Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a feeding device for livestock.

(b) Conventional technology In conventional conventional pig feeders, the front part of the feeder is divided into a feeding chamber and the rear part is divided into a feed chamber by a partition plate, and a gap is provided between the lower part of the partition plate and the bottom plate of the feed tank. The gap is used as the feed outflow opening from the feed chamber, and the feed outflow opening is opened and closed by vertically moving up and down on the feed chamber side of the feed outflow opening, that is, the lower back surface of the partition plate, and the feed is transferred from the feed chamber to the feeding tank. It has a structure in which a regulating plate is installed to regulate the amount of outflow. However, with this structure, if the adjustment plate is even slightly open, the pig will stick its snout or tongue into the lower part of the feed chamber and scatter or lick the feed. Then, the feed in the lower part of the feed chamber gets wet with saliva and breath, hardens the feed, and prevents the feed from flowing into the feed tank from the outflow opening, and the wet and contaminated feed generates harmful substances such as mold. This can cause problems such as poor growth of pigs and damage to their health. Therefore, a feed scraping prevention device was devised in which a protrusion was formed on the feed tank side at the bottom of the adjustment plate so that the protrusion would get in the way when the pig was eating and would not be able to insert its snout into the bottom of the feed chamber. There is.

(c) The problem that the idea aims to solve and the means to solve it.

Even with the above-mentioned feed scraping prevention device, when the adjustment plate is opened small, the protrusion hits the tip of the pig's snout, but when the adjustment plate is opened wide, the tongue touches the bottom of the feed chamber. or the tip of the nose may no longer touch the protrusion. In this invention, regardless of the opening of the adjustment plate, pigs are prevented from inserting their snouts or tongues into the lower part of the feed chamber.
At the lower part of the feeding chamber, at a position corresponding to the front surface of the adjustment plate, a rod is fixed to both side plates of the feeder and is stretched between the two side plates. A nose pad is attached to the bottom of the feeding tank and a nose plate that forms the feed outflow opening.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a side view of an embodiment of the pig feeder according to the present invention (a side view of the feeder with the side plate on the near side of the figure removed). FIG. 2 is a reduced front view thereof, and is shown in a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. The feeding device 1 is partitioned into a feeding chamber 3 at the front and a feeding chamber 4 at the rear by a partition plate 2 which is attached from the front upper part of the feeding device 1 at an angle to the rear. The partition plate 2 has a vertical plate 6 at the bottom of an upper inclined plate 5, similar to the conventional feeder partition plate, and two rods (pipes in the figure) 7 are attached to the bottom of the vertical plate 6.
are fixed to both side plates 11 of the feeder 1 and installed horizontally. A pig's nose plate (an arc plate in the embodiment) 8 is fixed to the front side of the bar 7, that is, on the side of the feeding chamber 2, and between the lower part of the nose plate 8 and the bottom of the feeding tank 9, there is a hole from the feed chamber 4. A feed outlet 10 is formed.

And the upper handle 12 is on the back of the vertical plate 6.
The above-mentioned feed outlet 10 is moved up and down by the rotation operation of
A feed outflow rate regulating device 14 is provided which includes a regulating plate 13 that opens and closes. That is, the feed outflow amount adjusting device 14 has an outer cylinder 1 on the upper rear side of the vertical plate 6 of the partition plate 2.
5 is fixed, and an upper handle 12 is mounted inside the outer cylinder 15.
A vertical plate 6 of the partition plate 2 is installed at the bottom of the vertical plate 16, which is raised and lowered by the rotation of the vertical plate 16.
An adjustment plate 13 is attached that moves up and down along. Reference numeral 17 indicates a vertical movement guide member for the adjustment plate 13 attached to the side plates 11 of the feeder 1, and 18 (shown by dotted lines in FIG. 1) is a dividing frame for each animal in the feeding chamber. In the above embodiment, the nose pad plate 8 is provided in each section of the feeding chamber 3, but one nose pad plate 8 may be installed horizontally through the feeding chamber 3.

Next, a side view of another embodiment of FIG. 3 is shown. This embodiment is a feeder having an open structure in which the feeding chamber 3 on the front side of the partition plate 2 is open, and like the feeder in the first embodiment, two rods 7 are placed on the lower front side of the partition plate 2. Both ends are fixed to both side plates 11 of the feeder, and an arcuate nose pad 8 is attached to the bar 7 so as to protrude toward the feeding tank 9 side. The lower part of the adjustment plate 13 is a connecting rod 1 attached to the lower part of the lifting rod 16 of the feed outflow amount adjustment device 14.
9 and can be opened and closed vertically.

Still other embodiments are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Figure 4 is a side view similar to Figure 1, and Figure 5 is B- of Figure 4.
It is a reduced scale front view of the feeder shown in cross section B. This embodiment relates to a feeder 1 in which the front partition plate of the feed chamber 4 is omitted and the feed outflow rate adjusting plate 13 completely covers the area from the bottom of the feed tank 9 to the top of the feed chamber 4. Two rods 7 are placed horizontally on the lower front part of the plate 13 in the same manner as in each of the above embodiments, and an arcuate nose pad 8 is attached thereto. 20 is the side plate 1 of the feeder 1
1 is a front guide angle member of the adjustment plate 13, and 21 is a rear guide angle member. Adjustment plate 1
3 is held at the middle part of its back by a connecting rod 22 fixed to the lifting rod 16 of the feed outflow rate regulating device 14.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the nose pad plate 8 is not provided in each section of the feeding chamber 3 for one pig, but is provided as a nose pad plate 8 that extends through all the sections.

Functions and Effects of the Invention In the pig feeder according to the present invention, a curved plate (nose pad plate 8) is installed in a protruding manner just above the feed outflow opening 10 from the feed chamber 4 in the feeding tank 9. When the pig puts its mouth (tip of the nose) into the feeding tank when feeding the pig, the nose part of the pig comes into contact with the nose patch plate 8 (when the pig is feeding, the pig's head is placed in the first place).
(shown in Figure P), even when the adjustment plate 13 is open, the pig will not be able to insert its snout into the feed chamber 4 to the lower part.
