Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is an automatic feeding trough for livestock, belonging to the field of livestock equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, traditional feeding methods often involve manual, timed feeding, which suffers from low efficiency, significant feed waste, and poor hygiene. Therefore, automatic feeding troughs have emerged. While existing automatic feeding troughs can automatically dispense feed, they generally suffer from uneven feeding, difficulty in cleaning, and clogging, leading to low feed utilization, uneven animal feeding, and poor hygiene.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN223142661U proposes an automatic feeding trough for livestock. By setting a screw rod in the feeding component, it can achieve continuous and uniform feeding, providing an appropriate amount of feed and avoiding waste and overfeeding. By setting a handle, the operator can remove the feed trough from the installation slot for cleaning. However, the feed trough in this automatic feeding trough still needs to be cleaned manually, which is inconvenient. Moreover, not all livestock feed is dry pellets—for example, wet feed for piglets is prone to clumping when fed by the screw rod. There is an urgent need for an automatic feeding trough for livestock to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A second brush roller is installed at the lower end of the connecting shaft. A transmission wheel is installed at the upper end of the connecting shaft and the upper shaft end of the dual-axis motor. The two transmission wheels are synchronously connected by a transmission belt. A scraper is longitudinally installed on the left side of the lower end of the fixed side plate, and a scraper blade is installed at the lower end of the scraper.

[0006] Furthermore, a removal trough is provided at the right end of the main body of the livestock feed trough, a movable gate is inserted longitudinally in the removal trough, and a support frame is installed at the upper end of the removal trough.

[0007] Furthermore, an electric push rod is installed at the upper end of the support frame, and the movable end of the electric push rod is connected to the movable stop door.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding livestock trough, including a livestock trough body 1 and a feed hopper 8. A screw box 7 is installed on the upper back of the livestock trough body 1, and a servo motor 6 is installed on the right end of the screw box 7. The feed hopper 8 is movably located above the screw box 7. A screw conveyor 9 is installed on the lower front side of the feed hopper 8, and a fixed motor 10 is installed on the front end of the screw conveyor 9. A conical feeding hopper 11 is installed on the lower front side of the screw conveyor 9. Springs 12 are longitudinally installed around the lower end of the conical feeding hopper 11. A dispersion frame 15 is horizontally installed at the lower end of the multiple springs 12. Multiple grid bars 13 are horizontally installed inside the lower end of the dispersion frame 15. A vibrator 14 is bolted to the front end of the dispersion frame 15. A conical feeding hopper 11 is bolted to the right side. The device is equipped with a fixed side plate 16. A dual-axis motor 17 is embedded in the front of the upper end of the fixed side plate 16. A first brush roller 18 is installed at the lower end of the dual-axis motor 17. A bearing is embedded in the rear of the upper end of the fixed side plate 16, and a connecting shaft 21 is installed through the bearing. A second brush roller 22 is installed at the lower end of the connecting shaft 21. A transmission wheel 19 is installed at the upper end of the connecting shaft 21 and the upper shaft end of the dual-axis motor 17. The two transmission wheels 19 are synchronously connected by a transmission belt 20. A scraper 23 is installed longitudinally on the left side of the lower end of the fixed side plate 16, and a scraper blade 24 is installed at the lower end of the scraper 23. This design solves the problem that the feed trough in the original automatic feeding livestock feed trough needs to be manually cleaned, which is inconvenient. Moreover, livestock feed is not all dry pellets, and it is easy to clump when it is fed by the screw rod.

[0019] As the first embodiment of this utility model: a removal trough 2 is provided at the right end of the livestock feed trough body 1. A movable barrier 3 is inserted longitudinally inside the removal trough 2. A support frame 4 is installed at the upper end of the removal trough 2. The movable barrier 3 is used to close or open the removal trough 2. An electric push rod 5 is installed at the upper end of the support frame 4. The movable end of the electric push rod 5 is connected to the movable barrier 3. The movable end of the electric push rod 5 can adjust the movable barrier 3 to open and close automatically, which is convenient for cleaning or maintenance.

[0020] The screw box 7 has a built-in transmission screw, and the servo motor 6 is connected to the transmission screw. A threaded sleeve is installed on the outside of the transmission screw. A movable plate is set at the lower end of the feed hopper 8, and the movable plate is fixed to the upper end of the threaded sleeve. The transmission screw is driven to rotate by the added servo motor 6, which drives the feed hopper 8 to move laterally along the screw box 7 to achieve uniform distribution of feed.

[0021] The screw conveyor 9 has a built-in screw conveyor rod, and a fixed motor 10 is connected to the screw conveyor rod. The screw conveyor rod is driven to rotate by the added fixed motor 10, which conveys the feed from the feed hopper 8 to the conical discharge hopper 11. Then it falls into the dispersing frame 15. When the vibrator 14 is working, the spring 12 drives the dispersing frame 15 to vibrate, so that the feed is evenly dispersed through the grid bars 13 to prevent clumping.

[0022] The front and rear ends of the scraper 23, the first brush roller 18 and the second brush roller 22 are respectively in contact with the front and rear ends of the livestock feed trough body 1. The scraper blade 24 is in contact with the lower end of the livestock feed trough body 1. When the added first brush roller 18 and second brush roller 22 are adjusted and rotated, the front and rear ends of the livestock feed trough body 1 can be rotated and cleaned. When the scraper 23 and scraper blade 24 are driven to move to the right, the residual feed in the livestock feed trough body 1 will be scraped off.

[0023] As a second embodiment of this utility model: When the device is working, the servo motor 6 drives the transmission screw in the screw box 7 to rotate, causing the feed hopper 8 to move laterally, thus achieving uniform feeding of feed laterally. The fixed motor 10 drives the screw conveyor rod in the screw conveyor 9 to rotate, conveying the feed from the feed hopper 8 to the conical discharge hopper 11. The feed falls into the dispersing frame 15 through the conical discharge hopper 11. The vibrator 14 is activated, and the dispersing frame 15 vibrates through the spring 12. The feed is evenly dispersed by the grid strips 13 and falls into the livestock feed trough body 1, effectively preventing blockage of easily caking feeds such as wet-mixed feed. At the same time, the dual-shaft motor 17 is activated, driving the first brush roller 18 to rotate, and driving the second brush roller 22 to rotate synchronously through the transmission wheel 19 and the transmission belt 20, thus brushing the inner walls of the front and rear of the feed trough. The scraper 23 and scraper blade 24 move to the right with the equipment to scrape off the residual feed at the bottom of the trough, realizing simultaneous feeding and cleaning. In addition, the electric push rod 5 can control the opening and closing of the movable gate 3, making it easy to clean or remove residual materials from the removal slot 2, further improving the practicality and cleaning convenience of the equipment;
