Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cattle breeding equipment technology, and in particular to a feed rack for cattle breeding. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of residents' living standards, the demand for beef has continued to rise, and beef consumption has gradually increased, accounting for an increasingly larger proportion of total meat production. This has gradually changed the traditional meat consumption structure that was dominated by pork in the past. In the past, cattle farming mainly adopted grazing, but with the degradation of grasslands and the reduction of grassland carrying capacity, cattle farming has gradually shifted from traditional grazing to mainly stall feeding. Under the stall feeding model, it is necessary to feed the cattle regularly, and the current method of feeding is usually to put the hay on hay racks for the cattle to eat.

[0003] However, there are some problems that need to be solved in the actual use of hay racks. After the cattle finish feeding, hay residue often remains in the hay racks. The existing hay racks have a relatively simple structure, which makes it inconvenient to clean the hay residue inside the hay racks. Before each feeding, the hay racks need to be cleaned manually. This process is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also reduces work efficiency and brings a lot of inconvenience to the farmers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a hay rack for cattle breeding, so as to solve the problem that the hay rack needs to be manually cleaned before each feeding, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also reduces work efficiency and brings many inconveniences to the breeders.

[0005] This utility model provides a hay rack for cattle farming, including a hay rack body. Support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the hay rack body. A cleaning mechanism is provided inside the hay rack body for cleaning remaining hay residue.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a hay rack for cattle farming, including a hay rack body 1. Support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the hay rack body 1. A cleaning mechanism 3 is provided inside the hay rack body 1 for cleaning remaining hay residue inside the hay rack body 1. A discharge port 11 is provided on the right end face of the hay rack body 1 located at the right end of the cleaning mechanism 3. It also includes:

[0026] The partition mechanism 4 is installed inside the hay rack body 1 and is used to separate the hay from the cleaning mechanism 3.

[0027] The transmission mechanism 5 is installed at the left end of the hay rack body 1. The transmission mechanism 5 is used to drive the partition mechanism 4 to open or close. During operation, driven by the transmission mechanism 5, the rotating plate 41 of the partition mechanism 4 can be flexibly opened or closed, thereby effectively separating the hay from the cleaning mechanism 3 during feeding, ensuring that the cattle can eat normally, while preventing hay from entering the cleaning mechanism 3. When it is necessary to clean the residue inside the hay rack, the motor 34 of the cleaning mechanism 3 starts, and at the same time, it works with the transmission mechanism 5 to open the partition mechanism 4. The motor 34 drives the auger rod 31 and auger blade 32 to rotate, thereby pushing the hay residue to the discharge port 11 for discharge. The entire cleaning process is highly automated and easy to operate, greatly saving the time and effort of manual cleaning. In addition, the coordinated work of the partition mechanism 4 and the cleaning mechanism 3 also effectively avoids the accumulation of hay residue inside the hay rack, keeps the hay rack clean, provides a more hygienic feeding environment for the cattle, and also extends the service life of the hay rack, improving its efficiency and applicability.

[0028] In a further embodiment, refer to Figures 3-4 The cleaning mechanism 3 includes an auger rod 31 and a motor 34. The auger rod 31 is rotatably connected to the lower end inside the hay rack body 1. An auger blade 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the auger rod 31. The motor 34 is fixedly connected to the left end of the hay rack body 1 through a fixing bracket. A worm gear 33 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 34. The right end of the worm gear 33 is fixedly connected to the left end of the auger rod 31. The outer wall of the auger blade 32 abuts against the inner wall of the hay rack body 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, a cleaning mechanism 3 consisting of an auger rod 31 and auger blades 32 is set up and connected to a motor 34, which realizes efficient cleaning of hay residue inside the hay rack. When the motor 34 starts, the auger rod 31 is driven to rotate through the worm gear 33, and the auger blades 32 rotate accordingly, pushing the hay residue at the bottom of the hay rack towards the discharge port 11 and discharging it. The outer wall of the auger blades 32 is in close contact with the inner wall of the hay rack body 1, ensuring that the residue on the inner wall of the hay rack can be completely scraped off during the cleaning process, avoiding residue residue, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the hay rack, providing a more hygienic feeding environment for cattle, and also reducing the risk of damage to the hay rack caused by residue accumulation, thus extending the service life of the hay rack.

[0030] In a further embodiment, refer to Figures 2-4 The partition mechanism 4 includes a rotating plate 41 and a rotating shaft 42. There are two pairs of rotating plates 41 and they are located inside the hay rack body 1. There are four rotating shafts 42, which are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the rotating plates 41. The end of the rotating shaft 42 away from the rotating plate 41 extends through to the outside of the hay rack body 1 and is rotatably connected thereto. The adjacent ends of the two sets of rotating plates 41 abut against each other. The end of each rotating plate 41 near the outside of the hay rack body 1 abuts against the inner wall of the hay rack body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, a partition mechanism 4 is provided to achieve effective separation and flexible control of the forage and cleaning mechanism 3. The partition mechanism 4 consists of two pairs of rotating plates 41 and four rotating shafts 42. The rotating plates 41 are installed inside the hay rack body 1 via the rotating shafts 42. One end of the rotating shaft 42 extends to the outside of the hay rack body 1 and is rotatably connected to it, allowing the rotating plates 41 to rotate flexibly. The adjacent ends of the two sets of rotating plates 41 abut against each other, forming an openable partition structure. The end of each rotating plate 41 near the outside of the hay rack body 1 abuts against the inner wall of the hay rack body 1, ensuring the sealing of the partition. During feeding, the rotating plates 41 can be closed to completely separate the hay from the cleaning mechanism 3, preventing hay from entering the cleaning mechanism 3 and ensuring normal hay delivery and cattle feeding. During cleaning, the rotating plates 41 can be opened, allowing the cleaning mechanism 3 to smoothly discharge hay residue. Through the flexible control of the partition mechanism 4, not only is the utilization efficiency of the hay rack improved, but its applicability and reliability are also enhanced. At the same time, hay residue is prevented from interfering with the cleaning mechanism 3, extending the service life of the cleaning mechanism 3.

[0032] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 4The transmission mechanism 5 includes a reciprocating screw 51 and a gear 55. The reciprocating screw 51 is rotatably connected to the left end of the hay rack body 1 through a bearing seat. A worm gear 52 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the reciprocating screw 51. The worm gear 52 meshes with the worm 33. A lifting rod 53 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the reciprocating screw 51. A rack 54 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the lifting rod 53. A pair of gears 55 are provided and are fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating shaft 42 located on the left side of the hay rack body 1. The gears 55 mesh with the rack 54. A dovetail groove 531 is opened on the right end face of the lifting rod 53. A dovetail block 56 is slidably connected inside the dovetail groove 531. The right end of the dovetail block 56 is fixedly connected to the left end of the hay rack body 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the motor 34 starts, the worm gear 33 drives the worm wheel 52 to rotate. The worm wheel 52 converts the rotational motion into the linear motion of the lifting rod 53 through the reciprocating screw 51. The rack 54 and gear 55 on the lifting rod 53 mesh with each other. The gear 55 is fixed on the rotating shaft 42. Thus, the rack 54 and gear 55 drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating plate 41 of the partition mechanism 4 to open or close. This not only enables precise control but also ensures the flexible switching of the partition mechanism 4.

[0034] In addition, the sliding connection between the dovetail groove 531 on the right end face of the lifting rod 53 and the dovetail block 56 further improves the stability and guidance during the transmission process, preventing the lifting rod 53 from deviating or jamming during movement, and ensuring the reliable operation of the entire transmission system. Through the automated control of the transmission mechanism 5, farmers can easily switch between feeding and cleaning modes, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving the efficiency and automation of the feed rack.

[0035] In a further embodiment, refer to Figures 1-2 A storage box 6 is fixedly connected between the two sets of support legs 2 on the right side of the hay rack body 1. The storage box 6 is located directly below the arrangement opening.

[0036] In this embodiment, a storage box 6 is set between the two sets of support legs 2 on the right side of the feed rack body 1 and is located directly below the discharge port 11. This realizes the centralized collection and treatment of feed residue, avoids the residue from being scattered on the ground, reduces the amount of cleaning work, and also keeps the breeding environment clean.

[0037] Although the disclosure is as stated above, the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
