Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically relating to a partitioned sheep farm feed trough. Background Technology

[0002] In modern animal husbandry, sheep farm feed troughs are one of the key facilities for ensuring the healthy growth of sheep and efficient breeding.

[0003] Sheep feed troughs are containers used to hold the feed needed by sheep and are basic equipment to meet the daily dietary needs of sheep. On the one hand, they provide sheep with a fixed feeding place, making it convenient for them to eat; on the other hand, a well-designed feed trough can ensure the hygiene of feed storage, reduce feed contamination and waste, and lower breeding costs.

[0004] Mobile feed troughs are more flexible and are mostly made of metal or plastic. Farmers can move them to different breeding areas according to their actual needs, making it easier to adjust the feeding position of the sheep.

[0005] In existing trough feeding, feed is placed uniformly in the trough. Different types of feed are mixed together, which may cause some physical or chemical changes, affecting the quality and palatability of the feed. Furthermore, when different types of feed are mixed together, sheep may only eat a portion of it due to pickiness, pushing the undesirable parts out of the trough, resulting in feed waste. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a partitioned sheep farm feed trough, which aims to solve the problems in the existing feed troughs where feed is placed uniformly in the feed trough and different types of feed are mixed together. This may cause some physical or chemical changes, affecting the quality and palatability of the feed. Furthermore, when different types of feed are mixed together, sheep may be picky eaters and only eat a portion of it, pushing the undesirable parts out of the feed trough, resulting in feed waste.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a partitioned sheep farm feed trough, comprising a feed trough body, a dovetail groove at the top of the feed trough body, semicircular grooves at the intersections of the dovetail groove and the feed trough body on both sides, dovetail blocks engaging with the surfaces of the dovetail groove and the semicircular grooves, the surface of the dovetail blocks being connected to the bottom of the horizontal end of the partition groove, the surface of the partition groove being sleeved on the inner wall of the feed trough body, the top horizontal end surface of the feed trough body being threadedly connected to the top of a support frame by bolts, a rotating groove being formed on the bottom surface of the support frame, a rotating shaft being connected to the rotating groove surface and an extension rod being rotatably connected, an adjusting block being connected to the surface of the extension rod, a limiting rod being engaging with the surface of the adjusting block, and a fixing block being connected to the bottom surface of the support frame.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the partitioned sheep farm feed trough of this utility model, the dovetail block is symmetrically bonded with semi-circular rubber protrusions, the shape and size of which are adapted to the semi-circular groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the partitioned sheep farm feed trough of this utility model, the four sets of dovetail troughs and semi-circular troughs are symmetrically opened on the top surface of the feed trough body.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the partitioned sheep farm feed trough of this utility model, two sets of dovetail blocks are symmetrically distributed on the bottom surface of the transverse end of the partition trough.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the partitioned sheep farm feed trough of this utility model, a circular through groove is longitudinally opened on one side of the extension rod, the shape and size of which are adapted to the rotating shaft of the rotating trough surface.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the partitioned sheep farm feed trough of this utility model, the adjustment block and the fixing block have circular through grooves on their surfaces, and their shape and size are adapted to the limiting rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] By engaging the dovetail block and the partition groove fixed to the feed trough body, the space inside the feed trough body is divided, making it convenient to separate different types of feed and avoid mixing different feeds together, which would affect their quality and palatability. At the same time, it can also avoid the situation where sheep eat feed they do not like, which would cause feed waste.

[0015] In addition, by using the extendable rod at the bottom of the support frame, the stability of the support frame can be increased by increasing the contact area with the ground when moving and placing the feed trough. This avoids safety hazards and feed waste caused by the unstable support causing the trough to tip over when the sheep are eating. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a partitioned sheep farm feed trough, comprising a feed trough body 1, a dovetail groove 2 at the top of the feed trough body 1, semicircular grooves 3 at the intersections of the dovetail groove 2 and the feed trough body 1 on both sides, dovetail blocks 4 engaging with the surfaces of the dovetail groove 2 and the semicircular grooves 3, the surface of the dovetail blocks 4 being connected to the bottom of the horizontal end of the partition groove 5, the surface of the partition groove 5 being sleeved on the inner wall of the feed trough body 1, the top horizontal end of the feed trough body 1 being threadedly connected to the top of the support frame 7 by bolts 6, a rotating groove 8 being provided on the bottom surface of the support frame 7, a rotating shaft being connected to the surface of the rotating groove 8 and an extension rod 9 being rotatably connected, an adjusting block 10 being connected to the surface of the extension rod 9, a limiting rod 11 being engaging with the surface of the adjusting block 10, and a fixing block 12 being connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 7.

[0026] Preferably, a semi-circular rubber protrusion is symmetrically bonded to the surface of the dovetail block 4, and its shape and size are adapted to the semi-circular groove 3.

[0027] In practical use, the dovetail blocks 4 at the bottom of the four sets of dividing grooves 5 are sequentially engaged and fixed onto the dovetail grooves 2 and the semicircular grooves 3, thereby dividing the space inside the feed trough body 1 into four parts. In addition, a layer of high friction coefficient silicone pad is pasted on the contact surface between the dovetail blocks 4 and the dovetail grooves 2 and the semicircular grooves 3. The elasticity of the silicone fills the gaps, increasing the friction after engagement and reducing displacement caused by sheep butting.

[0028] Preferably, four sets of dovetail grooves 2 and semicircular grooves 3 are symmetrically opened on the top surface of the feed trough body 1.

[0029] In practical use, the dovetail grooves 2 and semicircular grooves 3, which are equally spaced on the top of the feed trough body 1, are used to engage and fix the dovetail block 4 connected to the bottom of the dividing groove 5, thereby dividing the space at the top of the feed trough body 1.

[0030] Preferably, two sets of dovetail blocks 4 are symmetrically distributed on the bottom surface of the transverse end of the partition groove 5.

[0031] In practical use, you can pull up the handle at the top of the dividing groove 5 to disengage the dovetail block 4 that is engaged with the dovetail groove 2 and the semi-circular groove 3, and then disassemble the dividing groove 5 at the top of the feed trough body 1 in sequence for easy cleaning.

[0032] Preferably, a circular through groove is longitudinally opened on one side of the extension rod 9, and its shape and size are adapted to the rotating shaft on the surface of the rotating groove 8.

[0033] In practical use, the part of the extension rod 9 that is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft on the surface of the rotating groove 8 is rotated outward to pull out the two sets of extension rods 9 stored at the bottom of the support frame 7. In actual use, a metal bushing is fitted at the rotating shaft between the extension rod 9 and the rotating groove 8 to reduce the direct friction between the rotating shaft and the rod body.

[0034] Preferably, the surfaces of the adjusting block 10 and the fixing block 12 are provided with circular through grooves, the shape and size of which are adapted to the limiting rod 11.

[0035] In practical use, the limiting rod 11 engages with the adjusting block 10 on the surface of the extension rod 9 and the fixing block 12 on the support frame 7 parallel to one side of it to fix the position of the two sets of extension rods 9 after extension. The limiting rod 11 in this design is a silicone + hard plastic core structure, which can enhance its rigidity and ensure that it is not easily deformed when engaged.

[0036] Working principle: When feeding sheep using the feed trough body 1, the dovetail blocks 4 at the bottom of the four sets of dividing troughs 5 are sequentially locked onto the dovetail trough 2 and the semi-circular trough 3, thereby dividing the space inside the feed trough body 1 into four parts. This allows for the classification and feeding of different types of feed according to the different growth stages and physiological states of the sheep, avoiding mixing different types of feed together and affecting quality and palatability. In addition, when the sheep are eating, it can prevent them from accidentally eating feed they do not like, which would cause them to push the unwanted parts out of the feed trough and waste feed.

[0037] After the feed is added, the limiting rod 11, which engages with the adjusting blocks 10 on both sides, can be pulled out. The support frame 7 has symmetrical rotating grooves 8 on both sides of its bottom. One end of the extension rod 9 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 8 via a pivot, thereby pulling out the two sets of extension rods 9 stored at the bottom of the support frame 7. The limiting rod 11 engages with the adjusting blocks 10 on the surface of the extension rods 9 and with the fixing blocks 12 parallel to the adjusting blocks 10 and located on the support frame 7, thus fixing the position of the two sets of extension rods 9 after extension. The engagement of the extended extension rods 9 increases the stability of the support frame 7. The increased contact area with the ground makes the support frame 7 more stable in supporting the feed trough body 1 at the top, preventing it from tipping over during the sheep's feeding process, which could cause injury to the sheep and waste feed. After feeding, the above operation can be repeated: remove the limiting rod 11 that is engaged with the surface of the adjusting block 10 and the fixing block 12, rotate and retract the extension rod 9 into the rotating groove 8 at the bottom of the support frame 7, and use the limiting rod 11 to engage with the adjusting block 10 on the surface of the two extension rods 9 to fix the position of the retracted extension rod 9.

[0038] Then, pull up the handle at the top of the dividing groove 5 to disengage the dovetail block 4 that is engaged with the dovetail groove 2 and the semi-circular groove 3. Then, disassemble the dividing groove 5 at the top of the feed trough body 1 in sequence for easy cleaning. In addition, unscrew the bolt 6 that is threaded between the feed trough body 1 and the support frame 7 to disassemble the feed trough body 1 and the support frame 7. Replace the support frame 7 with a suitable size according to the height of the sheep being fed. You can also replace the old feed trough body 1. In addition, apply solid grease to the screw holes at the top of the feed trough body 1 and the support frame 7 to reduce wear on the screw holes during repeated disassembly. At the same time, install a plastic protective cap on the head of the bolt 6 to prevent feed residue from entering the screw hole.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
