For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention proposes a floating object removal device for beef cattle feeding troughs, including a feeding trough 17. The device is characterized by a movable outer shell 6 located in the middle of the side of the feeding trough 17, a movable component inside the movable outer shell 6, a movable platform 20 on the movable end of the movable component, and a rotating component connected to the movable platform 20 via a movable frame 10. A floating object retrieval plate 16 is located on the rotating end of the rotating component. The floating object retrieval plate 16 is a plate with micro-mesh holes, used to capture floating objects on the water surface, reducing the adhesion of residues while ensuring that larger floating objects can be effectively collected.

[0033] Both sides of the water trough 17 are provided with storage components for collecting floating objects. The rear end face of the water trough 17 and the two sides of the movable housing 6 are symmetrically distributed with second mounting brackets 12, and the second mounting brackets 12 are provided with a knocking mechanism.

[0034] A sensing component is symmetrically arranged on the rear end face of the water tank 17 and on the rear side of the movable housing 6. A laser receiver 19 adapted to the sensing component is provided on the rear end face of the movable frame 10.

[0035] In this invention, during use, water is added to the water trough 17, allowing the cattle to drink. When it is necessary to clean floating debris from the water trough 17, the moving end of the moving component, located at its end, first rotates the component to make the floating debris retrieval plate 16 vertical. Then, the moving component is activated to move the floating debris retrieval plate 16. When the corresponding sensing component connects with the laser receiver 19, the moving component temporarily stops operating. At this time, the rotating component can rotate the floating debris retrieval plate 16 by a certain angle. Then, the moving component will move the floating debris retrieval plate 16 again. At this time, the discharge end of the tilted floating debris retrieval plate 16 will be located on the opening of the storage component. Then, the knocking is activated. The striking mechanism can strike the floating debris retrieval plate 16, causing it to vibrate and thus clearing the floating debris from the plate. This debris then enters the collection assembly through the inclined surface of the plate, allowing for collection. When it's necessary to clean the floating debris inside the water tank 17 again, the rotating assembly is activated to rotate the plate 16 in the opposite direction. The moving assembly, sensing assembly, and striking mechanism further loosen or dislodge the floating debris from the plate. Especially when the plate is tilted, gravity helps the debris slide down, effectively removing it. This process can be repeated.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the moving component includes a first motor 3, a connecting block 21, a moving block 22, and a threaded rod 23. The threaded rod 23 is rotatably connected between the left and right inner walls of the moving housing 6. The first motor 3 is located on the side wall of the moving housing 6. The output shaft of the first motor 3 passes through the side wall of the moving housing 6 and is coaxially connected to one end of the threaded rod 23. The moving block 22 is threaded onto the outer end face of the threaded rod 23. One end of the connecting block 21 is connected to the moving platform 20, and the other end of the connecting block 21 is connected to the moving block 22 through a slot at the upper end of the moving housing 6.

[0037] It should be noted that when the first motor 3 is started, the first motor 3 can drive the threaded rod 23 to rotate. When the threaded rod 23 rotates, it can drive the moving block 22 to move. When the moving block 22 moves, it can drive the rotating component to move through the connecting block 21, the moving platform 20 and the moving frame 10, thereby driving the floating object retrieval plate 16 to move accordingly.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a second motor 9, a second transmission rod 8, and a rotating plate 7. The second motor 9 is located on the side of the movable frame 10. The output shaft of the movable frame 10 passes through the movable frame 10 and is coaxially connected to the second transmission rod 8. The rotating plate 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outer end face of the second transmission rod 8. It also includes a silicone plate 18. The outer end face of the rotating plate 7 is connected to the floating object retrieval plate 16 through the silicone plate 18.

[0039] It should be noted that the second motor 9 drives the second transmission rod 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 7 to rotate. The rotating plate 7, in turn, drives the floating object retrieval plate 16 to rotate via the silicone plate 18. The silicone plate 18 acts as a buffer and protector. Due to its elasticity, the silicone plate 18 absorbs some of the impact force when the striking mechanism strikes the floating object retrieval plate 16, preventing damage. Furthermore, when the striking mechanism causes the floating object retrieval plate 16 to vibrate, it allows for greater deformation, improving the vibration effect. Additionally, the silicone plate 18 absorbs some vibration energy, reducing noise generation and minimizing interference with the surrounding environment.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the striking mechanism includes a third motor 11, striking wheels 1, and a first transmission rod 2. The third motor 11 is located on the side of the second mounting bracket 12, and the output shaft of the third motor 11 passes through the second mounting bracket 12 and is coaxially connected to one end of the first transmission rod 2. A plurality of striking wheels 1 are spaced apart on the outer end face of the first transmission rod 2.

[0041] It should be noted that when it is necessary to clean the floating objects on the floating object retrieval plate 16, the floating object retrieval plate 16 is first moved to the designated position and tilted by the moving component and the rotating component. At this time, multiple striking wheels 1 come into contact with the floating object retrieval plate 16. Then, the third motor 11 is started. The third motor 11 can drive the first transmission rod 2 connected to it to rotate, thereby driving the multiple striking wheels 1 connected to it to rotate, which can strike the floating object retrieval plate 16 and generate vibration. At this time, the floating objects on the floating object retrieval plate 16 can fall into the collection component along the tilted surface of the floating object retrieval plate 16.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the sensing component includes a laser emitter 4 and a first mounting bracket 5, the first mounting bracket 5 being disposed on the rear end face of the water tank 17, and the laser emitter 4 being disposed on the front end face of the first mounting bracket 5 and adapted to the laser receiver 19.

[0043] It should be noted that when the moving component drives the floating debris retrieval plate 16 to clean up floating debris on the water surface, the laser emitter 4 on the first mounting frame 5 will connect with the laser receiver 19 on the moving frame 10. At this time, the moving component will temporarily stop operating. Then, the rotating component can drive the floating debris retrieval plate 16 to rotate a certain angle. After that, the moving component will drive the floating debris retrieval plate 16 to move again. At this time, the discharge end of the inclined floating debris retrieval plate 16 will be located on the opening of the storage component. Then, the striking mechanism will be activated to strike the floating debris retrieval plate 16 and make it vibrate.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the storage component includes a protective frame 14 and a storage box 13, with both sides of the water trough 17 connected to the protective frame 14 respectively, and the storage box 13 positioned on the protective frame 14.

[0045] It should be noted that the outer frame 14 can be used to place the storage box 13, and the storage box 13 can be used to collect floating objects that fall from the floating object retrieval board 16.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, handles 15 are symmetrically distributed at the edge of the opening of the storage box 13.

[0047] It should be noted that the storage box 13 can be easily removed from the inside of the outer frame 14 via the handles 15 on both sides.

[0048] Preferably, the two sides of the water feeding trough 17 are arc-shaped; when the center of the arc on the side of the water feeding trough 17 is connected to the sensing component and the laser receiver 19, the moving component will temporarily stop operating. At this time, the rotating component can drive the floating object retrieval plate 16 to rotate along the arc edge of the side of the water feeding trough 17.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
