[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a specific technical implementation scheme for an adjustable height hay rack for cattle:
[0027] An adjustable-height cattle hay rack includes: a main body 1, support plates 2, sleeves 3, protective sleeves 4, support legs 5, torsion tubes 6, brackets 7, pins 8, push plates 9, limiting plates 10, fixing screws 11, limiting strips 12, baffles 13, and locking blocks 14. Two support plates 2 are fixedly connected to the lower side of one side of the outer wall of the main body 1. Two pins 8 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body 1 away from the two support plates 2. Brackets 7 are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the two pins 8. Sleeves 3 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two support plates 2 and the bottom sides of the brackets 7. Torsion tubes are rotatably connected to the lower sides of the outer walls of multiple sleeves 3 via sealed bearings. The inner walls of the tubes 6 and multiple twisted tubes 6 are threaded with support legs 5, and the ends of the multiple support legs 5 extend to the upper part of the inner walls of multiple sleeves 3 respectively. When the twisted tubes 6 are rotated, the position and height of the support legs 5 can be changed, thereby realizing the adjustment of the usage height. When using, since the height adjustment is not a precise position, the operator can judge the height adjustment by visual inspection. When adjusting the height, the bracket 7 can rotate along the outer wall of the pin shaft 8, which allows the operator to make adjustments on one side in stages. After one side is adjusted, the other side is adjusted.
[0028] The outer walls of multiple sleeves 3 are all machined with grooves; the grooves allow the operator to better control the sleeves 3.
[0029] Protective sleeves 4 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of multiple sleeves 3; the protective sleeves 4 can shield and protect the connection between the sleeves 3 and the twisted tube 6.
[0030] A push plate 9 is attached to one side of the inner wall of the main body 1, and a limiting plate 10 fixed to one side of the inner wall of the main body 1 is attached to the outer wall of the push plate 9. Limiting strips 12 fixed to the upper part of the inner wall of the main body 1 are attached to both sides of the top of the push plate 9. A baffle 13 is attached to the inner wall of the main body 1 on the side away from the push plate 9. When the push plate 9 is pushed, the straw inside the main body 1 can be cleaned by the push plate 9. The top of the push plate 9 is processed with a snap-fit groove that matches the lower part of the outer wall of the limiting strip 12, so that the push plate 9 can be limited by the limiting strip 12.
[0031] Both sides of the outer wall of the baffle 13 are fixedly connected with locking blocks 14, and both locking blocks 14 are slidably engaged with the inner wall of the main body 1. The inner wall of the push plate 9 is threadedly connected with a fixing screw 11 that is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 10. The locking blocks 14 can restrict the position of the baffle 13, and the fixing screw 11 can connect and fix the push plate 9 and the limiting plate 10.
[0032] Specifically, when adjusting the height, the staff needs to clean the threads of the outrigger 5 beforehand to avoid leaving debris inside the threads that could affect the performance. There are no restrictions on the specific cleaning method, and the staff can choose according to the actual usage. Those skilled in the art should interpret this broadly. When cleaning the fodder, the staff can clean it regularly according to the actual usage. There are no restrictions on the specific cleaning cycle, and the staff can choose according to the actual usage.
[0033] Specific implementation steps:
[0034] When adjusting the height, first twist the twist tube 6 on one side. The twist tube 6 will then drive the support leg 5 to move. By changing the position of the support leg 5 and the sleeve 3, the height can be adjusted. At the same time, the bracket 7 rotates along the outer wall of the pin shaft 8. After one side is adjusted, the same operation can be performed on the other side to achieve the height adjustment. When cleaning the hay, the worker removes the baffle 13 and then twists the fixing screw 11. When the fixing screw 11 leaves the inner wall of the push plate 9, the push plate 9 can be pushed. The push plate 9 moves along the inner wall of the main body 1. With the movement of the push plate 9, the hay inside the main body 1 can be pushed out.
[0035] In summary, this adjustable-height cattle feed rack, through its main body, support plate, sleeve, support legs, bracket, and pin, allows for height adjustment during use, better accommodating cattle of varying heights from calves to adults. This ensures comfortable feeding, reduces neck strain, and effectively meets the feeding needs of cattle at different growth stages and of different sizes. The inclusion of baffles, locking blocks, push plates, limiting strips, and the main body facilitates easy cleaning of residual feed, preventing cattle from coming into contact with moldy feed and effectively preventing food poisoning. Furthermore, it significantly improves usability and work efficiency. This invention, through improvements to the adjustable-height cattle feed rack, offers the advantages of adjustable height and convenient, quick cleaning of residual feed, effectively solving the problems and shortcomings of existing devices.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
