Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to a novel horse feeding trough. Background Technology

[0002] Horse troughs are a widely used basic piece of equipment in livestock farming. Their main function is to provide horses with a fixed feeding area to hold feed such as hay. However, in desert, Gobi, or windy pasture environments, the hay for horses is very likely to be mixed with a large amount of sand, dust, and other impurities during storage and feeding. If horses eat hay mixed with sand for a long time, the fine sand and stones will enter their digestive system with the food, which will not only affect nutrient absorption, but also easily cause diseases such as gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, and even intestinal obstruction, seriously endangering the health of the horses.

[0003] To address this problem, existing methods typically rely on manual labor. Feeders must lift the heavy troughs filled with hay and feed, then forcefully shake or toss them to allow gravity to settle the sand and allow it to leak through the gaps in the feed. This method is not only extremely labor-intensive and inefficient, but also lacks thorough separation, and there is a lack of a device integrated into the feed trough's structure that can efficiently and effortlessly separate the sand.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a novel horse feeding trough to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the existing horse feeding troughs, which lack a structure to automatically separate the hay mixed with sand, resulting in potential health risks to horses and high labor intensity due to manual separation, this utility model aims to provide a new type of horse feeding trough with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0006] This utility model provides a novel horse feeding trough, including a trough body, a filter screen fixed to the bottom of the trough body, and a shaking component. The swaying assembly includes a base, a swaying plate, and a driving mechanism. The base includes a first support plate and a second support plate arranged parallel to each other. The top of the swaying plate is used to support the manger body, and the swaying plate is rotatably connected to the top of the second support plate via a rotating disk.

[0007] The drive mechanism is rotatably mounted on the first support plate, and includes a handwheel, a rotating shaft coaxially and fixedly connected to the handwheel, and an eccentric plate fixed to the rotating shaft. The outer periphery of the eccentric plate is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the filter screen forms part of the filter assembly, and the filter screen has multiple filter holes on its surface.

[0009] Preferably, the filter assembly further includes a knob, and the filter screen is detachably fixed to the bottom of the manger body by means of the knob located at its center.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the rocking plate is fixedly connected to a fixing block that matches the shape of the bottom of the manger body.

[0011] Preferably, the wobbling assembly further includes a pin for limiting the rotation of the drive mechanism in the inserted state.

[0012] Furthermore, the pin can be inserted and removed through the first support plate and engaged in the spokes of the handwheel.

[0013] Preferably, the centerline of the eccentric plate is parallel to the centerline of the rotating shaft and there is a preset eccentricity.

[0014] Preferably, handles are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the trough body.

[0015] Preferably, the second support plate is located below the swaying plate.

[0016] Preferably, the rotating disk is fixed to the top surface of the second support plate.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention solves the problems of existing technologies, such as the easy mixing of hay with sand, the harm to horses' health if they accidentally ingest the sand, and the high labor intensity of manually separating sand, by setting a filter screen with filter holes at the bottom of the trough body and a set of shaking components that can drive the trough body to produce stable reciprocating swing. It automatically and efficiently separates sand from hay, improving the cleanliness of the feed.

[0018] This invention solves the problem of traditional sand separation methods that require manual lifting or moving of the entire heavy trough for shaking, which is cumbersome and physically demanding. By setting up a mechanical drive mechanism consisting of a handwheel, an eccentric plate, and a shaking plate, the present invention enables the operator to easily perform screening by simply turning the handwheel, reducing labor intensity. Furthermore, this purely mechanical structure does not require an external power supply, enhancing the applicability of the device in the field or remote areas.

[0019] This invention solves the problems of inconvenience in switching between working and non-working states of the screening device and the instability that may occur during feeding by setting a pluggable pin for locking or releasing the shaking component. It enables the horse feeding trough to switch safely and quickly between dynamic screening and static feeding modes, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire feeding process.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a novel horse feeding trough, which aims to solve the problem that existing horse feeding troughs do not have a structure for automatically separating hay mixed with sand, which leads to potential health risks for horses and high labor intensity for manual separation.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, the novel horse feeding trough includes a filtering assembly 1 and a swaying assembly 2 disposed below the filtering assembly 1. The filtering assembly 1 includes a trough body 101 for holding hay. The swaying assembly 2 supports the trough body 101 and drives it to reciprocate. Specifically, the swaying assembly 2 includes a base, a swaying plate 202, and a driving mechanism. The base includes a first support plate 206 and a second support plate 208 arranged parallel to each other. The top of the swaying plate 202 supports the trough body 101. The swaying plate 202 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 208 via a rotating disk 203. At the top of the support plate 208, the drive mechanism is rotatably mounted on the first support plate 206. The drive mechanism includes a handwheel 207, a rotating shaft 204 coaxially fixedly connected to the handwheel 207, and an eccentric plate 205 fixed to the rotating shaft 204. The outer periphery of the eccentric plate 205 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 204. When the handwheel 207 is rotated, the handwheel 207 drives the rotating shaft 204 and the eccentric plate 205 to rotate synchronously. The eccentric plate 205 continuously pushes the swaying plate 202 through its eccentric structure, thereby driving the swaying plate 202 to oscillate back and forth around the rotating disk 203.

[0025] To achieve effective separation of forage and sand, the internal structure of the filter component 1 and the stable bearing and cooperation relationship formed between it and the shaking component 2 can be utilized.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The filter assembly 1 includes a trough body 101. A filter screen 104 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the trough body 101 via a knob 103 located at its center. Multiple filter holes 105 are evenly distributed on the surface of the filter screen 104. This detachable fixing method facilitates the replacement of the filter screen 104 or the deep cleaning of the interior of the trough body 101. Handles 102 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the outer wall of the trough body 101, making it convenient to move and place the trough body 101.

[0027] Meanwhile, to ensure the stability of the manger body 101 during the shaking process, a fixing block 201 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the shaking plate 202. The shape of the fixing block 201 is adapted to the bottom outer contour of the manger body 101. In the assembled state, the bottom of the manger body 101 sits on the fixing block 201. Through this shape-adaptive mating structure, the reciprocating oscillation generated by the drive mechanism can be efficiently and stably transmitted to the manger body 101, avoiding relative sliding or overturning during the shaking process.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention may further include the following preferred technical solutions: In a preferred embodiment, the filter screen 104 forms part of the filter assembly 1, and a plurality of filter holes 105 are provided on the mesh surface of the filter screen 104. The size of the filter holes 105 is set to allow sand particles to pass through while blocking grass from passing through.

[0029] Furthermore, the filter assembly 1 also includes a knob 103, and the filter screen 104 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the manger body 101 by the knob 103 located at its center. This structure facilitates the replacement of the filter screen 104.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the wobbling assembly 2 also includes a pin 209, which is used to restrict the rotation of the drive mechanism in the inserted state. Specifically, the pin 209 can be inserted and removed through the first support plate 206 and engaged in the spokes of the handwheel 207, thereby locking the entire drive mechanism.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the axis of the eccentric plate 205 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 204 and there is a preset eccentricity. The size of the eccentricity determines the swing amplitude of the swaying plate 202.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the second support plate 208 is located below the swaying plate 202, providing stable support for the swaying plate 202, while the rotating disk 203 is fixed to the top surface of the second support plate 208, serving as the rotation center for the swaying of the swaying plate 202.

[0033] The working principle of this novel horse feeding trough is as follows: When it is necessary to sift the hay mixed with sand, the hay is put into the trough body 101 and supported on the filter screen 104. Then, the entire trough body 101 is placed on the fixed block 201 on the top of the rocking plate 202. The pin 209 used to lock the drive mechanism is pulled out. The operator turns the handwheel 207. The handwheel 207 drives the rotating shaft 204, which is fixedly connected to it on the same axis, to rotate synchronously. The eccentric plate 205 fixed to the rotating shaft 204 also rotates accordingly. Since the outer periphery of the eccentric plate 205 slides in contact with the side wall of the rocking plate 202, its eccentric rotation will continuously push the rocking plate 202 to swing back and forth around the rotating disk 203 fixed to the top of the second support plate 208.

[0034] The swinging of the swaying plate 202 causes the trough body 101 above it to shake, causing the hay inside the trough body 101 to rub and slide continuously on the surface of the filter screen 104. The sand mixed in with the hay sinks due to gravity and falls through the multiple filter holes 105 on the surface of the filter screen 104, while the hay is left on the filter screen 104, thus achieving the separation of hay and sand. After screening, the handwheel 207 is stopped, and the pin 209 is reinserted into the first support plate 206 and locked into the spokes of the handwheel 207 to lock the drive mechanism. At this time, the trough body 101 returns to a stationary state for the horses to eat normally.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
