BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a feeding device, and more particularly to a pig feeding device that separates a drinking part and a feeding part so that a pig can feed without mixing food and water.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a pig feeding device that includes a feed tank, a feed supply pipe, a feeding tank, and a water supply device, and feeds the feed from the feed supply pipe to the bottom of the feeding tank and the feed receiving plate of the feeding tank (for example, actual fairness). No. 5-36370, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-50854). In these conventional ones, the feed supply pipe is installed with a gap from the bottom of the tank, and the feed is discharged from the gap to feed it, or the feed feed pipe is a flat plate with a predetermined gap below the feed supply pipe. A receiving plate is installed and discharged on the food receiving plate, and the staying food on the food receiving plate is dropped into the feeding tank directly while the pig is feeding or by swirling the feed supply pipe. And forage in water. That is, even if it has a food receiving plate, it is hardly fed on the food receiving plate, so that the drinking portion and the feeding portion are in the same state.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Among the conventional feeding devices, the pipe swinging type has a drawback that the feeding pigs directly under the pipe are difficult to feed, so that the feeding is only at the outer periphery of the pipe and the old food tends to stay in the lower part of the pipe. In order to feed the bait directly under the pipe, it is only necessary to increase the rocking width of the pipe. However, if the rocking width is increased, a large amount of food will be accumulated on the opposite side of the foraging part, causing another inconvenience. . On the other hand, the pipe-fixed type has a drawback that the bait directly under the pipe cannot be fed if the distance between the pipe lower end and the bait receiving plate is small. Therefore, in order to feed the bait directly below the pipe, the interval between the bait receiving plate and the bait receiving plate must be increased. In the feeder which has an apparatus, there exists a fault which becomes the cause which discharge feed becomes submerged in accumulated water.
[0004]
Conventionally, it is considered that the feed in which the feed is wet and wet is easier for pigs to eat, and the feed discharged from the feed storage tank falls into the feeding tank and is mixed with the water in the feeding tank. However, if the feed is always mixed with water, the intake of water increases and the intake of the feed decreases, which may affect growth. In addition, wet feed is good, but there is also a drawback that pigs have poor palatability for feed that has been submerged or solidified in a dango state, causing leftovers and waste of feed. And if it is left as it is, it also causes corruption.
[0005]
The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems of the conventional feeding device, by dropping an appropriate amount of feed from the feed supply pipe to the feed receiving shelf, and without the feed staying directly under the feed supply pipe. The food discharged to the food tray can be efficiently collected on the food tray, the feed and water can be collected separately, the feed efficiency is high, and the residual food is not spoiled. It aims at providing a feeding device with little.
[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1: has shown sectional drawing in the state which installed the feeding apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention in the middle of an animal partition. The feeding device 1 of this embodiment is an example of application to a two-headed mouth where two pigs can be fed side by side in the pig bunches on both sides, and a hopper-like feed tank 2 for storing feed, and the lower part of the tank The feed supply pipe 3 rotatably supported by the opening of the feed, the feeding shelf 4 provided immediately below the feed supply pipe, and the drinking water portion 5 provided at a position lower than the feeding shelf are integrated. The tank 6 and the water feeder 7 are mounted on the main body frame 8. In the present embodiment, the main body frame 8 is composed of a support column 26 and a fence-like frame 27 supported by the support column. The support column 9 is also used as a support column of the animal partition 25, and the feed tank 2 and the feeding tank 6 are used as the support column. And the fence-shaped frame 27 partitions the center of the space between the feed tank 2 and the feed tank 6, and also serves as a support for the rocking prevention ring 24 of the water supply pipe and the feed supply pipe as will be described later. .
[0009]
The feed supply pipe 3 is supported so that its upper end is loosely fitted to the outside of the outlet 10 of the feed tank 2 and is rotatable and vertically movable. The support structure is such that the feed supply pipe 3 is supported on a support shaft 14 that passes through the shaft center thereof via a rotation support portion 16, and a screw rod 15 fixed to the upper end of the support shaft is installed in the feed tank 2. It is screwed into the threaded pipe 13 of the adjusting handle 12 supported by the supported support frame 11. The rotation support portion 16 can employ any appropriate means. In this embodiment, the support shaft 14 is provided with a flange 18, and a support ring 19 locked to the flange is supported by an arm 20 extending from the inner peripheral wall of the feed supply pipe. By placing the ring 19 on the flange 18, the support bar rotatably supports the feed supply pipe 3, and by rotating the adjustment handle 12, the feed supply pipe 3 also moves up and down as the screw bar 15 moves up and down. It comes to move. A gap between the lower end edge of the feed supply pipe 3 and the surface of the feeding shelf 4 forms a feed discharge port 17, and by operating the adjustment handle 12, the opening amount of the feed discharge port 17 can be arbitrarily adjusted. . The support shaft 14 is formed with an upward protrusion 29 that engages with the support ring 19 so that when the pig operates the feed supply pipe with the nose, the feed supply pipe 3 does not rise indefinitely. There is a slight gap between the support ring 19 and the anti-raising projection 29, and the feed feed pipe 3 can be slightly moved up and down with respect to the support shaft 14.
[0010]
Reference numeral 21 denotes a guide means for guiding the feed supply pipe 3 so as to be rotatable and vertically movable with respect to the support bar 14, and the guide means smoothly moves the feed supply pipe without swinging with respect to the support bar. Can be adjusted up and down. Reference numerals 22 and 23 denote swing regulating means provided to prevent the feed supply pipe 3 from swinging with respect to the main body frame. As shown in FIG. It is configured to support a split ring that is loosely fitted to the outer periphery of the pipe.
[0011]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the feeding tank 6 is formed with a feeding shelf 4 at the center in the width direction so as to face the lower side of the feed supply pipe, and with drinking portions 5 at lower positions on both sides thereof. Thus, it is molded separately from a metal plate or synthetic resin and fixed to the support column 9. The forage rack 4 is provided with a conical bait retention preventing projection 30 immediately below the feed supply pipe 3 so that the food dropped from the feed supply pipe can be easily fed out to the outer periphery of the feed supply pipe. Moreover, the peripheral part of the food receiving shelf 4 forms a small drop-preventing ridge 31 on both sides of the boundary with the drinking water unit 5, and the food falls into the drinking water unit 5 while feeding the feed discharged to the feeding shelf. Is preventing.
[0012]
The drinking parts 5 on both sides are respectively installed toward the bottom surface of the drinking part so that the water supply port of the water feeder 7 is positioned lower than the feeding shelf surface. This prevents the water supplied from the water feeder 7 from being applied to the food on the foraging shelf, and prevents the accumulated water from being raised above the foraging shelf surface and the feed being submerged. In addition, by arranging the water supply port at a position lower than the feeding shelf surface and reducing the distance from the bottom surface of the drinking water section 5, the operation of the water supply becomes difficult, and the pigs are mischievous and excessive. Water supply can be prevented. As shown in the figure, the water feeder 7 is provided at the lower end of the water supply pipe 32 arranged on the fence-like frame 27 of the main body frame, and the pipe socket 33 is provided at the upper end of the water supply pipe so that the water supply is arranged in the piggery. It can be connected to the tube. One water dispenser 7 is provided at approximately the center of the drinking section on both sides, and the pig can be operated from the pig bunches on both sides.
[0013]
The feeding device of the present embodiment is configured as described above, and can be fed simultaneously from the slaughterhouses on both sides by being installed between slaughterhouse partitions. In that case, since the space part between a feed tank and a feeding tank is partitioned off by the fence-like frame, it can feed for the pigs of both domestic animals without being disturbed during feeding. In the feeding apparatus of the present embodiment, the feed supplied to the feed tank 2 falls into the feed supply pipe 3 via the outflow port 10 and is received by the feeding shelf 4 below the feed supply pipe 3, so that the balance is dynamically achieved. Discharge stops in the removed state and accumulates on the foraging shelf. Accordingly, it is possible to control the outflow of food on the foraging shelf by the size of the gap between the upper surface of the foraging shelf 4 and the lower end of the feed supply pipe 3. In the present embodiment, when the adjustment handle 12 is turned, the support bar 14 is moved up and down by the screw action of the screw pipe 13 and the screw bar 15, and the feed supply pipe 3 is also moved up and down through the rotation support portion 16. The amount of opening of the bait outlet can be adjusted. The feed feed pipe 3 is lifted by the flange 18 of the rotation support portion pushing up the support ring provided on the feed feed pipe, while the drop is lowered by the flange 18 supporting the support ring 19 being lowered. The feed supply pipe is lowered by its own weight or by a lifting stop projection 29 provided on the support shaft 14.
[0014]
Since the feed discharged from the feed supply pipe 3 onto the feeding shelf has a conical food retention prevention convex portion 30 directly under the feed supply pipe, it is discharged along the convex portion from directly under the feed supply pipe to the outer peripheral portion. To do. Therefore, since the feed does not stay immediately below the feed supply pipe, the pig can directly feed all the feed that has flowed out on the feeding shelf, and the fresh feed can be fed in the discharge order. In addition, when the pig rotates the feed supply pipe with the nose, the feed at the feed outlet 17 is stirred, so that the feed outlet becomes clogged even if the food near the feed outlet becomes wet due to the nasal breath of the pig. The feed can be fed out to the feeding shelf without any problem. Moreover, since the fall prevention protrusion 31 exists in the circumference | surroundings of a feeding shelf, there are few food spills from a feeding shelf, and a pig can feed the dry food from a feeding shelf efficiently. And by pushing the water supply 7, water flows out into the drinking part 5, and only water can be drunk in an appropriate amount. At that time, the water outlet of the water feeder is on the lower side of the feeding shelf, so that the water spouted from the water feeder will not be applied to the food on the feeding shelf, and keep the food on the feeding shelf dry. Can do.
[0015]
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various design change is possible within the range of the technical idea. For example, in the above embodiment, it is installed in the middle of the partition between the zoos so that food can be fed from the slaughterhouses on both sides. Also good. In the case of a feeding device to be installed in a domestic animal, it is not necessary to provide the fence-like frame, and the pig can be freely fed from the surroundings. Moreover, even if it is a case where it provides in the partition part between zoos, you may form a main body flame | frame and a partition between slaughterhouses separately. Furthermore, although the case of the two-headed-mouth feeding apparatus was demonstrated in the said embodiment, it cannot be overemphasized that the feeding apparatus of this invention is applicable not only to the two-headed mouth but to the feeding system of one head mouth or a multi-head mouth. In the case of one head mouth, in the feeding apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the tank may be downsized, and the drinking part of the tank may be provided only on one side of the feeding shelf. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the feed supply pipe is a rotary type. However, the feed supply pipe may not be necessarily a rotary type, but may be installed so as to be swingable or vibrate so as to prevent the discharge port from being clogged. Furthermore, although it is not desirable, it can be fixed.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above and has the following special effects.
According to the feeding apparatus of the present invention, since the feed retention preventing convex portion is provided in the feeding shelf so as to be located immediately below the feed supply pipe, the feed flowing out from the feed supply pipe is below the feed supply pipe. It is easy to flow out, and there is no stagnation of food in the lower part of the pipe, so that new food can be always supplied and food can be efficiently fed without waste. And since it is not necessary to rock a feed supply pipe largely, a feeding apparatus can be comprised compactly. In addition, the tank is divided separately into a feeding shelf that is a feeding part and a drinking part, and the food that has fallen from the feed supply pipe is received by the feeding shelf and is fed on the feeding shelf, Pigs can always eat fresh and dry food, and feed efficiency can be increased without overdrinking water compared to conventional feeding of food and water in a mixed state.
[0017]
Furthermore, according to the structure of Claim 2, according to the form of a feed or according to the growth degree, the number of heads, etc. of a pig, the amount of feed discharge to a feeding shelf can be adjusted easily. Further, according to the configuration of claim 3, since the feeding device can be installed in the middle of the partition between the zoos and fed from the slaughterhouses on both sides, it is possible to feed two zoos with one feeding device, saving space and equipment. Cost can be reduced.
