Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of livestock feed pipe technology, and more specifically, to a segmented quick-release livestock feed pipe connection structure. Background Technology
[0002] In modern livestock farming, large-scale and automated farming models are becoming increasingly common. As a crucial link in ensuring efficient livestock feeding, the performance of feed delivery systems directly impacts farming efficiency and costs. Segmented feed pipes, with their advantages of easy transportation, installation, and flexible layout, have become an important component of feed delivery systems.
[0003] Existing segmented livestock feed pipes generally use threaded or flanged connections. This requires specialized tools such as wrenches and sockets for installation and disassembly, demanding a high level of skill from operators. Furthermore, flange installation requires precise alignment, and disassembly necessitates loosening multiple bolts sequentially, making the process cumbersome and complex. This connection method makes feed pipe maintenance time-consuming and labor-intensive. If the feed pipe experiences blockages or damage, maintenance personnel cannot respond quickly, delaying the repair of the feed delivery system. At the same time, the difficulty in disassembly and assembly consumes a significant amount of manpower and time, directly disrupting the normal feeding rhythm of livestock, reducing breeding efficiency, and ultimately leading to a substantial increase in breeding operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a segmented, quick-release livestock feed pipe connection structure.
[0005] The segmented quick-release livestock feed pipe connection structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A segmented quick-release livestock feed pipe connection structure includes a feed pipe body, the number of feed pipe bodies is set to at least one, and each feed pipe body has a connection component at both ends.
[0007] The connecting assembly includes a docking hole and a plug rod. The docking hole and plug rod quickly connect two tube bodies by plugging them in. Each tube body has a collar on one side, which fixes the docking hole and plug rod by rotating.
[0008] Furthermore, the number of docking holes and insertion rods is set to multiple, with each docking hole being inserted into a corresponding insertion rod, and each insertion rod having a fixing hole inside.
[0009] Furthermore, each mating hole has an opening on one side, and each opening has an insert block inside. The cross-sectional shape of each insert block is set as trapezoidal, and the structure of one side of the opening is adapted to the structure of the corresponding fixing hole.
[0010] Furthermore, each docking hole has a slot on one side, each insert block has a limiting plate fixedly connected to one side, each limiting plate is slidably connected to the corresponding slot, and each limiting plate has a spring fixedly connected between one side of the limiting plate and the inner wall of the corresponding slot.
[0011] Furthermore, each insert has one side extending through the corresponding port to the outside of the material tube body, and each material tube body has one side connected to a threaded tube, the outer wall of which is threadedly connected to the corresponding collar.
[0012] Furthermore, each collar is inclined on the side closest to the insert block, and the structure of each insert block is adapted to the structure of the corresponding collar.
[0013] The above technical solution enables the rapid and convenient installation and disassembly of livestock feed pipes.
[0014] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided on one side of the material tube body, and a sealing groove is provided at the end of the material tube body away from the sealing ring. The sealing ring and the sealing groove are inserted into each other, and the sealing ring and the sealing groove are in an interference fit.
[0015] The above technical solutions improve the sealing performance and reliability of the material pipe body.
[0016] Furthermore, each collar has anti-slip ridges on its outer wall.
[0017] The above technical solution makes it easier to apply force and less prone to slippage when rotating the collar.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 A segmented quick-release livestock feed pipe connection structure includes a feed pipe body 1, the number of feed pipe bodies 1 is set to at least one, and each feed pipe body 1 has a connection component at both ends.
[0029] The connecting assembly includes a docking hole 2 and a plug rod 3. The docking hole 2 and the plug rod 3 are used to quickly connect two material tube bodies 1 by plugging them in. Each material tube body 1 has a collar 11 on one side. The collar 11 is fixed to the docking hole 2 and the plug rod 3 by rotating.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-5The number of docking holes 2 and insert rods 3 is set to multiple. Each docking hole 2 is inserted into a corresponding insert rod 3. Each insert rod 3 has a fixing hole 4 inside. Each docking hole 2 has a through hole 5 on one side. Each through hole 5 has an insert block 6 inside. The cross-sectional shape of each insert block 6 is set to trapezoidal. The structure of one side of the through hole 5 is adapted to the structure of the corresponding fixing hole 4. Each docking hole 2 has a slot 7 on one side. Each insert block 6 has a limiting plate 8 fixedly connected to one side. Each limiting plate 8 is slidably connected to the corresponding slot 7. A spring 9 is fixedly connected between one side of each limiting plate 8 and the inner wall of the corresponding slot 7. One side of each insert block 6 extends through the corresponding through hole 5 to the outside of the material tube body 1. Each material tube body 1 has a threaded tube 10 connected to one side. The outer wall of each threaded tube 10 is threadedly connected to the corresponding collar 11. The side of each collar 11 near the insert block 6 is inclined. The structure of each insert block 6 is adapted to the structure of the corresponding collar 11.
[0031] The connecting component enables the quick installation and disassembly of two tube bodies 1. The specific operation method is as follows: when installing the two tube bodies 1, insert multiple insert rods 3 of one tube body 1 into multiple docking holes 2 of the other tube body 1, and simultaneously insert multiple insert rods 3 and docking holes 2 for initial positioning.
[0032] Then rotate the collar 11. Since the collar 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded tube 10, the rotating collar 11 moves along the axial direction of the threaded tube 10. Since the side of the collar 11 closest to the insert 6 is inclined, its inclined surface pushes the insert 6 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 9, so that the insert 6 moves along the through 5 towards the fixing hole 4 until one side of the insert 6 is inserted into the fixing hole 4, thereby fixing the two material tube bodies 1.
[0033] When disassembling the two tube bodies 1, rotate the collar 11 in the opposite direction. The pushing force of the collar 11 on the insert 6 disappears. The elastic force of the spring 9 pushes the limiting plate 8 to drive the insert 6 out of the fixing hole 4. At this time, the insert rod 3 can be easily pulled out of the docking hole 2, thereby completing the separation of the tube body 1.
[0034] The integrated feed pipe body 1 connection structure enables quick and convenient installation and disassembly of livestock feed pipes without the need for specialized tools, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency of feed pipes for farmers and shortening the time for layout adjustments and fault repairs. Furthermore, the combination of multiple inserts 3 and connecting holes 2, along with the double fixing mechanism of insert blocks 6 inserted into fixing holes 4, enhances the stability of the connection, effectively resisting vibrations and external interference within the farm and preventing feed leakage. Simultaneously, the spring-reset insert blocks 6 simplify the disassembly process. Combined with the threaded pipe 10 and collar 11, the connection structure is durable, thereby improving the convenience, reliability, and practicality of livestock feed pipe connections, and ultimately reducing farming operating costs.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A sealing ring 12 is provided on one side of the material tube body 1, and a sealing groove 13 is provided at the end of the material tube body 1 away from the sealing ring 12. The sealing ring 12 and the sealing groove 13 are inserted into each other and are in an interference fit.
[0036] By setting the sealing ring 12 and the sealing groove 13, feed dust can be effectively prevented from overflowing and external moisture and dust can be prevented from entering, thus avoiding the deterioration of the breeding environment due to feed pipe leakage and improving the sealing performance and reliability of the feed pipe body 1.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 Each collar 11 has anti-slip ridges 14 on its outer wall.
[0038] The anti-slip ridges 14 increase the friction between the tube body and the collar 11, making it easier to apply force and less prone to slippage when rotating the collar 11, thus making it easier to install and disassemble the tube body 1.
[0039] Working principle: When installing two material tube bodies 1, multiple insert rods 3 of one material tube body 1 are inserted into multiple docking holes 2 of the other material tube body 1, and the multiple insert rods 3 and docking holes 2 are simultaneously inserted for initial positioning.
[0040] Then rotate the collar 11. Since the collar 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded tube 10, the rotating collar 11 moves along the axial direction of the threaded tube 10. Since the side of the collar 11 closest to the insert 6 is inclined, its inclined surface pushes the insert 6 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 9, so that the insert 6 moves along the through 5 towards the fixing hole 4 until one side of the insert 6 is inserted into the fixing hole 4, thereby fixing the two material tube bodies 1.
[0041] When disassembling the two tube bodies 1, rotate the collar 11 in the opposite direction. The pushing force of the collar 11 on the insert 6 disappears. The elastic force of the spring 9 pushes the limiting plate 8 to drive the insert 6 out of the fixing hole 4. At this time, the insert rod 3 can be easily pulled out of the docking hole 2, thereby completing the separation of the tube body 1.
[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
