Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a feeding trough for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, feed troughs are key containers used to hold feed for livestock to eat.

[0003] Currently, most feeding troughs used in livestock farms are either fixed or easily movable. Fixed feeding troughs are typically permanently installed on the walls (fences) or ground of the livestock pen by welding or bolting, making them sturdy and less likely to be overturned by livestock. Easily movable feeding troughs are placed directly on the floor of the livestock pen and can be adjusted in position as needed, offering greater flexibility.

[0004] However, whether it is a fixed or placed traditional feeding trough, livestock (such as goats) may drop or splash their feces into the trough during non-feeding times, and these contaminants can easily contaminate the feeding trough. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding trough for livestock farming, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that livestock (such as goats) may drop or splash their feces into the trough during non-feeding times, and these pollutants can easily cause the feeding trough to become contaminated.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A feeding trough for livestock farming includes a trough body hinged to a fence on one side. A locking assembly is installed between the trough body and the fence. When the opening plane of the trough body is parallel to the plane of the fence, the locking assembly can lock the trough body in that position.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a pull ring fixedly connected to the side of the groove away from the hinge point with the fence. A connecting rod is installed between the pull ring and the groove. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the groove, and the other end is rotatably connected to the pull ring. A hook is installed on the fence. When the opening plane of the groove is parallel to the plane of the fence, the hook can be engaged in the pull ring to achieve locking.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting seat is provided between the hook and the fence, with one side of the connecting seat fixedly connected to the fence and the other side rotatably connected to the hook.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the trough is provided with an inclined surface that slopes from the side away from the fence towards the hinge side, and the inclined surface is located on the side where the trough is hinged to the fence.

[0011] Furthermore, the trough has a strip-shaped notch extending along its length, and the strip-shaped notch is located on the side where the trough is hinged to the fence.

[0012] Furthermore, a first protrusion is fixedly connected to the fence, and a first through hole is opened on the first protrusion. A pin is inserted through the first through hole. A second protrusion is fixed on the side of the groove that is hinged to the fence. A second through hole is opened on the second protrusion. When the opening plane of the groove is perpendicular to the plane of the fence, the central axes of the first through hole and the second through hole are collinear. The pin can pass through the first through hole and the second through hole at the same time.

[0013] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the pin.

[0014] Furthermore, the end of the pin furthest from the handle is provided with an external thread, and a nut is threadedly connected to it.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This livestock feeding trough, by rotating around the hinge point between the trough and the fence, allows the opening plane of the trough to be parallel to the fence plane (i.e., in the retracted state). This allows leftover feed residue to be poured to one side for easy cleaning and reduces the probability of feces and other contaminants falling into the trough during non-feeding hours. Rotating the hooks and / or pull rings allows the hooks installed on the fence to engage with the pull rings installed on the trough, securing it in place. For cleaning, it can be directly rinsed with water, with wastewater flowing out under gravity. Compared to existing technologies, the trough, hinged to the fence, allows the opening plane to be parallel to the fence plane during non-feeding hours (i.e., in the retracted state), reducing the probability of traditional fixed or placed feeding troughs being contaminated by livestock feces during non-feeding hours. This further reduces the risk of cross-infection of diseases caused by contaminated feed consuming other healthy livestock. Furthermore, the retracted state of the trough's opening plane being parallel to the fence plane during non-feeding hours makes cleaning easier and less labor-intensive.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Furthermore, terms such as "identical" do not imply that components must be absolutely identical; minor differences are permissible. The term "perpendicular" simply means that the positional relationship between components is more perpendicular than "parallel," not that the structure must be perfectly perpendicular; a slight tilt is acceptable.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding trough for livestock breeding, including a trough body 1 hinged to a fence 16 on one side, and a locking component 2 installed between the trough body 1 and the fence 16. When the opening plane of the trough body 1 is parallel to the plane of the fence 16, the locking component 2 can lock the trough body 1 in that position.

[0034] The locking assembly 2 includes a pull ring 3 fixedly connected to the side of the groove 1 away from the hinge point with the fence 16. A connecting rod 4 is installed between the pull ring 3 and the groove 1. One end of the connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the groove 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the pull ring 3. A hook 5 is installed on the fence 16. When the opening plane of the groove 1 is parallel to the plane of the fence 16, the hook 5 can be engaged in the pull ring 3 to achieve locking.

[0035] A connecting seat 6 is provided between the hook 5 and the fence 16. One side of the connecting seat 6 is fixedly connected to the fence 16, and the other side is rotatably connected to the hook 5.

[0036] In this design: the trough 1 is generally rectangular in shape, with a semi-circular bottom and an open top. The opening of the trough 1 is rectangular. One long side of the open plane (the plane containing the opening of the trough 1) is hinged to the fence 16, allowing the trough 1 to rotate around the hinge point. Square reinforcing rods 17 are fixedly connected to the short sides of the open plane of the trough 1. When the open plane of the trough 1 is perpendicular to the plane of the fence 16 (i.e., horizontally placed in normal feeding mode), one end of the reinforcing rod 17 abuts against the side wall of the fence 16, keeping the open plane of the trough 1 perpendicular to the plane of the fence 16.

[0037] When the trough 1 is rotated until its opening plane is parallel to the plane of the fence 16 (i.e., in the retracted state), rotate the hook 5 and / or the pull ring 3 so that the hook 5 installed on the fence 16 can be engaged in the pull ring 3 installed on the trough 1 to fix the trough 1.

[0038] The pull ring 3 and the connecting rod 4 are rotatably connected, and the hook 5 and the connecting seat 6 are also rotatably connected. This allows the hook 5 to easily engage or disengage from the pull ring 3 even if there is slight misalignment or stress between the pull ring 3 and the hook 5, improving the fault tolerance and convenience of operation.

[0039] When feeding is needed:

[0040] Step 1: Rotate hook 5 and / or pull ring 3 to remove hook 5 from pull ring 3.

[0041] Step 2: Rotate the trough 1 around the hinge point between the trough 1 and the fence 16 so that the opening plane of the trough 1 is perpendicular to the plane of the fence 16 (i.e., placed horizontally, in normal feeding state).

[0042] Step 3: Pour feed into trough 1 for the livestock to eat.

[0043] When feeding is complete:

[0044] Step 1: Rotate the trough 1 around the hinge point between the trough 1 and the fence 16 so that the opening plane of the trough 1 is parallel to the plane of the fence 16 (i.e., the folded state). This allows the remaining feed residue in the trough to be poured to one side for easy cleaning and reduces the probability of feces and other pollutants falling into the trough 1 during non-feeding times.

[0045] Step 2: Rotate the hook 5 and / or pull ring 3 so that the hook 5 installed on the fence 16 can be engaged with the pull ring 3 installed on the tank 1 to fix the tank 1. During cleaning, it can be rinsed directly with water, and the wastewater can flow out smoothly.

[0046] Technical benefits: Compared to existing technologies, the trough 1 is hinged to the fence 16, allowing the opening plane of the trough 1 to be parallel to the plane of the fence 16 during non-feeding periods (i.e., in the retracted state). This reduces the probability of traditional fixed or placement feeding troughs being contaminated by livestock manure during non-feeding periods, further reducing the risk of cross-infection of diseases caused by contaminated feed being consumed by other healthy livestock. Furthermore, the parallel alignment of the opening plane of the trough 1 with the fence 16 during non-feeding periods (i.e., in the retracted state) makes cleaning easier and less labor-intensive.

[0047] In this embodiment: the bottom of the trough 1 is provided with an inclined surface 7 that slopes from the side away from the fence 16 toward the hinge side, and the inclined surface 7 is located on the side where the trough 1 is hinged to the fence 16.

[0048] In this scheme: a slope 7 is provided at the bottom of the trough 1, which is inclined from the side away from the fence 16 to the hinge side. The slope 7 is located on the side where the trough 1 is hinged to the fence 16.

[0049] When the opening plane of the trough 1 is parallel to the plane of the fence 16 (i.e., in the retracted state) during non-feeding periods, rinse the trough 1 with water. The water flow will carry dirt along the slope 7 and collect at the lower part of the hinge side. This helps to quickly and thoroughly drain the cleaning wastewater in the trough and avoid water accumulation. It also concentrates residual feed and dirt, making it easier to clean and reducing the difficulty and time of cleaning.

[0050] In this embodiment: a strip-shaped notch 8 extending along its length is provided on the trough 1, and the strip-shaped notch 8 is located on the side where the trough 1 is hinged to the fence 16.

[0051] In this scheme: a strip-shaped notch 8 extending along its length is provided on the trough 1, and the strip-shaped notch 8 is located on the side where the trough 1 is hinged to the fence 16.

[0052] When the opening plane of the trough 1 is parallel to the plane of the fence 16 during non-feeding time (i.e., in the retracted state), the sewage and debris that have gathered at the lower part of the slope 7 (i.e., the hinged side) can be directly discharged out of the trough 1 through this strip-shaped opening 8, which further facilitates the cleaning of the trough 1.

[0053] In this embodiment: a first protrusion 9 is fixedly connected to the fence 16, and a first through hole 10 is formed on the first protrusion 9. A pin 11 passes through the first through hole 10. A second protrusion 12 is fixed to the side of the groove 1 that is hinged to the fence 16. A second through hole 13 is formed on the second protrusion 12. When the opening plane of the groove 1 is perpendicular to the plane of the fence 16, the central axes of the first through hole 10 and the second through hole 13 are collinear, and the pin 11 can pass through both the first through hole 10 and the second through hole 13 simultaneously. A handle 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the pin 11. The end of the pin 11 away from the handle 14 has an external thread, and a nut 15 is threadedly connected to it.

[0054] In this design, by using the first protrusion 9, the second protrusion 12, the first through hole 10, the second through hole 13, and the pin 11, when the opening plane of the trough 1 is perpendicular to the plane of the fence 16 (i.e., horizontally placed, in normal feeding condition), the pin 11 is simultaneously passed through the first through hole 10 and the second through hole 13, thus fixing the opening plane of the trough 1 perpendicular to the plane of the fence 16 (i.e., horizontally placed, in normal feeding condition). This reduces the probability of livestock overturning the trough 1 during feeding.

[0055] By fixing a handle 14 to one end of the pin 11, it is easy to hold the pin 11 to insert or remove it into the first through hole 10 and the second through hole 13.

[0056] The pin 11 is provided with an external thread at the end away from the handle 14, and a nut 15 is threadedly connected to it. After the nut 15 is threadedly connected to the pin 11, the connection between the groove 1 and the fence 16 is further reinforced.

[0057] 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 this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
