Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an intelligent animal drinking water heating device, belonging to the field of breeding. Background Art
[0002] According to market research, the drinking water methods of small-scale farmers, some scattered farmers and dairy farms in the livestock breeding industry can no longer meet the quality and safety requirements. Problems include: simple equipment, inability to automatically fill water, manual one-time water filling, and long-term unmaintained equipment leading to the breeding of various microorganisms in the equipment. Large-scale breeding units use some drinking water equipment with heating functions, but most of the drinking water equipment is of elementary level, with poor thermal insulation, high power consumption of heating methods, and high failure rate of heating devices.
[0003] In the process of animal husbandry production management, the amount of drinking water is directly related to the health of cattle. It is one of the most critical links in feeding management, and it is often forgotten and neglected. Studies have shown that the drinking water temperature of cattle in winter should not be lower than 10℃. If the drinking water device is not insulated in winter, it is easy to freeze. Drinking cold water can cause various diseases in cattle, reduce milk production or poor growth of beef cattle. With the development of the industrial age, animal husbandry has gradually entered the ranks of electrification and intelligence, and various breeding machinery and equipment have emerged. In order to improve the economic benefits of the breeding industry, improve energy utilization, and liberate the physical labor of daily breeding managers, it has become a top priority to provide animals with sufficient drinking water at a suitable temperature. In order to solve the above problems, the market urgently needs a product with good thermal insulation performance, low power consumption and high safety performance. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent heating animal drinking water device, and the technical solution of the present invention is: An intelligent heating animal drinking water device comprises a drinking trough body, a water inlet assembly, a temperature monitoring assembly, a heating assembly, a heat preservation assembly and a protection assembly, wherein the water inlet assembly is installed on the drinking trough body, the temperature monitoring assembly, the heating assembly and the heat preservation assembly are installed at the lower part of the drinking trough body, and the protection assembly is installed at the side of the drinking trough body, wherein the drinking trough body is used to hold and provide drinking water for animals, ensuring that the animals can easily obtain water; The water inlet assembly is used to automatically fill the water tank with water, ensuring that the water tank always has a set water capacity; The temperature monitoring component is used to monitor the water temperature in the drinking trough in real time, ensure that the water temperature is maintained within the temperature range for animals to drink, and provide a control signal for the heating component; The heating component is used to start the heating function to increase the water temperature when it is detected that the water temperature is lower than the preset drinking temperature; The insulation component is used to reduce the heat loss of water in the drinking trough and keep the water temperature stable; The protection component is used to protect the drinking trough body.
[0005] The cover plate is rotatably mounted on the water trough body, one end of the cover plate is hinged on the water trough body, and the other end is opened and closed by locking with the inner wall of the water trough body; a surge-proof space is formed between the cover plate and the water trough body.
[0006] The water inlet assembly includes a water inlet float valve, an adjustable expansion joint, an angle valve and a height adjustment guide tube. An angle valve connected to an external water source is installed on the water trough body in the anti-surge space. The water outlet end of the angle valve is sequentially installed with the adjustable expansion joint and the water inlet float valve. The outside of the water inlet float valve is installed on the water trough body through a height adjustment guide tube.
[0007] The temperature monitoring components are a temperature sensor and an anti-dry burning sensor.
[0008] The heating component comprises a silica gel heating plate and aluminum foil. The upper plate surface of the silica gel heating plate is bonded to the bottom of the drinking trough body, and the lower plate surface is compounded with the aluminum foil.
[0009] The insulation component includes a side wall polyurethane foam layer, a bottom polyurethane foam board and a foam board fixing component. Polyurethane is foamed under pressure in the cavity of the side wall of the water trough to form the side wall polyurethane foam layer. The bottom of the aluminum foil is installed with the bottom polyurethane foam board, which covers the aluminum foil and is installed on the drinking trough body through the foam board fixing component.
[0010] The protection assembly comprises a left guard plate and a right guard plate. The left guard plate is installed on the left side of the drinking trough body, and the right guard plate is installed on the right side.
[0011] The side wall of the inner wall of the drinking trough is arranged in an inclined shape, and the whole is arranged in a trumpet shape which is thick at the top and thin at the bottom.
[0012] A water drain outlet is arranged on the water trough body, and a conical water plug cooperating with the water drain outlet is arranged at the water drain outlet.
[0013] The drinking trough body is made of 304 stainless steel.
[0014] A trough support is arranged at the bottom of the drinking trough body, and a ground plate arranged inward is arranged at the bottom of the trough support. Each of the ground plates is provided with a connection hole for passing an expansion bolt.
[0015] The advantages of the present invention are: 1. The whole machine is made of stainless steel 304, which has good anti-rust and anti-bacteria properties. The wall thickness of all materials is greater than 1.2mm, which can effectively avoid welding deformation and improve the overall consistency of the equipment. It also greatly improves the rigidity and overall strength of the equipment, and the overall anti-collision performance of the equipment is more guaranteed.
[0016] 2. The connection holes of the anchor plate are designed to face inwards, so that the expansion bolts used for fixing will not leak out, which can effectively prevent even-toed ungulates from being injured, and the safety of use is more guaranteed.
[0017] 3. The inner shape of the drinking trough adopts an inverted trumpet design, which can effectively avoid the adhesion and accumulation of dirt on the inner wall of the trough. The dirt will automatically slide to the bottom with the help of the slope, which increases the cleanliness of the heating water trough; it is more convenient for operators to clean the equipment, and at the same time improves the equipment's pollution resistance and cleanliness.
[0018] 4. Use a conical water plug. The conical shape will make the water plug more tightly sealed during use, and there will be no water seepage or leakage even after long-term use. The water plug is made of silicone, which is odorless, food-grade material and more environmentally friendly. The water plug uses a pull ring bolt, which is easy to use. When not in use, the pull ring will be naturally placed horizontally, which can effectively prevent the risk of being taken away by animals.
[0019] 5. The entire circumference of the cover plate is made of sheet metal that is bent and welded, which has high overall strength and is not easy to deform or damage. The sheet metal part of the upper cover plate immersed in water not only ensures the basic requirement of normal water transportation in the water supply chamber, but also has an anti-surge function (the water surface will inevitably fluctuate during animal use. If there is no shielding part of the cover plate, it will affect the water level automatic control water inlet valve: frequent on and off, affecting the service life of the water valve, and also scaring the animals). The design scheme that is higher than the upper edge of both sides of the equipment can increase the diversity of the types of water valves used in the water supply chamber, and will not be limited to a certain type of water supply valve.
[0020] 6. The maximum opening and closing angle of the cover is 180°, which ensures the convenience of use, strong structural strength, reliable use and long service life.
[0021] 7. The cover is locked and opened with a stainless steel touch lock, which is simple and convenient to operate and has good locking security. The lock is located in the water and is not easily touched by animals, which provides better security.
[0022] 8. The foaming density of the polyurethane foam board is greater than 40Kg / m³, and the thermal insulation performance is particularly good. At the same time, the strength of the drinking trough body is greatly improved, and the impact resistance is good; there will be no unevenness on the surface of the drinking trough body.
[0023] 9. The water inlet float valve is used to automatically inlet and replenish water without any operation to ensure sufficient drinking water for animals. The water inlet float valve with suitable materials and specifications should be selected according to the water quality and environment.
[0024] 10. The silicone heating plates are evenly arranged, and the layout is flexible, which can meet the needs of different power solutions.
[0025] 11. A layer of aluminum foil is evenly coated on the outside of the silicone heating plate. The thermal insulation performance of the aluminum foil will further reduce the heat loss. At the same time, the waterproofness of the silicone heating plate is greatly improved through the aluminum foil coating, which increases the safety of the silicone heating plate.
[0026] 12. The two-in-one method of temperature sensor and anti-dry burning sensor simplifies the fixing method of the sensor, and also increases the accuracy of the sensor sensing signal, which is not easy to cause misjudgment due to changes in water flow. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
