Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dairy farming equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic cleaning water trough that prevents accidental injury. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese utility model patent CN203884388U discloses a high-efficiency, water-saving dairy cow drinking trough, comprising a water trough and a waste trough. The waste trough is fixed to the outside of the water trough's bottom plate. A water inlet pipe and a waste outlet are located at opposite ends of the drinking trough, with the water level controlled by a float valve. The front and rear bottom plates of the water trough are symmetrically arranged, sloping downwards from the outside to the inside, with a longitudinal seam between them. A waste trough cover, 90-95% the length of the longitudinal seam, is installed inside the water trough. At the right end where the waste outlet is located, the waste trough cover aligns with the longitudinal seam. When the cows drink, the waste trough cover is placed on the water trough bottom plate, causing waste to accumulate in the waste trough. During cleaning, the waste trough cover covers the longitudinal seam, and the drain valve is opened. Water from the water trough enters the waste trough from the uncovered left end of the longitudinal seam, flushing away the waste. This eliminates the need to completely drain the water trough, achieving a high-efficiency, water-saving cleaning effect.

[0003] While existing devices include a waste tray cover to cover longitudinal seams for cleaning, the impact of water flow alone may not be sufficient to completely remove deposits if the drinking trough is large or used frequently, potentially requiring additional cleaning measures. The existing devices also suggest placing the waste tray cover on the trough bottom to facilitate waste deposition. However, the design of the waste tray may result in uneven waste deposition, particularly in areas where the cover aligns with the longitudinal seams, where more waste may accumulate and require regular cleaning. Furthermore, the existing devices only provide sedimentation and cleaning functions and cannot clean the entire trough, especially for deposits adhering to the trough walls, which may require additional cleaning steps. Finally, the inclined design used in the existing devices to facilitate sedimentation and cleaning may reduce the stability of the drinking trough and increase maintenance difficulties.

[0004] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems existing in the relevant technologies, such as the inability of the existing water trough wall cleaning devices to operate when dairy cows are drinking. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic cleaning water trough that prevents accidental injury, thereby solving the problem that existing water trough wall cleaning devices cannot operate while dairy cows are drinking.

[0177] In some embodiments, the second drive element 62 includes, but is not limited to, a reciprocating stepper motor.

[0178] The method of using this invention is as follows:

[0179] (a) Dirt adsorption

[0180] When the cows drink water, the dirt in the water comes into contact with the surface of the attachment element 23 and is adsorbed onto the surface of the attachment element 23.

[0181] (II) Cleaning up dirt

[0182] The operation control unit 70 starts the first drive element 24, and the transmission element 21 drives the transmission in a clockwise direction, while simultaneously driving the attachment element 23 and the third rotating element 22 to rotate.

[0183] At this time, a relative displacement occurs between the surface of the attachment element 23 and the first cleaning element 31. When the dirt on the attachment element 23 passes through the first cleaning element 31, it falls off the surface of the attachment element 23 and enters the second liquid-holding element 12.

[0184] The operation control unit 70 activates the pressurizing element 51, the second driving element 62, and the third cleaning element 52 to flush the dirt in the second liquid holding element 12 and discharge it into the sewage system through the sewage discharge element 61.

[0185] The advantage of this invention is that by setting a rotatable attachment unit and a first cleaning unit on one side and the bottom of the liquid holding unit respectively, the dirt in the drinking trough can be cleaned without affecting the cow's drinking. At the same time, it can also prevent the first cleaning unit from accidentally injuring the cow, thus solving the problem that existing drinking trough wall cleaning devices cannot operate when the cow is drinking.

It is used to seal the partition unit 40 under the action of the control unit 70 to prevent dirt from entering the upper part of the partition unit 40 under the rinsing of the second cleaning unit 50.

[0189] like Figure 9 As shown, the partition unit 40 also includes a first sliding element 44. The first sliding element 44 is disposed on the side of the partition unit 40 and is slidably connected to the sealing unit 80.

[0190] Specifically, the first sliding element 44 is disposed at the end of the first filter element 41.

[0191] In some embodiments, there are two first sliding elements 44. The two first sliding elements 44 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first filter element 41.

Generally, the axial dimension (e.g., length) of the base plate is equal to the axial dimension (e.g., length) of the top plate, the radial dimension (e.g., width) of the base plate is not less than the radial dimension (e.g., width) of the top plate, and the height of the base plate is equal to the height of the top plate.

[0198] In some of these embodiments, the first sliding element 44 is a slide rail.

[0199] like Figure 10 As shown, the sealing unit 80 includes a second sliding element 81, a sealing element 82, and a third driving element 83. The second sliding element 81 is disposed at the bottom of the partition unit 40 and is slidably connected to it. The end of the sealing element 82 is connected to the second sliding element 81 and is used to reciprocate horizontally under the action of the second sliding element 81 to prevent dirt from entering the upper part of the partition unit 40 under the rinsing action of the second cleaning unit 50. The third driving element 83 is disposed on the second sliding element 81 and connected to the control unit 70, and is used to drive the second sliding element 81 to reciprocate horizontally under the action of the control unit 70.

[0200] Specifically, the second sliding element 81 is slidably connected to the first sliding element 44; the sealing element 82 is disposed at the bottom of the first filter element 41.

[0207] In some of these embodiments, the third drive element 83 includes, but is not limited to, a stepper motor.

[0208] The method of using this invention is as follows:

[0210] The pressurization element 51 is activated to clean the interior of the second liquid-containing element 12.

[0211] The advantage of this invention is that by setting an openable / closeable sealing unit, dirt can be prevented from being flushed into the upper part of the partition unit when cleaning the liquid holding unit, thus avoiding secondary pollution of the water source.
