Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a novel animal feed trough. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry is the process of using the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy through artificial breeding and raising, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. It is a very important link in the material exchange between humans and nature. Animal husbandry is an important part of agriculture. During the breeding process, different types of livestock need to be fed with special feed according to their different habits. Reasonable feeding can ensure the healthy growth of livestock. In order to improve the efficiency of feeding, it is necessary to use feeding troughs to help livestock eat in a unified manner.
[0003] Traditionally, even if the location of the feed is controlled during the pouring process into the trough, it is impossible to ensure that the feed is evenly distributed in the trough. Uneven distribution of feed in the trough means that livestock cannot eat at the same time and are prone to fighting over the feed.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of livestock feeder to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of livestock feeder that can deliver feed more evenly, distribute feed uniformly, and is flexible and convenient to use.

The novel livestock feeder includes: a feeding tray 1, with two rectangular grooves 2 on the tray 1, and side grooves 3 on the inner wall of each of the two rectangular grooves 2. An annular block 4 is positioned above the feeding tray 1, and an annular groove 5 is formed at the bottom of the annular block 4. The top of the feeding tray 1 is slidably installed in the annular groove 5. Two circular rods 6 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular groove 5, and are slidably installed in the two rectangular grooves 2 respectively. The two circular rods 6 are respectively adapted to the two side grooves 3. Multiple partition rods 7 are fixedly installed on the top of the annular block 4. The multiple partition rods 7 are arranged in an equidistant annular array to prevent animals from moving around and fighting for food. The same mounting can 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the multiple partition rods 7. The bottom of the mounting can 8 is an arc-shaped slope, and the top of the mounting can 8 is an opening. The top of the mounting can 8 is fixedly installed... The installation tank 8 is equipped with a feed hopper 9 and an installation hole 10 at the bottom. An annular block 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation tank 8. A connecting pipe 12 is rotatably installed on the annular block 11. The connecting pipe 12 is L-shaped and its top end is in rotatable contact with the bottom of the installation tank 8. A support frame 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation tank 8. An electric motor 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the support frame 13. A bevel gear 15 is fixedly installed on both the output shaft of the electric motor 14 and the connecting pipe 12. The two bevel gears 15 mesh with each other. A horizontal rod 16 is fixedly installed between the inner walls of the two sides of the connecting pipe 12. A longitudinal plate 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal rod 16. The top end of the longitudinal plate 17 extends into the installation tank 8 through the installation hole 10. Multiple stirring blades 18 are fixedly installed on the longitudinal plate 17.
[0023] To facilitate the adjustment of the position of the installation tank 8 and the feeding of food into the feed hopper 9, in this method, a connecting rod 20 is fixedly installed between the inner walls of both sides of the feed hopper 9. A transition block 21 is rotatably sleeved on the connecting rod 20, and a U-shaped rod 22 is rotatably installed on the transition block 21. A push plate 23 is fixedly installed on the U-shaped rod 22. Six casters 19 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation tank 8. Handles are fixedly installed on both sides of the installation tank 8. The two handles and the six casters 19 work together to facilitate the movement of the installation tank 8. A pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the push plate 23. The pad contacts the top of the feed hopper 9. A handle is fixedly installed at one end of the push plate 23. The pad can support the push plate 23, making it convenient to move the installation tank 8 through the push plate 23.
[0024] To increase the stability of the top of the longitudinal plate 17, in this method, a transverse round rod is fixedly installed at the top of the longitudinal plate 17, and an annular round rod is fixedly installed on the transverse round rod, with the annular round rod in contact with the inner wall of the mounting tank 8.
[0025] To ensure the stability of the connecting pipe 12, in this method, a bearing is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular block 11, and the inner wall of the bearing is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 12.
[0026] The working principle of the novel livestock feeder provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0027] In the initial state, the two circular rods 6 are located in the two side grooves 3 respectively. The feeding tray 1 is fixedly connected to the installation tank 8 through the annular block 4 and multiple partition rods 7. The push plate 23 is placed flat on the top of the feeding hopper 9. When the feeding time is reached, the push plate 23 first drives the feeding hopper 9 to close the distance to the feeding hopper 9. Then the electric motor 14 is started. The output shaft of the electric motor 14 will drive the bevel gear 15 fixedly connected to it. With the cooperation of the two bevel gears 15, the connecting pipe 12 will rotate together with the output shaft of the electric motor 14. At the same time, the transverse rod 16 drives the longitudinal plate 17 and multiple stirring blades 18 to rotate together.
[0028] The prepared feed is placed into the feed hopper 9, and then the installation tank 8 is pushed to a suitable position by the push plate 23 to ensure that there is enough space around the feed tray 1 so that the livestock can eat from all sides of the feed tray 1. The feed will gradually flow into the connecting pipe 12 through the installation hole 10 and fall into the feed tray 1 through the bottom end of the connecting pipe 12. The feed will be evenly discharged through the rotating connecting pipe 12 and slowly scattered on the feed tray 1, so that the feed is evenly distributed on the feed tray 1 and avoids uneven distribution of the feed. The rotating longitudinal plate 17 and multiple stirring blades 18 can stir the feed to prevent the feed from solidifying or blocking the installation hole 10, and can play a certain role in clearing the block. Afterwards, the feed tray 1 needs to be removed from the installation tank 8. The feed tray 1 can be rotated according to the direction of the two side grooves 3 so that the two round rods 6 can be rotated out of the two side grooves 3 and moved into the two rectangular grooves 2. Then the feed tray 1 can be slid off the annular block 4.
[0029] Compared with related technologies, the novel livestock feeder provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] In this invention, the feeding tray 1 is fixed to the annular block 4 by the cooperation of two circular rods 6 and two side grooves 3. By rotating the position of the two circular rods 6, the connection between the annular block 4 and the feeding tray 1 can be released, thereby removing the feeding tray 1 from the annular block 4. Driven by the electric motor 14, the connecting pipe 12 and the longitudinal plate 17 rotate simultaneously. During the rotation of the connecting pipe 12, the feed is discharged to various parts of the feeding tray 1 to avoid uneven distribution of feed on the feeding tray 1, so that the livestock can eat the feed in various places. The longitudinal plate 17 drives multiple stirring blades 18 to rotate together, which not only clears the mounting hole 10, but also prevents the feed from condensing in the mounting tank 8.
