Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention mainly relates to a single-port pig feeder.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of feeder has a main body formed by bending an iron plate into a U-shape to form side plates and a back plate, and stores food inside and above the main body. There is a storage tank and a feed tank below. Therefore, there is a drawback that the main body member and the internal material overlap, which increases material costs and processing costs, resulting in high costs. In particular, the type with a funnel-shaped constriction at the bottom of the storage tank was uneconomical.

In addition, the attachment to the pig stall fence is done by bolting or by attaching it to a shaft that also serves as the door, but since it is made of metal, it is heavy and cannot be easily attached or detached, making it very inconvenient to handle. Ta. For example, when a feeder is pivoted to a door, the feeder gets in the way and prevents the door from fully opening, making it difficult to take pigs in and out. Also, cleaning etc. were difficult.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Conventional feeding devices have had the above-mentioned problems in terms of production costs and handling.

The present invention was devised to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional feeders mentioned above, and is economical, saves materials, requires fewer manufacturing steps, and can be easily attached to the pig stall fence. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeder for pigs that is easy to handle.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The feeder of the present invention solves the above problems by integrally molding the upper feed tank part and the lower feed tank part with plastic, and the lower part of the feed tank part is tapered. A configuration characterized in that the feed tank is constricted to form a narrow portion, and the upper end of the feed tank portion is bent inward to form a flange portion connected to the lower end of the narrow portion, and a bait fall control device is attached to the inner surface of the flange portion. It was solved by In addition, the mounting problem was solved by providing a protrusion for attachment on the lower side of both sides of the feeder and a bearing plate for fixing on the upper side.

(Function) The bait storage tank and feed tank are integrally molded in plastic according to their shape, and a bait fall control device is installed in the middle, so the feed tank and storage tank can be placed separately inside the main body, unlike conventional methods. The number of parts is smaller than that of conventional products, and there are no overlapping parts. In addition, since the bait fall control device is integrally molded from plastic, it is easy to manufacture and the manufacturing process is significantly shortened compared to the conventional method. Therefore, the feeding device of the present invention can be manufactured at extremely low cost in terms of material costs and processing costs.

By bending the upper end of the bait tank part inward to form a flange part connected to the tapered lower end, a bait fall control device can be attached to the inner surface of the flange part. Therefore, the frame fittings and the like for attaching the bait fall control device can be housed below the flange, and there is no possibility that these will protrude into the bait falling passage in the narrow part and obstruct the falling of the bait, and form a bridge. This allows the bait to flow out smoothly.

In addition, since it is made of plastic and is lightweight, it can be easily attached to and detached from the pig stall fence by providing an anchoring protrusion and a fixing bearing plate on the side of the feeder. Therefore, it is easy to take pigs in and out, and the feeder can be cleaned easily.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a pig feeder according to the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a bait storage tank, and 2 is a feed tank. The lower part of the bait storage tank 1 is narrowed into a tapered shape such as a funnel to form a narrow part 3, and the bait fall control device 10 is easily attached to the lower side of the narrow part 3. The upper end of the feed tank part 2 is horizontally bent inward to form a horizontal flange part 4 that connects to the narrow lower end, and the bottom thereof is widened downward to form the feed tank part 2 having a feeding space. has been done. The feeder is molded of plastic by, for example, a rotational molding method, and after molding, a feeding port 5 is opened on the top surface of the storage tank.
The front of the feeding tank is also open to accommodate the pig's head (feeding port 6).
It can be easily manufactured by forming. Note that the method of molding the feeder is not limited to rotational molding, and various molding methods can be employed.

An embodiment of the bait fall control device 10 is shown in FIG. The bait fall control device includes a frame fitting 11 attached to the lower surface of the horizontal flange portion 4, an inclined plate 12 fixed to the frame fitting, and an actuating plate 14 having a hook-shaped cross section and a bait feeding plate 13 at the tip thereof rotated. It is attached freely. Further, a bait receiving plate 15 is provided below the inclined plate 12 and the bait feeding plate 13 with a gap formed between the inclined plate 12 and the bait outlet 16. Therefore, when the pig pushes the actuating plate 14, the feed feeding plate 13 rotates.
The bait remaining on the bait receiving plate 15 can be scraped out and dropped into the feed tank from the bait outlet 16.

Note that the bait fall control device is not limited to the one in this embodiment, and various types of conventionally known types can be employed.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the feeder with mounting fixtures. The feeder 20 of this embodiment is designed to be easily attached to and detached from pig stall fences, etc.
Since it is integrally molded from plastic and basically has the same structure as the previous embodiment, the same components are given the same reference numerals as in the previous embodiment.
In the figure, 21 is a fixing bearing plate provided on the outer surface of the side wall of the storage tank, which overlaps with the fixing bearing plate provided on the pig stall fence and is fixed by inserting a mounting bolt into the bolt hole 22. . Reference numeral 24 denotes a locking protrusion for fixing provided on the outer surface of the side wall of the feed tank, and as shown in FIG. 4, it is supported by fitting into a locking notch formed in a locking metal fitting fixed to the pig stall fence. In addition, 26 is a bait fall control device, and in this embodiment, a fixed amount feeding type that is activated by the pig pressing an operating rod 27 is adopted. The bearing plate and the locking projection may be constructed by attaching separate metal fittings, or may be formed integrally with the feeder from plastic.

The feeding device of this embodiment is configured as described above,
As shown in FIG. 4, a locking protrusion 24 provided on the feeder is attached to a locking metal fitting 32 provided on the pig stall fence 30.
The bearing plate 22 provided on the feeder is fitted and locked to the bearing plate 31 provided on the pig stall fence 30.
By polymerizing and fixing with bolt 32,
The feeder can be extremely easily fixed to the pig stall fence 30, and can also be easily removed.

(Effects) The pig feeder of the present invention is configured as described above, and has the following special effects.

Since the bait storage tank and the feed tank are integrally molded from plastic according to their shape, the number of parts is fewer and the parts are duplicated compared to the conventional system where the feed tank and storage tank are formed separately inside the main body. There is nothing to do, and it can be manufactured at extremely low cost in terms of material and processing costs.

By bending the upper end of the feed tank part inward to form a flange part that connects to the tapered narrow lower end of the bait storage tank part, the bait fall control device can be attached to the inner surface of the flange part. The frame metal fittings for attaching the bait fall control device can be stored below the flange, and there is no risk that these will protrude into the bait falling passage in the narrow part, obstructing the bait falling, and forming bridges, allowing the bait to be dropped smoothly. It can be made to flow out.

Further, according to the structure of claim 2, the feeder can be easily attached to and removed from the pig stall fence, etc., making it easy to take pigs in and out, and cleaning the feeder easily.
