Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for beef cattle feed troughs to prevent feed residue. Background Technology

[0002] In the livestock farming sector, the cleaning and maintenance of beef cattle feed troughs is a crucial aspect of ensuring farming efficiency and animal health. Currently, traditional beef cattle feed troughs face the prominent problem of difficulty in cleaning feed residue during use. In actual farming scenarios, feed residue in the feed troughs persists due to leftovers and spillage after the cattle have eaten. In the damp environment of the feed troughs, these leftover feed residues are highly susceptible to the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms. When beef cattle accidentally ingest feed containing these microorganisms, it can lead to a series of health problems, such as diarrhea, gastroenteritis, and gastric ulcers, which can cause a decrease in feed intake, nutrient absorption disorders, slow growth, and dull coat color. In severe cases, it can also reduce the cattle's resistance and increase the risk of disease.

[0003] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: feed residue remains on the surface of the feed trough for a long time, bacteria and mold grow on the feed, resulting in slow growth and dull coat color in beef cattle after consumption, and reduced resistance and susceptibility to disease in beef cattle; therefore, a beef cattle feed trough cleaning device to prevent feed residue is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where feed residue on the surface of the feed trough leads to the growth of bacteria and mold, resulting in slow growth, dull coat color, reduced immunity, and increased susceptibility to disease in beef cattle. This invention provides a beef cattle feed trough cleaning device to prevent feed residue from remaining on the surface of the feed trough.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cleaning device for beef cattle feed troughs to prevent feed residue, comprising a feed trough body, a discharge port on the surface of the feed trough body, a cleaning device on the surface of the feed trough body, the cleaning device comprising a fixed frame, the fixed frame being fixedly connected to the surface of the feed trough body, two sliding grooves on the surface of the fixed frame, a cleaning plate being slidably connected to the surfaces of the two sliding grooves, the cleaning plate being slidably connected to the surface of the feed trough body, and a handle being fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning plate.

[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: by setting up a cleaning device, it facilitates the cleaning of residual feed on the feed trough, preventing the growth of bacteria and mold on the feed surface when feed remains for a long time, which could lead to slow growth, dull coat color, reduced resistance, and increased susceptibility to disease in beef cattle after consumption, thus improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing frame, an operating plate is slidably connected to the arc surface of the fixing rod, an insertion rod is fixedly connected to the side of the operating plate near the fixing frame, and a slot is provided on the surface of the cleaning plate.

[0008] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: they can fix the cleaning plate in place, preventing the cleaning plate from sliding due to vibration when the feed is placed into the trough.

[0009] Preferably, a groove is provided at the end of the fixing rod away from the fixing frame, and a blocking block is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove of the fixing rod.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the blocking block can restrict the movement of the control panel, preventing the control panel from slipping off the arc surface of the fixing rod due to excessive force applied by the operator when moving the control panel.

[0011] Preferably, the arc surface of the fixing rod is fitted with a spring, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the operating plate and the fixing frame, respectively.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the spring's rebound force automatically inserts the plug, while also restricting the plug's movement and improving the stability of the plug when fixing the cleaning plate.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the feeding trough body is provided with a blocking device, the blocking device including two rotating blocks, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding trough body, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side of the two rotating blocks that are close to each other, and a blocking plate is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating rod.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: by setting up the blocking device, the discharge port of the feed trough can be blocked, which avoids the situation where the feed falls out of the discharge port after the worker puts the feed into the feed trough and wastes the feed, thus improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0015] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating block, a limiting rod is slidably inserted into the L-shaped plate, and two limiting grooves are formed on the surface of the blocking plate.

[0016] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: they can fix the barrier plate in place. The operation is simple and convenient, allowing workers to quickly open or close the barrier plate.

[0017] Preferably, the arc surface of the rotating rod is fitted with two torsion springs, and the two ends of the torsion springs are fixedly connected to the rotating block and the blocking plate, respectively.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the torsion spring's torque enables the baffle to open automatically, while keeping the baffle open, thus facilitating the cleaning of residual feed on the surface of the feed trough.

[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a cleaning device, the residual feed on the trough body can be easily cleaned by the staff. This avoids the situation where feed remains on the surface of the trough body for a long time, which can lead to the growth of bacteria and mold, resulting in slow growth and dull coat color in beef cattle after consumption, reduced resistance and susceptibility to disease. This improves the practicality of the equipment.

[0021] 2. In this utility model, by setting a blocking device, the feed outlet of the feed trough body can be blocked, which avoids the situation where the feed falls out of the feed outlet after the worker puts the feed into the feed trough body, resulting in feed waste, and improves the practicality of the equipment.

[0029] Reference Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cleaning device for beef cattle feed troughs to prevent feed residue, including a feed trough body 1. The surface of the feed trough body 1 has a discharge port, and a cleaning device 2 is provided on the surface of the feed trough body 1. By setting the cleaning device 2, it is possible to facilitate the cleaning of residual feed from the feed trough body 1 by workers, avoiding the growth of bacteria and mold on the feed when it remains on the surface of the feed trough body 1 for a long time. This prevents beef cattle from growing slowly, having dull coats, and experiencing reduced resistance and susceptibility to disease after consumption, thus improving the practicality of the equipment. A blocking device 3 is provided on the surface of the feed trough body 1, which effectively blocks the discharge port of the feed trough body 1. This prevents feed from falling out of the discharge port after workers put feed into the feed trough body 1, thus avoiding feed waste. This further improves the practicality of the equipment.

[0030] The following section will explain the specific setup and function of the cleaning device 2 and the blocking device 3.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: the cleaning device 2 includes a fixed frame 21, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the feed trough body 1. Two sliding grooves 22 are formed on the surface of the fixed frame 21, and a cleaning plate 23 is slidably connected to the surfaces of the two sliding grooves 22. The cleaning plate 23 is slidably connected to the surface of the feed trough body 1. A handle 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning plate 23. A fixed rod 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed frame 21, and an operating plate 26 is slidably connected to the arc surface of the fixed rod 25. A plug rod 27 is fixedly connected to the side of the operating plate 26 near the fixed frame 21. A slot is formed on the surface of the cleaning plate 23. When the operator needs to clean the residual feed on the surface of the feed trough body 1, the operating plate 26 is moved, causing the plug rod 27 to move. When the plug rod 27 is completely disengaged... When cleaning the surface of the slot of cleaning plate 23, the insert rod 27 releases the fixing of cleaning plate 23. At this time, the operator can use cleaning plate 23 to clean the residual feed on the surface of the feed trough body 1. Pulling handle 24 moves cleaning plate 23, which slides on the surface of feed trough body 1, moving the residual feed. When cleaning plate 23 moves to the appropriate position, feed can be discharged from the discharge port of feed trough body 1. After cleaning, move cleaning plate 23 back to its original position and push operating plate 26 to move insert rod 27. When insert rod 27 is inserted into the surface of the slot of cleaning plate 23, insert rod 27 can fix cleaning plate 23, achieving the effect of fixing cleaning plate 23 and preventing the operator from putting feed into the feed trough body. When vibration occurs within 1 minute, the cleaning plate 23 may slide. A groove is provided at the end of the fixing rod 25 away from the fixing frame 21. A blocking block 28 is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove on the fixing rod 25. When the operator moves the operating plate 26, the operating plate 26 moves the insertion rod 27. When the surface of the operating plate 26 contacts the blocking block 28, the operating plate 26 stops moving. At this time, the insertion rod 27 is completely disengaged from the surface of the slot in the cleaning plate 23, and the operator can move the cleaning plate 23. The blocking block 28 effectively restricts the movement of the operating plate 26, preventing the operating plate 26 from slipping off the arc surface of the fixing rod 25 due to excessive force applied by the operator. A spring 29 is fitted onto the arc surface of the fixing rod 25. Both ends are fixedly connected to the operating plate 26 and the fixed frame 21, respectively. When the operator pulls the operating plate 26, the spring 29 is stretched, and the operating plate 26 drives the insertion rod 27 to move. When the surface of the operating plate 26 contacts the blocking block 28, the operating plate 26 stops moving. At this time, the insertion rod 27 is completely disengaged from the surface of the slot of the cleaning plate 23. The operator can use the cleaning plate 23 to clean the residual feed on the surface of the feed trough body 1. After cleaning, the cleaning plate 23 is moved back to its original position, and the operating plate 26 is released. The rebound force of the spring 29 drives the operating plate 26 to move, and the operating plate 26 drives the insertion rod 27 to move until the insertion rod 27 is inserted into the surface of the slot of the cleaning plate 23. The rebound force of the spring 29 achieves the effect of automatically inserting the insertion rod 27, while also restricting the movement of the insertion rod 27.Improved stability when the insertion rod 27 secures the cleaning plate 23.

[0032] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the blocking device 3 includes two rotating blocks 31, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the feed trough body 1. A rotating rod 32 is rotatably connected to one side of the two rotating blocks 31 that is close to each other. A blocking plate 33 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating rod 32. An L-shaped plate 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating blocks 31. A limiting rod 35 is slidably inserted into the L-shaped plate 34. Two limiting grooves are formed on the surface of the blocking plate 33. When the operator needs to use the blocking plate 33 to block the feed at the outlet of the feed trough body 1, the blocking plate 33 is rotated. The blocking plate 33 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate. When the blocking plate 33 rotates to the surface of the feed outlet of the feed trough body 1, it pushes the limiting rod 35. When the limiting rod 35 is fully inserted into the surface of the blocking groove of the blocking plate 33, the limiting rod 35 can fix the blocking plate 33, achieving a secure connection. The baffle plate 33 is designed for easy and convenient operation, allowing workers to quickly open or close it. Two torsion springs 36 are fitted onto the arc surface of the rotating rod 32. The two ends of the torsion springs 36 are fixedly connected to the rotating block 31 and the baffle plate 33, respectively. When workers need to open the baffle plate 33, they pull the limiting rod 35, which slides within the L-shaped plate 34. When the limiting rod 35 completely disengages from the surface of the limiting groove of the baffle plate 33, it releases its fixation to the baffle plate 33. The torque of the torsion springs 36 drives the baffle plate 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate until the baffle plate 33 is fully open. The torque of the torsion springs 36 achieves the effect of automatically opening the baffle plate 33, while simultaneously keeping it open, thus facilitating the cleaning of residual feed from the surface of the feed trough body 1.

[0033] Working principle: When the operator needs to clean the residual feed on the surface of the feed trough 1, the operating plate 26 is moved, the spring 29 is stretched, and the operating plate 26 moves the insertion rod 27. When the surface of the operating plate 26 contacts the blocking block 28, the operating plate 26 stops moving. At this time, the insertion rod 27 is completely disengaged from the surface of the cleaning plate 23 slot, and the insertion rod 27 is released from fixing the cleaning plate 23. Now the operator can use the cleaning plate 23 to clean the residual feed on the surface of the feed trough 1. Pulling the handle 24 moves the cleaning plate 23, which slides on the surface of the feed trough 1, moving the residual feed on the surface of the feed trough 1. After the cleaning plate 23 is moved to the appropriate position, the feed can be discharged from the outlet of the feed trough body 1. After cleaning, the cleaning plate 23 is moved back to its original position, the operating plate 26 is released, and the rebound force of the spring 29 drives the operating plate 26 to move. The operating plate 26 drives the insertion rod 27 to move. When the insertion rod 27 is inserted into the surface of the slot of the cleaning plate 23, the insertion rod 27 can fix the cleaning plate 23. At this time, it achieves the effect of making it convenient for staff to clean the feed residue in the feed trough body 1. It avoids the situation where feed remains in the feed trough body 1 for a long time, which can cause bacteria, mold and other bacteria to grow in the feed, resulting in slow growth and dull coat color of beef cattle after consumption, and reduced resistance and easy illness of beef cattle.

[0034] When the staff needs to use the baffle plate 33 to block the feed at the outlet of the feed trough body 1, the baffle plate 33 is rotated. The baffle plate 33 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate. When the baffle plate 33 rotates to the surface of the outlet of the feed trough body 1, it pushes the limiting rod 35. When the limiting rod 35 is fully inserted into the surface of the blocking groove of the baffle plate 33, the limiting rod 35 can fix the baffle plate 33. When the staff needs to open the baffle plate 33, the limiting rod 35 is pulled. The limiting rod 35 slides in the L-shaped plate 34. When the limiting rod 35 is completely disengaged from the surface of the limiting groove of the baffle plate 33, the limiting rod 35 releases the fixation of the baffle plate 33. The torque of the torsion spring 36 drives the baffle plate 33 to rotate. The baffle plate 33 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate until the baffle plate 33 is fully opened. At this time, the effect of blocking the outlet of the feed trough body 1 is achieved, which avoids the situation where the feed falls from the outlet and is wasted because there is no proper obstruction after the staff puts the feed into the feed trough body 1.
