Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed trough assembly technology, specifically a convenient and easy-to-fix feed trough for sheep farming. Background Technology

[0002] In sheep farming, feed troughs are an essential piece of equipment. Currently, sheep feed troughs are typically connected and fixed to a support frame using bolts.

[0003] However, this connection method has significant inconveniences in practical use. When the feed trough needs to be disassembled for cleaning or replacement, tools are required to remove the bolts, making the process cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, increasing the workload of farmers and reducing breeding efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a convenient and secure sheep feed trough that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient and easy-to-fix sheep feed trough, which has the advantage of easy assembly and disassembly.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a conveniently fixed sheep feed trough, comprising a support plate, with support frames fixedly connected to all four sides of the top of the support plate, and a top plate fixedly connected to the top of the support frames. The top of the top plate has several openings, evenly distributed in a ring on the top of the top plate. A feed trough body is mounted on the top of the top plate, and four evenly distributed mounting posts are fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed trough body in a ring. The bottom of each mounting post passes through the opening and extends to the bottom of the top plate. A locking groove is provided on the surface of each mounting post. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the support plate, and a locking frame is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft. The locking frame is correspondingly and cooperatively configured with the locking groove.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model employs a support frame and top plate on the top of a support plate. The top plate has annularly distributed openings, through which the mounting posts at the bottom of the feed trough body pass and engage with the locking frame, forming a convenient fixing structure. When it is necessary to fix the feed trough body, simply rotate the shaft to rotate the locking frame, causing the locking frame to engage with the locking slots on the mounting posts, thus quickly completing the installation. For disassembly, rotate the shaft in the opposite direction to release the lock, allowing the feed trough body to be easily removed. This design eliminates the traditional bolt connection method, enabling the feed trough to be assembled and disassembled without tools, greatly simplifying the operation process, saving time and effort for farmers, effectively reducing workload, and significantly improving the efficiency of feed trough maintenance during the farming process.

[0007] 2. This utility model forms a worm gear transmission mechanism by setting a worm wheel on the surface of a rotating shaft and engaging it with a worm. The right end of the worm is connected to a handle. When the handle is rotated, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft and locking frame to rotate, thereby locking or unlocking the feed trough body. The worm gear transmission has the characteristics of compact structure, smooth transmission, and good self-locking performance. Moreover, the structure is stable after locking and is not prone to loosening. This transmission method not only makes operation more labor-saving and convenient, but also ensures that the feed trough remains reliably fixed during use, meeting the needs of frequent disassembly and assembly and stable use in aquaculture environments.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the sheep feed trough in this embodiment includes a support plate 1. Support frames 2 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the top of the support plate 1. A top plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frames 2. The top of the top plate 3 has several openings 4, evenly distributed in a ring on the top of the top plate 3. A feed trough body 5 is mounted on the top of the top plate 3. Four evenly distributed mounting posts 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed trough body 5. The bottom of the mounting posts 6 penetrates the openings 4 and extends to the bottom of the top plate 3. Locking grooves 7 are provided on the surface of the mounting posts 6. The top of the support plate 1 is rotatably connected to... A rotating shaft has a locking frame 8 fixedly connected to its top. The locking frame 8 is configured to cooperate with the locking groove 7. The surface of the locking frame 8 has four protrusions. The rotating shaft drives the locking frame 8 to rotate. When the protrusions on the surface of the locking frame 8 rotate into the locking groove 7 of the mounting column 6, the mounting column 6 is locked to prevent it from moving upward. Similarly, when the protrusions on the surface of the locking frame 8 rotate out of the locking groove 7, the locking of the mounting column 6 is released. The operator can then pull the feed trough body 5 upward until the mounting column 6 moves out of the opening 4, thereby completing the disassembly of the feed trough body 5.

[0017] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the rotating shaft is fitted with a worm gear 9. Support blocks 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support plate 1. A worm 11 is rotatably connected between the two support blocks 10. The worm 11 meshes with the worm gear 9. The right side of the worm 11 extends to the right side of the support block 10 and is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0018] In this embodiment, a worm gear 9 is installed on the surface of the rotating shaft, and a worm 11 meshes with the worm gear 9. The right end of the worm 11 is connected to a handle, forming a worm gear 9 and worm 11 transmission mechanism. When the handle is rotated, the worm 11 drives the worm gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft and the locking frame 8 to rotate, thereby locking or unlocking the feed trough body 5. The worm gear 9 and worm 11 transmission has the characteristics of compact structure, smooth transmission, and good self-locking performance. Moreover, the structure is stable after locking and is not prone to loosening. This transmission method not only makes operation more labor-saving and convenient, but also ensures that the feed trough remains reliably fixed during use, meeting the needs of frequent disassembly and assembly and stable use in the breeding environment.

[0019] refer to Figure 4 The support plate 1 has a bearing fixedly connected inside, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the support plate 1, while the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0020] In this embodiment, a bearing is fixedly connected inside the support plate 1. The inner ring of the bearing is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the outer ring is fixed to the support plate 1, providing stable support and flexible rotation conditions for the rotating shaft. The bearing effectively reduces the frictional resistance during shaft rotation, making the shaft rotate more smoothly and steadily, avoiding rotational jamming or component wear caused by excessive friction. At the same time, the supporting effect of the bearing enhances the stability of the rotating shaft, ensuring that the locking frame 8 maintains an accurate position during rotation, thereby ensuring the matching accuracy between the locking groove 7 and the locking frame 8, extending the service life of the entire fixing device, reducing equipment maintenance costs, and improving the reliability of the feed trough fixing structure.

[0021] refer to Figure 2 A mounting plate 12 is provided below the support plate 1, and mounting openings 13 are provided around the top of the mounting plate 12.

[0022] In this embodiment, an installation plate 12 is installed below the support plate 1. Installation openings 13 are provided around the top of the installation plate 12, facilitating the fixing of the entire feed trough device to the ground or other supporting structure of the breeding area using bolts 16 and other connecting components. This ensures a more secure connection between the device and the ground, allowing it to withstand the impact and shaking of the sheep while feeding, preventing displacement or tipping of the feed trough. This design enhances the overall stability of the device and is suitable for various breeding environments. Whether on a flat cement floor or relatively soft soil, the device can be firmly installed through the installation openings 13, providing a safe and reliable feeding environment for the sheep. It also allows breeders to easily adjust the installation position of the feed trough according to actual needs.

[0023] refer to Figure 2 Sleeves 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 12 around all four sides. Movable columns 15 are slidably connected inside the sleeves 14. The top of the movable columns 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1. The surface of the movable columns 15 is provided with slots. There are several slots. Bolts 16 are threaded inside the sleeves 14 and are inserted into the slots.

[0024] In this embodiment, the sleeves 14 around the top of the mounting plate 12 are slidably connected to the movable columns 15 at the bottom of the support plate 1. Multiple slots are provided on the surface of the movable columns 15, and the threaded bolts 16 inside the sleeves 14 are inserted into the slots, forming a height-adjustable support structure. When the height of the feed trough needs to be adjusted, simply loosen the bolts 16, slide the movable columns 15 up or down to the appropriate position, and then insert the bolts 16 into the corresponding slots to secure them. This design allows for flexible adjustment of the feed trough height according to different growth stages of the sheep or the specific needs of the breeding site, ensuring that the sheep can eat comfortably. It also facilitates operations such as adding feed and cleaning the trough for farmers, improving the applicability and practicality of the feed trough and meeting diverse breeding needs.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 A baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the front of the support plate 1, and the back of the baffle 21 is respectively attached to the front of the top plate 3 and the mounting plate 12.

[0026] In this embodiment, the baffle 21 fixedly connected to the front of the support plate 1 can block the sheep and prevent the sheep from damaging the components on the back of the baffle 21, thereby improving the service life of the device.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 Fixed columns 17 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of both sides of the top plate 3. A limit opening 18 is opened at the top of the fixed column 17. Limit rods 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed trough body 5. The bottom of the limit rods 19 passes through the limit opening 18 and extends to the bottom of the top plate 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, limiting openings 18 are created on the fixing posts 17 on both sides of the top plate 3, and the limiting rod 19 at the bottom of the feed trough body 5 is inserted into the limiting openings 18, forming a precise positioning structure. When installing the feed trough body 5, the cooperation between the limiting rod 19 and the limiting openings 18 guides the installation post 6 to accurately align with the opening 4, preventing offset or misalignment during installation and improving installation efficiency and accuracy. Simultaneously, after the limiting rod 19 is inserted into the limiting openings 18, it provides auxiliary support to the feed trough body 5 in the vertical direction. This, combined with the locking function of the locking frame 8, further enhances the stability of the feed trough body 5, preventing it from shaking or tilting during use, ensuring the feed trough remains stable when the sheep are feeding, and providing a reliable guarantee for the smooth operation of the livestock farming.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 The inner wall of the feed trough body 5 is smooth, and a drain valve 20 is connected to the right side of the feed trough body 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, the smooth inner wall of the feed trough body 5 reduces feed residue and adhesion, allowing feed to slide smoothly and facilitating cleaning by farmers. Residual feed can be removed with a simple rinse or wipe, saving cleaning time and effort. The drain valve 20 connected to the right side facilitates the rapid discharge of wastewater, debris, or leftover feed from the trough, preventing waste from accumulating and spoiling, reducing bacterial growth and odor, and maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed trough. This provides a healthy feeding environment for the sheep, reduces the risk of disease, and also reduces feed waste due to untimely cleaning, thus improving farming efficiency.

[0031] The first step in this invention is to secure the overall foundation of the device. The mounting plate 12 below the support plate 1 is placed at a predetermined position in the breeding site. Using the mounting openings 13 around the top of the mounting plate 12, suitable connectors are used to firmly fix the mounting plate 12 to the ground or other supporting structure, so that the entire device is reliably connected to the breeding environment, ensuring the stability of subsequent operations.

[0032] The top plate 3 has a ring-shaped, evenly distributed opening 4 for the mounting posts 6 to pass through. The feed trough body 5 is moved above the top plate 3, aligning the limiting rods 19 around the bottom of the feed trough body 5 with the limiting ports 18 on the front and rear sides of the fixing posts 17 on both sides of the top plate 3. The feed trough body 5 is slowly lowered, allowing the bottom of the limiting rods 19 to gradually pass through the limiting ports 18 and extend below the top plate 3. During this process, the limiting structure guides the feed trough body 5 to accurate alignment, preventing the mounting posts 6 from shifting from the openings 4. When the feed trough body 5 is lowered to the bottom of the mounting posts 6, passing through the openings 4 and extending below the top plate 3, the locking operation begins. A locking frame 8 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft rotatably connected to the top of the support plate 1. A worm gear 9 fitted on the surface of the rotating shaft meshes with a worm 11. The handle at the right end of the worm 11 is located on the right side of the support block 10. Rotating the handle clockwise causes the worm 11 to rotate, driving the worm gear 9 to rotate. The worm gear 9 drives the rotating shaft and the locking frame 8 to rotate synchronously. As the locking frame 8 rotates, the protrusion on its surface gradually aligns with the locking groove 7 on the surface of the mounting post 6. Continue rotating the handle until the protrusion is fully engaged in the locking groove 7. At this point, the locking frame 8 and the locking groove 7 fit together tightly, firmly fixing the mounting post 6 and ensuring that the feed trough body 5 is stably installed above the top plate 3. When cleaning or replacing the feed trough body 5 is required, first release the locking structure. Turn the handle counterclockwise, the worm gear 11 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the worm wheel 9 and the shaft to rotate, causing the protrusion on the surface of the locking frame 8 to gradually deviate from the locking groove 7. Continue turning the handle until the protrusion is completely out of the locking groove 7. At this point, the mounting post 6 is no longer limited by the locking frame 8, and the locking state is released. Then lift the feed trough body 5 upwards. Since the bottom of the limiting rod 19 has disengaged from the limiting port 18 of the fixed post 17, the feed trough body 5 can move freely. Slowly apply force to pull the feed trough body 5 upwards, causing the bottom of the mounting post 6 to gradually exit from the opening 4 below the top plate 3, until the mounting post 6 completely penetrates the opening 4 and detaches from the top plate 3. At this point, the feed trough body 5 separates from the entire support structure. The entire installation and disassembly process does not require complicated tools. Locking and unlocking are achieved through the worm gear 9 and worm 11 transmission mechanism. The limit structure ensures accurate installation alignment. The height adjustment structure can flexibly adapt to different breeding needs. The operation process is simple and efficient, which significantly improves the convenience and practicality of feed trough maintenance.
