[0017] 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.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 Figure 4 Figure 5 , Figure 6This utility model provides an embodiment of a feeding trough with a circulating cleaning structure, comprising a feeding trough body 1 and a cleaning box 2. A cleaning device 15 is fixedly installed at the top of the cleaning box 2. The cleaning device 15 includes an electric telescopic rod 1506, and a cleaning device body 1501 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 1506. Limiting grooves 1504 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the cleaning box 2. Sliding plates 1503 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cleaning device body 1501, and the sliding plates 1503 and the limiting grooves 1504 are slidably connected. Two rotating rods 1511 are installed inside the cleaning device body 1501. Motor 1507 has a drive wheel 1508 fixedly connected to its output end. Driven wheel 1509 and driven wheel 1510 are fixedly connected to two rotating rods 1511 respectively. Drive wheel 1508 and driven wheel 1509 are meshed together, and driven wheel 1509 and driven wheel 1510 are meshed together. Brushes 1505 are connected to both ends of the two rotating rods 1511. Rotating column 1513 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the two arms of the two brushes 1505. Rotating grooves 1512 are fixedly provided on both sides of the cleaning device body 1501. Spray head 1502 is fixedly connected inside the cleaning device body 1501.

[0019] Specifically, when the electric telescopic rod 1506 extends, the sliding plate 1503 slides on the limiting groove 1504, and the main body of the cleaning device 1501 descends vertically under the limiting action of the limiting groove 1504. When the third motor 1507 starts, its output end drive wheel 1508 rotates, driving the first driven wheel 1509 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the second driven wheel 1510 to rotate in the opposite direction to the first driven wheel 1509, thus causing the two rotating rods 1511 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the two brushes 1505 to move in opposite arcs. The rotating column 1513 on it drives the two brushes 1505 to move in a stable arc under the limiting action of the rotating groove 1512. This brushes off the food residue inside the food trough body 1. The water spray head 1502 is connected to the external water pipe to rinse off any remaining food residue.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The cleaning box 2 has two movable boxes 4 fixedly installed on both sides. One of the movable boxes 4 has a second motor 10 fixedly installed inside. The output end of the second motor 10 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 8. The other movable box 4 has a limit slide rod 12 fixedly installed inside. The threaded rod 8 and the limit slide rod 12 are equipped with movable blocks 7. One of the movable blocks 7 has a first motor 9 fixedly installed inside. The other movable block 7 has a driven rotating shaft 11 fixedly installed on its inner side. The driven rotating shaft 11 and the first motor 9 are connected to the feeding trough body 1. The feeding trough placement box 3 is fixedly installed below the front of the cleaning box 2. The bottom of the feeding trough placement box 3 is fixedly equipped with a limit block 6.

[0021] Specifically, starting motor 10 drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, which in turn moves the moving block 7, causing the main body of the feeding trough 1 to move linearly at a constant speed under the limiting action of the limiting slide rod 12. During its outward movement towards the feeding trough placement box 3, the main body of the feeding trough 1 is limited and supported by the limiting block 6, ensuring its stability. At this point, it can be used as a normal feeding trough. When motor 10 rotates in the reverse direction, the main body of the feeding trough 1 moves into the cleaning box 2, at which point it can be cleaned by the cleaning device 15.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 The cleaning box 2 is located below the cleaning device 15 and has a waste trough 13. The waste trough 13 has fixing plates 14 at its four corners. The cleaning box 2 has a control panel 16 fixedly installed on one side. The bottom of the cleaning box 2 and the food trough placement box 3 has a total of four support legs 5 fixedly installed.

[0023] Specifically, starting motor 9 rotates the main body 1 of the feeding trough and the driven shaft 11, thus flipping the main body 1 over and pouring the food residue and wastewater into the waste trough 13. The waste trough 13 is set at a high height to prevent overflowing water from splashing onto the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. The waste trough 13 has a small door; after cleaning, the small door can be opened to empty the accumulated residue and wastewater. For thorough cleaning, the screws connecting the fixing plate 14 to the cleaning box 2 can be unscrewed to remove the waste trough 13. The support leg 5 supports the weight of the entire device. The control panel 16 controls the starting of the electric telescopic rod 1506, motor 9, motor 10, and motor 1507. The relevant technologies are existing mature technologies, and their principles will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Working principle: When it needs to be used for feeding, operate the control panel 16 to start the second motor 10, which drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, causing the moving block 7 to move. The feeding trough body 1 moves outward at a uniform linear speed under the limiting action of the limiting slide rod 12. When the feeding trough body 1 moves outward to the feeding trough placement box 3, it is limited and supported by the limiting block 6, so that the feeding trough body 1 can remain stable. At this time, it can be used as a normal feeding trough. If you want to clean it, when the second motor 10 rotates in the reverse direction, the feeding trough body 1 moves into the cleaning box 2, and then it can be cleaned by the cleaning device 15. Extend the electric telescopic rod 1506, causing the sliding plate 1503 on the cleaning device body 1501 to slide down on the limiting groove 1504. The cleaning device body 1501 will descend vertically under the limiting action of the limiting groove 1504. When motor 1507 starts, the drive wheel 1508 rotates, driving the driven wheel 1509 to rotate in the opposite direction. This, in turn, drives the driven wheel 1510 to rotate in the opposite direction to the driven wheel 1509, causing the two rotating rods 1511 to rotate in opposite directions. This, in turn, drives the two brushes 1505 to move in opposite arcs. The rotating column 1513 on the brushes, under the limiting action of the rotating groove 1512, drives the two brushes 1505 to move in a stable arc. This causes the brushes 1505 to move slowly along the inner wall of the trough body 1, brushing off food residue. The water spray head 1502 connects to the external water pipe to rinse off any remaining food residue. Afterward, the electric telescopic rod 1506 rises, and motor 1507 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the brushes 1505 back to their original position. Then, motor 9 starts, driving the trough body 1 and the driven shaft 11 to rotate, thus flipping the trough body 1 over. The food residue and wastewater inside are then poured into the waste trough 13. The waste trough 13 has a high side wall, preventing overflowing water from splashing onto the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. A small door is provided on the waste trough 13; after the cleaning process is complete, open the small door to empty the accumulated residue and wastewater. For thorough cleaning of the waste trough 13, unscrew the screws connecting the fixing plate 14 to the cleaning box 2 to remove the waste trough 13 for cleaning. The support leg 5 supports the weight of the entire device. All the motors mentioned above have a self-locking function, automatically stopping operation after reaching the appropriate position.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
