AI Technical Summary
In existing feeding trough structures, the feed hopper is prone to arching, which leads to uneven feed feeding. An unreasonable shaft design results in residual feed at the bottom becoming moldy, increasing manual intervention and costs.
Design a trough structure including a rotary feeder and a spiral auger. The rotary feeder is equipped with a brush, and the spiral auger is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft. The spiral auger is equipped with spiral blades for breaking up feed and cleaning up leftover feed.
This ensures smooth feed feeding, avoids bridging and mold growth, reduces manual intervention, and lowers labor costs and workload.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to livestock feeding equipment technical field, concretely relates to a trough structure for feeding. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of modern animal husbandry development, the design of the trough structure for feeding is very important. It is not only directly related to the improvement of feeding efficiency, but also has important significance for reducing labor costs and all-round guaranteeing animal health.
[0003] From the current situation, the existing trough structure for feeding has many problems. First of all, the design defect of the storage hopper is particularly prominent. When the storage hopper is filled with too much feed, the feed is prone to form an arch structure in the hopper under the action of gravity and mutual extrusion. At the same time, if the powder is too fine, the friction and adhesion between the fine powder will further aggravate the arching phenomenon. Once the arching is formed, the feed cannot fall smoothly, so that the semi-automatic feeder cannot work normally. This results in the need for the feeders to frequently conduct manual inspection during the feeding process, and after finding the arching problem, the arch structure needs to be destroyed by knocking the storage hopper to make the feed continue to fall. In this way, the purpose of saving labor through the semi-automatic feeder is greatly discounted, and the feeders are still bound around the trough and cannot be completely released from the heavy manual intervention.
[0004] Secondly, the design of the shaft at the bottom of the feeder is also unreasonable. The distance between the shaft and the bottom of the trough is crucial, if the distance is too small, the shaft is prone to scratch the trough during rotation. This scratch not only damages the shaft and the trough, but also may cause the feed to be stuck between them, affecting the smoothness of the feed. On the contrary, if the distance between the shaft and the bottom of the trough is too large, the feed cannot accurately fall into the appropriate position of the trough during the falling process, and a large amount of excess feed will be left on the edge of the trough. These excess feeds are prone to mold and deteriorate in a humid environment or after a long period of storage. The moldy feed not only emits a foul odor, affecting the feeding enthusiasm of the animals, but also causes serious harm to the health of the animals when they eat it, such as causing digestive system diseases. At the same time, the cleaning work of the excess feed also brings additional burden to the feeders, increasing the feeding cost and the difficulty of the work. SUMMARY
[0005] The utility model aims at overcoming the defects of the prior art, and provides a trough structure for feeding, which can avoid arching of the feed in the hopper and ensure smooth feeding of the feed when the sow is feeding, and can clean the excess feed at the bottom and avoid mold and clumping of the feed.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides a trough structure for feeding, which comprises a hopper, a feeding tray arranged at the bottom of the hopper, and a rotary feeding device arranged in the feeding tray, wherein the rotary feeding device comprises a rotating shaft and blades arranged around the rotating shaft.
[0007] The top of the rotating shaft of the rotary feeding device extends a spiral auger, which comprises a spiral auger rotating shaft and spiral blades arranged around the spiral auger rotating shaft, and the spiral auger rotating shaft is coaxially connected with the rotating shaft of the rotary feeding device.
[0008] The bottom of the blade of the rotary feeding device is provided with a brush which is in contact with the bottom of the feeding tray.
[0009] Preferably, the feeding tray is provided with a discharge opening with an inclined bottom on one side.
[0010] Preferably, the hopper is provided with a discharge opening, and the lower part of the hopper gradually narrows towards the discharge opening, and a gap is left between the spiral blades of the spiral auger and the inner wall of the discharge opening.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages of:
[0012] 1. A stainless steel spiral auger is welded upward at the axis of the rotating shaft, so that when the sow eats, the rotary paddle can avoid arching and smoothly discharge the feed in the hopper.
[0013] 2. A brush is installed at the bottom of each paddle of the rotating shaft, so that the remaining feed at the bottom can be cleaned, and the feed can be prevented from caking and mildewing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
