Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming equipment technology, and more specifically, to a chick feeding tray that is easy to disassemble and clean. Background Technology

[0002] In the current breeding industry, feeding trays are one of the most commonly used feeding devices in the chick breeding process. They are used to quickly feed a large number of chicks in factory farming. However, chicks are small, weak and prone to disease. In order to reduce bacterial growth, feeding trays need to be collected and cleaned regularly. However, the existing feeding trays are all collected manually and then cleaned in a centralized manner.

[0003] Some feeding trays use a design where the feed hopper and the tray are fixed and locked together. Although this makes it easy to recycle and move the whole thing, it requires disassembly of each piece during cleaning, which is cumbersome and the cleaning effect is not good or thorough. This can easily lead to the growth of bacteria and affect the health of chicks.

[0004] Some feeding trays use a separate structure for the feed cylinder and the feed tray, allowing for separate recycling. However, while the separate feeding tray components are easier to clean, if there is still residual feed in the cylinder during the recycling process, it can easily spill out from the bottom opening of the separate section, causing feed waste and environmental pollution. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a chick feeding tray that is easy to disassemble and clean, thus solving the technical problem of quickly disassembling, recycling and cleaning the chick feeding tray.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] A chick feeding tray that is easy to disassemble and clean includes a feed cylinder, a feed tray, and a top cover. The feed cylinder is placed on the feed tray, and the top cover is installed on the top of the feed cylinder. A groove is opened at the contact end between the feed cylinder and the feed tray.

[0008] Preferably, the material cylinder is provided with a material blocking structure, and the material tray is provided with two vertical top columns.

[0009] Preferably, the material blocking structure includes two baffles, which are rotatably mounted on a shaft, which is laterally fixed inside the material cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle is semi-circular, and a torsion spring is fixedly connected between the baffle and the shaft. The semi-circular diameter of the baffle is smaller than the inner diameter of the material cylinder, and a baffle plate is correspondingly provided at one bottom end of each baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the positions of the two top pillars correspond to the ends of the two baffles closest to the baffle plates.

[0012] Preferably, the two baffles rotate in opposite directions on the shaft.

[0013] Preferably, a magnetic block is provided on one end of the upper surface of each of the baffles, and one end of the magnetic block on the corresponding baffle extends to the upper surface of the other baffle.

[0014] Preferably, the baffle structure further includes a rubber ring.

[0015] Each of the baffles has a rubber ring covering its semi-circular outer edge, and the outer diameter of the rubber ring is not less than the inner diameter of the barrel.

[0016] Preferably, a quick-locking structure is also provided between the top cover and the material cylinder.

[0017] Preferably, the quick-lock structure includes a locking plate, which is fixed to the top inner wall of the material cylinder. The locking plate has a vertically penetrating groove, and one side of the locking plate is set as the opening of the groove. A sliding column is slidably arranged in the groove, the top of the sliding column is fixed to the top cover, and a stop block is fixed to the bottom of the sliding column.

[0018] Preferably, the baffle plate corresponding to each baffle is located only at one corner of the semicircle of the corresponding baffle.

[0019] Preferably, the outer end of the baffle passes through the outer wall of the discharge cylinder, and the outer end of the baffle is provided with a color mark.

[0020] Preferably, when the material cylinder is in contact with the material tray, the bottom of the baffle is in contact with the top of the corresponding top column, and the surface of the baffle is an inclined surface.

[0021] Preferably, when the material cylinder is separated from the material tray, the bottom of the baffle contacts the corresponding baffle plate, and the surface of the baffle is a horizontal surface.

[0022] Preferably, when cleaning the material cylinder, the magnetic blocks on the two baffles are fitted together, and the baffle surfaces are vertical.

[0023] The technical solution of this application has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention features two swingable baffles inside the feed cylinder and a vertical top column on the feed tray. The baffles can seal the lower part of the feed cylinder when it is not in use, allowing for temporary storage of chicken feed inside the cylinder. When the feed cylinder is placed on the feed tray, the top column opens the closed baffles, allowing the stored chicken feed to fall into the feed tray below for feeding.

[0025] This invention uses a magnetic block on the baffle and a quick-lock structure between the top cover and the material cylinder to quickly assemble and disassemble the material cylinder and the top cover, and to keep the baffle in a vertical position, thus making it easy to clean the material cylinder and the material blocking structure on it.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a chick feeding tray that is easy to disassemble and clean. It includes a commonly used feeding tray, which includes a feed cylinder 1, a feed tray 2, and a top cover 3. The feed cylinder 1 is placed on the feed tray 2, and the top cover 3 is installed on the top of the feed cylinder 1. A slot is opened at the contact end of the feed cylinder 1 and the feed tray 2. When the worker opens the top cover 3 and puts chicken feed into the feed cylinder 1, the chicken feed can spread from the slot at the bottom of the feed cylinder 1 to the external feed tray 2 for the chicks to eat.

[0041] Furthermore, commonly used feeding trays need to be regularly recycled and cleaned to reduce the accumulation of scraps and the growth of bacteria, thereby improving the survival rate of chicks. However, feeding trays with leftover chicken feed are difficult to recycle.

[0042] The reasons why it is difficult to recycle are as follows: The feeding trays 2 and 1 are locked together, which makes it easy to lift and recycle them together, but it is more cumbersome to disassemble and clean them later (manual unlocking is required); the feeding trays 2 and 1 are separate feeding trays, which are easy to disassemble and clean (the two can be recycled separately), but it is necessary to ensure that there is no chicken feed in 1 when recycling to avoid spilling when lifting 1.

[0043] For the above-mentioned problems, please refer to... Figures 2-10 In this embodiment, a feed baffle structure 5 and a top column 6 are added to the commonly used feeding tray. When the feed cylinder 1 is placed normally on the feed tray 2, the feed tray 2 can be discharged normally. When the split feed cylinder 1 is recovered, the bottom space of the feed cylinder 1 can be sealed to limit the continued leakage of the chicken feed remaining in the feed cylinder 1, and the feed cylinder 1 can be quickly recovered for subsequent cleaning.

[0044] The material blocking structure 5 includes a baffle 51, a rubber ring 52, and a torsion spring 53.

[0045] For details, please refer to Figures 2-5 Inside the material cylinder 1, a shaft 4 is fixed horizontally. Two baffles 51 are rotatably mounted on the shaft 4. The baffles 51 are semi-circular. A torsion spring 53 is fixedly connected between the baffles 51 and the shaft 4. When the baffles 51 rotate on the shaft 4, they will drive the torsion spring 53 to rotate, thus receiving the torsion force of the torsion spring 53. When the external force disappears, the baffles 51 will return to their original position.

[0046] Please refer to the following: Figures 4-5 A baffle plate 7 is embedded and fixed on the feed cylinder 1, and the baffle plate 7 passes through the interior of the feed cylinder 1. The number and position of the baffle plate 7 correspond one-to-one with the number and position of the baffle plate 51. When the baffle plate 51 is reset by the torsion spring 53, it will be blocked by the baffle plate 7 below it, restricting its further downward swing, so that after the baffle plate 51 contacts the baffle plate 7, the surface of the baffle plate 51 is at a horizontal position. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 and Figure 10 At this time, the two semi-circular baffles 51 are set horizontally to form a circular plate surface, which blocks the bottom of the entire feed cylinder 1 and restricts the downward swing of the baffles 51. Chicken feed can be put into the feed cylinder 1 for storage.

[0047] It is worth noting that the baffle 7 corresponding to each baffle 51 is located only at one corner of the semicircle of the corresponding baffle 51, so that the other end of the corresponding baffle 51 can always swing downward, thereby maintaining the normal swinging operation of the baffle 51.

[0048] In addition, the semi-circular diameter of the baffle 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the material cylinder 1, so that when the baffle 51 swings, it will not interfere with the inner wall of the material cylinder 1, thus preventing it from swinging. However, the baffle 51 may not be able to completely cover the lower part of the material cylinder 1, resulting in material leakage. Therefore, an elastic rubber ring 52 is wrapped around the outer edge of the semi-circular arc of each baffle 51. The outer diameter of the rubber ring 52 is not smaller than the inner diameter of the material cylinder 1. When the baffle 51 is set horizontally to block the material, the rubber ring 52 will contact the inner wall of the material cylinder 1, so that the lower part of the material cylinder 1 is completely sealed, reducing material leakage. When the baffle 51 swings, the rubber ring 52 achieves normal swinging of the baffle 51 through elastic deformation generated by compression.

[0049] Additionally, please refer to Figure 2In order to achieve automatic swinging of the baffle 51, two top posts 6 are vertically fixed on the surface of the feed tray 2. The position of the top posts 6 corresponds to the end of the baffle 51 near the baffle plate 7. When the baffle 51 is horizontally set by the torsion spring 53 and the baffle plate 7 to block the lower part of the feed cylinder 1, the feed cylinder 1 is placed vertically on the feed tray 2, so that the top posts 6 push against the baffle 51 at the baffle plate 7, causing the corresponding end of the baffle 51 to swing upward, thereby opening the space blocked at the lower part of the feed cylinder 1. Thus, after the feed cylinder 1 containing chicken feed is placed on the feed tray 2, the chicken feed in the feed cylinder 1 can fall into the feed tray 2 below through the gap of the swinging baffle 51, maintaining normal chicken feeding.

[0050] It is worth noting that the top of the top column 6 is elliptical to avoid repeated collisions with the baffle 51, which could cause the baffle 51 to break quickly. During the process of feeding the feed cylinder 1 into the feed tray 2, the entire weight of the feed cylinder 1 will press on the top column 6, causing the top column 6 to open one end of the baffle 51 by gravity. The chicken feed will then act on the other end of the baffle 51 where the baffle plate 7 is set, causing the baffle 51 to swing completely, thereby opening the lower part of the feed cylinder 1 and allowing the chicken feed to fall normally.

[0051] Preferably, two semi-circular baffles 51 are provided, and their swing directions are opposite when they are pushed open by the top column 6. This allows the chicken feed in the feed cylinder 1 to fall in two different directions along the two baffles 51. Compared with a single-direction channel formed by the swing of a single baffle 51, this can further improve the dispersion of the falling chicken feed on the feed tray 2, improve the uniformity of the distribution of chicken feed on the feed tray 2, and facilitate more chicks to eat at the same time.

[0052] It is worth noting that since the feed hopper 1 is usually placed manually on the feed tray 2, it is easy for workers to place the feed hopper 1 arbitrarily, making it impossible to match it with the fixed top post 6 on the feed tray 2. This can result in the feed hopper 1 not being able to be fully placed into the feed tray 2 or the chicken feed not falling into the feed tray 2 after placement. To address this issue, the outer end of the baffle 7 on the feed hopper 1 extends through the outer wall of the feed hopper 1, and the outer end of the baffle 7 is painted with a conspicuous color mark. Since the position of the baffle 7 corresponds to one semi-circular corner of the baffle 51 and also corresponds to the position of the top post 6, the brightly colored baffle 7 can indicate the correct placement angle of the feed hopper when workers place it, making it easier to quickly match it with the top post 6 on the feed tray 2. This reduces the occurrence of misplaced feed hopper 1, which could affect the feeding of chicks.

[0053] Preferably, the placement process of the feeding tray in this embodiment is as follows: First, place the feed tray 2 on the ground alone, then open the top cover 3 of the feed cylinder 1 and pour a certain amount of chicken feed into the feed cylinder 1. At this time, the lower part of the feed cylinder 1 is blocked and closed by the baffle 51, and the chicken feed is stored in the feed cylinder 1. After pouring, close the top cover 3 and place the feed cylinder 1 directly on the corresponding feed tray 2. At this time, the baffle 51 at the bottom of the feed cylinder 1 is opened by the top column 6, and the chicken feed falls into the feed tray 2.

[0054] Preferably, the feeding tray recycling process in this embodiment is as follows: the feed cylinder 1 is lifted directly by hand, so that the feed cylinder 1 is separated from the feed tray 2. At this time, the top column 6 leaves the baffle 51, the baffle 51 gradually returns to its original position, and the lower part of the feed cylinder 1 is sealed and closed. The remaining chicken feed in the feed cylinder 1 is stored in the feed cylinder 1. Then, after the remaining chicken feed in the feed tray 2 is emptied by the chicks, the feed tray 2 is recycled.

[0055] Furthermore, in order to enable the feeding tray to be quickly retracted and disassembled, the top cover 3, which needs to be opened and closed frequently, also needs to be quick-released with the feed cylinder 1. Therefore, a quick-locking structure 9 is set between the top cover 3 and the feed cylinder 1.

[0056] The quick-lock structure 9 includes a locking plate 91, a locking groove 92, and a sliding column 93.

[0057] For details, please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the card plate 91 is fixed on the top inner wall of the material cylinder 1. The card plate 91 has a vertically penetrating groove 92, and one side of the card plate 91 is set as the opening of the groove 92. A sliding column 93 is slidably arranged in the groove 92. The top of the sliding column 93 is fixed on the top cover 3, and the bottom of the sliding column 93 is fixed with a stop block, so that the vertical displacement of the sliding column 93 is restricted by the stop block and the top cover 3.

[0058] Preferably, when the top cover 3 is quickly locked onto the material cylinder 1, the top cover 3 can be fixed by simply sliding the sliding column 93 into the slot 92 and rotating it to prevent it from detaching from the material cylinder 1; when the top cover 3 needs to be removed, the material cylinder 1 and the top cover 3 can be quickly separated by simply rotating it back.

[0059] Furthermore, after separating and recycling the feed cylinder 1 and the feed tray 2, a quick cleaning is required. However, in this embodiment, after the feed cylinder 1 is separated and recycled from the feed tray 2 (at this time, the residual chicken feed inside has been cleaned and collected), the baffle 51 inside is in a blocked state. When cleaning, it is not easy to clean the gaps at the blockage and the upper and lower surfaces of the baffle 51.

[0060] Therefore, a magnetic block 8 is also provided at one end of each baffle 51. The magnetic block 8 is embedded in the upper surface of the baffle 51, and one end of the magnetic block 8 on the corresponding baffle 51 extends to the upper surface of the other baffle 51. When the two baffles 51 are manually swung inward and closed at the same time, the two magnetic blocks 8 at the ends of the two baffles 51 will approach and stick together. The two magnetic blocks 8 are attracted together by magnetic force, so that the two baffles 51 are magnetically stuck together. At this time, the two baffles 51 will also be under the torsional force of the torsion spring 53 inside (two The two baffles 51 swing in opposite directions, and therefore the corresponding torque directions are also opposite, maintaining a certain force balance. Thus, under the combined action of magnetic attraction and torque, the vertical plate surface is maintained (the midpoint of the thickness of the two baffles 51 does not correspond to the axis of the shaft 4, so there is a gap between the two baffles 51 after they swing vertically, which allows the two magnetic blocks 8 to form a fitting space). At this time, during the rinsing process of the material cylinder 1, whether it is rinsing or soaking, it is easier to clean the baffles 51 and the material cylinder 1.

[0061] It is worth noting that when the feed cylinder 1 is placed on the feed tray 2, although the two baffles 51 will swing inward and close due to the top column 6, the magnetic blocks 8 set on the two baffles 51 will not be attracted together by magnetic attraction at this time due to the obstruction of chicken feed between the two baffles 51 and the fixed height of the top column 6 causing the baffles 51 to swing to the vertical. This allows the normal discharge of feed after the feed cylinder 1 is placed and the function of blocking chicken feed after it is lifted to be maintained.

[0062] The various embodiments of this utility model have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this utility model, some details known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art will fully understand how to implement the technical solution of this utility model based on the above description. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
