[0021] This utility model embodiment provides a feeding trough for sheep farming, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the feeding trough for raising meat sheep includes: a base frame 1, on which a feeding trough 2 for feeding the raised meat sheep is fixedly installed; a water tank 3 fixedly installed on the base frame 1, on which a storage box 4 for storing feed for raising meat sheep is fixedly installed, and a feeding hopper 5 for discharging feed from the storage box 4 into the feeding trough 2 is connected; a control mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of the feeding hopper 5 is assembled on the storage box 4 and the feeding hopper 5; and a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the inside of the feeding trough 2 is assembled on the storage box 4.
[0022] In this embodiment, the entire device is placed in a corresponding location within the sheep farming area. When feeding the sheep, feed is placed in the storage box 4, and water is added to the water tank 3. To feed the sheep, the operator activates the control mechanism to open the feed hopper 5, placing a certain amount of feed into the feeding trough 2. Then, the feeding trough 2 is closed via the control mechanism. Feeding is convenient and simple. When cleaning the feeding trough 2 is required, the cleaning mechanism is activated to flush water into the trough 2, thus facilitating cleaning and reducing manual cleaning. This device improves the efficiency of feeding sheep farming by increasing the frequency of cleaning and reducing the risk of bacterial growth and disease in sheep due to untimely cleaning of feeding trough 2. It also ensures healthy sheep farming and improves efficiency. Furthermore, the device allows for water supply to the feeding trough 2 via a cleaning mechanism, facilitating feeding and cleaning operations, reducing the hassle of manual cleaning, increasing the frequency of cleaning, and further reducing the risk of bacterial growth and disease in sheep due to untimely cleaning of feeding trough 2, thus ensuring healthy sheep farming.
[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control mechanism includes: a first telescopic rod 6 fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the storage box 4; and a baffle 7 slidably installed on the hopper 5 for sealing the hopper 5, wherein the baffle 7 and the output shaft of the first telescopic rod 6 are fixedly connected.
[0024] In this embodiment, when using the control mechanism, when feed needs to be added, the first telescopic rod 6 is activated to drive the baffle 7 to slide, opening the feed hopper 5, and the feed falls smoothly into the feeding trough 2; when the amount added reaches the required level, the first telescopic rod 6 is activated again to drive the baffle 7 to slide, blocking the feed hopper 5 and stopping the feed addition. The feeding is convenient and simple, providing convenience for the staff.
[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism includes: a water pump 8 fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the storage box 4, an inlet pipe 9 connected to the inlet end of the water pump 8, the inlet pipe 9 being connected to the water tank 3; a hose 10 connected to the outlet end of the water pump 8, a connecting pipe 11 connected to the hose 10, and a plurality of nozzles 12 provided on the connecting pipe 11.
[0026] In this embodiment, when using the cleaning mechanism, the water pump 8 is started. The water pump 8 draws water from the water tank 3 and delivers it to multiple nozzles 12 through the water inlet pipe 9, hose 10 and connecting pipe 11. The nozzles 12 spray water to clean the feeding trough 2, reducing the trouble of manual cleaning, increasing the cleaning frequency, and reducing the risk of bacterial growth and diseases in the sheep due to untimely cleaning of the feeding trough 2. This ensures the healthy breeding of sheep and improves breeding efficiency. At the same time, by adding water to the feeding trough 2 through the cleaning mechanism, the sheep can be fed water.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second telescopic rod 13 is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the storage box 4. The output shaft of the second telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 11. The second telescopic rod 13 is used to move the connecting pipe 11 down into the feeding trough 2 to clean the feeding trough 2.
[0028] In this embodiment, when using the cleaning mechanism, the second telescopic rod 13 is activated first. The output shaft of the second telescopic rod 13 extends and drives the connecting pipe 11 to move down into the feeding trough 2, so that the nozzle 12 can rinse and clean the inside of the feeding trough 2 more closely and comprehensively. After cleaning is completed, the output shaft of the second telescopic rod 13 retracts and pulls the connecting pipe 11 back to its original position.
[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the storage box 4 is provided with a drying mechanism for drying the cleaned feeding trough 2. The drying mechanism includes: a fan 14 fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the storage box 4, with a vertical pipe 15 connected to the air outlet of the fan 14; and a drying pipe 16 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage box 4 and having multiple air outlets, the drying pipe 16 being connected to the vertical pipe 15.
[0030] In this embodiment, after cleaning the feeding trough 2, the blower 14 is started. The blower 14 generates airflow, which enters the vertical pipe 15 through the air outlet and is then transported to the drying pipe 16. The airflow in the drying pipe 16 is blown out from multiple air outlets and blown towards the cleaned feeding trough 2 to dry it. The feeding trough 2 dries as quickly as possible, destroying the damp environment for bacterial growth and greatly reducing the possibility of bacterial growth. This provides a clean and hygienic feeding environment for the sheep and reduces the risk of disease infection.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a drain pipe 17 is provided on the feeding trough 2, and the drain pipe 17 is used to drain the water used to clean the feeding trough 2.
[0032] In this embodiment, when cleaning the feeding trough 2, the drain pipe 17 should be opened. The drain pipe 17 is connected to the corresponding collection pipe. The water generated during the rinsing process, as well as the sewage that was originally left in the feeding trough 2, will be discharged through the drain pipe 17, so that the sewage in the feeding trough 2 can be discharged in a timely and smooth manner, and sewage will not accumulate in the feeding trough 2. At the same time, when adding water to the feeding trough 2 to feed the sheep, the drain pipe 17 needs to be closed. Moreover, cleaning should be carried out during non-feeding stages.
[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a guide rod 18 is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the storage box 4. The guide rod 18 is slidably connected to the baffle 7, and the guide rod 18 is used to guide the movement of the baffle 7.
[0034] In this embodiment, during the movement of the first telescopic rod 6 driving the baffle 7, the guide rod 18 plays a guiding role, and the baffle 7 slides along the direction of the guide rod 18 to ensure that the baffle 7 can move smoothly and accurately to the designated position, thereby achieving effective control over the opening and closing of the hopper 5.
[0035] In summary, compared with related technologies, this device can be used to feed the raised sheep, and it is easy to clean, reducing the trouble of manual cleaning, increasing the cleaning frequency, and reducing the risk of bacterial growth and sheep diseases caused by untimely cleaning of the feeding trough 2, thus ensuring the healthy breeding of sheep.
