Detailed Implementation

[0019] Example 1

[0020] likeFigures 1 to 3 As shown, a feed trough for easy cleaning includes a feed trough body 1. A slot 2 is formed through the top of the feed trough body 1 along its height. A bottom plate 3 is provided at the bottom of the feed trough body 1, and the bottom plate 3 is detachably installed on the feed trough body 1. The size of the bottom plate 3 covers the entire slot 2. Support legs 4 are installed on all four side walls of the feed trough body 1, supporting the feed trough body 1 and providing space for disassembly between the bottom and bottom surface of the feed trough body 1, facilitating the removal of the bottom plate 3. Because the feed trough body 1 is relatively deep, cleaning the inner bottom wall of the feed trough body 1 is inconvenient. After the trough 1 is set as a split type, the bottom of the feed trough 1 can be cleaned or replaced by removing the bottom plate 3. At the same time, after removing the bottom plate 3, it is possible to reach into the trough opening 2 from the top and bottom of the feed trough 1 to facilitate cleaning of the bottom of the inner wall of the feed trough 1. This helps cleaning personnel to clean all corners of the feed trough, especially the bottom which was previously difficult to reach, effectively saving cleaning time and labor costs. The bottom of the support leg 4 is fixed with a pad 15 to increase the support area and provide better support for the feed trough 1.

[0021] Example 2

[0022] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bottom of the feed trough 1 is equipped with connectors on all four sides of the trough opening 2. The connectors include a fixed post 5 and a rotating body 6. One end of the fixed post 5 is fixedly connected to the feed trough 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating body 6. The rotating body 6 is cuboid in shape. The bottom plate 3 has a connecting groove 7 corresponding to the position of the connector. The rotating body 6 can pass through the connecting groove 7. The length of the rotating body 6 is greater than the width of the connecting groove 7. The rotating body 6 passes through the connecting groove 7 and abuts against the bottom of the bottom plate 3. Rotating the rotating body 6 makes it parallel to the connecting groove 7, so that the rotating body 6 can pass smoothly through or out of the connecting groove 7, thus completing the installation or removal of the bottom plate 3. After the rotating body 6 passes through the connecting groove 7, rotating the rotating body 6 makes it perpendicular to the connecting groove 7, that is, the length of the rotating body 6 corresponds to the width of the connecting groove 7, so that the rotating body 6 cannot pass through the connecting groove 7, thus completing the installation of the bottom plate 3. The operation is simple and quick.

[0023] Furthermore, a sealing ring 8 is fixed around the groove 2 on the top surface of the bottom plate 3, and a sealing groove 9 is opened around the groove 2 at the bottom of the feed trough 1. The sealing ring 8 is interference-fitted into the sealing groove 9 to form a good sealing structure, effectively preventing liquid in the feed trough 1 from leaking out through the gap between the bottom plate 3 and the feed trough 1.

[0024] Example 3

[0025] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 1As shown, the support leg 4 is slidably installed on the feed trough 1. The installation height of the support leg 4 is adjustable. A T-shaped slider 10 is fixed to the end face of the support leg 4 near the feed trough 1. A T-shaped groove 11 is opened on the side wall of the feed trough 1. The T-shaped groove 11 passes through the bottom of the feed trough 1. The T-shaped slider 10 is slidably adapted to the T-shaped groove 11. By sliding the support leg 4, the T-shaped slider 10 can slide in the T-shaped groove 11 to adjust the height of the support leg 4. On the one hand, it can adjust the distance between the bottom of the feed trough 1 and the bottom surface, so that the bottom plate 3 can be removed easily. On the other hand, it can flexibly adjust the height of the feed trough 1 according to different breeding scenarios and the feeding needs of animals at different growth stages.

[0026] Furthermore, the side wall of the support leg 4 is provided with multiple through holes 12 along its own height direction, and the side wall of the feed trough 1 is provided with threaded holes 13. The tail of the screw 14 passes through a through hole 12 and is threaded into the threaded hole 13. The screw 14 passes through different through holes 12 and is threaded into the threaded holes 13, so that the installation height of the feed trough 1 can be adjusted and the support leg 4 can be stably connected to the feed trough 1.
