Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the process of large-scale livestock farming, feeding troughs are essential feeding equipment. Their main function is to provide livestock with solid feed and clean drinking water to meet their daily nutritional and water needs for growth.

[0003] Currently, for livestock such as pigs and cattle raised in individual pens, partitions are often installed inside the feeding troughs to create separate feeding spaces, thus ensuring a relatively even distribution of feed to each animal. However, during feeding, livestock habitually push the feed forward with their snouts, which unconsciously pushes a large amount of feed to the side of the trough furthest from the animals. Because this area is far from the animals' feeding position, the animals cannot easily eat the remaining feed themselves. This results in feed residue in the trough after each feeding, requiring staff to frequently clean the troughs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a livestock feeder that solves the aforementioned issues.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a livestock feeder includes a supporting base, on which a feeder assembly is disposed. The feeder assembly includes a feeding plate, a bottom plate, and a baffle plate. The bottom plate is installed between the feeding plate and the baffle plate. Several sealing discs are disposed inside the bottom plate. A trigger rod is disposed below each sealing disc. One side of the trigger rod extends through the side wall of the supporting base. Several inclined protrusions are installed at the top of the trigger rod. An adaptive inclined surface is provided at the bottom of each sealing disc. A water storage tank is installed on one side of the supporting base. A water distribution pipe is located above the water storage tank. Several single-section pipes are connected to one side of the water distribution pipe. Several nozzles are installed at the bottom of each single-section pipe, and the nozzles are positioned corresponding to the baffle plate.

[0006] Preferably, a drain pipe is installed on one side of the support base, and a guide block is installed inside the support base, with the drain pipe positioned corresponding to the bottom of the guide block.

[0007] Preferably, the angle between the feeding plate and the bottom plate is greater than the angle between the baffle plate and the bottom plate, and the vertical height of the top of the feeding plate is lower than the top of the baffle plate.

[0008] Preferably, side plates are installed on both sides of the base plate, and several partition plates are installed on the top of the base plate.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the feeding trough assembly is equipped with several guide rings and guide frames, and the trigger lever slides inside the guide frames.

[0010] Preferably, a water supply pipe is installed between the water storage tank and the water distribution pipe.

[0011] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: The flushing system, consisting of a plug and trigger lever that can be opened in conjunction with a water tank and nozzles, can quickly flush away feed residue in the trough after livestock have eaten, especially feed residue on the side of the baffle plate. Workers can open or close the single-section valve at the appropriate location according to the actual situation to target the feed residue area for flushing, ensuring the flushing effect while reducing water waste, thereby reducing the frequency and labor intensity of manual cleaning.

[0014] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0015] Example: Figure 1As shown in Figure 5: A livestock feeder includes a support base 1, and a feeder assembly 2 is arranged above the support base 1. The feeder assembly 2 includes a feeding plate 21, a bottom plate 22, and a baffle plate 23. The bottom plate 22 is installed between the feeding plate 21 and the baffle plate 23. Several sealing discs 3 are arranged inside the bottom plate 22. A trigger rod 31 is arranged below the sealing discs 3. One side of the trigger rod 31 passes through the side wall of the support base 1. Several inclined protrusions 32 are installed at the top of the trigger rod 31. An adaptive inclined surface 33 is provided at the bottom of the sealing discs 3. A water storage tank 4 is installed on one side of the support base 1. Only a water distribution pipe 41 is above the water storage tank 4. Several single-section pipes 42 are connected to one side of the water distribution pipe 41. Several nozzles 43 are installed at the bottom of the single-section pipes 42. The positions of the nozzles 43 correspond to the baffle plate 23.

[0016] The support base 1 serves as the foundation for the entire feeding trough. Above the support base 1 is the feeding trough assembly 2, which is the core area for livestock feeding. The assembly includes a feeding plate 21, a bottom plate 22, and a feed baffle 23. The bottom plate 22 is horizontally installed between the feeding plate 21 and the feed baffle 23. The three are fixedly connected by welding, forming a semi-enclosed feeding space. The feeding plate 21 faces the side where the livestock feeds, and its surface is polished to prevent scratching the livestock's mouth and nose. The feed baffle 23 is located on the side away from the livestock to prevent feed from spilling outwards. Several sealing discs 3 are evenly arranged inside the bottom plate 22, the number of which depends on the feeding trough. The length of the groove is determined, and the sealing disc 3 can seal the discharge port on the base plate 22. A trigger rod 31 is set below the sealing disc 3. One side of the trigger rod 31 passes through the side wall of the support base 1, and a sealing ring is set at the penetration point with the side wall of the support base 1 to prevent material or water leakage. Several inclined protrusions 32 are welded and installed at the top of the trigger rod 31. The inclined protrusions 32 can drive the sealing disc 3 to move when the trigger rod 31 moves. The bottom of the sealing disc 3 is provided with a matching inclined surface 33, which fits against the inclined protrusions 32. When the inclined protrusions 32 move, the matching inclined surface 33 is subjected to force, causing the sealing disc 3 to move up and down, thereby opening the discharge port. In addition to the closed system, a water storage tank 4 is bolted to one side of the supporting base 1. A water distribution pipe 41 is installed above the water storage tank 4. Several single-section pipes 42 are evenly connected to one side of the water distribution pipe 41. The number of single-section pipes 42 is the same as the number of sealing discs 3. Several nozzles 43 are installed at the bottom of the single-section pipes 42. The nozzles 43 are atomized and their positions correspond to the baffle plate 23. After the livestock have finished eating, the operator can pull the trigger lever 31 to move the sealing discs 3 vertically upward, exposing the drain outlet inside the base plate 22. Then, the operator can start the water pump installed inside the water storage tank 4. Water flows through the water distribution pipe 41 to several individual pipe sections 42, and finally sprays out from the nozzle 43 to rinse the residual feed, especially the feed pushed onto the surface of the baffle plate 23 by the livestock. The rinsed feed flows with the water through the drain inlet inside the base plate 22 into the support base 1, and is finally discharged into a suitable position to ensure the rinsing effect and reduce the frequency of manual cleaning. In addition, valves are installed between the individual pipe sections 42 and the water distribution pipe 41, so that in actual use, the staff can open the valve of the individual pipe section 42 corresponding to the residual feed according to the actual situation to rinse a specific area.

[0017] A drain pipe 11 is installed on one side of the support base 1, and a guide block 12 is installed inside the support base 1. The position of the drain pipe 11 corresponds to the bottom of the guide block 12. The drain pipe 11 is welded and installed on one side of the support base 1. One end of the drain pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the support base 1, and the other end can be connected to the sewage pipe of the farm for draining sewage and feed residue from the feed trough. At the same time, the guide block 12 is welded and installed inside the support base 1. The lowest end of the guide block 12 corresponds to the inlet of the drain pipe 11. When the feed trough is rinsed, sewage and feed residue will fall on the guide block 12. Since the guide block 12 has a certain inclination angle, under the action of gravity, the sewage and residue will flow along the inclined surface of the guide block 12 to the lowest end, and then be discharged through the drain pipe 11, thus preventing sewage and residue from accumulating inside the support base 1.

[0018] The angle between the feeding board 21 and the bottom plate 22 is greater than the angle between the baffle plate 23 and the bottom plate 22, and the vertical height of the top of the feeding board 21 is lower than the top of the baffle plate 23. The angle between the feeding board 21 and the bottom plate 22 is greater than the angle between the baffle plate 23 and the bottom plate 22. At the same time, the vertical height of the top of the feeding board 21 is lower than the top of the baffle plate 23. This makes the angle between the feeding board 21 and the bottom plate 22 more consistent with the tilt angle of the livestock's head when feeding, reducing the difficulty of feeding and improving feeding comfort. The angle between the baffle plate 23 and the bottom plate 22 and the higher height of the baffle plate 23 can effectively prevent feed from spilling outwards when the livestock arches forward during feeding. At the same time, because the baffle plate 23 is relatively steep, feed is less likely to accumulate on the surface of the baffle plate 23. With the subsequent rinsing structure, feed residue can be further reduced.

[0019] Side plates 24 are installed on both sides of the base plate 22, and several partition plates 25 are installed on the top of the base plate 22. The side plates 24 are fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate 22. The side plates 24 can close the two sides of the feeding trough assembly 2 to prevent feed from spilling from the sides of the feeding trough. At the same time, they can also prevent external debris from entering the inside of the feeding trough and ensure feed cleanliness. In addition, several partition plates 25 are evenly installed on the top of the base plate 22 by welding. The number of partition plates 25 is determined according to the number of livestock. The partition plates 25 divide the inside of the feeding trough assembly 2 into several independent feeding units. Each feeding unit corresponds to one livestock, which can ensure that each livestock has an independent feeding space and ensure that the feed distribution of each livestock is relatively uniform.

[0020] Several guide rings 221 and guide frames 222 are installed at the bottom of the feeding trough assembly 2. The trigger rod 31 slides inside the guide frame 222. Several guide rings 221 and guide frames 222 are welded and installed at the bottom of the base plate 22 of the feeding trough assembly 2. The number and position of the guide rings 221 correspond to the sealing disc 3. When the sealing disc 3 moves vertically, the guide rings 221 can guide the sealing disc 3 to avoid tilting. The guide frame 222 is used to guide the horizontal movement of the trigger rod 31. The trigger rod 31 slides inside the guide frame 222 to prevent the trigger rod 31 from deviating during movement. This ensures that the trigger rod 31 can only move in the horizontal direction and avoids the sealing disc 3 from failing to accurately open or close the feed port due to the shaking of the trigger rod 31. At the same time, the cooperation between the guide rings 221 and the guide frame 222 can greatly improve the stability and smoothness of the movement of the sealing disc 3 and the trigger rod 31, and extend the service life of the feeding trough.

[0021] A water supply pipe 44 is installed between the water storage tank 4 and the water distribution pipe 41. One end of the water supply pipe 44 is connected to the output end of the water pump inside the water storage tank 4 by a threaded connection. A rubber sealing gasket is provided at the connection to prevent water leakage. The other end is connected to the water distribution pipe 41 by a T-connector. It is also threaded and sealed. This allows clean water to be delivered to the inside of the water distribution pipe 41 through the water supply pipe 44 during use. The water then flows through the water distribution pipe 41 to each section of the pipe 42 and is finally discharged through the nozzle 43 to complete the rinsing of the feeding trough.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The worker can guide feed into the feeding trough assembly 2, which is divided into several independent feeding units by the partition plate 25. After the livestock finishes feeding, the worker can pull the trigger lever 31. When the trigger lever 31 moves horizontally, it drives the inclined protrusion 32 to move synchronously. The inclined protrusion 32 contacts the matching inclined surface 33 and drives the sealing plate 3 to move vertically upwards, opening the drain outlet inside the bottom plate 22. Then, the worker can start the water pump installed inside the water storage tank 4, allowing the clean water stored inside the water storage tank 4 to enter the water delivery pipe 44. The water is then transported through the water distribution pipe 41 to several single-section pipes 42, and finally sprayed out through the nozzles 43 installed at the bottom of the single-section pipes 42 to clean the surfaces of the bottom plate 22 and the baffle plate 23. The residual feed is rinsed, and the water flow carries impurities through the drain inlet inside the base plate 22 into the support base 1. The sewage entering the support base 1 is guided by the guide block 12 into the drain pipe 11, and finally transported to a suitable location through the drain pipe 11. Then, the operator can slide the trigger lever 31 back to its original position, causing several sealing discs 3 to move back to their original positions by gravity, thereby sealing the drain inlet inside the base plate 22 again. At this time, the clean water sprayed from the nozzle 43 will remain inside the trough for the livestock to drink. During the rinsing stage, the operator can open or close the valve of the single-section pipe 42 at the appropriate location according to the actual situation to carry out targeted rinsing of the feed residue location, ensuring the rinsing effect and reducing water waste.
