Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding trough cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for feeding troughs in sheep farms. Background Technology
[0002] In the sheep farming industry, the cleanliness of the feeding trough is an important facility for the daily diet of sheep, and the health status of the sheep and the overall operational efficiency of the farm are directly related to the cleanliness of the sheep. During the feeding process, food residue, saliva, excrement and other pollutants are very likely to remain and accumulate in the feeding trough. These pollutants not only breed a large number of bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms, causing digestive tract diseases, infectious diseases and other health problems in sheep, reducing the growth performance and reproductive capacity of sheep, but also produce a pungent odor, which seriously affects the environmental hygiene of the farm.
[0003] The existing method of cleaning feeding troughs generally requires manual washing by the feeders, which increases their workload.
[0004] Existing patent (publication number: CN222679011U) discloses a cleaning device for a sheep farm feeding trough, including a feeding trough with connecting components on both inner walls. Two rotating discs are located inside the feeding trough, each connected to the feeding trough via the connecting components. A drive component is located on the upper surface of the feeding trough to rotate the connecting components. The output end of the drive component is connected to the connecting components. A cleaning component is located between the two rotating discs, and a slag discharge component is located on the outer side of the feeding trough. This invention, by setting a drive component, causes the cleaning component to rotate under the action of the connecting components and rotating discs. The cleaning component can clean the inside of the feeding trough, preventing long-term accumulation of dirt that could lead to spoilage and bacterial growth, which could cause illness in sheep after feeding. It also reduces the workload of the farm workers.

[0028] 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.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0030] A cleaning device for a feeding trough in a sheep farm includes a trough body 1, a connecting frame 2 on the side wall of the trough body 1, a cleaning mechanism 3 in the middle of the connecting frame 2, a filter and recycling mechanism 4 on one side of the trough body 1, and a driving component 5 on the side wall of the trough body 1 for moving the connecting frame 2.
[0031] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a brush plate 31 connected to the middle of the connecting frame 2 by a bearing. A drive motor 32 is bolted to the side wall of the connecting frame 2. The output end of the drive motor 32 is fixedly connected to the brush plate 31. A rinsing pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame 2. Multiple rinsing nozzles 34 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the rinsing pipe 33. A mounting plate 35 is provided on one side of the connecting frame 2. A drying pipe 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 35. Multiple air outlets 37 are provided at the bottom of the drying pipe 36. An electric heating wire 38 is provided inside the drying pipe 36. A fan 39 connected to the drying pipe 36 is bolted to the top of the mounting plate 35.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the drive assembly 5 includes a movable frame 51 fixedly connected to the side wall of the tank 1. A movable block 52 is movably arranged inside the movable frame 51. The movable block 52 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 2. A threaded rod 53 is provided in the middle of the movable frame 51. The threaded rod 53 is threadedly connected to the movable block 52. A servo motor 54 is bolted to the side wall of the movable frame 51. The output end of the servo motor 54 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 53.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, metal brushes 6 are bolted to both sides of the brush plate 31, and the sidewalls of the metal brushes 6 are in contact with the inner wall of the tank 1.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, one end of the flushing pipe 33 is fixedly connected to a corrugated expansion pipe 7, which is connected to an external water supply device.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, two support seats 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank 1, and three adjusting rods 9 are threadedly connected to the side wall of the support seats 8. The bottom of the adjusting rods 9 is fixedly connected to the support feet 10.
[0036] In use, the servo motor 54 on the side wall of the moving frame 51 is activated. The output end of the servo motor 54 drives the threaded rod 53 to rotate. Since the moving block 52 is movably set inside the moving frame 51 and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 2, and the moving block 52 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, according to the thread transmission principle, the rotation of the threaded rod 53 will drive the moving block 52 to move linearly within the moving frame 51. The linear movement of the moving block 52 will then drive the connecting frame 2 to move along the side wall of the tank 1. The drive motor 32 on the side wall of the connecting frame 2 is activated. The output end of the drive motor 32 drives the brush plate 31 to rotate. The rotating metal brush 6 scrubs the inner wall of the tank 1, brushing off stubborn stains, food residue, etc., attached to the tank wall. At the same time, the external water supply equipment supplies water to the flushing pipe 33 through the corrugated telescopic pipe 7. Water is sprayed evenly from multiple flushing nozzles 34 at the bottom of the flushing pipe 33 to flush the inner wall of the tank 1 and remove the brushed dirt. The cleaning process is completed by flushing to ensure the inner wall of the tank 1 is clean. After cleaning, the fan 39 on the top of the mounting plate 35 and the electric heating wire 38 inside the drying tube 36 are activated. The fan 39 draws in external air and delivers it to the drying tube 36. The air is heated as it passes through the electric heating wire 38, forming hot air. The hot air is evenly sprayed out from multiple air outlets 37 at the bottom of the drying tube 36 to dry the inner wall of the cleaned tank 1, removing residual moisture and preventing bacterial growth. In this way, the automatic movement of the connecting frame 2 is achieved through the drive component 5. Combined with the brushing, rinsing and drying functions of the cleaning mechanism 3, the cleaning of the feeding tank is automated, greatly reducing the workload of manual operation and improving cleaning efficiency. The coordinated work of the brush plate 31, rinsing tube 33 and drying tube 36 can thoroughly clean the feeding tank, including every corner and crevices of the inner wall of the tank 1, effectively removing stains and bacteria and ensuring cleaning quality.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the filtration and recovery mechanism 4 includes a recovery pipe 41 disposed on the side wall of the tank 1, a discharge pipe 42 disposed at the bottom of the recovery pipe 41, a liquid outlet pipe 43 disposed on the side wall of the discharge pipe 42, a bottom cover 44 bolted to the bottom of the discharge pipe 42, a filter screen cylinder 45 fixedly connected to the top of the bottom cover 44, and a sealing component 46 disposed in the middle of the recovery pipe 41.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sealing assembly 46 includes a pipe cap 461 disposed at one end of the recovery pipe 41, an electric push rod 462 is bolted to the side wall of the pipe cap 461, and a blocking block 463 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 462. The blocking block 463 is movably connected to the recovery pipe 41.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a support ring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 42, and the support ring 11 is engaged with the filter screen cylinder 45.
[0040] During use, during the cleaning of tank 1, the wastewater after cleaning, as well as feed residue, feces, and other residues flushed down from the inner wall of tank 1, flow into the recovery pipe 41 on the side wall of tank 1. The recovery pipe 41 serves as a collection channel for wastewater and residues, ensuring that these substances can be collected in a concentrated manner. In the initial state, the output end of the electric push rod 462 and the block 463 completely block the recovery pipe 41. When recovering feed and water, the electric push rod 462 pulls the block 463 to open the discharge pipe 42. At this time, the mixture enters the recovery pipe 41 and then flows into... In the discharge pipe 42, the filter screen cylinder 45 filters the mixture. The filtered liquid is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 43. The filter screen cylinder 45 can be easily cleaned by removing the bottom cover 44. The support ring 11 provides stable support for the filter screen cylinder 45. Thus, through the filtration effect of the filter screen cylinder 45, solid components such as feed residue in the wastewater generated by the cleaning tank 1 are separated. These feed residues can be further processed and reused as feed additives or organic fertilizers, reducing the waste of feed resources and lowering the cost of breeding.
[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem that the existing feeding trough cleaning device cannot achieve efficient cleaning of the feeding trough by rinsing, brushing and drying is solved. This results in residual moisture on the inner wall of the trough 1 after cleaning, which easily breeds bacteria and affects the healthy growth of sheep.
[0042] Working principle: When in use, the servo motor 54 on the side wall of the moving frame 51 is first started. The output end of the servo motor 54 drives the threaded rod 53 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 53 drives the moving block 52 to move linearly within the moving frame 51. The linear movement of the moving block 52 then drives the connecting frame 2 to move along the side wall of the tank 1. The output end of the drive motor 32 drives the brush plate 31 to rotate. The rotating metal brush 6 scrubs the inner wall of the tank 1. At the same time, the external water supply device supplies water to the rinsing pipe 33 through the corrugated telescopic pipe 7. The water is evenly sprayed from multiple rinsing nozzles 34 at the bottom of the rinsing pipe 33 to rinse the inner wall of the tank 1. The fan 39 draws in external air and delivers it to the drying pipe 36. The air is heated when it passes through the electric heating wire 38 to form hot air. The hot air is released from multiple air outlets 3 at the bottom of the drying pipe 36. 7. The spray is evenly applied to dry the inner wall of the tank 1 after cleaning, removing residual moisture and preventing bacterial growth. The wastewater after cleaning, as well as feed residue, feces and other residues washed down from the inner wall of the tank 1, will flow into the recovery pipe 41 on the side wall of the tank 1. The recovery pipe 41 serves as a collection channel for wastewater and residues, ensuring that these substances can be collected in a concentrated manner. In the initial state, the output end of the electric push rod 462 and the block 463 completely block the recovery pipe 41. When recovering feed and water, the electric push rod 462 pulls the block 463 to open the discharge pipe 42. At this time, the mixture enters the recovery pipe 41 and then flows into the discharge pipe 42. The filter screen 45 filters the mixture, and the filtered liquid is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 43. The filter screen 45 can be easily cleaned by removing the bottom cover 44.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
