Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic feeding and watering method and apparatus for dividing a day's worth of feed and water for pigs into Mfi times and automatically feeding them into the same feed tank. .

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As a conventional method of feeding pigs, powdered feed is stirred and mixed with water in a tank, the flow rate is set to rA, and the feed is fed to a feed tank in a pig stall using a pump.

As a device to achieve this kind of feeding method,
-29881 publication, Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-22491,
There are those described in Special Publication Jl 1845-37463.

However, with the above method, the powdered feed remains in the pipeline and rots, which is not good for hygiene but also hinders the growth of the pigs. A method is adopted that allows pigs to eat and drink freely.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, if powdered feed and water are supplied separately and pigs are allowed to eat and drink freely, the amount of water consumed by the pigs is high in the summer and less in the winter, but overall the amount of water consumed is 2 to 2 times the amount of powdered feed. 5F! ! Unfortunately, I started drinking too much water. It is known that even in the height of summer, when the amount of water supplied to pigs is equal to the amount of powdered feed, the feeding effect is good and the weight gain and life expectancy are good for pigs. This method has the drawback of not only decreasing the feed efficiency but also increasing the amount of wastewater. Furthermore, since the pigs are fed as powdered feed for feeding, there is a lot of airborne dust in the house, which causes many respiratory diseases, etc., which reduces the efficiency of pig farming.

This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned situation II, and aims to overcome the above-mentioned problems of the prior art by providing a novel feeding and water supply method and a device for the same in place of the above-mentioned conventional technology. Means for Solving the Problems The automatic feeding and watering method of the first invention will be explained using FIG. 1 corresponding to an embodiment. Then, the step of simultaneously supplying powdered feed and water and the step of supplying the amount of water are alternately set in advance by a timer from the powder feed automatic metering supply device A and the water metering automatic supply device B to the same feed tank 20. Be sure to automatically supply powdered food and water.

Further, the automatic feeding and watering device of the second invention is a device for carrying out the method of the first invention, which comprises: - an automatic fixed-quantity supplying device for powdered food that automatically supplies a batch of powdered food to a feeding tank; - It is composed of an automatic quantitative water supply device B that automatically supplies the amount of water per batch to the feed tank, and a timer that sets the operation timing of the automatic quantitative automatic supply device for powdered bait and the automatic quantitative automatic supply device for water.

The action timer is programmed in advance to alternately execute a stage of simultaneously supplying powdered bait and water and a stage of supplying only water at specific time intervals.

When the timer setting time reaches the time to supply powder bait and water at the same time, a signal from the timer activates the discharge slave of the powder bait fixed area automatic supply device A, and the simultaneous pressurized water quantitative automatic supply device B is also activated. , divide the daily amount of feed and water required for pig farming into multiple times, and make sure that the amount of powdered feed and water for each time is the same in feed tank 2.
0. When the supply is finished, the powder bait quantitative automatic supply device A and the water quantitative automatic supply device B are prepared for the next supply.

Thereafter, when the stage comes to supply only water after a predetermined period of time, only the water metering automatic supply device B operates.

Such an action is automatically repeated a predetermined number of times a day.Examples The apparatus and method of the present invention will be described below as illustrated in FIGS. 8g1 to 3.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the apparatus of the present invention. In the same figure, l
1 is a conveyor consisting of an auger conveying device, which supplies powdered bait to the powdered bait measuring box 7 from a powdered bait supply hopper (not shown). 2 is an auger drive motor. The powder feed measuring box 7 is a well-known device installed in each pig stall, and has a drop vibrator 3 and an adjusting vibrator 4 on the supply side, and a rope on the discharge side by an appropriate driving means controlled by a timer. It has an opening/closing plate 5 that is opened by pulling the pig pen 6, and the discharge side thereof has a chute 8 that supplies powdered feed to a feed tank 20 provided in the pig stall.
is connected to. Powder bait quantitative automatic feeding device f
ItLA is configured.

Next, the automatic quantitative water supply device BK will be explained. Water supply 1
The water supply tank 10 that is continuously supplied to the tank 1 is equipped with a float valve or level switch that stops the water supply at a certain water level.
On the discharge side thereof, there is provided a water supply pipe 13 which has a main valve such as an electromagnetic valve 14 and supplies water to a water measuring tank 16 installed in each pig stall. The water metering tank 16 is connected to the water supply pipe 13 near its bottom by a flexible water supply connecting hose 15, and is installed so as to be movable up and down by appropriate means. Since the water metering tank 16 is connected to the water supply tank 10, its water head is always at the same level as the water supply tank 16.
b. Tank 16t - The amount of water can be changed by raising and lowering it. A pipe 17 having an electromagnetic valve 18 for supplying water to the feed tank 20 is connected to the discharge part of the water metering tank 16. Normally, the main valve 14 provided on the discharge side of the water supply tank is open and the discharge side valve 18Fi of the water metering tank 16 is closed, so water is stored in the water metering tank 16 at the same level as the water supply tank, 11/m. Ru. When water is supplied, the main valve 14 is closed and the valve 18 is opened to allow a set amount of water to flow into the feed tank.

When the water supply is finished, each valve returns to its original state and the water is stored again.

In the above configuration, the drive timing of the auger drive motor 2 opening/closing plate 5 and the electromagnetic valves 14 and 18 is determined by the timer 4.
0 and automatically driven.

Next, an example of timer setting will be described.

The feed-efficient water supply t for feeding 3 K9 powdered feed per day to a pig head is 2.5 @ 7.5 K4. Therefore,
Daily amount of powdered feed fed to a pig pen with 10 pigs Fi30K
g, and the water supply fik is 75 odor. If the water supply amount is divided into 6 times, the water supply amount per time will be 12.5 Kf. If the amount of divided food and water is equal, the number of feedings will be 2 to 3 times. If water is supplied six times every three hours, water supply will be completed in 18 hours. Powdered food is fed three times every other time during water supply. Figure 3 shows how the timer was set based on the above premise. At the time of suction, 41 is a feeding setting board, 42 is a watering setting board, and feeding is done at 6 o'clock, 12 o'clock,
Water supply at 6:00, 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00,
Each time is set at 21:00.

Therefore, in the above embodiment, at 6 o'clock, for example, the rope drive means is activated by a signal from the timer device to open the opening/closing plate 5 via the rope 6, and the powder bait stored in the powder bait weighing box 7 is removed. A batch of powdered bait is supplied to the feed tank 20 via the chute 8. At the same time, the electromagnetic valve 14 on the drain side of the water supply tank is closed, and the electromagnetic valve 18 on the discharge side of the water metering tank IG is opened, and the amount of water stored in the water metering tank 16 is supplied to the feed N20. As described above, powdered feed and water are simultaneously supplied to the feed tank and mixed together within the feed tank.

When the supply of powdered bait is finished, the opening/closing plate 5 automatically closes, and at the same time, the auger drive motor 2 is activated to supply the powdered bait in the powdered bait supply hopper to the powdered bait measuring box 7. When the amount of powdered bait for one meal is stored, the drive motor 2 stops. Similarly, when the water supply is finished, the electromagnetic valve 18 is closed and the electromagnetic valve 14 is opened, so that the water in the water supply tank flows out into the water metering tank 16. At the same time, the float valve in the water tank operates to supply water until the amount of water in the water tank becomes constant. Therefore, the amount of water for one time is stored in the water metering tank.

At 9 o'clock, only the water metering automatic supply device operates as described above to supply only water into the feed tank. Feeding and watering are then repeated in the same manner.

In addition, the powder bait quantitative automatic feeding device is similar to that of the above example.
Various devices can be used, such as a hopper that measures and stores the weight t of powdered bait for one serving.

The automatic metering water supply device may be configured to directly supply water to the feed tank using a metering pump, and is not limited to the above embodiment.

Effects Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the present invention has the following remarkable effects.

(1) Since feed can be divided automatically, the size of the feed tank can be reduced, and since water and feeding are carried out alternately, there is no food left in the feed tank, making it sanitary.

(11) Since an appropriate amount of water can be obtained, feed efficiency is high and the fattening period can be significantly shortened. Urine sewage can also be reduced.

qll) Since powdered feed is mixed with water in the feed tank, it is hygienic as there is no emulsified feed remaining in the pipes as in the conventional method, and it does not generate floating dust in the house, reducing respiratory illnesses. be able to.

Therefore, the human labor required for feeding and watering can be significantly reduced.

M The water metering tank allows you to change the amount of water supplied for just $1c by simply adjusting its position up or down 1c.

6/D Since powdered bait and water are supplied in fixed amounts using separate devices, the entire device can be constructed simply and easily.

(The vlo device can be installed in series in each pig stall, so the feed amount and lockstitch can be set arbitrarily depending on the number of pigs in each stall, growth period, and season, and the feeding and watering time can also be set arbitrarily. can be set by a timer.
