Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chicken farming technology, and in particular relates to an external feeding trough for chicken farmers. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor chicken farming (also known as free-range or ecological chicken farming) is a farming model that differs from indoor cage farming and intensive house farming. Its core is to allow chickens to move freely and feed themselves in a natural environment, thus having characteristics that are completely different from closed farming.

[0003] Traditional outdoor feeders are mostly uncovered, leaving the feed exposed regardless of whether the chickens are eating. Rainwater and dew can seep directly into the open feeders, causing the feed to become damp and moldy. In addition, when the wind is strong, the feed in the open feeders can be blown away, resulting in waste. Furthermore, wild birds nearby may come to steal the feed. Therefore, there is a need for an outdoor feeder for chicken farmers that can control the opening and closing of the feeder through a linkage structure, thus providing some protection for the feed when the chickens are not eating. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an outdoor feeding trough for chicken farmers, which can be controlled to open and close via a linkage structure, thereby providing a certain degree of protection for the feed when the chickens are not eating, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: An outdoor feeding trough for chicken farmers includes a feeding trough: the left and right sides of the feeding trough are rotatably connected to connecting rod 1 via rotating shafts, the left and right sides of the feeding trough are rotatably connected to connecting rod 2 via rotating shafts, the surface of connecting rod 1 is rotatably connected to connecting rod 3 via rotating shafts, connecting rod 3 and connecting rod 2 are rotatably connected via rotating shafts, a protective cover plate is fixedly connected between the two connecting rod 1s, a pedal is fixedly connected between the two connecting rod 2s, an adjustable baffle is provided on the front of the feed outlet of the feeding trough, a fixing strip is fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding trough, three limiting slide rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing strip, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting slide rod, the adjustable baffle is located between the feeding trough and the limiting plate, the adjustable baffle is located on the back of the limiting slide rod, a slider is provided between the fixing strip and the limiting plate, the slider is fixedly connected to the adjustable baffle, the limiting slide rod passes through the slider and is slidably connected to the slider, and a cover is installed on the top of the feeding trough.

[0006] Preferably, the front side of the slider has a hole that extends into the inner cavity of the slider through hole.

[0007] Preferably, a threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider, and a fastening bolt is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the fastening bolt passes through the threaded sleeve and the hole, and one end of the fastening bolt contacts one of the limiting slide bars.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the lid.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. This utility model opens the feed trough's outlet by moving an adjustable baffle upwards, allowing feed to flow from the outlet to the feeding area. When the feed in the feeding area is at an appropriate level, the slider is pushed downwards to cover the feed trough's outlet with the adjustable baffle. When a chicken walks onto the pedal, its weight causes the pedal to tilt downwards, causing the second connecting rod to rotate counterclockwise through the third connecting rod, thus lifting the protective cover upwards. At this time, the chicken can eat the feed. When the chicken leaves the pedal, the protective cover automatically falls down under gravity, blocking the food in the feeding area. This achieves the purpose of controlling the opening and closing of the feed trough through the connecting rod structure, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the feed when the chicken is not eating.

[0012] 2. This utility model uses a combination of holes, threaded sleeves, and fastening bolts. The fastening bolt is inserted into the threaded sleeve and tightened so that one end of the fastening bolt passes through the hole, causing one end of the hole to abut against the limiting slide rod. The fastening bolt is then tightened so that one end of the fastening bolt applies friction to the limiting slide rod, thereby locking the limiting slide rod. The size of the feeding trough outlet can then be controlled through the locking structure. Attached Figure Description

[0019] In the following description, embodiments of the external feeding trough for chicken farmers according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Figure 1-5 This invention illustrates an embodiment of an outdoor feeding trough for chicken farming, comprising a feeding trough 1. Connecting rods 1 and 2 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the feeding trough 1 via pivots. Connecting rods 2 and 3 are also rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the feeding trough 1 via pivots. Connecting rods 3 and 4 are rotatably connected to the surface of connecting rods 1 and 2 via pivots. A protective cover 5 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 1 and 2. A foot pedal 6 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 2 and 3. An adjustable baffle 7 is provided on the front of the feed outlet of the feeding trough 1. A fixing strip 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding trough 1. Three limiting slide rods 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing strip 8. A limiting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting slide rods 9. The adjustable baffle 7 is located between the feeding trough 1 and the limiting plate 14, and is located on the back of the limiting slide rods 9. A slider 10 is provided between the fixing strip 8 and the limiting plate 14. A threaded sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 10. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 12 is threaded... A fastening bolt 13 is connected by a threaded sleeve 12 and a hole 11. Through the cooperation of the hole 11, the threaded sleeve 12, and the fastening bolt 13, the fastening bolt 13 is inserted into the threaded sleeve 12. The fastening bolt 13 is then tightened so that one end of the fastening bolt 13 passes through the hole 11, causing one end of the hole 11 to abut against the limiting slide rod 9. Tightening the fastening bolt 13 further applies friction to the limiting slide rod 9, causing the fastening bolt 13 to... 3. The limiting slide rod 9 is locked, and the size of the feed trough 1 outlet can be controlled by the locking structure. One end of the fastening bolt 13 is in contact with one of the limiting slide rods 9. The front of the slider 10 has a hole 11, which extends into the inner cavity of the through hole of the slider 10. The slider 10 is fixedly connected to the adjustable baffle 7. The limiting slide rod 9 passes through the slider 10 and is slidably connected to the slider 10. A cover 15 is installed on the top of the feed trough 1, and a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the cover 15.

[0021] Working Principle: When using this invention, the user opens the cover 15 on the feeding trough 1, pours an appropriate amount of feed into the feeding trough 1, and then removes the fastening bolt 13 from the threaded sleeve 12. At this time, the user pushes the slider 10 upward, causing the slider 10 to slide upward on the surface of the limiting slide rod 9. This causes the slider 10 to move the adjustable baffle 7 fixedly connected to its back side upward, thereby opening the outlet of the feeding trough 1. This allows the feed in the feeding trough 1 to flow from the outlet through gravity and inertia to the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1. To prevent excessive feed in the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1 from causing waste, when the feed in the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1 is at an appropriate amount, the user pushes the slider 10 downward, causing the slider 10 to move the adjustable baffle 7. The plate 7 moves downward, causing the adjustable baffle 7 to cover the feed outlet of the feeding trough 1. When the chicken walks onto the pedal 6, the chicken's weight exerts downward pressure on the pedal 6, causing the pedal 6 to tilt downward through the action of the connecting rod 2 3 that rotates on both sides of the feeding trough 1. This causes the connecting rod 2 3 to rotate counterclockwise through the action of the connecting rod 3 4, which in turn causes the connecting rod 2 to lift the protective cover 5 that is fixedly connected to its surface. At this time, the chicken can eat the feed in the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1. When the chicken leaves the pedal 6, the protective cover 5 automatically falls down under the action of gravity, blocking the food in the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1. This achieves the purpose of controlling the opening and closing of the feeding trough through the connecting rod structure, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the feed when the chicken is not eating.

[0022] In summary: This chicken farm uses an outdoor feeding trough. By moving the adjustable baffle 7 upwards, the feed outlet of the feeding trough 1 is opened, allowing feed to flow from the outlet to the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1. When there is an appropriate amount of feed in the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1, the slider 10 is pushed downwards, causing the adjustable baffle 7 to cover the feed outlet of the feeding trough 1. When a chicken walks onto the pedal 6, the weight of the chicken causes the pedal 6 to tilt downwards, causing the connecting rod 2 3 to rotate counterclockwise through the connecting rod 3 4, thereby raising the protective cover 5 upwards. At this time, the chicken can eat the feed. When the chicken leaves the pedal 6, the protective cover 5 automatically falls down under the action of gravity, blocking the food in the feeding area of ​​the feeding trough 1. This achieves the purpose of controlling the opening and closing of the feeding trough through the connecting rod structure, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the feed when the chicken is not eating.
