Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lamb feeding technology, specifically relating to a portable assembled sheep feeding trough. Background Technology
[0002] Sheep feeding troughs are important facilities in sheep pens, mainly used to enclose feed troughs to ensure feed quality and sheep health. Feeding troughs can prevent feed from being contaminated by external factors such as dust and rainwater, thus ensuring feed quality and hygiene. A proper feeding trough design can reduce fighting and squabbles among sheep, lower the risk of injury, and help sheep maintain health. Through reasonable feeding trough design, feed can be used effectively, waste can be reduced, and feeding costs can be lowered.
[0003] A search revealed a patent application with publication number CN104304058B, which discloses a feeding fence for sheep pens, comprising side fences, posts, vertical fences, and a feeding fence. The feeding fence includes an upper horizontal fence, a middle horizontal fence, and a lower horizontal fence. The lower horizontal fence is characterized by being composed of multiple arc-shaped horizontal bars arranged in an arc pattern, and fixed to the posts or vertical fences by fixing ribs. This arc-shaped arrangement of fences forms a feeding fence for the sheep. The space dedicated solely to feed not only facilitates sheep's eating but also prevents neck injuries. Barrier blocks are installed directly below the upper and middle horizontal bars. Feed is scattered on the ground or in the feed trough between the curved horizontal bars and the barrier blocks. Sheep can easily pass over the barrier blocks to access the inside of the curved horizontal bars for feeding. Furthermore, the outward-convex curved structure of the horizontal bars prevents neck injuries or hair loss from the bars, making it more efficient, convenient, and effective.
[0004] Compared to the aforementioned documents, while the existing sheep feeding troughs utilize an arc-shaped arrangement of fences to create a feeding space for sheep, which not only facilitates feeding but also prevents neck injuries, and includes barriers directly below the upper and middle horizontal fences; feed is scattered on the ground or in the feed trough between the arc-shaped fences and barriers, allowing sheep to pass over the barriers to access the inner side of the arc-shaped fences for feeding; and because the arc-shaped fences are arranged with an outward convex arc trajectory, the sheep's necks are not scratched or their fur is pulled off, making it more reasonable, convenient, and effective. However, existing sheep feeding troughs are typically made of cement or brick, resulting in relatively fixed positions and dimensions that are difficult to adjust according to the actual needs of the flock. This leads to situations where, with a large flock, the feeding troughs cannot meet the sheep's feeding needs, thus affecting their growth, development, and health. Therefore, a portable, assembled sheep feeding trough is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable, assembled sheep feeding trough to solve the problem that existing sheep feeding troughs are usually made of cement or brick, and their position and size are relatively fixed, making it difficult to adjust them according to the actual needs of the sheep flock. As a result, when there are many sheep, the feeding troughs cannot meet the feeding needs of the flock, thus affecting their growth, development and health.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A portable, assembled sheep feeding pen, comprising:
[0008] An assembly and connection mechanism is used for assembling sheep feeding troughs. The assembly and connection mechanism includes multiple first guardrails and multiple second guardrails. The first guardrails have first and second sliding grooves on both sides, and the first and second sliding grooves are perpendicular to each other. The lower part of the first and second sliding grooves has insertion holes, and a mounting magnetic block is fixedly connected inside the insertion holes. The second guardrails have mounting cavities inside, and a square sliding groove is formed on the outer wall of the mounting cavity. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected inside the mounting cavity. A plug-in magnetic plate is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod away from the mounting cavity. A pull slide is fixedly connected to one side of the plug-in magnetic plate, and the end of the pull slide away from the plug-in magnetic plate extends to the outside of the second guardrail through the square sliding groove.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the insertion magnetic plate is slidably fitted with the inner walls of the first and second sliding grooves, and the insertion magnetic plate is slidably inserted into the corresponding insertion hole.
[0010] Preferably, the plug-in magnetic plate and the mounting magnetic block are configured to be opposite poles attracting each other.
[0011] Preferably, the second guardrail has a sliding opening on the outer wall of the mounting cavity, and the end of the plug-in magnetic plate away from the telescopic rod extends slidably to the outside of the second guardrail through the sliding opening.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the pull-out slide plate and the inner wall of the square slide groove are slidably fitted together.
[0013] Preferably, the tops of the first and second chutes extend to the outer top of the first guardrail.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] Through the assembly and connection mechanism, utilizing magnetic and sliding connections, workers can quickly and easily assemble and disassemble sheep feeding troughs, greatly improving work efficiency. Due to the attraction between opposite poles of the plug-in magnetic plate and the mounting magnetic block, the assembled feeding trough structure is stable and not easily loosened, ensuring safe use. The portable design allows the feeding trough to be easily carried and stored after disassembly, saving space and facilitating use in different locations. Compared to existing sheep feeding troughs typically made of cement or brick, the size and shape of the feeding trough can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number and combination of guardrails to meet different feeding needs. This prevents the feeding trough from failing to meet the feeding needs of a large flock, thus affecting their growth, development, and health. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figure 1-5As shown, a portable, assembled sheep feeding trough includes: an assembly and connection mechanism for assembling the sheep feeding trough; the assembly and connection mechanism includes multiple first guardrails 1 and multiple second guardrails 2; first sliding grooves 207 and second sliding grooves 208 are respectively opened on both sides of the first guardrails 1, and the first sliding grooves 207 and second sliding grooves 208 are arranged perpendicularly; insertion holes are opened at the bottom of the interior of the first sliding grooves 207 and second sliding grooves 208, and mounting magnets 206 are fixedly connected inside the insertion holes. The second guardrail 2 has an installation cavity 201 inside. The second guardrail 2 has a square sliding groove 202 on the outer wall of the installation cavity 201. A telescopic rod 203 is fixedly connected inside the installation cavity 201. A plug-in magnetic plate 204 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 203 away from the installation cavity 201. A pull slide plate 205 is fixedly connected to one side of the plug-in magnetic plate 204. The pull slide plate 205 extends to the outside of the second guardrail 2 through the square sliding groove 202.
[0024] The present invention is further described in detail as follows: the outer wall of the plug-in magnetic plate 204 and the inner wall of the first sliding groove 207 and the second sliding groove 208 are slidably fitted together; the plug-in magnetic plate 204 and the plug hole are slidably plugged into each other; the plug-in magnetic plate 204 and the mounting magnetic block 206 are slidably attracted to each other; the second guardrail 2 has a sliding opening on the outer wall of the mounting cavity 201; the end of the plug-in magnetic plate 204 away from the telescopic rod 203 extends slidably to the outside of the second guardrail 2 through the sliding opening; the outer wall of the pull slide plate 205 and the inner wall of the square sliding groove 202 are slidably fitted together; the top of the first sliding groove 207 and the second sliding groove 208 extends to the top outside of the first guardrail 1.
[0025] As can be seen from the above, when assembly is required, the worker can slide the plug-in magnetic plate 204 on one side of the second guardrail 2 into the interior of the second slide groove 208 from top to bottom. Due to the sliding fit between the outer wall of the plug-in magnetic plate 204 and the inner wall of the second slide groove 208, the worker can smoothly slide the second guardrail 2 and the first guardrail 1 into each other. When the plug-in magnetic plate 204 corresponds to the plug hole, according to the attraction between the opposite poles of the plug-in magnetic plate 204 and the mounting magnetic block 206, they will automatically attract each other to achieve a stable connection, so that the first guardrail 1 and the second guardrail 2 can be assembled into a sheep feeding trough.
[0026] When it is necessary to extend the length of the two sides of the first guardrail 1, the plug-in magnetic plate 204 on one side of the second guardrail 2 is slid into the interior of the first slide groove 207 from top to bottom. Based on the above principle, the length of the two sides of the first guardrail 1 can be increased. After the length is increased, the plug-in magnetic plate 204 on one side of the second guardrail 2 is slid into the interior of the second slide groove 208 from top to bottom again, so that the first guardrail 1 and the second guardrail 2 can be assembled into a sheep feeding trough.
[0027] It should be noted that: the length of the first guardrail 1 is increased by the second guardrail 2. The first guardrail 1 and the second guardrail 2 are arranged sequentially. After the length is increased, the guardrails on both sides are the first guardrail 1. Only then can the first guardrail 1 and the second guardrail 2 be assembled into a sheep feeding trough.
[0028] During disassembly, the staff only needs to slide and pull the slide plate 205 to disengage the plug-in magnetic plate 204 from the mounting magnetic block 206, and then slide the second guardrail 2 out along the first slide groove 207 or the second slide groove 208.
[0029] By employing the aforementioned technical solutions and utilizing magnetic and sliding connections, workers can quickly and easily assemble and disassemble sheep feeding troughs, significantly improving work efficiency. Due to the attraction between opposite poles of the insert magnetic plate 204 and the mounting magnetic block 206, the assembled feeding trough structure is stable and not easily loosened, ensuring safe use. The portable design allows the feeding trough to be easily carried and stored after disassembly, saving space and facilitating use in different locations. Compared to existing sheep feeding troughs typically made of cement or brick, the size and shape of the feeding trough can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number and combination of guardrails to meet different feeding needs. This prevents situations where the feeding trough cannot meet the feeding needs of a large flock, thus affecting their growth, development, and health.
[0030] Furthermore, this design is applied to the assembly and use of sheep feeding troughs. Utilizing magnetic and sliding connections, workers can quickly and easily assemble and disassemble the troughs, significantly improving work efficiency. Due to the attraction between opposite poles between the plug-in magnetic plate 204 and the mounting magnetic block 206, the assembled feeding trough structure is stable and not easily loosened, ensuring safe use. The portable design allows the feeding troughs to be easily carried and stored after disassembly, saving space and facilitating use in different locations. Compared to existing sheep feeding troughs typically made of cement or brick, the size and shape of the feeding troughs can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number and combination of guardrails to meet different feeding needs. This avoids situations where the feeding troughs cannot meet the feeding needs of a large flock, thus affecting their growth, development, and health.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
