DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0017] The embodiment of the present application discloses a livestock feeding trough, comprising a trough body 1, wherein a plurality of groups of linearly spaced partitions 2 are arranged inside the trough body 1, the partitions 2 divide the trough body 1 into a plurality of feeding rooms 17, pressure sensors 12 are arranged on the inner bottom surfaces of the feeding rooms 17, an infrared transmitter 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the feeding rooms 17, a frame 3 is arranged on one side of the outer surface of the trough body 1, a feeding mechanism movable along the trough body 1 is arranged on the frame 3, the feeding mechanism is used to add material to the feeding room 17, and an infrared receiver 10 is arranged on the surface of the feeding mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a slide 5, a storage tank 6 and a tube body 9. The slide 5 is installed above the frame 3 through a moving mechanism, the storage tank 6 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slide 5, the tube body 9 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 6, and the discharge port of the tube body 9 is located above the trough body 1, and an electric control valve 16 is arranged inside the discharge port of the tube body 9.

[0019] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a ball seat 13 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the slide 5, a screw rod 7 is rotatably connected to the frame 3, the ball seat 13 is sleeved on the surface of the screw rod 7, a motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the frame 3, and the power end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 7.

[0020] In this embodiment, the ball screw is an existing transmission element, and its main function is to convert rotational motion into linear motion. It will not be repeated here. In actual use, it is necessary to connect the motor 8 to an external power supply and drive the motor 8 forward and reverse, so that the feeding mechanism can move back and forth along the screw 7.

[0021] It should be noted that the motor 8, pressure sensor 12, infrared receiver 10, infrared transmitter 11 and electric control valve 16 in this embodiment can be used with a controller. The controller can select a single-chip microcomputer for control. The single-chip microcomputer is composed of an arithmetic unit, a memory, an input and output device, etc., which is equivalent to a microcomputer. Compared with the general-purpose microprocessor used in personal computers, it emphasizes self-supply and cost saving. Its biggest advantage is that it is small in size and can be placed inside the instrument, but it has a small storage capacity, a simple input and output interface, and low functional consumption. In this embodiment, the model of the single-chip microcomputer is not required.

[0022] In this embodiment, by arranging a pressure sensor 12 at the bottom of each feeding room 17, the remaining amount of feed in each feeding room 17 can be monitored. When the signal monitored by the pressure sensor 12 at the bottom of a feeding room 17 is lower than its set value, the pressure sensor 12 at the bottom of the feeding room 17 can transmit the signal to the controller. The controller enables the infrared transmitter 11 on the surface of the feeding room 17 to continuously emit infrared rays, and controls the moving mechanism to drive the feeding mechanism to move along the trough body 1. When the infrared receiver 10 on the surface of the feeding mechanism receives the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 11, the infrared receiver 10 transmits the signal to the controller, and the controller can drive the moving mechanism to stop running. Therefore, the feeding mechanism can stay in the feeding room 17. At the same time, the controller drives the electric control valve 16 to open, that is, it can replenish feed into the feeding room 17, so that it can replenish feed in time to prevent the situation where there is less feed in some parts of the trough body 1 and the animals do not eat enough.

[0023] Furthermore, a slide groove 4 is opened on the upper surface of the frame 3, and the slide groove 4 is arranged parallel to the screw rod 7. A slider 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slide seat 5. The slider 14 is installed inside the slide groove 4 and slides with it. A plurality of groups of rollers 15 are rotatably connected to the surface of the slider 14. The axis of the roller 15 is perpendicular to the slide groove 4, and the roller 15 can move on the inner surface of the slide groove 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, the slide groove 4, the slider 14 and the roller 15 are arranged to cooperate with each other so that the slide seat 5 can move along the groove body 1.
