[0025] Combination Figures 1-5 As shown, a feed dispensing device for livestock farming includes a dispensing trough 1, a switching mechanism, a heating control mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism.

[0026] The dispensing tank 1 is elongated and has a double-layer structure. A drain outlet is provided on one end face of the dispensing tank 1 along its long side. A switch mechanism is provided on the dispensing tank 1 to open or close the drain outlet. The heating control mechanism includes a thermostat 4 provided on the side wall of the dispensing tank 1 and a heating element 7 and a temperature sensor attached to the bottom wall of the dispensing tank 1. The thermostat 4 is electrically connected to the heating element 7 and the temperature sensor, respectively. The cleaning mechanism includes a slide 5 provided along the long side of the dispensing tank 1 and a scraping unit slidably provided on the slide 5. The scraping unit acts on the inner wall of the dispensing tank 1.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the hollow part of the feeding tank 1 is also filled with an insulation layer 6. Specifically, the insulation layer 6 can be filled, foamed or laid with common insulation materials such as polyurethane foam, rock wool or polystyrene. Its purpose is to reduce the heat exchange efficiency between the inside and outside of the feeding tank 1, and work in conjunction with the heating control mechanism to prevent the heat of the feed inside from being lost too quickly, and also to reduce energy loss when the heating element 7 is working, so as to achieve a high-efficiency and energy-saving insulation effect.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the switching mechanism includes a chute 12 formed on the feeding tank 1 and connected to the drain outlet. A baffle 2, which covers the drain outlet, is slidably mounted in the chute 12. An adjusting screw 3, which passes through the feeding tank 1 and extends to its exterior, is rotatably mounted on the baffle 2. The adjusting screw 3 is threadedly connected to the feeding tank 1. Sealing strips are provided on the side wall of the chute 12 around the drain outlet and the bottom surface of the baffle 2. Specifically, when cleaning or discharging residual sewage is required, the operator can rotate the adjusting screw 3. Since the adjusting screw 3 is threadedly engaged with the feeding tank 1, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion of the baffle 2 along the chute 12, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet. The sealing strip is usually made of elastic sealing materials such as rubber or silicone. When the baffle 2 is closed, it is compressed under the locking force of the adjusting screw 3, ensuring the sealing reliability at the drain outlet and effectively preventing feed or liquid leakage. This design makes the switching operation simple and effortless, and provides good sealing performance.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the cleaning unit includes a connecting arm 8 slidably mounted on a slide block 5 and a working part detachably mounted on the connecting arm 8. The connecting arm 8 has a C-shaped structure and a slider at one end that slides into the slide groove 12 of the slide block 5. A slot is provided on the other side. A first fixing hole 15 communicating with the slot is also provided on the side wall of the connecting arm 8. A locking bolt 9 is threaded into the first fixing hole 15. The working part includes a grip handle 10. A plug 19 that slides into the slot is provided on the side wall of the grip handle 10. A second fixing hole 18 of the same size that is opposite to the first fixing hole 15 is provided on the side wall of the grip handle 10. A connecting rod 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the grip handle 10. A cleaning block 11 is slidably mounted on the connecting rod 13. A spring 14 is sleeved on the connecting rod 13 between the cleaning block 11 and the grip handle 10, so that the cleaning block 11 always has a downward tendency. Specifically, when installing the working part, align the insert 19 on the handle 10 with the slot of the connecting arm 8 and insert it so that the first fixing hole 15 is aligned with the second fixing hole 18. Then screw in the locking bolt 9 to complete the fixation. This detachable structure makes it easy to replace or clean different working parts. When cleaning, the operator pushes the handle 10 to move the entire cleaning unit along the slide 5. Under the continuous pressure of the spring 14, the cleaning block 11 is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the feeding tank 1, so that the scraper 17 at the bottom of the cleaning block 11 can fit tightly against the bottom of the tank and the inner wall. Even if there is a slight unevenness at the bottom of the tank, the cleaning block 11 can slide on the connecting rod 13 and adjust its height adaptively through the spring 14, thereby ensuring a stable and effective scraping effect and removing all residual feed.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 4 As shown, a connecting groove 16 is provided on the side wall of the cleaning block 11 opposite to the dispensing tank 1, and a scraper 17 that fits against the inner wall of the dispensing tank 1 is detachably installed in the connecting groove 16. Specifically, the scraper 17 can be made of materials with certain elasticity and wear resistance, such as rubber, food-grade silicone, or polyurethane. The scraper 17 is installed in the connecting groove 16 of the cleaning block 11 by snap-fit ​​or embedding. When the scraper 17 wears out due to long-term use, it can be easily removed from the cleaning block 11 and replaced without replacing the entire cleaning block 11 or the working part, which greatly reduces the long-term maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 1 As shown, all bends in the inner wall of the feeding trough 1 are rounded. Specifically, these bends refer to the connections between the bottom of the trough and the side walls, as well as the connections between the side walls. Designing all inner wall corners as smooth, rounded transitions eliminates the problem of traditional right-angled troughs easily accumulating feed residue and creating unsanitary corners. This allows the scraper 17 of the cleaning mechanism to pass smoothly and perform thorough cleaning without obstruction, improving the thoroughness of cleaning and effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold.

[0032] A feed dispensing device for livestock breeding according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] In use, first, set the appropriate operating temperature range using the temperature controller 4. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature at the bottom of the feeding trough 1 in real time and feeds the signal back to the temperature controller 4. When the detected temperature is below the set lower limit, the temperature controller 4 controls the heating element 7 to start, heating and keeping the feed in the trough warm. When the temperature reaches the set upper limit, heating stops, and this cycle continues to ensure that the feed is always at a suitable feeding temperature. The double-layer structure of the feeding trough 1 and the internal insulation layer 6 effectively reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency. After feeding or when more heat is needed... When cleaning, the operator can install the working part of the cleaning unit onto the connecting arm 8, and then push the cleaning unit along the slide 5. Under the pre-tightening force of the spring 14, the scraper 17 at the bottom of the cleaning block 11 fits tightly against the bottom of the trough and the inner wall, scraping the residual feed and dirt towards the drain outlet. By rotating the adjusting screw 3 of the rotating switch mechanism, the baffle 2 is opened, and the scraped dirt and wastewater can be smoothly discharged from the drain outlet. The entire device integrates automatic temperature control and insulation, efficient cleaning and convenient maintenance, improving the feeding efficiency and hygiene level of livestock farming.

[0034] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the embodiments shown throughout the text are only one of the embodiments of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In conclusion, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
