[0029] Reference Figures 1-5A feed trough 8 for pig farming includes a frame 1 and a feed trough 2. Two corresponding fixing blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed trough 2. The two fixing blocks 3 are respectively provided with threaded holes and sliding holes. A feed inlet is provided at the top of the frame 1. Two control slots are provided on the inner side wall of the frame 1. A threaded rod 4 and a sliding rod 5 are rotatably connected inside the two control slots, respectively. The threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the sliding rod 5 is slidably connected to the sliding hole. A motor 6 connected to the threaded rod 4 is installed at the top of the frame 1. A control button 7 electrically connected to the motor 6 is installed on the outer wall of the frame 1. Multiple evenly distributed through slots are provided at the rear end of the feed trough 2. Feed troughs 8 are slidably connected inside the multiple through slots. A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the feed trough 8. Two cooperating telescopic rods 10 are provided at the bottom end of the connecting block 9. A moving block 11 is provided at the bottom end of each of the two telescopic rods 10. A plug 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the feeding trough 2, and a slot 13 that mates with the plug 12 is fixedly connected to the feeding trough 2. A spring 14 is provided between the moving block 11 and the connecting block 9. When feeding is required, feed is poured into the feeding trough 2 from the feed inlet, so that the feed enters the feeding trough 8. Pressing the control button 7 controls the motor 6 to start. The motor 6 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate, and the threaded rod 4 drives the fixed block 3 and the feeding trough 2 to move, so that the feeding trough 2 moves downward, so that the feeding trough 8 is exposed, making it easier to feed the pigs. After feeding, the control button 7 is used to control the motor 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the feeding trough 2 moves upward, so that the feeding trough 2 can be retracted. When it is necessary to clean the feeding trough 8, push the moving block 11 to drive the plug 12 to disengage from the slot 13. At this time, the feeding trough 8 can be pulled out from the through groove, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the feeding trough 8 and prevent feed residue and mold from occurring in the feeding trough 2.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Multiple connecting blocks 9 have finger grooves 15 at their top ends, and a control rod 16 is provided between two moving blocks 11. The finger grooves 15 are for personnel to insert their fingers, so as to facilitate the use of their hands to pull out the feed trough 8. The control rod 16 is used to facilitate the personnel to control the moving blocks 11, so as to achieve the purpose of saving effort.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 Two corresponding limiting sliders 17 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the multiple feed troughs 8. A limiting groove 18 that cooperates with the limiting slider 17 is provided on the inner side wall of the feed trough 2. The limiting groove 18 cooperates with the limiting slider 17 to limit the feed trough 8, thereby preventing the feed trough 8 from tilting up, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.

[0032] Reference Figure 4An inclined guide 19 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of multiple feed troughs 8 near the rear end. The inclined guide 19 is used to guide the feed so that the feed slides to a position near the front end of the feed trough 8, thereby facilitating feeding of pigs.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to a cover plate 20 that matches the feed inlet. The cover plate 20 is used to seal the feed inlet to prevent impurities and dirt from entering the frame 1 and the feed trough 2 from the feed inlet, thereby reducing the contamination inside the equipment.

[0034] In summary, the working principle and process of the feed trough 8 for pig farming are as follows: When feeding is required, feed is poured into the feed trough 2 from the feed inlet. Pressing the control button 7 starts the motor 6, which drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. The threaded rod 4 moves the fixed block 3 and the feed trough 2, causing the feed trough 2 to move downwards, exposing the feed trough 8 for easy feeding. After feeding, the control button 7 reverses the motor 6, causing the feed trough 2 to move upwards, thus retracting the feed trough 2. When cleaning the feed trough 8 is required, pushing the moving block 11 disengages the insert block 12 from the slot 13, allowing the feed trough 8 to be pulled out of the slot for easy cleaning. The feed trough 8 is cleaned to prevent feed residue and mold growth in the feed trough 2. The finger groove 15 is for personnel to insert their fingers, making it easier to pull out the feed trough 8 with leverage. The control rod 16 is used to facilitate personnel to control the moving block 11, thereby saving effort. The limiting slide groove 18 cooperates with the limiting slider 17 to limit the feed trough 8, thereby preventing it from tilting and improving the stability of the equipment. The inclined guide 19 is used to guide the feed, allowing it to slide to a position close to the front of the feed trough 8, making it easier to feed the pigs. The cover plate 20 is used to seal the feed inlet, thereby preventing impurities and dirt from entering the frame 1 and feed trough 2 from the feed inlet, thereby reducing internal contamination of the equipment.
