Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a feeding trough for animal husbandry. Background Technology
[0002] In modern animal husbandry, providing suitable feeding troughs for livestock is an important step in ensuring breeding efficiency and livestock health. Feeding troughs are generally made of high-strength materials, such as stainless steel and plastic, which can withstand the collisions and trampling of livestock and are not easily damaged. However, traditional feeding troughs have certain defects in actual use.
[0003] On the one hand, the problem of food scraps remaining in the troughs currently requires manual removal in most livestock feeding troughs. This process not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also increases the workload of farmers. In large-scale farming, manual removal of scraps is extremely inefficient and cannot meet the needs of efficient farming. At the same time, manual operation may also lead to the accumulation and spoilage of food scraps due to untimely cleaning, which can breed bacteria and pests, thereby affecting the health of livestock and increasing farming risks and disease prevention costs. On the other hand, traditional feeding troughs cannot effectively break up the food when feeding, which makes the food easy to pile up. Livestock may compete for the food during feeding, and weaker livestock may not be able to get enough food, affecting the uniform growth of the livestock group. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model discloses a feeding trough for livestock breeding, which aims to solve the technical problems of low efficiency in manually removing residue and inconvenience in breaking up food.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a livestock feeding trough, comprising a trough body, a cleaning mechanism fixedly connected to the right side of the trough body, a feeding bin fixedly connected above the cleaning mechanism on the right side of the trough body, a dispersing mechanism fixedly connected to the back inside the feeding bin, and the dispersing mechanism penetrating through the front and rear shells of the feeding bin.
[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning mounting plate and a cleaning moving plate. A cleaning motor is fixedly connected to the cleaning mounting plate, and a cleaning threaded rod is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cleaning motor. Shovel blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the front and the lower edge of the cleaning moving plate. The shovel blocks are in close contact with the inner wall of the tank. Adaptive guide grooves that are adapted to the thickness of the tank shell are fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning moving plate. A cleaning threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the right-side adaptive guide groove, and the cleaning threaded sleeve is threaded to the surface of the cleaning threaded rod.
[0007] The material feeding hopper body has a material feeding hopper inside, and several material feeding baffles are evenly and fixedly connected inside the material feeding hopper. A discharge cavity is opened at the bottom of the material feeding hopper, and a baffle is fixedly connected inside the discharge cavity. Several baffle passage slots are evenly opened on the baffle.
[0008] Preferably, the dispersing mechanism includes a dispersing mounting plate and a dispersing strip plate. A sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the front of the feeding hopper. A dispersing motor is fixedly connected to the dispersing mounting plate. A dispersing drive disc is fixedly connected to the drive end of the dispersing motor. A dispersing drive rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dispersing drive disc. A plurality of dispersing through slots are evenly opened on the dispersing strip plate. A transverse strip groove is fixedly connected to the dispersing strip plate.
[0009] Preferably, the dispersing strip is slidably connected to the top of the baffle, the dispersing drive rod is inserted into the transverse strip groove, and the end of the dispersing strip away from the dispersing motor is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding sleeve.
[0010] Preferably, a feeding support plate is fixedly connected to the back of the feeding hopper, the feeding support plate is fixedly connected to the back of the trough in the middle, and a support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the trough.
[0011] Preferably, a discharge sliding plate is slidably connected to the right side of the tank, and a discharge outlet is provided on the right side of the tank.
[0012] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0013] I. This utility model, by setting up a cleaning mechanism, uses a cleaning motor to drive the cleaning threaded rod to rotate. The cleaning threaded sleeve, due to the threaded connection and the matching guide groove, makes linear movement on the cleaning threaded rod, thereby driving the cleaning moving plate to move inside the tank. Since the shovel on the cleaning moving plate is in close contact with the inner wall surface of the tank, the shovel scrapes the food residue on the inner wall of the tank from the left to the right for centralized cleaning. No manual operation is required, which greatly reduces the workload of farmers in cleaning the feeding trough, reduces labor costs, and allows farmers to devote more time and energy to other important breeding processes.
[0014] II. This utility model incorporates a dispersing mechanism. After the feeder pours the feed from the feeding hopper into the compartments formed by the feeding baffles, the dispersing motor drives the dispersing drive disc to rotate, which in turn drives the dispersing drive rod to make a circular motion along the drive end of the dispersing motor. Since the sliding of the dispersing strip plate is restricted inside the discharge chamber, when the dispersing drive rod rotates, it drives the dispersing strip plate to make a reciprocating linear motion through the transverse strip groove. The position of the baffle through groove remains unchanged, while the position of the dispersing through groove keeps changing. This results in the feed being dispersed by the dispersing strip plate after entering the discharge chamber before entering the baffle through groove and finally entering the trough. The food is dispersed when it enters the trough, avoiding food accumulation and allowing livestock to obtain food more evenly. This helps reduce competition among livestock, ensures that each animal receives sufficient food, promotes the balanced growth of the livestock group, and improves the overall quality of breeding.

[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] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a livestock feeding trough, including a trough body 1, a cleaning mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the right side of the trough body 1, a feeding bin 3 fixedly connected above the cleaning mechanism 2 on the right side of the trough body 1, a dispersing mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the back inside the feeding bin 3, and the dispersing mechanism 4 penetrating through the front and rear shells of the feeding bin 3.
[0022] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a cleaning mounting plate 201 and a cleaning moving plate 202. A cleaning motor 203 is fixedly connected to the cleaning mounting plate 201. A cleaning threaded rod 204 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cleaning motor 203. Shovel blocks 205 are fixedly connected to both sides of the front and the lower edge of the cleaning moving plate 202. The shovel blocks 205 are in close contact with the inner wall of the tank 1. Adaptive guide grooves 206 adapted to the thickness of the tank 1 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning moving plate 202. A cleaning threaded sleeve 207 is fixedly connected to the right adaptive guide groove 206. The cleaning threaded sleeve 207 is threadedly connected to the surface of the cleaning threaded rod 204.
[0023] The material feeding hopper 3 has a material feeding hopper 301 inside. Several material feeding partitions 302 are evenly and fixedly connected inside the material feeding hopper 301. A discharge cavity 303 is opened at the bottom of the material feeding hopper 301. A baffle 304 is fixedly connected inside the discharge cavity 303. Several baffle passage grooves 305 are evenly opened on the baffle 304.
[0024] The dispersing mechanism 4 includes a dispersing mounting plate 401 and a dispersing strip plate 402. A sliding sleeve 403 is fixedly connected to the front of the feeding hopper 3. A dispersing motor 404 is fixedly connected to the dispersing mounting plate 401. A dispersing drive disc 405 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the dispersing motor 404. A dispersing drive rod 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dispersing drive disc 405. Several dispersing passage slots 407 are evenly opened on the dispersing strip plate 402. A transverse strip groove 408 is fixedly connected to the dispersing strip plate 402. The dispersing strip plate 402 is slidably connected to the top of the baffle 304. The dispersing drive rod 406 is inserted into the transverse strip groove 408. The end of the dispersing strip plate 402 away from the dispersing motor 404 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding sleeve 403.
[0025] In this embodiment, a cleaning mechanism 2 is provided, and a cleaning motor 203 drives the cleaning threaded rod 204 to rotate. The cleaning threaded sleeve 207 moves linearly on the cleaning threaded rod 204 due to the threaded connection and the matching guide groove 206, thereby driving the cleaning moving plate 202 to move inside the tank 1. Since the shovel blocks 205 on the cleaning moving plate 202 are in close contact with the inner wall surface of the tank 1, the shovel blocks 205 scrape food residue from the left side to the right side for centralized cleaning. A dispersing mechanism 4 is also provided. After the feeder pours feed from the feed bin 301 into the compartments formed by the feed partitions 302, the dispersing mechanism 4 is activated. The dispersing motor 404 drives the dispersing drive disc 405 to rotate, which in turn drives the dispersing drive rod 406 to make a circular motion along the drive end of the dispersing motor 404. Since the dispersing strip plate 402 is restricted to sliding inside the discharge chamber 303, when the dispersing drive rod 406 rotates, it drives the dispersing strip plate 402 to make a reciprocating linear motion through the transverse strip groove 408. The position of the baffle through groove 305 remains unchanged, while the position of the dispersing through groove 407 keeps changing. As a result, after the feed is put into the discharge chamber 303, it will be dispersed by the dispersing strip plate 402 and then enter the baffle through groove 305, and finally enter the interior of the tank 1.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a feeding support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the back of the feeding hopper 3. The middle part of the feeding support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the back of the trough 1. A support frame 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the trough 1. A discharge sliding plate 7 is slidably connected to the right side of the trough 1. A discharge outlet 8 is opened on the right side of the trough 1.
[0027] Since the feeding hopper 3 is close to the rear of the tank 1, a feeding support plate 5 is set up for auxiliary support to ensure the stability of the device. After the residue is pushed to the right side of the tank 1 by the cleaning moving plate 202, the discharge sliding plate 7 can be opened and the residue is discharged through the discharge port 8. The front of the tank 1 is provided with a slot that fits into the discharge sliding plate 7 to ensure that the feed inside the tank 1 will not leak out when the residue is not cleaned.
[0028] Working principle: By setting up a cleaning mechanism 2, the cleaning motor 203 drives the cleaning threaded rod 204 to rotate. The cleaning threaded sleeve 207 moves linearly on the cleaning threaded rod 204 due to the threaded connection and the matching guide groove 206, which in turn drives the cleaning moving plate 202 to move inside the tank 1. Since the shovel 205 on the cleaning moving plate 202 is in close contact with the inner wall surface of the tank 1, the shovel 205 shovels the food residue on the inner wall of the tank 1 from the left to the right for centralized cleaning. A dispersing mechanism 4 is also set up. After the feeder pours the feed from the feed bin 301 into the compartments formed by the feed partitions 302, the mechanism is activated. The dispersing motor 404 drives the dispersing drive disc 405 to rotate, which in turn drives the dispersing drive rod 406 to make a circular motion along the drive end of the dispersing motor 404. Since the dispersing strip plate 402 is restricted to sliding inside the discharge chamber 303, when the dispersing drive rod 406 rotates, it drives the dispersing strip plate 402 to make a reciprocating linear motion through the transverse strip groove 408. The position of the baffle through groove 305 remains unchanged, while the position of the dispersing through groove 407 keeps changing. As a result, after the feed is put into the discharge chamber 303, it will be dispersed by the dispersing strip plate 402 and then enter the baffle through groove 305, and finally enter the interior of the tank 1.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
