Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding trough technology, and in particular to an isolator feeding trough that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Isolator feeding troughs are devices used to feed animals under isolated conditions. Animal isolators are mainly divided into two types: one for animal husbandry and the other for animal experimental operations.

[0003] Chinese patent CN222357062U discloses a convenient-to-clean livestock feeding trough, comprising a base plate, a connecting plate fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, a column fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate, and a circular plate fixedly installed on the top of the column. A connecting shaft is movably installed inside the circular plate, and a feeding trough is fixedly installed between the two connecting shafts. This invention, by injecting water into the feeding trough and shaking it, ensures that residues are fully mixed with the water, making them more moist and loose. This allows for easier discharge of residues when the feeding trough is rotated and tilted, achieving thorough cleaning. It also significantly saves time and labor intensity for manual cleaning and reduces the frequency and difficulty of subsequent maintenance. Furthermore, a clean feeding trough helps animals eat feed better, improving feeding efficiency, reducing the occurrence and spread of diseases, and contributing to improved animal growth rate and health.

[0004] The device described above ensures that the residue is fully mixed with water by injecting water into the feeding trough and shaking it, making it more moist and loose. This makes it easier to remove the residue when the feeding trough is rotated and tilted. However, shaking alone may not be effective in removing stubborn residue that adheres to the inner wall. Incomplete cleaning can breed bacteria and increase the occurrence and spread of diseases. Utility Model Content

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention, through its water tank and pumping assembly, allows for the rotation of a rotating rod after feeding. This rotation, driven by a rotary drive assembly, causes the outer mounting block of the rod to rotate, moving the unused feeding trough to the top and the used trough to the bottom. Water is then pumped from the tank and sprayed through a nozzle to clean the used feeding trough. The impact of the water flow removes stubborn residue from the inner wall. A horizontal moving assembly moves a slider, which in turn moves the nozzle to clean different areas of the feeding trough. Compared to existing technologies, this device, with its rotary drive assembly, allows the used feeding trough to be rotated to the bottom and the nozzle to rinse different areas, effectively removing stubborn residue from the inner wall. After rinsing, the feeding trough can be allowed to air dry naturally, preventing the water remaining on the inner wall from breeding bacteria. This solves the problem in existing technologies where incomplete removal of residue leads to bacterial growth and increases the occurrence and spread of diseases. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A feeding trough for an isolator that is easy to clean includes a mounting frame 1, an opening 2 on the mounting frame 1, a rotating rod 3 rotatably mounted in the opening 2, a rotation drive assembly on one side of the mounting frame 1, the drive end of the rotation drive assembly passing through the mounting frame 1 and connected to the rotating rod 3, an mounting block 4 on the outer periphery of the rotating rod 3, and feeding troughs 5 on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting block 4.

[0025] The mounting bracket 1 is equipped with a mounting plate 6, which is located below the mounting block 4. The mounting plate 6 is provided with a horizontal moving component, and the driving end of the horizontal moving component is provided with a slider 7. The slider 7 is provided with a bracket 8, and the bracket 8 is provided with a connecting block 9. The connecting block 9 is vertically provided with a nozzle 10. A water tank 11 is installed above the mounting plate 6, and a water pumping component is provided on one side of the water tank 11. The output end of the water pumping component is connected to the nozzle 10.

[0026] In use, this device can rotate the rotating rod 3 via the rotary drive assembly, which in turn rotates the outer mounting block 4 of the rotating rod 3, causing the unused feeding trough 5 to rotate to the top and the used feeding trough 5 to rotate to the bottom. Water is then drawn from the water tank 11 by the water pump assembly and sprayed out through the nozzle 10 to clean the used feeding trough 5. The impact of the water flow can clean stubborn residues on the inner wall. The horizontal moving assembly drives the slider 7 to move, which in turn moves the nozzle 10 to clean different parts of the feeding trough 5. Compared with the prior art, this device, through the rotary drive assembly, can rotate the used feeding trough 5 to the bottom and use the nozzle 10 to rinse different parts of the feeding trough 5 to clean stubborn residues on the inner wall. After rinsing, the feeding trough 5 can be allowed to air dry naturally to prevent the water remaining on the inner wall from breeding bacteria. This solves the problem in the prior art where incomplete cleaning of residues can lead to bacterial growth and increase the occurrence and spread of diseases.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotary drive assembly includes a mounting box 12 and a first rotary motor 13. The mounting box 12 is located on one side of the mounting frame 1, and the first rotary motor 13 is located inside the mounting box 12. The drive end of the first rotary motor 13 passes through the mounting frame 1 and is connected to the rotating rod 3 via a coupling. After feeding, the first rotary motor 13 can drive the rotating rod 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 3 will drive the mounting block 4 to rotate, rotating the used feeding trough 5 to the bottom, cleaning it with the nozzle 10, and moving the clean feeding trough 5 to the top for the next feeding.

[0028] Furthermore, the horizontal moving assembly includes a second rotary motor 16, a threaded rod 17, and a slide 18. The slide 18 is mounted on the mounting plate 6, and the second rotary motor 16 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 6. The threaded rod 17 is rotatably mounted within the slide 18. The drive end of the second rotary motor 16 movably passes through the mounting plate 6 and is connected to the threaded rod 17 via a coupling. The threaded rod 17 movably passes through the slider 7 and is threadedly connected to the slider 7. The slider 7 is slidably mounted within the slide 18, and the slide 18 has several drain outlets 26 extending to the bottom of the mounting plate 6. The second rotary motor 16 can rotate the threaded rod 17, which can drive the slider 7 to move within the slide 18, thereby moving the nozzle 10 to different positions in the feeding trough 5 for easy cleaning of different positions in the feeding trough 5. The drain outlets 26 are connected to the sewer, allowing wastewater flushed from the feeding trough 5 to be discharged through the drain outlets 26 into the sewer.

[0029] Furthermore, the water pumping assembly includes a water pump 14 and a connecting pipe 15. The water pump 14 is located on one side of the water tank 11, and the connecting pipe 15 is located at the output end of the water pump 14. The other end of the connecting pipe 15 is connected to the nozzle 10. The water pump 14 can pump out the water in the water tank 11 and spray it out through the nozzle 10 to clean the feeding trough 5. The connecting pipe 15 is made of corrugated pipe and has sufficient length.

[0030] Furthermore, the connecting block 9 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 8 via a rotating shaft. A swing assembly is provided on one side of the bracket 8. The swing assembly includes a sector gear 19, a horizontal moving device 20, and a rack 21.

The horizontal moving device 20 is mounted on the slider 7. The rack 21 is mounted on the drive end of the horizontal moving device 20, and the rack 21 meshes with the sector gear 19. Through the horizontal moving device 20, the rack 21 can be driven to move left and right. The left and right movement of the rack 21 drives the sector gear 19 to swing left and right, causing the connecting block 9 to swing on the bracket 8. This allows the nozzle 10 to swing left and right, so as to clean the feeding trough 5 more thoroughly. The horizontal moving device 20 is an electric slide rail.

[0031] Furthermore, each of the two feeding troughs 5 is equipped with several isolation panels 22. The isolation panels 22 can isolate livestock while they are eating, preventing them from fighting and competing for food.

[0032] Furthermore, a baffle 23 is installed on one side above the mounting plate 6. Two mounting slots 24 are opened on the side of the baffle 23 near the water tank 11. A sterilization lamp 25 is installed in each of the two mounting slots 24. The sterilization lamp 25 is an ultraviolet sterilization lamp. The sterilization lamp 25 can be used to disinfect the feeding trough 5 after rinsing. The baffle 23 can separate the light of the sterilization lamp 25 from the animal being fed. When this device is installed in the isolator, the cleaning status of the bottom feeding trough 5 can be observed through the transparent window of the isolator.
