Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment, specifically to a feeding trough for poultry farming. Background Technology

[0002] Feed troughs are essential equipment in poultry farming. Currently, commercially available poultry feed troughs have a simple structure, generally consisting of a long feed box and a matching lid. The lid has holes for the poultry to insert their heads and necks to eat, while also preventing them from entering the feed box and scattering feed. However, in actual testing and use, it was found that adding feed to this type of feed trough is inconvenient. Either the lid must be opened to add feed directly into the feed box, which avoids feed waste but is cumbersome due to the need to open the lid, or feed can be poured directly through the holes in the lid, which is simpler but results in a lot of feed being blocked by the lid and unable to enter the feed box. The remaining feed falls onto the surrounding ground, wasting feed and polluting the farming environment. Therefore, a new type of poultry feed trough is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding trough for poultry farming, which effectively solves the problems existing in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A feeding trough for poultry farming includes a bottom box and a top cover. One side of the top cover is hinged to the bottom box, and the other side is fitted with a locking structure between the top cover and the bottom box. The top cover includes a central ridge and side strips on the left and right sides of the central ridge. Multiple ribs are evenly distributed between the central ridge and the side strips, and a feeding opening is formed between adjacent ribs. A protruding ridge is integrally provided on the outer side of each rib, and the connection between the protruding ridge and the side strip is lower than the upper edge of the side strip.

[0006] Furthermore, a partition is provided inside the bottom box, which divides the inner cavity of the bottom box into a material cavity and a water cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, two partitions are symmetrically arranged inside the bottom box, with the material cavity between the two partitions and the rest of the bottom box being a water cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the ribs corresponding to the partition are provided with raised ridges, the height of which is greater than the height of other ridges.

[0009] Furthermore, the top surface of the central ridge is evenly distributed with multiple thorns.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the base box is detachably provided with multiple support feet.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a plug rod fixed to the upper cover and a corresponding plug ring fixed to the bottom box, with a locking nut screwed onto the plug rod.

[0012] Furthermore, a card slot is provided on the left side of the bottom box, and a connecting block corresponding to the card slot is provided on the right side of the bottom box.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] The ribs of this invention have an integrally formed ridge on the outer side, allowing feed to be poured directly onto the left and right sides of the central ridge during feeding. The feed will eventually slide down to the feed inlet and enter the bottom box under the action of the ridge. In addition, the upper edge of the side strip is higher than the connection between the ridge and the side strip, and the side strip also has a blocking effect on the feed, preventing the feed from easily sliding out. Compared with the prior art, this application has a novel design, is easy to use, and has strong practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in this embodiment, a feeding trough for poultry farming includes a bottom box 1 and a top cover 2. One side of the top cover 2 is hinged to the bottom box 1, and the other side is fitted with a locking structure between the top cover 2 and the bottom box 1. Specifically, a hinge shaft is fixed on the bottom box 1, and a bushing corresponding to the hinge shaft is fixed on the top cover 2. The locking structure includes a rod 3 fixed on the top cover 2 and a corresponding ring 4 fixed on the bottom box 1. A locking nut 5 is screwed onto the rod 3. The rod 3 is inserted into the ring 4, and then the locking nut 5 is screwed in. The locking nut 5 presses against the bottom surface of the ring 4, and the rod 3 will not come out of the ring 4 on its own.

[0020] The top cover 2 includes a central ridge 6 and side strips 7 fixed on the left and right sides of the central ridge 6. Multiple ribs 8 are evenly distributed between the central ridge 6 and the side strips 7. A feed inlet 9 is formed between adjacent ribs 8. A protruding ridge 10 is integrally provided on the outer side of the rib 8. The protruding ridge 10 is high in the middle and low on the left and right sides. The left and right sides of the protruding ridge 10 are flush with the left and right sides of the rib 8. Preferably, the cross-section of the protruding ridge 10 is triangular. The connection between the protruding ridge 10 and the side strip 7 is lower than the upper edge of the side strip 7 to prevent the feed from easily sliding out of the top cover 2 from the front and rear sides.

[0021] The bottom box 1 is provided with a partition 11, which divides the inner cavity of the bottom box 1 into a feed cavity and a water cavity, so that a single feeder can provide both feed and water. Specifically, two partitions 11 are symmetrically arranged inside the bottom box 1, with the feed cavity between the two partitions 11 and the water cavity in the remaining part of the bottom box. That is, the feed cavity is located in the middle of the bottom box 1, and the water cavity is located at the left and right ends of the bottom box 1. The ribs corresponding to the partitions 11 are provided with raised protrusions 12, which also have a triangular cross-section. The height of the raised protrusions 12 is greater than the height of the other protrusions 10. Preferably, the height of the raised protrusions 12 is more than twice the height of the other protrusions 10. The raised protrusions 12 can provide better marking and blocking functions, preventing water from being mistakenly added to the feed cavity and feed from being mistakenly added to the water cavity.

[0022] The top surface of the ridge 6 is evenly distributed with multiple spikes 13, which can prevent poultry from flying up and standing, thus avoiding the poultry from accidentally knocking over the feeding trough. The bottom surface of the base box 1 is detachably equipped with multiple support feet 14. Specifically, the support feet 14 have inserts, and the base box 1 is equipped with slots that cooperate with the inserts. In actual use, support feet 14 can be added as needed to adjust the height of the base box 1. The left side of the base box 1 is also equipped with a slot 15, and the right side of the base box 1 is equipped with a connecting block corresponding to the slot 15. The base boxes 1 of multiple feeding troughs can be connected together through the slots 15 and the connecting blocks to form a strip-shaped feeding trough array, which is suitable for large-scale breeding.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the outer side of the rib 8 in this embodiment is integrally provided with a protruding ridge 10. When feeding, the feed can be poured directly to the left and right sides of the central ridge 6. Under the action of the protruding ridge 10, the feed will eventually slide down to the feed inlet 9 and enter the bottom box 1. There is no need to open the lid to feed, which is very convenient. In addition, the upper edge of the side strip 7 is higher than the connection between the protruding ridge 10 and the side strip 7. The side strip also has a blocking effect on the feed, preventing the feed from easily sliding out.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
