[0020] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application includes a mobile chassis 1, a contour guide wheel mechanism 2, a cleaning nozzle assembly 3, a lifting adjustment rod 4, a guide rail 5, and a support base 6. The mobile chassis 1 supports the entire cleaning device and provides a basic platform for overall movement. Its front end is equipped with the contour guide wheel mechanism 2 to ensure it can adapt to different shaped feed trough edges during movement. The cleaning nozzle assembly 3 is installed in the middle of the mobile chassis 1 for spraying water to rinse the inside of the feed trough. Simultaneously, the lifting adjustment rod 4 is connected below, and its height is adjusted by sliding cooperation with the mobile chassis 1 via the guide rail 5. The support base 6 is located within the guide rail 5 and mainly supports the lifting adjustment rod 4 and the cleaning nozzle assembly 3, enhancing the overall stability of the device.

[0023] The contour guide wheel mechanism 2 consists of two intersecting guide wheel shafts 21, with the intersection fixedly connected to the crossbeam at the front end of the movable chassis 1 via a rotating support 22. Each end of the two guide wheel shafts 21 is equipped with a guide wheel body 24. The outer edge of the guide wheel body 24 is provided with a rubber buffer layer 25, which provides elastic support when in contact with the edge of the feeding trough, preventing scratches or abrasions to the trough surface. This intersecting guide wheel structure allows the guide wheels to flexibly adjust their direction according to changes in the contour of the feeding trough, thereby ensuring the stability and guidance of the device during movement.

[0024] The cleaning nozzle assembly 3 is mounted in the center of the mobile chassis 1 using a fixing device to ensure its stability relative to the centerline of the feeding trough. The nozzles are typically multi-directionally distributed, covering the bottom and sides of the feeding trough. They are connected to a water supply pipe and provide high-pressure spraying as needed to improve cleaning efficiency. A lifting adjustment rod 4 is connected to the lower part of the nozzle assembly, allowing for manual or mechanical height adjustment to accommodate feeding troughs of varying depths.

[0025] The lifting adjustment rod 4 is slidably connected to the movable chassis 1 via the guide rail 5, allowing the nozzle assembly to move vertically. This rod is typically made of metal with a rust-proof finish, ensuring good durability. During use, the lifting adjustment rod 4 can be moved up and down using an external drive or manual adjustment to adapt to different height requirements of the feeding trough, and the nozzle can be moved out of the feeding trough area when necessary.

[0026] The guide rail 5 is located below the movable chassis 1 and serves to limit the movement trajectory of the lifting adjustment rod 4, ensuring that it can only slide within a predetermined range. The guide rail 5 is generally made of metal profiles with a certain coefficient of friction to ensure that the lifting adjustment rod 4 does not wobble or shift during adjustment. Furthermore, the guide rail 5 is typically securely fixed to the movable chassis 1, thus providing stable support for the nozzle assembly.

[0027] The support base 6 is embedded inside the guide rail 5, serving to support the weight of the lifting adjustment rod 4 and the cleaning nozzle assembly 3, preventing the structure from loosening or deforming due to excessive weight during operation. The support base 6 is usually designed as a box or frame structure, forming a tight fit with the inside of the guide rail 5, ensuring stability without hindering the smooth movement of the adjustment rod.

[0028] This application solves the problem of cleaning equipment struggling to adhere closely to the edges of irregular food troughs through a contoured guide wheel mechanism 2. The cross-arranged guide wheel shafts 21, in conjunction with the rotating support 22 and the rubber buffer layer 25, allow the guide wheels to freely turn on the edges of the food trough with varying curvatures while maintaining constant contact. As the moving chassis 1 advances along the food trough, the contoured guide wheel mechanism 2 adjusts its direction according to the changing shape of the trough, thereby keeping the entire device in close contact and achieving automatic following guidance. This ensures no area is missed during cleaning and provides convenient and efficient operation.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide wheel shaft 21 of the contour guide wheel mechanism 2 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application is connected to the rotating support 22 via an adjusting thread, allowing the guide wheel shaft 21 to slide axially within the rotating support 22. This structural design allows for adaptive adjustment according to changes in the shape of the feed trough, improving the fit and operational stability of the equipment. The guide wheel shaft 21 is installed inside the rotating support 22, and the rotating support 22 is fixed to the crossbeam at the front end of the movable chassis 1, ensuring the overall structure is stable and reliable. The adjusting thread allows the guide wheel shaft 21 to be finely adjusted in position according to actual needs, enhancing the adaptability of the device.

[0030] Specifically, one end of the guide wheel shaft 21 engages with an adjusting nut inside the rotating support 22 via a threaded hole. The sliding range of the guide wheel shaft 21 within the rotating support 22 is determined by the position of the adjusting nut, thereby achieving precise control of the axial position of the guide wheel shaft 21. For example, when the moving chassis 1 moves forward, the guide wheel shaft 21 can move axially within the rotating support 22 to adapt to trough structures of different widths and shapes. This connection method not only ensures the stable movement of the guide wheel shaft 21 but also facilitates subsequent maintenance and adjustment.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, an elastic support 7 is provided between the guide wheel shafts 21 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application to enhance the buffering performance of the guide wheel body 24. The elastic support 7 is positioned between the two guide wheel shafts 21, serving as a connection and support to maintain stability under different terrain conditions. By providing this elastic support 7, vibration and impact caused by uneven ground can be effectively reduced, improving the overall stability of the equipment operation. The structure and installation position of the elastic support 7 are adapted to the layout of the guide wheel shafts 21, ensuring a reliable connection between them.

[0032] For example, the elastic support 7 can be a rubber spring or a coil spring, which is installed between the adjacent ends of the two guide wheel shafts 21. The elastic support 7 is fixed to both sides of the guide wheel shaft 21 by fasteners, so that it is under pressure. This installation method ensures good contact and force transmission between the elastic support 7 and the guide wheel shaft 21, while not affecting the normal rotation function of the guide wheel shaft 21.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer edge of the guide wheel body 24 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application is provided with a rubber buffer layer 25. This buffer layer is designed with a wavy structure to enhance the contact area and fit with the edge of the feed trough. This structure can effectively adapt to changes in the shape of the feed trough edge, avoiding slippage or jamming caused by structural mismatch, and improving the stability and cleaning effect of the device during movement. The rubber buffer layer 25 is located on the outside of the guide wheel body 24 and is in direct contact with the surface of the feed trough, providing cushioning and anti-slip functions during equipment operation, further improving the accuracy and efficiency of the cleaning operation.

[0034] Specifically, the guide wheel body 24 is installed at both ends of the guide wheel shaft 21. The guide wheel shaft 21 is arranged crosswise and fixed to the front crossbeam of the mobile chassis 1 by the rotating support 22. The rubber buffer layer 25 is fixed to the outer edge area of ​​the guide wheel body 24 by injection molding to form a continuous wave-like texture, ensuring good contact at different angles and positions.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, a shock-absorbing pad 8 is provided at the connection between the rotating support 22 and the movable chassis 1 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application, in order to reduce the impact on the chassis when the guide wheel shaft 21 moves. The shock-absorbing pad 8 is disposed on the contact surface between the rotating support 22 and the movable chassis 1, and absorbs the vibration and impact force generated by the guide wheel shaft 21 during movement through its elastic deformation, thereby reducing damage to the structure of the movable chassis 1. This design helps to improve the stability and durability of the equipment operation, while avoiding loosening or damage to components due to vibration.

[0036] Specifically, the damping pad 8 can be made of rubber or other elastic materials with good cushioning properties, such as polyurethane, and is installed in the connection area between the rotating support 22 and the mobile chassis 1, so that it fits tightly against the contact surfaces of the two. The pad can be fixed to the bottom surface of the rotating support 22 or the top of the mobile chassis 1 by adhesive or snap-fit, ensuring a stable connection and effective vibration damping during equipment operation.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, an angle adjustment shaft 10 is rotatably mounted between the cleaning nozzle assembly 3 and the lifting adjustment rod 4 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application. One end of the angle adjustment shaft 10 is fitted with an adjustable fastening nut 23, and the tightening torque of the adjustable fastening nut 23 can be controlled by a manual adjustment rod 9 to adjust the spray direction of the cleaning nozzle assembly 3. This structural design allows for adjustment of the nozzle's spray angle according to actual needs, improving cleaning coverage and efficiency. The angle adjustment shaft 10 is located at the connection between the cleaning nozzle assembly 3 and the lifting adjustment rod 4, ensuring that the nozzle assembly still has flexible horizontal rotation capability during vertical movement. The adjustable fastening nut 23 is used to lock the spray angle; it can be manually loosened when adjustment is needed and then tightened again after adjustment.

[0038] For example, the angle adjustment shaft 10 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning nozzle assembly 3, with one end passing through the lifting adjustment rod 4 and an adjustable fastening nut 23 provided on the end face. At the same time, one end of the manual adjustment rod 9 is connected to the outside of the adjustable fastening nut 23. By manually rotating the adjustment rod, the torque of the fastening nut can be changed, thereby affecting the locking state of the angle adjustment shaft 10 and achieving precise adjustment of the nozzle angle.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the contour guide wheel mechanism 2 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application includes two cross-arranged guide wheel shafts 21. The cross-arrangement structure allows the two guide wheel shafts 21 to cooperate with each other during movement, ensuring that the guide wheel body 24 always maintains contact with the edge of the feed trough. The guide wheel shafts 21 are fixed to the crossbeam at the front end of the mobile chassis 1 by a rotating support 22, thereby achieving flexible rotation and adapting to different shapes of feed trough edges. The guide wheel body 24 is located at both ends of the guide wheel shaft 21, and a rubber buffer layer 25 is provided on its outer edge to improve fit and reduce friction damage. This structural design helps the equipment maintain a stable trajectory during movement while adapting to changes in the feed trough contour.

[0040] Specifically, when the guide wheel shafts 21 are arranged in a cross shape, they form an X-shaped structure, allowing the two guide wheel bodies 24 to abut against the edges of the feeding trough on both sides respectively. They are connected to the movable chassis 1 through the rotating support 22, ensuring that the two guide wheel bodies 24 are adjusted synchronously during movement, thereby achieving continuous guidance and adaptation to the edge of the feeding trough.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a limiting rod 11 is provided on the front crossbeam of the movable chassis 1 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application. The limiting rod 11 engages with the rotating support 22 of the guide wheel shaft 21 in the contour guide wheel mechanism 2, thereby limiting the range of motion of the guide wheel shaft 21. The limiting rod 11 is installed at an appropriate position on the front crossbeam of the movable chassis 1 to ensure that it can effectively constrain the rotation angle of the guide wheel shaft 21. The rotating support 22 is fixed to the front crossbeam of the movable chassis 1 and connected to the intersection with the guide wheel shaft 21. The intervention of the limiting rod 11 prevents excessive displacement of the guide wheel shaft 21, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation. This structural design enhances the guiding function of the entire device, enabling the equipment to move more precisely along the edge of the feed trough.

[0042] For example, the limiting rod 11 is located in the middle area of ​​the front crossbeam of the mobile chassis 1, with its end close to the rotating support 22 and maintaining an appropriate distance from the outer side of the rotating support 22. When the guide wheel shaft 21 rotates beyond a predetermined angle, the limiting rod 11 will contact the rotating support 22 to prevent further deflection, thereby avoiding the guide wheel shaft 21 from shifting due to external force and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0043] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the mobile chassis 1 of the cattle farm-specific feed trough cleaning device of this application is equipped with multiple rollers 12 at its bottom to assist the contour guide wheel mechanism 2 in running smoothly on irregular surfaces. The rollers 12 are located at the bottom of the mobile chassis 1 to support the overall structure and enable lateral movement. The arrangement of the rollers 12 ensures the stability and smooth movement of the device under different ground conditions. Through the cooperation of the rollers 12, the contour guide wheel mechanism 2 can better conform to the ground contour, ensuring that the device does not deviate or jam when operating in complex terrain. This design effectively improves the efficiency and adaptability of the cleaning operation.

[0044] Specifically, multiple rollers 12 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the mobile chassis 1. Each roller 12 is mounted on a specific fixed point on the bottom surface of the chassis, and the rollers 12 are connected to the chassis via a bearing structure to ensure flexible rotation. The arrangement of the rollers 12 not only facilitates the movement of the entire device but also effectively reduces the resistance during movement, enabling the contour guide wheel mechanism 2 to maintain good operating conditions under different ground conditions. This structural arrangement meets the needs of practical applications and ensures the practicality and stability of the device.

[0045] In actual operation, when this device is used, the mobile chassis 1 is placed above the cattle trough, and the contour guide wheel mechanism 2 moves along the edge of the trough. The guide wheel body 24 contacts the surface of the trough under the action of the rubber buffer layer 25, ensuring stable operation of the device during movement. The cleaning nozzle assembly 3 is located above the trough and slides up and down in the guide rail 5 with the lifting adjustment rod 4, thereby adjusting the nozzle height to adapt to different shaped troughs. After the cleaning pump is started, the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the surface of the trough through the nozzle to achieve efficient cleaning. The support base 6 provides stable support for the lifting adjustment rod 4, ensuring stability and safety during the cleaning process.
