To facilitate animal use, the shape of the feeding trough is generally designed to be an inverted trapezoid or arc. This can expose the corners of the trough as much as possible to facilitate animals to eat food in this position. However, this structural design will cause the feeding trough to be shallow and the storage capacity of the feeding trough to be small, resulting in workers having to add feed multiple times, which increases labor intensity.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integrated connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or they can refer to internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances. This embodiment is written in a progressive manner.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a feeding trough for animal feeding used in animal husbandry of the present invention comprises a base 1 having two sides, the two sides being vertical and opposite to each other, two rotating columns 2 being oppositely arranged in the base 1, and the rotating columns 2 rotating in the base 1, a baffle 3 being provided at the bottom of each rotating column 2, and a supporting plate 4 being provided between the two baffles 3; The two side walls of the base 1, the two baffles 3 and the support plate 4 form a material trough with an upward opening. A flexible lining 5 is laid in the material trough. The bottom of the support plate 4 is connected to the base 1 through a number of elastic bodies 6. In the present invention, the shape of the base 1 can be as follows Figure 3The bow is shown in the figure, with its bottom horizontal and left and right sides vertical, and the left and right sides are used as side supports; the two baffles 3 are respectively located on the front and back sides of the base 1, and together with the side supports, they form a rectangle, and the bottom of the rectangle is blocked by the support plate 4, so that the side supports, the two baffles 3 and the support plate 4 can together form a trough to store feed; the rotating column 2 is mainly used to provide support for the baffle 3, and when the rotating column 2 rotates, it can drive the baffle 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the shape of the trough; the elastic body 6 is mainly used to provide support for the support plate 4. When the feed is placed in the trough, due to the gravity of the feed, the feed will press the elastic body 6 through the support plate 4, so that the elastic body 6 is compressed. When the amount of food in the trough is reduced, the elastic body 6 can push the supporting plate 4 to move upward gradually, so that there is always feed at the opening of the trough, which is convenient for the animal to eat, and avoids the traditional method in which the animal's head needs to reach into the trough to eat the feed as the food in the trough decreases; combined with the rotation of the baffle 3 and the movement of the supporting plate 4, the overall shape of the trough can be changed to achieve the function of the trough deformation, and this deformation can help push the feed toward the opening of the trough. For the feed at the angle between the baffle 3 and the supporting plate 4, the deformation method can also be used to push the feed at this position toward the opening of the trough, thereby avoiding the disadvantage that the animal cannot eat the feed hidden in the trough; The provision of the flexible lining 5 prevents the feed from directly contacting the baffle 3 and the support plate 4, thereby facilitating the movement of the baffle 3 and the support plate 4, preventing the feed from entering between the baffle 3 and the support plate 4 and causing a jam. Furthermore, the provision of the flexible lining 5 facilitates the collection of excess feed. The flexible lining 5 may be made of cloth, a soft rubber layer, or the like. During use, workers adjust the rotating column 2 and baffle 3 to the specified position, lay the flexible lining 5 in the trough, and then add feed to the trough. As the feed increases, its weight increases, and the feed presses the support plate 4 downward, and the support plate 4 compresses the elastic body 6. The flexible lining 5 always plays a role in isolating the feed and the trough. As the animal eats the feed in the trough, the weight of the feed gradually decreases, and the elastic body 6 pushes the support plate 4 upward, and rotates the rotating column 2, so that the baffle 3 rotates and pushes the feed in the trough. In this way, the baffle 3 and the support plate 4 are used to make the feed in the trough move toward the opening position of the trough, making it easier for the animal to eat. In actual operation, the feed trough composed of the side panels, the baffle 3 and the support plate 4 can be used alone, or the side panels and the flexible lining 5 can be used alone, both of which can achieve the deformation function and the function of gathering feed. By adopting a deformable feed trough, it is convenient to increase the storage capacity of the feed trough so that the feed is actively gathered towards the opening of the feed trough, thereby facilitating direct consumption by the animals and avoiding the tedious operation of the animals having to put their heads into the feed trough to eat as the feed decreases. At the same time, since the feed trough has a larger storage capacity, it can avoid the need for workers to add feed multiple times, saving manpower. By providing the flexible lining 5, the feed can be isolated, so that the feed trough can also be used for feed with smaller particle sizes. It should be pointed out that the use of the flexible lining 5 can convert the deformation of the feed trough into more delicate local movement. For example, when the support plate 4 arches upward, the flexible lining 5 forms a slope due to stretching, and guides the feed to move toward the opening of the feed trough through surface tension and friction, making up for the dead corners that are difficult to reach with the rigid structure. This rigid-flexible structural combination realizes dual guidance of the feed and improves the convenience of using the feed trough.

[0019] Furthermore, the shape of the trough is a trapezoid whose inner dimension is larger than its diameter; Since the trough can be deformed by the movement of the baffle 3 and the support plate 4, the corner position inside the trough will no longer affect the use of the trough and the movement of the animal eating the feed in the trough. The feed in the corner position can be exposed by the deformation of the trough, thereby directly increasing the size of the internal space of the trough and setting the shape of the trough to a trapezoidal shape to store more feed. In actual use, the shape of the trough can also be set to an arc shape larger than a semicircle, or any other shape with an inner dimension larger than the opening dimension.

[0020] Furthermore, the baffle 3 includes a first side plate, a second side plate and a slat 10. The first side plate is a flat plate 7, and the second side plate is a plurality of plug-ins 8 arranged in a straight line. One end of the flat plate 7 is connected to the rotating column 2, and the other end of the flat plate 7 is rotatably provided with a connecting seat 9. One end of each plug-in plate 8 passes through the connecting seat 9 and is slidably connected to each other. The other end of each plug-in plate 8 is rotatably mounted on the slat 10, and the side of the support plate 4 slides through the slat 10. In the present invention, since the baffle 3 rotates on the rotating column 2, the connection position of the baffle 3 on the support plate 4 needs to be able to move on the support plate 4, that is, the slats 10 need to slide on the support plate 4, thereby ensuring the integrity of the structure and normal deformation movement. The support plate 4 can use several elastic bodies 6 at its bottom for guidance and limitation, thereby preventing the support plate 4 from moving randomly in the horizontal direction; the first side plate and the second side plate can be distributed at an angle through the connecting seat 9, such as Figure 4 As shown, this can make the shape of the trough into Figure 2 The structure shown is that the two first side plates form a bucket shape with the opening facing downward, and the two second side plates form a square shape, thereby further increasing the volume of the trough; It should be noted that, since the trough has a flexible lining 5 inside, the second side plate can be set as a structure of a plurality of inserting plates 8. The flexible lining 5 will block the gap between two adjacent inserting plates 8. In this way, the synchronous guiding function of the plurality of inserting plates 8 can be utilized to make the slats 10 and the support plate 4 move more smoothly. When the trough is deformed, the rotating column 2 rotates, and the rotating column 2 drives the flat plate 7 to rotate synchronously. The flat plate 7 uses the connecting seat 9 and several plug plates 8 to push the slats 10 to move on the support plate 4, so that the connection position of the baffle 3 and the support plate 4 is close to the middle of the trough, achieving the purpose of gathering feed. When the support plate 4 moves in the vertical direction, the support plate 4 will push the plug plates 8 to slide on the connecting seat 9 through the slats 10, thereby ensuring that the deformation movement of the trough is carried out normally.

[0021] Furthermore, a connecting rod 11 is connected between two adjacent plug plates 8, and the connecting rod 11 is connected to the slats 10 via a leaf spring 12; Since the inserting plate 8 can rotate on the slats 10, when the flat plate 7 rotates, the inserting plate 8 may also rotate on the slats 10, so that the slats 10 cannot slide on the supporting plate 4, so that the flat plate 7 rotates. Figure 2 Taking the left side baffle 3 as an example, when the flat plate 7 on the baffle 3 rotates from tilted to the left to vertical, the flat plate 7 will approach the corresponding plug-in plate 8. When the flat plate 7 continues to rotate to the right, the plug-in plate 8 will abut against the flat plate 7, and the flat plate 7 pushes the plug-in plate 8 to tilt. Therefore, the plug-in plate 8 needs to be rotatably connected with the slat 10. Combining the above two situations, in order to ensure the normal use of the structure, a connecting rod 11 and a leaf spring 12 can be installed between the plug-in plate 8 and the slat 10. The elastic force of the leaf spring 12 is used to prevent the plug-in plate 8 from tilting or rotating at will in the natural state. Only when it abuts against the flat plate 7 can it rotate with the help of the thrust of the flat plate 7.

[0022] Furthermore, the slats 10 are connected to the bottom of the base 1 via a number of synchronization structures; The synchronous structure includes two oblique arms 13, both of which are inclined and face each other, one end of the oblique arm 13 being rotatably connected to the base 1, and the other end of the oblique arm 13 being rotatably connected to the corresponding slat 10; When the elastic body 6 pushes the support plate 4 to move in the vertical direction, the support plate 4 will use the slats 10 to push the inclined arm 13 to rotate. Conversely, the inclined arm 13 will pull the slats 10 to slide on the support plate 4. The slats 10 can use the plug plates 8, connecting seats 9 and flat plates 7 to push the rotating column 2 to rotate. Therefore, as the feed in the trough decreases, the elastic body 6 can be used to push the support plate 4 and the baffle 3 to move synchronously, thereby realizing the deformation function of the trough, and there is no need to set a separate power for the baffle 3.

[0023] Furthermore, an arc-shaped guide rail 14 is provided on the outer wall of each side of the base 1, and two slide seats 15 are provided on the arc-shaped guide rail 14 for relative sliding. A counterweight rod 16 is provided at both ends of the flexible lining 5, and both ends of the counterweight rod 16 are connected to the corresponding slide seats 15 on the two arc-shaped guide rails 14; When the trough is filled with feed, the feed presses the flexible lining 5, so that the slide 15 cannot slide on the arc guide rail 14. When the feed decreases, as the trough deforms, the gravity of the slide 15 and the counterweight rod 16 can be used to pull the excess flexible lining 5 in the trough out of the trough, thereby avoiding wrinkles on the flexible lining 5 in the trough.

[0024] Furthermore, a plurality of slide grooves 17 are provided on the side walls of each flat plate 7, and a slider 18 is slidably provided in each slide groove 17, and the slider 18 is connected to the flexible lining 5; In order to ensure that the flexible lining 5 always fits the surface of the flat plate 7 when the trough is deformed, the flexible lining 5 and the flat plate 7 can be connected by the chute 17 and the slider 18 to avoid hollowing between the flexible lining 5 and the flat plate 7. When the counterweight rod 16 pulls the flexible lining 5 due to gravity, the flexible lining 5 can pull the slider 18 to move in the chute 17; The slider 18 can be connected to the flexible lining 5 by bonding.

[0025] Furthermore, two gears 19 are rotatably provided on each side of the base 1 , the two gears 19 mesh with each other and are connected by a spring 20 , and the gears 19 are connected to the corresponding slide 15 by a push rod 21 ; By using the two gears 19 and the two push rods 21, the two slides 15 on the side panels can move synchronously, thereby ensuring that the two counterweight rods 16 can move synchronously, and preventing the flexible lining 5 from being laid or pulled unevenly, causing one counterweight rod 16 to move to the opening of the trough and block the opening; the spring piece 20 can provide auxiliary thrust for the two gears 19, thereby helping the two counterweight rods 16 to keep the flexible lining 5 in a taut state, making it easier to pull the excess support plate 4 out of the trough; Since the two slides 15 share a common arc guide rail 14 , when the two gears 19 drive the two slides 15 to move synchronously, one end of the push rod 21 can be rotatably connected to the slide 15 , and a slot is provided on the gear 19 , and the other end of the push rod 21 can be slidably inserted into the slot.

[0026] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
