Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding devices, and specifically relates to a calf feeding trough with adjustable height. Background Art
[0002] Raising cattle means feeding and taking care of cattle. The demand for cattle in human daily life is still very large, including cattle labor, milk, beef, etc. Therefore, the breeding of cattle is also very important. Cattle are generally raised in batches, and the feeding of cattle is also very important. Therefore, a feeding trough is needed to facilitate the feeding of calves.
[0003] Due to the different heights of multiple calves, when eating, since the height of the feeding trough is in a fixed state, it cannot meet the feeding of calves of different heights, which is likely to cause problems due to height mismatch and prevent feeding. In addition, after feeding, the excess feed will sink to the bottom. If the feed remains in this position for a long time, bacteria will be produced. And when the feeding trough is placed indoors, due to the humidity in the room, the feeding trough at a lower position is more likely to breed bacteria. In particular, the bottom of the feeding trough at this position needs to be treated.
[0004] It is necessary to adjust the height of the device to adapt to the feeding of calves at different stages, and it is necessary to deal with the feed accumulated at the bottom to prevent excessive bacteria generated in the trough from causing the calves to get sick after using the feeding trough to eat. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] To solve the problems raised in the above background art, the utility model provides a calf feeding trough with adjustable height, which has the advantages of being able to adapt to calves of different heights and clearing the feed accumulated at the bottom of the device.

The outer wall of the feeding trough 3 is close to the inner wall of the lifting trough 2, and the feeding trough 3 and the lifting trough 2 are slidably connected.
[0025] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the inner wall of the feeding trough 3 is threadedly connected with a first screw 4. A plurality of groups of first screws 4 are provided, and the first screws 4 are equidistantly distributed about the central axis of the support 1. The first screw 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support 1, the top of the first screw 4 is fixed with a lifting mechanism 5, and a cleaning mechanism 6 is installed on the side wall of the feeding trough 3.
[0026] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a first connecting plate 501, a handle 502 and a limiting rod 503. The first connecting plate 501 is fixed to the top end of the first screw rod 4. The handle 502 is fixed to the top end of the first connecting plate 501. The inner wall of the handle 502 is provided with the limiting rod 503. The outer wall of the limiting rod 503 is close to the inner wall of the handle 502. The limiting rod 503 and the handle 502 are slidably connected. The top end of the bracket 1 is provided with a limiting groove 504. There are several groups of limiting grooves 504 distributed at equal intervals around the central axis of the first connecting plate 501. The limiting grooves 504 are distributed at equal intervals around the central axis of the bracket 1.
[0027] Adopting the above scheme: By rotating the handle 502, the first connecting plate 501 and the first screw rod 4 are driven to rotate, so that the first screw rod 4 can drive the feeding trough 3 to lift through its own shape when rotating. After adjusting to the appropriate height, inserting the limiting rod 503 into the limiting groove 504 can prevent the first screw rod 4 from reversing and affecting the fixing of the height.

[0029] Adopting the above scheme: By starting the motor 602 to drive the second screw rod 603 to rotate, the position of the cleaning scraper 604 is driven to move. Since the bottom end of the cleaning scraper 604 touches the bottom end inside the feeding trough 3, the excess feed accumulated at the bottom of the feeding trough 3 can be scraped off. After taking out the baffle 605 through the second connecting plate 606, the excess feed can be discharged through the cleaning scraper 604. After the discharge, inserting the baffle 605 back can re-place the feed into the feeding trough 3, so as to achieve the purpose of facilitating the discharge of the feed accumulated inside the feeding trough 3.
[0030] Working principle and usage process of the present utility model: By rotating the handle 502, the first connecting disk 501 and the first screw rod 4 are driven to rotate, so that when the first screw rod 4 rotates, it can drive the feeding trough 3 to rise and fall through its own shape. After adjusting to the appropriate height, inserting the limiting rod 503 into the limiting groove 504 can prevent the first screw rod 4 from reversing and affecting the fixation of the height. By setting multiple groups and adjusting them to different heights, the device can feed calves at different heights. By starting the motor 602 to drive the second screw rod 603 to rotate, the position of the cleaning scraper 604 is driven to move. Since the bottom end of the cleaning scraper 604 touches the bottom end inside the feeding trough 3, the excess feed accumulated at the bottom of the feeding trough 3 can be scraped off. After removing the baffle 605 through the second connecting disk 606, the excess feed can be discharged through the cleaning scraper 604. After discharging, inserting the baffle 605 back can place feed into the feeding trough 3 again, so as to achieve the purpose of facilitating the discharge of the feed accumulated inside the feeding trough 3.
