Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a pig feeder for raising pigs.

Conventional technology The mixed feeding system, in which excessive water is mixed with feed and fed to pigs, is more effective than the system in which water and powdered feed are fed separately.
It is widely known that feed efficiency is high, less dust is generated, and there is no direct spillage of water from water dispensers, reducing the amount of waste water. Therefore, in recent years, feeders with water dispensers have been used.

As shown in the cross section of FIG. 4, as a conventional feeder with a water supply device, the feed outlet from the feed hopper 25 is provided in the upper part of the feed tank, and the hopper lower plate is protruded forward from the feed outlet to open the feed outlet. Forming a shelf board 26,
A system has been proposed in which the bait is allowed to flow onto the shelf board and fall into the feeding tank 27 from there.
A water dispenser is installed below the shelf, and when the pig presses the water dispenser, spilled water collects in the feeding tank and mixes with the feed that has fallen from the feed outlet.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional feeder proposed above, the feed outlet and the feed outlet shelf are provided over the entire width of the feeder, so the feed flows out over the entire width of the feeder. . As a result, the bait that spilled out onto both sides of the bait tray remained uneaten, causing problems such as rotting of the bait and resulting in unsanitary conditions. Additionally, if the feed outlet is open to the full width of the feeder, excess feed will flow out, and in the case of mixed feeding, excess feed will remain in the feed tank mixed with water, making it particularly susceptible to spoilage. This was a sanitary problem during the mild summer months.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is capable of constantly supplying an appropriate amount of feed in a feeder with a water dispenser, reducing the amount of feed remaining in the feed shelf or in the feed tank, The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pig feeder that can further improve feed efficiency.

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above purpose, the pig feeder of the present invention is a feeder that is equipped with a water supply device below the feed outlet and allows the feed to flow down from above and feed in a mixed state with water. The feed outlet and the feed receiving shelf for receiving the feed flowing out from the feed outlet are configured to be narrow so that they are located only at the center in the width direction of the feeder main body. As a result, I was able to accomplish this.

Function: The bait outlet and the bait outlet shelf are located only in the center of the feeder body in the width direction and are narrow, so the bait flowing onto the shelf is obstructed by the side plate of the feeder. This eliminates the problem of bait remaining on both sides of the shelf as in the past. In addition, since the width of the outlet is narrow, excess bait will not flow out. As a result, no uneaten food remains in the feed tank, and feed can be fed efficiently. It is also more hygienic since there is no rotting of leftover feed.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the pig feeder according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the feeder, and in this embodiment, it is a mounting type that is attached to and supported by a pig stall fence. It has a mouth 4, a feed tank 5 at the bottom, and a hopper 7 at the top. Note that 6 is a mounting bracket for attaching the feeder to a fence or the like. The hopper front plate 8 forming the hopper 7 includes a slope part 9 that descends obliquely from the upper front corner of the feeder body toward the back plate 3, and a vertical surface part 10 that descends perpendicularly from the slope part 9. It's summery. The vertical surface portion 10 is
As shown in FIG. 1, both sides gradually become narrower downward, and the lowermost part thereof hangs down with equal width, and the lower end forms a bait outlet with the hopper bottom plate 13. Further, a funnel side plate 11 is provided between the side of the vertical surface part 10 and the back plate 3, and the hopper funnel part 1 is provided with a funnel side plate 11.
form 2.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an adjustment plate, which is provided on the vertical surface 10 of the hopper front plate 8 so as to be movable up and down, and adjusts the opening/closing of the bait outlet and the opening amount. 15 is an adjustment plate lifting device;
16 is an adjustment plate guide. Further, 17 is a bait outlet shelf plate, and the lower plate of the hopper projects forward from the bait outlet to receive the bait flowing out from the outlet.

As shown in FIG. 1, the feed outlet and the feed outlet shelf board 17 are located at the center in the width direction of the feeder main body 1, and the width thereof is large enough for one pig to reach the feed on the shelf board with its nose. It is sufficient to have a width that allows the feeder to be dropped, and in the illustrated embodiment, it is approximately half the width of the feeder main body. This prevents bait from remaining on the sides of the shelf and prevents excess bait from flowing out. In addition, in order to reduce the amount of food remaining in the feed tank 5,
In this embodiment, the shape is made into a mortar shape so that the bait is concentrated in the center.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a water supply device provided at the lower end of the water supply pipe 21 facing the feed tank 5, and an appropriate water supply device may be used, such as a type in which water flows out when the pig presses a valve, or a timer type in which water is supplied at a fixed time. Can be adopted.

Effects The pig feeder of the present invention is constructed as described above, and the feed outlet is located at the center in the width direction of the feeder body, so all the feed that flows out onto the shelf is fed by the pigs. This eliminates the possibility that the bait that has flowed out from the outlet onto the shelf board remains on both sides of the shelf board, unlike the conventional method. In addition, since the width of the outlet is narrow, excess feed will not flow out as the pigs feed. Therefore, an appropriate amount can be fed at all times, and feed efficiency can be further improved. Further, since there is no rotting of residual feed in the feeding tank, it is not only sanitary, but also diarrhea and indigestion in pigs due to rotten feed are eliminated, and the breeding effect can be enhanced.
