[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cattle troughs, in particular to a cleaning device for cattle troughs. Background Art

[0002] Cattle troughs are essential equipment for feeding cattle in the livestock industry, primarily used to store feed and water. They are specially designed feed and water containers for beef cattle, meeting their feeding and drinking needs. They store feed and water, ensuring continuous feeding and drinking, improving feed utilization, and helping to maintain water quality and a hygienic feeding environment.

[0003] However, most existing cattle feeding troughs are made of plastic or metal. When cattle eat, they often engage in rooting behavior due to factors such as appetite, picky eating, food accumulation, and exploration. This rooting behavior pushes the forage inside the trough out of the trough, which not only affects the cattle's food intake, but also causes forage waste, reducing the applicability of existing feeding troughs.

[0004] At the same time, most of the existing cattle feeding troughs do not have a structure for cleaning the inside of the trough when in use. It is inconvenient to clean the residual forage inside the trough after the cattle have finished eating, which makes it more cumbersome for the staff to clean the trough and increases the workload of the staff.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4As shown, a cleaning device for a cattle trough comprises a mounting plate 1 and a trough 14, two places on one side of the mounting plate 1 are fixedly connected with a fixing frame 2, the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2 is slidably connected with a movable block 3, and the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2 is installed with a reset mechanism 4. Under the action of the fixing frame 2 and the movable block 3, the movable block 3 can be moved freely inside the fixing frame 2, and under the action of the reset mechanism 4, the movable block 3 can be returned to its original position after moving, thereby facilitating the subsequent use of the movable block 3, one side of the movable block 3 is fixedly connected with a connecting block 5, and one side of the fixing frame 2 is provided with a pushing plate 6, and both sides of the surface of the pushing plate 6 are provided with limiting grooves 7, and the connecting block 5 The surface of the connecting block 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 7. Under this action, the pushing plate 6 can push the feed inside the feeding trough 14, so that when the beef cattle are arching for food, the pushing plate 6 can move under the cooperation of the movable block 3 and the connecting block 5, so that the beef cattle can arch for food. When not arching for food, the pushing plate 6 can return to its original position under the cooperation of the gravity of the connecting block 5 and the movable block 3 and the connecting block 5, so that the pushing plate 6 can push the forage back to its original position, thereby reducing the situation where the forage is arched out of the feeding trough 14 by the beef cattle. The connecting block 5 is a spherical structure design. The connecting block 5 is used in conjunction with the limiting groove 7. Under this action, the friction between the surface of the connecting block 5 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 7 can be reduced. , so that the pushing plate 6 can be moved more easily, a connecting plate 8 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 1, and two places on one side of the connecting plate 8 are fixedly connected with an extrusion rod 9, and a through hole 10 is opened on the surface of the mounting plate 1, and the surface of the extrusion rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole 10. Under this action, the extrusion rod 9 can be pushed through the through hole 10 by pushing the connecting plate 8 to push the pushing plate 6, so that the pushing plate 6 can be rotated with the movable block 3, so that the pushing plate 6 can scrape out the feed inside the trough 14, so as to facilitate the staff to clean the inside of the trough 14, and the top of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting frame 11, and a positioning mechanism 1 is installed on the surface of the connecting frame 11 2. With the cooperation of the positioning mechanism 12 and the connecting plate 8, the connecting plate 8 can be limited, so that the connecting plate 8 will not easily drive the extrusion rod 9 to move, thereby improving the stability of the extrusion rod 9 when supporting the pushing plate 6, and preventing the pushing plate 6 from easily rotating and causing the forage on its surface to fall off at will. Two positioning grooves 13 are provided on one side of the pushing plate 6. The inner wall of the positioning groove 13 is slidably connected to the surface of the extrusion rod 9. Under this action, the extrusion rod 9 can be limited when it moves through the cooperation of the positioning groove 13, so that the extrusion rod 9 will not have a large position deviation when it moves, so that the extrusion rod 9 is more stable when pushing the pushing plate 6.

[0023] The reset mechanism 4 includes a first spring 41, one side of the first spring 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 2, and the other end of the first spring 41 is fixedly connected to the reset plate 42. The surface of the reset plate 42 is movably connected to the surface of the movable block 3. A guide groove 43 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. The inner wall of the guide groove 43 is slidably connected to the surface of the reset plate 42. Under this action, pressure can be applied to the movable block 3 through the cooperation of the first spring 41 and the reset plate 42, so that the push plate 6 can return to its initial position after moving, thereby facilitating the push plate 6 to push the forage back to its original position.

[0024] When the connecting plate 8 needs to be moved out, the blocking block 122 is released by pulling the blocking block 122 through the movable frame 121.

[0025] It is worth noting that the technical features such as the feeding trough 14 proposed in this technical solution should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control method and spatial layout method of these technical features can be selected according to conventional methods in the field, and this technical solution will not be further elaborated.

[0026] Working principle: First, place the forage inside the trough 14 for feeding. The beef cattle will arch the food while eating, and will squeeze the push plate 6 when arching the food. The movable block 3 and the connecting block 5 cooperate to facilitate the movement of the push plate 6. When the beef cattle no longer arch the food, the push plate 6 can be returned to its original position under the cooperation of its own weight and the reset mechanism 4, thereby pushing the forage and reducing the waste of forage. When the trough 14 needs to be cleaned after feeding, the staff pushes the connecting plate 8. Under the action of the connecting plate 8, the pushing plate 6 will be squeezed by the squeezing rod 9, so that the pushing plate 6 rotates and the forage inside the trough 14 is pushed out. The connecting plate 8 can be limited by the cooperation of the positioning block 122, and then the staff can clean the forage on the surface of the pushing plate 6.
