Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of poultry farming technology, specifically relating to a feeding hopper for poultry farming. Background Technology
[0002] In the poultry farming industry, feed troughs are crucial pieces of equipment, and their performance and design directly affect the feeding efficiency of poultry and the cost of raising them. Traditional poultry feed troughs are mostly fixed in structure, typically with the feed trough directly installed in the farming area, and the position and angle of the feed trough cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual farming conditions.
[0003] In actual breeding, poultry feeding behavior has certain regularity. For example, in the early stage of feeding, poultry will concentrate on feeding in a certain area of the feed trough. As feeding continues, the amount of food in that area gradually decreases. However, the food in the top corner of the feed trough facing the poultry is difficult to be fully consumed due to the presence of dead corners. It may spoil due to prolonged lack of food consumption, resulting in waste. In order to solve the above problems, this application proposes a feed trough for poultry breeding. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding trough for poultry farming, which aims to solve the technical problem that dead corners exist in the existing poultry feeding troughs, resulting in feed waste and spoilage.
[0005] Technical solution
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feeding trough for poultry farming, including a frame and a feeding trough. The top of the frame has a horizontal end and an inclined end, with the inclined end of the frame arranged downwards. The feeding trough is set at the top of the frame and is used to hold feed for poultry to eat. The feeding trough can slide between the horizontal end and the inclined end at the top of the frame.
[0007] Preferably, the frame includes uprights and support arms. There are four uprights and a pair of support arms. The pair of support arms is horizontally fixed to the top of the four uprights. One end of the pair of support arms is inclined downwards. The feeding trough is assembled on the top of the pair of support arms.
[0008] Preferably, an upper connecting rod is fixedly connected between a pair of the support arms, and multiple upper connecting rods are provided.
[0009] Preferably, a lower connecting rod is fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the four columns.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the feeding trough is fixed with two sleeve blocks at both ends. The sleeve blocks are in an inverted U-shaped structure. The sleeve blocks are slidably sleeved with the support arm. The upper connecting rod is connected to the bottom of the support arm. The sleeve blocks and the upper connecting rod are staggered vertically.

[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention features a feed trough that slides between a horizontal and an inclined end of the frame. Feed is dispensed at the horizontal position, making operation more convenient and effectively reducing feed spillage and lowering breeding costs. Pushing the trough to the inclined position facilitates feeding for poultry, reduces dead zones, and ensures that feed is fully consumed, preventing waste. This sliding design also allows for easy removal and cleaning of the trough, enabling thorough cleaning and reducing bacterial and mold growth, thus protecting poultry health. Furthermore, the frame's structural design is rational. The combination of columns, support arms, upper connecting rods, and lower connecting rods ensures the stability and strength of the feed trough, adapting to different scales of breeding. The first and second stops effectively limit the trough's sliding range, improving safety. The push-pull handle design facilitates operation by breeders, improving work efficiency.

[0023] 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.
[0024] This embodiment provides a feeding hopper for poultry farming, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes the frame and the feeding trough 3.
[0025] In this embodiment, the frame includes four uprights 1 and a pair of support arms 2. The four uprights 1 are vertically arranged, and their bottom ends are fixedly connected by lower connecting rods 5, which enhances the stability of the frame. The pair of support arms 2 are horizontally fixed to the top of the four uprights 1, and one end of the pair of support arms 2 is inclined downward, thus forming a horizontal end and an inclined end at the top of the frame. Multiple upper connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected between the pair of support arms 2, further improving the overall strength of the frame.
[0026] Furthermore, the feeding trough 3 is located at the top of the frame and is used to hold feed for poultry. Inverted U-shaped sleeve blocks 9 are fixed to both ends of the bottom of the feeding trough 3. These sleeve blocks 9 are slidably fitted onto the support arm 2, allowing the feeding trough 3 to slide between the horizontal and inclined ends at the top of the frame. The upper connecting rod 4 is connected to the bottom of the support arm 2, and the sleeve blocks 9 and the upper connecting rod 4 are staggered vertically to avoid mutual interference.
[0027] In a further embodiment, a sleeve block 9 is arranged on one side of the bottom of the feeding trough 3, and a roller 10 is provided on the other side. The roller 10 is aligned with the support arm 2 and makes rolling contact with the upper surface of the support arm 2, so that the feeding trough 3 can slide more smoothly. A push-pull handle 8 is provided on the side wall of the feeding trough 3 facing the horizontal section of the support arm 2, so that the farmer can push or pull the feeding trough 3.
[0028] Furthermore, a first stop 6 is fixed to the top of the downward-sloping end of the support arm 2, and a second stop 7 is fixed to the top of the end of the support arm 2 away from the first stop 6. The first stop 6 and the second stop 7 can limit the sliding range of the feeding trough 3 and prevent the feeding trough 3 from sliding out of the support arm 2.
[0029] Working principle:
[0030] When feeding, the farmer first pulls the feed trough 3 to the horizontal end of the support arm 2 using the push-pull handle 8. At this point, the feed trough 3 is in a horizontal position, making it easy for the farmer to evenly distribute the feed. After feeding, the farmer pushes the push-pull handle 8, causing the feed trough 3 to slide along the support arm 2 towards the inclined end. During this sliding process, the sleeve 9 at the bottom of the feed trough 3 slides on the support arm 2, and the roller 10 rolls on the upper surface of the support arm 2, ensuring smooth sliding of the feed trough 3. When the feed trough 3 slides to the inclined end of the support arm 2, it stops sliding due to the obstruction of the first stop block 6. At this point, the feed trough 3 is in an inclined position, which is beneficial for poultry to eat, reduces dead zones in the feed trough 3, and ensures that the feed is fully consumed by the poultry, avoiding feed waste. After the poultry have finished eating, the farmer pulls the push-pull handle 8 again to return the feed trough 3 to the horizontal position, facilitating cleaning and the next feeding.
[0031] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0032] 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.
