[0002] To facilitate the feeding and watering of pigs, integrated water bowl and feed trough systems are often required. Utility model patent application CN201921527570.0 discloses such an integrated water bowl and feed trough pig farming device. By controlling the electric opening and closing of the water trough, it can automatically feed drinking water and / or feed to pigs in the pigsty using the same space, reducing the construction cost of the pigsty and thus the feeding cost. It also avoids repetitive work for farmers, reducing their workload and improving market competitiveness. However, according to the disclosed technical solution, existing integrated water bowl and feed trough systems have two drawbacks. First, when the temperature is low, the feed and water can easily cool down too quickly, making it difficult to ensure safe feeding. Second, after the pigs finish eating, a large amount of feed residue easily remains at the bottom of the feed trough, making it difficult to clean quickly.

[0003] Therefore, how to design an integrated water bowl and feed trough device has become the problem we need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting pipe is welded to the bottom of the material box, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe extends to the bottom of the inner side of the material trough. The sliding sleeve is welded to one side of the connecting pipe and is located inside the material trough. The slider is locked inside the sliding sleeve and is connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve by a spring. One end of the gate is welded to the slider, and the other end of the gate passes through the sliding sleeve and extends to the inner side of the connecting pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the scraper is clamped to the inner wall at the bottom of the trough, and the top of the other end of the scraper is clamped to the inner side of the connecting pipe. The motor is installed on the outer side of one end of the trough by bolts, and a screw is installed on the output shaft of the motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the other end of the screw passes through the inner side of the trough and is mounted on the inner wall of the other end of the trough via a bearing, and the scraper is threaded onto the outer side of the screw.

[0010] Furthermore, a partition is welded to the inner wall of the material trough, the partition is evenly distributed on the inner side of the material trough, the partition is located at the top of the scraper, the clamp is welded to the bottom of the material trough, the heating plate is welded to the bottom of the material trough, the heating plate is located inside the clamp, and the guide sleeve is welded to one side of the clamp.

[0013] Beneficial effects: 1. When using this integrated water bowl and feed trough device, feed or water is poured into the inner side of the feed box. The feed or water flows down to the inner side of the feed trough through the connecting pipe. When there is a lot of feed or water in the feed trough, the pressure of the feed or water squeezes the slider. The slider moves to the right, compressing the spring inside the sliding sleeve, which in turn drives the gate to close the connecting pipe. It can automatically perform feeding and closing operations to prevent feed or water from overflowing and ensure the supply of feed and water for pigs. When the feed or water in the feed trough cools down due to the low temperature, the heating plate heats the bottom of the feed trough to maintain the temperature of the feed and water. The heat from the heating plate will also cause the air in the cover to expand, causing the piston to stretch the spring and squeeze the button, thereby automatically closing the heating plate. This can ensure the stable temperature of the feed and water in the feed trough, thus avoiding the impact of low or high temperatures on the pigs' feeding speed and safety.

[0014] 2. After the pigs finish eating, this integrated water bowl and feed trough device adds water to the feed box and feed trough, and turns on the motor. The motor drives the scraper to move back and forth at the bottom of the feed trough through the screw, thus effectively cleaning the bottom of the feed trough. Then, the valve on the drain pipe is opened to discharge the water and washed feed out through the drain pipe. It can automatically clean the bottom of the feed trough, reduce feed residue, and thus ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed trough, ensuring the health and safety of the pigs.

The button 19 is connected to the motor 13 through a valve. The wire is connected to the heating plate 15. After the pigs finish eating, water is added to the feed box 1 and feed trough 2, and the motor 13 is turned on. The motor 13 drives the scraper 11 to move back and forth at the bottom of the feed trough 2 through the screw 12, thereby effectively cleaning the bottom of the feed trough 2. Then, the valve on the drain pipe 20 is opened to discharge the water and washed feed out through the drain pipe 20. This can automatically clean the bottom of the feed trough 2, reduce feed residue, and ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed trough 2, thus ensuring the health and safety of the pigs.

[0023] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 5 is welded to the bottom of the material box 1, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe 5 extends to the bottom of the inner side of the material trough 2. The sliding sleeve 6 is welded to one side of the connecting pipe 5 and is located inside the material trough 2. The slider 7 is engaged inside the sliding sleeve 6 and is connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 6 by a spring 8. One end of the gate plate 9 is welded to the slider 7, and the other end of the gate plate 9 passes through the sliding sleeve 6 and extends to the inner side of the connecting pipe 5. A partition 1 is welded to the inner wall of the material trough 2. 0. The partition plates 10 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the material trough 2. The partition plates 10 are located on top of the scraper 11. The retaining cover 14 is welded to the bottom of the material trough 2. The heating plate 15 is welded to the bottom of the material trough 2. The heating plate 15 is located inside the retaining cover 14. The guide sleeve 16 is welded to one side of the retaining cover 14. The outer side of the piston 17 is clamped on the inner wall of the guide sleeve 16. The piston 17 is connected to the inner wall of one end of the guide sleeve 16 through a spring 18. The other end of the guide sleeve 16... A button 19 is welded to the inner wall. Insulation plates 22 are installed on the feed trough 2, connecting pipe 5, and feed box 1. During use, feed or water is poured into the inner side of the feed box 1. The feed or water flows downwards through the connecting pipe 5 to the inner side of the feed trough 2. When there is a large amount of feed or water in the feed trough 2, the pressure of the feed or water squeezes the slider 7. The slider 7 moves to the right, compressing the spring 8 inside the sliding sleeve 6, which in turn drives the gate 9 to close the connecting pipe 5. This allows for automatic feeding and closing, preventing feed or water from spilling outwards. The heating plate 15 heats the bottom of the feed trough 2 when the feed or water cools down due to the low temperature, ensuring the temperature of the feed and water. The heat from the heating plate 15 also causes the air inside the cover 14 to expand, which causes the piston 17 to stretch the spring 18 and press the button 19, thereby automatically turning off the heating plate 15. This ensures that the temperature of the feed and water in the feed trough 2 is stable, thus avoiding the impact on the pig's feeding speed and safety due to low or high temperatures.

[0024] This integrated water bowl and feed trough device provides power to all electrical equipment via an external power source. During use, feed or water is poured into the inner side of the feed hopper 1. The feed or water flows downwards through the connecting pipe 5 to the inner side of the feed trough 2. When there is a large amount of feed or water in the feed trough 2, the pressure of the feed or water compresses the slider 7. The slider 7 moves to the right, compressing the spring 8 inside the sliding sleeve 6, which in turn drives the gate 9 to close the connecting pipe 5. This allows for automatic feeding and closing, preventing feed or water from overflowing and ensuring the supply of feed and water for the pigs. When the feed or water cools down in the feed trough 2 due to low air temperature, the heating plate 15 heats the bottom of the feed trough 2 to maintain the temperature of the feed and water. The heat from the heating plate 15 also causes the air inside the cover 14 to expand. The expansion causes piston 17 to stretch spring 18 and press button 19, thereby automatically shutting off heating plate 15. This ensures stable temperature of feed and water in feed trough 2, preventing the pig's feeding speed and safety from being affected by low or high temperatures. After the pig finishes feeding, water is added to feed box 1 and feed trough 2, and motor 13 is turned on. Motor 13 drives scraper 11 to move back and forth at the bottom of feed trough 2 via screw 12, effectively cleaning the bottom of feed trough 2. Then, the valve on drain pipe 20 is opened to discharge water and washed feed out through drain pipe 20. This automatic cleaning of the bottom of feed trough 2 reduces feed residue, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of feed trough 2 and protecting the health and safety of pigs.

[0025] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution.
