Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to pig drinking equipment, specifically to a water-saving pig drinking spout. Background Technology

[0002] Existing document CN117617138A discloses a water-saving intelligent drinking device for pigs, including a water supply system and a shell. The shell is provided with a drinking window for the pig's head to enter, and a drinking spout is provided inside the drinking window. The drinking spout is connected to the water supply system. The shell is circular and fixedly arranged at an angle. The part of the drinking spout for the pig to bite and suck adopts an arc-shaped flat structure. Existing document CN212573852U discloses a water-saving pig drinker, including a duckbill drinker, a valve stem column, a valve stem ball, a mouth gag, and a water pipe. The duckbill drinker further includes a valve stem and a valve body. The tail end of the valve body is connected to the water pipe, and the front end of the valve body is provided with a valve stem. A valve stem column is provided vertically upward on the valve stem, and the valve stem column is rigidly connected to the valve stem. A valve stem ball is provided at the top of the valve stem column. A mouth gag is installed on the outer periphery of the valve body. The mouth gag consists of an upper half and a lower half forming a trumpet-shaped structure. The ends of the upper half and the lower half are connected by a return spring. Protective sleeves are installed on the edges of both the upper half and the lower half. The protective sleeves are covered on the outer periphery of the mouth gag by heat pressing.

[0003] Both of the aforementioned solutions employ a conventional water spout core structure. During use, the pig presses down on the valve stem (i.e., a push-button switch) to open the spout. Once open, water from the supply pipe enters the pig's mouth cavity in a stream, easily wasting water. Therefore, the amount of water wasted needs further optimization and control. Pigs often nudge and play with the water spout's push-button switch. In such cases, an electronically controlled valve combined with a programmed sequence is usually necessary to effectively prevent water waste. Otherwise, a purely mechanical spout is unlikely to prevent water waste (water will flow whenever the pig nudges the push-button switch). More importantly, neither conventional water spouts nor water bowls can achieve water-saving conditions by allowing the pig to actively control the frequency of water entering its mouth (i.e., the frequency of swallowing). Furthermore, the comfort of pigs biting the valve stem (push-button switch) during drinking is poor; improving the comfort of pigs during drinking is also an issue that needs further optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] At least in response to the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a water-saving pig drinking spout.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A water-saving pig drinking spout includes a water bladder with an inlet pipe and an outlet, and a suction component at the outlet. In use, the pig drinks by placing its mouth over the suction component.

[0007] Furthermore, the suction component includes a cylindrical tube with a water outlet at the end of the cylindrical tube, and the inner cavity of the cylindrical tube communicates with the inner cavity of the water bladder; a push switch for controlling the water outlet of the cylindrical tube is provided on the cylindrical tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned push-button switch is provided in two parts, with the first push-button switch facing upwards and the second push-button switch facing downwards. The first push-button switch and the second push-button switch are staggered, and water is only released through the water outlet when both the first push-button switch and the second push-button switch are pressed simultaneously. When a pig pushes a single push-button switch, no water is released, which fundamentally solves the problem of wasting drinking water when pigs push and play.

[0009] Furthermore, the valve assembly connected to the inner cavity of the cylindrical tube by the push switch includes a positioning element one, a spring, a sealing ring, a positioning element two, and a plug. One end of the spring is connected to the positioning element one, and the other end is connected to the plug. The plug is inserted through the through hole of the positioning element two, and the sealing ring is sleeved on the plug. The positioning element two is provided with a through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the stopper is connected to a push-button switch via a Z-shaped lever. The hinge point of the Z-shaped lever is located on the second positioning component, one of the inflection points of the Z-shaped lever rests against the end face of the stopper, and the suspended section of the Z-shaped lever is connected to the push-button switch. This structure significantly reduces the space occupied by the valve assembly, making it easier for pigs to control and drink water.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the cylindrical tube is covered with a silicone layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the water bladder's inner cavity is equipped with a sponge. This structure can further improve the comfort of pigs during drinking and playing, while also providing a deep water purification function.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The solution of this invention can not only achieve deep water conservation in the drinking water system of pigsty, effectively avoid water waste by pigs during drinking and playing, but also ensure the comfort and fun of pigs during drinking and enhance the fun of pigs during playing. When in use, the pig holds the suction component in its mouth and sucks. At this time, the upper and lower jaws of the pig will simultaneously press the first and second push switches, and water will flow out of the water outlet at the end of the cylindrical tube for the pig to drink. In this case, the water is sucked into the pig's mouth, and there is almost no waste of water. When the pig holds the suction component in its mouth and arches (or pushes) the water bladder, the water in the water bladder can be squeezed out further, which helps the pig to actively control the frequency of drinking water entering the pig's mouth (i.e., actively control the frequency of swallowing water) and can increase the fun of drinking water for the pig. When the pig is playing with it, since the pig's mouth will only arch a single push switch, no water will come out at this time, so the water in the water bladder will not flow out and be wasted.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0019] Combination Figures 1 to 4As shown, a water-saving pig drinking spout includes a water bladder 1, with a sponge 4 (made of non-toxic and harmless sponge material) inside the water bladder 1. An inlet pipe 2 and an outlet 3 are provided on the water bladder 1, and a suction component 5 is provided at the outlet 3. The suction component 5 includes a cylindrical tube 10, the outer wall of which is covered with a silicone layer. An outlet hole 11 is provided at the end of the cylindrical tube 10, and the inner cavity of the cylindrical tube 10 communicates with the inner cavity of the water bladder 1. A push-button switch for controlling water output from the cylindrical tube 10 is provided on the cylindrical tube 10. Two push-button switches are provided: a first push-button switch 12 facing upwards and a second push-button switch 13 facing downwards. The first push-button switch 12 and the second push-button switch 13 are staggered, and water only flows through the outlet hole 11 when both the first push-button switch 12 and the second push-button switch 13 are pressed simultaneously.

[0020] In this embodiment, the push-button switch is connected to the valve assembly inside the cylindrical tube 10. The valve assembly includes a positioning element 14, a spring 15, a sealing ring 16, a positioning element 2 17, and a plug 18. One end of the spring 15 is connected to the positioning element 14, and the other end is connected to the plug 18. The plug 18 passes through the through hole 19 on the positioning element 2 17. The sealing ring 16 is sleeved on the plug 18. The positioning element 2 17 has the through hole 19. The plug 18 is connected to the push-button switch via a Z-shaped lever 20. The hinge point 21 of the Z-shaped lever 20 is located on the positioning element 2 17. One of the inflection points 22 of the Z-shaped lever 20 abuts against the end face of the plug 18. The suspended section 23 of the Z-shaped lever 20 is connected to the push-button switch.

[0021] Working principle: such as Figure 3As shown, the pig sucks on the suction component 5 with its mouth. At this time, the upper and lower jaws of the pig's mouth simultaneously press the first push switch 12 and the second push switch 13 (the inner wall of the upper jaw of the pig's mouth presses the second push switch 13, and the inner wall of the lower jaw of the pig's mouth presses the first push switch 12). When the second push switch 13 is pressed, it moves downward, which in turn drives the inflection point 22 of the "Z"-shaped lever 20 to press against the plug 18, causing the plug 18 to move to the right and compress the spring 15. As the plug 18 moves to the right, the sealing ring 16 separates from the positioning element 17, thereby opening the through hole 19 corresponding to the second push switch 13. Similarly, when the first push switch 12 is pressed, it moves up and down, opening the through hole 19 corresponding to the first push switch 12. As long as the two through holes 19 corresponding to the first push switch 12 and the second push switch 13 open simultaneously, the water in the inner cavity of the water bag 1 will flow out through the through hole 19 and the water outlet 11 under pressure, thus providing drinking water for the pigs. Since the first push switch 12 is arranged upwards and the second push switch 13 is arranged downwards, and the first push switch 12 and the second push switch 13 are staggered, the same pig can only press a single push switch at a time. The pig only presses a single push switch (the first push switch 12 or the second push switch 13) through its mouth. In this case, only one through hole 19 is always open, so no water can come out. On the other hand, the limitation of the water bladder 1 also limits the situation where multiple pigs simultaneously press on the same sucking component 5, and can also prevent water from flowing out and being wasted.

[0022] The solution in this embodiment not only achieves deep water conservation in the pigsty's drinking system, effectively preventing water waste during drinking and play, but also ensures the comfort and enjoyment of the pigs during drinking and enhances their playfulness. In use, the pig holds the sucking component in its mouth and sucks (similar to the principle of pigs nursing). At this time, the upper and lower jaws of the pig simultaneously press the first and second push switches, releasing water from the outlet at the end of the cylindrical tube for the pig to drink. In this case, the water is sucked into the pig's mouth, with almost no water waste. When the pig holds the sucking component in its mouth and arches (or pushes) the water bladder, the water inside is further squeezed out, allowing the pig to actively control the frequency of water entering its mouth. (That is, actively controlling the frequency of swallowing water. When the pig holds the sucking component and quickly presses the water bladder, water can be controlled to enter the pig's mouth at a faster frequency. This process is similar to piglets actively seeking their mother's milk.) It can also increase the fun of drinking water for pigs (the water bladder can be used as an object of activity for pigs during the drinking process, and it can also be used as a medium for multiple pigs to interact at the same time). When the pig is playing with it, since the pig's mouth will only press a single button, no water will come out at this time, thus preventing the water in the water bladder from flowing out and being wasted.
