Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of broiler breeding technology, specifically a feeding trough for caged broiler breeding. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern, large-scale, and intensive cage-raised broiler farming model, feed troughs, as an indispensable farming equipment, play a key role in ensuring the normal growth and development of broilers and improving farming efficiency and economic benefits.

[0003] Most existing feed troughs for caged broiler chickens are fixed to the feed storage box, which is inconvenient to disassemble and clean, affecting the hygiene of use. When damaged, it is also difficult to replace individual parts. At the same time, most of the feed troughs for caged broiler chickens require manual feeding multiple times, which requires a lot of time and effort.

[0004] To address these issues, we propose a feed trough for caged broiler chickens. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feed trough for caged broiler chicken farming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feed trough for caged broiler chicken farming, including a feed storage box.

[0007] The top of the storage box is provided with a cover plate, and square grooves are provided at the bottom of both sides of the storage box. A square insert is movably inserted into the square groove. A hemispherical block is fixed at the top of the square insert. A feeding trough is fixed on one side of the square insert. Fixing plates are fixed on both sides of the feeding trough. Limiting posts are fixed on both sides of the storage box.

[0008] The surface of the feeding trough is provided with a second groove, and the sides of the storage box are provided with a first groove. A flow guide plate is fixed inside the storage box. Square sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the storage box, and a slider is movably inserted in the square sliding groove. An adjustment plate is fixed on the other side of the slider, and screws are movably inserted on both sides of the adjustment plate.

[0009] Preferably, a hemispherical block is movably inserted at the bottom of the storage box near the square groove, and multiple sets of hemispherical blocks are equidistantly arranged. Multiple sets of square grooves are opened, and multiple sets of square grooves are equidistantly opened on both sides of the storage box. Square inserts are movably inserted in the multiple sets of square grooves, so that the connection between the storage box and the feeding trough is tighter and the occurrence of falling off is reduced. The surfaces of the storage box and the cover are provided with interlocking latches.

[0010] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the limiting post are respectively fitted with fixing plates, and the limiting post and the surface are fitted with nuts through thread rotation, which facilitates fixing and disassembly and improves the flexibility of use.

[0011] Preferably, multiple sets of the first and second grooves are provided. Multiple sets of the first grooves are equidistantly located on the front and back of the storage box, and multiple sets of the second grooves are equidistantly located on the surface of the feeding trough. The positions and sizes of the multiple sets of the first and second grooves are the same, and the first and second grooves are connected to each other, so that feed can be left in the feeding trough, reducing the workload of the feeder.

[0012] Preferably, multiple sets of square grooves and sliders are provided. The multiple sets of square grooves are equidistantly opened on both sides of the inner wall of the storage box, and the multiple sets of sliders are equidistantly distributed on one side of the adjustment plate, so that the adjustment plate can work more stably and improve the stability during use.

[0013] Preferably, two sets of adjustment plates are symmetrically arranged, and the two sets of adjustment plates are close to the two sides of the inner wall of the storage box. Screws are movably inserted on both sides of the adjustment plates, and one end of the screw is inserted into the inner wall of the storage box through a threaded connection, which facilitates adjustment and improves the practicality of the device.

[0014] Preferably, the guide plate is trapezoidal, with inclined surfaces on both sides. The size of the bottom of the guide plate is the same as the size of the inner wall of the storage box, reducing the occurrence of feed falling to the bottom of the storage box and allowing the feed to fall directly into the feeding trough.

[0015] This utility model provides a feed trough for caged broiler chicken farming, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] By using the feed trough, limiting post, fixing plate, square insert, and hemispherical block in combination, the feed trough and storage trough can be disassembled and installed, allowing them to be separated and fixed. This facilitates comprehensive and meticulous cleaning and disinfection of the inner and outer surfaces, corners, and crevices of the components, reducing the accumulation of dirt over time and minimizing bacterial growth due to incomplete cleaning. This lowers the risk of disease infection in broilers and improves their dietary hygiene. Furthermore, when the feed trough is damaged, it can be replaced individually without replacing the entire unit, reducing procurement costs.

[0017] By using the No. 1 groove, No. 2 groove, square chute, slider, adjusting plate and diversion plate in combination, the purpose of automatic feeding and adjustment of feed output can be achieved. Farmers only need to put the feed in the storage trough, and the feeding will be completed automatically. There is no need for frequent manual feeding, which reduces labor intensity and manpower requirements, allowing them to have more energy to focus on the health of the flock and other management work. The amount of feed can also be adjusted according to different stages of broiler chickens, so that the broilers can get the appropriate amount of food, promote the uniform growth of the flock, and improve the adjustability and flexibility of the device.

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. Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a feed trough for caged broiler chickens, including a feed box 1 with a cover plate 2 at the top, square grooves 7 at the bottom of both sides of the feed box 1, square inserts 9 movably inserted in the square grooves 7, hemispherical blocks 10 fixed at the top of the square inserts 9, a feeding trough 3 fixed on one side of the square inserts 9, and fixing plates 5 fixed on both sides of the feeding trough 3. Limiting posts 4 are fixed on both sides of the feed box 1; hemispherical blocks 10 are movably inserted at the bottom of the feed box 1 near the square grooves 7, and multiple sets of hemispherical blocks 10 are equidistantly arranged; multiple sets of square grooves 7 are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the feed box 1, and square inserts 9 are movably inserted in the multiple sets of square grooves 7; the surfaces of the feed box 1 and the cover plate 2 are provided with mutually locking buckles; the upper and lower ends of the limiting posts 4 are respectively movably fitted with fixing plates 5, and nuts are rotatably fitted on the limiting posts 4 and their surfaces through threads.

[0028] In the above embodiment, before use, place the two sets of feeding troughs 3 on the front and back of the storage box 1 in sequence. First, insert the square insert 9 and the hemispherical block 10 on the back of the feeding trough 3 into the square groove 7 in sequence. At the same time, place the two sets of fixing plates 5 above and below the limiting post 4, so that the fixing plates 5 are fitted above or below the limiting post 4. Finally, put the nut on the surface of the limiting post 4 and screw it in clockwise to fix it. When disassembly is required, the operation can be reversed in the same way. Example 2

[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, based on the same concept as the above embodiment, this embodiment also proposes: a second groove 8 is provided on the surface of the feeding trough 3, a first groove 6 is provided on both sides of the storage box 1, a diversion plate 14 is fixed inside the storage box 1, square sliding grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the storage box 1, and a slider 12 is movably inserted in the square sliding groove 11. An adjusting plate 13 is fixed on the other side of the slider 12, and screws 15 are movably inserted on both sides of the adjusting plate 13; multiple sets of first grooves 6 and second grooves 8 are respectively provided, multiple sets of first grooves 6 are equidistantly provided on the front and back of the storage box 1, multiple sets of second grooves 8 are equidistantly provided on the surface of the feeding trough 3, and multiple sets of first grooves 6 are provided on the back of the storage box 1. The first groove 6 and the second groove 8 are connected in position and size; multiple sets of square sliding grooves 11 and sliders 12 are respectively provided. Multiple sets of square sliding grooves 11 are equidistantly opened on both sides of the inner wall of the storage box 1, and multiple sets of sliders 12 are equidistantly distributed on one side of the adjusting plate 13; two sets of adjusting plates 13 are symmetrically arranged. The two sets of adjusting plates 13 are close to both sides of the inner wall of the storage box 1. Screws 15 are movably inserted on both sides of the adjusting plate 13, and one end of the screw 15 is inserted into the inner wall of the storage box 1 through thread rotation; the diversion plate 14 is set in a trapezoidal shape. The diversion plate 14 has inclined surfaces on both sides. The size of the bottom end of the diversion plate 14 is the same as the size of the inner wall of the storage box 1.

[0030] In the above embodiment, during use, the feed storage box 1 is placed on the ground in a suitable position. The two sets of adjusting plates 13 inside the feed storage box 1 are moved up and down according to the required amount of feed. As the adjusting plates 13 move, the slider 12 slides up and down in the square groove 11. After moving to the suitable position, the two sets of adjusting plates 13 are fixed in the feed storage box 1 by screws 15. Then the cover plate 2 is opened, the feed is poured into the inner wall of the feed storage box 1, and then the feed storage box 1 and the cover plate 2 are closed and locked. According to the different heights of the adjusting plates 13, the position of the first groove 6 is changed, which changes the amount of feed flowing down. Under the action of gravity, the feed flows down the inclined surfaces on both sides of the guide plate 14, passes through the first groove 6 and the second groove 8 in sequence, and flows into the feeding trough 3. The flowing feed will accumulate in the feeding trough 3. When the height of the feed accumulation is higher than the second groove 8 and the first groove 6, the feed stops flowing. As the chickens peck at the feed, the feed in the feed storage box 1 will continuously flow down into the feeding trough 3.
