[0057] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and distinct, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0058] Please also see Figures 1-9 The present invention provides some embodiments of a water-saving duck drinking fountain.

[0059] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the water-saving duck drinking fountain of the present invention comprises:

[0060] A valve body 10, wherein a water inlet 11 is provided at the upper end of the valve body 10, and a water outlet 12 is provided at the lower end of the valve body 10;

[0061] a first closing member 13 , located in the valve body 10 and extending from the water outlet 12 to the outside of the valve body 10 ;

[0062] A water outlet 20 is connected to the lower end of the valve body 10;

[0063] A rotating rod 30 is located in the channel, and a middle portion of the rotating rod 30 is rotatably connected to the water outlet 20;

[0064] A channel is formed in the water outlet 20, and the inlet 21 of the channel is connected to the water outlet 12;

[0065] The water outlet 20 is provided with a through hole 22, and the through hole 22 is connected to the channel;

[0066] The first section 31 of the rotating rod 30 extends out of the through hole 22 , and the second section 32 of the rotating rod 30 abuts against the lower end of the first closing member 13 ;

[0067] When the rotating rod 30 rotates, the first sealing member 13 is driven to move to open or close the water outlet 12 .

[0068] Specifically, the valve body 10 refers to the main body of the valve. A cavity is formed inside the valve body 10, and a certain amount of water can be stored in the cavity. The water inlet 11 refers to the inlet 21 through which water flows into the valve body 10, and the water outlet 12 refers to the outlet 23 through which water flows out of the valve body 10. The water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 are both connected to the cavity. Water transported by a water pipe or water line enters the cavity from the water inlet 11 and flows out from the water outlet 12 to the water outlet 20. The first closure member 13 refers to a component that closes the water outlet 12. By moving the first closure member 13, the water outlet 12 can be opened or closed. The water outlet 20 refers to a component for the duck's mouth to engage and discharge water. A channel is formed inside the water outlet 20, and the channel can allow water to flow through. Water flowing out of the water outlet 12 flows into the channel from the inlet 21 of the channel and flows out from the outlet 23 of the channel to the duck's mouth. The rotating rod 30 is a rotatable rod. Rotating the rotating rod 30 relative to the water spout 20 thereby actuates the first closure member 13, causing it to move. The first section 31 of the rotating rod 30 extends through the through-hole 22 to the outside of the water spout 20. The through-hole 22 limits the rotational range of the first section 31 of the rotating rod 30, while the passageway limits the rotational range of the second section 32 of the rotating rod 30. When the rotating member rotates to different angles, the first closure member 13 moves different distances, resulting in different amounts of water flowing out of the water outlet 12.

[0069] When the duck drinks water, its mouth engages the water outlet 20, depressing the first section 31 of the rotating rod 30, causing the rotating rod 30 to rotate and driving the first sealing member 13 to move, thereby opening the water outlet 12. The water in the valve body 10 flows through the water outlet 12, the inlet 21, and the outlet 23 in sequence and into the duck's mouth. After the duck drinks a certain amount of water, its mouth loosens or opens, and the first sealing member 13 returns to its original position under the action of gravity, pushing the second section 32 of the rotating rod 30 to rotate. The first sealing member 13 closes the water outlet 12, and the water in the valve body 10 cannot flow out of the water outlet 12.

[0070] According to the flat and long mouth of the duck, the water outlet 20 and the rotating part are matched with the duck's mouth shape. The first closing part 13 opens the water outlet 12 as the duck's mouth bites, and closes the water outlet 12 as the duck's mouth opens, thereby providing the duck with an appropriate amount of water and preventing water waste and pollution.

[0071] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the angle between the first section 31 of the rotating rod 30 and the second section 32 of the rotating rod 30 is adjustable.

[0072] Specifically, the rotating member is divided into two sections according to the rotating fulcrum, namely the first section 31 and the second section 32. An angle (specifically an obtuse angle) is formed between the first section 31 and the second section 32, and the size of the angle can be adjusted. Since the rotation range of the first section 31 of the rotating member is limited by the through hole 22, when the angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32 is reduced, the rotation range of the first section 31 can be increased, so that the first closing member 13 moves a greater distance and the amount of water flowing out of the water outlet 12 is greater. Due to the different breeds and sizes of ducks, the amount of drinking water per time is different. For example, if too much water is supplied to a small duck, it is easy to choke; if too little water is supplied to a large duck, the water supply efficiency is too low. By adjusting the angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32, the amount of water output per unit time of the water outlet 20 is adjusted to adapt to different ducks.

[0073] The larger the angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32, the closer the first section 31 is to the water outlet 20. If it rotates at a smaller angle, it will be restricted by the through hole 22, and the rotation range of the first section 31 will be smaller, and the water output per unit time will be smaller, which is suitable for supplying water to the ducklings. Moreover, the larger the angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32, the closer the first section 31 is to the water outlet 20, and the duckling's mouth can also engage with the first section 31 of the rotating part and the water outlet 20 (the distance between the open ends of the duckling's mouth is smaller). On the contrary, the smaller the angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32, the further away the first section 31 is from the water outlet 20, and the larger the angle of rotation is, the more restricted the through hole 22 is. In this way, the rotation range of the first section 31 is larger, and the water output per unit time is larger, which is suitable for supplying water to large ducks. Moreover, the smaller the angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32, the further away the first section 31 is from the water outlet 20, and the larger mouth of a large duck can engage the first section 31 of the rotating member and the water outlet 20 (the gap between the ends of the large duck's mouth is larger). When raising ducklings and ducklings together, multiple water-saving duck drinking fountains with different angles (angles between the first section 31 and the second section 32) can be used.

[0074] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, a first bending portion 314 is provided at an outer end portion of the first section 31 , and a second bending portion 324 is provided at an outer end portion of the second section 32 .

[0075] Specifically, the first bent portion 314 bends from the first section 31 in a direction extending outward toward the outlet 23 of the spout 20. The first bent portion 314 helps reduce the distance between the outer end of the first section 31 and the outlet 23, allowing the duck's mouth to engage the first bent portion 314 and the spout 20 without having to open its mouth wide. The second bent portion 324 bends from the second section 32 in a direction extending outward toward and away from the first closure member 13. The second bent portion 324 helps lift the first closure member 13 during rotation.

[0076] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a snap ring 24 is provided in the channel;

[0077] A first step 311 is provided at the connecting end of the first section 31 of the rotating rod 30 . A first layer of the first step 311 is provided with a plurality of first teeth 312 . A second layer of the first step 311 is provided with a plurality of first tooth grooves 313 .

[0078] The connecting end of the second section 32 of the rotating rod 30 is provided with a second step 321 , the first layer of the second step 321 is provided with a plurality of second teeth 322 , and the second layer of the second step 321 is provided with a plurality of second tooth grooves 323 ;

[0079] The first tooth portion 312 is inserted into the second tooth groove 323 , and the second tooth portion 322 is inserted into the first tooth groove 313 ;

[0080] The first layer of the first step 311 and the first layer of the second step 321 are both provided with a rotating shaft 33 , and the rotating shaft 33 is located inside the clamping ring 24 .

[0081] Specifically, two retaining rings 24 are provided within the channel, each with a retaining hole 242 formed therein. A rotating shaft 33 on the rotating rod 30 is inserted into the retaining hole 242 of the retaining ring 24 and can rotate within the retaining hole 242, enabling the rotating member to rotate relative to the water spout 20. Two rotating shafts 33 are provided, one at the connecting end (i.e., the inner end) of the first section 31 and the other at the connecting end (i.e., the inner end) of the second section 32. The two rotating shafts 33 are inserted into the retaining holes 242 of the corresponding retaining ring 24. The connecting end of the first section 31 and the connecting end of the second section 32 are engaged. The connecting end of the first section 31 forms a first step 311, which is divided into at least two layers. The first layer has a first tooth portion 312 formed at its edge, and the second layer has a first tooth groove 313 formed at its second layer. The connecting end of the second section 32 forms a second step 321, which is divided into at least two layers. The first layer has a second tooth portion 322 formed at its edge, and the second layer has a second tooth groove 323 formed at its second layer. The first tooth portion 312 is inserted into the second tooth groove 323, and the second tooth portion 322 is inserted into the first tooth groove 313, thereby achieving a snap connection between the first section 31 and the second section 32. The angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32 varies depending on the position at which the first tooth portion 312 is inserted into the second tooth groove 323. The angle between the first section 31 and the second section 32 can be adjusted by adjusting the position at which the first tooth portion 312 is inserted into the second tooth groove 323.

[0082] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a bayonet 241 is provided on the clamping ring 24 , and the rotating shaft 33 is clamped into the bayonet 241 .

[0083] Specifically, a bayonet 241 is provided on the snap ring 24 , and the bayonet 241 is communicated with the bayonet hole 242 . The rotating shaft 33 can be inserted into the bayonet hole 242 of the snap ring 24 through the bayonet 241 .

[0084] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the cross section of the outlet 23 of the channel is flat.

[0085] Specifically, the cross-section of the channel outlet 23 is flat, matching the shape of a duck's beak. The lower end of the channel outlet 23 is curved, matching the arc of the duck's beak. The upper end of the channel outlet 23 is straight. The flat shape of the channel outlet 23 facilitates the duck's bite.

[0086] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, an extending direction of the inlet 21 of the channel and an extending direction of the outlet 23 of the channel form an obtuse angle.

[0087] Specifically, when drinking water, a duck usually needs to raise its head so that the water in its mouth flows into its throat. To facilitate drinking, the extension direction of the channel entrance 21 and the extension direction of the outlet 23 do not form a right angle, but an obtuse angle. The extension direction of the channel entrance 21 is usually vertical, while the extension direction of the outlet 23 is offset from top to bottom and outward. After the duck raises its head, it bites the water outlet 20 and the first section 31, making it easier for the duck to drink water. The size of the obtuse angle can be set as needed. The first section 31 and the second section 32 also form an obtuse angle, matching the shape of the water outlet 20.

[0088] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the first closing member 13 includes:

[0089] A first closing plate 131, used to close the water outlet 12;

[0090] The first extension rod 132 is disposed on the first closing plate 131 and passes through the water outlet 12 .

[0091] Specifically, the first closing plate 131 is located within the valve body 10 and is used to close the water outlet 12. The first extension rod 132 passes through the water outlet 12 and extends into the entrance 21 of the channel. The aperture of the water outlet 12 is larger than the diameter of the first extension rod 132. When the rotating member rotates, the second section 32 rotates toward the first extension rod 132, pushing the first extension rod 132 to rotate. This causes the first closing plate 131 to tilt, forming a gap between the first closing plate 131 and the valve body 10. Water in the valve body 10 can flow through the gap and the water outlet 12 in sequence. As the second section 32 rotates, the gap becomes larger and larger, and the amount of water discharged increases. As the second section 32 continues to rotate, the two sides of the first extension rod 132 respectively abut against the two sides of the water outlet 12, and the first extension rod 132 cannot continue to rotate. When the second section 32 is rotated further, the first closing member 13 moves upward, further expanding the gap and further increasing the amount of water discharged.

[0092] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 、 Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the valve body 10 includes:

[0093] The housing 14 has the water inlet 11 at the upper end thereof and the water outlet 12 at the lower end thereof;

[0094] The sphere 15 is located in the housing 14 , and the lower end of the sphere 15 abuts against the first closing plate 131 ;

[0095] The second sealing member 16 abuts against the sphere 15 and extends into the water inlet 11 .

[0096] Specifically, a cavity is formed within the housing 14, and the ball 15 can move within the cavity. The lower end of the ball 15 abuts against the first sealing plate 131. The weight of the ball 15 applies pressure to the first sealing plate 131, so that when the duck's mouth opens or closes, the ball 15 and the first sealing member 13 can be quickly lowered, and the first sealing plate 131 can quickly close the water outlet 12, preventing water from further leaking out of the housing 14. The ball 15 can be a heavy spherical member, such as a steel ball.

[0097] A second sealing member 16 is also provided in the shell 14. The second sealing member 16 helps prevent debris from entering the shell 14 from the water inlet 11, and also helps prevent water from the water pipe or water line from entering the shell 14 from the water inlet 11 at a slower rate. Even if the water pressure in the water pipe or water line is high, the pressure of the water flowing out of the nozzle will become smaller.

[0098] The housing 14 includes an upper shell 141, a lower shell 142, and a sealing ring 143. The upper shell 141 and the lower shell 142 are connected, and the upper shell 141 and the lower shell 142 are sealed by the sealing ring 143. The housing 14 is externally connected to a connector 18 for connecting the housing 14 to a water pipe or water line. The lower end of the housing 14 (i.e., the lower end of the lower shell 142) gradually narrows, which facilitates the introduction of water into the water outlet 12 and the connection of the lower end of the housing 14 to the water outlet 20. The lower end of the housing 14 (specifically, the lower shell 142) and the water outlet 20 can be connected by a threaded connection.

[0099] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 、 Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the valve body 10 further includes:

[0100] a buffer ring 17 disposed in the housing 14 and surrounding the sphere 15;

[0101] The side surface of the sphere 15 abuts against the buffer ring 17 .

[0102] Specifically, to further adjust the amount of water flowing through the water outlet 12, a buffer ring 17 is positioned within the valve body 10. This buffer ring 17 surrounds and abuts against the ball 15. The upper surfaces of the buffer ring 17 and the first closure plate 131 abut against the ball 15, with the ball 15 sealing the opening of the buffer ring 17. When the first closure plate 131 rotates or moves upward, it pushes the ball 15, creating a gap between the ball 15 and the buffer ring 17, allowing water to flow through. As the second section 32 rotates, the amount of water flowing through the water outlet 12 also changes, and the gap between the ball 15 and the buffer ring 17 gradually widens.

[0103] The buffer ring 17 is provided with a circular ring, which is located between the first closing plate 131 and the shell 14. Since the buffer ring 17 and the circular ring can be deformed, the first closing plate 131 can seal the water outlet 12 with better sealing performance, thereby preventing the water outlet 12 from leaking.

[0104] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the second closure member 16 includes:

[0105] The second closing plate 161 abuts against the upper end of the sphere 15;

[0106] The second extension rod 162 is disposed on the second closing plate 161 and passes through the water inlet 11 .

[0107] Specifically, the second closing plate 161 can close the water inlet 11 , and the second extension rod 162 passes through the water inlet 11 . The diameter of the second extension rod 162 is smaller than the aperture of the water inlet 11 .

[0108] Based on the water-saving duck drinking fountain described in any of the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a preferred embodiment of a water supply method based on the water-saving duck drinking fountain:

[0109] The water supply method of the water-saving duck drinking fountain according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0110] Step S100: Determine the single water supply volume for the ducks.

[0111] Step S200: adjusting the angle between the first section of the rotating rod and the second section of the rotating rod according to the single water supply amount.

[0112] Step S300: Connect the water-saving duck drinking fountain to the water pipe, and connect the water inlet to the leaking hole of the water pipe so that the duck's mouth engages with the water outlet and the first section of the rotating rod.

[0113] Specifically, when supplying water to ducks, it is necessary to first determine the single water supply volume of the ducks. The single water supply volume refers to the amount of water provided to the ducks per unit time. The amount of water the duck drinks in one sip can be used as the single water supply volume. For example, the time it takes for a duck to drink one sip of water is approximately 0.5s-3s. Taking 0.5s-3s as the unit time, the time it takes for the duck's mouth to bite the first section and the water outlet is also close to the unit time. The amount of water that the drinker needs to provide to the ducks per unit time is taken as the single water supply volume.

[0114] After determining the single water supply volume, the angle between the first and second sections can be adjusted based on the single water supply volume. First, determine the relationship between the angle and water output: press down the first section per unit time and measure the amount of water flowing out of the spout. After adjusting the angle between the first and second sections, press down the first section per unit time again and measure the amount of water flowing out of the spout. This will determine the amount of water flowing out of the spout per unit time at different angles. Based on the relationship between the angle and water output and the single water supply volume, the angle corresponding to the single water supply volume can be determined, allowing the angle between the first and second sections to be adjusted. Finally, assemble the drinker, connect the water inlet and the water pipe, and you can supply water to the ducks.

[0115] Step S100 specifically includes:

[0116] Step S110: Determine the single water supply volume for the duck according to the age and weight of the duck.

[0117] Specifically, the amount of water supplied at a single time is determined according to the age and weight of the duck. As the age and weight increase, the amount of water supplied at a single time will also increase.

[0118] Water supply methods also include:

[0119] Step S500: determining the daily water delivery volume of the water pipe, and adjusting the angle between the first section of the rotating rod and the second section of the rotating rod according to the daily water delivery volume.

[0120] Specifically, the amount of water a duck drinks will also be affected by other factors such as season, air humidity, and diet. If the amount of water a duck drinks in a single day (i.e., the daily water supply of the water pipe) increases, it means that the duck's water demand is increasing, and the angle between the first section and the second section can be increased; if the amount of water a duck drinks in a single day decreases, it means that the duck's water demand is decreasing, and the angle between the first section and the second section can be reduced, so as to more finely adjust the angle between the first section and the second section to adapt to the duck's drinking water.

[0121] It should be understood that the application of the present invention is not limited to the above examples. For those skilled in the art, improvements or changes can be made based on the above description. All these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
