2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, pig production technology has been required to reduce the ratio of feed cost, which accounts for 70% of pork production cost, and various attempts have been made. After weaning, the period from weaning to shipment as a beef pig is shortened as much as possible, and in order to achieve the purpose with the minimum supply of feed, the pig is supplied with feed only at a specific time, It has been confirmed that the feeding method in which the feeding of the feed is stopped at the time of is effective in the feeding.

Also, although water is usually supplied indefinitely,
It is known that, when adopting the above feeding method, supplying water near the feed at the time of feeding the feed, that is, at the time of feeding, works more effectively for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the feed.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] According to a predetermined feeding time and feeding amount, the objective can be achieved in an easy and reliable manner, and it becomes possible to supply water and to feed water. It is useful for the pig farming industry to provide a feeder that can suspend feeding to animals. Furthermore, the feeder should be simple in construction, easy to handle, robust in construction and durable for long-term use.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a feeder which, when reaching a pre-planned feeding time, puts the pig in a state where it can be fed, and at other times, stops feeding the feed accurately. It is to provide drinking water, and if necessary, the water supply device for supplying drinking water makes it possible to drink drinking water only during the feeding time.

The feed reaches the feeder 3 via the feed guide tube 21 by the appropriate conveying means 2. The feeder 3 is externally configured with a lattice frame 5 fixed to the dish 4 and a storage tube 6 supported by the lattice frame 5 and retained above the dish 4, so that the dish 4 can be appropriately used. If the feeding device 3 is fixed to the breeding floor 1 through the means, the feeding device 3 does not easily move on the breeding floor 1 even when pushed by the pig, and the feed guiding pipe 21 is prevented from deviating from the storage cylinder 6. To do.

FIG. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A grid frame 5 is attached and fixed to the dish 4 fixed to the breeding floor 1. The lattice frame 5 is configured by radially arranging partition members 51 that divide the circumference of the plate 4 into a plurality of partitions. By setting the size of each compartment sufficient for the pig to insert its head, a plurality of pigs can be arranged radially for one feeder 3 without interfering with each other, and other feeding can be performed. Prevent being hindered by the pigs.

At the center of the lattice frame 5, a ring 52 sized to fit the outer periphery of the storage cylinder 6 is fixed to the partition member 51 and is arranged above the dish 4, and the storage cylinder 6 has this ring. Since it is fixed to 52, it is stably fixed to the upper center of the dish 4. A crossbar 71 for supporting the components described below is fixedly installed inside the storage cylinder 6, and the crossbar 7 is provided.
The bearing 81 is fixed to the center of 1. The shaft 8 is fitted in the center of the bearing 81 so as to be vertically slidable and rotatable. At the lower end of the shaft 8, a plurality of rod-shaped members 82 for contacting the pig when the pig is fed and rotating the shaft 8 are fixedly contacted.

The screen plate 7 is fitted on the crossbar 71 so as to be rotatable coaxially with the shaft 8. The said screen plate 7, than the constituent particles of feed to be supplied to at least pigs large-diameter hole is a plurality puncture hole, corresponding to the mounting position of Dantsu diving pin 72, to plunge pin 72 is engaged A hole having a sufficient size is drilled. Directly above the screen plate 7, a pin holder fixedly engaged with the screen plate 7 or provided with a jump-in pin 72 that is detached from the screen plate 7 without engaging with the screen plate 7 is fixedly contacted with the shaft 8. 73 is arranged. The pin holder 73
Are fixedly attached to the shaft 8, the paragraph [001
By the clutch means 89 described in 2), the screen plate 7 and the jump-in pin 72 can be selectively engaged with each other by being vertically moved.

A clutch lever 84 having a clutch means 89 arranged on the upper end portion of the shaft 8 immediately above the pin holder 73 has one end supported by a bracket 85 provided on the inner wall of the storage cylinder 6 and the other end actuated. It is movably connected to an actuating rod 83 which is connected to the means 80. Furthermore, the clutch lever 8
The middle of 4 is configured like a frame as in the embodiment shown in FIG.
A boss 86 is arranged inside thereof, the shaft 8 penetrates the center of the boss 86, and the boss 86 is suspended and supported by the clutch lever 84 via a pin 87. The upper end of the shaft 8 is above the boss 86, and the shaft 8 is prevented from deviating from the boss 86 by a nut 88, for example.

Pigs are housed in a pig house A equipped with the feeder 3 having the structure described above, and the feed means stores the feed in the storage cylinder 6. At this time, the operating rod 80 is operated by the operating means 80.
3 is moved upward, and as a result, the clutch lever 84
Is in the state shown in FIG. 3, and the jumping pin 72 must be released from the engagement relationship with the screen plate 7. When the feed is stored in the storage cylinder 6, the weight of the feed pushes the screen plate 7 downward to contact the upper end surface of the bearing 81 to receive frictional resistance, and further, the dive pin 72.
The pig inserted his head into the dish 4,
Even when the shaft 8 is rotated by coming into contact with the rod-shaped member 82, the rotating action of the shaft 8 is not transmitted to the screen plate 7, and as long as this state is maintained, the feed is fed from the storage cylinder 6. It does not fall into the plate 4 and flow out. That is, above the respective hole that is puncture holes in the screen plate 7, feed hold the bridge phenomenon, diet is the never pass through the screen plate 7. That is, the screen plate 7
It will act as a "shield". This thing is
This is an important configuration of the present invention.

[0014] When the scheduled feeding time comes,
The actuation means 80 is operated to move the actuation rod 83 downward. As a result, it is easily understood that the clutch lever 84 is in the state shown in FIG. That is, jump pin 72 is put into the screen plate 7 to puncture holes have been corresponding engagement hole, the screen plate 7 and the shaft 8 will be keep engagement between. In this state, when the pig touches the rod-shaped member 82, the shaft 8 rotates, so that a rotational force greater than the frictional resistance between the screen plate 7 and the upper end surface of the bearing 81 is transmitted, and the screen plate 7 is rotated. A rotary movement similar to that of the shaft 8 is transmitted. By this rotation, the feed stored above the screen plate 7 is "cut out" by the many holes formed in the screen plate 7, falls into the dish 4, flows out, and is supplied to the pig. That is, at this time, the screen plate 7 functions as a "cutting device".

In order to operate the above-mentioned action in accordance with the scheduled feeding time, usually, a plurality of feeders 3 are provided in the pig house A.
Therefore, the operating means 80 of the individual feeders 3 are provided with an appropriate traction device (not shown) so that they can be operated collectively, and are linked with the operation of the carrier means 2. By doing so, when the feed is transported by the transport means 2,
The actuating means 80 is operated by the indexing device, and the dive pin 7
2 and the screen plate 7 are disengaged and the pig is rod-shaped.
Even if the shaft 8 rotates by touching the member 82, the screen
If the rotation is not transmitted to the plate 7 , the screen plate 7 is kept in a stopped state without rotating, so that the storage of the feed is easily promoted. When it is necessary to adjust the feed amount of feed in order to cope with the growing degree of pigs and the number of pigs that can be accommodated, a time switch (not shown) is incorporated in the traction device so that the screen plate 7 engages with the diving pins 72. This can be achieved by automatically controlling the time when the screens do not match and controlling the time when the screen plate 7 can rotate.

Further, the feeder 3 according to the present invention may be provided with a drinker 9 so that it is possible to drink water near the food at the time of eating in order to improve the efficiency of the feed. The above-mentioned feedable time, that is, the screen plate 7 and the dive pin 72
A water supply pipe 91 through which water can be passed only during a time period in which the engagement relationship is maintained is provided in each of the feeding devices 3. The water supply pipe 91 is
It is connected to an annular pipe 92 which is arranged and fixed to the outside of the storage cylinder 6 by a support 95. Branch pipes 93 are provided in the annular pipe 92 at positions corresponding to the number of sections of the lattice frame 5, and each branch pipe 9
Since the nipple 94 is attached to the tip of the pig 3, the pig can drink water as needed at the time of feeding.
