Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry breeding technology, and in particular to a poultry feeding trough. Background Technology

[0002] Poultry is a general term for artificially raised birds, which are generally pheasants and ducks, such as chickens, ducks, and geese. Poultry are mainly raised to obtain their meat and eggs. In addition, their feathers and droppings also have important economic value. Currently, poultry are all artificially fed.

[0003] In patent document CN218897935U, a poultry feeding trough is described, which includes a water tank. Two connecting plates are fixed to the top of the water tank. The side walls of both connecting plates are rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft via bearings. An L-shaped block is fixed to one end of each first rotating shaft. A feeding trough is fixed between the two L-shaped blocks. A drive mechanism for rotating the feeding trough is provided on the top of the water tank. An L-shaped plate is fixed to the top of the water tank, and two support blocks are fixed to one side wall of the L-shaped plate. This device comprises a water tank, connecting plates, first rotating shafts, L-shaped blocks, a feeding trough, and a drive mechanism. The feeding trough comprises a drive mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a support block, a bidirectional lead screw, a first motor, a moving block, and a filter frame. During the feeding process, after feeding the poultry, the control switch of the feeding trough is activated. The drive mechanism then flips the trough, and finally, with the cooperation of the cleaning mechanism and the first motor, the feeding trough is automatically cleaned, eliminating the need for manual cleaning. Furthermore, the wastewater from cleaning the trough flows back into the water tank for recycling, thus avoiding significant water waste. However, the aforementioned patent literature still has the following drawbacks in practice:

[0004] The current device requires manual feeding, which can lead to uneven feed distribution. Feed tends to accumulate near the feeding point while areas further away have less. This can cause poultry to compete for food, with those near the feed accumulation potentially overeating while others go hungry, hindering their growth. Furthermore, manual feeding makes it difficult to precisely control the amount of feed given each time, which can slow down growth and increase costs. Therefore, we propose a poultry feeding trough to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a poultry feeding trough that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A poultry feeding trough includes a feeding trough, a rotating frame rotatably connected to the top of the feeding trough, handles fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the feeding trough, a feeding component provided on the top of the rotating frame, and a protective component provided inside the rotating frame.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a threaded rod, the left and right outer surfaces of which are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame, and a motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating frame, the output end of which is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded rod.

[0009] Preferably, a feeding box is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod, the bottom of the feeding box is in contact with the top of the rotating frame, and two gear racks are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating frame.

[0010] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box, and several rotating plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod.

[0011] Preferably, gears are fixedly connected to both the front and back of the rotating rod, and the bottoms of the two gears are meshed with the top of the gear rack on the same side.

[0012] Preferably, the number of protective components is several, and the several protective components are arranged in a linear array. Each protective component includes a rotating plate, the right end of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the rotating frame, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block away from the center of the rotating frame, and a moving block is slidably connected to the outer surface of the fixing rod.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the movable block away from the center of the rotating frame is in contact with the end of the connecting plate on the same side near the center of the rotating frame. A spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed rod. The end of the spring away from the center of the rotating frame is fixedly connected to the end of the movable block on the same side near the center of the rotating frame. The end of the spring near the center of the rotating frame is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed block on the same side away from the center of the rotating frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model, by setting up a feeding component, specifically by turning on the motor to drive the threaded rod to rotate, will cause the feeding box to move left and right when the threaded rod rotates, so that the feed can be distributed more evenly in the feeding trough. This not only avoids the situation where some poultry do not get enough to eat due to the phenomenon of poultry fighting for food, which affects their growth and development, but also allows for precise control of the amount of feed each time, improving the growth rate of poultry and thus reducing breeding costs.

[0017] 2. This utility model incorporates a protective component. Specifically, when poultry finishes eating, it retracts its head, and a deformable spring pushes a moving block back to its original position. This prevents birds from stealing feed from poultry before they finish eating, saving on feed costs and avoiding frequent feed replenishment due to theft, thus optimizing feed utilization efficiency. Furthermore, it prevents birds from spreading germs and parasites to the feed and feeding troughs while stealing feed, reducing the incidence and mortality of poultry diseases.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a poultry feeding trough includes a feeding trough 1, a rotating frame 11 rotatably connected to the top of the feeding trough 1, handles 12 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the feeding trough 1, a feeding component 2 provided on the top of the rotating frame 11, and a protective component 3 provided inside the rotating frame 11.

[0026] Specifically, in order to achieve the goal of evenly distributing feed, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the feeding component 2 includes a threaded rod 21. The left and right outer surfaces of the threaded rod 21 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 11. A motor 22 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating frame 11, and the output end of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded rod 21.

[0027] Further reading Figure 2 In this embodiment, the outer surface of the threaded rod 21 is threadedly connected to a feeding box 23, the bottom of the feeding box 23 is in contact with the top of the rotating frame 11, and two gear racks 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating frame 11.

[0028] During implementation, the feed is first placed inside the feeding box 23, and the motor 22 is turned on to drive the threaded rod 21 to rotate in the inner wall of the rotating frame 11. As the threaded rod 21 rotates, it will drive the feeding box 23 to move left and right.

[0029] Further reading Figure 3 In this embodiment, a rotating rod 231 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 23, and a plurality of rotating plates 232 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 231.

[0030] Further reading Figure 3 In this embodiment, gears 233 are fixedly connected to both the front and back of the rotating rod 231, and the bottom of both gears 233 are meshed with the top of the gear rack 24 on the same side.

[0031] During implementation, as the feeding box 23 moves, it drives two gears 233 to rotate on the top of the corresponding gear rack 24. As the gears 233 rotate, they drive the rotating rod 231 to rotate within the inner wall of the feeding box 23. When the rotating rod 231 rotates, it drives several rotating plates 232 to rotate. When the rotating plates 232 rotate, they can evenly discharge the feed inside the feeding box 23 downwards, making the feed more evenly distributed in the feeding trough 1. This not only avoids the situation where some poultry do not get enough to eat due to competition for food, thus affecting their growth and development, but also allows for precise control of the amount of feed given each time, improving the growth rate of poultry and reducing breeding costs.

[0032] Example 2: This example adds a protective component based on Example 1.

[0033] Specifically, in order to prevent birds from stealing the feed, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the number of protective components 3 is several, and the several protective components 3 are arranged in a linear array. Each protective component 3 includes a rotating plate 31. The right end of the rotating plate 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 11, and a connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 31.

[0034] Further reading Figure 5 In this embodiment, a fixing block 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the rotating frame 11, and a fixing rod 331 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing block 33 away from the center of the rotating frame 11. A moving block 332 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the fixing rod 331.

[0035] Further reading Figure 5 In this embodiment, the end of the moving block 332 away from the center of the rotating frame 11 is in contact with the end of the connecting plate 32 on the same side near the center of the rotating frame 11. A spring 333 is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing rod 331. The end of the spring 333 away from the center of the rotating frame 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the moving block 332 on the same side near the center of the rotating frame 11. The end of the spring 333 near the center of the rotating frame 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block 33 on the same side away from the center of the rotating frame 11.

[0036] During implementation, when poultry are feeding, they push the rotating plate 31 to rotate inside the rotating frame 11, allowing them to insert their heads inside to eat. As the rotating plate 31 rotates, it pushes the moving block 332 to move on the outer surface of the fixed rod 331 via the connecting plate 32. The movement of the fixed rod 331 compresses the spring 333, causing it to deform. When the poultry finishes feeding, they retract their heads, and the deformed spring 333 pushes the moving block 332 back to its original position. The movement of the moving block 332, via the connecting plate 32, pushes the rotating plate 31 to rotate, closing the plate. This prevents birds from stealing feed before the poultry have finished eating, saving on feed costs and avoiding frequent feed replenishment due to theft, thus optimizing feed utilization efficiency. Furthermore, it prevents birds from spreading pathogens and parasites to the feed and feeding troughs while stealing feed, reducing poultry morbidity and mortality.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When feeding poultry, the feed is first placed inside the feeding box 23. The motor 22 is turned on, driving the threaded rod 21 to rotate within the inner wall of the rotating frame 11. Simultaneously, the rotation of the threaded rod 21 causes the feeding box 23 to move left and right. During this movement, the feeding box 23 drives two gears 233 to rotate on the top of their corresponding gear racks 24. The rotation of the gears 233, in turn, causes the rotating rod 231 to rotate within the inner wall of the feeding box 23. The rotation of the rotating rod 231 causes several rotating plates 232 to rotate. The rotating plates 232 then evenly discharge the feed from the feeding box 23 downwards, ensuring a more uniform distribution of feed in the feeding trough 1. This not only prevents some poultry from going hungry due to competition for food, thus hindering their growth and development, but also allows for precise control of the feeding amount each time, improving the growth rate of the poultry and reducing breeding costs. When feeding, poultry push the rotating plate 31 to rotate inside the rotating frame 11, allowing them to insert their heads inside to eat. As the rotating plate 31 rotates, it pushes the moving block 332 along the outer surface of the fixed rod 331 via the connecting plate 32. The movement of the fixed rod 331 compresses the spring 333, causing it to deform. When the poultry finishes feeding, it retracts its head, and the deformed spring 333 pushes the moving block 332 back to its original position. The movement of the moving block 332, via the connecting plate 32, pushes the rotating plate 31 to rotate, closing the feeding mechanism. This prevents birds from stealing feed before the poultry finishes eating, saving on feed costs and avoiding frequent feed replenishment due to theft, thus optimizing feed utilization efficiency. Furthermore, it prevents birds from spreading pathogens and parasites to the feed and feeding troughs while stealing feed, reducing poultry morbidity and mortality.
