocking body 4 moves forward, backward, left and right using the head 17a of the bolt 17 as a fulcrum.

Support plate 14 and vertical support plate 1 in which
5, the supporting member is not damaged easily even if the pig gives an impact to the feeding tank body 3 because it is supported more firmly and stably. In addition, since the weight of the feed tank main body 3 and the stored bait is applied to the entire bait cradle 9, the support member does not wear out early.

Since the oscillating body 4 oscillates with the head 17a of the bolt 17, ie, the upper end of the feed tank main body 3, as a fulcrum, the oscillating body 4 does not incline backward and stop, and cannot return to the home position. The bait is always smoothly discharged from the bait outlet 4a. Further, the bait discharge guide member 16 is fixed on the raised portion 13a of the bottom plate portion 13 so that a proper amount of bait is deposited on the disc-shaped portion 16b from the bait discharge port 4a, so that the bait is mixed with water. It does not solidify and does not block the feed outlet 4a. Furthermore, the rocking body 4 is gradually expanded in diameter downward, and the lower end of the feed tank main body 3 is inserted into the upper end of the rocking body 4, and the upper end of the rocking body 4 is the lower end of the feeder body 3. And the food in the feed tank main body 3 is vibrated, so that the food in the feed tank main body 3 does not form a bridge.

With the above configuration and operation, there is no need to provide a bridge preventing rod, a swing regulating member, a feed tank protection member, and the like unlike the conventional pig feeder 101, so that the number of parts is greatly reduced, and The cost is also reduced.
