Description

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

(b) Conventional technology A conventional general pig feeder is divided into a feeding box 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 regulating 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 above-mentioned conventional feeder, although the opening and closing of the feed outlet to the feed tank is controlled by a control plate, it is necessary to constantly monitor the beginning and end of the pig's feeding. 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, the opening must be adjusted to the appropriate degree. It is quite difficult to do this, and if there is leftover feed in the feeding tank, the pigs will drool.
If it gets wet with snorts, it becomes moldy or rots, which inhibits the growth of pigs and poses 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) Measures to solve the problem A cover plate is provided on the back of the division plate that divides the feeder into a feeding tank and a feed chamber and a control plate device is attached thereto, 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. Equipped with a feed cutoff plate that moves up and down, the feed cutoff plate
The structure shall be set up for each head address.

(E) Effect When pigs stick their necks into the food tank of a feeder when feeding, they have a habit of picking up foreign objects when they hit the top of their snouts, and pushing them when 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 snout, the feed cut-off plate rises and the top of the inclined bottom plate of the feed chamber that was stopped by the feed cut-off plate is lifted. 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,
Furthermore, when feeding is finished, the actuating rod of the feed stopping plate is not raised, so no feed flows into the feeding 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).
The feeder 1 is tilted backward from the upper front of the feeder 1.
A partition plate 2 that hangs down in the middle of the partition plate 2 divides the front part into a feeding chamber 3 and the rear part into a feed chamber 4, and the lower part is a bottom plate 5 with a ship's bottom shape in cross section.
A gap is created between the bottom surface of the bottom plate 5 and the bottom of the bottom plate 5, which serves as a feed outlet 6 for feed in the feed chamber 4. The bottom plate 5 forms a 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, the feed outlet 6 is slid up and down by a handle device 9 attached to the partition plate 2 on the back side of the vertical plate 2a.
It is equipped with a feed flow rate adjustment plate 10 that opens and closes. 1
Reference numeral 1 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 feeding device according to the present invention, the partition plate 2
A cover plate 12 is provided on the back side of the vertical plate 2a to cover the adjustment plate 10 and its vertical operating device. The cover plate 12
The lower part thereof is bent inward to form a feed drop opening 13 between it and the opposing feed chamber inclined bottom plate 8. In the gap between the adjustment plate 10 and the cover plate 12, a feed cutoff plate 14 with a width for one pig, that is, one feed cutoff plate 14 for each section of the partition plate 11 of the feed tank 7, is inserted so as to be vertically slidable. do. 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 device 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, and the lower surface of the swash plate 14a contacts the feed chamber inclined bottom plate 8 to prevent feed from flowing down. are doing. Further, an operating rod 15 having a concave front shape and a J-shaped side surface is attached to the front surface of the blocking plate 14. The tip of the actuating 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 actuating rod 15 is projected from the back side of the adjusting plate 10 into the feeding tank 7 on the front side.
A groove 19 (FIGS. 2 and 3) is provided in the lower portion of the blocking plate 14 through which the operating rod 15 passes.

(G) Effects of the Invention Since the pig feeder according to the present invention is configured as described above, when eating, the pigs can open the shielding plate 14 that blocks the flow of feed by themselves to allow the feed to flow down.
Once the feeding is finished, feed will automatically stop flowing down. Therefore, simply keeping the feed flow control plate open at a moderately constant rate according to the size of the pigs will prevent leftover feed from accumulating in the feed tank, and the operator will have to constantly open and close the control plate. There is no need to worry about food waste, and there is no need to waste feed. In addition, a cover plate is provided just above the cut-off plate that opens and closes the feed flow, and the lower part of the cover plate projects backward to receive the feed in the feed chamber, so the weight of the feed on the feed cut-off plate is light, and The blocking plate can be lifted up with little resistance so that even a piglet can easily lift it up.
