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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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 this utility model.
[0025] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature; in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an anti-accumulation feeding hopper, including a hopper body 1 and a feeding tray 6. The hopper body 1 is vertically continuous, with a feed inlet 2 at the upper end and a side wall opening 4 at the lower end. A feeding tray connector is provided on the hopper body 1. A conical protrusion 7 is provided on the base. The hopper body 1 is detachably mounted on the feeding tray 6 via the feeding tray connector, and the top of the conical protrusion 7 is located inside the hopper body 1. A discharge port is formed between the side wall opening 4 and the conical protrusion 7. The feeding tray 6 and the hopper body 1 can be made of materials such as plastic, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel. The hopper body 1 is preferably a conical hopper that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The feed inlet 2 is generally located at the top of the hopper body 1. During installation, the bottom of the hopper body 1 is connected to the outer wall of the conical protrusion 7, so that the conical top of the conical protrusion 7 is located inside the hopper body 1, and the bottom part is located outside the hopper body 1, allowing the feed to flow out of the hopper body 1 through the conical protrusion 7. When in use, feed is put into the feed hopper body 1 through the feed inlet 2. The feed is guided through the outer wall of the conical protrusion 7 to the feed tray 6 outside the feed outlet. Broilers or other fed animals eat through the feed tray 6.
[0027] Furthermore, the lower end of the feed hopper body 1 is provided with multiple side wall openings 4 spaced circumferentially, thereby forming multiple discharge ports around the conical protrusion 7, increasing the discharge area and facilitating simultaneous feeding by multiple animals.
[0028] Optionally, there are 3-4 side wall openings 4 spaced apart, and the connecting parts of the material barrel body 1 are arranged between adjacent side wall openings 4.
[0029] In a more detailed implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the side wall opening 4 is an arched side wall opening facing downwards, and the arch height is preferably 3-10cm to facilitate the flow of feed out of the feed hopper body 1.
[0030] To prevent animals from accidentally falling into the feed hopper body 1, a mesh baffle 3 is provided at the feed inlet 2 of the feed hopper body 1. The mesh spacing is preferably set at 2-4cm to facilitate feeding.
[0031] Furthermore, the outer edge of the feed tray 6 is provided with an upward-curving baffle to prevent feed from overflowing from the feed tray 6.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the tray connector includes a locking block 5 disposed on the material bucket body 1; the conical protrusion 7 is provided with a locking groove 9 that matches the locking block 5. Before use, the material bucket body 1 and the material tray 6 are assembled by engaging the locking block 5 into the locking groove 9. After a period of use, the connection between the locking block 5 and the locking groove 9 is released, and the material bucket body 1 and the material tray 6 are separated for easy cleaning. This improves the convenience of connection and disassembly, and also helps to improve the efficiency and stability of the connection, making it highly applicable and practical.
[0033] Preferably, the locking block 5 is disposed on the outer side wall of the feed bucket body 1, and the locking groove 9 is also disposed on the part of the conical protrusion 7 located outside the feed bucket body 1, ensuring that the connection structure between the feed bucket body 1 and the feed tray 6 is located outside the feed bucket body 1, which can prevent feed from entering the gap at the connection between the locking block 5 and the locking groove 9, making it difficult to clean the feed bucket, or causing residual feed to mold and affect the health of livestock and poultry due to incomplete cleaning.
[0034] Because the outer wall of the conical protrusion 7 is sloped, and the bottom of the feed hopper body 1 is flat, if the slot 9 is directly set on the outer wall of the conical protrusion 7, to avoid interference, the locking block 5 needs to be located entirely or partially below the feed hopper body 1, so that the feed can easily enter the locking gap. Therefore, if Figure 4 As shown, a transition block 8 is preferably provided on the outer wall of the conical protrusion 7, the bottom surface of which matches the curvature of the outer wall of the conical protrusion 7; the slot 9 is formed on the transition block 8, so that the slot 5 can be inserted as shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown, it is connected to the outer wall of the material barrel body 1, and its bottom is flush with the bottom of the material barrel body 1. It is not affected by the conical protrusion 7 when it is inserted.
[0035] Furthermore, the card block 5 is an L-shaped card block; the card slot 9 is an L-shaped card slot; the L-shaped card block is engaged in the L-shaped card slot.
[0036] In a more detailed implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, an L-shaped locking block composed of a horizontal plate and a vertical plate is provided on the outer wall of the material barrel body 1. The horizontal plate is flush with the bottom surface of the material barrel body 1, and the vertical plate is vertically connected to the horizontal plate to form the L-shaped locking block. A transition block 8 is provided on the conical protrusion 7, and the bottom surface of the transition block 8 matches the curvature of the side wall of the conical protrusion 7. An L-shaped groove matching the L-shaped locking block is opened on the top of the transition block 8. The bottom of the groove 9 is parallel to the bottom surface of the material barrel body 1, and the groove 9 passes through the transition block 8 horizontally upward. During connection, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the L-shaped card block can be rotated and inserted into the L-shaped card slot from one side to avoid interference from the conical protrusion 7.
[0037] In summary, the anti-accumulation feeding hopper provided by this utility model, by setting a conical protrusion 7 on the feed tray 6, allows the feed inside the hopper body 1 to be guided to the outlet through the inclined side wall of the conical protrusion 7, preventing feed from accumulating inside the hopper and not affecting the feeding of animals. In addition, the feed inlet 2 is equipped with a mesh baffle 3, which can effectively prevent feeding animals from accidentally entering the feed hopper body 1, solving the safety hazard; the setting of the locking block 5 and the locking groove 9 can quickly realize the disassembly and installation of the feed hopper body 1 and the feed tray 6, and the feeding hopper is easy to clean, avoiding feed residue.
[0038] The above examples are merely illustrative of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All designs that are the same as or similar to this utility model are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
