Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a sheep feeding trough. Background Technology

[0002] Sheep feeding troughs are essential equipment in livestock farming for feeding sheep with feed, forage, and silage. Traditional sheep feeding troughs are mainly divided into mobile troughs and fixed troughs. Fixed troughs are typically long or round troughs made of cement, bricks, etc., suitable for sheep pens where indoor feeding is the primary method. Fixed troughs are usually rectangular troughs made of wood or sheet metal, suitable for various types of sheep fed indoors. In the breeding process, rural farmers mostly use manual feeding to place feed into the sheep feeding troughs. This process requires feeding multiple times a day. If there are many sheep and the troughs are small and few in number, manual feeding is necessary multiple times, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sheep feeding trough to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] This utility model provides a sheep feeding trough, including a head, main body side plates, feeding troughs, and a discharge adjustment plate. Two symmetrically arranged main body side plates are connected between two head plates to form a storage bin. The lower part of the main body side plates is inclined inward and outward. Two symmetrically arranged feeding troughs are connected between two head plates. The feeding troughs are located below the storage bin. The cross-section of the feeding trough is trapezoidal. The connection between the two feeding troughs forms an obtuse angle, which is located at the lower center of the storage bin. Two strip holes are opened on the discharge adjustment plate. A screw is fixed to the lower outer side of the main body side plate. The screw passes through the strip holes of the discharge adjustment plate. An adjustment screw is threaded on the screw. The discharge adjustment plate is pressed tightly against the outer side of the main body side plate by the adjustment screw.

[0005] Furthermore, a rain cap is fixed to the outer side of the upper part of the main body side plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the left and right ends of the rain cap are connected to the end cap by triangular plugs.

[0007] Furthermore, a hanging cover is connected to the outer side of the middle part of the main body side panel via a hinge, and the hanging cover is suspended and connected to a hook set on the bottom surface of the rain cap via a hanging chain.

[0008] Furthermore, main legs are symmetrically arranged at the lower corners of the end cap.

[0009] Furthermore, a top cover is provided on the top of the main body side panel.

[0010] Furthermore, several reinforcing ribs are evenly arranged between the lower part of the main body side plate and the feeding trough.

[0011] Furthermore, a supporting square tube is provided along the upper edge of the outer side of the feeding trough.

[0012] Furthermore, the main body side plate has two bends, with the first bend having an angle of 135 degrees. ° The angle of the second bend, located below the first bend, is 165°.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body side plate and the end cap, the feed trough and the end cap, the rain cap and the main body side plate, the rain cap and the end cap, and the plug and the end cap are connected by welding or riveting respectively.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the sheep feeding trough is especially suitable for feeding pelleted feed, with a large amount of feed added at one time. The feed can automatically flow into the trough and the flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the discharge regulating plate and the trough; the rain cap, top cover and hanging cover prevent rainwater from entering the trough and storage bin during rain and snow, which could cause the feed in the storage bin to become damp or moldy.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5This embodiment provides a sheep feeding trough, including a head 1, a main body side plate 3, a feeding trough 4, and a discharge adjustment plate 9. Two symmetrically arranged main body side plates 3 are connected between two head 1s to form a storage bin. The lower part of the main body side plate 3 is inclined inward and outward. Two symmetrically arranged feeding troughs 4 are connected between two head 1s. The feeding troughs 4 are located below the storage bin. The cross-section of the feeding trough 4 is trapezoidal. The connection between the two feeding troughs 4 forms an obtuse angle, which is located at the lower center of the storage bin. Two strip holes are opened on the discharge adjustment plate 9. A screw is fixed to the lower outer side of the main body side plate 3. The screw passes through the strip holes of the discharge adjustment plate 9. An adjustment screw 10 is threaded on the screw. The discharge adjustment plate 9 is pressed tightly to the outside of the main body side plate 3 by the adjustment screw 10.

[0023] In this embodiment, the end cap 1 has a width of 1150mm and a height of 900mm, and is made of galvanized steel or stainless steel. When stainless steel is used, the thickness is not less than 1.5mm; when DX51D grade galvanized steel is used, the thickness is not less than 1.7mm to ensure structural strength. The main body side plate 3 is 3000mm long and has two bends. The first bend has an angle of 135°, and the second bend, located below the first bend, has an angle of 165°. It is also made of galvanized steel or stainless steel. When stainless steel is used, the thickness is not less than 1.5mm; when DX51D grade galvanized steel is used, the thickness is not less than 1.7mm to ensure structural strength.

[0024] Specifically, to prevent or reduce rainwater from entering the feed trough 4 during rainy or snowy weather and causing the feed to become damp and spoil, a rain cap 6 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the main body side plate 3. In this embodiment, the rain cap 6 is 3000mm long and 285mm wide, and is made of galvanized sheet or stainless steel sheet. When stainless steel is used, the thickness is not less than 1.5mm, and when DX51D grade galvanized sheet is used, the thickness is not less than 1.7mm to ensure structural strength.
