Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0019] This utility model discloses a feeding trough for easy cleaning of leftover feed. The feeding trough mainly includes a feeding trough box 1, a scraper 2, a push rod 3, and a hydraulic cylinder 4. The feeding trough box 1 includes a bottom plate 101, a left side plate 102, a right side plate 103, a front baffle 104, and a rear baffle 105. The left side plate 102 and the bottom plate 101 are detachably connected. An inclined anti-splash plate 5 is connected to the top of the rear baffle 105. The scraper 2, matching the internal contour of the feeding trough box 1, is embedded inside. A push rod 3 is connected to one side of the scraper 2. The push rod 3 passes through the right side plate 103 of the feeding trough 1 and extends out of the feeding trough 1. The end of the push rod 3 extending out of the feeding trough 1 is connected to a hydraulic cylinder 4. The feeding trough of this utility model has a scraper 2 that matches the internal contour of the feeding trough 1. The push rod 3 is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 4 to move the scraper 2, which can easily scrape off the remaining food in the feeding trough. The left side plate 102 is detachably connected to the bottom plate 101, which facilitates the comprehensive cleaning of the bottom of the feeding trough. Compared with traditional manual cleaning, this utility model greatly reduces the time and effort spent by workers to clean the feeding trough and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0020] The rear side wall of the feeding trough 1 is fitted with a feeding hopper 6, the top of the feeding hopper 6 is provided with a feeding pipe 7, and the inside of the feeding hopper 6 is provided with a receiving chamber 8, which is connected to the feeding hopper 6. This structure allows the feed to enter the receiving chamber 8 of the feeding hopper 6 through the feeding pipe 7, and then enter the feeding trough 1, providing a relatively independent feeding channel, which facilitates the control of the feeding amount and feeding speed, and also reduces the spillage of feed during the feeding process.

[0021] The rear baffle 105 has a feed inlet 13 on its surface, and the feed hopper 6 has a discharge outlet on one side that matches the feed inlet 13. The feed hopper 6 is equipped with an electric push rod 12, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 12 is connected to a sealing plate 11. The size of the sealing plate 11 is matched with the discharge outlet. The movement of the sealing plate 11 can be controlled by the electric push rod 12. When feeding is required, the electric push rod 12 pushes the sealing plate 11 to open the discharge outlet, and the feed enters the feed trough 1 from the feed hopper 6.

[0022] The rear sidewall of the rear baffle 105 is fixed with an insert block 9, and the feed hopper 6 is provided with a slot 10 on the side of the rear baffle 105 for inserting the insert block 9. The cooperation structure of the insert block 9 and the slot 10 makes the connection between the feed hopper 6 and the rear baffle 105 more stable, and also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the feed hopper 6.

[0023] The left side plate 102 has sliders 14 fixed on both sides of its sidewalls. The front baffle 104 and the rear baffle 105 have grooves on their opposite sides. The sliders 14 are adapted to the grooves. This structure makes the connection between the left side plate 102 and the front baffle 104 and the rear baffle 105 tighter and more stable, and also facilitates the disassembly and installation of the left side plate 102.

[0024] The scraper 2 has a wear-resistant layer on its edge, and the push rod 3 has a nozzle on one end near the scraper 2. The wear-resistant layer can effectively improve the wear resistance of the scraper 2 and extend its service life. When cleaning up residual material, the nozzle can spray cleaning liquid into the feed trough 1 to clean the inside of the feed trough 1, making the cleaning more thorough and ensuring the hygiene of the inside of the feed trough 1.

[0025] Working process: Feed is poured into the receiving chamber 8 of the feeding hopper 6 through the feeding pipe 7. The feeding hopper 6 is stably installed on the rear side wall of the feeding trough 1 by engaging with the slot 10 on the rear baffle 105 via the insert block 9. The electric push rod 12 is activated, and its telescopic end pushes the sealing plate 11, so that the feed outlet is connected to the feed inlet 13 on the rear baffle 105. The feed flows into the feeding trough 1 by gravity through the feed outlet and feed inlet 13. When the required feed amount is reached, the electric push rod 12 retracts, causing the sealing plate 11 to reseal the feed outlet, preventing feed from overflowing and avoiding feed from getting damp or contaminated. After feeding, the hydraulic cylinder 4 is activated, and the hydraulic cylinder 4 pushes the push rod 3, causing the scraper 2 to move along the contour of the feeding trough 1 inside the feeding trough 1, pushing the remaining feed in the feeding trough 1 to one side. Since the left side plate 102 is detachably connected to the bottom plate 101, it can be removed according to actual cleaning needs for a more thorough cleaning of the bottom of the food trough 1. During the process of the push rod 3 driving the scraper 2 to clean residual material, the nozzle near the scraper 2 on the push rod 3 sprays cleaning liquid into the food trough 1, assisting in cleaning the dirt adhering to the inside of the food trough 1. The wear-resistant layer on the edge of the scraper 2 not only ensures the cleaning effect but also extends the service life of the scraper 2. After cleaning, the left side plate 102 can be pulled out through the cooperation of the slider 14 and the chute for a complete cleaning of the food trough 1.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
