Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hay trough technology, and in particular to a hay trough for sheep that can be fed from multiple directions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the livestock industry, forage feeding is a fundamental aspect of daily husbandry management, and its efficiency and quality directly affect livestock growth and farming efficiency. To ensure the smooth implementation of large-scale and standardized farming operations, farms often equip themselves with various types of feeding troughs to achieve centralized feed delivery and fixed-point feeding. Especially in sheep farming, a well-designed feeding trough structure is of great significance for ensuring balanced feeding and high efficiency for each sheep.

[0003] Existing sheep feed troughs typically employ a fixed structure, primarily consisting of a single-sided feeding trough. Feed is filled manually or mechanically, and gravity or a pushing mechanism guides the feed to the bottom for feeding. While this structure meets basic feeding requirements, it suffers from problems such as a single feeding direction, uneven feed distribution, and difficulty for some sheep to access the feed. This is particularly problematic in large flocks or situations where trough placement is limited, easily leading to uneven feeding and negatively impacting overall feeding efficiency.

[0004] However, existing feeding troughs generally lack the function of multi-directional feeding and uniform distribution of feed, which causes some sheep to be unable to eat fully due to unfavorable positions or piles of feed. This not only affects individual nutrient intake, but may also lead to management problems such as competition for food and large weight differences. It is difficult to meet the technical requirements of modern farming for intelligent and efficient feeding devices. Therefore, a sheep feed trough that can feed in multiple directions is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a sheep feed trough that can be fed from multiple directions. It aims to improve the existing feed trough devices, which generally lack the function of multi-directional feeding and uniform distribution of feed. This results in some sheep being unable to eat fully due to unfavorable positions or piles of feed, which not only affects individual nutrient intake but may also lead to management problems such as competition for food and large differences in weight.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-directional feeding trough for sheep, comprising a trough body, wherein a symmetrical feed trough is rotatably connected inside the trough body, a plurality of partitions are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed trough, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the feed trough, a limit rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixing plate, and a drive assembly is installed on one side of the outer wall of the trough body;

[0007] The drive assembly includes a mounting block and a hydraulic rod. One side of the outer wall of the mounting block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the trough body. The hydraulic rod is fixedly connected inside the mounting block. The output end of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to a limiting plate. The limiting plate has left and right symmetrical limiting grooves inside. The trough body has an arc-shaped groove through it on the side near the limiting plate. One outer wall of the limiting rod is slidably connected to the arc-shaped groove and the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a support is provided on the lower side of the main body of the feeding trough, and an mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support.

[0009] Furthermore, a push rod is slidably connected inside the bracket, and the upper surface of the push rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the feeding trough body.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting rod two is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the push rod, and the outer wall of the limiting rod two is slidably connected inside the bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the bracket, and a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected inside the connecting block.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw is threaded with a slider, and a rotating plate is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the slider.

[0013] Furthermore, a hinge block is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating plate, and the upper surface of the hinge block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the feeding trough body.

[0014] Furthermore, a plurality of support rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body of the feeding trough, and a rain shelter is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support rods.

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

[0016] 1. In this utility model, by placing the feed into the feeding trough inside the main body of the feed trough through the opening on the upper side of the main body, and then moving the limiting plate by the hydraulic rod, the limiting plate can be moved to drive the limiting rod to move simultaneously on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove and the limiting groove. At this time, the limiting rod drives the feeding troughs on both sides to flip inside the main body of the feed trough, so that the feed can be fed from both directions. Furthermore, the multiple partitions inside the feeding trough can evenly distribute the feed so that each sheep can be full, thereby improving the practicality of the feed trough.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the bidirectional lead screw rotates inside the connecting block, thereby causing the slider to move. The movement of the slider then drives the rotating plate to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate then drives the hinge block to push the feeding trough body to adjust its height. At the same time, the feeding trough body drives the limiting rod on one side of the push rod to slide within the bracket, thereby achieving the effect of adjustment according to different growth stages of sheep, thus improving the practicality of the feeding trough.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a sheep feed trough that can be fed in multiple directions. It includes a feed trough body 1, with symmetrical feed troughs 2 rotatably connected inside the feed trough body 1. The feed troughs 2 are used to carry feed and achieve multi-directional feeding through rotation. Multiple partitions 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed troughs 2, separating the feed and ensuring even distribution during feeding, thus guaranteeing balanced feeding for multiple sheep. A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the feed troughs 2. The fixing plate 4 is a connecting component between the drive mechanism and the feed troughs 2, effectively transmitting the driving force of the limiting device to the feed troughs 2. A limiting rod 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 4. The limiting rod 5 cooperates with the limiting structure to guide and limit the rotation range of the feed troughs 2, ensuring reliable rotation in a predetermined direction. A drive assembly is installed on one side of the outer wall of the feed trough body 1. The drive assembly includes a mounting block 7 and a hydraulic rod 8. One side of the outer wall of the mounting block 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed trough body 1. On one side of the wall, a stable mounting base is provided for the hydraulic rod 8 to ensure structural stability during the driving process. The hydraulic rod 8 is fixedly connected inside the mounting block 7, and the output end of the hydraulic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 9. The hydraulic rod 8 is used to provide linear driving force to push the limit plate 9 to move, thereby driving the limit mechanism to achieve linkage control. The limit plate 9 has left and right symmetrical limit grooves 10 inside, which are used to guide the limit rod 5, so that it slides in a controlled manner during the movement of the limit plate 9. An arc-shaped groove 6 is opened through the inside of the trough body 1 near the limit plate 9. The arc-shaped groove 6 cooperates with the limit groove 10 to comprehensively restrict the movement path of the limit rod 5, ensuring its stability and controllability during multi-directional switching. The outer wall of the limit rod 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 6 and the limit groove 10 to achieve linkage sliding with the movement of the limit plate 9, thereby driving the fixed plate 4 and the feeding trough 2 to rotate at an angle, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the feeding direction.

[0027] Specifically, by placing the feed into the feeding trough 2 inside the feeding trough 1 through the opening on the upper side of the feeding trough 1, and then moving the limiting plate 9 by the hydraulic rod 8, the limiting plate 9 moves, thereby driving the limiting rod 5 to move simultaneously on the inner walls of the arc-shaped groove 6 and the limiting groove 10. At this time, the limiting rod 5 drives the feeding troughs 2 on both sides to flip inside the feeding trough 1, thus achieving the effect of feeding from both directions. Furthermore, the multiple partitions 3 inside the feeding trough 2 can evenly distribute the feed, ensuring that each sheep can eat its fill, thereby improving the practicality of the feeding trough.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5A support bracket 13 is installed on the lower side of the main body 1 of the feeding trough. The support bracket 13 provides bottom support and stable support for the entire main body 1 of the feeding trough, ensuring good force balance when the device is placed on the ground. A mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support bracket 13. The mounting plate 14 is used to achieve stable installation of the device on different terrains and is also convenient for fixing with external infrastructure. A push rod 15 is slidably connected inside the support bracket 13. The push rod 15 has a vertical sliding function. Its upper surface is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the main body 1 of the feeding trough, and is used to transmit vertical displacement. It works with the adjustment structure below to achieve dynamic adjustment of the height or posture of the feeding trough. A limit rod 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the push rod 15. The outer wall of the limit rod 16 is slidably connected inside the support bracket 13, and is used to constrain the sliding range of the push rod 15, thereby preventing overtravel and structural damage. A connecting block 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the support bracket 13. The connecting block 17 is used to install and support the bidirectional lead screw 18 and is the mounting base of the lead screw structure. The bidirectional lead screw 18 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 17. 8. The bidirectional lead screw 18 is provided with opposite threads on the left and right sides. It drives the slider 19 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw via rotation, thereby achieving precise fine-tuning of the support mechanism 13. The slider 19 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 18. A rotating plate 20 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the slider 19. The rotating plate 20 is used to rotate around an axis under the drive of the slider 19, realizing angle adjustment or auxiliary lifting of the upper structure. A hinge block 21 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating plate 20. The upper surface of the hinge block 21 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the trough body 1. 21 The hinged connection with the rotating plate 20 enables flexible linkage during the lifting or posture change of the feeding trough, improving its adaptability; multiple support rods 11 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feeding trough body 1. The support rods 11 are used to support the rain shelter 12, improving the device's adaptability to natural climate environment (such as rain); the upper end of the support rods 11 is fixedly connected to the rain shelter 12, which can provide cover for the entire feeding area, reduce rainwater entering the feeding trough, ensure that the feed is dry, and improve the stability and feed utilization rate during use.

[0029] Specifically, through the above structural combination, while ensuring the stable support of the trough body, the push rod 15 is precisely adjusted using the bidirectional lead screw 18 and its matching structure. The posture and height of the trough can be flexibly adjusted according to the terrain or usage requirements. At the same time, the sliding restriction of the limit rod 16 ensures the safe operation of the structure. The cooperation between the rotating plate 20 and the hinge block 21 makes the structural adjustment process have a flexible connection effect, preventing mechanical interference. In addition, the setting of the rain shelter 12 effectively improves the adaptability of the device to the outdoor environment, ensuring that the hay is not affected by rain, thereby enhancing the applicability and practicality of the entire sheep hay trough.

[0030] Working principle: When the feeding trough is needed, it is first installed in the desired area. Then, by rotating the bidirectional lead screw 18, the slider 19 drives the rotating plate 20 to rotate. The rotating plate 20 then drives the hinge block 21 to adjust the height of the feeding trough body 1. The movement of the feeding trough body 1 facilitates the movement of the outer limiting rod 16 of the push rod 15 within the bracket 13. Adjustment of the feeding trough body 1 allows for adjustment according to different growth stages of the sheep. The feed is placed in the feeding trough 2 inside the feed trough 1 through the gap between the feed trough body 1 and the rain shelter 12. The feed is then evenly distributed by the partition 3. The hydraulic rod 8 is then activated to push the limiting plate 9 to rise and fall. The limiting rod 5 is guided to slide on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 6 by the limiting groove 10 inside the limiting plate 9. The movement of the limiting rod 5 causes the two feeding troughs 2 to flip over. The flipping of the two feeding troughs 2 ensures that each sheep can eat its fill.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
