Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (b) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a feeding device for pig farming.

(B) Conventional technology A conventional general pig feeder is divided approximately in the center by a partition plate, the front part of the partition plate is divided into a feeding chamber, the rear part is divided into a feed chamber, and the bottom of the feeder is divided by a bottom plate. The cross section is shaped like a ship's bottom, and the front part, ie, the lower part of the feeding chamber, serves as a feeding tank, and the rear part serves as the inclined bottom plate of the feeding chamber. A gap is provided between the lower part of the partition plate and the bottom plate of the feed tank, and the gap is used as an outlet for the feed from the feed chamber to the feed tank. A control plate is provided to open and close the outlet and adjust the amount of feed flowing out from the feed chamber to the feeding tank.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional feeder described above, although the opening and closing of the feed outlet to the feed tank is controlled by a control plate, the time when the pig starts and ends feeding is constantly monitored. In addition, the pigs in the pigpen do not start and stop feeding at the same time, and each time the control plate is opened and closed, it is necessary to open and close the control plate. It is also quite difficult to feed the pigs (if there are any leftovers in the area, the pigs will drool and
Avoid getting it wet with external infections, causing it to get dirty or rotting, which will inhibit the growth of the pigs and pose a sanitary problem.

Also, leftover feed in the feeding tank can be scraped out of the feeder, resulting in a large amount of wasted feed.

(d) Means for solving the problem The feeder is divided into a feeding chamber and a feed chamber, and an adjustment plate device is attached.A cover plate is provided on the back of the partition plate to cover the adjustment plate device, and the lower part of the cover plate is attached to the rear side. In addition, an operating rod is provided in the gap between the cover plate and the adjustment plate, the tip of which protrudes from the front surface thereof, and forms a horizontal horizontal bar protruding from the middle part of the feeding tank in front of the adjustment plate. A feed cutoff plate that moves up and down is provided, and the feed cutoff plate is provided for each pig.

(E) When working pigs stick their necks into the food tank of the feeder when feeding, they have a habit of picking up foreign objects if they hit the top of their snouts, and pushing them if they hit the bottom. When the horizontal horizontal bar at the front end of the actuating rod attached to the feed cut-off plate hits the upper part of the nose, the feed cut-off plate rises and the feed chamber slope bottom plate, which was stopped by the feed cut-off plate, is lifted up. The feed flows down into the feed tank from the bottom of the adjustment plate. While the pigs are eating the feed that has fallen into the feed tank, or when they have finished eating, the actuating rod of the feed top plate is not raised, so no feed flows into the feed tank.

(F) Example A cross-sectional view of an example of the pig feeder according to the present invention is shown in FIG. A sectional front view taken along line AA is shown in FIG. 2 (FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 2).

A partition plate 2 that slopes rearward from the upper front of the feeder 1 and hangs down in the middle of the feeder 1'' divides the front part into a feeding chamber 3.
The rear part is divided into a feed chamber 4, and the lower part is a bottom plate 5 with a ship's bottom shape in cross section. It is assumed to be the flow outlet 6. The bottom plate 5 is connected to the feed tank 7 in front of the feed outlet 6.
The rear part forms the inclined bottom plate 8 of the feed chamber 4. Further, on the back side of the vertical plate 2a, there is provided a feed flow rate adjusting plate 10 which is slid up and down by a handle device 9 attached to the partition plate 2 to open and close the feed flow port 6. Reference numeral 11 denotes a partition plate that partitions the feeding chamber 3 and the feeding tank 7 into a width suitable for one pig. The above structure is similar to the conventional pig feeder described above.

In the feeder according to the present invention, a cover plate 12 is provided on the back side of the vertical plate 2a of the partition plate 2 to cover the adjustment plate 10 and its vertical operating device. The lower part of the cover plate 12 is bent inward to form a feed drop opening 13 between it and the opposing inclined bottom plate 8 of the feed chamber. The adjustment plate 10 and the cover plate 12
A feed blocking plate 14 with a width for one pig, that is, one piece for each section of the partition plate 11 of the feeding tank 7, is inserted in the gap between the feeding tank 7 and the feeding tank 7 so as to be vertically slidable. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the relationship between the adjustment plate 10, the blocking plate 14, and the cover plate 12 as viewed from the back (feed chamber side). Reference numeral 17 designates a through hole drilled in the center of the cover plate 12 through which the outer tube 18 of the handle assembly @9 of the adjustment plate 10 passes. Similar to the cover plate 12, the lower part of the blocking plate 14 is bent rearward to form a swash plate 14a.
The lower surface of the feed chamber 4a contacts the inclined bottom plate 8 of the feed chamber to prevent the feed from flowing down. Further, an actuation rod 15 having a concave front shape and a 5-shaped side surface is attached to the front surface of the blocking plate 14.

The tip of the operating rod 15 forms a horizontal horizontal bar 16 in front of the adjustment plate 10 and in the middle of the feeding tank 7 (the part that hits the top of the pig's snout when it inserts its snout into the feeding tank 7). It is handrail shaped. In this way, the operating rod 15 is projected from the back side of the adjusting plate 10 into the feeding tank 7 on the front side, so the passage of the operating rod 15 of the means plate 14 at the lower part of the adjusting plate 10 has a groove 19 (not shown). 2 and 3) are provided.

(G) Effects of the Invention Since the pig feeder according to the present invention is constructed as described above, when eating, the pigs themselves open the blocking plate 14 that blocks the feed from flowing down to allow the feed to flow down. Once finished, feed will automatically stop flowing down. Therefore, by simply keeping the control plate for the amount of feed flowing down at a moderately constant opening according to the size of the pigs, leftover feed will not accumulate in the feed tank, and the operator will be constantly bothered by opening and closing the control plate. This also eliminates the waste of feed. In addition, a cover plate is placed directly above the cutoff plate that opens and closes the feed flow, and its lower part is slanted backwards to receive the feed in the feed chamber, so that the burden of feed on the feed cutoff plate is light. The blocking plate can be flipped up with little resistance so that even a piglet can easily flip it up.
