Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, and in particular to a livestock feeding trough anti-scattering system. Background Art

[0002] At present, the livestock breeding industry is increasingly developing towards scale and automation. In this process, feed feeding efficiency and feed utilization rate have become important factors affecting breeding costs and management quality. Currently, common livestock feeding devices mostly adopt an open structure, and livestock complete the feeding process by directly eating feed in the trough.

[0003] In the actual implementation process, there are still some problems: However, during the feeding process of livestock, due to their large eating movements, feed is often carried out of the trough, resulting in a large amount of feed waste. Especially in large-scale farms, the cumulative effect of such waste is significant, which not only increases the feeding cost but also affects the cleaning and management of the site. In addition, although some feeding devices are equipped with simple anti-scattering structures, most of them fail to achieve automatic recovery of scattered feed. Recovery relies on manual cleaning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with a low degree of automation and poor feed reuse efficiency.

[0004] During the feeding process, feed can easily adhere to the inner wall or bottom of the trough due to moisture, accumulation and other problems, causing feed blockage, poor feeding, and even uneven feeding of livestock. The solutions to the above problems in the existing technology are relatively scattered, and there is a lack of a comprehensive anti-spillage system with a compact structure, automatic recovery of spilled feed, and auxiliary feeding and cleaning functions. Summary of the Invention

[0009] An anti-spill groove is provided on the front of the feeding trough, an installation groove is opened on the inner wall of the anti-spill groove, and one end of the conveyor belt passes through the installation groove.

[0010] The transmission rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough.

The material circulation mechanism 2 includes a conveyor belt 205, a baffle 204 and a conveying bracket 206. The conveying bracket 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough 1, the conveyor belt 205 is connected to the inside of the conveying bracket 206, and the baffle 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveyor belt 205. The auxiliary feeding mechanism 3 includes a knocking rod 306, a rubber rod 301 and a knocking block 302. One end of the knocking rod 306 is fixedly connected to the knocking block 302, the knocking block 302 is placed on one side of the rubber rod 301, and the rubber rod 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding trough 1.

[0022] Optionally, a motor 202 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the feeding trough 1, a transmission rod 209 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 202, and a spring rod 210 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 209. In actual implementation, the motor 202, as a power source, can provide a stable rotational driving force, and the transmission rod 209 efficiently transmits the rotational power output by the motor 202 to other structures connected thereto (such as the spring rod 210, the transmission wheel 309, etc.), ensuring the normal operation of the linkage mechanism. The rigid connection between the motor 202 and the feeding trough 1 can ensure the stability of the structure, reduce vibration and deflection during operation, and extend the service life of the equipment. Through this power output system, the unified drive of the entire cleaning structure and the material circulation system can be achieved, effectively improving the automation level and operational reliability of the system.

[0023] Optionally, the free end of the spring rod 210 is fixedly connected to the support plate 208, and the outer side of the support plate 208 is snap-connected to the cleaning brush 207, which is attached to the outer side of the baffle 204. In actual implementation, the motor 202, as a power source, can provide a stable rotational driving force. The transmission rod 209 efficiently transmits the rotational power output by the motor 202 to other structures connected thereto (such as the spring rod 210, the transmission wheel 309, etc.), ensuring the normal operation of the linkage mechanism. The rigid connection between the motor 202 and the feeding trough 1 can ensure the stability of the structure, reduce vibration and deflection during operation, and extend the service life of the equipment. Through this power output system, the entire cleaning structure and material circulation system can be uniformly driven, effectively improving the system's degree of automation and operational reliability.

[0024] Optionally, a spill prevention groove 201 is provided on the front of the feeding trough 1, and a mounting groove 203 is provided on the inner wall of the spill prevention groove 201, through which one end of the conveyor belt 205 passes. In actual implementation, the spill prevention groove 201 can promptly collect fallen feed and prevent it from being directly scattered on the ground or outside the trough. By providing the mounting groove 203 on the inner wall, one end of the conveyor belt 205 can penetrate into the groove, making it easier to transport the collected feed back into the feeding trough 1, thereby realizing automatic recovery and reuse of the feed. This structure can reduce the frequency of manual cleaning, improve breeding efficiency, reduce feed waste, and has a good cost-saving and efficiency-enhancing effect.

[0025] Optionally, the transmission rod 209 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed trough 1. In actual implementation, the movable rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed trough 1 through a bearing assembly or a rotating support, which helps the transmission rod 209 to rotate stably and evenly transmit power to the connected transmission wheel 309, cleaning brush 207 and other execution structures. This rotating connection structure can also absorb certain operating vibrations, reduce the impact of impact loads on the motor 202 and auxiliary mechanisms, improve the smoothness and reliability of the overall operation of the system, help extend the service life of the equipment, and adapt to long-term continuous operation scenarios.

[0026] Optionally, a transmission wheel 309 is fixedly connected to the middle of the output end of the motor 202, and a transmission plate 308 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transmission wheel 309. In actual implementation, the operation of the motor 202 drives the transmission wheel 309 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 309 transmits power to the transmission plate 308. Through the transmission plate 308, the transmission wheel 309 further drives the various actuator components connected to it, such as the conveyor belt 205 and the cleaning mechanism. This structure has a clear transmission path and even power distribution, avoiding excessive loads or poor synchronization caused by directly connecting multiple components. Through the coordination of the transmission wheel 309 and the transmission plate 308, energy-saving and efficient drive control can be achieved, improving system efficiency and stability.

[0027] Optionally, a transmission block 307 is provided on one side of the transmission plate 308, and one side wall of the transmission block 307 is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the knocking rod 306. In actual implementation, the transmission block 307 periodically pushes the knocking rod 306 to reciprocate as the transmission plate 308 rotates, driving the knocking block 302 to strike the inner wall or bottom of the feeding trough 1 provided on one side of the rubber rod 301, thereby loosening clogged or stuck feed. This structure does not require an additional electronic control device and can achieve automatic knocking only through transmission linkage. It has a simple structure, timely response, strong sustainability, and improves the smoothness and self-cleaning ability of the feeding system.

[0028] Optionally, a collar 305 is fixedly sleeved on the middle portion of the knocking rod 306, and a return spring 304 is sleeved on the middle portion of the knocking rod 306. One end of the return spring 304 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the collar 305, and the other end of the return spring 304 is fixedly connected to the limit member 303. In actual implementation, the return spring 304 provides a return force after the knocking rod 306 completes the impact action, so that the knocking rod 306 quickly returns to its initial position, ensuring a stable knocking action in the next cycle. The collar 305 and the limit member 303 structure can control the knocking amplitude to avoid damaging the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 while maintaining a moderate impact force. This structure has the advantages of automatic reset, reuse, and high durability, thereby improving the operational reliability and durability of the entire knocking mechanism.

[0029] Optionally, the knocking rod 306 is slidably connected to the limiter 303, and the limiter 303 is fixedly connected to the inside of the feeding trough 1. In actual implementation, the knocking rod 306, pushed by the transmission block 307, realizes linear reciprocating sliding along the guide track of the limiter 303, making the knocking action more directional and controllable. The limiter 303 is fixed to the inner wall of the feeding trough 1, playing a supporting and guiding role, avoiding the knocking rod 306 from deflecting or getting stuck during operation. This structure can significantly improve the operating accuracy and stability of the knocking mechanism, ensuring that the knocking action always acts on the predetermined position, which is conducive to evenly driving the feed to fall and preventing material accumulation and blockage.

[0030] Optionally, a connecting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding trough 1, and the outer side of the connecting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the anti-spill trough 201. In actual implementation, the connecting frame 4 acts as a structural bridge to reliably connect the feeding trough 1 and the anti-spill trough 201, ensuring the rigidity and relative position stability of the two in the overall structure. The presence of the connecting frame 4 makes the positional relationship between the anti-spill trough 201 and the conveyor belt 205 more precise, facilitating the smooth entry of the transmission structure into the anti-spill trough 201 for feed recovery. This connection structure is easy to install and has a stable structure, which facilitates system maintenance and disassembly, and improves the structural integrity and modularity of the overall device.

[0031] Working principle: When livestock eat, due to factors such as violent eating movements or head shaking, feed often spills outside the feeding trough 1. For this reason, an anti-spill trough 201 is provided on the front side of the feeding trough 1 to collect fallen feed particles or debris. An installation groove 203 is provided on the inner wall of the anti-spill trough 201. One end of the conveyor belt 205 can pass through the installation groove 203 and penetrate into the anti-spill trough 201. Under the guidance of the conveying bracket 206, the feed recovery path is completed. The system provides driving force through the motor 202 provided on the side wall of the feeding trough 1. The output end of the motor 202 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 209, and the transmission rod 209 drives the internal transmission wheel 309 and the transmission plate 308 rotate continuously, thereby driving the conveyor belt 205 to circulate and transport at a certain speed. A plurality of baffles 204 are fixed at intervals on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 205. These baffles 204 can push the residual feed in the anti-spill trough 201 to the top of the feeding trough 1 section by section during the operation of the conveyor belt 205, and fall into the trough again for livestock to eat, forming a closed feed return path. To ensure the cleanliness of the circulation path, the transmission rod 209 also drives the cleaning brush 207 through the spring rod 210. The cleaning brush 207 is attached to the surface of the baffle 204. During the circulation of the conveyor belt 205, the residual feed on the surface of the baffle 204 is continuously removed. The feed or foreign matter is brushed off, so that the feed can flow back smoothly, preventing caking and accumulation, improving the cleanliness and efficiency of the system, and a knocking mechanism for auxiliary feeding is also provided to improve the uniformity and stability of feeding. The mechanism includes a knocking rod 306, a knocking block 302, a rubber rod 301 and a return spring 304 and other components. When the motor 202 is running, the transmission rod 209 drives the transmission wheel 309 set in the middle to rotate, thereby linking the outer transmission plate 308 to move. A transmission block 307 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission plate 308. When the transmission block 307 rotates to a certain angle, it pushes the knocking rod 306 The rubber rod 301 plays a role of buffering and vibration assistance. Under the periodic knocking of the knocking block 302, the feed adhering to the bottom or side wall of the feeding trough 1 can be caused to fall, and the feed distribution can be more even. At the same time, in order to ensure the stable reset of the knocking structure, a ring 305 is provided in the middle of the knocking rod 306 and a reset spring 304 is provided. One end of the spring is connected to the ring 305, and the other end is connected to the trough wall through the limit piece 303. It automatically resets after knocking, ensuring that the next drive is carried out smoothly, and realizing the synchronous coordination of the knocking frequency and the transmission.
