[0021] Specifically, the water sent into the trough cavity of the trough body 2 can flow along the inclined trough plate 4, so that the driving member drives the sliding rod 7 to slide on the guide rails, and based on this, when the sliding rod 7 slides along the inclined groove 621 from the first straight groove 61, at this time, the cleaning member 8 can extend out of the water surface with the straw, hair and other sundries, when the sliding rod 7 slides along the second straight groove 622, at this time, the cleaning member 8 carrying the straw, hair and other sundries can extend out of the trough cavity of the trough body 2 to complete the cleaning work. Without frequent manual cleaning, the work burden of the breeders is reduced to a certain extent. Further, the filter plate 5 can effectively intercept the straw, hair and other sundries, so that the cleaning member 8 can easily realize the cleaning work.

[0022] The cleaning member 8 comprises an intercepting rod 81, a shaft rod 82 and two cleaning frames 83, the intercepting rod 81 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 7, the shaft rod 82 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the intercepting rod 81, the two cleaning frames 83 are arranged in front of and behind each other along the length direction of the shaft rod 82, and each cleaning frame 83 is elastically rotationally connected to the shaft rod 82. It should be noted that each cleaning frame 83 is connected to the shaft rod 82 through a first torsional spring, one end of each first torsional spring is fixedly connected to the corresponding cleaning frame 83, the other end is fixedly connected to the shaft rod 82, and the elastic deformation recovery process of the first torsional spring is used to drive the corresponding cleaning frame 83 to rotate so that the straw, hair and other sundries on the cleaning frame 83 slide off.

Through the cooperative work of the water outlet pump pipe 10 and the circulating pump pipe 11, the water in the water storage tank 9 and the water in the trough cavity can flow circularly, not only saving water resources, but also reducing the breeding of bacteria to a certain extent.

[0024] The driving member comprises a positioning shaft 12 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the transfer tank 3, a plurality of water receiving hoppers 13 arranged in a circumferential array and arranged in an arc shape are connected to the positioning shaft 12 through a connecting frame 29, the positioning shaft 12 is connected with a reciprocating screw rod 14 through a transmission assembly, and the reciprocating screw rod 14 is connected with the sliding rod 7 through a sliding part.

[0025] The transmission assembly is coaxially fixedly connected with a first gear 15 of the positioning shaft 12, a second gear 16 engaged with the first gear 15 is rotatably connected to the base frame 1, and the second gear 16 is drivingly connected with the reciprocating screw rod 14 through a transmission belt 17. It should be noted that the diameter of the first gear 15 is greater than the diameter of the second gear 16.

[0030] Specifically, after the water receiving bucket 13 receives water introduced by the guide slope plate 26, the water flows into the water receiving tank 22 through the water passing pipeline 23, and when the water receiving bucket 13 rotates to a certain angle and is turned over, the water in the water receiving tank 22 flows out through the filtering screen holes 24, thereby achieving interception of particulate matter and allowing the recycled water to be used continuously.

[0031] It should be noted that the extension frame 27, the corresponding water receiving tank 22 and the water receiving bucket 13 can be connected by bolts, and the breeder only needs to disassemble and clean the extension frame 27 regularly, such as once every 3-5 days, without the need for frequent manual cleaning.
