Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, specifically to a feeding trough adjustment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for pork products is increasing, and the pig farming industry is developing rapidly. The number of livestock in pig farms is increasing. If the feed is not properly provided, it will not only fail to meet the growth needs of large pigs, but also affect the quality of pork. For pig pens that are set up in a relatively isolated manner or large pig pens, double-sided feeding troughs can be set up between the two pens to supply food for the pigs in both pens.

[0003] Currently, double-sided feed troughs typically use a linkage-type feed trough adjustment mechanism. The size of the feed drop can only be adjusted manually by staff entering the pigpen and adjusting the feed outlet size inside the double-sided feed trough. This inability to ensure biosecurity when staff enters and exits the pigpen affects the livestock's feeding and fails to meet their growth needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a feed trough adjustment mechanism is proposed, which solves the problem in the aforementioned background technology that adjusting the feed size can only be done manually by staff entering the pigpen and adjusting the feed opening size in the double-sided feed trough, making it impossible to ensure biosafety when staff enter and exit.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes the following technologies:

[0006] A feeding trough adjustment mechanism includes an external movable component and a linkage component. The external movable component is movably connected to the feeding trough and extends outside the feeding trough. The linkage component is installed inside the feeding trough and connected to the external movable component. The linkage component is also connected to an internal movable component for adjusting the size of the feed inlet. Driving the external movable component to move, and then driving the internal movable component to move through the linkage component, achieves the adjustment of the feed inlet of the feeding trough.

[0007] Furthermore, the linkage component is rotatably connected to the feeding trough, and the external movable component moves relative to the feeding trough in the horizontal direction and drives the linkage component to rotate, thereby pulling the internal movable component to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so as to adjust the size of the feeding port.

[0008] Furthermore, the linkage component includes an adjustment plate that is rotatably connected to the feeding trough. The upper and lower ends of the adjustment plate are movably connected to an external movable component and an internal movable component, respectively. When the external movable component drives the adjustment plate to rotate, the adjustment plate pulls the internal movable component to rise and fall.

[0009] Furthermore, the external movable component includes a movable rod arranged in the horizontal direction, and the adjustment disk has a movable groove. A driving column that is slidably connected to the movable rod is slidably connected in the movable groove. When the driving column moves with the movable rod, it slides in the movable groove and drives the adjustment disk to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the internal movable components include a lifting rod and a horizontal plate. The horizontal plate is located at the bottom of the feeding trough and is slidably connected to the feeding port. The two ends of the lifting rod are respectively rotatably connected to an adjustment plate and the horizontal plate. The adjustment plate rotates to pull the lifting rod and the horizontal plate to move vertically and adjust the size of the feeding port.

[0011] Furthermore, the linkage component also includes a guide post, which is fixedly installed on the feeding trough. The adjustment plate has a guide groove, and the guide post is slidably connected in the guide groove to guide and limit the rotational movement of the adjustment plate.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two adjustment discs, which are respectively connected to both ends of the horizontal plate by lifting rods. The external movable component drives the two adjustment discs to move synchronously to lift the horizontal plate from both ends to move it vertically, thereby adjusting the feed port.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting seat for limiting the movement of the movable rod, the limiting seat being fixed on the feeding trough, and a driving component being provided at one end of the movable rod extending outside the feeding trough, the driving component driving the movable rod to reciprocate in the horizontal direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive rod, which is rotatably mounted on a support base. The drive rod is Z-shaped, and a thread is provided at one end of the drive rod near the movable rod. A threaded hole is provided in the movable rod, and the drive rod is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the comprehensive effects brought about by this utility model include:

[0016] In this application, an external movable component extending to the outside of the feeding trough and an internal movable component located inside the feeding trough are connected by a linkage component. The external movable component is driven to move outside the feeding trough, and then the internal movable component is driven to move inside the feeding trough through the linkage component. The size of the feed outlet at the bottom of the feeding trough is adjusted. When adjusting the feed outlet size, personnel are prevented from entering the pig pen, which can prevent pollution, ensure biosecurity, and guarantee the normal feeding and growth of livestock.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0023] In this document, terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” “right,” and “top” indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a feeding trough adjustment mechanism includes an external movable component and a linkage component. The external movable component is movably connected to the feeding trough 1 and extends to the outside of the feeding trough 1. The linkage component is installed inside the feeding trough 1 and connected to the external movable component. The linkage component is also connected to an internal movable component for adjusting the size of the feed outlet 2. The external movable component is driven to move, which in turn drives the internal movable component to move through the linkage component to achieve adjustment of the feed outlet 2 of the feeding trough 1.

[0025] With the above configuration, an external movable component extending to the outside of the feed trough 1 and an internal movable component located inside the feed trough are connected by a linkage component. The external movable component moves outside the feed trough 1, and then the internal movable component moves inside the feed trough 1 through the linkage component. This adjusts the size of the feed outlet 2 at the bottom of the feed trough 1. Adjusting the feed outlet size of the feed trough 1 prevents personnel from entering the pigpen, prevents contamination, ensures biosecurity, and guarantees the normal feeding and growth of livestock.

[0026] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, the linkage component is rotatably connected to the feeding trough 1, and the external movable component moves relative to the feeding trough 1 in the horizontal direction and drives the linkage component to rotate, thereby pulling the internal movable component to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so as to realize the adjustment of the size of the feeding port 2.

[0027] Specifically, by moving the external movable component horizontally, in conjunction with the linkage component that can rotate within the feed trough 1, the linkage component is turned and the internal movable component is pulled to change its height, thereby controlling the size of the feed inlet 2. By adopting the above structure, the horizontal movement is changed to vertical movement, reducing the overall size of the adjustment mechanism in the height direction, which matches the actual environment inside the pig pen. Furthermore, the horizontal movement of the external movable component makes it easier for staff to operate from the outside, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0028] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, the linkage component includes an adjustment plate 3 that is rotatably connected to the feeding trough 1. The upper and lower ends of the adjustment plate 3 are movably connected to an external moving component and an internal moving component, respectively. When the external moving component drives the adjustment plate 3 to rotate, the adjustment plate 3 pulls the internal moving component to rise and fall.

[0029] Specifically, the adjusting plate 3 is rotatably connected to the feeding trough 1 via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is installed on the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 and is located on the left side of the adjusting plate 3. With the above configuration, the external movable component drives the adjusting plate 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft from the top, thereby pulling the internal movable component connected to the bottom of the adjusting plate 3 to adjust the size of the feeding port 2 and adjust the feeding.

[0030] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, the external movable component includes a movable rod 4 arranged in the horizontal direction, and a movable groove 5 is provided on the adjustment plate 3. A driving column 6 that is slidably connected to the movable rod 4 is slidably connected in the movable groove 5. When the driving column 6 moves with the movable rod 4, it slides in the movable groove 5 and drives the adjustment plate 3 to rotate.

[0031] With the above settings, when the movable rod 4 moves, it drives the column 6 to slide in the movable groove 5. At the same time, the column 6 abuts against the inner wall of the upper surface of the movable groove 5 to push the adjusting plate 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft. Then, the adjusting plate 3 pulls the internal movable component connected to its bottom to raise or lower, converting the horizontal movement into vertical lifting and lowering, thereby realizing the adjustment of the size of the feed port 2.

[0032] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, the internal movable components include a lifting rod 7 and a horizontal plate 8. The horizontal plate 8 is located at the bottom of the feeding trough 1 and is slidably connected to the feeding port 2. The two ends of the lifting rod 7 are respectively rotatably connected to the adjustment plate 3 and the horizontal plate 8. The adjustment plate 3 rotates to pull the lifting rod 7 and the horizontal plate 8 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the size of the feeding port 2.

[0033] Specifically, the length of the horizontal plate 8 matches that of the feeding port 2, and it is located on the side of the front and rear side plates of the feeding trough 1 closer to the feeding side. The horizontal plate 8 moves up and down to change the distance between itself and the bottom plate of the feeding trough 1, thereby adjusting the height of the feeding port 2 and adjusting the amount of material falling. A lifting rod 7 is set to connect the adjusting plate 3 and the horizontal plate 8. When the adjusting plate 3 rotates, the lifting rod 7 rotates relative to the adjusting plate 3, and at the same time drives the lifting rod 7 to move up and down. The lifting rod 7 drives the bottom horizontal plate 8 to move.

[0034] Preferably, the horizontal plate 8 is inclined, and guide rails are provided on both sides of the horizontal plate 8. The guide rails are fixed to the left and right side plates of the feeding trough 1. The size of the feeding port 2 can be adjusted by sliding the horizontal plate 8 along the guide rails. At the same time, the inclined horizontal plate 8 facilitates the discharge of the stored material in the feeding trough 1 from the feeding port 2.

[0035] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, the linkage component further includes a guide post 9, which is fixedly installed on the feeding trough 1. The adjustment plate 3 is provided with a guide groove 10, and the guide post 9 is slidably connected in the guide groove 10 to guide and limit the rotational movement of the adjustment plate 3.

[0036] The guide post 9 is set to cooperate with the guide groove 10. The guide groove 10 is arc-shaped, and its trajectory center is located on the rotating shaft. The guide groove 10 guides the rotation of the adjusting plate 3 while limiting the rotation angle of the adjusting plate 3, thereby limiting the height range of the lifting rod 7. It matches the width of the horizontal plate 8 and the size of the discharge port 2 to prevent the horizontal plate 8 from separating from the discharge port.

[0037] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, there are two adjustment discs 3. The two adjustment discs 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the horizontal plate 9 by lifting rods 7. The external moving component drives the two adjustment discs 3 to move synchronously to lift the horizontal plate 8 from both ends to move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the feeding port 2.

[0038] Specifically, an adjustment disc 3 is set on both sides of the horizontal plate 8 in a feeding trough 1. The two adjustment discs 3 are connected to the same movable rod 4 through the movable groove 5 and the driving column 6 respectively. The horizontal movement of the movable rod 4 drives the two adjustment discs 3 to rotate synchronously.

[0039] Preferably, when multiple feeding troughs 1 are arranged adjacent to each other along a straight line, a movable rod 4 can be used to pass through multiple feeding troughs 1 in sequence and connect to the adjustment plate 3 in each feeding trough 1, so as to adjust the size of the feeding port 2 of multiple feeding troughs 1 at the same time.

[0040] In the double-sided feeding trough, feeding ports 2 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the feeding trough on both sides. Therefore, adjustment plates 3 are respectively set on the inner walls of the front and rear side plates of the double-sided feeding trough. At this time, two movable rods 4 are slidably connected on the feeding trough. By driving the two movable rods 4 to move simultaneously or separately from the outside, the size of the feeding port 2 can be adjusted according to different needs.

[0041] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, a limiting seat 11 for limiting the movable rod 4 is also included. The limiting seat 11 is fixed on the feeding trough 1. A driving component is provided at one end of the movable rod 4 that extends to the outside of the feeding trough 1. The driving component drives the movable rod 4 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction.

[0042] The limiting seat 11 is located between the two adjusting plates 3, supporting the movable rod 4 from the middle of the feeding trough 1, ensuring that the movable rod 4 is horizontal, so that it can slide smoothly relative to the feeding trough 1 under the drive of the drive component, and then drive the horizontal plate 8 to move through the adjusting plate 3 to adjust the feeding port 2.

[0043] In the feeding trough adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, the driving component includes a driving rod 12, which is rotatably mounted on a support base. The driving rod 12 is Z-shaped, and a thread is provided at one end of the driving rod 12 near the movable rod 4. A threaded hole is provided in the movable rod 4, and the driving rod 12 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0044] The movement of the horizontal movable rod 4 is achieved by rotating the drive rod 12, which is threadedly connected to it. The threaded rotation allows for stepless adjustment, facilitating the reciprocating movement of the movable rod 4 and enabling flexible adjustment of the moving distance of the movable rod 4 to meet the requirements of different feed opening sizes 2.

[0045] Preferably, the movable rod 4 can be moved laterally by electric control to ensure the intelligent pigsty. For example, the rocker structure can be replaced by an electric push rod to achieve horizontal movement and realize automation.
