Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding, and in particular relates to a feeding device for raising beef cattle. Background Art

[0002] Feed troughs (or feeding troughs) for cattle are essential infrastructure in pastures or barns. Traditional feed troughs typically consist of a U-shaped trough with integrally molded baffles at each end. After a period of use, the troughs need to be cleaned of dirt. This cleaning process is typically done manually using high-pressure nozzles to flush the inner walls of the troughs, which is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a feeding device for beef cattle breeding, so as to reduce the labor intensity when cleaning a feed trough.

[0004] A feeding device for beef cattle breeding in this scheme comprises a U-shaped groove with openings at both ends, a baffle being integrally formed at one end of the U-shaped groove and a partition being detachably connected to the other end; avoidance holes are provided in the opposite walls of the U-shaped groove, a guide rod and a screw are respectively provided in the two avoidance holes, and avoidance ports connected to the avoidance holes are provided on the opposite inner walls of the U-shaped groove; a groove is provided at the end of the baffle facing the partition, a cleaning plate that is proportionally reduced in size to the U-shaped cross-section of the U-shaped groove is provided in the groove, connecting blocks are provided on both sides of the cleaning plate, one of the connecting blocks is threadedly connected to the screw, and the other connecting block is slidably connected to the guide rod, the connecting block is located in the avoidance port, and the screw is connected to a motor that drives it to rotate; a cavity is provided in the cleaning plate, and high-pressure nozzles are distributed on the arc surface of the cleaning plate facing the inner wall of the U-shaped groove, the high-pressure nozzles are connected to the cavity, and the cavity is connected to a water pipe.

[0005] The working principle of this solution and its beneficial effects: When the U-shaped groove needs to be cleaned, first connect the water pipe to the water source so that the water can flow into the cavity inside the cleaning plate through the water pipe. Start the motor, and the motor drives the screw to rotate. Since one of the connecting blocks is threadedly connected to the screw, and the other connecting block is slidingly connected to the guide rod, when the screw rotates, the threaded connecting block will move along the axial direction of the screw. At the same time, the guide rod plays a guiding role to ensure that the cleaning plate moves smoothly along the inner wall of the U-shaped groove. During the movement of the cleaning plate, the high-pressure nozzle is connected to the cavity, so that the water in the cavity can be sprayed toward the inner wall of the U-shaped groove through the high-pressure nozzle in the form of a high-pressure jet, and the dirt attached to the inner wall of the U-shaped groove is strongly washed. As the cleaning plate moves back and forth in the U-shaped groove, the high-pressure nozzle continuously flushes the inner wall of the U-shaped groove, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the U-shaped groove.

[0006] This device uses a motor to drive the cleaning plate to automatically move within the U-shaped groove. The high-pressure nozzle can continuously and comprehensively flush the inner wall of the U-shaped groove, eliminating the need for frequent manual operation, greatly shortening the cleaning time and improving cleaning efficiency. During the cleaning process, the cleaning plate is proportionally reduced in size to the U-shaped cross-section of the U-shaped groove, and the high-pressure nozzles are evenly distributed on the curved surface of the cleaning plate facing the inner wall of the U-shaped groove. This can ensure that all parts of the inner wall of the U-shaped groove are fully flushed, avoiding blind spots in the cleaning process. Compared with manual cleaning, it can more effectively remove dirt and improve the cleaning effect.

[0007] Furthermore, a bracket is detachably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped trough, which increases the height of the U-shaped trough, making it easier for cattle to eat and easier for farmers to operate and clean.

[0008] Furthermore, the U-shaped trough is provided with a fixed plate, to which multiple connecting rods are fixedly connected. These connecting rods are connected to a common railing. The railing effectively prevents cattle from trampling or colliding while competing for feed, thus ensuring the safety of the cattle. Furthermore, the railing restricts the feeding area of the cattle, ensuring a more orderly feeding experience and preventing feed from being accidentally pushed out of the U-shaped trough, thereby reducing feed waste.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed plate is connected to a first hydraulic cylinder for driving the fixed plate to move up and down. The first hydraulic cylinder can drive the fixed plate and the railing to move up and down, and can flexibly adjust the height of the railing according to the body shape changes of the beef cattle at different growth stages.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to multiple limit rods, which are vertically slidably connected to the walls of the U-shaped groove. The sliding connection between the limit rods and the U-shaped groove wall provides precise guidance for the lifting and lowering of the fixed plate, ensuring that the fixed plate is raised and lowered smoothly under the drive of the first hydraulic cylinder, avoiding shaking or deviation.

[0011] Furthermore, the U-shaped trough is detachably connected to a plurality of partitions, which are arranged at equal intervals. The plurality of detachable partitions can divide the U-shaped trough into a plurality of independent small spaces. During the breeding process, the size and number of each small space can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of beef cattle, feeding habits or breeding needs.

[0012] Furthermore, the tops of the multiple partitions are integrally formed with fixed blocks, which are connected to a common connecting plate, which is connected to a second hydraulic cylinder that drives it up and down. The second hydraulic cylinder drives the connecting plate and the partitions up and down. When cleaning the U-shaped groove, the second hydraulic cylinder drives the partitions up to make room for the cleaning plate to move. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The U-shaped trough 2 includes a trough body with a U-shaped cross section and support plates 4 integrally formed on both side walls of the top of the trough body, and a baffle integrally formed at one end of the trough body. A partition plate 14 is detachably connected to the other end of the trough body. Avoidance holes are provided in the walls on opposite sides of the two support plates 4. A guide rod 9 and a screw 13 are respectively provided in the two avoidance holes. The screw 13 is rotatably connected to the avoidance hole. , the two opposite inner walls of the trough are provided with avoidance ports connected to the avoidance hole, the extension direction of the screw 13 and the guide rod 9 is consistent with the length direction of the trough, one end of the screw 13 and the guide rod 9 extends outside the support plate 4 and is connected to the mounting plate 11, the guide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11, the screw 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11, and the end of the screw 13 located outside the support plate 4 passes through the mounting plate 11 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 12; a groove is provided on the end of the baffle facing the partition 14, A cleaning plate 15 having a reduced cross-section proportional to the U-shaped groove 2 is provided in the groove, and connecting blocks 16 are provided on both sides of the cleaning plate 15, one of which is threadedly connected to the screw 13, and the other is slidably connected to the guide rod 9, and the connecting block 16 is located in the avoidance port; a cavity is provided in the cleaning plate 15, and high-pressure nozzles are distributed on the arc surface of the cleaning plate 15 facing the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 2, and the high-pressure nozzles are connected to the cavity, and the cavity is connected to a water pipe 10, and the avoidance hole where the guide rod 9 is located passes through The support plate 4 is also provided with a blind hole, and the water pipe 10 is connected to the cavity of the cleaning plate 15 through the blind hole; in addition, the bottom of the trough body is detachably connected to the bracket 3, one of the support plates 4 is provided with a fixed plate 6, and the fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to five connecting rods 7, and the five connecting rods 7 are connected to the same railing 8; the telescopic rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 1 is connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 6; the bottom of the fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to multiple limit rods 5, which pass through the support plate 4 and are vertically slidably connected to it.

[0021] The specific implementation process is as follows: when in use, the breeder puts the feed into the trough body of the U-shaped trough 2. At this time, according to the growth stage of the beef cattle, the height of the fixed plate 6 and the railing 8 is adjusted by controlling the extension and contraction of the telescopic rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 1.

[0022] When the U-shaped trough 2 needs to be cleaned, the partition 14 is removed and the water pipe 10 is connected to the water source, ensuring that water can flow through the water pipe 10 into the cavity within the cleaning plate 15. The motor 12 is started, and the motor 12 drives the screw 13 to rotate. Since one connecting block 16 is threadedly connected to the screw 13 and the other connecting block 16 is slidably connected to the guide rod 9, when the screw 13 rotates, the threaded connecting block 16 moves along the axis of the screw 13. The guide rod 9 acts as a guide, ensuring that the cleaning plate 15 moves smoothly along the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2. During the movement of the cleaning plate 15, the high-pressure nozzle is connected to the cavity, allowing the water in the cavity to be sprayed toward the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2 in the form of a high-pressure jet through the high-pressure nozzle, forcefully flushing the dirt attached to the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2. As the cleaning plate 15 reciprocates within the U-shaped trough 2, the high-pressure nozzle continuously flushes the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2 until the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2 is clean.

[0023] Example 2 is basically as shown in the attached Figures 4-5 As shown, the only difference from Example 1 is that: there are four partitions 14, which are arranged at equal intervals in the trough body, and the partition 14 farthest from the baffle can seal the end of the trough body; the tops of the four partitions 14 are all integrally formed with fixing blocks, and the multiple fixing blocks are connected to the same connecting plate 18 by screws, and the telescopic rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 17 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 18.

[0024] The specific implementation process is as follows: the farmer places feed into the various small spaces within the U-shaped trough 2, separated by partitions 14. At this point, the height of the fixed plate 6 and railing 8 are adjusted according to the growth stage of the cattle by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 1. After adjustment, the cattle are guided to the side of the U-shaped trough 2 and, restrained by the railing 8, eat in an orderly manner within their corresponding small spaces.

[0025] When the U-shaped trough 2 needs to be cleaned, the second hydraulic cylinder 17 is first started. The second hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the connecting plate 18 and the partition 14 to rise, making room for the movement of the cleaning plate 15. Then the water pipe 10 is connected to the water source, and the motor 12 is started. The motor 12 drives the screw 13 to rotate, so that the cleaning plate 15 moves along the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2. The high-pressure nozzle sprays the water in the cavity to the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2 in the form of a high-pressure jet to flush the dirt. During the cleaning process, the cleaning plate 15 moves back and forth in the U-shaped trough 2 to ensure that all parts of the inner wall of the U-shaped trough 2 are fully flushed. After the cleaning is completed, the motor 12 and the water source are turned off, and the water pipe 10 is removed. Then the second hydraulic cylinder 17 is started to lower the connecting plate 18 and the partition 14 to their initial positions, making it convenient for the next time to put in feed and for the beef cattle to eat.
