Subsequently, the entire cleaning component can be taken out of the feeding trough. Then, flip the cover plate to cover the feeding trough and cover the sliding groove. The cover plate is used to prevent residues such as forage from entering the sliding groove when the cattle are eating, thus affecting the sliding of the moving frame. When it is necessary to install the cleaning component, flip the cover plate to expose the sliding groove. Then, insert one end of the moving frame into the sliding groove and the other end of the moving frame into the insertion groove. When fully inserted, the plug post will be re-inserted into the fixed groove under the action of the spring, enabling the quick fixation of the moving frame on the hole slot block. The detachable cleaning component does not obstruct the cattle when eating, thus ensuring the normal feeding of the cattle.

[0016] The utility model not only realizes the comprehensive cleaning of the feeding trough, but also ensures the smoothness of the cattle's feeding through the detachable mechanism. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
