Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0033] A livestock feeding trough with a stirring function, including a trough body 1, a water pipe 2 is fixedly installed above the trough body 1, a water pump 3 is arranged on the water pipe 2, a vertical pipe 4 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the trough body 1, and the vertical pipe 4 is connected to the water pipe 2 through a rotary joint 5. Uniformly distributed and symmetric stirring rods 6 are fixedly installed on the vertical pipe 4. The stirring rods 6 are hollow and communicate with the vertical pipe 4. Uniformly distributed and symmetric water outlet pipes 7 are fixedly installed on the stirring rods 6. A driving member 8 is arranged above the trough body 1 for driving the vertical pipe 4, the stirring rods 6 and the water outlet pipes 7 to rotate. The driving member 8 includes a mounting box 81 fixedly installed above the trough body 1, a motor 82 fixedly installed on the mounting box 81, a driving wheel 83 and a driven wheel 84 arranged in the mounting box 81, and a belt 85 sleeved on the driving wheel 83 and the driven wheel 84. The end of the output shaft of the motor 82 is fixedly installed with the middle of the driving wheel 83, the driven wheel 84 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the vertical pipe 4, and the belt 85 is respectively in transmission connection with the driving wheel 83 and the driven wheel 84.

[0034] During use, the operator feeds the feed into the trough body 1, starts the motor 82 on the mounting box 81, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 82 drives the driving wheel 83 to rotate, drives the driven wheel 84 to rotate together through the transmission of the belt 85, and the driven wheel 84 drives the vertical pipe 4 to rotate together. The vertical pipe 4 and the water pipe 2 are connected through the rotary joint 5 to ensure that the rotation of the vertical pipe 4 does not affect the water supply of the water pipe 2. The stirring rods 6 fixed on the vertical pipe 4 rotate together with the vertical pipe 4 to stir and mix the feed in the trough body 1.

[0035] Then start the water pump 3 on the water pipe 2, pump the water flow through the water pipe 2 to the vertical pipe 4. Since the stirring rods 6 are designed to be hollow and communicate with the vertical pipe 4, the water flow can further flow into the stirring rods 6 and flow out through the water outlet pipes 7 uniformly distributed on the stirring rods 6, and water injection and mixing are carried out while the stirring rods 6 stir the feed.

[0036] For this livestock feeding trough with a stirring function, while the stirring rods 6 stir the feed, water can be injected through the stirring rods 6, and stirring and water injection are carried out simultaneously, so that the feed and water can be mixed more fully and evenly, avoiding the phenomenon of uneven mixing that may occur in the traditional method of adding water first and then stirring, and at the same time, it can effectively improve the mixing efficiency of the feed, with strong practicability.

[0037] Valves 9 are arranged at the orifices of the water outlet pipes 7;

[0038] When the stirring rods 6 rotate and drive the water outlet pipes 7 to spray water, the valves 9 can ensure the one-way spraying of the water flow and prevent feed or other impurities from flowing back into the water outlet pipes 7 or the stirring rods 6.

[0039] A water tank 10 is provided on the side of the tank body 1. The water pipe 2 is connected to the water tank 10. A liquid level sensor is provided in the water tank 10, and a water replenishing pipe 11 is provided at the top of the water tank 10.

[0040] The water tank 10 provided on the side of the tank body 1 is connected to the mixing system through the water pipe 2 to provide the required water source for the mixing process. The liquid level sensor installed in the water tank 10 monitors the water level in the water tank 10 in real time. When the water level is lower than the set threshold, the operator performs a water replenishing operation through the water replenishing pipe 11 to ensure that there is always enough water in the water tank 10 for mixing use.

[0041] A horizontal pipe 12 is provided on the water pipe 2 and is connected to it. Switch valves 13 are provided on both the water pipe 2 and the horizontal pipe 12.

[0042] By installing the switch valves 13 on the water pipe 2 and the horizontal pipe 12, the on-off state of the water pipe 2 and the horizontal pipe 12 can be flexibly controlled. When it is necessary to provide separate drinking water for livestock, the switch valve 13 on the water pipe 2 can be closed, and the switch valve 13 on the horizontal pipe 12 can be opened, so that the water in the water tank 10 flows out through the horizontal pipe 12 for livestock to drink, improving the overall practicality of the device.

[0043] A controller is provided on the tank body 1. The controller is electrically connected to the water pump 3, the motor 82, and the liquid level sensor respectively.

[0044] Setting up the controller can realize the automatic control of each component of the device.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] During use, the operator feeds the feed into the tank body 1, starts the motor 82 on the installation box 81. The output shaft of the motor 82 rotates to drive the driving wheel 83 to rotate. Through the belt 85 transmission, the driven wheel 84 is driven to rotate together. The driven wheel 84 drives the vertical pipe 4 to rotate. The vertical pipe 4 is connected to the water pipe 2 through the rotary joint 5 to ensure that the rotation of the vertical pipe 4 does not affect the water supply of the water pipe 2. The stirring rod 6 fixed on the vertical pipe 4 rotates with the vertical pipe 4 to stir and mix the feed in the tank body 1.

[0047] Then, start the water pump 3 on the water pipe 2, pump the water flow through the water pipe 2 to the vertical pipe 4. Since the stirring rod 6 is designed to be hollow and is connected to the vertical pipe 4, the water flow can further flow into the stirring rod 6 and flow out through the water outlet pipes 7 evenly distributed on the stirring rod 6, while the stirring rod 6 stirs the feed, water injection and mixing are carried out.

[0048] When the stirring rod 6 rotates and drives the water outlet pipes 7 to spray water, the valve flap 9 can ensure the one-way spraying of the water flow, preventing the feed or other impurities from flowing back into the water outlet pipes 7 or the stirring rod 6.

[0049] For the livestock feeding trough with a stirring function, while the stirring rod 6 stirs the feed, water can be injected through the stirring rod 6, and the stirring and water injection are carried out simultaneously, so that the feed and water can be mixed more fully and evenly, avoiding the phenomenon of uneven mixing that may occur in the traditional method of adding water first and then stirring. At the same time, it can also effectively improve the mixing efficiency of the feed, with strong practicability;

[0050] The water tank 10 arranged on the side of the tank body 1 is connected to the stirring system through the water pipe 2 to provide the water source required for the stirring process. The liquid level sensor installed in the water tank 10 monitors the water level in the water tank 10 in real time. When the water level is lower than the set threshold, the operator performs a water replenishment operation through the water replenishing pipe 11 to ensure that there is always enough water in the water tank 10 for stirring;

[0051] By installing the switch valve 13 on the water pipe 2 and the horizontal pipe 12, the on-off state of the water pipe 2 and the horizontal pipe 12 can be flexibly controlled. When separate drinking water needs to be provided for livestock, the switch valve 13 on the water pipe 2 can be closed and the switch valve 13 on the horizontal pipe 12 can be opened, so that the water in the water tank 10 flows out through the horizontal pipe 12 for livestock to drink, improving the overall practicability of the device.

[0052] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
