Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed trough turning technology, and specifically relates to a feed trough turning device for livestock breeding. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, feed troughs are indispensable equipment for holding feed and water to meet the livestock's dietary needs. With the continuous expansion of farming scale and the increasing sophistication of farming practices, the management and maintenance of feed troughs have become increasingly important. During the feeding process, leftover feed and water often remain in the troughs. To ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed troughs and the freshness of the feed and water, regular cleaning is necessary. Traditional cleaning methods are mostly manual, which is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming but also inefficient. Especially in large-scale farms, manual cleaning is insufficient to meet practical needs. To improve cleaning efficiency, feed trough turning devices have emerged.

[0003] Existing feed trough tipping devices have a significant problem: when the feed trough is tipped over to empty leftover water and feed, leftover feed easily sticks to the inner surface. Firstly, this sticky feed is difficult to flush out smoothly with the tipping, resulting in incomplete cleaning. The accumulated feed deteriorates, not only breeding bacteria and mold, contaminating subsequent feed and water, but also potentially causing livestock health problems such as diarrhea and infectious diseases, severely impacting growth and development and overall farming efficiency. Secondly, the long-term adhesion of leftover feed to the feed trough surface gradually forms a layer of grime, corroding the feed trough material, shortening its lifespan, and increasing farming costs.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a feed trough turning device for livestock breeding, so as to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a feed trough turning device for livestock breeding, including a base, a driving turning mechanism at one end of the base, a feed trough at one end of the driving turning mechanism, the other end of the feed trough being mounted on the base, a synchronous power mechanism at one end of the feed trough, and cleaning plates symmetrically arranged on the synchronous power mechanism. The two cleaning plates are located in the inner cavity of the feed trough and are slidably installed with the feed trough.

[0008] The drive flipping mechanism is activated, which causes the material trough to rotate half a revolution on the base. The synchronous power mechanism is activated at the same time, causing the two cleaning plates to move closer to each other in the material trough.

[0009] Furthermore, support legs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base, and the four support legs are connected to each other by connecting rods.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive tilting mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the base. A first synchronous pulley is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor, and a synchronous belt is rotatably mounted on the first synchronous pulley.

[0011] Furthermore, a second synchronous pulley is rotatably mounted on the other end of the synchronous belt, and a rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on one end of the second synchronous pulley. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the base, and the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly mounted to the material trough.

[0012] Furthermore, the material trough is semi-circular, and a connecting shaft is fixedly installed at the other end of the material trough. The other end of the connecting shaft is rotatably installed on the base.

[0013] Furthermore, the synchronous power mechanism includes a power motor, which is fixedly mounted on the trough. A bidirectional threaded rod is fixedly mounted on the output end of the power motor, and the threads on the bidirectional threaded rod are symmetrical and opposite.

[0014] Furthermore, the two cleaning plates are respectively threaded onto the two threads of the bidirectional threaded rod, and the base is provided with a sliding groove for the two cleaning plates to move.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model employs a synchronous power mechanism. Upon activation, the synchronous power mechanism generates power that simultaneously drives two cleaning plates. Under the action of the synchronous power mechanism, these two cleaning plates move closer to each other along a specific track within the inner cavity of the material trough. During this approach, the cleaning plates come into close contact with the inner surface of the material trough, utilizing surface friction and pushing force to scrape and push away residual material that has not been smoothly discharged during the turning process due to adhesion. The remaining material is separated from the inner surface of the material trough and gathered together. With the continuous movement of the cleaning plates, this removed material is eventually discharged from the material trough under gravity, ensuring a more thorough cleaning of the material trough. This effectively solves the problem of incomplete cleaning caused by residual material adhesion in traditional material trough turning devices, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of material trough cleaning and contributing to maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the material trough.

[0017] 2. When the material trough needs to be cleaned, the drive tilting mechanism is activated first. After the drive tilting mechanism is activated, it starts to operate and generate power. This power acts on the material trough, causing the material trough to rotate on the base with its connection point to the base as the axis. The rotation angle is set to half a revolution. Since the set rotation angle is half a revolution, the material trough will gradually tilt from a horizontal or near-horizontal filling state to a vertical or near-vertical tilting state. During this process, most of the remaining water and material in the material trough will flow out to one side under the action of gravity, achieving preliminary tilting and cleaning.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a feed trough turning device for livestock breeding, including a base 1, a driving turning mechanism 2 at one end of the base 1, a feed trough 3 at one end of the driving turning mechanism 2, the other end of the feed trough 3 being mounted on the base 1, a synchronous power mechanism 4 at one end of the feed trough 3, and cleaning plates 5 symmetrically arranged on the synchronous power mechanism 4. The two cleaning plates 5 are located in the inner cavity of the feed trough 3, and the two cleaning plates 5 are slidably installed with the feed trough 3.

[0031] Start the drive flipping mechanism 2, which drives the material trough 3 to rotate half a turn on the base 1. Start the synchronous power mechanism 4 to drive the two cleaning plates 5 to move closer to each other in the material trough 3.

[0032] In livestock farming, when the feed trough needs to be cleaned, the drive tilting mechanism 2 is activated first. After the drive tilting mechanism 2 is activated, it starts to operate and generate power. This power acts on the feed trough 3, causing the feed trough 3 to rotate on the base 1 with its connection point with the base 1 as the axis. The rotation angle is set to half a revolution. Since the set rotation angle is half a revolution, the feed trough 3 will gradually tilt from a horizontal or near-horizontal feeding state to a vertical or near-vertical tilting state. During this process, most of the remaining water and feed in the feed trough 3 will flow out to one side under the action of gravity, achieving preliminary tilting and cleaning.

[0033] Subsequently, the synchronous power mechanism 4 is activated. The synchronous power mechanism 4 begins operation, generating power to simultaneously drive the two cleaning plates 5. Under the action of the synchronous power mechanism 4, these two cleaning plates 5 move closer to each other along a specific track within the inner cavity of the material trough 3. During this approach, the cleaning plates 5 come into close contact with the inner surface of the material trough 3, utilizing the friction and pushing force of their surfaces to scrape and push away the residual material that has not been smoothly discharged during the turning process due to adhesion. The remaining material is separated from the inner surface of the material trough 3 and gathered together. With the continuous movement of the cleaning plates 5, this cleaned-out material is eventually discharged from the material trough 3 under the action of gravity, thus ensuring a more thorough cleaning of the material trough 3. This effectively solves the problem of incomplete cleaning caused by residual material adhesion in traditional material trough turning devices, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of material trough cleaning and helping to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the material trough.

[0034] In one embodiment, for the base 1, support legs 101 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1, and the four support legs 101 are connected to each other by connecting rods 102.

[0035] The support legs 101 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. Their main function is to provide stable support for the entire material trough turning device. The connecting rod 102 is connected between the four support legs 101, which further enhances the integrity and stability of the support structure.

[0036] In one embodiment, the drive flipping mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 201, which is fixedly mounted on the base 1. A first synchronous pulley 202 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 201, and a synchronous belt 203 is rotatably mounted on the first synchronous pulley 202.

[0037] The other end of the synchronous belt 203 is rotatably mounted with a second synchronous pulley 204. One end of the second synchronous pulley 204 is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft 205. The rotating shaft 205 is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and the other end of the rotating shaft 205 is fixedly mounted with the material trough 3.

[0038] The material trough 3 is semi-circular, and a connecting shaft 301 is fixedly installed at the other end of the material trough 3. The other end of the connecting shaft 301 is rotatably installed on the base 1.

[0039] When the trough 3 needs to be started to flip, the drive motor 201, which is fixedly mounted on the base 1, is started first. The drive motor 201 starts running, and its output drives the first synchronous pulley 202 to rotate. Since the synchronous belt 203 is connected to the first synchronous pulley 202 and the second synchronous pulley 204 respectively and is in a taut state, as the first synchronous pulley 202 rotates, the second synchronous pulley 204 also rotates synchronously through the transmission action of the synchronous belt 203. The rotating shaft 205, which is fixedly connected to the second synchronous pulley 204, begins to rotate around its own axis on the base 1 under the drive of the second synchronous pulley 204. One end of the trough 3 is fixedly mounted to the rotating shaft 205, so the trough 3, driven by the rotating shaft 205, begins to flip on the base 1 with the connecting shaft 301 as the fulcrum. Because the trough 3 is semi-circular, this shape design facilitates the accumulation and outflow of residual water and material to one side under gravity during the flipping process. When the drive motor 201 continues to run, the rotating shaft 205 drives the material trough 3 to rotate half a turn, causing the material trough 3 to flip from the initial horizontal or near-horizontal material-filling position to a vertical or near-vertical tilting position, thereby achieving the purpose of discharging most of the remaining water and material in the material trough 3 by gravity, completing the initial cleaning action, and also preparing for the subsequent synchronous power mechanism 4 to drive the cleaning plate 5 to further clean the remaining material adhering to the material trough.

[0040] In one embodiment, the synchronous power mechanism 4 includes a power motor 401, which is fixedly mounted on the feed trough 3. A bidirectional threaded rod 402 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the power motor 401, and the threads on the bidirectional threaded rod 402 are symmetrical and opposite.

[0041] The two cleaning plates 5 are respectively threaded onto the two threads of the bidirectional threaded rod 402, and the base 1 is provided with a sliding groove for the two cleaning plates 5 to move.

[0042] When it is necessary to clean the residual material adhering to the feed trough 3, the power motor 401, which is fixedly installed on the feed trough 3, is started. After the power motor 401 starts, its output end drives the bidirectional threaded rod 402 to start rotating. Since the threads on the bidirectional threaded rod 402 are symmetrical and opposite, and the two cleaning plates 5 are respectively threaded at the two threads of the bidirectional threaded rod 402, when the bidirectional threaded rod 402 rotates, the two cleaning plates 5 move closer to each other under the action of the bidirectional threaded rod 402. During the process of approaching, the cleaning plates 5 move along the sliding groove opened on the base 1. The sliding groove provides guidance and limit for the movement of the cleaning plates 5, ensuring that the cleaning plates 5 can move stably and accurately in the inner cavity of the feed trough 3. The cleaning plates 5 are in close contact with the inner surface of the feed trough 3, and the friction of their surface can effectively scrape off the residual material adhering to the feed trough 3 so that it can be discharged from the feed trough 3, thereby achieving a deep cleaning of the feed trough 3. This solves the problem of incomplete cleaning of the feed trough due to residual material adhering to it, ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed trough, provides a good feeding environment for livestock farming, and is conducive to the healthy growth of livestock and the improvement of breeding efficiency.
