In the process of feeding, a problem often faced is that after the livestock have eaten the feed, there are often some residual feed in the bottom corners of the feeding trough due to angle problems. On the one hand, feed is wasted, especially in large-scale animal husbandry. A little feed residue left in each feeding trough accumulates to a considerable amount, causing economic losses to the farmers. On the other hand, the feed residue remaining in the feeding trough will deteriorate, have a smell, attract mosquitoes and flies, affect the breeding environment, and is not conducive to the growth and health of livestock.

[0003] At present, there are many types of feeding troughs used to solve the above problems, but most of them have complex structures, are not easy to clean, and have high installation and maintenance costs, which is not conducive to large-scale promotion. Utility Model Content

[0021] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The orientations mentioned in this specification are based on the orientations of a feeding trough of the utility model when it is working normally, and do not limit its orientations during storage and transportation. They only represent relative positional relationships, not absolute positional relationships.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown together, a feeding trough includes a hollow trough body 1 for storing feed, a flushing port 2 for flushing the inner cavity of the trough body 1 is provided on the side wall of the trough body 1, and a sewage outlet 3 is provided on the opposite side of the flushing port 2, located at the bottom of the trough body 1, and the sewage outlet 3 is connected to the sewage pipe. The flushing port 2 is connected to the flushing pipe, and high-pressure tap water is sprayed into the trough body 1 to flush the inside of the trough body 1, and the sewage is discharged from the sewage outlet 3 and enters the sewage pipe.

[0024] The scraper mechanism 4 includes two scraper plates 401 and a connecting rod 402 that fixes the two scraper plates 401 together. There are two connecting rods 402, which are distributed outside the left and right side walls of the trough body 1. The connecting rod 402 fixes the two scraper plates 401 to each other, thereby ensuring that the distance between the two hanging plates is constant; the scraper mechanism 4 is movably connected to the side wall of the trough body 1, and the upper edge of the scraper plate 401 extends outside the trough body 1. Between the scraper plate 401 and the connecting rod 402, above the side wall of the trough body 1, a concave groove with an opening facing downward is formed, so that the scraper mechanism 4 can move forward and backward along the width direction of the trough body 1.

[0025] The scraper plate 401 is arranged along the length direction of the trough body 1, perpendicular to the bottom of the trough body 1, and the bottom and side edges of the scraper plate 401 are respectively fitted with the inner wall of the trough body 1; the two scraper plates 401 are distributed on the front and rear sides of the trough body 1, and there is a movable space between the two scraper plates 401 and the front and rear inner walls of the trough body 1, thereby dividing the space in the trough body 1 into a feeding area 5 located in the middle and a buffer zone 6 distributed on the front and rear sides of the feeding area 5. The feeding area 5 is used for temporarily storing feed for livestock to eat, and the buffer zone 6 provides space for the scraper mechanism 4 to move forward and backward, so that the livestock can push the scraper mechanism 4 with their mouths when eating, so as to move it forward and backward, so as to facilitate the gathering of feed located at the edge of the feeding area 5, facilitate eating, and reduce feed waste.

[0026] A baffle plate 403 is also fixedly provided on the outer wall of the scraper plate 401. The baffle plate 403 is arranged in the horizontal direction and is located below the shell 7. The upper plane of the baffle plate 403 is flush with the upper part of the scraper plate 401. The baffle plate 403 covers the top of the buffer zone 6. The size of the baffle plate 403 is slightly smaller than the buffer zone 6, ensuring that it can move freely back and forth above the buffer zone 6.

[0027] Above the buffer zone 6, there is a shell 7 for sealing the buffer zone 6, a gap is left between the bottom of the shell 7 and the upper part of the scraper plate 401, a brush 8 is provided in the gap between the bottom of the shell 7 and the upper part of the scraper plate 401, the brush 8 is in contact with the scraper plate 401 and the upper part of the baffle plate 403, the shell 7 is used to prevent the livestock from getting feed into the buffer zone 6 and polluting the buffer zone 6 when eating, and the brush 8 is used to clean the feed above the baffle plate 403 to the feeding area 5 to avoid waste.

[0028] A push handle 9 for pushing the scraper mechanism 4 to move is provided on the side of the connecting rod 402. When flushing the tank body 1, the push handle 9 can be pushed manually to drive the scraper mechanism 4 to move back and forth, so that the tank body 1 can be cleaned more thoroughly.

[0029] The cross section of the bottom of the scraper plate 401 is a conical structure, and the scraper plate 401 is made of rubber material, so that the scraper plate 401 fits better with the inner wall of the tank body 1 and the scraping effect is better.

[0030] Working principle: when livestock need to eat, a certain amount of feed or food is put into the feeding area 5. After the livestock eats up the food in the middle part of the feeding area 5, they will eat the food in the front edge area, so that they use their mouths to push the side wall of the scraper plate 401 on the front side, so that the scraper mechanism 4 moves forward. On the one hand, it can eat the food on the front side more conveniently. On the other hand, when the scraper mechanism 4 moves forward, the scraper plate 401 on the rear side also moves forward, driving the food in the rear edge area to move to the middle of the trough body 1. After the livestock finishes eating the food on the front side, they turn back to eat the food in the middle and rear parts, and then push the scraper plate 401 on the rear side with their mouths, so that the scraper mechanism 4 moves backward. Similarly, on the one hand, it can eat the food on the rear side more conveniently. On the other hand, when the scraper mechanism 4 moves backward, the scraper plate 401 on the front side also moves backward, driving the uneaten food in the front edge area to move to the middle of the trough body 1. After several round trips, the food in the trough body 1 can be eaten more cleanly to avoid residue.

[0031] When it is necessary to flush the tank body 1, the flushing port 2 is connected to the flushing pipe, and high-pressure tap water is sprayed into the tank body 1 to flush the tank body 1. At the same time, the push handle 9 can be manually pushed to drive the scraper mechanism 4 to move back and forth, so that the tank body 1 is cleaned more thoroughly, and the flushed sewage is discharged from the sewage outlet 3 and enters the sewage pipe; at the same time, the scraper mechanism 4 is movably connected to the tank body 1, and it is convenient to disassemble. In order to flush more thoroughly and flush the dirt in the buffer zone 6 at the same time, the scraper mechanism 4 can also be removed and then flushed.

[0032] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
