Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock feeding trough technology, specifically to a multifunctional feeding trough for livestock farming and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Indwelling livestock is a common large-scale livestock farming method. Unlike free-range grazing, indwelling offers advantages such as saving land resources, ease of management, reduced disease transmission, high economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, and flexibility. In indwelling livestock, feeding troughs are primarily used for uniform feeding. Common feeding troughs are typically rectangular containers placed outside the livestock enclosure; farmers simply pour feed into the trough. However, existing feeding troughs have certain shortcomings: First, indwelling livestock have limited activity levels, and feeding is generally done in small, frequent amounts to avoid food accumulation. This necessitates frequent handling by the farmer, resulting in a heavy workload. Second, for livestock suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, special treatment is required, such as mixing in medications or concentrates. Existing feeding troughs do not have the capability to provide individual special feeds for sick livestock. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a multifunctional feeding trough for livestock farming and its method of use, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This multi-functional feeding trough for livestock farming, by installing a mixer and a main drive component next to the trough, can automatically mix feed and evenly distribute it into the trough, which is conducive to automatic feeding and reduces the workload of the breeder. Secondly, during the feeding process, the main drive component and the auxiliary drive component work together to insert a partition into the trough, thereby isolating sick livestock.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] As described in the background section, there are shortcomings in the existing technology. In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a multifunctional feeding trough for livestock farming and its usage method.

[0033] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A multifunctional feeding trough for livestock farming includes a base 1 and a side rail 2 fixed to the edge of the base 1. A bracket 101 and a platform 102 are fixed on the top of the base 1. A feeding trough 103 is installed inside the bracket 101. A gate 21 corresponding to the position of the platform 102 is installed on the side rail 2. Multiple feeding ports 22 are also provided on the side rail 2, and the multiple feeding ports 22 are all corresponding to the position of the feeding trough 103. A mixer 3 and a main drive assembly 4 are provided on the side of the base 1 away from the gate 21. A partition 5 and a secondary drive assembly 6 are installed on the mixer 3.

[0034] The mixer 3 includes a movable seat 31, a tank 32 mounted on the movable seat 31, and a stirrer 33 mounted inside the tank 32. The mixer 3 is used to prepare feed.

[0035] The main drive assembly 4 is connected to the mixer 3 in a transmission manner, and the main drive assembly 4 is used to drive the mixer 3 to move along the feed trough 103.

[0036] The partition 5 is configured as two and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the tank 32. The auxiliary drive assembly 6 is connected to the partition 5 in a transmission manner. The auxiliary drive assembly 6 is used to drive the partition 5 to move into the feed trough 103, thereby isolating and feeding sick livestock.

[0037] Before feeding, the mixer 3 operates and prepares the feed. When feeding is needed, the main drive component 4 operates, driving the mixer 3 to move along the feed trough 103 and evenly distributing the feed into the feed trough 103. During feeding, the main drive component 4 operates again and drives the mixer 3 to move in front of the sick livestock that is eating. The auxiliary drive component 6 operates, driving the two partitions 5 to move into the feed trough 103 to isolate the sick livestock. Then the mixer 3 operates and discharges special feed into the feed trough 103 between the two partitions 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, the livestock is preferably set as sheep. The side fence 2 is set vertically. The base 1, side fence 2, bracket 101, feeding platform and gate 21 are all made of aluminum alloy rods welded together. The feed trough 103 is used not only for feeding but also for feeding livestock drinking water. The two ends of the feed trough 103 are installed in the bracket 101 through the rotating shaft. A drive motor is also fixed on the bracket 101. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to the rotating shaft at the end of the feed trough 103, thereby driving the feed trough to automatically flip so as to pour out excess feed or debris. In actual installation, the side fence 2 is placed directly on one side of the breeding room and used as a fence. The gate 21 can be opened and closed manually to facilitate the entry and exit of the breeder. The initial position of the feed mixer 3 is directly opposite the gate 21.

[0039] When in use, the mixer 3 is started in advance to automatically prepare ordinary feed. When feeding, the main drive component 4 is turned on, driving the mixer 3 to move along the feed trough 103. At the same time, the mixer 3 evenly discharges feed into the feed trough 103. Each feeding port 22 is only large enough for one animal to reach into the feed trough 103, thus realizing automated and orderly feeding. Meanwhile, the mixer 3 automatically prepares special feed for sick animals. When feeding, the main drive component 4 is started again, driving the mixer 3 to move in front of the sick animal to eat. Then the auxiliary drive component 6 is started. After the auxiliary drive component 6 is turned on, it drives the two partitions 5 to move into the feed trough 103, which is located on both sides of the head of the sick animal, separating the sick animal from the adjacent animals. Finally, the mixer 3 is turned on to put special feed into the feed trough 103 between the two partitions 5 to feed the sick animal in a targeted manner.

[0040] By installing a mixer 3 and a main drive assembly 4 next to the feed trough 103, feed can be automatically prepared and evenly distributed into the feed trough 103, which facilitates automatic feeding and reduces the workload of the breeder. Secondly, during the feeding process, the main drive assembly 4 and the auxiliary drive assembly 6 work together to insert a partition 5 into the feed trough 103, thereby isolating sick livestock. Then, the mixer 3 can be used to feed the sick livestock with special feed, which is beneficial for feeding and treating sick livestock individually, improving treatment efficiency and reducing the probability of disease transmission.

[0041] Example 2: See Figure 1 and Figure 2Unlike the above embodiments, the main drive assembly 4 includes a transverse slide rail 41 fixed to the edge of the base 1. A transverse motor 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the transverse slide rail 41. A screw 43 is fixed to the output end of the transverse motor 42. The screw 43 extends into the transverse slide rail 41 and is rotatably connected to both ends of the slide rail. A slider 44 is threaded onto the screw 43. The slider 44 is rotatably connected to the transverse slide rail 41. The slider 44 is fixedly connected to the edge of the movable seat 31. A roller is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable seat 31. The tank 32 is disposed above the movable seat 31. A support frame 34 is fixed between the bottom of the tank 32 and the movable seat 31. A discharge port 35 is provided at the bottom of the tank 32. A screw conveyor 36 is installed on the discharge port 35. The agitator 33 includes a vertical motor 331 fixed to the top of the tank 32. The output shaft of the vertical motor 331 extends into the tank 32 and is fixedly attached to a stirring rod 332.

[0042] The screw conveyor 36 and the stirring rod 332 are existing technologies. They can discharge the feed in the tank 32 into the feeding trough 103 in a quantitative manner. When the vertical motor 331 is running, it drives the stirring rod 332 to rotate, which can realize the mixing of raw materials.

[0043] When in use, the raw materials are put into the tank 32. After the vertical motor 331 is started, it drives the stirring rod 332 to rotate and mix the raw materials to achieve feed preparation. Then the horizontal motor 42 is started. After the horizontal motor 42 runs, it drives the screw 43 to rotate. When the screw 43 rotates, it drives the slider 44 to move along the horizontal slide rail 41. When the slider 44 moves, it drives the movable seat 31 to move, which in turn drives the support frame 34 and the tank 32 to move. At the same time as the tank 32 moves, the screw conveyor 36 runs and evenly discharges the feed into the trough 103.

[0044] By setting up a horizontal motor 42, a vertical motor 331, and a screw conveyor 36, the automatic preparation and uniform feeding of feed can be achieved. Compared with manual operation, the workload is smaller, the efficiency is higher, and the amount of feed fed is more accurate and uniform.

[0045] Example 3, see Figure 3 Unlike the above embodiments, the top of the tank body 32 is fixed with a plurality of storage tanks 321, the bottom of the storage tank 321 is fixed with an output pipe 322, the output pipe 322 extends into the tank body 32, and a solenoid valve 323 is provided on the output pipe 322. The storage tank 321 is used to inject feed raw materials into the tank body 32.

[0046] The storage tanks 321 contain different types of medicines or raw materials. Different types of raw materials can be added into the tanks 321 to enrich the diversity of feed and match the different feeding needs of livestock.

[0047] Example 4, see Figure 3 Unlike the above embodiments, the top wall of the tank 32 is fixed with a feeding funnel 324, the bottom end of the feeding funnel 324 extends into the inside of the tank 32 and is fixed with a plate 325, and a knife 333 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 332. The knife 333 is flush with the plate 325 and is used to cut plant feed.

[0048] The feeding funnel 324 is used to feed raw materials such as plant stems, vines, and leaves into the tank 32. When in use, if the raw material is large, the vertical motor 331 is started, which drives the blade 333 on the stirring rod 332 to rotate. When the raw material is fed into the feeding funnel 324, it can be chopped.

[0049] By setting up the feeding funnel 324, plate 325 and blade 333, it is beneficial to chop the raw materials when feeding plant materials. The chopped raw materials are easier to prepare and easier for livestock to digest.

[0050] Example 5, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Unlike the above embodiments, the support frame 34 is fixedly connected to base shafts 37 on both sides. The partition 5 includes a strip plate 51, and a toothed ring 52 is fixed to one end of the strip plate 51. The strip plate 51 and the toothed ring 52 are rotatably connected to the base shafts 37. A beam plate 53 is provided at the end of the strip plate 51 away from the toothed ring 52. A scraper 54 is slidably connected to the inner side of the beam plate 53. A return spring 55 is fixedly connected between the edge of the scraper 54 and the edge of the beam plate 53. The auxiliary drive assembly 6 includes an electric push rod 61 fixed on the support frame 34. A connecting frame 62 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 61. The connecting frame 62 is vertically slidably connected to the support frame 34. A rack 63 is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting frame 62. The rack 63 meshes with the toothed ring 52.

[0051] Among them, two partitions 5 are respectively installed on two base shafts 37, the distance between the two partitions 5 corresponds to the width of the feeding port 22, the shape of the scraper 54 away from the beam plate 53 matches the shape of the inner wall of the feeding trough 103, and the electric push rod 61 is set vertically.

[0052] When in use, after the tank 32 moves to the designated position, the electric push rod 61 is activated. The electric push rod 61 extends and drives the connecting frame 62 to slide upward. The connecting frame 62 drives the rack 63 to move upward. The rack 63 drives the gear ring 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the partition 5 to swing. After the partition 5 swings, the beam plate 53 and the scraper 54 move into the trough 103. The scraper 54 is close to the inner bottom wall of the trough 103, and the return spring 55 is compressed by the scraper 54. The two partitions 5 separate the feeding area of ​​the sick livestock from the feeding area of ​​the adjacent livestock, which is conducive to feeding the sick livestock separately. In addition, after feeding, the main drive component 4 is operated and drives the tank 32 to move. At this time, the tank 32 drives the partition 5, which is still located inside the trough 103, to move. When the partition 5 moves, it can scrape off the feed residue adhering to the inner wall of the trough 103.

[0053] The secondary drive assembly 6 can drive the partition 5 to move into the feed trough 103, which facilitates the isolation of the feeding area and separate feeding of sick livestock. At the same time, the partition 5 located inside the feed trough 103 moves along the feed trough 103 under the drive of the main drive assembly 4, which facilitates the removal of feed residues adhering to the bottom wall of the feed trough 103, and avoids the accumulation of residual feed and mold, which would harm the health of livestock. By setting a spring, the elasticity of the spring makes the scraper 54 stick tightly to the inner bottom wall of the feed trough 103, resulting in better cleaning effect.

[0054] Example 6, see Figures 6-8 Unlike the above embodiments, the feeding port 22 includes an upper wide opening area and a lower narrow opening area, which are connected and gradually narrow in width. A vertically movable limiting frame 7 is installed on the surface of the side fence 2. The limiting frame 7 is used to restrict the movement of the livestock's head during feeding. Two vertical sleeves 8 are fixed on the side fence 2. Vertical rods 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the limiting frame 7. The vertical rods 9 are inserted into the vertical sleeves 8. A locking component for locking the limiting frame 7 is installed on the side fence 2. The locking component includes a horizontal sleeve 10 fixed on the side fence 2. A limiting pin 11 is disassembled inside the horizontal sleeve 10. A push spring 12 is fixed between the end of the limiting pin 11 and the horizontal sleeve 10. The push spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting pin 11.

[0055] Among them, the width of the wide mouth area is greater than the head of the livestock, and the width of the narrow mouth area is less than the head of the livestock but greater than the neck of the livestock. When the livestock lowers its head to eat, its neck is just located in the narrow mouth area. In the initial state, the limiting frame 7 is attached to the limiting pin 11.

[0056] When using this device, if livestock need to be vaccinated, pull the limiting pin 11 while the livestock are eating to release the support of the limiting frame 7. The limiting frame 7 will move and fall under the action of gravity, thus blocking the wide area of ​​the feeding opening 22 and preventing the livestock's head from moving back, thereby restricting the livestock's movement and facilitating the vaccination work. After the vaccination work is completed, lift the limiting frame 7 and pull the limiting pin 11 again so that the limiting pin 11 is supported at the bottom of the limiting frame 7 again.

[0057] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
