Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention relates to a mobile feeding device in a poultry house or the like.

<Prior art> A mobile feeding device is a device that feeds food while moving to a feeding trough. Usually, a rail or the like is installed at the top of a poultry house, and a hopper or the like is run there, and feed is sequentially fed to the trough using a feeding pipe. It is configured to supply food.

However, such conventional mobile feeding devices have a drawback in that they cannot uniformly supply food to the trough. As a result, there were problems such as uneven feed intake and decreased productivity. In addition, in the case of livestock such as chickens, there is a disadvantage that feed remains on the front side of the trough, which solidifies or rots, making the trough unclean.

<Summary of the invention> The inventors of the present invention have repeatedly conducted various experimental studies to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional methods. As a result, chickens kept in cages are able to pull food within reach of their necks towards them, and to They found that chickens have an instinct to eat more food than other chickens. Such behavior promotes unevenness of the bait in the trough, causing the bait to remain on the near side of the trough and solidify or rot.

The present invention was made based on such knowledge to improve the drawbacks of the conventional mobile feeding device described above, and includes a support body extending within the feeding trough;
This structure has a bait leveling piece attached to the support, and with this structure, when reciprocating for feeding, it simultaneously levels the bait in the trough and moves the bait on the front side of the trough to the opposite side. This is what I did to send it to you. Furthermore, it becomes possible to arbitrarily distribute the bait in the trough as required.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In FIG. 1, the feeding hopper 1 is a supporting frame 10.
It is supported by a rail 12 and runs on a rail 12 by means of wheels 11 mounted thereon. A feeding pipe 2 extends downward from the lower part of the feeding hopper 1 and extends onto a feeding trough 51 mounted on the front surface of the cage 50 and above the tray 52. A bait conditioning piece 3 is attached to the tip of the feeding pipe 2. A band 4 is attached to the tip of the feeding pipe 2, a support piece 5 is fixed thereto, a support body 6 hangs down from the support piece 5, and the bait conditioning piece 3 is attached to the lower end of the support body 6. Figure 3 and Figure 4 bait taming piece 3
Show details. The bait conditioning piece 3 consists of a plate 30 and a brush 31, and the plate 30 is connected to the feeding trough 5.
1, and in this embodiment, it has a shape close to a trapezoid as shown in the figure. A long hole 34 is formed in the center of the plate 30 in the width direction.
is formed, and is connected to the support body 6 through this elongated hole 34 with a bolt 35. Therefore, the plate 30 is fixed to the support body 6 so as to be slidable in the width direction and adjustable in angle in the vertical direction. A brush 31 is fixed to one end of the plate 30 via a fixture 32 and bolts and nuts 33. This brush 31 is curved slightly downward from the side of one end of the plate 30.

As shown in FIG.
It is used by adjusting the position so that it contacts the 0 side.
Further, a predetermined distance is provided between the bottom of the plate 30 and the bottom of the feeding trough 51.

With the above configuration, the feed
It becomes possible to move bait X to the opposite side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the food from solidifying or rotting in the cage 50 of the feeding trough 51, which conventionally occurs. It also enables efficient intake of food.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing this operation, in which the bait X supplied from the feeding pipe 2 to the feeding trough 51 is immediately leveled by the bait leveling piece 3, and the cage 5
You can see that the bait on the 0 side is attracted to the opposite side.
Since this leveling operation is performed even on the return trip when no food is supplied, the effect is extremely large.

The degree to which bait X is moved toward the center is bait conditioning piece 3.
It can be adjusted by adjusting the position of. For example, the bait conditioning piece 3 shown in FIG. 1 is in large contact with the feeding trough 51, but if it is rotated downward and moved toward the center, the bait X will be brought even closer to the center. Become.

Note that although the illustration above shows one feed pipe 2 hanging down from the feed hopper 1, in reality it is one feed pipe 2 hanging down from the feed hopper 1.
A plurality of feeding pipes 2 extend from one feeding hopper 1. Further, the main body of the mobile feeding device is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, but may have a structure similar to a vehicle that runs on a floor surface, or may have any structure as long as it moves along a trough.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the mobile feeding device of the present invention, the food can be leveled at the same time as feeding, and the food on the front side can be brought to the center, so that the food can be fed evenly. Intake can be equalized. Moreover, since the distribution of feed in the trough can be adjusted arbitrarily, it is possible to realize the most efficient feeding of feed into the trough depending on the size, degree, and nature of the livestock being raised. As a result, the amount of leftover bait and the scattering of the bait is reduced, the feeding efficiency can be further improved, and the trough can be prevented from becoming unclean due to rotting and solidifying the bait.
