Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of broiler breeding technology, specifically a feed trough for broiler breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Broiler chickens are an essential food on people's daily tables. Compared with other industries, broiler chicken farming has relatively low investment costs and a short cycle, allowing for considerable economic benefits in a short period. Improving the growth rate of broiler chickens is mainly achieved from the chick stage, and the main method to shorten the growth cycle is through enhanced nutritional management during their growth. Furthermore, improving feed conversion ratio can reduce farming costs to some extent. Broiler chickens are very suitable for mechanized feeding, which can effectively reduce manpower and lower agricultural labor costs. However, current feed troughs have simple structures, cannot automatically feed, and the feeding is uneven and inconsistent, leading to overfeeding or underfeeding of broiler chickens, both of which are detrimental to broiler production. Additionally, feed troughs are inconvenient to disassemble and clean, requiring overall cleaning, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, this case study was developed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feed trough for broiler farming, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing feed trough for broiler farming does not have quantitative feeding and is easy to disassemble and clean.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feed trough for broiler farming, comprising a base, a movable rod, and a positioning side plate. A movable groove is provided at the top of the base, and a movable plate is installed inside the movable groove. Pneumatic telescopic rods are installed on both sides of one end of the movable plate. A second drive motor is installed in the middle of the interior of the movable plate, and the output end of the second drive motor is connected to the feed trough body via a drive shaft. Dividing grooves are evenly distributed inside the feed trough body, and inner groove frames are installed inside each of the dividing grooves. A hopper is installed above the feed trough body, and a control panel is installed on one outer wall of the hopper. A discharge pipe is connected below the hopper, and the bottom end of the discharge pipe is movably connected to a movable plate via a rotating shaft. A baffle is installed below the movable plate, and a welding plate is installed on one inner wall below the hopper.

[0005] Preferably, one outer wall of the inner groove frame is connected to a positioning side plate, and the inner wall of the partition groove is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning side plate.

[0006] Preferably, a set spring is evenly installed on the outer wall above the feed trough body, and a pull rod is installed on the inner side of each set spring. One end of each pull rod is connected to a locking block, and the outer wall of each positioning side plate is provided with a locking groove that cooperates with the locking block.

[0007] Preferably, a first drive motor is installed on the inner side of the hopper, and the output end of the first drive motor is connected to a spiral feed rod through a drive shaft.

[0008] Preferably, a third drive motor is installed on the outer wall of one end of the welding plate, and the output end of the third drive motor is connected to a turntable through a drive shaft. A movable rod is movably installed on one end of the turntable, and a moving rod is movably connected to one end of the movable rod through a rotating shaft. One end of the moving rod is fixedly connected to a baffle.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing plate is installed on the inner wall of the hopper on one side of the welding plate, and a limit hole is provided on the inner side of the fixing plate.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the limiting hole are provided with limiting grooves, and the outer walls of both ends of one side of the moving rod are movably connected to the limiting grooves through limiting blocks.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) This utility model provides a pull rod, an inner groove frame and a positioning side plate. By pulling the pull rod outward, the pull rod drives the locking block away from the slot at the same time. Then, the inner groove frame is pulled out upward, and the positioning side plate is moved out of the positioning slot at the same time. Then, the inner groove frame can be removed for cleaning, which solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and cleaning.

[0013] (2) This utility model provides a turntable, a third drive motor and a second drive motor. The control panel controls the third drive motor and the second drive motor to rotate simultaneously. The turntable rotates through the operation of the third drive motor. The turntable drives one end of the movable rod to make a circular motion at the same time. The movable rod drives the moving rod to move left and right in a circular motion. This causes the moving rod to drive the baffle to move left and right at a uniform speed. As the baffle moves to the right, the gravity of the feed in the feeding pipe causes the movable plate to open downward to feed the feed. After the baffle moves to the left, it squeezes the movable plate upward to block the bottom of the feeding pipe. At the same time, the second drive motor drives the inner groove frame to move to the bottom of the feeding pipe. After feeding, the next inner groove frame is fed. This facilitates the quantitative feeding in the inner groove frame and solves the problem of having a quantitative feeding structure. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 A feed trough for broiler farming includes a base 1, a moving rod 17, and a positioning side plate 25. The top of the base 1 is provided with a moving groove 14, and a moving plate 11 is installed on the inner side of the moving groove 14. Pneumatic telescopic rods 15 are installed on both sides of one end of the moving plate 11. A second drive motor 12 is installed in the middle position inside the moving plate 11, and the output end of the second drive motor 12 is connected to the feed trough body 2 through a drive shaft. Dividing grooves 13 are evenly provided on the inner side of the feed trough body 2, and an inner groove frame 27 is installed on the inner side of each dividing groove 13. A hopper 5 is installed on the top of the feed trough body 2, and a control panel 8 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the hopper 5. A feeding pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 5, and the bottom end of the feeding pipe 4 is movably connected to a moving plate 16 through a rotating shaft. A baffle 3 is installed below the moving plate 16, and a welding plate 9 is installed on one side of the inner wall below the hopper 5.

[0022] The outer wall of the inner groove frame 27 is connected to a positioning side plate 25, and the inner wall of the partition groove 13 is provided with a positioning groove 26 that cooperates with the positioning side plate 25.

[0023] The outer wall above the feed trough body 2 is uniformly equipped with return springs 23, and the inner side of each return spring 23 is equipped with a pull rod 24. One end of each pull rod 24 is connected to a locking block 22. The outer wall of the positioning side plate 25 is provided with a locking groove 21 that cooperates with the locking block 22.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, when using this structure, by pulling the pull rod 24 outward, the pull rod 24 moves the locking block 22 away from the slot 21 at the same time, and then the inner slot frame 27 is pulled upward, and the positioning side plate 25 is moved out of the positioning slot 26 at the same time. Then the inner slot frame 27 is removed for cleaning.

[0025] Example 2: A first drive motor 6 is installed on the inner side of the hopper 5, and the output end of the first drive motor 6 is connected to a screw feed rod 7 through a drive shaft;

[0026] A third drive motor 20 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the welding plate 9, and the output end of the third drive motor 20 is connected to a turntable 10 through a drive shaft. A movable rod 18 is movably installed on one end of the turntable 10, and a moving rod 17 is movably connected to one end of the movable rod 18 through a rotating shaft. One end of the moving rod 17 is fixedly connected to the baffle 3.

[0027] A fixing plate 19 is installed on the inner wall of the hopper 5 on one side of the welding plate 9, and a limit hole is provided on the inner side of the fixing plate 19.

[0028] Both ends of the limiting hole are provided with limiting grooves, and the outer walls of both ends of the moving rod 17 are movably connected to the limiting grooves through limiting blocks;

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when using this structure, the control panel 8 controls the third drive motor 20 and the second drive motor 12 to rotate simultaneously. The third drive motor 20 rotates the turntable 10, which in turn drives one end of the movable rod 18 to move in a circular motion. The movable rod 18 drives the moving rod 17 to move left and right in a circular motion, which in turn drives the baffle 3 to move left and right at a uniform speed. As the baffle 3 moves to the right, the gravity of the feed in the feed pipe 4 causes the movable plate 16 to open downwards to discharge the feed. After the baffle 3 moves to the left, it squeezes the movable plate 16 upwards to block the lower part of the feed pipe 4. At the same time, the second drive motor 12 drives the inner trough frame 27 to move below the feed pipe 4. After feeding, the next inner trough frame 27 is fed, which facilitates the quantitative feeding in the inner trough frame 27.

[0030] Working principle: When using this device, firstly, feed is put into the hopper 5, and the first drive motor 6 is used to make the screw feeder 7 rotate to feed the feed. The feed enters the inner trough frame 27 through the feed pipe 4 for feeding.

[0031] Implementation steps for the first innovation point:

[0032] Step 1: Control the third drive motor 20 and the second drive motor 12 to rotate simultaneously through the control panel 8. The third drive motor 20 rotates the turntable 10, which in turn drives one end of the movable rod 18 to make a circular motion. The movable rod 18 drives the moving rod 17 to move left and right in a circular motion, thereby causing the moving rod 17 to drive the baffle 3 to move left and right at a uniform speed.

[0033] Step 2: Move the baffle 3 to the right. The weight of the feed in the feed pipe 4 causes the movable plate 16 to open downwards and feed the feed. After the baffle 3 moves to the left, it squeezes the movable plate 16 upwards to block the lower part of the feed pipe 4. At the same time, the second drive motor 12 drives the inner trough frame 27 to move to the bottom of the feed pipe 4. After feeding, feed the next inner trough frame 27 to facilitate the quantitative feeding in the inner trough frame 27.

[0034] Step 3: After the feed is fed into the multiple inner trough frames 27, the feed trough body 2 on the moving plate 11 is moved forward by the pneumatic telescopic rod 15 to make it easier for the chickens to eat.

[0035] Implementation steps for the second innovation point:

[0036] By pulling the lever 24 outward, the lever 24 moves the locking block 22 away from the slot 21, and then pulls the inner slot frame 27 upward. At the same time, the positioning side plate 25 moves out of the positioning slot 26, and then the inner slot frame 27 is removed for cleaning.
