Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock and poultry feeding trough technology, and in particular to a livestock and poultry feeding trough with an anti-scraping partition. Background Technology

[0002] Livestock and poultry feed troughs are containers used to hold feed for livestock and poultry such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks during the breeding process. They are usually designed in different shapes and sizes according to different types of livestock and poultry, growth stages, and breeding methods. Common materials include metal, plastic, and cement. They can be placed in livestock and poultry houses or designated breeding areas to facilitate the livestock and poultry to obtain feed. At the same time, they help control the amount of feed used, reduce waste, and keep the feed clean. Livestock and poultry feed troughs are mainly composed of a hopper and a receiving trough. The receiving trough is fixed at the bottom opening of the hopper. When in use, feed is poured into the hopper from the top, and the feed flows from the bottom opening of the hopper into the receiving trough.

[0003] When livestock and poultry feed troughs are in use, the livestock and poultry are crowded together in the same feeding trough, and they may fight over food, resulting in injuries. Therefore, this application provides a livestock and poultry feed trough with a partition to prevent fighting over food in order to meet this need. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a livestock and poultry feeder with an anti-fighting partition to solve the problem of livestock and poultry fighting over food, which can lead to injuries.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A livestock and poultry feed trough with an anti-scrambling partition includes a feed hopper, the bottom opening of which is rotatably connected to a receiving trough via a hinge, and further includes:

[0007] The rotating fixing mechanism includes several partition plates rotatably connected to the side of the hopper. A steel wire rope is fixed to the end of the receiving trough, and a fixing component is provided at the end of the steel wire rope. When the hopper is in use, the fixing component is used to attach the receiving trough to the bottom of the several partition plates. When cleaning, the fixing component is loosened and the receiving trough is separated from the partition plates.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating shaft is movably inserted through the side of the hopper, and several partition plates are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft, the limiting plate is attached to the side of the hopper, and a connecting rod is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft away from the limiting plate, the connecting rod is attached to the side of the hopper.

[0010] Preferably, a handle is fixed to the end of the connecting rod, and the weight of the handle is greater than the total weight of the partition plates.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing component includes a square plate fixed at the top opening of the hopper, with an insertion hole at the top of the square plate and a rod fixed at the end of the wire rope. When the hopper is in use, the rod is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0012] Preferably, the square plate has a second insertion hole on the side away from the first insertion hole, and when the receiving groove is separated from the partition plate, the insertion rod is inserted into the second insertion hole.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the insertion rod is provided with a ball head, and the bottom of the insertion rod is arc-shaped.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the receiving trough is fixed with a protrusion, and when the receiving trough is in use, the partition plate is snapped onto the surface of the protrusion.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In the above scheme, by setting up partitions, wire ropes, and fixing components, when the hopper is in use, the fixing components tightly attach the receiving trough to the bottom of several partitions. The partitions divide the receiving trough into multiple independent areas, allowing different livestock and poultry to feed in their respective areas, effectively preventing fights among livestock and poultry over food, thus protecting them. During cleaning, the fixing components are first loosened to separate the receiving trough from the partitions, and the receiving trough is flipped downwards to reduce water residue in the trough after cleaning, improving cleaning convenience. The partitions are flipped upwards to avoid obstructing the cleaning of the changing trough and to allow for direct cleaning from above, making the operation more efficient. After cleaning, the partitions are flipped downwards first, and then the wire ropes are pulled to reattach the receiving trough to the bottom of the partitions. The wire ropes are then fixed with the fixing components. After fixing, the partitions and the receiving trough are interlocked, ultimately achieving bidirectional locking.

[0017] By setting up a pivot, connecting rod, and handle, the pivot provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the partition. When it is necessary to flip the partition upward, press the handle down. The handle drives the connecting rod to rotate downward, which in turn drives the pivot to rotate. The pivot then drives the partition to rotate upward, achieving rapid rotation of the partition. Furthermore, the weight of the handle is greater than the total weight of several partitions, so the weight of the handle can directly drive the partition to rotate upward. When cleaning the partition, there is no need to hold the partition by hand, making the operation more convenient.

[0018] By setting up the second insertion hole, when cleaning the partition plate, the insertion rod can be inserted into the second insertion hole to prevent the wire rope from slipping off the top of the hopper. When the wire rope needs to be pulled again, there is no need to bend over to pick up the insertion rod at the end of the wire rope, making the operation convenient.

[0019] By setting up protrusions, the arc shape of the protrusions can prevent the edges of the receiving trough from scratching livestock and poultry, thus protecting them. Secondly, the protrusions, which block the sides of the partition plate, can increase the connection strength between the partition plate and the receiving trough, preventing the partition plate from separating from the receiving trough during use and improving stability during use.

[0025] The following is a detailed description of a livestock and poultry feeding trough with an anti-scrambling feed partition provided by this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments; those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; and the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a livestock and poultry feed trough with an anti-scrambling partition, including a feed hopper 1, a feed receiving trough 2 rotatably connected to the bottom opening of the feed hopper 1 via a hinge, and further including:

[0027] The rotating fixing mechanism 3 includes several partition plates 4 rotatably connected to the side of the hopper 1. A steel wire rope 8 is fixed to the end of the receiving trough 2, and a fixing component is provided at the end of the steel wire rope 8. When the hopper 1 is in use, the fixing component holds the receiving trough 2 against the bottom of the partition plates 4. During cleaning, the fixing component is loosened, and the receiving trough 2 separates from the partition plates 4. The hopper 1 is used to store feed, and the receiving trough 2 receives feed falling from the hopper 1 for livestock and poultry to eat. The partition plates 4 separate the receiving trough 2... Divided into multiple independent areas, the feeding trough 2 is prevented from fighting over feed and the risk of injury is reduced. The steel wire rope 8 connects the feeding trough 2 to the fixing component. During use, the feeding trough 2 is fixed to the bottom of the partition plate 4 by the fixing component to ensure that the feeding trough 2 can stably receive feed. When cleaning, the fixing component is loosened, the feeding trough 2 can be flipped downwards, and the partition plate 4 can be flipped upwards to prevent the two from blocking each other. This makes it easy to thoroughly clean the inner wall of the feeding trough 2 and the surface of the partition plate 4. The flipped feeding trough 2 also reduces water residue and ensures the hygiene of the feeding trough.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, a rotating shaft 5 is movably passed through the side of the hopper 1, and several partition plates 4 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 5. The rotating shaft 5 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the partition plates 4, so that several partition plates 4 can rotate synchronously, avoiding uneven division of areas caused by the offset of a single partition plate 4.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, a limiting plate 14 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 5. The limiting plate 14 is attached to the side of the hopper 1. A connecting rod 6 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 5 away from the limiting plate 14. The connecting rod 6 is attached to the side of the hopper 1. The limiting plate 14 is attached to the side of the hopper 1, restricting the rotating shaft 5 from moving axially into the hopper 1, thus preventing the rotating shaft 5 from shifting and causing misalignment between the partition plate 4 and the receiving groove 2. The connecting rod 6 is attached to the side of the hopper 1, restricting the rotating shaft 5 from moving axially outward from the hopper 1. Together with the limiting plate 14, the rotating shaft 5 is axially positioned.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, a handle 7 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 6. The weight of the handle 7 is greater than the total weight of the partition plates 4. The handle 7 increases the force application area. The operator can easily rotate the shaft 5 by holding the handle 7, which will cause the partition plates 4 to flip. After releasing the handle 7, the handle 7 can automatically flip the connecting rod 6, the shaft 5 and the partition plates 4 upwards and maintain the flipped state by its own weight. There is no need to hold the partition plates 4 by hand, which frees up the hands for cleaning and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment, the fixing component includes a square plate 9 fixed at the top opening of the hopper 1. The top of the square plate 9 has an insertion hole 10. The end of the wire rope 8 is fixed with an insertion rod 12. When the hopper 1 is in use, the insertion rod 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 10, and the wire rope 8 is fixed by mechanical limiting, thereby pulling the receiving trough 2 tight and sticking it to the bottom of the partition plate 4, preventing the receiving trough 2 from overturning due to collisions with livestock and poultry, and ensuring the stability of the feeding process.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the square plate 9 has a second insertion hole 11 on the side away from the first insertion hole 10. When the receiving groove 2 is separated from the partition plate 4, the insertion rod 12 is inserted into the second insertion hole 11. During cleaning, the insertion rod 12 is pulled out from the first insertion hole 10 and inserted into the second insertion hole 11, which can fix the position of the wire rope 8 and prevent the insertion rod 12 from falling to the ground due to the weight of the wire rope 8.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the top of the plug rod 12 is provided with a ball head, and the bottom of the plug rod 12 is arc-shaped. The ball head at the top of the plug rod 12 increases the contact area with the hand, preventing the top of the plug rod 12 from scratching the fingers when plugging or unplugging. The arc-shaped structure at the bottom can guide the plug rod 12 to be smoothly inserted into the first socket 10 or the second socket 11 without precise alignment, thus improving the efficiency of plugging and unplugging.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, the end of the receiving groove 2 is fixed with a protrusion 13. When the receiving groove 2 is in use, the partition plate 4 is snapped onto the surface of the protrusion 13. The protrusion 13 provides a snapping point for the partition plate 4. When in use, the partition plate 4 is snapped onto the surface of the protrusion 13, which enhances the connection stability between the two.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, the feed hopper 1 can be installed in the livestock and poultry feeding area by welding or other means. Feed is added into the feed hopper 1 and falls into the receiving trough 2 through the bottom opening of the feed hopper 1. At this time, the receiving trough 2 is divided into different areas by several partitions 4. The livestock and poultry eat in their respective areas, and the partitions 4 prevent fighting for food.

[0036] When the receiving trough 2 needs to be cleaned, first pull out the insert rod 12 from the first insertion hole 10 and insert it into the second insertion hole 11 of the square plate 9 to fix the steel wire rope 8. The handle 7 drives the connecting rod 6 to rotate by its own weight, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 5 and the partition plate 4 to flip upward. Since the weight of the handle 7 is greater than the total weight of the partition plate 4, the partition plate 4 remains in the flipped state after the handle 7 is released. Then the receiving trough 2 also flips downward by its own weight. Then the inside of the receiving trough 2 and the surface of the partition plate 4 are cleaned. During the cleaning process, since the receiving trough 2 is in the flipped state, both sides of the receiving trough 2 are open, which can prevent water from accumulating in the receiving trough 2.

[0037] After cleaning, pull the insertion rod 12 out of the insertion hole 11, pull the wire rope 8, the wire rope 8 will drive the receiving groove 2 to rotate upward, at the same time, lift the handle 7 upward, the handle 7 will drive the connecting rod 6 to rotate upward, the connecting rod 6 will drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, the rotating shaft 5 will drive the partition plate 4 to rotate downward until the partition plate 4 is attached to the side of the hopper 1, and then until the upward rotating receiving groove 2 is attached to the bottom of the partition plate 4. At this time, the partition plate 4 is engaged with the surface of the protrusion 13 of the receiving groove 2. Insert the insertion rod 12 into the insertion hole 10 to continue use.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
