Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding trough technology, and in particular to a feeding trough for raising Anhui white geese. Background Technology

[0002] The Anhui White Goose has a long history of breeding in the Lu'an area, becoming integrated into local folk culture and a part of the local cultural identity. It also plays a significant role in promoting the development of local cultural tourism. The goose is medium-sized, with a high-statured posture, a long, arched neck, a deep and broad chest, and a wide, flat back. Adult male geese typically weigh 5.5-6.5 kg, and female geese weigh 5-6 kg. Feeding troughs are indispensable equipment in the breeding of Anhui White Geese, as their performance directly affects the geese's feeding efficiency and the convenience of feeding management. Feeding troughs are usually placed in the breeding area, and breeders need to use them frequently to feed the geese. Therefore, their rational design is crucial to the efficient operation of the breeding work and the healthy growth of the geese. Currently, the following technologies are typically required for the practical application of feeding troughs in Anhui White Goose breeding:

[0003] 1. Sturdy installation and connection technology: Ensures that all parts of the feeding trough are firmly connected and can withstand the collisions and shaking during the daily feeding process of the white geese, ensuring that the feeding trough will not easily fall apart or be damaged during long-term use.

[0004] 2. Reasonable feed distribution technology: The feed is evenly distributed in the feeding trough, so that each goose can get food in a relatively balanced way, reducing the competition caused by uneven feed distribution and promoting the healthy growth of the goose flock.

[0005] 3. Convenient disassembly and assembly technology: It facilitates quick disassembly and assembly when cleaning, moving or replacing parts is required, saving time and labor costs in feeding and management.

[0006] 4. Effective isolation and protection technology: The feed placement space is effectively isolated from other structural parts to prevent feed from contaminating other parts and affecting the normal function of the feeding trough, while avoiding other parts from contaminating the feed and ensuring feed hygiene.

[0007] Currently, various types of feeding troughs are used to meet the feeding needs of Anhui white geese. Some feeding troughs are reinforced with bottom weights to prevent them from tipping over, taking into account that geese are relatively large domesticated waterfowl.

[0008] However, the above methods have several prominent problems. Existing feeding troughs typically use a one-piece structure, meaning the entire trough except for the top cover is a single unit with a counterweight only at the bottom. In large-scale farming operations, to prevent feed residue, feces, and spilled water from accumulating inside the trough over time, leading to bacterial growth and odors, regular cleaning and maintenance are usually required. This makes moving these one-piece feeding troughs extremely difficult. Farmers need to expend a great deal of physical and mental energy, and may even need to use additional transport tools, which undoubtedly increases labor and time costs. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feeding trough for raising Anhui white geese. It solves the problem of feeding troughs typically employing a one-piece structure—that is, the entire trough except for the top cover is a single unit with a counterweight only installed at the bottom. In large-scale breeding farms, to prevent the accumulation of feed residue, feces, and spilled water in the trough during long-term use, which breeds bacteria and odors, regular cleaning and maintenance are usually required. This makes the transportation of one-piece feeding troughs extremely difficult. It requires a significant amount of physical strength and energy from the breeders, and may even necessitate the use of additional transport tools, undoubtedly increasing labor and time costs.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0011] A feeding trough for raising Anhui white geese includes a main body and a reinforcing base at the lower end of the main body. The reinforcing base has a quick-release rotating mechanism inside, comprising two Z-shaped locking blocks and two sets of torsion springs. The two Z-shaped locking blocks are rotatably connected inside the reinforcing base and are locked onto the inner surface of the reinforcing base. The two sets of torsion springs are respectively sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two Z-shaped locking blocks and are both located inside the reinforcing base. Two fixing ears are fixedly connected to both the main body of the feeding trough and the outer surface of the reinforcing base, and each of the four fixing ears is threaded with a reinforcing bolt.

[0012] Preferably, the reinforced base has two counterweights inside and two lifting handles are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the reinforced base.

[0013] Preferably, the lower end of the reinforcing base is threaded with an external threaded rod, and the lower end of the external threaded rod is fixedly connected to a support base.

[0014] Preferably, the outer surface of the external threaded rod is threaded with a clamping nut, and the clamping nut is in contact with the lower end of the reinforcing base.

[0015] Preferably, a partition is fixedly connected inside the main body of the feeding trough.

[0016] Preferably, a frustum guide seat is fixedly connected to the upper end of the partition plate.

[0017] Preferably, the upper part of the feeding trough body is provided with a feeding trough top cover.

[0018] Preferably, the top cover of the feeding trough has a set of partitions inside.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. During disassembly, first remove the two outer diagonal reinforcing bolts, then press down on the Z-shaped clip to expose the reinforcing base, allowing it to rotate against the torsion spring force and loosen the connection to the main body of the feeding trough. Compared to the method of installing entirely with reinforcing bolts, this greatly saves installation and disassembly time. The two counterweights installed inside the reinforcing base are made of economical materials such as scrap iron or sandbags, which increases the overall bottom weight of the device, lowers the center of gravity of the device, and makes the main body of the feeding trough more stable, reducing the risk of tipping over due to collisions with geese during use.

[0021] 2. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the support base, rotate the external threaded rod so that it rotates on the threaded base of the reinforced base, thereby changing the extension length and adjusting the height of the support base around the perimeter. This allows the feeding trough to adapt to uneven feeding grounds and further ensures the stability of the placement. After adjustment, tighten the locking nut so that it fits against the lower end of the reinforced base to prevent the external threaded rod from loosening and ensure that the support height is fixed.

[0028] This application provides a feeding trough for raising Anhui white geese, which effectively solves the problem that feeding troughs usually adopt an integral structure, that is, the entire feeding trough except for the top cover is an integrated structure, with only a counterweight installed at the bottom. In large-scale breeding sites, in order to avoid the accumulation of feed residue, feces and spilled water in the feeding trough during long-term use, which breeds bacteria and odors, they are usually cleaned and maintained regularly. The transportation of integral feeding troughs becomes extremely difficult. The process requires a significant amount of physical and mental effort from the staff, and may even require additional carrying tools, which undoubtedly increases labor and time costs. During disassembly, first remove the two outer diagonal reinforcing bolts, then press down on the Z-shaped clip to expose the reinforcing base, allowing it to rotate against the torsion spring force and loosen the connection to the main body of the feeding trough. Compared to the method of installing entirely with reinforcing bolts, this method greatly saves installation and disassembly time. The two counterweights installed inside the reinforcing base are made of economical materials such as scrap iron or sandbags, which increases the overall bottom weight of the device, lowers the center of gravity, and makes the main body of the feeding trough more stable, reducing the risk of tipping over due to collisions with geese during use.

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that feeding troughs typically adopt an integral structure, meaning that the feeding trough is entirely integrated except for the top cover, with only a counterweight installed at the bottom. In large-scale breeding farms, to prevent feed residue, feces, and spilled water from accumulating in the trough during long-term use, leading to bacterial growth and odor, it is usually cleaned and maintained regularly. This makes the transportation of integral feeding troughs extremely difficult. Breeders need to expend a lot of physical strength and energy, and may even need to use additional transportation tools, which undoubtedly increases labor and time costs. The overall concept is as follows: A feeding trough for raising Anhui white geese includes a feeding trough body 11, with a reinforcing base 12 at the lower end of the feeding trough body 11. The reinforcing base 12 has a quick-release rotating mechanism inside, which includes two Z-shaped locking blocks 13 and two sets of torsion springs 14. Both Z-shaped locking blocks 13 are rotatably connected to the reinforcing base 12. Inside the base 12, two Z-shaped locking blocks 13 are engaged with the inner surface of the reinforced base 12. Two sets of torsion springs 14 are respectively sleeved on the outer surface of the two Z-shaped locking blocks 13. Both sets of torsion springs 14 are located inside the reinforced base 12. Two fixing ears 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of both the feeding trough body 11 and the reinforced base 12. Reinforcing bolts 16 are threaded into the four fixing ears 15. Two counterweights 17 are set inside the reinforced base 12. The feeding trough body 11 and the reinforced base 12 adopt a split design. This allows for easier handling and collection. When disassembling the feeding trough body 11 and the reinforcing base 12, first remove the two reinforcing bolts 16 installed diagonally on the outer sides of the feeding trough body 11 and the reinforcing base 12. At this time, press down on the two Z-shaped locking blocks 13 to expose the part of the reinforcing base 12. By pressing and rotating them, they are released from the locking and fixing of the feeding trough body 11. The rotation and locking of the two Z-shaped locking blocks 13 improves the convenience of positioning during installation. 3 replaces the method of using reinforcing bolts 16 for installation, saving the time required for installation and disassembly. During installation, the upper arc surface of the Z-shaped locking block 13 is pressed by the lower surface of the feeding trough body 11 to make it rotate. The torsion spring 14 provides elastic force for the rotation and locking of the Z-shaped locking block 13. The two counterweights 17 installed in the reinforcing base 12 increase the overall bottom weight of the device, making the feeding trough body 11 more stable. The counterweights 17 can be made of scrap iron or sandbags, which are more economical options.

[0031] Two lifting handles 18 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the reinforced base 12. An external threaded rod 19 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the reinforced base 12. A support base 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the external threaded rod 19. A locking nut 22 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the external threaded rod 19. The locking nut 22 fits into the lower end of the reinforced base 12. When placing the device, the placement height of the support base 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the extension length of the external threaded rod 19. Adjusting the placement height of the support base 21 can adapt to uneven feeding grounds.

[0032] A partition 23 is fixedly connected inside the main body 11 of the feeding trough. A frustum guide seat 24 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the partition 23. A feeding trough top cover 25 is provided at the upper end of the main body 11 of the feeding trough. A set of partitions 26 are opened inside the feeding trough top cover 25. The feed for feeding the Anhui white geese is put into the feeding trough top cover 25 through the opening at the upper end of the feeding trough top cover 25. The feed falls down the feeding trough top cover 25 to the upper end of the frustum guide seat 24. The upper end of the frustum guide seat 24 is arc-shaped. The frustum guide seat 24 disperses the feed to the surrounding area, making the feed distribution more even. The whole device is placed in the breeding area. The partitions 26 opened inside the feeding trough top cover 25 are adapted to the head size of the Anhui white geese, allowing only the goose's head to enter to eat. The multiple partitions 26 separate the geese from each other for the Anhui white geese to eat. The partition 23 installed inside the main body 11 of the feeding trough is used to separate the snap-fit ​​position from the feed placement space.

[0033] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding trough for raising Anhui white geese. During disassembly, first remove the two outer diagonal reinforcing bolts 16, then press down on the Z-shaped locking block 13 to expose part of the reinforcing base 12, allowing it to rotate against the elastic force of the torsion spring 14, thus loosening the locking connection to the main body 11 of the feeding trough. Compared with the method of installing entirely with reinforcing bolts 16, this greatly saves installation and disassembly time. The two counterweights 17 installed inside the reinforcing base 12 are made of economical materials such as scrap iron or sandbags, increasing the overall bottom weight of the device and lowering the center of gravity of the device, making the main body 11 of the feeding trough more stable and reducing the risk of tipping over due to collisions with geese during use.

[0034] Feeding trough body 11: Serves as the main carrier for placing feed when raising Anhui white geese, providing a place for Anhui white geese to eat;

[0035] Reinforced base 12: Provides stable support for the main body of the feeding trough 11. It is equipped with a quick-release rotating mechanism, counterweight 17 and other components. It is initially connected to the main body of the feeding trough 11 through fixing ears 15 and reinforcing bolts 16. It cooperates with external threaded rod 19, support base 21 and tightening nut 22 to adjust the overall height of the feeding trough to adapt to uneven ground and ensure stable placement.

[0036] Z-shaped locking block 13: During installation, the lower end of the feeding trough body 11 is pressed against the upper arc surface to make it rotate. When the two are in contact, the feeding trough body 11 is locked in place by the elastic force of the torsion spring 14, thus completing the locking and fixing and improving the ease of positioning. During disassembly, the part of the reinforcing base 12 exposed by pressing is pressed to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 14 and rotate, thus releasing the locking of the feeding trough body 11 and saving installation and disassembly time.

[0037] Torsion spring 14: provides elastic force for the rotational engagement of the Z-shaped locking block 13, so that it can quickly lock the feeding trough body 11 during installation, and can overcome the elastic force to release the engagement when the Z-shaped locking block 13 is pressed during disassembly.

[0038] Fixed ear 15: works with reinforcing bolt 16 to provide a preliminary connection between the two and ensure the stability of the overall structure of the feeding trough;

[0039] Reinforcing bolts 16: provide the main fastening force for the feeding trough body 11 and the reinforcing base 12. At the same time, the two reinforcing bolts 16 at the outer corners are removed first during disassembly, and the Z-shaped locking block 13 completes the quick disassembly.

[0040] Counterweight 17: Made of scrap iron or sandbags and other economical materials, it increases the overall weight of the bottom of the device, lowers the center of gravity, makes the main body of the feeding trough 11 more stable, and reduces the risk of tipping over due to collisions with geese.

[0041] Lifting handle 18: It can be held by the keepers to facilitate the movement of the feeding trough. It works in conjunction with the separate design of the feeding trough body 11 and the reinforced base 12 to further improve the ease of movement.

[0042] External thread rod 19: By rotating, the extension length is changed, and it cooperates with the tightening nut 22 to adjust the height of the support base 21, so that the feeding trough can adapt to uneven feeding grounds;

[0043] Support base 21: The height can be adjusted to ensure the stability of the feeding trough on uneven ground;

[0044] Tightening nut 22: After adjusting the height of the support base 21, tightening the tightening nut 22 can prevent the external thread rod 19 from loosening and ensure that the support height is fixed;

[0045] Partition 23: Separates the snap-fit ​​position from the feed placement space, preventing feed from entering the snap-fit ​​structure, avoiding contamination of the snap-fit ​​components or affecting their normal operation, ensuring the stability and service life of the feeding trough structure, and cooperating with the frustum guide seat 24 to guide the feed dispersion.

[0046] Round truncated guide seat 24: Under the action of gravity, the feed put into the top cover 25 of the feeding trough is dispersed in all directions, so that the feed is more evenly distributed in the main body 11 of the feeding trough, which is conducive to the uniform feeding of the Anhui white geese.

[0047] Feeding trough top cover 25: provides an entrance for feed delivery and works with the truncated cone guide seat 24 to disperse feed. The partition 26 is adapted to the head size of the Wanxi white goose, allowing the goose head to reach in and eat. At the same time, multiple partitions 26 separate the geese from each other to maintain the feeding order.

[0048] Divider 26: Adapted to the head size of Anhui white goose, allowing only the goose's head to enter for feeding. Multiple dividers 26 separate the geese, preventing them from interfering with each other during feeding, ensuring that each goose eats relatively independently, and maintaining the feeding order.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] First, when the height of the support base 21 needs to be adjusted, rotate the external threaded rod 19 so that it rotates on the threaded part of the reinforcing base 12, thereby changing the extension length and adjusting the height of the support base 21 around the perimeter. This allows the feeding trough to adapt to uneven feeding grounds, further ensuring the stability of the placement. After adjustment, tighten the locking nut 22 so that it fits against the lower end of the reinforcing base 12, preventing the external threaded rod 19 from loosening and ensuring that the support height is fixed. Feed for feeding Anhui white geese is put in through the opening at the top of the feeding trough top cover 25 and falls onto the top of the truncated cone guide seat 24. The top of the truncated cone guide seat 24 is arc-shaped. Utilizing its shape, the feed moves along the truncated cone guide seat 24 under the action of gravity. The feed is distributed evenly throughout the feeding trough body 11, which is beneficial for the Wanxi White Geese to eat evenly. The partition 26 inside the top cover 25 of the feeding trough is adapted to the head size of the Wanxi White Geese. The Wanxi White Geese can only put their heads into the partition 26 to eat. Multiple partitions 26 separate the geese from each other. This design can prevent the geese from interfering with each other during the feeding process, ensuring that each goose can eat relatively independently. It also helps to maintain the feeding order. The partition 23 installed inside the feeding trough body 11 is used to separate the snap-fit ​​position from the feed placement space, preventing feed from entering the snap-fit ​​structure, avoiding contamination of the snap-fit ​​parts or affecting their normal operation, and ensuring the stability and service life of the feeding trough structure.

[0051] The second step involves a modular design for the feeding trough body 11 and the reinforcing base 12, facilitating transport and collection. They are initially connected via fixing lugs 15 and reinforcing bolts 16. The diagonally mounted reinforcing bolts 16 provide the primary tightening force. The internal rotating mechanism of the reinforcing base 12 consists of a Z-shaped locking block 13 and a torsion spring 14. During installation, the lower surface of the feeding trough body 11 presses against the upper arc surface of the Z-shaped locking block 13, causing it to rotate around its pivot point within the reinforcing base 12. At this time, the torsion spring 14 deforms under stress, storing elastic potential energy. When the reinforcing base 12 and the feeding trough body 11 are in contact, the Z-shaped locking block 13 recovers and locks in place under the elastic force of the torsion spring 14. The main body 11 of the feeding trough is fixed by a snap-fit, which improves the convenience of positioning operation. When disassembling, first remove the two reinforcing bolts 16 at the outer corners, and then press down the Z-shaped locking block 13 to expose the part of the reinforcing base 12, so that it can rotate against the elastic force of the torsion spring 14 and loosen the snap-fit ​​on the main body 11 of the feeding trough. Compared with the method of installing with all reinforcing bolts 16, it greatly saves installation and disassembly time. The two counterweights 17 installed in the reinforcing base 12 are made of scrap iron or sandbags and other economical materials, which increases the overall bottom weight of the device and lowers the center of gravity of the device, making the main body 11 of the feeding trough more stable and reducing the risk of tipping over due to collisions with geese during use.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
