Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed basin fixing technology, specifically relating to an improved musk deer feed basin fixing bracket. Background Technology

[0002] As a Class I protected animal in China, artificial breeding is a key approach to the conservation of its population and the sustainable utilization of its resources. In the breeding process, the feed trough support is the core feeding equipment, which must simultaneously meet the feeding needs of musk deer of different ages, the need for various feeds, and the need for stable use under the breeding environment.

[0003] The current market offerings of musk deer feeder stands have significant technical defects: First, they lack height adjustment capabilities, with most being designed at a fixed height, failing to accommodate the height differences between young and adult musk deer, easily leading to difficulty for young musk deer to feed and neck strain for adult musk deer; second, they have limited functional adaptability, with most stands only capable of supporting a single type of container; third, they have poor stability, with existing stands relying on single-point ground fixation, making them prone to tilting when faced with the arching and collisions of musk deer while feeding; some stands do not consider the issue of center of gravity shift when supporting multiple containers, further reducing stability when water, hay, and feed are placed simultaneously, affecting the normal feeding of musk deer and increasing the workload of breeders. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an improved musk deer feed basin fixing bracket.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: An improved musk deer feeder fixing bracket includes a circular base, a vertical threaded rod, and a rotating platform. The vertical threaded rod is fixedly connected to the center of the circular base, and a spherical limiting device is provided at the top of the vertical threaded rod. The rotating platform includes a hollow tube with an internal thread on its inner wall that matches the vertical threaded rod, and is threadedly fitted onto the vertical threaded rod. At least three radial reinforcing arms are welded to the outer side of the hollow tube, and the other end of each radial reinforcing arm is welded to the inner wall of a reinforcing ring. At least two basin support rings are fixedly connected to the outer side of the reinforcing ring. The tube wall of the hollow tube has locking holes, and the rotating platform is fixed by pins.

[0006] Preferably, the circular base has three independent accommodating cavities evenly arranged inside, and counterweights are placed in the independent accommodating cavities.

[0007] Preferably, the circular base has six bolt holes along its circumference, and the base is fixed to the ground by bolts.

[0008] Preferably, there are four radial reinforcing arms, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the hollow tube.

[0009] Preferably, there are three supporting rings along the circumference of the reinforcing ring, which are arranged from largest to smallest as follows: a supporting ring for the hay basin, a supporting ring for the concentrate feed basin, and a supporting ring for the water basin.

[0010] Preferably, magnets are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the basin support ring. The magnets are embedded in the grooves on the upper surface of the basin support ring, and their surfaces are flush with the frame surface and sealed with food-grade epoxy resin.

[0011] Preferably, the basin support ring contains a basin body, the edge of which is rectangular and the body of which is elliptical.

[0012] Preferably, the basin is made of food-grade stainless steel, and its edge is provided with a metal sheet that matches the magnet.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model has a stable structure and strong anti-tipping ability. It comprehensively adopts three measures: counterweight stabilization, mechanical fixation, and structural reinforcement, forming a three-dimensional anti-tipping system that can effectively resist the musk deer's bumping, scratching, and prying from various angles, greatly reducing the risk of feed troughs being overturned, and ensuring the cleanliness of the breeding environment and the utilization rate of feed.

[0014] 2. This utility model offers flexible adjustment and wide adaptability. Utilizing the threaded engagement between a vertical threaded rod and a hollow tube, the height of the rotating platform can be infinitely adjusted to meet the feeding height requirements of musk deer of different ages. The rotating platform can rotate 360° and is locked with a pin, allowing breeders to easily adjust the position of the basin according to their feeding habits, thus improving operational convenience.

[0015] 3. This utility model is multifunctional and has a high space utilization rate. It features three differently sized basin support rings, which can simultaneously accommodate hay basins, concentrated feed basins, and water basins, achieving three uses in one unit. This design not only saves space in the enclosure but, more importantly, achieves physical isolation between hay and water, preventing problems such as drinking water contaminating feed and hay becoming damp and spoiled. This aligns with the feeding habits of musk deer and helps protect their health.

[0016] 4. This utility model is reliably fixed and has excellent safety. The magnet on the basin support ring magnetically attracts and fixes the basin to the metal plate. Combined with the contour limit of the irregular frame, this provides double protection so that the feeding basin does not shake or fall off when the musk deer is feeding. The magnet is sealed with food-grade epoxy resin, eliminating the safety hazards of corrosion and accidental ingestion by animals, thus balancing convenience and safety. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and equipment used are commercially available or commonly used in the art. The methods in the embodiments, unless otherwise specified, are conventional methods in the art. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0020] An improved musk deer feeder support includes a circular base 1, a vertical threaded rod 2, and a rotating platform 3. The circular base 1 is formed by stamping from a 5mm thick stainless steel sheet, with rounded edges to prevent scratching the musk deer. Six bolt holes 12 are evenly spaced along the perimeter of the base, with the center of each hole 5cm from the edge, for fixing to the cement floor of the breeding shed. The base's interior is divided into three evenly distributed independent accommodating cavities 11 by stainless steel partitions. Each cavity holds a 6kg cast iron weight. The cast iron weight is sized to fit the independent accommodating cavity 11 and can be removed via a snap-on cover on the side of the base for disinfection. The combined effect of the weight and bolt fixation enhances the base's resistance to tipping.

[0021] A vertical threaded rod 2 is fully welded to the center of the upper surface of the circular base 1. The weld is treated with rust prevention and coated with food-grade rust-preventive paint. The vertical threaded rod 2 is made of 20mm diameter steel with fine threads to enhance the stability of its fit with the hollow tube 31. A spherical limiting device 21 is welded to the top of the vertical threaded rod 2. This device is a solid stainless steel sphere with a polished surface to prevent the musk deer from being injured by collisions while feeding, and also to prevent the rotating platform 3 from detaching from the top of the threaded rod.

[0022] The rotating platform 3 includes a hollow tube 31 made of stainless steel. The inner wall of the hollow tube is machined with internal threads that match the vertical threaded rod 2. A locking hole 35 is provided in the middle of the tube wall for pin fixing. Four radial reinforcing arms 32, made of stainless steel flat steel, are welded to the outer wall of the hollow tube 31 and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the hollow tube 31, with an included angle of 90° between adjacent radial reinforcing arms 32. A reinforcing ring 33 is fully welded to the other end of each radial reinforcing arm 32, forming a rigid connection structure of "hollow tube 31 - radial reinforcing arm 32 - reinforcing ring 33" together with the hollow tube 31. The reinforcing ring 33 is a stainless steel ring and serves as the load-bearing core of the rotating platform 3. A basin support ring 34 is welded to the side of the reinforcing ring 33. The basin support ring 34 consists of three stainless steel rings of different sizes, from largest to smallest: hay basin support ring 341, concentrate feed basin support ring 342, and water basin support ring 343. The forage support ring has the largest inner diameter and is used to hold the green forage basin 41. Three limiting protrusions are welded inside the ring to prevent the basin 4 from sliding. The concentrate feed basin support ring 342 has a medium inner diameter and is used to hold the pellet or paste concentrate feed basin 42. The water basin support ring 343 has the smallest inner diameter and is used to hold the drinking water basin 43. The upper surface of each basin support ring 34 has evenly spaced grooves, in which neodymium iron boron magnets 36 are embedded. After the surface of the magnets 36 is flush with the surface of the support ring, it is sealed with food-grade epoxy resin to prevent the magnets 36 from rusting or being bitten off by the musk deer. The basin 4 is made of food-grade stainless steel. The basin edge is rectangular to facilitate the musk deer to lower its head to eat, and the basin body is oval to fit the musk deer's mouth and nose shape, reducing feed residue. A stainless steel sheet is attached to the lower surface of the edge of the basin 4, corresponding to the position of the magnet 36 on the support ring. The sheet is fixed with food-grade silicone to ensure that the basin 4 can be firmly attracted by the magnet 36 when placed on the support ring, preventing the musk deer from arching and causing the basin 4 to tip over.

[0023] In use: Select a flat cement floor inside the musk deer breeding shed, placing it as close as possible to the perch and away from the ventilation opening. Place the circular base 1 in the designated position, aligning the bolt holes 12 on the base with the pre-drilled holes in the ground. Use expansion bolts to pass through the bolt holes 12 on the base to fix it to the ground. Then, open the snap-on cover on the side of the base and place the three cast iron counterweights into the independent receiving cavities 11 respectively. Close the cover to complete the base assembly. Hold the rotating platform 3 and reinforcing ring 33, and use the threaded connection to rotate the hollow tube 31 clockwise to adjust the height of the rotating platform 3, allowing it to descend to the target height along the threaded rod. Insert the pin into the locking hole 35 of the hollow tube 31 to fix the height and angle of the rotating platform 3. Place the hay trough 41, concentrated feed trough 42, and water trough 43 on the corresponding support rings, ensuring that the metal pieces on the edge of the trough 4 are precisely aligned with the magnets 36 on the support rings, and fix the trough 4 by magnetic attraction.

[0024] During daily feeding, the pin can be pulled out to rotate the platform 3 and rotate the corresponding support ring to the side closer to the breeding channel for easy addition of hay, feed or water change; when cleaning, simply lift the basin 4 upwards to remove the basin 4 for rinsing. The sealing magnet 36 on the surface of the support ring does not need to be disassembled and can be wiped directly with a damp cloth.
