Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding trough technology, specifically a self-cleaning livestock breeding trough. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the production process that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. Existing breeding troughs are generally trough structures. After the animals finish eating, the breeding troughs need to be cleaned by workers to collect and process the remaining feed before feeding them again. This can prevent uneaten feed from accumulating at the bottom of the breeding trough and becoming moldy. During cleaning, workers usually sweep and collect the feed inside the breeding trough or lift one end to collect it, which is quite laborious and not very effective. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4This embodiment provides a technical solution: a self-cleaning livestock trough, including a support base 1 and a feed trough 2. During feeding, pelleted feed can be placed inside the feed trough 2. The upper end of the support base 1 is rotatably connected to the middle of the feed trough 2. The bottom of the feed trough 2 is slidably connected to a moving shaft 6 driven by a power component. Guide seats 8 are provided in the middle of the left and right inner side walls of the support base 1. Guide grooves 5 are opened in the middle of the guide seats 8, providing the opening position for the guide grooves 5. The right ends of the two guide grooves 5 are horizontally set, and the left ends of the guide grooves 5 are inclined upward from right to left. The two guide grooves 5 are slidably connected to the moving shaft 6. The two ends of the moving shaft 6 slide to the left along the guide grooves 5. The moving shaft 6 passes over the feed trough to the left. The rotation axis of feed trough 2 slides with the left end of guide groove 5, and the vertical direction of moving shaft 6 increases as it moves. Moving shaft 6 lifts the left end of feed trough 2 through slide block 7. Feed trough 2 rotates around its central axis. Baffle 3 is rotatably connected to the right end of feed trough 2. A linkage assembly for automatically opening baffle 3 is provided at the front end of support base 1. Vibration motor 4 is provided inside support base 1. The input end of vibration motor 4 is electrically connected to the output end of external controller. When vibration motor 4 works, it drives support base 1 to vibrate. Support base 1 drives feed trough 2 to vibrate. Vibration can break the static friction between feeds, reduce clumping and adhesion, and ensure feed flow. The power component includes electric push rod 9 and round tube 10. Electric push rod 9 is set at the bottom of feed trough 2. A circular tube 10 is located on the right side of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 9. The circular tube 10 is rotatably connected to the moving shaft 6. The input end of the electric push rod 9 is electrically connected to the output end of an external controller. When the telescopic end of the electric push rod 9 retracts, it drives the moving shaft 6 to move to the left along the slide 7 through the circular tube 10. Two slides 7 are provided at the bottom of the feed trough 2. Both slides 7 are slidably connected to the moving shaft 6. The connecting rod assembly includes a first connecting rod 11 and a second connecting rod 12. The first connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the front end of the support base 1. The second connecting rod 12 is located at the front end of the baffle 3. The right end of the first connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the second connecting rod 12. The first connecting rod 11 is inclined upward from left to right. When the feed trough 2 rotates clockwise, it will drive the baffle 3 to rotate around the shaft. The support base 1 and the feed trough 2... The wall, connecting rod 12, and connecting rod 11 form a quadrilateral structure. This structure causes the right ends of connecting rods 12 and 11 to move downwards, gradually bringing connecting rod 11 to a horizontal position. Connecting rod 12 then pushes connecting rod 11 to rotate counter-clockwise, causing the baffle 3 to rotate counter-clockwise, thus opening the right end of the feed trough 2. A rubber pad 13 is located on the left side of the baffle 3, contacting the discharge port on the right side of the feed trough 2. The rubber pad 13 has some elasticity, improving the seal between the baffle 3 and the feed trough 2. The interior of the feed trough 2 has a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer 17, which has good non-stick properties and reduces feed residue. A rubber block 14 is located at the bottom of the support base 1.The lower surface of the rubber block 14 is provided with a base plate 15, and the upper surface of the base plate 15 has evenly distributed mounting holes 16. The rubber block 14 has a cushioning effect to absorb shock, and the base plate 15 and mounting holes 16 facilitate the fixing of the components above.

[0021] The working principle of the self-cleaning livestock trough provided by this utility model is as follows: During feeding, pelleted feed can be placed inside the feed trough 2. After feeding, the external controller is adjusted, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 9 retracts, driving the moving shaft 6 to move to the left along the slide block 7 through the round tube 10. At the same time, both ends of the moving shaft 6 slide to the left along the guide groove 5. After the moving shaft 6 passes the rotation axis of the feed trough 2 to the left, it slides with the left end of the guide groove 5. The left end of the guide groove 5 is inclined upward from right to left, so the vertical height of the moving shaft 6 increases when it moves. The moving shaft 6 lifts the left end of the feed trough 2 through the slide block 7, and the feed trough 2 rotates around its central axis. The axis is centrally located, so the weight difference between the two ends of the feed trough 2 is small, making driving effortless. The feed trough 2 rotates clockwise. When the feed trough 2 is in operation, the baffle 3 will rotate around the axis. The walls of the support base 1 and the feed trough 2, together with the connecting rod 12 and the connecting rod 11, will form a quadrilateral structure. At the same time, the right ends of the connecting rod 12 and the connecting rod 11 will move downwards, and the connecting rod 11 will gradually become horizontal. The connecting rod 12 will push the connecting rod 11 to rotate counterclockwise. The connecting rod 11 will drive the baffle 3 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby opening the right end of the feed trough 2. The feed inside the feed trough 2 will then roll down to the right and be discharged due to gravity. At the same time, the vibration motor 4 will work to drive the support base 1 to vibrate. The support base 1 will drive the feed trough 2 to vibrate. The vibration can break the static friction between the feed, reduce clumping and adhesion, and ensure that the feed flows out. Meanwhile, the polytetrafluoroethylene layer 17 has good non-stick properties, which can also reduce feed residue.

[0022] It is worth noting that the vibration motor 4 and electric actuator 9 disclosed in the above embodiments can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The vibration motor 4 can be a vibration motor of model JZO-2.5-6, and the electric actuator 9 can be an electric actuator of model LX700. The external controller controls the operation of the electric actuator 9 and the vibration motor 4 using methods commonly used in the prior art.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
