Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the comprehensive development of breeding technology, poultry farming has become increasingly industrialized, such as chicken farming. Feeding is a crucial aspect of chicken farming; insufficient feeding will affect the chickens' growth and egg production, while excessive feeding will lead to the accumulation of leftover feed in the troughs, making cleaning difficult and causing the feed to mold if not cleaned for a period of time, resulting in chickens getting sick from consuming moldy feed. Furthermore, the traditional design of feeding troughs often results in feed being thrown out of the troughs during feeding, deteriorating the breeding environment and hindering the chickens' healthy growth. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above background, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a poultry feeding trough that facilitates even feed distribution and easy cleaning of residual feed; at the same time, it also reduces the chance of feed being thrown out during feeding, which is beneficial to improving the breeding environment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A poultry feeding trough includes: a base plate; a first feeding plate and a second feeding plate, respectively disposed at both ends of the base plate along a first direction, forming a receiving cavity extending along a second direction with the base plate, the distance between the first feeding plate and the second feeding plate gradually decreasing from the end of the second feeding plate away from the base plate to the end of the second feeding plate close to the base plate, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction; a first protective plate and a second protective plate, the first protective plate being disposed at the end of the first feeding plate away from the base plate, the second protective plate being disposed at the end of the second feeding plate away from the base plate, and the end of the first protective plate away from the first feeding plate being higher than the end of the second protective plate away from the second feeding plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the end of the first protective plate away from the first blanking plate is bent along the side opposite to the receiving cavity to form a first flange, and the end of the second protective plate away from the second blanking plate is bent along the side facing the receiving cavity to form a second flange.

[0007] Furthermore, the poultry feeding trough also includes a support member that supports the surfaces of the first feed plate, the second feed plate, and the bottom plate that are respectively facing away from the receiving cavity. The support member is provided with locking edges and locking protrusions at intervals along the first direction. The first flange and the first protective plate form a first groove with the opening facing downward. The locking protrusion is locked into the first groove, and the locking edge abuts against the surface of the second flange facing away from the receiving cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the poultry feeding trough includes at least two, and the first flange is provided with a first locking part and a second locking part at both ends along the second direction. In two adjacent first flanges, the first locking part of one of them is engaged with the second locking part of the other.

[0009] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​portion is a protruding edge that protrudes from one end of the first flange and extends beyond the snap-fit ​​protrusion along the second direction, and the surface of the protruding edge is lower than the surface of the first flange facing away from the first groove. The second snap-fit ​​portion is a snap-fit ​​groove formed between the first flange and the snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the protruding edge is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting part is provided on the groove wall facing the snap-fit ​​protrusion. When the protruding edge is snapped into the slot, the limiting part abuts against the protruding edge.

[0011] Furthermore, the second flange and the second protective plate form a second groove with the opening facing downwards, the second groove extends along the second direction, and the retaining edge abuts against the side of the second flange facing away from the second groove.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a scraper, which is disposed in the receiving cavity and abuts against the cavity wall. The two ends of the scraper are respectively engaged in the first flange and the second groove, and the scraper can move along the second direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the scraper includes a scraping part and a covering edge and an insertion edge spaced apart on the scraping part. The scraping part is received in the receiving cavity and abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity. The covering edge covers the first flange, and the insertion edge is inserted into the second groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the first flange is provided with a guide protrusion, and the inner wall of the covering edge is provided with a guide recess. The guide protrusion extends along the second direction, and the guide recess cooperates with the guide protrusion.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) The spacing between the first and second feed plates is designed to be smaller the closer it is to the bottom plate. This ensures that the feed falls smoothly and evenly between the first and second feed plates during feeding, concentrating the feed on the bottom plate. This not only facilitates feeding for poultry but also prevents residual feed from accumulating and is easier to clean up, ensuring that poultry do not get sick from ingesting moldy feed. In addition, a first protective plate and a second protective plate are respectively installed on top of the first and second feed plates. The first protective plate is set higher than the second protective plate, so poultry can eat from the side of the second protective plate. At the same time, the second protective plate can effectively prevent feed from being thrown out of the feed trough during feeding, which helps improve the breeding environment and ensures the health and hygiene of poultry.

[0017] (2) The first and second flanges are bent on the first and second feed plates respectively to reduce the sharpness of the first and second feed plates, which can effectively prevent poultry from being scratched when eating and ensure safe feeding. At the same time, the first flange is bent outward and the second flange is bent inward, which can enhance the structural strength of the ends of the first and second protective plates, making it easier for the feeders to step on them and convenient to put feed into the trough.

[0018] (3) A first groove is formed between the first flange and the first protective plate. In this way, when the feeding trough is fixedly installed, the first discharge plate, the bottom plate and the second discharge plate can be placed on the support. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​protrusion of the support is snapped into the first groove, and the snap-fit ​​edge of the support is abutted against the second flange to ensure that the feeding trough is installed quickly and stably.

[0019] (4) A scraper is installed in the accommodating cavity, and the two ends of the scraper are slidably connected to the first flange and the second flange respectively. In this way, for feed that is difficult to clean, the scraper can be moved along the second direction so that the scraper can scrape off the feed that is stuck to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity, thereby improving the cleanliness of the feed trough and ensuring that poultry eat safely and hygienically.

[0034] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a poultry feeding trough 100, including: a base plate 10, a first feeding plate 11, a second feeding plate 12, a first protective plate 20, and a second protective plate 30. The first feeding plate 11 and the second feeding plate 12 are respectively disposed at both ends of the base plate 10 along a first direction X, and together with the base plate 10 form a receiving cavity 13 extending along a second direction Y. The distance between the first feeding plate 11 and the second feeding plate 12 gradually decreases from the end of the second feeding plate 12 away from the base plate 10 to the end of the second feeding plate 12 close to the base plate 10. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. The first protective plate 20 is disposed at the end of the first feeding plate 11 away from the base plate 10, and the second protective plate 30 is disposed at the end of the second feeding plate 12 away from the base plate 10. The end of the first protective plate 20 away from the first feeding plate 11 is higher than the end of the second protective plate 30 away from the second feeding plate 12.

[0035] The poultry feeding trough 100 described above has a spacing between the first feed plate 11 and the second feed plate 12 designed to be smaller the closer it is to the bottom plate 10. This ensures that when feeding, the feed falls smoothly and evenly between the first and second feed plates 11 and 12, concentrating the feed on the bottom plate 10. This not only facilitates feeding for the poultry but also prevents residual feed from accumulating and dispersing, making it easier to clean up any leftover feed and preventing poultry from getting sick from ingesting moldy feed. Furthermore, a first protective plate 20 and a second protective plate 30 are respectively installed on top of the first and second feed plates 11 and 12, with the first protective plate 20 positioned higher than the second protective plate 30. Therefore, poultry can eat from the side near the second protective plate 30. Simultaneously, the second protective plate 30 effectively prevents feed from being thrown out of the feeding trough 100 during feeding, improving the breeding environment and ensuring the health and hygiene of the poultry.

[0036] It should be explained that the distance between the first feed plate 11 and the second feed plate 12 decreases as they approach the bottom plate 10, indicating that the first feed plate 11 and the second feed plate 12 can form a "V" shape, allowing the fed feed to fall smoothly and evenly onto the bottom plate 10. At least one of the first feed plate 11 and the second feed plate 12 can be inclined relative to the vertical direction, having a certain slope. The magnitude of each slope can be determined based on the actual size of the feed trough 100 and the amount of feed fed.

[0037] Optionally, the connection method between the first blanking plate 11, the base plate 10, and the second blanking plate 12 can be, but is not limited to, welding, bolting, snap-fitting, riveting, etc. Of course, the first blanking plate 11, the base plate 10, and the second blanking plate 12 can be designed as an integrated structure.

[0038] It should also be explained that the first protective plate 20 and the second protective plate 30 are respectively installed on the first feed drop plate 11 and the second feed drop plate 12, forming effective protection on both sides of the feed trough 100 along the first direction X, preventing feed from being thrown out by the poultry. One end of the first protective plate 20 is designed to be higher than one end of the second protective plate 30, so that the side where the second protective plate 30 is located can be used by the poultry to start eating; the side where the first protective plate 20 is located is the side opposite to the poultry, making it easier to prevent feed from flying out from the side opposite the poultry.

[0039] Similarly, the connection methods between the first protective plate 20 and the first blanking plate 11, and between the second protective plate 30 and the second blanking plate 12, can be, but are not limited to, welding, riveting, bolting, snap-fitting, etc. Furthermore, they can each be designed as an integrated structure.

[0040] In addition, the material of the trough 100 can be selected in various ways, as long as it meets certain strength requirements. For example, the material of the trough 100 can be, but is not limited to, galvanized steel sheet.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The end of the first protective plate 20 away from the first feed plate 11 is bent along the side facing away from the receiving cavity 13 to form a first flange 21, and the end of the second protective plate 30 away from the second feed plate 12 is bent along the side facing the receiving cavity 13 to form a second flange 31. It can be seen that bending the first flange 21 and the second flange 31 on the first feed plate 11 and the second feed plate 12 respectively can reduce the sharpness of the first feed plate 11 and the second feed plate 12, which can effectively prevent poultry from being scratched when eating and ensure safe eating; at the same time, the first flange 21 is bent outward and the second flange 31 is bent inward, which can enhance the structural strength of the ends of the first protective plate 20 and the second protective plate 30, making it easier for the feeder to step on them and convenient to put feed into the feed trough 100.

[0042] It should be explained that the first flange 21 and the second flange 31 can have various designs, such as both being bent into an arc-shaped structure or an L-shaped structure.

[0043] Furthermore, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The poultry feeding trough 100 also includes a support member 40 supporting the surfaces of the first feeding plate 11, the second feeding plate 12, and the bottom plate 10 facing away from the receiving cavity 13. The support member 40 is provided with locking edges 42 and locking protrusions 41 at intervals along the first direction X. The first flange 21 and the first protective plate 20 form a first groove 22 with the opening facing downward. The locking protrusions 41 are inserted into the first groove 22, and the locking edges 42 abut against the surface of the second flange 31 facing away from the receiving cavity 13. It can be seen that the first groove 22 is formed between the first flange 21 and the first protective plate 20. In this way, when the feeding trough 100 is fixedly installed, the first feeding plate 11, the bottom plate 10, and the second feeding plate 12 can be placed on the support member 40. At the same time, the locking protrusions 41 of the support member 40 are inserted into the first groove 22, and the locking edges 42 of the support member 40 abut against the second flange 31, ensuring that the feeding trough 100 is installed quickly and stably.

[0044] It should be explained that the opening of the first groove 22 is set downwards, so that when the first blanking plate 11, the base plate 10 and the second blanking plate 12 are placed on the support member 40 during fixed installation, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 41 on the support member 40 can be smoothly snapped into the first groove 22, so as to achieve quick and stable installation.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The poultry feeding trough 100 includes at least two parts. Each of the first flanges 21 has a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion at both ends along the second direction Y. In two adjacent first flanges 21, the first engaging portion of one engages with the second engaging portion of the other. It can be seen that the engagement of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion allows adjacent feeding troughs 100 to be quickly joined together, increasing the length of the feeding trough 100 along the second direction Y to adapt to the needs of different stages of breeding.

[0046] It should be explained that there are various ways in which the first and second locking parts can be engaged. For example, the first locking part can be a convex structure and the second locking part can be a groove structure; or, the first locking part can be a groove structure and the second locking part can be a convex structure, etc.

[0047] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The first engaging portion is a protruding edge 23 extending beyond the engaging protrusion 41 at one end of the first flange 21 along the second direction Y. The surface of the protruding edge 23 is lower than the surface of the first flange 21 facing away from the first groove 22. The second engaging portion is a groove 33 formed between the first flange 21 and the engaging protrusion 41, and the protruding edge 23 is used to engage in the groove 33. It can be seen that the surface of the protruding edge 23 is lower than the surface of the first flange 21. Thus, when the protruding edge 23 engages in the groove 33, the height of the surface of the first flange 21 at the groove 33 will not be raised due to the engagement of the protruding edge 23, so that there is no height difference between the two feeding troughs 100 formed by splicing, and between the various first flanges 21, ensuring a smoother splicing between the various feeding troughs 100.

[0048] It should be explained that after the protruding edge 23 is inserted into the slot 33, a fixing operation can be performed between the protruding edge 23 and the slot wall of the slot 33, for example, by using bolts or pins to fix the protruding edge 23 and the slot wall of the slot 33, so as to further improve the splicing between two adjacent feeding troughs 100.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 A limiting part 34 protrudes from the groove wall facing the engaging protrusion 41. When the protruding edge 23 is engaged in the groove 33, the limiting part 34 abuts against the protruding edge 23. In this way, the limiting part 34 restricts the engagement depth of the protruding edge 23, ensuring a more stable splicing.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The second flange 31 and the second protective plate 30 enclose each other to form a second groove 32 with the opening facing downward. The second groove 32 extends along the second direction Y, and the retaining edge 42 abuts against the side of the second flange 31 facing away from the second groove 32.

[0051] Further, please refer to Figure 7 The system also includes a scraper 50, which is disposed within the receiving cavity 13 and abuts against the cavity wall. The two ends of the scraper 50 are respectively engaged in the first flange 21 and the second groove 32, and the scraper 50 can move along the second direction Y. It can be seen that by providing the scraper 50 within the receiving cavity 13, and with its two ends slidably connected to the first flange 21 and the second flange 31, the scraper 50 can be moved along the second direction Y to scrape off feed adhering to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 13, improving the cleanliness of the feed trough 100 and ensuring safe and hygienic feeding for poultry.

[0052] It should be explained that, in order to avoid scratching the base plate 10, the bottom of the scraper 50 can be designed to be made of a flexible material, such as rubber material on the bottom of the scraper 50 to reduce friction.

[0053] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 7 The scraper 50 includes a scraping part 51 and a covering edge 52 and an insertion edge 53 spaced apart on the scraping part 51. The scraping part 51 is housed in the receiving cavity 13 and abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 13. The covering edge 52 covers the first flange 21, and the insertion edge 53 is inserted into the second groove 32. It can be seen that by the cooperation of the covering edge 52 with the first flange 21 and the cooperation of the insertion edge 53 with the second groove 32, the scraper 50 can be quickly installed in the receiving cavity 13. At the same time, during the feed cleaning process, the scraping part 51 can be moved, so that the covering edge 52 moves on the first flange 21 and the insertion edge 53 moves in the second groove 32.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The first flange 21 has a guide protrusion 24, and the inner wall of the covering edge 52 has a guide recess 54. The guide protrusion 24 extends along the second direction Y, and the guide recess 54 cooperates with the guide protrusion 24. It can be seen that this ensures that the movement of the scraper 50 is more stable.

[0055] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
