Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry and veterinary technology, and more specifically, it relates to a feeding trough for animal husbandry and veterinary use that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] In modern livestock production, feeding troughs serve as essential infrastructure in the feeding process, and their cleanliness directly impacts the health and growth environment of livestock. Traditional livestock feeding troughs are often too simple and crude in design, only considering the basic function of holding feed while neglecting the convenience of subsequent cleaning and maintenance. During daily use, leftover feed easily accumulates and ferments in the feeding trough, breeding a large number of bacteria and pathogens. This not only contaminates newly fed feed but may also lead to livestock infections, seriously affecting breeding efficiency. Existing cleaning methods mostly rely on manual rinsing. Due to the lack of effective water flow control devices, excessive water flow during cleaning can easily lead to feed waste and environmental pollution, while insufficient water flow makes it difficult to thoroughly remove stubborn dirt, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning effects. This increases the labor intensity of the feeders and fails to guarantee the hygiene standards of the feeding environment.

[0003] In livestock disease prevention and control, regular disinfection and cleaning of feeding troughs is an important link in blocking the spread of diseases. Even if the existing feeding trough cleaning system is equipped with a simple rinsing device, it generally has the problem of limited water flow adjustment capability. The cleaning device usually adopts a fixed flow design, which cannot flexibly adjust the water flow parameters according to different types of dirt. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding trough for animal husbandry and veterinary use that is easy to clean, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feed trough for livestock and veterinary use that is easy to clean, comprising a support frame, an inclined plate fixedly provided on the inner side of the support frame, a drainage hole opened at the bottom end of the inclined plate, a trough body fixedly provided on the outer side of the drainage hole, a water supply pipe fixedly provided on the support frame, the water supply pipe being provided in multiple sets, each with an adjustment mechanism at one end, the adjustment mechanism comprising a connecting sleeve and an adjusting sleeve, the connecting sleeve being fixedly fixed to the top end of the water supply pipe, the adjusting sleeve being rotatably connected to the top end of the connecting sleeve, a screw threadedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting sleeve, a limiting rod fixedly provided at the bottom end of the screw, a push block fixedly provided at the bottom end of the limiting rod, a sealing plate fixedly provided inside the connecting sleeve, the push block being slidably connected to the sealing plate, a support plate fixedly provided at the bottom end of the connecting sleeve, a stop block slidably provided between the sealing plate and the support plate, the stop block being provided in multiple sets, and an outer connecting pipe rotatably connected to the top end of the adjusting sleeve.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting plate is fixedly provided on the inner side of the connecting sleeve, the limiting plate is slidably connected to the limiting rod, and the limiting rod is configured as a polygon, which effectively prevents the limiting rod from rotating during movement, improves transmission accuracy, and ensures the accuracy and stability of water flow regulation.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the outer side of the push block is provided with a ball bearing, and multiple sets of the ball bearing are provided, which reduces the friction between the push block and the stop block, making the adjustment operation easier and smoother, while extending the service life of the components and reducing wear.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that each of the multiple sets of push blocks has an arc-shaped groove on its inner side, and the multiple sets of arc-shaped grooves respectively abut against multiple sets of ball bearings to form an arc-shaped guide structure, so that the pushing force of the push block is more uniform and stable, avoiding the block jamming and ensuring the linear and precise control of water flow adjustment.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that guide blocks are fixedly provided on the top surface of each of the multiple sets of stop blocks, and guide grooves are provided on the bottom surface of the sealing plate. Multiple sets of guide grooves are provided and are slidably connected to multiple sets of guide blocks respectively, so as to ensure that the multiple sets of stop blocks move synchronously and parallelly, prevent skew and jamming, and improve the reliability and operation accuracy of the adjustment system.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a positioning sleeve is fixedly provided on the outer side of the adjusting sleeve, and a sliding hole is provided on the inner side of the positioning sleeve. Multiple sets of sliding holes are provided and each is slidably connected to a positioning block. A positioning groove is provided on the outer wall of the outer pipe. Multiple sets of positioning grooves are provided and each abuts against multiple sets of positioning blocks, thereby realizing the quick connection and locking of the outer pipe and the adjusting sleeve, preventing the connection from loosening due to the impact of high-pressure water flow, and improving the safety of equipment use.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the multiple sets of positioning blocks is connected to the inner side of the sliding hole and the bottom of the multiple sets of positioning blocks is set to be arc-shaped, so that the positioning blocks can automatically spring into the positioning groove to achieve locking. At the same time, the arc design facilitates the rotation, installation and disassembly of the outer pipe, improving the ease of operation.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom surface of each of the multiple sets of water supply pipes is connected to a diversion pipe, and the diversion pipes are configured in multiple sets and the bottom end of each set is fixedly connected to an annular pipe. The outer wall of each of the multiple sets of annular pipes is provided with a water outlet hole, and the water outlet hole is configured in multiple sets and distributed on the outer wall of the multiple sets of annular pipes, forming an all-round uniform spray water flow distribution system to ensure that the cleaning water flow can cover every corner of the feeding trough to achieve thorough cleaning without dead corners.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding trough for animal husbandry and veterinary use that is easy to clean, and has the following beneficial effects: 1. The ingenious design of the inclined plate and bottom drainage holes in the support frame allows feed to flow smoothly into the trough without any dead corners. At the same time, multiple sets of water supply pipes are set on the support frame, and the ring pipes and water outlets form an all-round spray coverage, ensuring that the cleaning water can reach every corner of the feeding trough for thorough cleaning. This effectively solves the problem of residual feed accumulation, fermentation and bacterial growth in traditional feeding troughs, and significantly improves the hygiene level and disease prevention and control capabilities of the livestock breeding environment.

[0014] 2. By rotating the connecting sleeve and adjusting sleeve and using the screw's threaded transmission system, precise adjustment of water flow rate and velocity is achieved. Operators only need to rotate the adjusting sleeve to drive the screw to push the limit rod and push block, thereby controlling the size of the flow space formed between the blocks. This allows the cleaning water intensity to be flexibly adjusted according to the degree of contamination, and the water efficiency to be optimized for different cleaning stages. This perfectly solves the technical problems of either excessive water consumption or incomplete cleaning caused by the limited water flow adjustment capacity in existing technologies.

[0015] 3. This device also incorporates several refined design elements to enhance system reliability and user experience, including an anti-rotation design for the polygonal limit rod and limit plate, a low-friction transmission structure for the ball bearings and arc groove, a precise guiding system for the guide block and guide groove, and an external pipe connection mechanism for the positioning block and positioning groove. These designs not only ensure the smooth and reliable operation and long-term stability of the adjustment mechanism, but also achieve uniform distribution of cleaning water flow through the rational layout of the diversion pipe and annular pipe. This allows the entire feeding trough cleaning system to adapt to various pollution conditions and disinfection requirements, significantly reducing the labor intensity of livestock workers, improving cleaning efficiency, and meeting the actual needs of modern large-scale livestock farming for efficient, energy-saving, and precise operation of equipment.
