DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. 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 in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a feed trough with a cleaning structure, including a feed trough 1, the inner wall of the feed trough 1 is arc-shaped for the convenience of cattle eating, and a water supply mechanism 2 for flushing the remaining feed on the inner wall of the feed trough 1 and a cleaning mechanism 3 for scraping the remaining feed on the inner wall of the feed trough 1 are installed outside the feed trough 1;

[0025] The bottom of the feed trough 1 is connected with supporting legs, and the length of the supporting legs is greater than the height of the water tank 21. The feed trough 1 should be installed inside the cowshed for the convenience of feeding the cows. It should be next to the cowshed fence and parallel to the cowshed, which is more conducive to the cows to feed. At the same time, it is also convenient for the cattle raiser to feed the feed usually. It cannot be next to the entrance and exit door of the cowshed to prevent being trampled by the cows;

[0026] Before using the feed trough 1, attention must be paid to cleaning and disinfection to prevent the spread of diseases. The appropriate size of the feed trough 1 should be selected according to the number and size of the cows. The specifications of the feed trough 1 should be selected according to the size of the granular feed;

[0027] The feed trough 1 needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid the residual feed from mildewing and being eaten by the cows by mistake. Regularly check the integrity of the feed trough 1. If there is any damage, it should be repaired or replaced in time. Ensure that there are no weeds, feed residues and other sundries in the trough. Special attention should be paid to the corners and the bottom of the trough wall during cleaning, as these places are prone to residual food and dirt. After cleaning, an appropriate disinfectant can be used to disinfect the feed trough to kill potential bacteria and viruses and ensure the health of the cows.

[0028] Before feeding, ensure the quality of the feed to avoid feeding mildewed, expired or contaminated feed. Before feeding, the feed should be stirred evenly to ensure that the cows can obtain a nutritionally balanced feed. Regularly monitor the moisture content and nutritional components of the feed. If there are any abnormalities, they should be adjusted in time.

[0029] In addition to being used to wash the residual feed on the inner wall of the feed trough 1, the water supply mechanism 2 can also directly introduce water into the feed trough 1 as the drinking water for the cows, killing two birds with one stone.

[0030] The water supply mechanism 2 includes a water tank 21 installed at the bottom of the feed trough 1. As Figure 2 shown, the top of the water tank 21 is in an arc shape that fits the bottom of the feed trough 1. Two parallel support plates 25 are installed on the upper edge of the feed trough 1. The length of the support plates 25 is the same as the length of the feed trough 1. Through holes 26 are provided on the support plates 25. A plurality of through holes 26 are arranged at equal intervals. A water delivery pipe is connected between the water tank 21 and the through holes 26. The water delivery pipe is used to deliver water from the water tank 21 to the inside of the feed trough 1;

[0031] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a scraper 33 slidably installed inside the feed trough 1. The side of the scraper 33 is in contact with the inner wall of the feed trough 1, that is, the bottom shape of the scraper 33 is also in an arc shape. Optionally, a sealing strip can be installed on the side wall of the scraper 33 to increase the fitting tightness between the scraper 33 and the inner wall of the feed trough 1 and achieve a better feed scraping effect.

[0032] The water delivery pipe includes a water pipe 22 connected to the lower end of the side wall of the water tank 21. The water pipe 22 is L-shaped, and a horizontal connecting pipe 23 is connected to the top of the water pipe 22. The connecting pipe 23 is installed on the side wall of the support plate 25.

[0033] A plurality of drain pipes 24 are connected to the side wall of the connecting pipe 23 at equal intervals, and the drain pipes 24 are inserted and fixed inside the through holes 26.

[0034] The water pipe 22 and the water pump introduce the water in the water tank 21 into the connecting pipe 23, then the water flows from the connecting pipe 23 to a plurality of drain pipes 24, and flows into the inside of the feed trough 1 from the drain pipes 24, and the water washes down the feed sticking to the inner wall of the feed trough 1.

[0035] The cleaning mechanism 3 further includes two hollow plates 31 fixed on the two support plates 25. A lead screw 34 is rotatably installed inside one of the hollow plates 31, and a round rod 36 is installed inside the other hollow plate 31.

[0036] A protective strip 32 with an arc-shaped top is also installed on the top of the hollow plate 31 to prevent the hollow plate 31 from being deformed when the cow eats and touches the hollow plate 31.

[0037] Connecting blocks 37 are installed at both ends of the scraper 33. One of the connecting blocks 37 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 34, and the other connecting block 37 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the round rod 36.

[0038] The motor 35 drives the lead screw 34 to rotate. The lead screw 34 cooperates with the round rod 36 and the two connecting blocks 37 to drive the scraper 33 to move along the radial direction of the feed trough 1, so as to scrape off the washed-down and unwashed residual feed together.

[0039] Through holes 38 are opened on the opposite sides of the two hollow plates 31. The connecting blocks 37 are slidably installed inside the through holes 38, and the through holes 38 play a role in limiting the movement of the connecting blocks 37.

[0040] One end of one of the hollow plates 31 is installed with a motor 35. The motor 35 is a forward and reverse motor, and one end of the output shaft of the motor 35 is connected to the end of the lead screw 34.

[0041] A water filling port 4 for adding water is connected to the upper part of the outer wall of one end of the water tank 21. A drain hole for discharging residual feed and water is opened at the lower part of one end of the feed trough 1. A plunger is hermetically inserted inside the drain hole. When cleaning the sticky residual feed, the plunger needs to be pulled out to facilitate the discharge of the washed-down feed.

[0042] During use, after feeding the cow with feed, the residual feed on the inner wall of the feed trough 1 is cleaned in time. The specific operation is as follows:

[0043] The water in the water tank 21 is introduced into the connecting pipe 23 through the water pipe 22 and the water pump (not shown in the figure) in the water supply mechanism 2, and then the water flows from the connecting pipe 23 to the multiple drainage pipes 24, and flows into the inside of the feed trough 1 from the drainage pipes 24, and the water slowly flows down from the inner wall of the feed trough 1, and the feed stuck to the inner wall of the feed trough 1 can be washed down;

[0044] Then the motor 35 is operated to drive the screw 34 to rotate. The screw 34 cooperates with the round rod 36 and the two connecting blocks 37 to drive the scraper 33 to move radially along the feed trough 1, so that the flushed and unflushed residual feed can be scraped off together, and the flushed and scraped feed is discharged from the drainage hole at the end of the feed trough 1.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
