Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, in particular to a drinking water system for sheep. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the sheep industry, the automation level of large-scale sheep farms is becoming higher and higher, and the drinking water problem of sheep is also being paid more and more attention. Water is very important in the breeding process and is directly related to the health of sheep. At present, the drinking water systems used in large-scale sheep farms mainly have two types. One is a drinking bowl for sheep, which has a relatively small overall size. A touch valve is arranged in the bowl. After training, the sheep can drink water by touching the valve. The other is a relatively simple drinking trough, which is a tank structure. Drinking water is directly supplied into the tank for sheep to drink. The valve in the first type of drinking bowl is prone to failure in actual use. Therefore, the second type of drinking trough is mostly used.

[0003] Most large-scale sheep farms use direct drinking water devices and pollute water and randomly discharge, which leads to a series of problems that cannot automatically supply water as needed, cannot automatically heat water in winter, cannot automatically discharge and clean the water tank, and other problems that need to be solved manually. The traditional drinking water equipment increases the labor cost of the farm, pollutes the sheep house environment, and affects the health of the sheep. Therefore, it is urgent to innovate and improve. SUMMARY

[0031] As Figures 1-5 shown in a water system for sheep, which comprises: a water storage tank 1 and a water tank 2, the water tank 2 is provided with a plurality of groups, which are connected to the water storage tank 1 through branch pipes 301 and main pipes 302 respectively; the horizontal height of the water storage tank 1 is higher than that of the water tank 2.

[0032] The drinking water tank 2 comprises a shell 201 and an inner tank 202, the shell 201 and the inner tank 202 are slidingly sealed, and the shell 201 is provided with the branch pipeline 301, the branch pipeline 301 is communicated to the shell 201, and the drinking water is injected between the shell 201 and the inner tank 202 through the communication of the main pipeline 302 and the water storage tank 1; the inner tank 202 is floated by the internal drinking water and slides up and down in the shell 201.

[0033] The shell 201 is in the form of a box as a whole, a ring-shaped bending part 203 is arranged on the inner side of the top of the shell 201, and the bending part 203 is in the form of an inverted L towards the inside of the shell 201; the inner tank 202 is in the form of a tank with a semicircular bottom, and a square baffle 204 is arranged on the upper part of the inner tank 202, the baffle 204 is inserted into the periphery below the bending part 203 and slides up and down thereon.

[0034] The front and rear baffles 204 are provided with uniformly distributed through holes 205, and the through holes 205 are arranged in a penetrating manner on the baffle 204; the bending part 203 is provided with uniformly distributed vertical water outlet channels 206, the water outlet channels 206 are arranged in the inside of the bending part 203 and correspond to the through holes 205 one by one, and the side, where the water outlet channels 206 are in contact with the baffle 204, is provided with a penetrating slot hole 207, and the slot hole 207 and the through hole 205 on the baffle 204 are located on the same vertical plane.

[0035] The upper half of the water outlet channel 206 is in the form of a square column, and the lower half is in the form of a taper, and the lower half of the water outlet channel 206 penetrates the bottom of the bending part 203; the part, where the water outlet channel 206 penetrates the bending part 203, is in the form of a strip.

[0036] The support spring 208 is arranged between the top of the inner tank 202 and the top of the bending part 203, and the purpose of the support spring 208 in the device is to support and stabilize the floating force of the inner tank 202.

[0037] The bottom of the inner tank 202 and the shell 201 is provided with a water outlet part 4 for discharging waste water; when the inner tank 202 is floated and not loaded with water, the water outlet part 4 is closed and not communicated; when the inner tank 202 moves upwards beyond the above state, the water outlet part 4 is opened to form communication.

[0038] The water outlet part 4 comprises an outer pipe 401 arranged at the bottom of the shell 201 and an inner pipe 402 arranged at the bottom of the inner tank 202, the outer pipe 401 and the inner pipe 402 are in the form of concentric structure, and the inner pipe 402 is sealingly inserted into the outer pipe 401 and slides up and down in the outer pipe 401.

[0039] The outer tube 401 is provided with a tube plug 404 installed by a support 403, the tube plug 404 is arranged at the center of the outer tube 401 and corresponds to the inner wall of the inner tube 402, when the inner tube 402 is slidably sleeved on the tube plug 404, the water outlet part 4 is sealed and not communicated, when the inner tube 402 is slidably separated from the tube plug 404, the water outlet part 4 is in communication.

[0040] The water storage tank 1 is provided with a pressure device 5 at the top; the shell 201 is provided with an electric heating rod 6.

[0041] In use, the water in the water storage tank enters the space between the shell and the inner tank through the pipeline under the action of the height difference, when the water is filled, the inner tank rises under the action of the buoyancy, at this time, the through hole on the inner tank corresponds to the groove hole on the bending part, the water in the shell enters the inner tank through the through hole, the groove hole and the water outlet channel, when the water in the inner tank reaches a certain amount, the buoyancy is less than the weight of the inner tank and the water therein, the inner tank will drop as a whole to make the through hole and the groove hole misaligned, at this time, the water in the shell is blocked and cannot enter the inner tank.

[0042] After the sheep drinks the water in the inner tank, the water volume decreases, the weight also decreases, thereby making the inner tank float up, the through hole corresponds to the groove hole, and water is injected into the inner tank again, thereby achieving the effect of automatic water replenishment.

[0043] When the inner tank needs to be flushed, the pressure device is used to pressurize the water storage tank, the pressure is transmitted to the shell through the pipeline, due to the relative sealing between the shell and the inner tank, the pressure drives the inner tank to move upward, but under the action of the supporting spring, the through hole will not exceed the height of the groove hole, the water in the shell with pressure is sprayed into the inner tank through the water outlet channel, the outlet part of the water outlet channel is linear, so that the corresponding high-pressure water can have a larger coverage, and the flushing of the inner tank is completed. At the same time, the rising of the inner tank makes the inner tube at the bottom separate from the tube plug, the inner tube and the outer tube form a communication, and the waste water after flushing can be discharged along the inner tube and the outer tube.

[0044] After the flushing is completed, the pressure device is closed to release the pressure, at this time, the inner tank returns to the original position for water replenishment operation, and the inner tube is sleeved on the tube plug, so that the inner tube and the outer tube are closed, and the water in the inner tank cannot be discharged along the inner tube and the outer tube.

[0045] The device as a whole realizes the automatic water replenishment operation without the aid of external force, and the flushing operation can be realized by only one set of pressure equipment, which has good practical value in actual use, and there is no related or similar idea being proposed or put into use in the current industry.
