Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of livestock drinking water, in particular to a livestock drinking fountain. Background Art

[0002] Livestock drinking fountains are one of the important equipment in animal husbandry. They can provide drinking water for livestock and play an important role in ensuring livestock health and improving breeding efficiency. In order to avoid the waste of water resources, most livestock drinking fountains currently use automatic water supply and water cut-off designs. A commonly used implementation structure is a float structure, which uses buoyancy to cut off and open the control valve. This method is simple and easy to maintain and replace, but the water level cannot be adjusted accordingly according to factors such as the size of livestock. In addition, the functions of this type of drinking fountain are relatively simple. Some only have a drinking trough, which easily causes livestock to scramble for water. Some drinking fountains do not have a heating function, and livestock are prone to getting sick when drinking cold water, so they need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 4 The livestock drinking fountain shown comprises: a water tank 1, a water outlet 2 and a drinking trough 3;

[0031] The water tank 1 is connected to an external water supply pipe 5, a feed port 4 is provided on the top of the water tank 1, a heater 6 is provided on the bottom, a plurality of outflow ports are provided on the side of the water tank 1, each outflow port is connected to a water outlet 2, and each water outlet 2 is provided with a corresponding water trough 3;

[0032] The water outlet 2 includes an upper tube body 9, a lower tube body 10, a valve core 11, a valve seat 12, a connecting rod 13 and a floating block 14. A hose 7 is provided on the top of the upper tube body 9, and the hose 7 is connected to the outflow port. The valve seat 12 is fixedly arranged in the upper tube body 9, and a valve port 15 is arranged on the valve seat 12. The upper tube body 9 can be moved up and down on the lower tube body 10; the lower tube body 10 is inserted downward into the corresponding water diversion groove, and a drain port 16 is arranged at the bottom of the lower tube body 10;

[0033] The float 14 is arranged in the lower tube body 10, and is provided with a plurality of through holes 17 penetrating the float 14 in the up and down directions. The lower end of the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the float 14, and the upper end is fixedly connected to the valve core 11. The valve core 11 is located below the valve port 15. The float 14 can move up and down along the lower tube body 10 under buoyancy so that the valve core 11 blocks the valve port 15 or exposes the valve port 15.

[0034] Specifically, the device has the following structural features:

[0035] 1. If Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of water outlets 2 are provided, and each water outlet 2 is provided with a corresponding drinking trough 3, so that when livestock drink water, they do not need to crowd together and are less likely to compete for water;

[0036] 2. A transfer water tank 1 is equipped to uniformly supply water to each water outlet 2. In this way, when preventing infectious diseases, the user only needs to add medicine into the water tank 1, and the medicine can flow to each drinking trough 3. There is no need to add medicine into each drinking trough 3 separately, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity;

[0037] 3. A heater 6 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1, which can heat the water in the water tank 1 in cold temperatures, thus preventing livestock from drinking cold water and becoming sick;

[0038] 4. The water outlet 2 adopts a buoyancy design to achieve automatic drainage and automatic water shut-off, which can ensure that there is always enough water in the drinking trough 3 without manual water addition and avoid waste of water resources. Figure 1 and 3 As shown, since a drain port 16 is provided at the bottom of the lower tube body 10, the lower tube body 10 is connected with the water trough 3, and the liquid levels of the two are at the same height. The floating block 14 in the lower tube body 10 can float on the water surface and move up and down with the change of the water surface liquid level.

[0039] Therefore, when the water level in the drinking trough 3 becomes low, the float 14 moves down, and the valve core 11 moves down, the valve port 15 is exposed, and the water in the water tank 1 can flow into the upper tube 9 through the hose 7, and then flow downward through the valve port 15, and then flow into the drinking trough 3 through the through hole 17 on the float 14; when the water level in the drinking trough 3 rises, the float 14 rises, and the valve core 11 moves up, blocking the valve port 15, and the water flow can be cut off. This form of using buoyancy to make the valve core 11 rise and fall is simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0040] 5. The maximum liquid level in the drinking trough 3 can be adjusted according to factors such as the size of the livestock. In this device, when the valve core 11 floats up and blocks the valve port 15, the water flow is cut off and the amount of water in the drinking trough 3 cannot continue to increase. Therefore, the height of the maximum liquid level in the drinking trough 3 can be changed by appropriately changing the height position of the valve port 15. Therefore, the upper tube body 9 in this device is made to be movable up and down relative to the lower tube body 10.

[0041] In specific applications, such as Figure 2 The outer wall of the upper tube body 9 is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the lower tube body 10 is provided with an internal thread. The external thread cooperates with the internal thread. Therefore, the position of the upper tube body 9 can be adjusted up and down by rotating the upper tube body 9. This adjustment method is simple and easy to use.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to prevent the floating block 14 from tilting during the process of moving up and down with the rise and fall of the water surface, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the floating block 14 is a cylindrical block with an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of the lower tube body 10 , and a plurality of through holes 17 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the floating block 14 .

[0043] In order to ensure sufficient buoyancy, the valve core 11 and the connecting rod 13 are both hollow structures. In order to ensure that the valve core 11 can accurately block the valve port 15, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the valve core 11 is made into a tapered block structure that is small at the top and large at the bottom.

[0044] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
