Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of duck egg farming equipment, specifically a visual feeding trough with an externally mounted feed powder box at the end. Background Technology

[0002] In modern large-scale farming, duck egg production has gradually upgraded from free-range to cage-raising. Due to the unique feeding habits of ducks (they don't eat powdered feed), broken feed particles are often encountered during feeding, making it difficult for them to eat. Traditional feeding troughs typically employ a three-tiered structure: a storage bin, a sieve box, and a powder box. The storage bin stores dry powdered feed, which falls through a bottom outlet into the sieve box (which uses a built-in filter to remove clumps or impurities). Finally, the powdered feed falls into the powder box below for the ducks to peck at. However, this system has the following drawbacks: The powder box is fully built-in: The powder box is installed entirely inside the bracket, with the top flush with the bottom of the sieve box, making it impossible to directly observe the amount of powder collected, which causes inconvenience in management; Feed output is not adjustable: The amount of powdered feed cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the age of the ducks or their feeding needs, which can easily lead to feed waste or shortage. Utility Model Content

[0003] The first technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to provide an externally mounted visual feeding trough at the end of the powder box. By placing at least one end of the powder box externally, the powder collection situation can be directly observed, improving management convenience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An externally mounted, visually accessible feeding trough for a feed powder box includes a vertically positioned feed bin and a horizontally mounted sieve box at the bottom of the feed bin. The feed bin has a hollow storage cavity with an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. A filter screen is installed inside the sieve box, and a bracket is connected to the bottom of the sieve box. The feed powder box, which can slide left and right and is detachable, is mounted inside the bracket and communicates vertically with the filter screen. The key improvement is that the length of the feed powder box in its left-right direction is greater than the length of the bracket in its left-right direction; at least one end of the feed powder box located inside the bracket is exposed outside the bracket.

[0005] By adopting the above solution, since the length of the feed powder box in the feeding trough is greater than the length of the bracket, at least one end of the feed powder box is external, forming a visual observation window. The remaining amount of powder can be directly observed without disassembly (such as observing the height of the powder at the exposed end), avoiding frequent opening of the lid for inspection, thereby improving management efficiency.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of an externally mounted visual feeding trough at the end of a feed powder box, a limiting frame is rotatably installed on the left end of the feed box, and a positioning frame is fixedly installed on the right end of the feed box; wherein the limiting frame and the positioning frame respectively abut against the left and right ends of the feed powder box, thereby limiting the left and right sliding range of the feed powder box and preventing it from falling off.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the externally mounted visual feeding trough at the end of the powder box, both the limiting frame and the positioning frame are L-shaped frames, and the length of the limiting frame in the left and right direction is greater than the length of the fixing frame in the left and right direction, ensuring that the left end of all powder boxes is exposed outside the bracket, which further facilitates management.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the externally mounted visual feeding trough at the end of the feed powder box, the outer end of the limiting frame is also connected to a flat handle. The entire limiting frame is always facing downwards under the counterweight of the flat handle, which can keep the limiting frame in the normally closed state. When operation is required, the flat handle can be lifted upwards to rotate the limiting frame, release the resistance to the feed powder box, and thus facilitate the removal of the feed powder box.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the externally mounted visual feeding trough at the end of the powder box, multiple vertically arranged and spaced-apart uniform feeding plates are installed inside the storage chamber. When the powder falls, it collides with the uniform feeding plates, breaking up the accumulated powder and promoting uniform distribution.

[0010] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an externally mounted visual feeding trough at the end of the feed powder box, which can flexibly control the amount of feed supplied by adjusting the position of the feed dispensing adjustment plate according to the age of the duck flock (e.g., ducklings need small amounts and frequent feedings, while adult ducks need a stable supply) to reduce waste.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: Based on the above scheme, a sliding discharge adjustment plate is installed on the side wall of the material box at the discharge port. The discharge adjustment plate has multiple vertically arranged position adjustment slots, each sliding up and down along a screw fixed to the side wall of the material box. The lowest height of the discharge adjustment plate is lower than or equal to the highest height of the sieve box. Adjusting the height of the discharge adjustment plate controls the effective opening of the discharge port, thereby regulating the amount of powder falling (supply).

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the externally mounted visual feeding trough at the end of the powder box, a circular handle is also connected to the outside of the top screw. By rotating the handle, the looseness of the top screw can be adjusted, thereby quickly adjusting the position of the discharge adjustment plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Visual monitoring: Since the length of the feed powder box in the feeding trough is greater than the length of the bracket, at least one end of the feed powder box is external, forming a visual observation window. The remaining amount of powder can be directly observed without disassembly (such as observing the height of the powder at the exposed end), avoiding frequent opening of the lid for inspection, thereby improving management efficiency.

[0014] 2. Flexible disassembly and anti-fall-off: The limit frame and positioning frame work together to abut against both ends of the powder box, limiting its sliding range; the counterweight downward design of the straight handle can keep the limit frame in the normally closed state, making operation effortless. When disassembling, you only need to lift the limit frame to pull out the powder box for cleaning or replacement.

[0015] 3. Improved uniformity of material feeding: The material distribution plate in the storage chamber disperses the accumulated powder, preventing blockage at the discharge port and extending the service life of the screen box filter.

[0016] 4. Precise adjustment of feed output: The opening of the feed outlet can be changed by sliding up and down the feed adjustment plate, and the circular handle can be used for quick adjustment. The amount of powdered feed can be flexibly controlled according to the age of the duck flock (e.g., ducklings need small amounts and frequent feedings, while adult ducks need a stable supply), reducing waste.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a visual feeding trough with an externally mounted powder box includes a vertically positioned feed box 1 and a horizontally mounted sieve box 2 at the bottom of the feed box 1. The feed box 1 has a hollow storage cavity 3, with an inlet 4 at the top and an outlet 5 at the bottom. A filter screen 6 is installed inside the sieve box 2, and a bracket 7 is connected to the bottom of the sieve box 2. A powder box 8, which can slide left and right and is vertically connected to the filter screen 6, is installed inside the bracket 7. The core improvement is that the length of the powder box 8 in its left and right direction is greater than the length of the bracket 7 in its left and right direction; at least one end of the powder box 8 located inside the bracket 7 is exposed outside the bracket 7. Because the length of the powder box 8 in this feeding trough is greater than the length of the bracket 7, at least one end of the powder box 8 is externally mounted, forming a visual observation window. The remaining amount of powder can be directly observed without disassembly (such as observing the powder height at the exposed end), avoiding frequent opening of the lid for inspection, thereby improving management efficiency.

[0022] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, a limiting frame 9 is installed on the left end of the screening box 2, which rotates back and forth, and a positioning frame 10 is fixedly installed on the right end of the screening box 2; wherein the limiting frame 9 and the positioning frame 10 respectively abut against the left and right ends of the powder box 8, thereby limiting the left and right sliding range of the powder box 8 and preventing it from falling off.

[0023] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, both the limiting frame 9 and the positioning frame 10 are L-shaped frames, and the length of the limiting frame 9 in its left and right directions is greater than the length of the fixing frame in its left and right directions, ensuring that the left end of all powder boxes is exposed outside the bracket 7, which further facilitates management.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, the outer end of the limiting frame 9 is also connected to a flat handle 11. The entire limiting frame 9 is always facing downward under the counterweight of the flat handle 11, which can keep the limiting frame 9 in the normally closed state. When operation is required, the flat handle 11 can be lifted upward to rotate the limiting frame 9, release the resistance to the powder box 8, and thus facilitate the removal of the powder box.

[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, the storage chamber 3 is equipped with multiple vertically arranged and spaced uniform material plates 12. When the powder falls, it collides with the uniform material plates 12, breaking up the accumulated powder and promoting uniform distribution.

[0026] like Figure 7 As shown, a sliding discharge adjustment plate 13 is installed on the side wall of the material box 1 at the discharge port 5. The discharge adjustment plate 13 has multiple vertically arranged position adjustment grooves 14, each of which slides up and down along a top screw 15 fixed to the side wall of the material box 1. The lowest height of the discharge adjustment plate 13 is lower than or equal to the highest height of the screen box 2. Adjusting the height of the discharge adjustment plate 13 controls the effective opening of the discharge port 5, thereby adjusting the amount of powder falling (supply).

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, a circular handle 16 is also connected to the outside of the set screw 15. By rotating the handle, the looseness of the set screw 15 can be adjusted, thereby quickly adjusting the position of the discharge adjustment plate 13.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model: During feeding, feed is poured into the inlet 4. After entering the storage chamber 3, the feed falls from the outlet 5 into the sieve box 2. The feed powder in the sieve box 2 will fall into the powder box through the filter screen 6, thus separating the feed from the powder, making it easier for the ducks to eat. The feed continues until the storage chamber 3 is full. When the ducks are feeding, because the storage chamber 3 is connected to the sieve box 2, as the feed in the sieve box 2 decreases, the feed in the storage chamber 3 will automatically replenish the sieve box 2.

[0029] Because the length of the feed powder box 8 in the feeding trough is greater than the length of the bracket 7, at least one end of the feed powder box 8 is externally positioned, forming a visual observation window. The remaining amount of feed powder can be directly observed without disassembly (such as observing the height of the feed powder at the exposed end), avoiding frequent opening of the lid for inspection and thus improving management efficiency. Among them, the limiting bracket 9 and the positioning bracket 10 cooperate to abut against both ends of the feed powder box 8, limiting its sliding range.

[0030] When the feed output needs to be adjusted, according to the age of the ducklings (1 week old), rotate the circular handle 16 on the outside of the top screw 15 to drive the feed adjustment plate 13 (the lowest height of the plate is lower than the highest height of the screen box 2) to slide down 5cm, reduce the opening of the feed outlet 5, reduce the amount of feed fed at one time, and avoid feed waste.

[0031] When the powder box 8 needs to be cleaned, rotate the straight handle 11 upwards to make the limit bracket 9 rotate and disengage from the left end of the powder box 8, and the powder box 8 can be pulled out horizontally (the exposed end guides the sliding). The whole process takes less time and is significantly shorter than the disassembly time of traditional fully built-in structures.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
