Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hay rack technology, and in particular to a hay rack that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] In the livestock farming sector, feed racks, as core equipment for carrying and supplying livestock feed, are widely used in large-scale farming of herbivorous livestock such as cattle and sheep. Their main functions are to achieve orderly storage of feed, preventing it from scattering and causing waste, while also providing convenient feeding passages for livestock, ensuring the efficiency of the farming process.

[0003] Existing hay racks mainly rely on manual cleaning. Operators need to use tools such as high-pressure water guns and brushes to clean each part of the hay rack one by one. This method increases the labor intensity of operators and is time-consuming. Therefore, we have proposed a hay rack that is easy to clean. Utility Model Content

When a component is considered "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is considered "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may have a component in between. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0018] Example 1 like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a hay rack that is easy to clean, including a hay frame 1. Drainage outlets 10 are provided on both the left and right ends of the hay frame 1. An insertion port 9 is provided on the top surface of the drainage outlet 10, and a baffle plate 3 is inserted into the insertion port 9. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the hay frame 1. A limit frame 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end surface of the hay frame 1. A motor cover 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the limit frame 5. A servo motor is fixedly connected inside the motor cover 7. A threaded rod 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, and the threaded rod 6 passes through one end of the limit frame 5 and... The threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected to the through part, and the threaded rod 6 is threadedly fitted with a threaded slider 8. The inside of the hay frame 1 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 4. The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a curved plate 41 fixedly connected to the threaded slider 8. A water spraying component 42 is provided on the top of the curved plate 41. A disassembly groove 43 is opened on the bottom surface of the curved plate 41. A rod 44 is inserted into the disassembly groove 43. A hay frame U-shaped brush plate 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rod 44. A slot 47 is opened on the top left side of the rod 44. A positioning component 46 is provided inside one end of the curved plate 41.

[0019] Specifically, during use, the baffle plate 3 prevents hay from leaking out through the drain port 10. When cleaning the hay frame 1, the baffle plate 3 can be pulled out through the insertion port 9, and then the water hose can be fixedly connected to the water spray assembly 42. The servo motor drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate, causing the threaded slider 8 to move the curved plate 41, thus moving the water spray assembly 42 and the hay frame U-shaped brush plate 45 along the inner wall of the hay frame 1, automatically cleaning the inner wall. The wastewater from the cleaning is discharged through the drain port 10. Subsequently, the insertion rod 44 can be disassembled from the disassembly slot 43 using the positioning assembly 46, allowing for the replacement of the long-used hay frame U-shaped brush plate 45, preventing damage to the bristles of the long-used hay frame U-shaped brush plate 45 and ensuring effective cleaning.

[0020] In this embodiment, the water spray assembly 42 includes a collecting pipe 422 fixedly connected to the top surface of the curved plate 41. A connecting pipe 423 communicating with the interior of the collecting pipe 422 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the collecting pipe 422. Hollow spray plates 421 communicating with the interior of the collecting pipe 422 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the collecting pipe 422. A plurality of high-pressure nozzles 424 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the hollow spray plate 421.

[0021] Specifically, the connecting pipe 423 can be fixedly connected to the water supply hose, allowing water to enter the collection pipe 422, then enter the two hollow spray plates 421 through the collection pipe 422, and finally spray out through the high-pressure nozzle 424 to rinse the inside of the hay frame 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the positioning component 46 includes a movable groove 464 formed inside the curved plate 41. One end of the movable groove 464 is connected to the disassembly groove 43. An insert plate 465 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 464. The insert plate 465 is inserted into the slot 47. A pull rod 462 is fixedly connected to one side of the insert plate 465. The pull rod 462 passes through one end of the curved plate 41 and is slidably connected to the through part. A pull ring 461 is fixedly connected to one end face of the pull rod 462. A spring 463 is sleeved on the surface of the pull rod 462. The two ends of the spring 463 are fixedly connected to one end face of the movable groove 464 and one side face of the insert plate 465, respectively.

[0023] Specifically, the pull ring 461 can pull the pull rod 462, which allows the insert plate 465 to separate from the slot 47, releasing the restriction on the insert rod 44, thus enabling the removal and replacement of the hay frame U-shaped brush plate 45. During installation, by pulling the pull ring 461 as described above, the insert plate 465 slides into the moving slot 464, preventing interference with the insertion rod 44's insertion into the disassembly slot 43. At this time, the spring 463 is in a compressed state. Then, the insert rod 44 is inserted into the disassembly slot 43, and the pull ring 461 is released. Under the restoring force of the spring 463, the insert plate 465 is inserted into the slot 47, thereby completing the installation of the hay frame U-shaped brush plate 45.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
