Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically relating to a feeding cart for livestock feeding, which is suitable for feed delivery and trough cleaning operations of various livestock troughs, and can improve feeding efficiency and trough maintenance convenience. Background Technology

[0002] Feed carts for livestock farming are key pieces of equipment used to deliver feed to troughs and assist in cleaning up leftover food. Their core function is to reduce the intensity of manual feeding and achieve batch feed delivery. Existing feed carts typically consist of a storage bin, fixed wheels, a traction handle, and simple feeding components, but they have significant shortcomings: functional components are mostly integrated and fixed, making them difficult to disassemble or adjust according to trough dimensions, resulting in poor adaptability; the storage bin lacks an active stirring structure, leading to feed clumping and blockage, and low uniformity of feed delivery; the wheels are mostly of uniform diameter, making it difficult to accurately control feed distribution during delivery, and the wheels lack sufficient anti-slip properties, leading to slippage; the coordination between trough cleaning and feed diversion is poor, the fixed position of the cleaning components results in incomplete waste removal, and the lack of efficient switching between feeding and cleaning based on the device's movement status leads to low overall operational efficiency, failing to meet the diverse needs of modern livestock farming. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to solve the problems of poor adaptability, uneven feed blockage, weak coordination between movement and function, and incomplete cleaning of existing livestock feeding vehicles, and provides a livestock feeding vehicle with flexible structure, high feed processing efficiency, and strong operational coordination.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding cart for livestock feeding, including a vehicle frame, wheels, a traction handle, a feed storage box, a transmission device, a cleaning component, and a diversion component. The vehicle frame is a rectangular metal frame structure, arranged horizontally, with an extension connecting rod at the top; the wheels are cylindrical wheels with anti-slip texture, including a partition wheel movably connected to the end of the vehicle frame away from the traction handle, and a support wheel located at the end of the vehicle frame near the traction handle. The diameter of the support wheel is larger than that of the partition wheel, and the lowest points of both are at the same height when the vehicle frame is horizontal. The two sets of wheels are respectively hinged to the bottom sides of the vehicle frame via axles, and the axles have axle mounting holes along the width direction; the traction handle is a bent rod, with its lower end fixedly connected to the upper rear end of the vehicle frame, and its upper end has a horizontal anti-slip grip; the feed storage box is a rectangular box with an open top, supported by a support bracket. The device is bolted to the middle of the vehicle frame and located directly above the traveling wheel. A discharge trough is located at the bottom, and a sprocket rotates through the central shaft inside. This sprocket is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, on which mixing roller assemblies are evenly distributed circumferentially along the length. The transmission device includes a chain and two sprockets. One sprocket is coaxially and fixedly connected to the axle of the traveling wheel, and the other is connected to the rotating shaft of the storage box. The chain, fitted with the two sprockets, achieves power transmission. The transmission device is bolted to the side of the vehicle frame via a fixed bracket. The cleaning component is an arc-shaped scraper, and the diversion component is an inverted V-shaped material equalizing plate. Both are detachably connected to the extension connecting rod via bolts. The distance between the top of the cleaning component and the bottom of the extension connecting rod can be adjusted using adjusting bolts.

[0005] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages compared with the prior art:

[0006] This invention utilizes an extension connecting rod to enable the detachable adjustment of the cleaning and diversion components, improving the device's adaptability to different feeding troughs. The traveling wheels employ dividing and supporting wheels of varying diameters. Combined with the tilt / horizontal switching of the vehicle frame, during feeding, the supporting wheels contact the bottom plate of the feeding trough, and the dividing wheels crush the feed seams. This, along with the inverted V-shaped diversion component, pushes the feed to both sides of the feeding trough, optimizing feed distribution. The transmission device links the traveling wheels to the rotating shaft inside the storage tank, and the stirring roller assembly disperses the feed as the device moves, preventing blockages and ensuring uniformity. The arc-shaped cleaning and diversion components work together to treat the sidewalls and bottom of the feeding trough separately during cleaning, improving residue removal. The anti-slip texture of the traveling wheels enhances stability. Overall, the device achieves highly efficient coordination between feeding and cleaning, significantly improving operational efficiency and practicality.

[0007] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following examination or study, or may be taught from the practice of this invention.

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.

[0014] It should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "up," "down," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0015] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the description of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the vehicle frame 1 serves as the core support component, with two extension connecting rods 11 welded parallel to each other along its length at its top. Bolt holes are pre-drilled evenly on the bottom surface of the extension connecting rods 11. The dividing wheel 21 of the traveling wheel 2 is hinged to the two sides of the bottom front end of the vehicle frame 1 via an axle, and the support wheel 22 is hinged to the two sides of the bottom rear end of the vehicle frame 1 via an axle. Both ends of the axle are limited by axle retaining rings to ensure that the traveling wheel 2 only rotates around the axle and does not move axially. The angle between the bent section and the vertical section of the traction handle 3 is 135°, and its lower end is rigidly connected to the reinforcing plate at the upper rear end of the vehicle frame 1 via four M10 bolts. The reinforcing plate is welded to the vehicle frame 1 as a single unit. L-shaped support brackets are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the feed storage box 4. These support brackets are connected to the crossbeam in the middle of the vehicle frame 1 via M8 bolts. The rotating shaft 41 at the central axis inside the storage box 4... Both ends are rotatably connected to the front and rear side walls of the storage box 4 via deep groove ball bearings. One end of the rotating shaft 41 extends out of the side wall of the storage box 4 and is fixedly connected to the sprocket 52 via a flat key. The fixed bracket of the transmission device 5 is welded to the middle right side of the vehicle frame 1. The fixed bracket is provided with an adjustment groove for tensioning the chain 51. The chain 51 is respectively sleeved on the sprocket 52 on the axle of the support wheel 22 and the sprocket 52 on the rotating shaft 41 to form a closed transmission chain. The top of the cleaning component 6 is welded with a U-shaped connecting seat. The U-shaped connecting seat is connected to the bolt hole at the front end of the extension connecting rod 11 via an M6 adjusting bolt. The top of the diversion component 7 is welded with a double-ear connecting seat. The double-ear connecting seat is connected to the bolt hole in the middle of the extension connecting rod 11 via an M6 adjusting bolt. The arc concave surface of the cleaning component 6 faces the side wall of the feed trough, and the inverted V-shaped apex of the diversion component 7 faces upward and the bottom edge is parallel to the bottom plate of the feed trough.

[0017] In this implementation plan, from the perspective of key implementation points, this device achieves functional synergy through "modular assembly + state switching." The beneficial effects of the combination of each component and its role in solving existing problems are as follows:

[0018] The detachable and adjustable design of the extension connecting rod 11 and functional components breaks through the limitation of fixed functional components in existing devices. The preset bolt holes of the extension connecting rod 11 can adjust the installation distance between the cleaning component 6 and the diversion component 7 according to the width of the feeding trough. The two can be quickly disassembled and assembled by bolts. When it is necessary to replace scrapers or equalizing plates of different specifications, it is only necessary to loosen the adjusting bolts to complete the replacement. This greatly improves the adaptability of the device to feeding troughs of different widths and depths and solves the problem of poor adaptability of existing equipment that is "one trough for one use".

[0019] The unequal diameter traveling wheels 2 are linked to the vehicle frame: the design of the support wheel 22 having a larger diameter than the dividing wheel 21 allows the vehicle frame 1 to switch between "tilted feeding" and "horizontal cleaning" states by the direction of force applied by the traction handle 3. When feeding, pulling the traction handle 3 causes the front end of the vehicle frame 1 to tilt upward and the rear end to sink downward, with the support wheel 22 fully contacting the bottom plate of the feeding trough to provide stable support. The dividing wheel 21 precisely presses against the middle seam of the feed pile diverted by the diversion component 7, further compacting the feed and preventing accumulation. At the same time, the inverted V-shaped diversion component 7 guides the falling feed to both sides of the feeding trough, solving the problems of concentrated feed accumulation and uneven feeding of livestock in existing devices. When cleaning, pushing the traction handle 3 restores the vehicle frame 1 to a horizontal position, with the dividing wheel 21 and support wheel 22 contacting the bottom plate together. This ensures that the arc-shaped scraper of the cleaning component 6 adheres to the side wall of the feeding trough and the bottom edge of the diversion component 7 adheres to the bottom plate of the feeding trough, achieving simultaneous cleaning of the "side wall-bottom". This solves the shortcomings of existing cleaning components that can only handle a single area and do not thoroughly clean the residue.

[0020] The linkage design between the transmission device 5 and the stirring roller assembly 42: Utilizing the rotational power of the walking wheel 2, the motion is transmitted to the rotating shaft 41 inside the storage box 4 through the chain 51-sprocket 52, causing the stirring roller assembly 42 to rotate synchronously with the movement of the device. The stirring rods of the stirring roller assembly 42 are distributed in a spiral shape, which can not only break up the clumps of feed, but also push the feed to the discharge chute at the bottom of the storage box 4, realizing the integration of "walking-stirring-discharging". This avoids the problem of existing devices requiring additional power to drive stirring or manual unblocking, and reduces energy consumption and manual intervention costs.

[0021] Optimization of practicality in detailed structure: The circumferential anti-slip texture of the walking wheel 2 increases the friction with the bottom plate of the feeding trough, preventing the device from slipping when tilting to feed; the 135° bending angle of the traction handle 3 and the rubber anti-slip grip are ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue for operators when pulling; the feed storage box 4 is made of transparent material, making it easy to observe the remaining feed in real time, and the L-shaped structure of the support bracket improves the stability of the connection between the storage box 4 and the vehicle frame 1, preventing the storage box from shaking and causing feed spillage when the device moves.

[0022] It should be noted that, for example Figure 3 As shown, the fixed storage box 4 and the towing handle 3 are both fixedly connected with retaining rings 8. A rectangular fixed frame 9 can be used to connect all the retaining rings 8 at the same time, connecting multiple body frames 1, so as to realize the linkage use of multiple devices, thereby adapting to the needs of different feeding troughs.

[0023] This utility model is compatible with common fixed feeding troughs, mobile feeding troughs, and semi-automatic feeding systems in existing livestock farming. Through flexible structural adjustments, it forms a highly efficient linkage with existing devices. The following details its connection methods with existing technologies, the usage status of each structure, and linkage details in different application scenarios:

[0024] Scenario 1: Adapting to existing fixed concrete feeding troughs of different widths (common in cattle and sheep pens)

[0025] Existing technical background: Fixed concrete feeding troughs are mostly 60-120cm wide, with vertical side walls on both sides and a horizontal bottom plate. Existing feeding vehicles are limited by their fixed width and can only be used with a single type of feeding trough. Furthermore, the cleaning components cannot fit the side walls, resulting in residue residue.

[0026] The device works with existing feeding troughs without the need for additional connecting structures. Simply place the device inside the fixed feeding trough and adjust the installation spacing of the cleaning component 6 and the diversion component 7 on the extension connecting rod 11 to match the width of the feeding trough. Loosen the adjusting bolts connecting the two components to the extension connecting rod 11, move the U-shaped connecting seat and the double-ear connecting seat along the preset bolt holes of the extension connecting rod 11, so that the arc-shaped concave surface of the cleaning component 6 fits against the two side walls of the feeding trough (the spacing is consistent with the width of the feeding trough), and the inverted V-shaped bottom edge of the diversion component 7 covers the bottom width of the feeding trough. Then tighten the bolts to fix it.

[0027] Usage status of each structure:

[0028] During feeding: The operator pulls the traction handle 3, and the vehicle frame 1 tilts around the support wheel 22 (the front end tilts up and the rear end sinks down). The support wheel 22 (larger diameter) fully contacts the bottom plate of the feed trough to provide support, and the separator wheel 21 (smaller diameter) partially contacts the center seam of the feed pile diverted by the diversion component 7. As the device moves, it crushes the feed to prevent accumulation. The feed in the feed storage box 4 falls through the bottom discharge chute. At the same time, the traveling wheel 2 rotates, driving the chain 51-sprocket 52 of the transmission device 5 to drive the rotating shaft 41 and the stirring roller assembly 42 to rotate, breaking up the clumps of feed and pushing it to the discharge chute. The inverted V-shaped diversion component 7 guides the feed to both sides of the feed trough, solving the problem of concentrated feed accumulation in the existing device.

[0029] During cleaning: The operator pushes the traction handle 3, the vehicle frame 1 returns to level, the separator wheel 21 and the support wheel 22 both contact the bottom plate of the feed trough, the arc-shaped scraper of the cleaning component 6 moves with the device to scrape off the residual feed on the side wall, and the bottom edge of the diversion component 7 fits against the bottom plate to scrape off the bottom residue. The two work together to solve the defect that the existing device can only clean the bottom.

[0030] Scenario 2: Used in conjunction with existing mobile metal feeders (commonly found in piglet and chick houses).

[0031] Background of existing technology: The bottom of the mobile metal feed trough is equipped with casters, which can move with the activity area of ​​the livestock. The existing feed cart cannot be fixed to the mobile feed trough, which causes the two to slide relative to each other when feeding, resulting in serious feed spillage. In addition, there is a lack of a design to coordinate the movement with the casters of the feed trough.

[0032] The connection between this device and the existing feeding trough is achieved by hooking the pre-set hook at the rear end of the vehicle frame 1 (on the same side as the towing handle 3) to the hanging ring at the front end of the mobile feeding trough (the conventional structure of the existing mobile feeding trough), so as to realize the rigid linkage between the two and ensure that the feeding vehicle and the mobile feeding trough move synchronously; at the same time, according to the narrow width of the mobile feeding trough (usually 30-50cm), the distance between the cleaning component 6 and the diversion component 7 on the extension connecting rod 11 is reduced (by fixing them to the inner bolt holes with bolts).

[0033] Usage status of each structure:

[0034] Synchronous mobile feeding: When the traction handle 3 is pulled, the feeding vehicle drives the casters of the mobile trough to move synchronously through the hook. The vehicle frame 1 tilts, and the support wheel 22 contacts the bottom of the mobile trough (because the mobile trough is low, the support wheel has a large diameter to match its height). The dividing wheel 21 crushes the feed in the trough. The transmission device 5 links the stirring roller assembly 42 to ensure that the feed is discharged evenly. The diversion assembly 7 pushes the feed to the feeding areas on both sides of the mobile trough (most existing mobile troughs have partitioned feeding grids) to solve the problem of spillage caused by relative sliding.

[0035] Simultaneous cleaning: Push the traction handle 3 to make the vehicle frame 1 horizontal, the cleaning component 6 fits the curved side wall of the mobile feeding trough (a common curved design for metal feeding troughs), the diversion component 7 cleans the bottom, and at the same time the feeding trolley drives the mobile feeding trough to move slowly, realizing "cleaning while moving", without the need to carry the feeding trough for cleaning separately.

[0036] Scenario 3: As an auxiliary device for existing semi-automatic feeding systems (compatible with existing feed delivery pipes)

[0037] Existing technical background: Semi-automatic feeding systems deliver feed to the trough at regular intervals via fixed conveying pipes, but the outlet of the conveying pipe is prone to blockage, and the feed is unevenly distributed in the trough, requiring manual re-mixing. Existing feeding carts cannot be connected to the conveying pipes, making their functions isolated.

[0038] Connection of this device to the existing system: Align the top opening of the feed storage box 4 with the feed delivery pipe outlet of the existing semi-automatic feeding system (the diameter of the delivery pipe outlet is slightly smaller than the opening of the storage box), and fix it to the delivery pipe by means of the pre-set annular clamp (new adaptation structure) on the top of the storage box, so that the feed can enter the storage box 4 directly from the delivery pipe without the need for manual handling of the feed.

[0039] Usage status of each structure:

[0040] Anti-blocking and uniform feeding synergy: When the conveying pipe feeds the storage box 4, if the operator pushes the feeding cart along the feed trough, the walking wheel 2 rotates and drives the transmission device 5, so that the stirring roller assembly 42 simultaneously stirs the feed in the storage box (to prevent blockage of the conveying pipe outlet) and pushes the feed out; the diversion assembly 7 evens out the feed after discharge, replacing the manual secondary uniform feeding and solving the problem of "conveyor-uniform feeding" disconnect in the existing system.

[0041] Periodic cleaning: When the semi-automatic system stops feeding, remove the clamps between the storage box and the conveying pipe, and push the feeding vehicle to perform cleaning operations. The vehicle frame 1 is horizontal, and the cleaning component 6 and the diversion component 7 respectively handle the feed residue remaining on the side wall and bottom of the trough and the feed residue that has not been cleaned in the conveying pipe, forming a closed loop of "conveying-even feeding-cleaning" with the existing system.

[0042] This utility model mainly achieves its function by switching between a feeding operation state and a cleaning operation state. The operation performance of each core structure differs significantly between the two states, and the specific classification is described below:

[0043] I. Feeding Operation Status (Core Function: Feeding and Mixing)

[0044] In this state, when the operator pulls the traction handle, the vehicle frame tilts around the support wheels, and all structures work together to prevent material blockage and ensure even flow distribution.

[0045] Body frame 1: It is tilted with the front end up and the rear end down (tilt angle about 5°-10°). The top extension connecting rod tilts synchronously with the frame to provide stable support for the functional components.

[0046] Walking wheels 2: Support wheels 22 (larger diameter) are in full contact with the bottom plate of the feed trough, bearing the main weight of the device and providing driving force for movement; dividing wheels 21 (smaller diameter) partially contact the center seam of the feed pile diverted by the diversion component, and crush the feed as the device moves, preventing excessive local accumulation. The circumferential anti-slip texture of the wheel body enhances the friction with the bottom plate of the feed trough, preventing slippage when walking at an angle.

[0047] Towing handle 3: The operator applies a backward pulling force. The 135° angle between the bending rod and the vehicle frame 1 is ergonomic. The rubber anti-slip grip increases hand grip and ensures effortless and stable pulling process.

[0048] Feed storage bin 4: As the vehicle frame 1 tilts, the feed inside gathers towards the bottom discharge chute under gravity; the rotating shaft 41 rotates at high speed driven by the transmission device, and the spirally distributed stirring roller assembly 42 on it breaks up the clumps of feed and continuously pushes the feed to the discharge chute to avoid blockage. The transparent box body makes it easy to observe the remaining feed inside.

[0049] Transmission device 5: When the axle of the support wheel 22 rotates, it drives the two sprockets 52 synchronously via the chain 51, converting the walking power into the stirring power of the rotating shaft 41, realizing the "walking-stirring" linkage without the need for an additional power source. The adjustment groove of the fixed bracket ensures the tension of the chain 51 and prevents transmission slippage.

[0050] Cleaning component 6: Due to the tilt of the vehicle body, its arc-shaped scraper maintains a small gap (about 1-2cm) with the side wall of the feeding trough and does not participate in cleaning at the moment, but only moves synchronously with the frame.

[0051] Diversion component 7: The bottom edge of the inverted V-shaped feed equalizer is parallel to the bottom plate of the feed trough. The feed falling from the discharge trough is guided by its inclined surface and evenly distributed to the feeding areas on both sides of the feed trough, ensuring that the feed height is consistent when the livestock are eating.

[0052] During the feeding state, the cleaning component does not use the "cleaning" function, but rather lays the foundation for the uniform distribution of the subsequent distribution component through "preliminary shaping + guiding and current limiting". The coordination logic and structural design are as follows:

[0053] Posture and Spacing Control: When feeding, the vehicle frame is tilted to form a uniform feed drop zone. The arc-shaped scraper of the cleaning component maintains a small gap of 1-2cm with the side wall of the feed trough. This gap not only prevents the scraper from scraping off the feed (the core function of the feeding state is feeding, not cleaning), but also limits the thickness of the feed accumulation against the wall. This prevents the feed from being concentrated on the side wall of the feed trough due to gravity and forming a "thick edge". It forces the falling feed to form a "feed drop zone" with a uniform width and thickness between the scraper and the diversion component, ensuring that the inverted V-shaped structure of the diversion component can fully receive the feed, rather than just processing locally concentrated feed.

[0054] The guiding function of the arc-shaped structure: It guides the feed to converge towards the center of the diversion component. The arc-shaped concave surface of the cleaning component faces the side wall of the feeding trough, and its arc contour has a high degree of fit with the side wall of the feeding trough. It can guide the dispersed feed near the side wall towards the center of the feeding trough (directly above the diversion component). This avoids uneven distribution caused by feed sliding directly down the side wall, so that all falling feed first converges to the inverted V-shaped apex area of ​​the diversion component, providing a premise of "centralized input and unified distribution" for subsequent uniform diversion to both sides.

[0055] Coordination with the Diversion Component: Achieving a seamless "straightening-diversion" connection. The cleaning component is installed at the front end of the extension connecting rod, with the diversion component located behind it. The two are arranged front and back along the length of the vehicle frame, with a spacing controlled at 15-20cm (to accommodate the smoothness of feed falling). The feed, straightened by the cleaning component, will fall steadily and continuously towards the diversion component behind it, preventing feed from scattering or piling up due to excessive spacing. This ensures that the inclined surface of the diversion component can continuously and evenly guide the feed to both sides of the trough, ultimately achieving a synergistic effect of "initial shaping by the cleaning component → precise distribution by the diversion component," resulting in even feed distribution and easy access for livestock.

[0056] II. Cleaning Operation Status (Core Function: Removal of Feed Trough Residue)

[0057] In this state, the operator pushes the towing handle, the vehicle frame returns to level, and all structures work together to perform "simultaneous cleaning of the side walls and bottom":

[0058] Body frame 1: It is in a horizontal position, with the top extension connecting rod parallel to the width direction of the trough, providing horizontal support for the cleaning and diversion components.

[0059] Walking wheel 2: Support wheel 22 and partition wheel 21 are in full contact with the bottom plate of the feeding trough, share the weight of the device and move synchronously, ensuring that the vehicle moves smoothly and avoiding component displacement due to uneven force during cleaning.

[0060] Towing handle 3: When the operator applies forward thrust, the angle design of the bending rod still keeps the hand comfortable, and the non-slip grip prevents the hand from slipping when the thrust is too great.

[0061] Feed storage bin 4: There is no need to add feed inside. The stirring roller assembly 42 rotates slowly with the walking wheel 2 (the speed is lower than the feeding state) to loosen the small amount of residual feed and prevent it from clumping and adhering to the bin wall.

[0062] Transmission device 5: As the speed of the traveling wheel 2 decreases, the transmission speed of the chain 51-sprocket 52 also slows down synchronously, ensuring smooth power transmission and preventing the stirring roller assembly 42 from generating additional noise at low speeds.

[0063] Cleaning component 6: The arc-shaped scraper is adjusted to fit tightly against the side wall of the feed trough (spacing ≤ 0.5cm) by adjusting the bolts. It moves with the device to scrape off the feed residue remaining on the side wall. The arc-shaped concave surface can hold more residue and prevent spillage during cleaning.

[0064] Diversion component 7: The bottom edge of the inverted V-shaped feed equalization plate fits tightly against the bottom plate of the feed trough, and scrapes away the residual feed at the bottom as the device moves; its inverted V-shaped structure can gather the bottom residue to both sides, making it easier to clean or recycle later, while preventing the residue from getting stuck in the gap between the component and the bottom plate.

[0065] The two operating modes can be quickly switched by applying force through the traction handle 3. Each structure automatically adjusts its operating posture according to functional requirements, realizing integrated "feeding-cleaning" operation without disassembly or replacement of components, significantly improving the efficiency of livestock feeding and the convenience of trough maintenance.

[0066] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
