[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trough cleaning tools, and more specifically, to a trough cleaning tool for cattle farm workers. Background Technology
[0002] A cattle farm is a place where cattle are raised and managed in a centralized manner. The main functions of a cattle farm include providing food, water, shelter, and healthcare for the cattle to ensure their health and welfare. In order to keep the feed troughs clean and hygienic, the feed troughs are cleaned regularly.
[0003] Existing trough cleaning tools mainly rely on manual labor using shovels or brushes to remove residues from the feed troughs. However, residues remain inside the feed troughs, requiring manual cleaning. During this process, feeders need to frequently bend and stretch, which can easily lead to muscle strains or other occupational diseases. This makes it inconvenient to clean the residues inside the feed troughs, resulting in poor cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

The storage box is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and the exhaust fan is fixedly mounted on the top of the storage box. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the inner part of the mounting frame, and a rigid pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder. A second flexible hose is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rigid pipe, and one end of the second flexible hose is fixedly connected to the storage box. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rigid pipe, and a first flexible hose is fixedly connected to the top of the inner part of the fixing frame. A trough cleaning assembly is provided on the fixing frame. The trough cleaning assembly includes a stepper motor, a first rotating shaft, two second rotating shafts, two side plates, a feed hopper, and a brush plate. The stepper motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing frame, and the output shaft end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft.
[0006] Furthermore, the opposite ends of the two second rotating shafts are movably connected to the fixed frame via bearings, the opposite sides of the two side plates are fixedly connected to the feed hopper, the top of the feed hopper is fixedly connected to the first hose, and the bottom of the feed hopper is fixedly connected to the brush plate.
[0007] Furthermore, each of the two side plates is provided with two bolts, and the two second rotating shafts are fixed to the two side plates by four bolts respectively.
[0008] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the feed hopper and the brush plate are disassembled and cleaned by removing the fixing between the feed hopper and the two second rotating shafts by four bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, a first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating shaft, a second bevel gear meshes with the bottom of the first bevel gear, and the second bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on one of the second rotating shafts.
[0010] It can be seen that the above technical solution is designed to facilitate the rotation of the second rotating shaft.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model extends the feed hopper into the feed trough by extending the telescopic rod on the hydraulic cylinder. The exhaust fan generates suction, and the residue in the feed trough enters the first hose through the feed hopper, and then enters the storage box through the rigid pipe and the second hose. The stepper motor drives the feed hopper to rotate. The angle of the feed hopper can be adjusted as needed, so that residues in different positions in the feed trough can be sucked up. It is simple to operate, convenient to clean the residues inside the feed trough, and has good performance.
[0016] 2. This utility model moves the feed hopper downwards, which in turn moves the two side plates downwards, thereby moving the brush plate downwards. The brush plate cleans the residue adhering to the feed trough. Pushing the handle causes the four casters to slide on the ground, which in turn moves the mounting frame and fixing frame horizontally, thereby moving the feed hopper and brush plate inside the feed trough. This facilitates the cleaning of residue inside the feed trough. The structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

The feed storage box 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1, and the exhaust fan 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the feed storage box 2. A hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner part of the mounting frame 1, and a rigid pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 11. A second flexible hose 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rigid pipe 9, and one end of the second flexible hose 10 is fixedly connected to the feed storage box 2. A fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rigid pipe 9, and a first flexible hose 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner part of the fixing frame 4. A trough cleaning assembly 5 is provided on the fixing frame 4 for trough cleaning. Component 5 includes a stepper motor 501, a first rotating shaft 502, two second rotating shafts 503, two side plates 504, a feed hopper 505, and a brush plate 506. The stepper motor 501 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed frame 4, and the output shaft end of the stepper motor 501 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 502. The opposite ends of the two second rotating shafts 503 are movably connected to the fixed frame 4 through bearings. The opposite sides of the two side plates 504 are fixedly connected to the feed hopper 505. The top of the feed hopper 505 is fixedly connected to the first flexible hose 8, and the bottom of the feed hopper 505 is fixedly connected to the brush plate 506.
[0026] Furthermore, each of the two side plates 504 is provided with two bolts 507, and the two second rotating shafts 503 are fixed to the two side plates 504 by four bolts 507 respectively. The bottom end of the first rotating shaft 502 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 508, and the bottom of the first bevel gear 508 is meshed with a second bevel gear 509, and the second bevel gear 509 is fixedly sleeved on one of the second rotating shafts 503.
[0027] Furthermore, a push handle 7 is fixedly connected to the other side of the mounting frame 1. The push handle 7 is used to facilitate the horizontal movement of the mounting frame 1. Four casters 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 1. The four casters 6 are used to facilitate the horizontal movement of the mounting frame 1. The bottom of the storage box 2 is movably connected to the box cover 12 via a snap fastener. The box cover 12 is used to facilitate the cleaning of residues inside the storage box 2.
[0028] The downward movement of the feed hopper 505 causes the two side plates 504 to move downward, which in turn causes the brush plate 506 to move downward. The brush plate 506 cleans the residue adhering to the feed trough. Pushing the push handle 7 causes the four casters 6 to slide on the ground, thereby causing the mounting frame 1 and the fixing frame 4 to move horizontally.

[0029] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0030] In use, the hydraulic cylinder 11 is activated, and the telescopic rod on the hydraulic cylinder 11 extends, causing the rigid pipe 9 to move downwards. This, in turn, causes the fixing frame 4 and the cleaning assembly 5 to move downwards, extending the feed hopper 505 into the feed trough. The exhaust fan 3 is activated, generating suction. Residue in the feed trough enters the first flexible hose 8 through the feed hopper 505, and then enters the storage tank 2 through the rigid pipe 9 and the second flexible hose 10. The stepper motor 501 is activated, driving the first rotating shaft 502 and the first bevel gear 508 to rotate. This drives the second bevel gear 509 and the two second rotating shafts 503 to rotate, which in turn drives the feed hopper 505 to rotate. The angle of the feed hopper 505 can be adjusted as needed to suck up residues from different locations in the feed trough. The operation is simple and convenient for cleaning residues inside the feed trough. The effect is good. Finally, the latch is opened to release the lock between the cover 12 and the storage box 2, and the residues inside the storage box 2 are cleaned. It is worth noting that the exhaust fan 3 is equipped with a filter screen to prevent residues from entering the exhaust fan 3.
