Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a feeding trough that can adapt to the growth adjustment of livestock, including a food box 10, an isolation frame 20 is movably arranged on the food box 10, an adjusting rod 30 is movably arranged at the contact position between the food box 10 and the isolation frame 20, the isolation frame 20 translates along the height direction of the food box 10 to form a height adjustment structure, the adjusting rod 30 is penetrated in the food box 10 and movably abuts against the isolation frame 20 to form a height limiting structure, and an insertion strip 21 is arranged on the isolation frame 20, and the insertion strip 21 translates along the length direction of the isolation frame 20 and movably abuts against the food box 10 to form a fixed structure.

[0028] The utility model adopts a movable connection to form a feeding trough with an adjustable structure. The purpose of lifting and lowering is achieved by adjusting the supporting height of the isolation frame. It can be adjusted adaptively with the growth of livestock, which is conducive to taking, placing and fixing the isolation frame as a whole, making the adjustment more convenient and smooth, and facilitating fixed use or disassembly and maintenance according to use requirements.

[0029] By adjusting the use height of the adjustment rod 30, the support height of the isolation frame 20 is adjusted to achieve the purpose of lifting the isolation frame 20, which is beneficial to adjust the use gap between the isolation frame 20 and the food box 10, and can be better adapted to various growth stages of livestock, and is convenient for adjustment and use. The isolation frame 20 is fixed by the insertion strip 21, which can improve the stability of the isolation frame 20 and reduce the situation where the isolation frame 20 is lifted up due to collision and shaking of livestock during use.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the isolation frame 20 includes a support rod 22, a cross rod 23 and an oblique rod 24. The support rod 22 is provided with at least two groups at both ends of the cross rod 23. The top end of the cross rod 23 is lower than the top end of the support rod 22. The top end of the isolation frame 20 and the top end of the cross rod 23 are fixedly connected by the oblique rod 24.

[0031] The isolation frame 20 and the cross bar 23 are connected by the diagonal rod 24, so that the isolation frame 20 and the side of the cross bar 23 form a V-shaped structure, which is convenient for placing fodder above the isolation frame 20, and is conducive to separating the livestock on both sides through the cross bar 23 below the isolation frame 20, so that the livestock can eat better;

[0032] The support rods 22 support and fix the isolation frame 20 on both sides of the isolation frame 20, and a handle 25 is provided on the cross bar 23 to facilitate the isolation frame 20 to be lifted as a whole and moved.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected on both sides of the food box 10, and fixing grooves 14 matching the inserting strips 21 are opened on the fixing plate 11 at equal intervals, a vertical groove 12 matching the support rod 22 is opened on the food box 10, and a horizontal groove 13 matching the adjusting rod 30 is opened on the side of the support rod 22 close to the vertical groove 12.

[0034] The fixing plates 11 on both sides are used to expand the fixing range of the inserting strips 21, facilitate fixing the cross bar 23, and improve the stability of the isolation frame 20 during use. At the same time, the cross bar 23 and the fixing plates 11 are connected by the inserting strips 21, so that the isolation frame 20 is conveniently fixed on the food box 10 and is not easily shaken or lifted up by collision with livestock.

[0035] A slide groove matching the insertion strip 21 is provided in the cross bar 23. The insertion strip 21 is slid into the slide groove to separate one end of the insertion strip 21 from the fixing groove 14, which is conducive to canceling the fixation of the isolation rack 20 and conveniently taking out the isolation rack 20 as a whole through the handle 25, which is convenient for daily cleaning and maintenance, and is also conducive to cleaning the food box 10.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the transverse groove 13 and the vertical groove 12 are arranged perpendicular to each other, the length direction of the transverse groove 13 runs through the width direction of the food box 10, and the transverse groove 13 and the vertical groove 12 are connected to each other;

[0037] There are at least two groups of transverse grooves 13 arranged at equal intervals, and the interval between each two groups of transverse grooves 13 is the same as the interval between each two groups of fixing grooves 14 .

[0038] Through the multiple groups of horizontal grooves 13 and fixed grooves 14 arranged at equal intervals, it is convenient to adjust the fixed height of the isolation frame 20 according to the growth status of the livestock. First, the adjustment rod 30 is plugged and fixed with the horizontal groove 13 of the appropriate height, and then the isolation frame 20 is plugged into the vertical groove 12 through the support rod 22, and the isolation frame 20 is supported by the lower adjustment rod 30 so that the isolation frame 20 stays at a suitable height. Finally, the sliding insert 21 is plugged and fixed with the fixed groove 14 to complete the fixation of the isolation frame 20;

[0039] By adjusting the support height of the isolation frame 20 and then inserting and fixing the isolation frame 20 as a whole, the isolation frame 20 can be quickly adjusted, and uneven heights at both ends are less likely to occur, and it is less likely to get stuck when adjusting the height, making the operation simple and smooth.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting rod 30 is located below the supporting rod 22 , and the adjusting rod 30 passes through the horizontal groove 13 in the length direction. One end of the supporting rod 22 is penetrated through the inner wall of the vertical groove 12 and movably abuts against the adjusting rod 30 .

[0041] Through the connection between the horizontal groove 13 and the vertical groove 12, the adjusting rod 30 can support the bottom end of the support rod 22 when fixed, and by adjusting the insertion height of the adjusting rod 30, the support height of the support rod 22 can be further adjusted, so that the support rod 22 can be highly extended on the food box 10, which is convenient for adjusting to the growth state of the livestock;

[0042] A rod handle 31 is installed at one end of the adjusting rod 30, and the rod handle 31 is used to facilitate the extraction or installation of the adjusting rod 30. At the same time, the diameter of the rod handle 31 is larger than the diameter of the adjusting rod 30, which is beneficial to limit the insertion length of the adjusting rod 30 and facilitate the limiting and fixing of the adjusting rod 30.

[0043] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present application within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
