Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a feeder for raising pigs, and particularly to the structure of the feed tank.

(Prior art) In pig feeders, feed is supplied from the storage tank to the feeding tank by adjusting the opening amount of the feed outlet at the bottom of the storage tank with an adjustment plate, and allowing the food to flow out naturally by balancing the amount of feed remaining in the feed tank. I'm starting to do that. Therefore, the amount of bait remaining in the tank varies depending on the relative distance between the deepest part of the tank and the position where the bait flows out. BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, feed tanks for pig feeders having shapes as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 are known. As shown in FIG. 3, the feed tank 10 is formed so that the deepest part P is located at the lowered position of the adjustment plate 11. In that case,
Since the feed in the deepest part is obstructed by the adjustment plate 11 and difficult to eat, pigs have a habit of grinding up the feed in that part with their noses, which has the disadvantage that pelleted feed becomes finely powdered and feed efficiency deteriorates. be. In addition, since the deepest part is located at the feed outlet, there are disadvantages such as moisture in the feed tank penetrating into the storage tank. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
14, bait remains in the inner corner,
These baits have disadvantages such as easy adhesion and rotting of these baits. Furthermore, if the deepest part P is near the center of the feed tank 15 as shown in FIG. It is the cause.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention was devised to solve all of the above-mentioned problems with conventional feeders. To provide a pig feeder having a sanitary feeding tank capable of reducing the amount of retained feed to prevent spillage, reducing the amount of residual feed to prevent the feed from spoiling, and preventing moisture from entering the storage tank. The purpose is to

(Means for solving the problem) As a result of various studies to solve the above problem, it was found that the bottom plate and front plate of the feed tank are continuously curved without having a bent part, and the position of the deepest part is We have discovered that the above problems can be solved by making appropriate selections, and have arrived at the present invention.

That is, the pig feeder of the present invention achieves the above purpose,
In a pig feeder in which a storage tank and a feed tank are separated by a front plate and an adjustment plate, the feed tank is formed by bending a rounded plate curved to approximately the same radius from the lower rear position of the back plate at the lowering and closing position of the adjustment plate. This problem was solved by forming the deepest part of the feed tank at a position of 1/5 to 1/4 of the depth of the feed tank in front of the bending position.

If the deepest part of the feed tank is located close to the front edge of the feed tank, there will be a large difference in height from the outlet and a large amount of food will accumulate in the feed tank, while if it is close to the outlet, it will be difficult to feed sufficiently. In order to eliminate both drawbacks, it is necessary to form the deepest part of the feed tank so that it is located within the range of 1/5 to 1/4 of the depth D of the feed tank forward from the feed outlet.

(Function) The feed in the storage tank flows out into the feed tank according to the opening amount of the feed outlet, but in the pig feeder of the present invention, the deepest position of the feed tank is 1/5 to 1/4 of the feed tank depth D. By locating the feeder within the range of 200 to 3000, excessive feed is prevented from flowing into the feed tank, and there is little accumulation of feed, which reduces the chance of food spilling. In addition, the deepest feed is located in a position where the pig's nose can feed without being obstructed by the control board, so it is difficult to feed as in the past, and the pelleted feed must be ground into a fine powder by grinding with the nose. This phenomenon also decreases. Furthermore, since the outlet is located far away from the deepest part, there is less chance of water in the feed tank penetrating into the storage tank.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the pig feeder according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of the main parts of an embodiment of the feeder of the present invention. Although not shown, the main body 1 is formed into a box shape, and a storage tank is provided in the upper part, similar to the conventional pig feeder. 2 is provided with a feed tank 3 at the bottom. A front plate 4 is provided on the front surface of the storage tank 2, and an adjustment plate 5 is provided along the front plate so as to be vertically adjustable.
The feed tank 3 is constructed by extending the lower part of the back plate to the front surface of the feeder, and its shape is as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. A wide rounded plate 7 curved with approximately the same radius up to the point is bent at the descending closing position 9 where the adjustment plate 5 descends, and the deepest part P of the feed tank is 1/5 to 1/5 of the feed tank depth D from the bent position. It is configured to be located within a 1/4D range. Therefore, the feed tank 3 has a curvature that is approximately the same as that of the inclined portion 8 of the back plate, and is continuously formed in a curved line through the adjusting plate lowering and closing position 9, the deepest part P of the feed tank, and the front surface of the feed tank.

As a result, the front of the feed tank stands up, forming a front plate of the feed tank, and a feed tank with a constant depth can be easily constructed.

(Effects) As described above, in the pig feeder of the present invention, the deepest position of the feed tank is selected at a position where the optimum amount of feed can stay in the feed tank and is easy to feed. The bait does not accumulate in excess and there is little chance of spillage of the bait. In addition, the pigs can feed at the deepest level without their noses being obstructed by the adjustment plate.
The conventional phenomenon of grinding the deepest part of the feed into a fine powder by grinding it with the nose can also be reduced, increasing feed efficiency. In addition, since the outlet is located far from the deepest part, there is little chance of water in the feed tank penetrating into the storage tank. Furthermore, since there are no bent parts, it is possible to prevent food from remaining in those parts and rotting. Moreover, the present invention has many excellent advantages, such as easy manufacturing processing.
