Detailed Implementation
[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A feeding trough for cattle and sheep farming includes a support frame 1 and a trough body 2. There are two support frames 1, which are respectively set on the left and right sides of the trough body 2. The two ends of the trough body 2 are respectively rotatably installed on the side walls of the two support frames 1.
[0024] The trough 2 can rotate around the rotating connection point with the support frame 1. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the trough 2, the operator can rotate the trough 2 to pour out the residual feed, debris and other items inside the trough. Compared with the fixed trough, this rotatable structure greatly improves the convenience of cleaning and reduces the difficulty and workload of manual cleaning.
[0025] Arc-shaped grooves 3 are provided on both the left and right side walls of the tank body 2. A water supply pipe 4 is installed on the side wall of the support frame 1. The water supply pipe 4 passes through the side wall of the tank body 2 through the arc-shaped grooves 3. The water supply pipe 4 is connected to an external water pipe. Multiple water outlet holes 5 are provided on the side wall of the water supply pipe 4. A rubber scraper 6 is fitted to the side wall of the water supply pipe 4. The rubber scraper 6 can fit against the inner wall of the tank body 2.
[0026] The left and right sides of the groove 2 are provided with insertion holes 7, and positioning pins 8 are inserted into the insertion holes 7. The positioning pins 8 can fit against the side wall of the support frame 1.
[0027] Two insertion holes 7 are provided on each of the left and right side walls of the groove 2, and the two insertion holes 7 are located on the left and right sides of the support frame 1 respectively. When the positioning pin 8 is inserted into the insertion hole 7, the angle of the groove 2 will be fixed.
[0028] When the trough 2 is rotated to a horizontal angle for feeding, the positioning pin 8 is inserted into the socket 7 and made to fit against the side wall of the support frame 1. This can fix the trough 2 in place and prevent the feeder from touching the trough 2 when adding hay or feeding cattle and sheep, thus ensuring the stability of the feeding trough during use.
[0029] In this technical solution, the water supply pipe 4 passes through the arc-shaped groove 3 and then through the tank body 2. The arc-shaped groove 3 prevents the water supply pipe 4 from touching the water supply pipe 4 during the rotation of the tank body 2, thus maintaining a relatively stable water supply. The water outlet 5 introduces water into the tank body 2, allowing the water flow to flush the inner wall of the tank body 2 when cleaning is needed, improving the cleaning effect. The rubber scraper 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank body 2. When the tank body 2 rotates, the rubber scraper 6 can scrape off dirt, feed residue, etc., attached to the inner wall of the tank body 2, completing the cleaning work of the inner wall of the tank body 2, reducing bacterial growth, and ensuring the health of cattle and sheep.
[0030] In some technical solutions, a partition 9 is also included. The side wall of the partition 9 is provided with a through hole 10. The partition 9 is sleeved on the outside of the water supply pipe 4 through the through hole 10. The partition 9 can divide the inner cavity of the tank 2. The outer wall of the water supply pipe 4 is provided with threads. The outer wall of the water supply pipe 4 is fitted with a positioning nut 11 by rotating the threads. The positioning nut 11 can fit against the side wall of the partition 9.
[0031] In this technical solution, the partition 9 is fitted on the outside of the water supply pipe 4 through the through hole 10. It can divide the inner cavity of the tank 2 into different areas according to the actual breeding needs. For example, the feeding area can be separated according to the number of cattle and sheep to avoid cattle and sheep fighting for food.
[0032] By rotating the positioning nut 11, the position of the partition 9 on the water supply pipe 4 can be adjusted, flexibly changing the size of the partition area to meet the breeding needs of different numbers of cattle and sheep.
[0033] In some technical solutions, a positioning block 12 is welded to the inner side wall of the tank 2, and a sliding groove 13 is opened on the side wall of the partition 9. The positioning block 12 can be inserted into the sliding groove 13 and can slide in the sliding groove 13.
[0034] In this technical solution, the cooperation between the positioning block 12 and the sliding groove 13 enables precise positioning and guidance of the partition 9 within the groove 2, preventing the partition 9 from shifting or wobbling within the groove 2 and ensuring the stability of the partition 9's separated area. Simultaneously, the sliding function of the positioning block 12 within the sliding groove 13 ensures that the partition 9 does not tilt when the groove 2 is rotated.
[0035] The positioning block 12 needs to be welded on-site according to the breeding separation area to ensure that the positioning block 12 corresponds to each breeding separation area. Then, the position of the partition 9 can be adjusted according to the position of the positioning block 12.
[0036] In some technical solutions, the support frame 1 includes a base plate 101, a main cylinder 102, a secondary cylinder 103, a connecting shaft 104, a pin 105, and a hole 106. The main cylinder 102 is installed on the upper wall of the base plate 101, the secondary cylinder 103 is inserted into the upper wall of the main cylinder 102, the connecting shaft 104 is inserted into the side wall of the secondary cylinder 103, the side wall of the groove 2 has an installation groove 14, the connecting shaft 104 is inserted into the installation groove 14, the pin 105 is inserted into the side wall of the main cylinder 102, and the side wall of the secondary cylinder 103 has a hole 106, the pin 105 can be inserted into the hole 106.
[0037] In this technical solution, the secondary cylinder 103 can move up and down within the main cylinder 102. By inserting the pin 105 into holes 106 of different heights, the height of the secondary cylinder 103 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the trough 2. This adjustable height design can meet the feeding needs of cattle and sheep of different sizes. For example, for small calves and lambs, the height of the trough 2 can be lowered to facilitate their feeding; for adult cattle and sheep, the height of the trough 2 can be appropriately raised to make feeding more comfortable for them, and also to facilitate feeding and cleaning operations by operators.
[0038] In some technical solutions, a sealing ring 15 is fitted to the inner wall of the through hole 10, and the sealing ring 15 can fit against the outer wall of the water supply pipe 4.
[0039] In this technical solution, the sealing ring 15 can enhance the sealing between the partition 9 and the water supply pipe 4. Since the position of the partition 9 needs to be adjusted according to the position of the positioning block 12 in the tank 2, the partition 9 may block the water outlet 5. The sealing ring 15 will seal the blocked water outlet 5 to prevent water from leaking from the connection between the through hole 10 and the water supply pipe 4.
[0040] In some technical solutions, ground nails 16 are inserted and installed at the four corners of the base plate 101, and the ground nails 16 can be screwed into the external ground.
[0041] In this technical solution, by nailing the ground anchors 16 into the ground, the support frame 1 can be firmly fixed to the breeding site, preventing the feeding trough from moving or tipping over due to external forces such as collisions or trampling by cattle and sheep during feeding, thereby enhancing the overall stability and safety of the feeding trough and ensuring the smooth progress of cattle and sheep breeding.
[0042] Working principle: When feeding cattle and sheep through this device, the feed can be poured directly into the various chambers separated by the partition 9 inside the trough 2, which makes it convenient to feed each cattle and sheep in equal amounts.
[0043] When it is necessary to clean the inner cavity of the tank 2, the positioning pin 8 can be pulled out from the insertion hole 7 first. Then, the staff can push the tank 2 to rotate around the connecting shaft 104. The rubber scraper 6 on the outside of the water supply pipe 4 can clean the inner wall of the tank 2. At the same time, the external water pump pumps clean water into the water supply pipe 4 and then flows out through the water outlet 5 to flush the inner wall of the tank 2, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the tank 2.
