Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a feeding trough and a livestock cage for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, through artificial feeding and breeding, to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, and fur. Animal husbandry includes the raising of livestock (such as pigs, cattle, and sheep) and poultry (such as chickens, ducks, and geese). In the process of poultry farming, in order to facilitate unified feeding, water supply, and observation, some poultry are kept in livestock cages, and feeding troughs are installed on the cages to hold food for the poultry in the cages.

[0003] In livestock farming, the feeding troughs need to be cleaned regularly according to the type of food for poultry and the season. Generally speaking, the feeding troughs are cleaned once a day in summer and once every two or three days in winter. Before cleaning the poultry feeding troughs, they are first removed from the livestock cages, and then placed on a trolley to be transported to the cleaning area.

[0004] like Figure 1 The image shows a common poultry feeder. Its overall size is large and its structure is fixed, which means that the number of poultry feeders that a cart can hold at one time is relatively small. For large poultry farms with a large number of poultry feeders, a lot of poultry feeders need to be cleaned each time, and it takes a long time to transport all the poultry feeders. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding trough and a livestock cage for livestock breeding, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing poultry feeding troughs are large in overall size and have a fixed structure, resulting in a small number of poultry feeding troughs that can be accommodated by a cart at one time, and requiring a long time to transport all the poultry feeding troughs.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A feeding trough for livestock farming includes a support frame, a fixing plate, and a receiving trough. The fixing plate is detachably fixed to the support frame and has a through hole. The opening of the receiving trough faces upward, and the upper end of the receiving trough is located inside the through hole. The upper end of the receiving trough mates with the through hole, and the edge of the upper end of the receiving trough is fixedly connected to the hole wall of the through hole. The receiving trough can be completely contained within the through hole after being compressed vertically.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket includes a connecting plate and two uprights, the lower ends of which are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the connecting plate; the two ends of the fixing plate are respectively detachably fixedly connected to the two uprights.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the fixing plate are fixedly connected to sliding sleeves, and the two sliding sleeves are slidably fitted onto the two uprights respectively. The sleeve walls of the two sliding sleeves are formed with screw holes. It also includes two bolts, which are screwed into the two screw holes one to one, and the screw-in ends of the two bolts respectively abut against the two uprights.

Support rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixing plate, and the two support rods are respectively located in the two grooves, with the support rods cooperating with the grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-section of the groove is square.

[0012] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving tank, and a sealing plate is detachably connected to the receiving tank to block the discharge port.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower side of the receiving groove is fixedly provided with a hook and loop fastener, the hook and loop fastener being annular and surrounding the discharge port, and the upper side of the sealing plate is fixedly provided with a hook and loop fastener, the hook and loop fastener being adhered and fixed to the hook and loop fastener.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower side of the fixing plate is concave upward to form multiple grooves, and the upper side of the fixing plate is formed with a protrusion at the position corresponding to each of the grooves, the protrusions cooperating with the grooves.

[0015] Furthermore, the protrusion includes a cylinder and a frustum. The cylinder protrudes upward from the upper side of the fixing plate, the larger end of the frustum faces downward, the lower end of the frustum is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder, and the diameter of the lower end face of the frustum is the same as the diameter of the cylinder.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0028] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0030] In the above description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "one side," "the other side," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not 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. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] Furthermore, terms such as "identical" do not imply that components must be absolutely identical; minor differences are permissible. The term "perpendicular" simply means that the positional relationship between components is more perpendicular than "parallel," not that the structure must be perfectly perpendicular; a slight tilt is acceptable.

[0032] Please see Figure 2-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding trough for livestock farming, including a support 3, a fixing plate 21, and a receiving trough 22. The fixing plate 21 is detachably fixed to the support 3 and has a through hole. The opening of the receiving trough 22 faces upward, and the upper end of the receiving trough 22 is located inside the through hole, engaging with the through hole. The edge of the upper end of the receiving trough 22 is fixedly connected to the wall of the through hole, allowing the receiving trough 22 to be completely contained within the through hole after being vertically compressed. Specifically, the receiving trough 22 can be a hollow shell structure made of rubber material with an open top, thus allowing it to be completely contained within the through hole after being vertically compressed.

[0033] When using the feeding trough for livestock breeding described in this utility model, first weld and fix the bracket 3 to the livestock cage 1, which is a breeding cage for raising poultry. Then fix the fixing plate 21 to the bracket 3 so that the poultry can eat the food in the holding trough 22 inside the livestock cage 1.

[0034] When feeding poultry using the livestock feeding trough of this utility model, the food needed by the poultry is poured into the receiving trough 22 through the through hole on the fixing plate 21. The poultry can then eat the food in the receiving trough 22 through the through hole on the fixing plate 21.

[0035] When cleaning the livestock feed troughs described in this invention, the process involves removing multiple fixing plates 21 from multiple livestock cages 1, and then placing the fixing plates 21 on a trolley. Since the receiving trough 22 can be completely accommodated within the through hole after being vertically compressed, the receiving trough 22 can be completely accommodated within the through hole after being vertically compressed when multiple fixing plates 21 are placed on the trolley. This allows the receiving trough 22 to be stacked sequentially from bottom to top on the trolley. This allows the trolley to accommodate a larger number of receiving troughs 22 at a time, enabling faster transportation of the receiving troughs 22 within the poultry farm and improving the efficiency of feed trough cleaning.

[0036] In this embodiment: the support 3 includes a connecting plate 32 and uprights 31. Two uprights 31 are provided, and their lower ends are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting plate 32. The two ends of the fixing plate 21 are detachably fixedly connected to the two uprights 31. Specifically, the connecting plate 32 is welded and fixed to the livestock cage 1. With this structure, the fixing plate 21 can be detachably fixedly connected to the support 3.

[0037] In this embodiment: a support block 223 is fixedly connected to the upright 31. The upper side of the support block 223 is recessed and formed with a groove. Both ends of the fixing plate 21 are fixedly connected to support rods 23. The two support rods 23 are respectively located in the two grooves, and the support rods 23 cooperate with the grooves.

[0038] Initially, the two support rods 23 are located in the two grooves respectively, and are supported and fixed in the grooves one-to-one by the gravity of the fixing plate 21 and the receiving groove 22. When it is necessary to remove the fixing plate 21 from the upright 31, the fixing plate 21 is moved upward, causing the fixing plate 21, the receiving groove 22, and the two support rods 23 to move upward, so that the two support rods 23 are disengaged from their respective grooves. At this time, the fixing plate 21 can be removed from the upright 31. With this structure, both ends of the fixing plate 21 are detachably fixed to the two uprights 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, the groove has a square cross-section. Since the support rod 23 cooperates with the groove, that is, the cross-section of the support rod 23 is also square, when the support rod 23 is located in the groove, the support rod 23 cannot rotate in the groove, so that the fixing plate 21 cannot rotate on the two uprights 31, and the fixing plate 21 can be stably supported and fixed on the two uprights 31.

[0040] In this embodiment: a discharge port is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 22, and a sealing piece 222 is detachably connected to the receiving groove 22 to block the discharge port.

[0041] Before removing the fixing plate 21 from the bracket 3, if there is a lot of food left in the container 22, the sealing plate 222 can be removed from the container 22. Then, place the bucket or basin under the discharge port and use a brush to sweep the remaining food in the container 22 to the discharge port. The food swept to the discharge port can fall into the bucket or basin under the discharge port, making it easy to collect the remaining food in the container 22 into the basin or bucket. The collected food can be reused after being steamed and sterilized, which can reduce food waste.

[0042] In this embodiment: the lower side of the receiving groove 22 is provided with a hook and loop fastener 221, which is annular and is arranged around the discharge port. The upper side of the sealing piece 222 is provided with a hook and loop fastener hook surface 2221, which is attached and fixed to the hook and loop fastener hook surface 2221.

[0043] In the initial state, the hook-and-loop fastener 2221 on the upper side of the sealing piece 222 is attached and fixed to the hook-and-loop fastener rough surface 221, thus sealing the discharge port. At this time, the sealing piece 222 can block the discharge port.

[0044] When it is necessary to remove the sealing piece 222 from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 22, pull the sealing piece 222, and the sealing piece 222 will cause the hook and loop fastener 2221 to detach from the hook and loop fastener 221. With this structure, the sealing piece 222 can be detachably connected to the side of the receiving groove 22.

[0045] In this embodiment: the lower side of the fixing plate 21 is concave upward to form a plurality of grooves, and the upper side of the fixing plate 21 is formed with a protrusion at the position corresponding to each of the grooves, and the protrusions cooperate with the grooves.

[0046] When multiple fixing plates 21 are stacked from bottom to top, the multiple protrusions on the lower fixing plate 21 of each adjacent pair of fixing plates 21 are located in the multiple grooves on the upper fixing plate 21 in a one-to-one correspondence. This makes it less likely for each adjacent pair of fixing plates 21 to slide relative to each other, and makes the stacking of multiple fixing plates 21 more stable.

[0047] In this embodiment: the protrusion includes a cylinder 211 and a frustum 212. The cylinder 211 protrudes upward from the upper side of the fixing plate 21. The large end of the frustum 212 faces downward. The lower end of the frustum 212 is directly opposite and fixed to the upper end of the cylinder 211. The diameter of the lower end face of the frustum 212 is the same as the diameter of the cylinder 211.

[0048] During the process of stacking one of the fixing plates 21 on another fixing plate 21, the first fixing plate 21 moves downward relative to the other fixing plate 21, the upper end of the frustum 212 enters the corresponding groove first, and then the cylinder 211 enters the groove.

[0049] The diameter of the upper end of the frustum 212 is smaller than the diameter of the cylinder 211, allowing the upper end of the frustum 212 to be easily inserted into the corresponding groove. As the upper end of the frustum 212 is inserted into the corresponding groove, and one of the fixing plates 21 continues to move downwards relative to the other fixing plate 21, the conical surface on the frustum 212 guides the fixing plate 21, causing it to move horizontally. This ensures the groove is fully aligned with the corresponding cylinder 211, allowing the cylinder 211 to be easily inserted into the corresponding groove as well. This structure makes it easier for the protrusion to enter the corresponding groove.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the connection method between the fixing plate 21 and the connecting rod is different, while the rest is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0052] Please see Figure 5-6 Specifically, both ends of the fixing plate 21 are fixedly connected with sliding sleeves 311, and the two sliding sleeves 311 are slidably fitted onto the two uprights 31 respectively. The sleeve walls of the two sliding sleeves 311 are formed with screw holes. It also includes two bolts 312, which are screwed into the two screw holes one to one, and the screw-in ends of the two bolts 312 respectively abut against the two uprights 31.

[0053] In the initial state, the two sliding sleeves 311 are slidably engaged with the uprights 31, and the two bolts 312 are screwed into the two bolt holes one-to-one, with the screw-in ends of the two bolts 312 respectively abutting against the two uprights 31. At this time, the sliding sleeves 311 can be fixedly connected to the uprights 31, that is, the fixing plate 21 can be fixedly connected to the uprights 31.

[0054] When it is necessary to remove the fixing plate 21 from the upright 31, rotate the two bolts 312 respectively so that the screw-in ends of the two bolts 312 are disengaged from the upright 31. At this time, the sliding sleeve 311 can slide off the upright 31, that is, the fixing plate 21 can be removed from the upright 31.

[0055] With this structure, both ends of the fixing plate 21 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the two uprights 31 respectively.

[0056] Furthermore, by rotating the two bolts 312, the screw-in ends of both bolts 312 are disengaged from the uprights 31, allowing the two sliding sleeves 311 to slide upwards or downwards on the uprights 31. The sliding sleeves 311 can drive the fixing plate 21 to slide upwards or downwards, thus adjusting the height of the fixing plate 21. Then, by rotating the two bolts 312 within the two screw holes, the screw-in ends of the two bolts 312 abut against and tighten against the uprights 31, fixing the height of the two sliding sleeves 311, and consequently, fixing the height of the fixing plate 21. This allows for adjustment of the height of the fixing plate 21 and the receiving groove 22, enabling them to be adjusted to a suitable height to facilitate poultry consumption of the food in the receiving groove 22.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
