A bait tank 6 is formed at the bottom and a storage tank 7 is formed at the top from the back plate 3, side plates 4, and bottom plate 5, and the storage tank 7 has a shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Further, a partition plate 8 extends downward from the lower end of the front plate 2, and a narrow substantially horizontal outlet 9 is formed between the lower edge of the partition plate 8 and the bottom plate 5, through which the feed in the storage tank passes. It is designed to collapse into the bait tank 6.

いわれており、飼料の損失は多大であつた。 These conventional feed feeding boxes have the disadvantage that the feed may solidify in the storage tank 7, causing feed clogging and not disintegrating smoothly, and conversely, feed often spills into the feeding tank in excess. It was hot. In conventional feed feeding boxes, the place where feed is most likely to solidify is at the bottom of the valley-shaped storage tank 7, near the outlet. A fixed partition plate is attached to adjust and fix the feed, but the feed may vary depending on the position in the storage tank, such as low, high, front, back, etc. In the case of stored feed, the solidity is not uniform due to significant differences in the degree of solidification, so unlike liquid feed, it may solidify and not collapse at a certain opening. Therefore, in order to smoothly disintegrate general feed, it is necessary to have several gaps between the partition plate and the bottom plate.
cm, and in that case, the feed that tends to crumble would crumble abnormally into the feed tank, causing feed spillage. As a result, it is said that more than 5% of the feed amount is lost when expensive feed spills out of the feed tank, resulting in a large amount of feed loss.

本発明の目的は従来の飼料給餌箱の欠点である
飼料詰りや飼料こぼしを完全に防止することので
きる養豚用飼料給餌器を提供しようとするもので
ある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a feed feeder for pigs that can completely prevent feed clogging and feed spillage, which are the drawbacks of conventional feed feeders.

成したものである。 To achieve this purpose, this feed feeder includes a front plate, a back plate, both side plates, and a bottom plate, and includes a feed tank at the bottom and a storage tank at the top, and the front plate of the feed box. One or more pieces are arranged in the gap between the lower edge and the bottom plate and for each divided head of the feed tank so as to fit the width of each head, It has a tubular suspension partition with an outer diameter of approximately 3 to 5 cm, which is suspended in parallel via a shaft rod supported in parallel with the lower edge of the front plate, and the suspension partition is at the lower end of the front plate. It is configured to be able to swing back and forth between the edge and the bottom plate.

を知り、本飼料給餌器に懸垂仕切具を設けるよう
にしたものである。 That is, this feed feeder is provided with a hanging partition that swings back and forth in place of the fixed partition plate of the conventional feed feeding box. A tubular device is suitable for pushing the nose of a pig, so in most cases, a tubular hanging partition device is hung in parallel to the outlet of the storage tank to create an almost occluded shape.
The swing of the hanging divider disintegrates the feed, so even if the gap between the divider and the bottom plate is only a few mm, the feed will not disintegrate as it would with a conventional fixed divider with an opening of several centimeters. Knowing that it is possible to disintegrate the feed smoothly, we installed a hanging partition on this feed feeder.

以下本発明による養豚用飼料給餌器の実施例に
ついて第３Ａ図〜第７図を参照して説明する。 Embodiments of the pig feed feeder according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3A to 7.

うになつている。 In the figure, 11 is a feed feeding box, which has a downwardly inclined front plate 12 and a vertical back plate 13.
A bait tank 16 is formed at the bottom and a storage tank 17 is formed at the top from the left and right side plates 14 and the bottom plate 15, and the storage tank 17 has a shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The lower edge of the front plate 12 is substantially horizontal, and a substantially horizontal gap is formed between it and the bottom plate 15. Normal feed feeding box 1
1, because it is necessary to allow several or more pigs to eat at the same time, the feeding tank 16 is divided into several or more piglets by a support member 19, as shown in FIG. They have learned to feed by putting their heads in their mouths.

前面板１２は、本実施例においては先下がりに

することができる。 In this embodiment, the front plate 12 is shown as being inclined downward, but it can also be provided substantially vertically as shown in FIG. 2B. In addition, in a feed feeding box made by fixing two identical feed feeding boxes back to back so that food can be fed from both feeding tanks, both back plates can be removed.

とができる。 Reference numeral 18 denotes a shaft rod, which has a plurality of supporting members 19 parallel to the lower edge of the front plate 12, whose both ends are supported by the left and right side plates 14, and whose intermediate portions are fixed integrally with the front plate 12.
is supported by 20 is a suspension partition,
As shown in FIG.
2 and the bottom plate 15, and one piece for each head of the bait tank 16 separated by the support member 19 so as to fit the width of each head. It is suspended in parallel to 18,
It can swing back and forth within the gap between the lower edge of the front plate 12 and the bottom plate 15. The number of hanging partitions 20 hung for each head of the bait tank 16 may be two or more instead of one. Hanging partition device 2
0 is an appropriate weight, preferably a tubular one with an outer diameter of about 3cm to 5cm, and a gap between the bottom plate and the bottom of the suspension partition suspended from the shaft rod for feed to fall out. When the thickness is about 3 mm, the feed can be disintegrated smoothly.

自在に支持するようにすることもできる。 In this example, the suspension partition is a tubular one, but it can also be made by cutting out a part of the pipe material and fixing an end plate with a notch on both end faces for the shaft rod to pass through, or one in which the plate material has a cross-section shaped like an eight-shape downwards. It can be made into various shapes, such as one in which the shaft rod is passed through the bent part of the upper part. It is also possible to fix a short shaft to the end face of the partition and to rotatably support the shaft on the support member.

つぎに上述の懸垂仕切具２０が設けられた飼料
給餌器の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the feed feeder provided with the above-mentioned hanging partition 20 will be explained.

に飼料流出が行なわれる。 The hanging divider 20 swings into the storage tank 17 when pushed by the pig's snout from the feeding tank 16 side as shown in Figure 8A, but when the snout is removed, it returns to its original state due to its own weight as shown in Figure 8B. Restore vertically. In order to prevent the hanging partition from being pushed out toward the bait tank due to the cumulative pressure of the feed in the storage tank 17, the hanging partition is installed at the lower edge of the front plate 12 to prevent it from moving toward the bait tank. It's getting old. When feed is put into the storage tank 17, the feed flows through the gap of a few millimeters between the hanging partition 20 and the bottom plate 15 in an avalanche shape to the flat part of the feed tank 16 through the slope of the bottom plate. The thickness is only a few millimeters, and although it varies depending on the size of the feed tank, it is only a few percent of the allowable capacity of the feed tank, so there is no need to worry about the pigs spilling the feed outside the feed tank. Also, when the feed solidifies and natural outflow is interrupted, the pigs press their noses on the hanging divider in search of feed, so the hanging divider 20
The feed is drawn into the storage tank 17 and is vibrated to cause the feed to flow out smoothly again.

餌箱とは大きく相違し飼料の過出による餌こぼれ
を防ぎ飼料損失を完全に防止することができる。 Pigs are mischievous and often play with pushing the food whether they want food or not, but unlike automatic drinking machines for pigs, the feed collapses in an avalanche shape through the sloped part of the bottom plate. As long as the feed is being fed out, even if the pigs try to push it, there will be resistance from the narrow gap and no unnecessary feed will fall out. As mentioned above, this feed feeder is significantly different from conventional feeding boxes that only have individual partition plates, and can completely prevent feed loss by preventing overflow of feed due to overflow of feed.

に伝わり、固まつた飼料でも容易に崩出する。 In this feed feeder, if the feed is particularly easy to solidify and the feed near the back plate 13 is difficult to break down just by the movement of the hanging partition 20, the steps shown in Fig. 3B and Fig. 3B are used to break up the feed. As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8A, a spring 21 formed of a long elastic coarse coil of wire is attached to the bottom plate 15 on the side of the storage tank 17 so as to be adjacent to the rows of suspension partitions.
It can be freely disposed on the top. When the suspension partition 20 is pushed by the pig's snout and swung, the spring 21 releases the back plate 13 as shown in FIG. 8C.
If it approaches , the vibration of the spring in response to the movement of the hanging partition will be transmitted to the feed in the lower part of the storage tank 17, and even hardened feed will easily collapse.

させて食べるので、飼槽には飼料が残らない。 In addition, in order to prevent uneaten feed from remaining in the feed tank, a fine spring 21 of an appropriate diameter is installed as shown in FIG. Feed easily collapses into the spring due to the feed pressure, but since the feed pressure is not directly applied to the spring, the powder placed in the fine wire mesh will not fall unless the wire mesh is vibrated. Similarly, unless vibration is applied to the spring, the feed will not fall out from inside the spring into the feed tank. Therefore, when the pigs want to feed, they push their noses against the hanging divider and transmit vibrations to the adjacent springs, causing the feed to collapse and eat, so no feed remains in the feed tank.

る。 In addition, in this feed feeder, in order to smoothly disintegrate the feed in the storage tank 17 whose front plate 12 is an inclined surface, a plurality of shutter partition plates 2 each having a width of about 3 cm are provided.
2 can be stretched between the side plates 14 as shown in FIGS. 3B, 7, and 8D. In this way, the feed pressure is not directly applied between each shutter partition plate 22, and the stored feed is partitioned into two parts 17a and 17b, one on the vertical side and the other on the inclined side. As shown in the figure, the feed in the vertical side portion 17a begins to crumble, and then, as shown in FIG. 8F, the feed in the inclined side portion 17b gradually collapses, and no feed brittle occurs and the feed collapses smoothly.

本発明による飼料給餌器は、上述のように構成
されているので、飼料は確実且つ順調に崩出さ

果の大きいものである。 Since the feed feeder according to the present invention is configured as described above, the feed is reliably and smoothly disintegrated, and loss of feed can also be prevented, making it extremely effective.
