[0039] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Example:

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment discloses a food trough that is easy to clean, including a support 10, a trough body 20, a spray system 30, a drinking water system 40 and a water supply system 50. The trough body 20 and the spray system 30 are both mounted on the support 10, the drinking water system 40 is mounted in the trough body 20, and the water supply system 50 provides a water source for the spray system 30 and the drinking water system 40.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom of the support member 10 can be installed at the position where the feeding trough needs to be installed in the feeding circle, and the support member 10 and the feeding circle are detachably connected. The top of the support member 10 is rotatably connected to the top of one side of the trough body 20, so that the trough body 20 can rotate at least 180° around the top of the support member 10.

[0045] The spray end of the spray system 30 is installed on the support 10, and when the slot of the trough body 20 is in the slot, the spray end of the spray system 30 and the trough body 20 are respectively located on both sides of the support 10. At the same time, when the trough body 20 rotates around the support 10, the trough body 20 can be buckled on the spray end, so that the spray end can spray water around the inner wall of the trough body 20 to achieve a cleaning effect.

[0046] The drinking water system 40 includes a retractable water tank 41, which is installed in the tank body 20. After the water tank 41 is unfolded, it occupies more than 90% of the internal space of the tank body 20 to provide a space for drinking water. The water tank 41 can be retracted to one side of the tank body 20, leaving all the internal space of the tank body 20, thereby providing a space for food.

[0047] The water supply system 50 is connected to the sprinkler system 30 and the drinking water system 40 through two pipes, and provides water for both. Generally speaking, the water supply system 50 is provided with structures such as a water valve and a liquid level meter, and the water supply amount is controlled by the water valve, and the water storage amount in the water supply system 50 is controlled by the liquid level meter.

[0048] In the present technical solution, when food needs to be added to the tank body 20, the water tank 41 is retracted and the food is added to the tank body 20 (e.g. Figure 5 When cleaning is required, the tank body 20 is rotated so that the tank body 20 is buckled on the spray end of the spray system 30, so that the tank body 20 can be cleaned quickly (such as Figure 6 After cleaning, the tank body 20 can be turned over onto the support member 10.

[0049] When drinking water needs to be added to the tank body 20, the water tank 41 of the drinking water system 40 is unfolded so that it expands in the tank body 20, and drinking water (such as Figure 4 When food needs to be added to the tank body 20 again, the water tank 41 can be folded up.

[0050] The tank body 20 in the present application has a structure that can separate drinking water from food, and through this structure, the probability of bacterial growth is reduced. In addition, the food or food residue in the tank body 20 can be rinsed by simply turning it over, and after the rinsing is completed, the tank body 20 can be reversed again.

[0051] In one specific embodiment:

[0052] The water tank 41 is made of a soft and waterproof material, such as latex or polyethylene. The overall shape of the water tank 41 after unfolding is similar to the overall structure of the tank body 20. During the installation process, one side of the water tank 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the tank body 20, and the top of the tank body 20 on which the water tank 41 is installed is also rotatably connected to the top of the support 10. In addition, the other side of the water tank 41 is a hard plate 411, so that when driving the water tank 41 to unfold or fold, the two ends of the water tank 41 can be prevented from moving toward the middle thereof, causing unnecessary folding.

[0053] Specifically, the drinking water system 40 also includes a drinking water pipe 42 , one end of which is disposed above the water tank 41 and can transport drinking water into the water tank 41 after the water tank 41 is unfolded, and the other end of the drinking water pipe 42 is connected to the water supply system 50 .

[0054] In a preferred technical solution, the end of the drinking water pipe 42 is fixedly arranged on the plate body 411. Specifically, the drinking water system 40 further includes a straight pipe 43, a support rod 44, a valve body 45 and a hose 46.

[0055] The straight tube 43 is rotatably connected to the top of the plate body 411 and is arranged along the length direction of the top of the plate body 411. A plurality of small holes 431 are arranged on the straight tube 43. When the water tank 41 is unfolded, all the small holes 431 face one side of the inside of the water tank 41, and drinking water can be introduced into the water tank 41 through the small holes 431.

[0056] Also, see Figure 2 One end of the straight pipe 43 is closed, and the other end is connected to one end of the drinking water pipe 42 through a hose 46. The other end of the drinking water pipe 42 is arranged on the valve body 45, and is connected to the water pipe of the water supply system 50 through the valve body 45. The valve body 45 is mechanically rotated, and the drinking water pipe 42 is fixedly mounted on the rotating part of the valve body 45 (for the valve body 45, generally this rotating part is the handle of the valve body 45, and the valve body 45 can be opened and closed by rotating the handle).

[0057] In addition, a support rod 44 is vertically arranged on one end of the straight tube 43, and the end of the support rod 44 is connected to the straight tube 43. The support tube is located outside one end of the trough body 20, and the end of the support rod 44 away from the straight tube 43 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the bottom of this end of the trough body 20.

[0058] The extending direction of the drinking water pipe 42 on the rotating part of the valve body 45 is consistent with the length direction of the support rod 44, and a connecting rod 47 is provided between the support rod 44 and the drinking water pipe 42, and the two can be directly connected as one through the connecting rod 47. Therefore, in order to effectively rotate the valve body 45 and the support rod 44, during the installation process, the rotation axis of the rotating part of the valve body 45 and the rotation axis of the support rod 44 are designed to be a colinear structure.

[0059] In the present technical solution, since the straight tube 43 is rotatably connected to the top of the plate body 411, when the water tank 41 needs to be folded, the straight tube 43 is driven to move, so that the straight tube 43 and the plate body 411 rotate. When the two rotate, the support rod 44 is used as a rotation support, and the connection between the support rod 44 and the tank body 20 is used as the rotation axis.

[0060] When the water tank 41 is unfolded, the plate 411 contacts the front wall of the tank 20. During the rotation process, the support rod 44 uses the straight tube 43 to lift the plate 411 and separate it from the front wall of the tank 20. Under the action of gravity, the side of the plate 411 away from the straight tube 43 is always vertically downward, and when it rotates to approach the rear wall of the tank 20, the bottom of the plate 411 contacts the rear wall of the tank 20 first, and the top of the plate 411 contacts the rear wall of the tank 20 later, thereby ensuring that the plate 411 is attached to the rear wall of the tank 20.

[0061] In addition, when the water tank 41 is in the unfolded state, the valve body 45 is in the open state. During the rotation process, the support rod 44 directly drives the drinking water pipe 42 to rotate around the rotating part of the valve body 45 through the connecting rod 47, and drives the rotating part to rotate, so that the valve body 45 is closed. By designing a hose 46 between the straight pipe 43 and the drinking water pipe 42, the function is to provide sufficient movement margin for the straight pipe 43 when the tank body 20 rotates around the support member 10.

[0062] In another preferred technical solution, a mounting ring 48 is provided at each end of the top of the straight tube 43, and the two ends of the straight tube 43 are rotatably mounted on the two mounting rings 48. This solution provides a specific structure for the rotatable connection between the straight tube 43 and the plate body 411, but does not mean that the rotatable connection between the straight tube 43 and the plate body 411 is only this structure.

[0063] In another specific embodiment:

[0064] See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The spray system 30 includes an L-tube 31 and a spray head 32 , wherein the spray head 32 is disposed on one end of the L-tube 31 .

[0065] Specifically, one end of the L-tube 31 is fixedly mounted on the support 10 in the horizontal direction, and when the tank 20 is on the support 10 with the notch facing upward, the L-tube 31 and the tank 20 are respectively located on both sides of the support 10. The other end of the L-tube 31 is arranged upward and a nozzle 32 is arranged on this end of the L-tube 31.

[0066] The L-tube 31 is also connected to a pipeline of the water supply system 50 .

[0067] During operation, after the trough body 20 flips around the support member 10, the trough body 20 is buckled on one end of the L-tube 31 having the nozzle 32, and water is sprayed toward the inner wall of the trough body 20 through the nozzle 32 to achieve the purpose of cleaning. Therefore, in this embodiment, the nozzle 32 is the spray end of the spray system 30.

[0068] Preferably, one end of the L-tube 31 is connected to the support 10 in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the tank body 20, and the other end of the L-tube 31 extends upward in an inclined direction, and the nozzle 32 is installed at this end. Since the tank body 20 is in a slightly downward tilted state as a whole after turning around the support 10, the end of the L-tube 31 where the nozzle 32 is installed is set to an inclined structure, which can ensure that the nozzle 32 is in the middle of the tank body 20, so that the nozzle 32 has the best cleaning effect on the tank body 20.

[0069] In another preferred technical solution, a plurality of L-tubes 31 are arranged at equal intervals on the support member 10 along the length direction of the tank body 20, each L-tube 31 is provided with a nozzle 32, and all L-tubes 31 are connected to the water pipe of the water supply system 50. By providing a plurality of L-tubes 31, each part of the inner wall of the tank body 20 can be subjected to a strong water flow impact, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0070] In another specific embodiment:

[0071] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The water supply system 50 further includes a water tank 51, which has two compartments. The two compartments are respectively connected to the valve of the drinking water system 40 and the L pipe 31 of the sprinkler system 30 through a pipe. Liquid level gauges are provided in both compartments.

[0072] By separating the spray water from the drinking water, the pressure of water treatment can be reduced, wherein the water quality requirements of the spray water can be slightly lower than the water quality requirements of the drinking water.

[0073] In another specific embodiment:

[0074] The support 10 is an L-shaped structure, one section of which is horizontally arranged in the feeding circle where the trough 20 needs to be installed. The bottom of the trough 20 is placed on a section of the support 10 arranged in the horizontal direction, and one side of the top of the trough 20 is rotated and arranged on the top of the other section of the support.

[0075] By configuring the support member 10 to be an L-shaped structure, the installation contact surface between the entire trough body 20 and the feeding circle is improved, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0076] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
