A feed trough mechanism for duck feed

Abstract

This utility model discloses a feed trough mechanism for ducks, relating to the field of aquaculture equipment technology. It includes a feed trough with a conical platform fixed inside. A connecting rod is fixed to the conical platform, and a storage pipe is fixed to the connecting rod. A vertical pipe is fixed to the storage pipe. Feed slides down the gap between the storage pipe and the conical platform into a feeding ring trough. When the amount of feed in the feeding ring trough accumulates to a certain level, it blocks the gap between the conical platform and the storage pipe. After the ducks eat the feed, the gap is opened, and feed continues to be discharged from the storage pipe, thus maintaining a constant amount of feed in the feeding ring trough until all the feed in the storage pipe is discharged. This maintains the ducks' feed intake without causing them to discharge all the feed at once. A protective net covers the feed trough to prevent ducks from entering the feeding ring trough entirely, while ensuring that the ducks can insert their heads into the feeding ring trough to eat, effectively preventing feed from being thrown out of the feed trough and reducing feed waste.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a feed trough mechanism for duck feed. Background Technology

[0002] In duck farming, feeding needs to be done according to different stages, and 3-4 times a day with even intervals between feedings to help ducks develop regular eating habits and improve feed utilization. During the egg-laying period, the amount of feed needs to be adjusted according to the egg production rate. It is important not to feed large amounts of feed at once, as this easily leads to feed waste and can cause overnutrition, affecting the ducks' growth. Currently, most existing feed troughs are long troughs, where the prepared feed is scattered for the ducks to eat. However, adding feed all at once can easily lead to feed waste and contamination, affecting the ducks' feeding. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a feed trough mechanism for duck feed, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] I. By setting up a feed trough, a conical platform, a connecting rod, a storage pipe, a horizontal pipe, a connecting pipe, and a feed box, the feed trough and the conical platform form a feeding ring trough when feeding ducks. When the storage pipe is filled with feed pellets, the feed slides down into the feeding ring trough along the gap between the storage pipe and the conical platform. After the amount of feed in the feeding ring trough accumulates to a certain level, it will block the gap between the conical platform and the storage pipe. After the ducks eat the feed, the gap is opened, and the feed continues to be discharged from the storage pipe, thus maintaining a certain amount of feed in the feeding ring trough until all the feed in the storage pipe is discharged. This can maintain the ducks' feed intake without discharging all the feed at once, preventing feed contamination. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, and highly practical.

[0017] II. By setting up a protective net cover, bottom ring, insert rod, socket, insertion hole, protrusion, insert plate, and support plate, the protective net cover is installed on the feed trough via the insert rod when the ducks are feeding. The protective net cover protects the feed trough and prevents the ducks from entering the entire feeding ring trough, while ensuring that the ducks can put their heads into the feeding ring trough to eat, effectively preventing feed from being thrown out of the feed trough and reducing feed waste. When cleaning the feed trough, the protective net cover is raised above the protrusion, and then the insert plate is inserted into the protrusion. The support plate supports the protective net cover, making it easy to clean the feed trough. It has high flexibility and strong practicality.

[0018] Third, by setting up a cylinder, push plate and sealing plate, when feeding feed, the cylinder pushes the push plate and sealing plate to move, and the sealing plate inserts into the connecting pipe to cut off the connecting pipe, preventing the feed in the feed box from continuing to flow into the horizontal pipe, and stabilizing the feed discharge.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 A feed trough mechanism for duck feed includes a feed trough 1, a conical platform 2 fixedly disposed inside the feed trough 1, a connecting rod 3 fixedly disposed on the conical platform 2, a storage pipe 4 fixedly disposed on the connecting rod 3, a vertical pipe fixedly disposed on the storage pipe 4, a feeding assembly 5 fixedly disposed on the vertical pipe, a protective assembly disposed on the feed trough 1, the feeding assembly 5 including a horizontal pipe 6, the horizontal pipe 6 being fixedly connected to the vertical pipe, a motor 7 fixedly disposed on the horizontal pipe 6, a spiral blade rotatably disposed inside the horizontal pipe 6, a connecting pipe 8 fixedly disposed on the horizontal pipe 6, a feed box 9 fixedly disposed on the connecting pipe 8, a feed inlet fixedly disposed on the feed box 9, a support plate fixedly disposed on the feed box 9, the support plate being fixedly connected to the feed box 9, and multiple sets of feed trough 1 and storage pipe 4 are provided.

[0031] Specifically, when feeding ducks, the feed trough 1 and the conical platform 2 form a feeding ring trough. When the feed storage pipe 4 is filled with feed pellets, the feed slides down into the feeding ring trough along the gap between the feed storage pipe 4 and the conical platform 2. After the amount of feed in the feeding ring trough accumulates to a certain level, it will block the gap between the conical platform 2 and the feed storage pipe 4. After the ducks eat the feed, the gap is opened, and the feed continues to be discharged from the feed storage pipe 4, thus maintaining a certain amount of feed in the feeding ring trough until all the feed in the feed storage pipe 4 is discharged. This maintains the ducks' feed intake without discharging all the feed at once, preventing feed contamination. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, and highly practical.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The protective assembly includes a protective mesh cover 10, a bottom ring 11 fixedly mounted on the protective mesh cover 10, an insertion rod 12 fixedly mounted on the bottom ring 11, a socket 13 fixedly mounted on the material trough 1, an insertion hole 14 on the socket 13, the insertion rod 12 being inserted into the insertion hole 14, a material window on the material storage tube 4, a protrusion 15 fixedly mounted on the material storage tube 4, a slot on the protrusion 15, an insertion plate 16 inserted into the slot, and a support plate 17 fixedly mounted on the insertion plate 16.

[0033] Specifically, when the ducks are feeding, the protective net cover 10 is installed on the feed trough 1 via the insert rod 12. The protective net cover 10 protects the feed trough 1 to prevent the ducks from entering the feeding ring trough completely, while ensuring that the ducks can put their heads into the feeding ring trough to eat, effectively preventing feed from being thrown out of the feed trough 1 and reducing feed waste. When cleaning the feed trough 1, the protective net cover 10 is raised above the protrusion 15, and then the insert plate 16 is inserted into the protrusion 15. The protective net cover 10 is supported by the support plate 17 to facilitate cleaning of the feed trough 1. It has high flexibility and strong practicality.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 7 A fixing plate 18 is fixedly provided on the material box 9, a cylinder 19 is fixedly provided on the fixing plate 18, a push plate 20 is fixedly provided on the cylinder 19, a sealing plate 21 is fixedly provided on the push plate 20, and the sealing plate 21 is inserted into the connecting pipe 8.

[0035] Specifically, when feeding the feed, the cylinder 19 pushes the push plate 20 and the sealing plate 21 to move. The sealing plate 21 is inserted into the connecting pipe 8 to cut off the connecting pipe 8, preventing the feed in the feed box 9 from continuing to flow into the horizontal pipe 6, and stabilizing the feed discharge.

[0036] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0037] When feeding ducks, the feed trough 1 and the conical platform 2 form a feeding ring trough. When the feed storage pipe 4 is filled with feed pellets, the feed slides down into the feeding ring trough along the gap between the feed storage pipe 4 and the conical platform 2. After the amount of feed in the feeding ring trough accumulates to a certain level, it will block the gap between the conical platform 2 and the feed storage pipe 4. After the ducks eat the feed, the gap is opened, and the feed continues to be discharged from the feed storage pipe 4, thus maintaining a certain amount of feed in the feeding ring trough until all the feed in the feed storage pipe 4 is discharged. This maintains the ducks' feed intake without discharging all the feed at once, preventing feed contamination. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, and highly practical.

[0038] When ducks are feeding, the protective net cover 10 is installed on the feed trough 1 via the insert rod 12. The protective net cover 10 protects the feed trough 1 and prevents the ducks from entering the feeding ring trough completely. At the same time, it ensures that the ducks can put their heads into the feeding ring trough to eat, effectively preventing feed from being thrown out of the feed trough 1 and reducing feed waste. When cleaning the feed trough 1, the protective net cover 10 is raised above the protrusion 15, and then the insert plate 16 is inserted into the protrusion 15. The protective net cover 10 is supported by the support plate 17 to facilitate cleaning of the feed trough 1. It is highly flexible and practical.

[0039] When feeding the feed, cylinder 19 pushes push plate 20 and sealing plate 21 to move. Sealing plate 21 is inserted into connecting pipe 8 to cut off connecting pipe 8, preventing feed in feed box 9 from continuing to flow into horizontal pipe 6, and stabilizing feed discharge.

For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
