Description

{DEVICE FOR SUPPLYING PIG FEEDS}

The present invention relates to an automatic feeding device for feeding a fixed amount of feed, and more particularly, to an automatic feeding device for feeding a fixed amount of feed which can prevent feed from being trapped, .

Generally, livestock such as pigs, cows, dogs, etc. differ in the amount of feed consumed by each individual, and the amount of feed varies depending on the growth period, such as physique conditions and body weight, and an appropriate amount of feed is fed correspondingly. In particular, the amount of dietary feed varies considerably in the case of pigs depending on the initial or middle pregnancy period, terminal period, pre / post, non - lactation period, non - lactation period, and pregnancy waiting period.

Therefore, by controlling the weight by age, mountain discrimination and pregnancy period, it is possible to produce a lot of healthy piglets. For this purpose, an appropriate amount of feed and drinking water are artificially controlled.

Conventional prior art feed devices include a method of scraping feed accumulated on a flat plate with a scraper to fall into a feed support, or a method of feeding and feeding along a screw. However, feeding and feeding amounts of feed are uneven and inefficient.

As a prior art for solving such a problem, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2014-0090350 (filed on Jan. 17, 2013 and published on Jul. 17, 2014 (Hereinafter referred to as "prior art").

In the prior art, there is provided a feed device for feeding feed and drinking water, which feeds the feed stored in the feed storage container to the feed hopper through a lower feed feed pipe, wherein a door is coupled to a lower outlet of the feed hopper, And the feeding means is provided with a feeding means for supplying the feeding hopper to the feeding hopper with limited feeding of the feed in a fixed amount while the feeding means is rotated by the outer driving means.

However, the above-described prior art is expected to have the following problems.

First, since the conventional measuring cups are manufactured to have the same size or the same size as the upper and lower diameters of the cup, the feeds are stored in the feed storage container and stay for a certain period of time. So that the feed can not be supplied properly when the motor is rotated. Therefore, the feed amount of the feed is irregular and the feed amount of the feed can not be supplied precisely, resulting in a great loss in the productivity of the livestock .

In other words, the automatic feeding device feeds the amount of feed to the program at a certain time of day, so that the livestock must eat that amount. This is because the number of revolutions of the motor is calculated by the time of electricity sent to the motor, The amount of feed to be used is measured to set the feed-benefit program.

The feed inside the feed reservoir must be smoothly discharged downward, but the feed is placed on only the upper part of the feed reservoir and the feed motor is below the feed motor. As the drive motor can not discharge the feed and idles, the controller feeds the feed normally And no longer feeds at that time.

In such a case, the feed is not supplied until the manager knows the problem, and the livestock eventually becomes starvation. This problem causes the manager to periodically carry out the maintenance and inspection work, There is a problem that wastes manpower.

Secondly, since the amount of the feed stored in the feed reservoir of the conventional feed dosing device can not be adjusted, the feed reservoir must be filled up. Therefore, once the amount of the livestock ingested per day is small, There is a case that the filled food should be eaten for two days.

This is a disadvantage in that the feed can not be fed to the livestock, so that the feed is deteriorated due to the decrease of the intake or the moisture due to the temperature difference, so that the feed is deteriorated and hardened on the inner wall of the feed reservoir.

Thirdly, since there is no function of cleaning the inside of the feed reservoir of the conventional feed storage device, there is a disadvantage that harmful bacteria such as fungi reproduce and cause a lethal disease to the livestock.

This can cause fatalities in young piglets due to altered quality of milk in sows.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to disassemble and clean the feed reservoir from time to time, but it is impossible to construct.

Fourth, the drawback is that the driving motor can not clean the feed residue held in the opening / closing member that discharges the feed inside the feed reservoir to the feed support while the drive motor rotates.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following detailed description, only two embodiments of the present invention will be described in order to achieve the above-mentioned technical problems. And other embodiments which may be presented by the present invention are replaced by descriptions in the constitution of the present invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a view showing an automatic feeding device for feeding a beverage according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the feed automatic quantity feeding apparatus of the present invention is a unit that feeds the feed to the feed support 80 provided on the floor surface by a predetermined amount exactly, and includes a feed storage container 10, (14, 20) and feeder means (30).

The feed reservoir 10 has a cylindrical or square or polygonal shape with upper and lower ends open, and a space for storing feed is formed in the feed reservoir 10.

Preferably, the feed reservoir 10 gradually widens from the top to the bottom so that the outer surface of the feed reservoir 10 is tapered 10a, so that the feed can be discharged smoothly without stagnation.

That is, the feed stored in the feed storage vessel 10 remains in the feed storage vessel 10 for a predetermined period of time, and then fed to the feed support 80 at the feed time of the pig to feed the pig.

However, most of the feed reservoirs 10 have pipes having the same diameter at the upper and lower sides and are cut into a certain size to be used as a feed reservoir, or the shape of the upper portion is larger than that of the lower portion, .

Humidity in the house is high and the temperature difference is severe. In winter, the house is often closed to protect the livestock from the cold.

Also, the feed supplied to the feed storage vessel 10 flows from the large feed storage vessel outside the housing through the feed pipe 200 and is supplied to the feed storage vessel 10 inside the housing. At this time, Condensation occurs due to the temperature difference as it enters the inside of the warm house, and in particular, condensation does not smoothly enter the feed reservoir 10. That is, even if the feed unit 30 is properly operated under the feed reservoir 10, the feed is hardened and tangled with each other and can not be discharged downward. However, as in the present invention, if the upper portion of the feed reservoir 10 is narrower and wider as it goes downward, it is easier to descend naturally due to the weight of the feed itself even if there is condensation. This plays a large role in the smooth discharge of feed.

Particularly, when the structure of the feed reservoir 10 is formed so as to have a larger diameter from the upper part to the lower part as described above, the feed reservoir 10 can be installed inside the feed reservoir 10 It is possible to minimize the volume of the feed reservoir 10 because the feed reservoir 10 can be embedded in the feed reservoir 10 more easily.

The upper cap 14 constitutes an upper part of the feed reservoir 10 and a feed port 16 is formed at the lower end of the upper cap 14, And a feed pipe 200 for feeding the fed feed into the inner space 12 of the feed reservoir 10 through the feed port 16 is connected. At this time, the feed port 16 may be assembled inside the upper cap 14 in a separately manufactured state.

In the present invention, the upper cap 14 and the feed reservoir 10 are separately manufactured, but the upper end of the feed reservoir 10 is not assembled in a fitting manner, but the feed reservoir 10 is injection- The upper cap 14 may be integrally injection molded at the upper end of the feed reservoir 10.

The lower cap 20 is fitted in the lower end of the feed reservoir 10 and an outlet 22 for passing the feed stored in the internal space 12 of the feed reservoir 10 is formed therein , And a feed pipe (26) is connected to the discharge port (22) so that the feed passed through the discharge port is discharged to the lower feed support.

A water inflow prevention part 13 is further formed on the bottom surface of the bottom part of the feed reservoir 10 in which the bottom part 20 is inserted. Moisture from the outside is introduced into the space between the reservoirs 10 to prevent the feed from being solidified.

The feed supply means 30 constitutes a main constituent of the present invention and is means for feeding the feed stored in the feed storage vessel 10 to the feed support only through a discharge port 22 of the lower cap 20 .

FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional view showing the structure of the feeding means.

2, the feed supply unit 30 includes a drive motor 32 driven by a power supplied by a signal of a control unit (not shown), a drive motor 32 driven by the drive motor 32, And an opening / closing member (34) coupled to the lower cap (32a) and opening the outlet (22) while the outlet (22) of the lower cap (20) is closed.

The opening and closing member 34 includes a sleeve 38 and at least one blade 40 extending along the circumferential surface of the sleeve 38. A groove 38a is formed at the end of the sleeve 38, And the shaft of the drive motor described above is coupled to the groove 38a. The blade 40 is rotated in accordance with the rotation of the sleeve 38 while the end is folded on the inner surface of the discharge port 22 of the lower cap 20 to open the discharge port 22 of the lower cap 20, .

It is preferable that the opening and closing member 34 composed of the sleeve 38 and the blade 40 is formed of a material having an elastic force so as to be free from bending, The blade 40 is flexibly bent and then rotated to be engaged with feed pellets so as to stop the rotation of the blade 40 and stop the feed of the feed when the feed pellets are sandwiched between the feed pellets .

The length of the blade 40 may be greater than the radius of the discharge port 22 in a state where the blade 40 is formed of a material having elasticity so as to be freely bendable. The end 40a of the blade 40 which is in close contact with the inner surface of the discharge port 22 is guided to rotate in a partially folded state to prevent the remaining amount of feed from remaining on the inner surface of the discharge port 22, To prevent the feed from being hardly discharged due to hardening of the feed by cutting off moisture and moisture from the feed.

On the other hand, the opening and closing member 34 of the feed unit 30 configured as described above can be easily separated from the inside of the lower cap 20 to the outside as needed.

The remaining amount of feed remaining on the inner surfaces of the opening and closing member 34 and the discharge port 22 of the feed supply means 30 is corrupted by moisture and the like when the feed storage container 10 is empty because the animal stock is not stocked for a certain period of time. At this time, the opening and closing member 34, which is the feed supply means 30, must be removed before cleaning.

3, one side of the lower cap 20 is configured to be opened to form an opening 24, and the opening and closing of the opening / A groove 38a is formed at the end of the sleeve 38 of the member 34 and a groove 38a is formed in the groove 38a of the shaft 32a of the driving motor 32 fixed to the other side of the lower cap 20 by bolts And a coupling hole 39 is formed at the tip end of the sleeve 38. The coupling hole 39 is formed in a finishing cap 24 for covering the opening 24 of the lower cap 20 42).

In order to separate the opening and closing member 34 from the lower cap 20 for the purpose of cleaning, when the finishing cap 42 is rotated while being held by the hand and taken out in one direction, the sleeve 38 and / The shaft 32a of the driving motor 32 is separated from the inner discharge port 22 of the lower cap 20 by the opening and closing member 34 composed of the blade 40 provided at the outer diameter of the sleeve 38, So that it can be easily separated from the lower cap 20 to perform the cleaning operation.

The shaft 32a of the driving motor 32 and the groove 38a of the sleeve 38 may be formed to have a polygonal cross-sectional structure. This is because the power of the driving motor 32 is transmitted to the sleeve 38, So that the sleeve 38 can easily come out from the shaft 32a of the driving motor 32 during the separation operation.

On the other hand, a cleaning means (50) is further provided on an inner wall surface of the feed reservoir (10).

Usually, the inside wall surface of the feed storage container 10 is always pressed with feed dust, so that cleaning is not easy. To clean, remove the top cap (14) or bottom cap (20) and clean it, but this is not possible.

Therefore, the cleaning means 50 of the present invention can prevent the ring-type member from being pushed in the process of moving up and down with the ring-type member being in close contact with the inner wall surface of the feed reservoir 10, So that the feed dust can be removed.

At this time, the stopper 60 may be provided on the side surface of the feed reservoir 10 or on the upper cap 14 and the operation bar in addition to the lower cap 20.

The outer circumference of the elastic ring member 52 is formed with an acute portion and is elastically folded according to the difference in the upper and lower diameters of the feed reservoir 10 while being in close contact with the inner wall surface of the feed reservoir 10, So that the inner wall surface of the feed storage container 10 can be cleaned.

The stopper 60 includes a bolt 62 installed to penetrate the operation bar 56 and the lower cap 20 (or, if necessary, the side surface of the feed reservoir 10 or the upper cap 14) Is screwed on the outer diameter of the bolt (62), moves forward and backward along the outer diameter thread of the bolt (62) according to forward and reverse rotation, and presses the operation bar (56) against the lower cap (Not shown).

A bar type seating portion 58 is positioned at the center of the elastic ring member 52. An end of the seating portion 58 is fixed to the ring holder 54 and is connected to a feed amount adjusting tube 70 ) Will be supported.

The cleaning means 50 is operated by the manager when the operator operates the operation bar 56 with his hand up and down so that the elastic ring member 52 is in close contact with the inner wall surface of the feed reservoir 10, 10 to scrape off the feed attached to the inner wall surface.

The feed volume control tube 70 mounted on the seating portion 58 is also folded or unfolded according to the upward and downward movement of the operation bar and the feed volume control tube 70 So that the feed amount to be fed to the feed storage vessel 10 can be adjusted.

5B, the cleaning means 50 is constructed by forming the structure of the ring member 152, which is an indispensable constituent to be cleaned by being in contact with the inner wall surface of the feed reservoir 10, in the form of a ring by injection molding or using a band At this time, both end portions of the ring member 152 are formed with guide protrusions 152a at one end and guide grooves 152b at the other end for fitting the guide protrusions 152a in a slidable manner So that the ring member 152 can be expanded or contracted according to the difference between the upper and lower diameters of the food storage container 10.

Meanwhile, a feed storage volume control tube 70 is installed in the feed storage vessel 10.

In general, the amount of sows varies from time to time depending on the breeding season, and there are many times when feeds are supplied in a day. This is to produce healthy and strong piglets and at the same time improve sowing ability by properly adjusting sow body shape.

After 7 to 10 days of feeding, pigs are fed an unlimited number of feeds in order to secrete a large amount of milk. That is, the feeding period and the feeding period are made in one feed reservoir 10 So that the size of the feed reservoir 10 is determined according to the timing of feeding. This is because if the feed reservoir 10 is too small, it will incur inconvenience and loss of manpower frequently, and if it is too large, it will eat less feed, so that the freshness of the feed reservoir 10 may be lowered and the frozen food may become worse. Most of the feed stored in the feed reservoir is automatically supplied to the internal feed feed port of the upper cap. When the feed feed port 16 is filled, the feed is fed to the feed reservoir 10 next time. Thus, when the amount of feed is to be reduced, the amount of feed stored in the feed reservoir 10 can be controlled so that the fresh feed can always be fed to the livestock and the feed reservoir 10 can be prevented from hardening.

The feed storage volume control tube 70 is characterized by having a diaphragm tube, a corrugated tube, a vinyl tube, or the like whose length is adjusted while varying its size. Particularly, the method such as the feeding tube of the present invention is a revolutionary method which does not require a method of adjusting the feed storage amount.
