[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0029] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a feed trough cleaning device, which includes:

[0031] Water gun 1, which is equipped with an inlet pipe 11 and an outlet pipe 12;

[0032] A rotary jet pipe 2 is rotatably installed at the other end of the outlet pipe 12. The other end of the rotary jet pipe 2 has bristles 3, and a second locking pin 23 is fixed on the outer circumference of the rotary jet pipe 2.

[0033] Locking component 4 is installed on the water outlet pipe 12 and can be engaged with the second locking pin 23.

[0034] It should be noted that in this device, the water gun 1 serves as a water delivery device, which has an inlet pipe 11 and an outlet pipe 12. The inlet pipe 11 can be connected to a water storage device for cleaning. Then, clean water is introduced from the outlet pipe 12 into the rotary spray pipe 2 and finally sprayed out from the rotary spray pipe 2 to achieve the rinsing operation of the feed trough.

[0035] After the clean water enters the rotary jet pipe 2, the rotary jet pipe 2 can convert the impact force of the water flow into its own rotational kinetic energy. Therefore, during the water discharge process, the rotary jet pipe 2 can rotate. The rotary jet pipe 2 has bristles 3, which can drive the bristles 3 to rotate together during the rotation of the rotary jet pipe 2, thereby using the bristles 3 to scrub the inside of the feed trough.

[0036] After the scrubbing operation is completed, the rotating spray pipe 2 can be fixed with the locking part 4 to keep it in a stable state (it will not rotate during water supply). Then, the feed trough can be rinsed a second time to complete the cleaning of the feed trough. With the rotating spray pipe 2 fixed, the brush bristles 3 will not move, so the water on the brush bristles 3 will not be shaken off, which is more conducive to the second rinsing operation of the feed trough.

[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 The water outlet pipe 12 has an external thread 13, and a first locking pin 14 is welded and fixed near the external thread 13. The rotary jet pipe 2 is installed on the water outlet pipe 12 through a rotary sealing joint 15.

[0038] It should be noted that the rotary jet pipe 2 is installed on the water outlet pipe 12 through the rotary sealing joint 15, so that the rotary jet pipe 2 can rotate and transport clean water.

[0039] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 A spiral plate 21 is fixed on the inner circumference of the rotating jet pipe 2. A mushroom mounting base 22 is also fixed at the other end of the rotating jet pipe 2. Brush bristles 3 are fixed on both the rotating jet pipe 2 and the mounting base 22.

[0040] The bristles 3 on the mounting base 22 extend beyond the end of the water outlet pipe 12.

[0041] It should be noted that the bristles 3 on the rotary spray pipe 2 are good for brushing the sides of the feed trough, while the bristles 3 on the mounting base 22 are good for brushing the bottom and corners of the feed trough. Moreover, the bristles 3 on the mounting base 22 extend beyond the end of the water outlet pipe 12, which will make the cleaning effect on the dead corners better.

[0042] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4The locking component 4 includes a first stop cylinder 41 and a second stop cylinder 45. The first stop cylinder 41 is movably sleeved on the water outlet pipe 12, while the second stop cylinder 45 is fixed on the water outlet pipe 12. A spring 46 sleeved on the water outlet pipe 12 is provided between the first stop cylinder 41 and the second stop cylinder 45. A second bayonet 44 is also provided on the inner side wall of the first stop cylinder 41.

[0043] The first baffle 41 is integrally connected to an extension plate 42 at one end, and the other end of the extension plate 42 has a first latch 43, which is engaged with the second latch 23 through the first latch 43.

[0044] The first stop cylinder 41 can be threadedly connected to the external thread 13. When threadedly connected, the extension plate 42 does not engage with the second locking pin 23.

[0045] The second slot 44 on the inner side wall of the first stop 41 can be engaged with the first locking pin 14. In the engaged state, the extension plate 42 is engaged with the second locking pin 23.

[0046] It should be noted that when the rotating jet pipe 2 is fixed by the locking member 4, the connection between the first baffle 41 and the external thread 13 is released. At this time, under the action of the spring force of the spring 46, the first baffle 41 moves toward the position of the rotating jet pipe 2, so that the first latch 43 on the extension plate 42 engages with the second latch 23; at the same time, the second latch 44 on the first baffle 41 will engage with the first latch 14, which can then limit the rotating jet pipe 2.

[0047] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
