[0001] PIG feeding apparatus [0002]

More particularly, the present invention relates to a dietary feeder apparatus which is free of feed loss, reduces the effort for cleaning the remaining amount, and is easy to manage the pay for each period as well as hygienic .

In general, housing has two functions to streamline livestock management and protect livestock from natural weather. Therefore, the requirements of the house must be good in position, direction, ventilation, ventilation, warming, facilities suitable for feeding period, cleaning and hygiene.

The size and structure of the barn is largely classified into a monoculture system and a military system depending on the type and number of animals to be accommodated. The former is used when housing livestock for breeding and labor, and the latter is used when housing livestock or production livestock (such as finishing pigs, dairy cows).

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of houses of loose corn (formula) for the purpose of labor saving (labor saving) due to the spread of the soybean breeding.

The feedstock is continuously fed by housing the livestock for sowing, especially the sows (mother pig). The stall of the sows receiving the sows is fed from a floor It is difficult to feed a large amount of feed directly to the feed feeder in the delivery stall.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, a feed feeding apparatus which feeds feeds periodically regardless of the feed amount has been developed.

However, the conventional dietary feeding device has a problem in that the feed intake amount of the sows is limited because the feeding amount is uniformly determined by the manager's voluntary prediction.

In addition, if a small amount of feed is left in the feed feeder, it should be cleaned at all times. If the feed is left to be corrupted, the sow will not feed the feed, resulting in poor hygiene and cleanliness in the pig farm.

In addition, there was a disadvantage that the labor cost required to clean the remaining amount of feed was large.

In addition, there was waste due to the additional purchase of feeds because the new feeds had to be filled in place of the corrupt feed.

In the following description, it is described that the stomach is used only for the sow used by the sows. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to a normal pig. In other words, feed diets can be installed for general wages in addition to delivery stalls. However, for effective use, it is preferable to use it in a place separated by individuals rather than a place where several people gather.

As shown in FIG. 1, a stall 100 having a feedstock feeding device according to the present invention is installed in a longitudinal direction of the pythagorean symmetrically on the left and right sides of the work path, And is composed of a fence or partition which is welded and installed at a height higher than the bottom surface of the horizontal and vertical pipes.

In the poultry equipped with the delivery stall 100 as described above, the feed feeding apparatus according to the present invention is installed on both sides of the work passage.

The feeding device is a device for automatically feeding feed to each sow stocked in the delivery stall 100 from an automatic feed feed device 200 comprising an automated facility.

The feeding device is connected to each feeding stall 100 and connected to the automatic feed conveying pipe 210 which is a passage through which the feed is fed from a feed storage hopper (not shown) to temporarily store the feed. A feed mixer 20 installed at the lower end of the weighing and dispenser 10 for automatically controlling the amount of feeding the feed according to a command signal from the controller 50, And a feed inlet pipe (30) connected to the feed stall (100) to distribute the feed to the feed feed receptacle (110).

The automatic feed feed pipe 210 as the automatic feed feed device 200 includes an upper portion of a work path formed in the center of the poultry and is connected to the upper part of the delivery stall 100, In the transfer pipe 210, a disk wire (not shown) for receiving and transporting the feed is provided to feed the feed in the automatic feed transfer pipe 210 to the upper part of each delivery stall 100. The automatic feed feed device 200 is set by the control unit 50 so as to be automatically driven two to three times a day.

As shown in FIG. 2, the weighing tiller 10 is a storage means for temporarily storing feeds transferred to the upper portion of the delivery stall 100, and stores 5 L to 13 L of feed And a lid part 12 provided at the upper end of the main body part 11 and including a through hole 12a penetrated to feed the food.

At this time, the main body 11 is preferably made of a transparent material so as to identify the amount of stored feed and the state of the feed.

2 and 3, the feed mixer 20 includes a distributor body 21 having a hollow hole 21a formed therein and a motor driver 22 driven by a command signal of the controller 50 The distributor body 21 includes a rotation shaft 21b connected to the motor driving unit 22 and installed across the center of the hollow hole 21a, And a plurality of semicylindrical rotary vanes 21c spaced apart from each other and opening and closing the hollow holes 21a in accordance with the rotation of the rotary shaft 21b.

Here, the motor driving unit 22 may be provided with a speed reducer (not shown) capable of controlling the rotation speed of the rotation shaft 21b.

In addition, the motor driving unit 22 sets the rotation angle of the rotary shaft and whether the motor (not shown) is driven by the control unit 50 so that the feed can be fed to the feed hopper 110 by a predetermined amount (about 200 g).

However, when it is desired to increase or decrease the amount of fed feed, it is preferable to adjust the amount of rotation of the rotary shaft through the control unit 50 so as to be administered to the feed hopper 110 by a predetermined amount.

4, the feed feed apparatus of the present invention includes a feed feeder 200 for feeding feed, a water feeder 300 for feeding water, a feeder 200 and the water feeder 300, 70b, 70c, and 70d that are provided in sows and include various kinds of sow information such as age, weight, and the like, and transmit the RFID tags 70a, 70b, 70c, and 70d, And an RFID reader 60 supplied with sow information from the sows 70a and 70d.

Here, RFID is a technology for transmitting and receiving information using radio frequencies from an electronic tag attached to an object and providing related services.

As shown in FIG. 4, the RFID system includes an RFID reader and an RFID tag. The RFID reader includes an internal or external antenna. The RFID reader transmits an active signal generated from the antenna, Field. When the RFID tag enters the RF field, the RFID tag receives the activation signal transmitted from the antenna of the RFID reader, and transmits the information stored in the tag to the RFID using the received activation signal. Then, the RFID reader receives and analyzes the information transmitted from the RFID tag to acquire the unique information of the article equipped with the RFID tag.

There are two types of RFID tags: active tags with built-in batteries depending on the built-in battery, and passive tags that obtain energy sources within the radio range.

An active tag has a built-in battery in the tag, and transmits a radio frequency (RF) signal according to a pre-stored time interval while the battery is being maintained. A passive tag is composed of an antenna, a coil, and a chip. When a tag is inserted in an electromagnetic field range emitted from a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, that is, a radio frequency (RF) field, The induction voltage of the AC is generated in the antenna coil of the tag. The passive tag rectifies the induced voltage to direct current (DC) and uses it as a power source necessary for the chip. The chip in the tag operates when a certain voltage is applied. From this moment, the data stored in the memory unit, that is, unique information, is transmitted to the RFID reader.

Therefore, the RFID tags 70a, 70b, 70c, and 70d may be passive tags. This is because the RFID tags 70a, 70b, 70c and 70d are attached to sows and used, and the sows can be saved only in the stall, thereby saving the battery.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing how a dietary feeder according to the present invention determines feed fed to sows using RFID.

A control method of controlling the amount of feed supplied to the sows will be described below with reference to FIG.

(S100) for recognizing an individual ID of each sow due to the RFID tags (70a, 70b, 70c, 70d) provided in the sow.

And an age confirmation step (S200) of recognizing the sow's ID after recognizing the sow ID in the entity ID recognition step (S100).

The method may further include a step S300 of checking the weight of the sows in the RFID tag provided in the sow after confirming the age of the sows in the age checking step S200.

In other words, the age and weight of the sows can be confirmed by the RFID tag.

And an age and weight value determination step (S400) for determining whether the age and the weight value are the same on the database. In the age and weight value determination step (S400), a standard weight according to the age of sows may be provided as a look-up table. Accordingly, the data transmitted from the RFID tag can be compared with the look-up table to determine whether the sow's age and weight correspond to each other.

If the age and weight value of the sows are equal to each other in the step of determining age and weight (S400), the control unit 50 determines the standard feed amount in step S410, ).

If the body weight of the sows is higher or lower than the age of the sows, it is necessary to reduce or increase the amount of fed feed. Therefore, the control unit 50 may control the feed amount in the control amount determination step (S430).

Feed quantities determined in the controlled feed amount determination step (S410) and the standard feed amount determination step (S430) are stored in the database in the data storage step (S500).

Fig. 6 is a flow chart showing the adjustment of the feed amount.

Referring to FIG. 6, the control method will be described. First, in step S100, the entity ID can be recognized using the RFID tag provided in sows.

After recognizing the sow ID in the entity ID recognition step S100, the feed amount determination step S600 may compare the feed amount stored in the data storage step S500 with the day feed amount as shown in FIG. have.

If it is determined in step S600 that the amount of feed is equal to the previous day's feed amount and the same day feed amount, the process ends. If the previous day feed amount is different from the current day feed amount, a feed amount adjustment step (S650) .

The step of controlling the feed amount (S650) further has an effect that the amount of next day feed can be more easily controlled on the basis of the data of the previous day feed amount and the same day feed amount.
