Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a feeding device for pigs, etc., which allows livestock such as pigs to obtain food for themselves.

(Prior Art) Feeding devices are known that allow livestock such as pigs to freely take out the feed when they want to eat it. For example, its structure is shown in FIG.

At the bottom of the guide tube 2 in which the bait is stored, in order to bend the path of the bait falling inside the guide tube 2, a guide tube extends from each of the opposing inner wall surfaces of the guide tube at different heights in the direction of the mutually opposing inner wall surfaces. Partition plates 3 and 4 are provided. The tips of the partitions 3 and 4 overlap with each other with a gap between them, and during this time, a pushing member 5 moves and pushes out the bait accumulated in the gap so as to narrow the gap between it and the partition plate 3 above. It is provided.

When a pig or the like presses the pressing plate 7 with its nose, the pushing member 5 rotates around the shaft 6, pushing the bait outward and causing it to fall.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the feeding device described above, since the amount of movement of the pushing member 5 is determined, the amount of feed to be discharged is determined.
For this reason, it is difficult to supply the amount according to the growth period of pigs, etc.

Further, depending on the type of feed, it is necessary to increase or decrease the amount of feed, but this cannot be adjusted with the above-mentioned feeding device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a feeding device for pigs, etc., which can adjust the amount of food discharged when the pigs, etc. take out the food themselves.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes the following configuration.

That is, the partition plates are extended from each of the opposing inner wall surfaces of the frame body that guides the bait in the direction of the mutually opposing inner wall surfaces at different heights, and the lower partition plate is raised at the tip, and the two partition plates are The tips of the plates overlap each other with a gap between them, and are arranged facing the tips of the upper partition plate with a gap between them, and are centered around a rotating shaft placed above the lower partition plate. A discharge plate is provided, the lower end of which rotates in an arc toward the tip of the lower partition plate along the upper surface of the lower partition plate, causing the bait on the lower partition plate to fall downward from the gap between the upper and lower partition plates, A pressing member is provided that is suspended outside the frame body from a rotating shaft opposite to the discharge plate, and rotates the discharge plate in the circular arc when a livestock such as a pig presses it with its nose, and when it rotates, it hits the pressing member. The present invention is characterized in that the frame is provided with an adjustment member that is in contact with the member and adjusts the rotation angle of the pressing member in multiple stages.

The adjustment member is an eccentric rotatable disk member, and the amount of the adjustment member protruding from the protruding side edge of the partition plate below the side surface to which the discharge plate is pivoted can be changed in multiple stages. good.

(effect) Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

The feed stored between the overlapping ends of the two partitions is discharged when livestock such as pigs press the pressing material, causing the discharge plate to approach the top of the upper partition. .

Note that the discharge amount can also be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the pressing member using the adjustment member.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a side view of the feeding device, Figure 2 is a rear view,
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal mechanism, and FIG. 4 is a side view showing the feeding device of the present invention attached to a food storage tank.

The feeding device of the present invention is connected to a discharge port 52 of a storage tank 50 in which food is stored. This storage tank 50 is supported by a support frame 54, and a bait plate 56 is arranged below the discharge port 52. Also,
The back side of the support frame 54 is covered with a side plate 60 (see FIG. 4).

Here, the feeding device will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The entire feeding device 10 is formed into a substantially rectangular cylindrical frame. The opposing side plates 10A, 10A are formed into a trapezoid shape with a narrower bottom, and the rear edge 1
0b hangs down vertically, and the front end edge 10a hangs down at an angle.

The rear edge 10b is covered from the upper part to the middle part with the back plate 10B, and a notch 18 is formed in the lower part. On the other hand, the lower part of the front edges 10a, 10a is covered with a top plate 10C. Partition plates 12 and 14 extend facing each other downward from the upper edge of the back plate 10B and upward from the upper edge of the front plate 10C, respectively.

The tips 12a and 14a of the two partition plates 12 and 14 are placed in an overlapping position with an interval A in between so that the bait entering from above does not leak.

An opening 16 is formed above the base of the partition plate 14 . A shielding member 19 is fixed to the upper edge of the opening 16. Also, the side plate 1 of the opening 16
A shaft 22 is pivotally attached to the upper part of 0A and 10A, and two bent bait pushing members 24 are fixed to this shaft 22 so as to straddle the shaft 22.

The extrusion member 24 includes a discharge plate 24A located inside and closing the opening 16, and a plate-shaped pressing member 24B covering the opening 16 from the outside. The pressing member 24B is formed wider than the guide frame 10, and a stopper rod 26 bent into a U-shape is fixed to the back surface of the pressing member 24B. Then, the parallel portion 2 of the stopper rod 26 parallel to the pressing member 24B
6a is located in the notch 18 at the lower end of the guide frame 10. And the parallel part 26 of the stopper rod 26
a is held in contact with the upright edge 18a of the notch 18. That is, due to the weight of the pressing member 24B of the extrusion member 24 and the stopper rod 26,
The entire push-out member 24 is held in a state in which it touches the upright edge 18a of the notch 18 as it attempts to rotate in the hour hand direction about the shaft 22.

On the other hand, livestock such as pigs press the pressing member 24
When B is pushed in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 3, the pressing member 24B rotates until it touches the edge of the side plates 10A, 10A, which is the maximum rotation width. In addition,
An adjustment plate 30 for adjusting the rotation width is provided on one side plate 10A.

A screw shaft 32 provided on the side plate 10A passes through substantially the center of the adjustment plate 30. This screw shaft 32
A bolt 34 is screwed into the top of the. A spring 36 is disposed between the bolt 34 and the adjusting plate 30, and constantly presses the adjusting plate 30 in the direction of the side plate 10A.

so that the lengths from the axis of the adjustment plate 30 are different,
Five adjustment parts l, m, n, o, p are formed. Each adjustment part is located at approximately equal intervals, and the adjustment plate 30
The distance from the center of the adjustment section l is gradually shortened from the adjustment section I toward the counterclockwise direction of the hour hand.

Note that p is the shortest distance from the axis, and the side plate 1
The pressing member 24B can freely move without protruding from the front edge 10a of 0A. The other adjustment portions 1 to 0 have respective upright pieces 38 at their tips.

In addition, a recess 29 corresponding to each of the adjustment parts l to p is formed on the surface of the adjustment plate 30 that contacts the side plate 10A, and one protrusion that fits into the recess is protruded from the side plate 10A. Therefore, the adjustment plate 30 is positioned by engaging the adjustment portions l to p with the projections and recesses at the adjustment positions where the adjustment portions l to p protrude from the front edge 10a of the front surface.
Note that due to the biasing force of the spring 36, the adjustment plate 3
A state of engagement between the concave and convex portions of 0 is maintained.

In addition, mounting plates 40, 40 for attaching to the storage tank 50 from the upper edge of the side plates 10A, 10A.
is provided.

Next, in this example, the feeding state of food will be explained.

(a) The state shown in Figure 3 is the state before feeding. The powdered or granular feed stuck in the storage tank 50 leaks downward from between the partition plate 12 and the discharge plate 24A of the feeding device 10, and
The partition plate 14 and the discharge plate 24A which are inclined are prevented from falling. That is, since the bait outlet (interval A) is small, the bait does not leak out due to the resistance of the bait.

(b) Here, when a pig or the like pushes the pressing member 24B in the direction of arrow B in the top of FIG. Then, the pressing member 24B rotates until it comes into contact with the upright piece 38 of the adjustment portion l that is discharged from the front edge 10a of the side plate 10A (moves to the position shown by the dashed line in FIG. 1).

(c) Then, the tip 24a of the discharge plate 24A of the pressing member 24 rotates in an arc along the partition plate 14. At this time, the amount of bait pushed by the discharge plate 24A falls from the tip 14a of the partition plate 14 (third
(see figure). Then, the bait falls onto a tray 56 located below the storage tank 50, and the pigs and the like eat this fallen bait.

(d) When the force pushing the pressing part 24B of the pushing member 24 is released, it returns to its original position due to the weight of the pressing member 24 and the stopper rod 26 and the weight of the bait in the guide frame 10. Then, again, as shown in (a), the bait falls from the storage tank 50 and is held there.

In addition, for pigs, etc., press the pressing material 24B as many times as necessary.
Press to eat the food that has fallen onto the plate 56.

Further, by rotating the adjustment plate 30, the angle at which the pressing member 24 rotates can be adjusted by each of the adjustment parts l to p.

This adjustment is performed by reducing the rotation angle of the pressing member 24 when it is better not to feed a large amount due to the nature of the bait, and by reducing the rotation angle of the pressing member 24 when it is better to feed a large amount.
The rotation angle should be increased. It is also possible to make adjustments according to the growing season. Furthermore, when reducing the amount of feed for overweight pigs, etc., the pressing member 24
You can also adjust the amount of rotation to a smaller value to avoid eating too much.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Of course, many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

(Effects of the invention) As described above regarding the invention, the amount of bait discharged can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the extrusion member. For this reason, depending on the growth status of pigs, etc.
You can change the amount of food. Moreover, the discharge amount can be changed depending on the type of bait.

For this reason, there is an effect that the bait is not wasted by scattering the excess bait or spilling the food.
