[0031] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 This utility model provides a feed trough for pig farms, including a feed trough body 1, and further comprising:

[0033] The feeding mechanism 2 is located inside one side of the feed trough body 1 and is used to feed pig feed.

[0034] The cleaning mechanism 3 is located on the other side inside the feed trough body 1 and is used to clean up any remaining feed.

[0035] To facilitate the feeding process, such as Figure 1-2 Hehe Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding roller 201 and a baffle plate 207. The feeding roller 201 is located inside one side of the feed trough body 1. A servo motor 202 is installed at one end of the feeding roller 201. The baffle plate 207 is located on one side of the feeding roller 201. Hydraulic cylinders 205 are installed at both ends of the top of the baffle plate 207. The servo motor 202 drives the feeding roller 201 to rotate, thereby allowing the feeding of feed in equal amounts. The operation of the hydraulic cylinders 205 allows the baffle plate 207 to block the opening of the feeding box 101, preventing feed from entering the feeding box 101 from the feed trough 106 due to livestock.

[0036] To facilitate the cleaning of residual feed inside the feed trough 106, such as Figure 1-2 and Figure 5As shown, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a rotating base plate 301, which is located at the bottom of one side of the feed trough body 1. Both sides of the top of one end of the rotating base plate 301 are provided with traction plates 303, and each of the top ends of the two traction plates 303 is provided with an electric cylinder 305. Under the traction action of the traction plates 303, the two electric cylinders 305 cause the rotating base plate 301 to rotate downward inside the feed trough 106, thereby making it easy to clean the feed residue inside the feed trough 106.

[0037] To ensure stable material feeding by the feeding mechanism 2, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the feed trough body 1 includes a feeding box 101. A feeding hopper 102 is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding box 101. A guide plate 103 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the inner side of the feeding box 101 near the opening. A protective cover 104 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the feeding box 101. Movable grooves 105 are opened on both ends of the inner wall of the top side of the inner side of the feeding box 101 near the opening. The inner wall of the feeding box 101 is rotatably connected to the feeding roller 201. A ratchet 203 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the end of the feeding roller 201 away from the servo motor 202. A pawl 204 that engages with the ratchet 203 is rotatably installed on the top of the inner wall of the protective cover 104. Feed can be added into the feeding roller 201 through the feeding hopper 102. The cooperation between the ratchet 203 and the pawl 204 can prevent the feeding roller 201 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby enabling the feeding roller 201 to stably feed the feed.

[0038] To ensure the stability of the barrier plate 207 during adjustment, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the two ends of the top side of the feeding box 101 are fixedly connected to two hydraulic cylinders 205 respectively. The piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 205 pass through the top of the inner wall of the two movable slots 105 respectively and are fixedly installed with sliders 206. The two sliders 206 are fixedly connected to the top two ends of the outer wall of the side of the baffle plate 207 respectively. When the hydraulic cylinders 205 work, the two sliders 206 move along the inner wall of the two movable slots 105 respectively, so that the baffle plate 207 remains stable during the height adjustment process, thereby enabling the baffle plate 207 to stably close the opening of the feeding box 101.

[0039] To ensure the stability of the rotating base plate 301 during tilt angle adjustment, such as Figure 2-3 and Figure 5As shown, a feed trough 106 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding box 101 near the opening. The bottom of the feed trough 106 is rotatably connected to the rotating base plate 301. The inner walls of both ends of the top of the feed trough 106 are provided with mounting grooves 107. The inner walls of one side of the two mounting grooves 107 are fixedly connected to two electric cylinders 305 respectively. The piston rods of the two electric cylinders 305 are fixedly installed with movable seats 304 that are movably connected to the inner walls of the adjacent mounting grooves 107. The two movable seats 304 are rotatably connected to the top of the two traction plates 303 respectively. The top ends of the rotating base plate 301 away from the feed trough 106 are fixedly installed with fixed seats 302. The two fixed seats 302 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the two traction plates 303 respectively. The mounting grooves 107 can limit the movement of the movable seats 304. Through the rotatable connection between the traction plates 303 and the fixed seats 302, the traction plates 303 can stably drive the rotating base plate 301 to rotate at the bottom of the feed trough 106, thereby facilitating the cleaning of residual feed.

[0040] In order to ensure a stable supply of feed, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the left vertical section of the internal structure of the feeding roller 201 is set as a fan-shaped structure, and the left vertical section of the guide plate 103 is set as a right-angled triangle structure. The multiple fan-shaped placement slots can conveniently store and feed the feed, and the inclined surface of the guide plate 103 can stably transport the feed inside the feeding roller 201 to the feed trough 106.

[0041] The specific implementation scenario is as follows: When feeding feed, the feed is conveyed to the placement trough at the top of the feeding roller 201 through the feed hopper 102. Then, the servo motor 202 operates to make the feeding roller 201 rotate towards the opening side of the feeding box 101. At the same time, the cooperation between the ratchet 203 and the pawl 204 can prevent the feeding roller 201 from rotating in the opposite direction. As the feeding roller 201 rotates, the feed inside is conveyed into the feed trough 106 under the guidance of the guide plate 103. After one feeding is completed, the two hydraulic cylinders 205 operate to make the two sliders 206 move downward along the inner wall of the two movable grooves 105, thereby causing the bottom of the baffle plate 207 to contact the guide plate 103. The contact between the feed trough and the opening of the feed box 101 can be sealed, preventing feed from entering the feed box 101 due to livestock. After the livestock are fed, the two electric cylinders 305 operate to move the two movable seats 304 along the inner walls of the two mounting slots 107. Under the traction of the two traction plates 303, the rotating base plate 301 can rotate downward at the bottom of the feed trough 106, allowing the residual feed in the feed trough 106 to be easily discharged, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the feed trough 106 and facilitating subsequent feed feeding. This embodiment specifically solves the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to feed equal amounts and that feed residue is easy to appear inside the feed trough.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
