Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken feed trough technology, specifically a feed trough for chicken farms. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken farming is an important part of agricultural breeding. Many chicken farms adopt the method of pen-raising. When raising chickens in pens, chicken houses are usually built to concentrate the chickens in the chicken houses for unified feeding and management. Chicken feed troughs are set up in the chicken houses. Chicken feed troughs are containers used to hold feed when feeding. In the process of raising chickens in chicken farms, chicken feed troughs are usually open structures.

[0003] Cleaning the chicken feed trough is an important step in ensuring feed hygiene, preventing mold and disease transmission. Daily cleaning of the feed trough can only remove surface residues, but after long-term use, feed oil, mold, bacteria (such as Salmonella and E. coli) and biofilm will accumulate on the inner wall of the feed trough, which seriously affects the health of the flock and production performance. Therefore, the feed trough needs to be deeply cleaned, that is, washed with water and disinfected.

[0004] However, feed troughs are usually fixed structures, and feed residue and mold easily accumulate in the corners of ordinary fixed feed troughs, which are difficult to reach with cleaning tools, making it difficult to clean thoroughly. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feed trough for chicken farms, including a feed box 1 with a feed trough 101. The bottom of the feed box 1 has an opening 102 that communicates with the feed trough 101. The bottom of the feed box 1 is provided with a bottom plate 2. When the bottom plate 2 is connected to the feed box 1, the upper end of the bottom plate 2 is inserted into the opening 102. Positioning blocks 3 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom plate 2. The positioning blocks 3 have arc-shaped positioning grooves 301. Locking components 4 for fixing the positioning blocks 3 are provided at both ends of the feed box 1.

[0026] When deep cleaning of the material tank 101 is required, operate the locking component 4 to separate the locking component 4 from the positioning block 3, and then pull the bottom plate 2 out from the bottom of the opening 102. At this time, the bottom plate 2 and the material box 1 are separated, making it convenient to perform deep cleaning on both separately. You can use a high-pressure water gun or a brush to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the bottom plate 2 and the material box 1, paying attention to those corners and crevices where dirt and grime can easily accumulate, and then disinfect them with disinfectant.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 The locking component 4 includes a guide rod 404 fixed to the end of the material box 1. A movable frame 401 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 404. A positioning rod 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable frame 401. A screw 403 is rotatably inserted into the end of the material box 1. The movable frame 401 is threaded onto the screw 403. When the positioning block 3 is locked, the positioning rod 402 is engaged inside the arc-shaped positioning groove 301.

[0028] By rotating the screw 403, the moving frame 401 is moved away from the material box 1, so that the positioning rod 402 is moved out of the arc-shaped positioning groove 301. At this time, the material box 1 can be separated from the bottom plate 2, that is, the bottom plate 2 can be pulled out from the opening 102. The installation process is the reverse of the above disassembly process, which will not be described in detail. In order to improve the sealing between the bottom plate 2 and the opening 102, a rubber ring can be set in the inner ring of the opening 102.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 The top view of the opening 102 is a rectangular structure, and the top of the base plate 2 is adapted to the shape and size of the opening 102.

[0030] The top dimensions and shape of the base plate 2 need to match the rectangular shape of the opening 102 to ensure that the base plate 2 can be installed tightly inside the opening 102.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 At least two sets of height adjustment components 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 2. The height adjustment component 6 includes an internal threaded sleeve 61 fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 2. A stud 62 is inserted into the internal thread of the internal threaded sleeve 61. A support bar 63 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the stud 62.

[0032] The height of the feed box 1 can be adjusted by the height adjustment component 6 to meet the different growth stages of the feed chickens. That is, the height of the feed box 1 is adapted to the growth needs of the feed chickens. By maintaining an appropriate height of the feed box 1, the feed chickens can easily peck at the feed inside the feed trough 101, reducing discomfort and feeding difficulties caused by the feed trough 101 being too high or too low.

[0033] In specific adjustments, rotating the support bar 63 causes the stud 62 to move inside the internal threaded sleeve 61, thereby adjusting the distance between the support bar 63 and the material box 1.

[0034] Height adjustment for chicks: Generally speaking, chicks are relatively short, and the upper edge of the feed trough 101 should be roughly parallel to the chick's back. This allows the chicks to maintain a natural posture while eating, avoiding discomfort caused by excessive head lifting or lowering.

[0035] Height adjustment for adult chickens: Adult chickens are relatively large and should not bend their necks excessively when feeding. At this stage, the upper edge of the feed trough 101 should be adjusted to be level with the chicken's breast to reduce neck fatigue. This ensures that the angle of the chicken's neck is more natural and comfortable when it stands to eat.

[0036] It should be noted that the support bar 63 can be in the shape of a strip, a cross, or a disc.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 Both ends of the material box 1 are fixedly connected with U-shaped handles 5, which are located above the locking component 4.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 The top view cross-sectional area of ​​the feed trough 101 decreases from top to bottom, and the upper part of the feed trough 101 is wider, making it easier for feed chickens to enter and eat.

[0039] The small bottom area of ​​the material tank 101 allows for more precise control of the cleaning area during washing, avoiding unnecessary waste of time. Cleaning workers can more easily concentrate on the bottom of the material tank 101 for quick cleaning.

[0040] As the bottom of the trough 101 gradually decreases in size, the surface area to be cleaned also becomes relatively smaller; this design reduces complex structures and dead corners.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
