[0002] With technological advancements and improved living standards, people's demand for meat is increasing, and beef is one of the main types of meat consumed daily. Nowadays, to ensure beef quality, cattle need to be raised scientifically, and feed troughs are one of the essential pieces of equipment in cattle farming.

[0003] Modern cattle farming typically takes place in barns, with feed troughs usually placed above ground. In most commercially available cattle feed troughs, leftover feed accumulates on the bottom during use. This residue, exposed to wind and rain, breeds bacteria and begins to smell, affecting the cattle's feed intake and health. Furthermore, if not cleaned promptly, it accumulates and becomes even more difficult to clean, creating a vicious cycle. Currently, most farmers use scrapers to remove the leftover feed from the bottom of the trough. However, due to the large size of the trough, this method is inefficient, ineffective, labor-intensive, and easily soils the farmer's clothes. Utility Model Content

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0018] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-2 A feed scraper for cattle sheds includes a trolley 1 and a wheel assembly 2 located below the trolley 1.

[0019] A motor housing 3 is fixedly mounted on the vehicle plate of the trolley 1. A motor 1 is installed inside the motor housing 3. A base 4 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the motor housing 3. The base 4 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 1. The motor 1 is a DC geared motor. The motor 1 has a built-in power-off locking mechanism to ensure that the base 4 will not rotate when the motor 1 is not operating. A support column 5 is fixedly connected above the base 4. A transverse support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 5. A telescopic cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the lower side of one end of the transverse support rod 6. A motor bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the telescopic cylinder 7. A second motor 9 is installed on the motor bracket 8. A central rod 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the second motor 9. A plurality of scrapers 11 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the central rod 10. A water spray pipe 12 is provided above the front of the central rod 10. A plurality of water passage holes are provided on the lower side of the water spray pipe 12 along its extension direction. The water spray pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the transverse support rod 6 through a connecting bracket 13.

[0020] A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the vehicle panel of the trolley 1, and a control device 15 is installed at the upper end of the connecting rod 14.

[0021] A push handle 16 is fixed above the end of the trolley 1 near the control device 15.

[0022] In use, the water spray pipe 12 is connected to the external water inlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe is equipped with a water valve. The trolley 1 is moved to one side of the material trough, and the center rod 10 is located above the material trough. The telescopic cylinder 7 drives the center rod 10 to descend, so that the end of the scraper 11 located at the bottom of the material trough contacts the bottom of the material trough. The water valve is opened and the motor 9 is started. When the trolley 1 moves forward, it can spray water and scrape the bottom of the material trough at the same time. After a single scraping is completed, the trolley 1 is moved to the other side of the material trough to scrape the material again, so that the accumulated material at the bottom of the material trough can be scraped clean. In use, the speed of the trolley 1, the speed of the motor 9, and the speed of the water spray can be controlled according to the situation to improve the scraping effect. Also, the trolley 1 can scrape the material trough several times on one side to ensure the scraping effect.

[0023] In this embodiment, the wheel device 2 is electrically or manually driven.

[0024] In this embodiment, the telescopic cylinder 7 is a hydraulic cylinder, which has stable and reliable operation.

[0025] In this embodiment, the number of scrapers 11 is not less than 4. When the motor 29 drives the scrapers 11 to rotate along the central rod 10, the scraping effect is better when multiple scrapers 11 scrape the material.

[0026] In this embodiment, the end of the scraper 11 is made of rubber, which is wear-resistant, not easily damaged, and has a good scraping effect.

[0027] In this embodiment, the distribution length of the water holes on the water spray pipe 12 is not less than the length of the scraper 11, ensuring that there is water in the area to be scraped in front of the scraper 11, which is beneficial for scraping off the accumulated material.

[0028] In this embodiment, the control device 15 is equipped with a touch-screen display panel, which is simple and convenient to operate.
