Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock feeding technology, and in particular to a spill-proof and economical feed trough for livestock feeding. Background Technology

[0002] Livestock feed troughs are feed containers and feeding devices specifically designed for cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and other livestock. Their core function is to centrally place feed, making it convenient for livestock to eat, while reducing feed waste and maintaining a clean feeding environment. They are widely used in large-scale farms and family farms. The size, shape, and material of the feed trough are designed specifically for different types of livestock and feeding methods. Its main structure includes the trough body, feed inlet, guardrails and sidewalls, base, and cleaning mechanism.

[0003] Traditional feed troughs, especially the simple models used in small and medium-sized farms or households, are often designed primarily to hold feed, neglecting the impact of natural feeding behaviors such as rooting, pecking, and scratching on feed stability. Therefore, during feeding and animal consumption, a large amount of edible feed spills outside the trough. This contaminated feed becomes unusable, resulting in waste and increased feeding costs. Furthermore, cleaning up spilled feed requires significant manpower and resources. Under current technological conditions, a common solution to these problems is to optimize and improve the shape of the trough, specifically by altering the edges and inner walls of the feeding opening to reduce spillage and waste. However, in practice, this solution only reduces spillage and waste to a limited extent, and it fails to clean feed particles remaining on the inner wall surface. Feed in these areas remains inaccessible to livestock, and waste persists. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a spill-proof and economical feed trough for livestock feeding, aiming to improve the existing technology which can only reduce spillage and waste to a limited extent, and lacks cleaning of feed particles remaining on the inner wall surface, so that the feed in this location cannot be effectively eaten by livestock, and waste still exists.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a spill-proof and economical feed trough for livestock feeding, comprising a trough body, an anti-spillage mechanism installed on the bottom front side of the trough body, the function of the anti-spillage mechanism being to prevent feed spillage, a stirring mechanism installed on both the interior and the left side of the outer wall of the trough body, the function of the stirring mechanism being to promote thorough mixing of feed particles, the anti-spillage mechanism including a front baffle, the front baffle being fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the trough body, a rotating frame being fixedly connected to both the left and right sections of the front baffle, a scraping component installed on the front side of the outer wall of the front baffle, and a telescopic component installed on the top of the scraping component.

[0011] The telescopic assembly includes a lead screw, which is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of two rotating frames. The lead screw is fixedly connected to the middle of the driven gear. Two connecting posts are threadedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the lead screw. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the front side of the outer wall of each of the two connecting posts. The front ends of the two connecting rods are rotatably connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the scraper.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a spill-proof and economical feed trough for livestock feeding, including a trough body 1, an anti-spillage mechanism 2 installed on the bottom front side of the trough body 1, the function of the anti-spillage mechanism 2 is to prevent feed spillage, and a stirring mechanism 3 is installed on the inside and the left side of the outer wall of the trough body 1, the function of the stirring mechanism 3 is to promote the full mixing of feed particles.

[0032] The anti-spillage mechanism 2 includes a front baffle 201, which is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the tank 1. Rotating frames 202 are fixedly connected to the left and right sections of the front baffle 201. A scraping component 203 is installed on the front side of the outer wall of the front baffle 201, and a telescopic component 205 is installed on the top of the scraping component 203.

[0033] The scraping assembly 203 includes an extension plate 2031, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the front outer wall of the front baffle 201. A scraper 2032 is slidably connected to the front top wall of the extension plate 2031, and a drive assembly 204 is installed at the left end of the extension plate 2031.

[0034] The drive assembly 204 includes a motor 2041, which is mounted on the left side of the outer wall of the rotating frame 202. The output end of the motor 2041 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 2042, and the rear side of the drive gear 2042 is meshed with a driven gear 2043.

[0035] The telescopic assembly 205 includes a lead screw 2051, which is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the two rotating frames 202. The lead screw 2051 is fixedly connected to the middle of the driven gear 2043. Two connecting posts 2052 are threadedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the lead screw 2051. A connecting rod 2053 is rotatably connected to the front side of the outer wall of the two connecting posts 2052. The front ends of the two connecting rods 2053 are rotatably connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the scraper 2032.

[0036] Specifically, the extended plate 2031 is rotated on the rotating shaft of the front baffle 201 until the driven gear 2043 at the bottom of the extended plate 2031 is fully engaged with the driving gear 2042 fixed on the baffle. The extended plate 2031 extends outward from the inside of the front baffle 201 to a set position. When the feed in the trough is overfilled and easily overflows from the edge, or when livestock push the feed while eating, causing it to spill, the surface of the extended plate 2031 can block the feed particles spilled from the inside of the front baffle 201, causing them to fall back into the trough and avoid falling to the ground and causing waste. When a large number of feed particles adhere to the surface of the extended plate 2031, affecting its blocking effect and preventing its normal operation, the motor 2041 is started. The output shaft of the motor 2041 rotates, driving the driving gear 2042 to rotate. The driving gear 2042 and the driven gear 2042 then engage. The meshing transmission of wheel 2043 drives the driven gear 2043 to rotate. The center of the driven gear 2043 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 2051, causing the lead screw 2051 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 2051 causes the connecting column 2052 sleeved on it to move horizontally along the axial direction on the lead screw 2051. The connecting shafts at both ends of the connecting column 2052 change the angle between the connecting rod 2053 and the lead screw 2051. Because the other end of the connecting rod 2053 is connected to the back of the scraper 2032, and the edge of the scraper 2032 is in contact with the surface of the extension plate 2031, it can slide on the extension plate 2031. Therefore, as the angles of the two connecting rods 2053 alternate, the scraper 2032 will move back and forth repeatedly on the surface of the extension plate 2031, thereby thoroughly scraping off the feed particles remaining on the extension plate 2031.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The stirring mechanism 3 includes a second motor 301, which is installed on the left side of the outer wall of the tank 1. The output end of the second motor 301 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 302. The top right side of the first bevel gear 302 is meshed with a second bevel gear 306, and the top of the second bevel gear 306 is meshed with a reversing component 303.

[0038] The reversing assembly 303 includes a rotating gear 3031, a rotating gear 3032 meshing with the top of the rotating gear 3031, a rotating shaft 305 fixedly connected to the middle of both the rotating gear 3031 and the rotating gear 3032, and stirring blades 304 fixedly connected to the outer walls of both rotating shafts 305.

[0039] Specifically, when feeding is poured into the tank 1 through the feed inlet, some feeds need to be mixed with other types of feed in a certain proportion to achieve the best feeding effect. At this time, motor 2 301 is started. The output shaft of motor 2 301 rotates, driving the connected bevel gear 1 302 to rotate. Bevel gear 1 302 meshes with bevel gear 2 306, driving bevel gear 2 306 to rotate synchronously. Then, the axle of bevel gear 2 306 drives rotating gear 1 3031 to rotate. Because the teeth of rotating gear 1 3031 and rotating gear 2 3032 mesh with each other, they rotate under the action of gear meshing principle. Gear 1 3031 and rotating gear 2 3032 begin to rotate in opposite directions. Rotating gear 1 3031 and rotating gear 2 3032 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding rotating shaft 305 and drive the rotating shaft 305 connected to them to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. At this time, the stirring blade 304 fixed on the rotating shaft 305 begins to rotate in opposite directions under the drive of the two rotating shafts 305. The blade structure of the stirring blade 304 stirs the feed particles in the upper and lower parts of the tank 1 in opposite directions, so that different types of feed are mixed together to form convection during stirring, ensuring that all types of feed are fully mixed.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A motor bracket 2 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the left outer wall of the trough 1. The top wall of the motor bracket 2 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 2 301. A motor bracket 1 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the left outer wall of the rotating frame 202. The top wall of the motor bracket 1 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 1 2041. Sliding grooves 5 are provided at the top left and right ends of the protruding plate 2031. A connecting groove 7 is provided in the middle of the front baffle 201.

[0041] Specifically, motor bracket 2 4 and motor bracket 1 6 support motor 1 2041 and motor 2 301 respectively, maintaining their stable operation. The chute 5 is the track for the scraper 2032 to move, ensuring that it does not deviate from the predetermined position. The connecting trough 7 connects the trough 1 and the anti-spill mechanism 2, allowing the feed particles inside the two to communicate.

[0042] Working principle: The extended plate 2031 is rotated on the front baffle 201 until the driven gear 2043 meshes with the driving gear 2042. The extended plate 2031 extends from the front baffle 201. When the feed in the trough is too full and prone to overflow, or when livestock eat and cause feed spillage, the extended plate 2031 can prevent feed particles spilled from the inside of the front baffle 201 from falling to the ground and causing waste. When a large amount of feed particles adhere to the extended plate 2031, preventing it from working properly, the motor 2041 is started, driving the driving gear 2042 and the driven gear 2043 to rotate. The driven gear 2043 drives the lead screw 2051 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 2051 causes the connecting column 2052 to rotate. 1. The horizontal movement changes the angle of the connecting rod 2053. Since the connecting rod 2053 is connected to the scraper 2032 and the scraper 2032 can slide on the extension plate 2031, as the angles of the two connecting rods 2053 change, the scraper 2032 will move repeatedly on the surface of the extension plate 2031, thereby scraping off the feed particles remaining on the extension plate 2031. This mechanism can prevent feed spillage while cleaning, ensuring the full utilization of feed. It solves the problem that the existing technology can only reduce spillage and waste to a limited extent, and lacks cleaning of feed particles remaining on the inner wall surface. The feed at this location still cannot be effectively eaten by livestock, and waste still exists.

[0043] When feeding is poured into the tank 1, some feeds need to be mixed with other types of feed to achieve the best feeding effect. At this time, the motor 301 is started, which drives the bevel gear 302 and the bevel gear 306 to rotate synchronously. The bevel gear 306 then drives the rotating gear 3031 to rotate. Since the rotating gear 3031 and the rotating gear 3032 are meshed with each other, under the action of the gear meshing principle, the rotating gear 3031 and the rotating gear 3032 start to rotate in opposite directions, and drive the shaft 305 connected to them to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. At this time, the stirring blade 304 starts to rotate in opposite directions under the drive of the two shafts 305, stirring the feed particles in the upper and lower parts of the tank 1 in opposite directions to form convection and ensure thorough mixing. This mechanism can assist in particle stirring while feeding, thus improving feeding efficiency.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
