Description

Denne oppfinnelse vedrører et f6ringsanlegg, fortrinnsvis for husdyr, yed hvilket anlegg adskilte f6ringsbord med hver sin foringsskål er anordnet for hvert husdyr. This invention relates to a feeding facility, preferably for domestic animals, in which facility separate feeding tables with separate feeding bowls are arranged for each domestic animal.

Det er tidligere kjent å f<5re husdyr automatisk ved at det ved hjelp av et tidsur tilveiebringes signaler som aktiviserer en utporsjoneringsanordning for basis- og/eller kraftfér. Husdyrene f<5res imidlertid oftest manuelt eller med en separat an-ordning når det gjelder tilførsel av høy til dyrenes ffirings-skåler. Foringen av husdyr har hittil foregått på den måte at husdyrene på bestemte tidspunkter har fått bestemte porsjoner med høy, hvilket har forårsaket stress hos dyrene fordi visse dyr eter langsommere, slik at noen dyr har fortere gjort slutt på sin rasjon, mens andre dyr i tilgrensende båser fremdeles har igjen. Derved har det oppstått f6ringsstridigheter som har gjort dyrene uharmoniske med den følge at de avgir mindre mengder melk henholdsvis gir dårligere kjøtt. It is previously known to feed livestock automatically in that, with the aid of a timer, signals are provided which activate a portioning device for base and/or power feed. However, the livestock is most often fed manually or with a separate arrangement when it comes to supplying hay to the animals' feeding bowls. The feeding of farm animals has so far taken place in such a way that the farm animals have received specific portions of hay at certain times, which has caused stress in the animals because certain animals eat more slowly, so that some animals have finished their ration more quickly, while other animals in neighboring stalls still have left. This has resulted in breeding disputes which have made the animals disharmonious with the result that they produce smaller amounts of milk or produce poorer meat.

Hensikten med denne oppfinnelse er ved unngåelse av de om-talte ulemper å tilveiebringe et foringsanlegg fortrinnsvis for husdyr som er enkelt og pålitelig i sin funksjon og konstruk-sjon. The purpose of this invention is, by avoiding the disadvantages mentioned, to provide a feeding system, preferably for livestock, which is simple and reliable in its function and construction.

Hensikten med oppfinnelsen oppnås med at en første og i det minste en andre ffiringslomme er tilsluttet hver av f6rings-skålene, hvor den første foringslomme har organer for kontinuerlig tilførsel av høy til den respektive foringsskål og hvor den andre ffiringslomme har organer for seg gjentagende porsjonering av forutbestemte mengder basis- og/eller kraftfor til angjeldende foringsskål. The purpose of the invention is achieved by a first and at least a second feed pocket being connected to each of the feed bowls, where the first feed pocket has means for continuous supply of hay to the respective feed bowl and where the second feed pocket has means for repeated portioning of predetermined quantities of base and/or power feed for the relevant feed bowl.

Oppfinnelsen skal beskrives i det følgende under henvisning til tegningene, som viser en foretrukken utførelse. The invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, which show a preferred embodiment.

Fig. 1 er et grunnriss av et foringsanlegg ifølge oppfinnelsen, fig. 2 et tverrsnitt langs linjen 2-2 på fig. 1, og fig. 3 et tverrsnitt langs linjen 3-3 på fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a ground plan of a lining plant according to the invention, fig. 2 a cross-section along the line 2-2 in fig. 1, and fig. 3 a cross-section along the line 3-3 in fig. 1.

Under henvisning til tegningene vises et foringsanlegg 1 ifølge oppfinnelsen fortrinnsvis for husdyr, som omfatter fire etter hverandre anordnede foringsbord 2 med adskilte fdrings-skåler 3 for fire dyr. Skjønt den på tegningene viste utførelse av anlegget omfatter fire etter hverandre anordnede f<5ringsbord, kan antallet foringsbord naturligvis variere etter behov. With reference to the drawings, a feeding system 1 according to the invention is shown, preferably for livestock, which comprises four successively arranged feeding tables 2 with separate feeding bowls 3 for four animals. Although the design of the plant shown in the drawings comprises four lining tables arranged one after the other, the number of lining tables can naturally vary as required.

Over hver foringsskål 3 er det anordnet tre féringslommer hvorav ffiringslommen 4 i midten er innrettet for høy og de ytre f6ringslommer 5 og 6 henholdsvis er innrettet for basisfor og kraftf6r. Den nedre ende av foringslommene er bøyd fremover mot dyret, slik det fremgår av fig. 2 og 3. Three lining pockets are arranged above each lining bowl 3, of which the lining pocket 4 in the middle is arranged for height and the outer lining pockets 5 and 6 respectively are arranged for basic lining and power lining. The lower end of the lining pockets is bent forward towards the animal, as can be seen from fig. 2 and 3.

Videre er vannskåler 7 anordnet mellom to tilstøtende f6ringsbord, slik at hver vannskål betjener to husdyr. Mellom féringsbordene finnes dessuten stengevern 8 og 9 som er utført av en stort sett U-formet rundstang. De stangevern 8 som er anordnet mellom to foringsbord, hvor også en vannskål 7 er anordnet, er forlenget sammenlignet med de øvrige stangevern 9 for ikke å forårsake stridigheter mellom dyrene under vanndrikkin-gen. En slange 10 er tilsluttet hver vannskål for kontinuerlig tilførsel av vann til skålen. Furthermore, water bowls 7 are arranged between two adjacent feeding tables, so that each water bowl serves two livestock. Between the fairing tables there are also shutters 8 and 9 which are made of a mostly U-shaped round bar. The pole guards 8 which are arranged between two feeding tables, where a water bowl 7 is also arranged, are extended compared to the other pole guards 9 in order not to cause disputes between the animals during the water drinking. A hose 10 is connected to each water bowl for continuous supply of water to the bowl.

F6ringsbordene bæres av hovedsakelig L-formede støttestol-per 11, hvis nedre flens hviler på fjøsets eller stallens gulv og hvis søyle eller stamme tjener som feste for féringsbordets bakre hjørnekanter. The feeding tables are supported by mainly L-shaped support posts 11, the lower flange of which rests on the floor of the barn or stable and whose column or trunk serves as a fastening for the rear corner edges of the feeding table.

Foran og på midten av f6ringslommens 4 utløpsåpning er anordnet en rist 12 bestående av tre bøyde metallstenger som forhindrer at dyret drar ut for store mengder høy, men forhindrer dog ikke dyret i å dra ut passende høyporsjoner. Risten kan selvfølgelig utformes på en annen måte, stengene kan f.eks. bøyes anderledes eller antallet stenger kan variere. A grate 12 consisting of three bent metal rods is arranged in front and in the middle of the feed pocket 4 outlet opening, which prevents the animal from pulling out excessive amounts of hay, but does not, however, prevent the animal from pulling out suitable portions of hay. The grate can of course be designed in a different way, the bars can e.g. bent differently or the number of rods may vary.

En hovedsakelig horisontalt anordnet aksel 13 er ført gjennom ffiringsanlegget og bærer dels i ffiringslommene 4 midt på akselen leddbaft festede.matearmer 14 for fremmatning av høy og dels i de ytre foringslommer med akselen forbundne, i forhold til hverandre innstillbare veggpartier 15, som er innrettet til å danne porsjoneringsanordninger for basis- hhv. kraftfor. Når akselen dreies i den ene retning mates høyet frem i féringslom-men 4 på midten og porsjoneringsanordningene i de ytre f<5rings-lommer 5 og 6 står stille. Når akselen dreies i den motsatte retning, dreies porsjoneringsanordningene og porsjonerer ut basis- og kraftfor i forutbestemte mengder til dyrene, idet matearmene gir etter ved sine indre leddpunkter. Veggpartiene er fortrinnsvis anbragt på et på akselen 13 påtredd og ikke vist rør som er forbundet med akselen ved hjelp av en heller ikke vist enveiskobling. Alternativt kan matearmene være fast for bundet med et på akselen 13 påtredd ikke vist rør og ikke viste enveiskoblinger kan være koblet slik mellom på den ene side por-sjoneringsanordningenes rør og akselen 13 og på den andre side mellom høymatningsdelens rør og akselen 13 at enten porsjoneringsanordningene eller matearmene aktiviseres når akselen 13 dreies i den ene av de to retninger. A mainly horizontally arranged shaft 13 is guided through the feed system and carries, partly in the feed pockets 4 in the middle of the shaft, articulated feed arms 14 for feeding hay and partly in the outer feed pockets connected to the shaft, wall sections 15 that can be adjusted in relation to each other, which are arranged to to form portioning devices for basic or power supply. When the shaft is turned in one direction, the hay is fed forward into the feed pocket 4 in the middle and the portioning devices in the outer feed pockets 5 and 6 stand still. When the shaft is rotated in the opposite direction, the portioning devices are rotated and portion out base and power feed in predetermined amounts to the animals, the feeding arms yielding at their inner pivot points. The wall sections are preferably placed on a pipe attached to the shaft 13 and not shown, which is connected to the shaft by means of a one-way coupling, also not shown. Alternatively, the feeding arms can be firmly connected with a pipe not shown attached to the shaft 13 and one-way couplings (not shown) can be connected in such a way that between on the one hand the pipe of the portioning devices and the shaft 13 and on the other side between the pipe of the high feeding part and the shaft 13 that either the portioning devices or the feed arms are activated when the shaft 13 is turned in one of the two directions.

For aktivisering og drift av foringsanlegget ifølge oppfinnelsen er en elektrisk motor 16 med en påkoblet tidsbryter 17 forbundet med akselens ene ende, slik at man ved hjelp av tids-bryteren kan aktivisere motoren for tilveiebringelse av en hen-siktsmessig foring av dyrene. For activation and operation of the feeding system according to the invention, an electric motor 16 with a connected time switch 17 is connected to one end of the shaft, so that with the help of the time switch the motor can be activated to provide appropriate feeding of the animals.

Oppfinnelsen er naturligvis ikke begrenset til den ovenfor beskrevne eller på tegningene viste utførelse, men kan modifi-seres innenfor patentkravenes ramme. The invention is of course not limited to the embodiment described above or shown in the drawings, but can be modified within the scope of the patent claims.
