The basin body defines a water storage space. A first open port is formed at the top of the basin body, and a second open port is formed at the bottom of the basin body. The cover body is pivotally connected to the edge of the basin body to cover or open the first open port. The sediment assembly comprises a partition and a blocking piece. The partition is movably arranged in the basin body and divides the water storage space into a clean water space and a sediment space. A communication gap is formed between the partition and the inner circumferential wall of the basin body. The blocking piece is movably arranged in the second open port and connected to the partition. The cover body is drivingly connected to the blocking piece and used for driving the movement of the sediment assembly.

The impurities in the basin body are discharged in time.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a drinking basin for livestock. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, farmers regularly add clean water to livestock water bowls, which the animals then drink from. However, some livestock have dense hair around their mouths, and debris easily adheres to their mouths. When the animals drink, this debris and hair can easily enter the water bowls. The impurities in the water bowls need to be manually cleaned, increasing the labor intensity for farmers. Furthermore, when impurities accumulate in the water bowls over a long period, the liquid is prone to spoilage and the growth of bacteria and viruses. Drinking this liquid again can negatively impact the health of the livestock. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to reduce the accumulation of impurities in livestock drinking troughs and to ensure that the impurities in livestock drinking troughs can be discharged into the external environment in a timely manner, this application provides a livestock drinking trough.

[0004] The technical solution for a livestock drinking basin provided in this application is as follows:

[0005] A livestock drinking basin includes: a basin body and a cover body, the basin body defining a water storage space, the top of the basin body forming a first open opening, the bottom of the basin body forming a second open opening, the cover body being pivotally connected to the side wall edge of the basin body for sealing or opening the first open opening; and a sedimentation assembly, the sedimentation assembly including a separator and a sealing member, the separator being movably disposed within the basin body in the height direction of the basin body, the separator forming a communicating gap with the inner peripheral wall of the basin body, the separator dividing the water storage space into a clean water space and a sedimentation space, the clean water space being located above the sedimentation space, the sedimentation space being used to contain impurities, the sealing member being movably disposed at the second open opening and connected and cooperating with the separator, and the cover body being drively connected to the sealing member for driving the sedimentation assembly to move relative to the basin body.

[0006] When the cover rotates relative to the basin to close the first opening, the sealing member closes the second opening, and at the same time the communication gap increases to connect the water purification space and the sedimentation space.

[0007] When the cover rotates relative to the basin to open the first opening, the sealing member opens the second opening, and at the same time the communication gap decreases to block the water purification space and the sedimentation space.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover drives the sedimentation component to move relative to the basin. When the cover closes the first opening, the separator connects the clean water space and the sedimentation space, and the sealing component blocks the second opening. Impurities in the basin settle into the sedimentation space. When the cover opens the first opening, the separator blocks the clean water space and the sedimentation space, and the sealing component opens the second opening. Impurities and liquid in the sedimentation space are discharged to the external environment through the second opening. Compared with existing technologies, farmers do not need to frequently clean the impurities in the livestock drinking basin, and can promptly discharge the impurities into the external environment, thereby reducing the accumulation of impurities in the livestock drinking basin and improving the user experience.

[0009] Preferably, a transmission rod is connected between the cover and the sealing member. The transmission rod is movably disposed on the outside of the basin. The transmission rod includes a first transmission part, a second transmission part, and a connecting part. The cover has an arc-shaped first driving groove. One end of the first transmission part is connected to the first driving part, which is slidably embedded in the first driving groove. One end of the second transmission part is connected to the sealing member. Both the first transmission part and the second transmission part extend downward along the height direction of the basin. The connecting part connects the other end of the first transmission part and the other end of the second transmission part.

[0010] When the cover is opened, the cover drives the first driving part to move along the first driving groove, the transmission rod drives the sealing member to move relative to the basin along the height direction, and the sealing member drives the partition member to move relative to the basin along the height direction.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cover opens the first opening, the cover drives the first driving part to move downward along the first driving groove. The transmission rod drives the sealing member to move away from the second opening to open the second opening. Simultaneously, the sealing member drives the partition member to move closer to the second opening. The partition member abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the basin to block the clean water space and the sedimentation space, thereby achieving the technical effect of allowing liquid and impurities in the sedimentation space to be discharged to the external environment through the second opening. Furthermore, when the cover closes the first opening, the cover drives the first driving part to move upward along the first driving groove. The transmission rod drives the sealing member to move closer to the second opening and abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin to close the second opening. Simultaneously, the sealing member drives the partition member to move away from the second opening. The partition member separates from the inner peripheral wall of the basin to connect the clean water space and the sedimentation space, thereby achieving the technical effect of allowing impurities in the basin to settle in the sedimentation space.

[0012] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the basin is provided with a first guide structure, and the transmission rod is provided with a second guide structure, with the first guide structure and the second guide structure providing a guiding fit.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the guiding cooperation of the first guide structure and the second guide structure can prevent the transmission rod from deviating from the preset movement trajectory, thereby avoiding the sealing part from failing to abut against the inner circumferential wall of the basin to close the second opening, and thus improving the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the separator near the sealing member is provided with a second driving groove, the second driving groove extends along the height direction, and the end of the sealing member near the separator is provided with a second driving part, the second driving part is slidably disposed in the second driving groove and limitedly engaged with the second driving groove, the second driving part is adapted to abut against the top wall or bottom wall of the second driving groove, so that the sealing member drives the separator to move relative to the basin along the height direction.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sealing component is driven to move closer to the second open opening, the second driving part moves away from the second open opening along the second driving groove and abuts against the top wall of the second driving groove. The second driving part drives the partition component to move away from the second open opening, thereby connecting the water purification space and the sedimentation space. When the sealing component is driven away from the second open opening, the second driving part moves closer to the second open opening along the second driving groove and abuts against the bottom wall of the second driving groove. The second driving part drives the partition component to move closer to the second open opening, thereby blocking the water purification space and the sedimentation space. Thus, the technical effect of the sealing component driving the partition component to move relative to the basin body to connect or block the water purification space and the sedimentation space can be achieved.

[0016] Preferably, an elastically deformable element is connected between the sealing element and the separating element, the elastic element being used to drive the separating element to move in a direction that reduces the size of the communication gap.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sealing component is driven away from the second opening, the sealing component drives the partition component to move closer to the second opening and abut against the inner circumferential wall of the basin. The elastic component is stretched by the sealing component, and the elastic component applies a pulling force to the partition component towards the second opening. Under the action of the pulling force, along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin, the lower end wall of the partition component is tightly fitted to the basin, thereby minimizing the flow of liquid in the water purification space into the sedimentation space, and thus improving the sealing effect of the partition component in sealing the water purification space.

[0018] Preferably, the basin is constructed as a cone, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the basin gradually decreases from the first opening to the second opening.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by constructing the basin as a cone, the impurities in the basin flow along the inner wall of the basin to the sedimentation space, thereby minimizing the retention of impurities in the basin on the inner wall of the basin and maximizing the discharge of impurities from the basin to the external environment, thus improving the working reliability of livestock drinking basins.

[0020] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the sealing member is provided with a receiving groove, the receiving groove is provided with a first sealing member, the first sealing member being adapted to abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin; the bottom wall of the partition member is provided with a second sealing member, the second sealing member being adapted to abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first sealing element abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the basin, and the first sealing element is used to seal the gap between the sealing element and the inner circumferential wall of the basin, thereby preventing liquid in the basin from flowing out to the external environment through the second opening. Furthermore, the lower end wall of the second sealing element abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the basin, and the second sealing element is used to seal the gap between the partition element and the inner circumferential wall of the basin, thereby preventing liquid in the purified water space from flowing into the sedimentation space.

[0022] Preferably, the bottom wall of the basin is provided with a limiting member, which includes a limiting part and a connecting part. The limiting part is opposite to and spaced apart from the second opening. The connecting part is connected between the limiting part and the side wall of the second opening. The sealing member is movably disposed between the limiting part and the second opening. The sealing member is adapted to abut against the limiting part. The limiting part is used to limit the movement stroke of the sealing member. The outer peripheral wall of the connecting part is provided with a drainage hole.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sealing member is driven away from the second opening, the sealing member and the limiting part stop to restrict the movement of the sealing member, thereby preventing the sealing member from separating from the basin body and preventing the sealing member from failing to close the second opening due to the sealing member not being able to face the second opening, thus improving the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin.

[0024] Preferably, the end wall of the separator away from the sealing member is constructed as a guide spherical surface. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide spherical surface gradually increases from the first opening to the second opening. The guide spherical surface is used to guide impurities in the basin.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the impurities in the basin can be guided by the guide ball surface, which can prevent the impurities in the basin from accumulating on the separator as much as possible, so that the impurities in the basin can be settled in the sedimentation space, thereby improving the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin.

[0026] Preferably, the livestock drinking basin further includes a water supply device, which is connected to the basin body and is used to supply water into the basin body.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the water supply device supplies water to the basin according to the liquid level in the basin, so as to maintain the liquid level in the basin at the preset liquid level, thereby avoiding the situation where the liquid level in the basin is too low and livestock cannot drink water through the livestock drinking basin.

[0028] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. The cover moves the sedimentation component relative to the basin. When the cover closes the first opening, the separator connects the clean water space and the sedimentation space, and the sealing component blocks the second opening. Impurities in the basin settle into the sedimentation space. When the cover opens the first opening, the separator blocks the clean water space and the sedimentation space, and the sealing component opens the second opening. Impurities and liquid in the sedimentation space are discharged to the external environment through the second opening. Compared with existing technologies, farmers do not need to frequently clean the impurities in the livestock drinking basin, and can promptly discharge the impurities into the external environment, thereby reducing the accumulation of impurities in the livestock drinking basin and improving the user experience.

[0030] 2. Through the guiding cooperation of the first guide structure and the second guide structure, the transmission rod can be prevented from deviating from the preset movement trajectory, thereby avoiding the sealing part from failing to abut against the inner circumferential wall of the basin to close the second opening, thus improving the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin.

[0031] 3. When the sealing member is driven away from the second opening, the sealing member and the limiting part stop each other to limit the movement of the sealing member, thereby preventing the sealing member from separating from the basin body and preventing the sealing member from failing to close the second opening due to not being able to face the second opening. This improves the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0048] This application discloses a livestock drinking basin 100.

[0049] Reference Figures 1-3According to the embodiments of this application, the livestock drinking basin 100 includes: a basin body 1, a cover body 2, and a sedimentation component 3. The basin body 1 defines a water storage space 11, the top of the basin body 1 forms a first opening 12, and the bottom of the basin body 1 forms a second opening 13. Specifically, along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100, the top of the basin body 1 can refer to the upper end of the basin body 1, and the bottom of the basin body 1 can refer to the lower end of the basin body 1. The height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100 can refer to... Figure 2 The up and down directions in the middle.

[0050] Furthermore, the cover 2 is pivotally connected to the side wall edge of the basin 1 for sealing or opening the first opening 12. Specifically, the animal is adapted to drive the cover 2 to rotate closer to or away from the first opening 12 to close or open the first opening 12. In some specific embodiments, the animal can be a pig. The pig can arch the cover 2 with its mouth to make the cover 2 rotate away from the first opening 12 about the pivot axis between the cover 2 and the basin 1 to open the first opening 12. After the pig finishes drinking, under the action of gravity, the cover 2 rotates closer to the first opening 12 about the pivot axis between the cover 2 and the basin 1 to close the first opening 12. When the cover 2 closes the basin 1, the cover 2 can prevent pollutants from the external environment from entering the basin 1, thereby avoiding the liquid in the basin 1 from being contaminated by pollutants from the external environment, and thus reducing the probability of the animal getting sick.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, a pivot 17 is provided on the side edge of the basin 1. The pivot 17 passes through the cover 2 and is pivotally connected to the cover 2. When the cover 2 is driven, the cover 2 moves closer to or away from the basin 1 around the central axis of the pivot 17 so that the cover 2 seals or opens the first opening 12.

[0052] Furthermore, the cover 2 is provided with a stop part suitable for being driven by livestock. The livestock can drive the stop part with its head to rotate the cover 2 away from the first opening 12 around the pivot axis between the cover 2 and the basin 1 to open the first opening 12. The shape of the stop part can be matched according to the head shape of different kinds of livestock, thereby reducing the difficulty for livestock to drive the cover 2 to open the first opening 12.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the basin 1 can be constructed in a cylindrical shape, but this application is not limited to this. The basin 1 can also be constructed in a funnel shape, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the basin 1 gradually decreases from the first opening 12 to the second opening 13.

[0054] It should be noted that the height direction of basin 1 is the same as that of livestock drinking basin 100.

[0055] The sedimentation component 3 includes a separator 31 and a sealing component 32. The separator 31 is movably disposed within the basin 1. Specifically, the separator 31 is movably disposed between the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 in the height direction of the basin 1. A communication gap 14 is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the separator 31 and the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1. The separator 31 divides the water storage space 11 into a clean water space 111 and a sedimentation space 112. In the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100, the clean water space 111 is located above the sedimentation space 112. The sedimentation space 112 is used to contain impurities. Specifically, under the action of gravity, the impurities in the basin 1 sink to the sedimentation space 112 to reduce the amount of impurities in the clean water space 111. Livestock drink the liquid in the clean water space 111, thereby minimizing the intake of impurities in the basin 1 by the livestock when drinking the liquid, and thus minimizing the intake of large amounts of impurities that could cause livestock to become ill.

[0056] It should be noted that the liquid capacity in the water purification space 111 is slightly larger than the amount of water that livestock can drink at one time, thereby reducing liquid waste and improving the environmental friendliness of the livestock water bowl 100. Furthermore, after the livestock have finished drinking, the volume of the sedimentation space 112 can completely accommodate the impurities in the water purification space 111, thus preventing the impurities in the water purification space 111 from failing to settle completely in the sedimentation space 112, thereby improving the operational reliability of the livestock water bowl 100.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, the impurities may be feed residues, but this application is not limited to this; the impurities may also be soil, etc.

[0058] Furthermore, farmers can replace the basin 1 with different sizes according to different types of livestock, and farmers can also replace the basin 1 with different sizes according to different growth stages of livestock, so that the liquid volume in the water purification space 111 is slightly larger than the drinking volume of different types of livestock and the drinking volume of livestock at different growth stages, and the volume of the sedimentation space 112 can fully accommodate the impurities in the water purification space 111. The livestock drinking basin 100 can be matched with different types of livestock and livestock at different growth stages, thereby improving the user experience of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0059] It should be noted that the application of the livestock water bowl 100 to pig feeding in the above embodiments is only one application scenario of the livestock water bowl 100. In other specific embodiments, the livestock water bowl 100 can also be used for feeding cattle and sheep.

[0060] Furthermore, the sealing member 32 is movably disposed at the second opening 13 and connected and cooperates with the separator 31. The cover 2 is drivenly connected to the sealing member 32 to drive the sedimentation assembly 3 to move relative to the basin 1. When the cover 2 rotates relative to the basin 1 to close the first opening 12, the sealing member 32 closes the second opening 13. At the same time, the communication gap 14 increases to connect the clean water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112. When the cover 2 opens the first opening 12, the sealing member 32 opens the second opening 13, and the communication gap 14 decreases to block the clean water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112.

[0061] Specifically, when the cover 2 closes the first opening 12, the cover 2 moves the sealing member 32 closer to the second opening 13. The sealing member 32 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 to close the second opening 13. Simultaneously, the sealing member 32 moves the separator 31 in the direction of increasing the communication gap 14. That is, the sealing member 32 moves closer to the first opening 12 so that the separator 31 connects the clean water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112, thereby achieving the technical effect that impurities in the basin 1 settle in the sedimentation space 112.

[0062] When the cover 2 rotates relative to the basin 1 to open the first opening 12, the cover 2 drives the sealing member 32 away from the second opening 13. The sealing member 32 separates from the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 to open the second opening 13. At the same time, the sealing member 32 drives the separator 31 to move in the direction of reducing the communication gap 14. That is, the sealing member 32 moves away from the first opening 12 so that the separator 31 blocks the water purification space 111 and the sedimentation space 112. Impurities and liquids in the sedimentation space 112 are discharged to the external environment through the second opening 13. By blocking the water purification space 111 and the sedimentation space 112 through the separator 31, the liquid in the water purification space 111 can be prevented from flowing out to the external environment through the second opening 13. This can reduce the number of times farmers inject water into the basin 1, reduce the labor intensity of farmers, and improve the user experience of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0063] In some specific embodiments, the separator 31 can also be configured as a rotary valve. The separator 31 is pivotally mounted inside the basin 1. The separator 31 is adapted to rotate about the pivot axis between the separator 31 and the basin 1, moving closer to or away from the first opening 12, to connect or block the purified water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112. When the cover 2 closes the first opening 12, the sealing member 32 drives the separator 31 to rotate closer to the first opening 12 to connect the purified water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112. When the cover 2 opens the first opening 12, the sealing member 32 drives the separator 31 to rotate away from the first opening 12 to block the purified water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112.

[0064] Furthermore, there are multiple water purification spaces 111, sedimentation spaces 112, covers 2, separators 31, and sealing components 32. These multiple water purification spaces 111, sedimentation spaces 112, covers 2, separators 31, and sealing components 32 are all spaced apart along the radial direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. Multiple livestock can drink water in multiple water purification spaces 111 at the same time, thereby improving the user experience of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0065] Therefore, the cover 2 drives the sedimentation component 3 to move relative to the basin 1. When the cover 2 closes the first opening 12, the separator 31 connects the clean water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112, and the sealing component 32 seals the second opening 13. Impurities in the basin 1 settle into the sedimentation space 112. When the cover 2 opens the first opening 12, the separator 31 blocks the clean water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112, and the sealing component 32 opens the second opening 13. Impurities and liquid in the sedimentation space 112 are discharged to the external environment through the second opening 13. Compared with the prior art, farmers do not need to frequently clean the impurities in the livestock drinking basin 100, and can promptly discharge the impurities in the livestock drinking basin 100 to the external environment, thereby reducing the accumulation of impurities in the livestock drinking basin 100 and improving the user experience of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, a transmission rod 4 is connected between the cover 2 and the sealing member 32. The transmission rod 4 is movably disposed on the outside of the basin 1. The cover 2 has a first drive groove 21 with an arc shape. The transmission rod 4 includes a first transmission part 43, a second transmission part 44 and a connecting part 45. One end of the first transmission part 43 is connected to the first drive part 41. The first drive part 41 is slidably embedded in the first drive groove 21. One end of the second transmission part 44 is connected and cooperates with the sealing member 32. Both the first transmission part 43 and the second transmission part 44 extend downward along the height direction of the basin 1. The connecting part 45 connects the other end of the first transmission part 43 and the other end of the second transmission part 44.

[0067] Specifically, along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100, the upper end of the first transmission part 43 is provided with a first drive part 41, the upper end of the second transmission part 44 is connected and cooperated with the sealing member 32, the lower end of the first transmission part 43 and the lower end of the second transmission part 44 both extend downward along the height direction of the basin body 1, and the connecting part 45 is connected between the lower end of the first transmission part 43 and the lower end of the second transmission part 44. That is to say, the shape of the transmission rod 4 is "U". It should be noted that the diameter of the sealing member 32 is larger than the diameter of the second opening 13.

[0068] When the cover 2 is driven, the cover 2 drives the first drive part 41 to move along the first drive groove 21, and the transmission rod 4 drives the sealing part 32 to move relative to the basin 1 along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. The sealing part 32 drives the partition part 31 to move relative to the basin 1 along the height direction.

[0069] Specifically, when the cover 2 opens the first opening 12, the cover 2 rotates away from the first opening 12 around the pivot axis between the cover 2 and the basin 1. The cover 2 drives the first driving part 41 to move downward along the first driving groove 21. The transmission rod 4 drives the sealing member 32 to move away from the second opening 13 to open the second opening. At the same time, the sealing member 32 drives the partition member 31 to move closer to the second opening 13. The partition member 31 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 to block the water purification space 111 and the sedimentation space 112. Thus, the liquid and impurities in the sedimentation space 112 can be discharged to the external environment through the second opening 13.

[0070] When the cover 2 closes the first opening 12, the cover 2 rotates around the pivot axis between the cover 2 and the basin 1 and approaches the first opening 12. The cover 2 drives the first driving part 41 to move upward along the first driving groove 21. The transmission rod 4 drives the sealing member 32 to move close to the second opening 13 and abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 to close the second opening. At the same time, the sealing member 32 drives the separator 31 to move away from the second opening 13. The separator 31 separates from the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 to connect the water purification space 111 and the sedimentation space 112, thereby achieving the technical effect that impurities in the basin 1 settle in the sedimentation space 112.

[0071] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral wall of the basin 1 is provided with a first guide structure 15, and the transmission rod 4 is provided with a second guide structure 42. The first guide structure 15 and the second guide structure 42 are guided and engaged. Specifically, one of the first guide structure 15 and the second guide structure 42 can be constructed as a guide protrusion, and the other can be constructed as a guide recess. The guide protrusion extends into the guide recess so that the first guide structure 15 and the second guide structure 42 are guided and engaged.

[0072] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the first guide structure 15 is constructed as a guide protrusion, and the second guide structure 42 is constructed as a guide recess. The guide recess penetrates the transmission rod 4, and the guide protrusion passes through the guide recess. Through the guiding cooperation of the first guide structure 15 and the second guide structure 42, the transmission rod 4 can be prevented from deviating from the preset movement trajectory. This can prevent the sealing member 32 from failing to abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 to close the second opening 13, thereby improving the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0073] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of this application, a second driving groove 311 is provided at the end of the separator 31 near the sealing member 32. The second driving groove 311 extends along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. A second driving part 321 is provided at the end of the sealing member 32 near the separator 31. The second driving part 321 extends into the second driving groove 311 and is slidably disposed in the second driving groove 311 and limitedly engaged with the second driving groove 311. The second driving part 321 is adapted to abut against the top wall or bottom wall of the second driving groove 311, so that the sealing member 32 drives the separator 31 to move relative to the basin 1 along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. The top wall of the second driving groove 311 refers to the upper end wall of the second driving groove 311, and the bottom wall of the second driving groove 311 refers to the lower end wall of the second driving groove 311.

[0074] Specifically, when the sealing member 32 is driven to move closer to the second opening 13, the second driving part 321 moves away from the second opening 13 along the second driving groove 311 and abuts against the top wall of the second driving groove 311. The second driving part 321 drives the separator 31 to move away from the second opening 13, thereby connecting the purified water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112. When the sealing member 32 is driven away from the second opening 13, the second driving part 321 moves closer to the second opening 13 along the second driving groove 311 and abuts against the bottom wall of the second driving groove 311. The second driving part 321 drives the separator 31 to move closer to the second opening 13, thereby blocking the purified water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112. Thus, the technical effect of the sealing member 32 driving the separator 31 to move relative to the basin 1 to connect or block the purified water space 111 and the sedimentation space 112 can be achieved.

[0075] Furthermore, by limiting the engagement between the second drive unit 321 and the second drive groove 311, the second drive unit 321 can be prevented from disengaging from the second drive groove 311.

[0076] Furthermore, there can be two second drive grooves 311, which are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the first direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. A second drive unit 321 is located between the two second drive grooves 311, extending into both. The sealing member 32, through the second drive unit 321, simultaneously abuts against the top or bottom wall of both second drive grooves 311, thereby driving the separator 31 to move relative to the basin body 1 along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. This arrangement allows the sealing member 32 to drive the separator 31 more smoothly, minimizing the risk of tilting and improving the operational reliability of the livestock drinking basin 100. The first direction of the livestock drinking basin 100 can refer to... Figure 7 The front and back directions in the middle.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, an elastically deformable elastic element 5 is connected between the blocking element 32 and the separating element 31. The elastic element 5 is used to drive the separating element 31 to move in a direction that reduces the size of the communication gap 14. In some specific embodiments, the elastic element 5 can be a spring, but this application is not limited to this. The elastic element 5 can also be a tension spring, etc.

[0078] Specifically, when the sealing member 32 is driven away from the second opening 13, the sealing member 32 drives the partition member 31 to move closer to the second opening 13 and abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1. The elastic member 5 is stretched by the sealing member 32, and the elastic member 5 applies a pulling force to the partition member 31 toward the second opening 13. Under the action of the pulling force, along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100, the lower end wall of the partition member 31 is tightly fitted with the basin 1, thereby minimizing the flow of liquid in the water purification space 111 into the sedimentation space 112, and thus improving the sealing effect of the partition member 31 in sealing the water purification space 111.

[0079] Furthermore, there are multiple elastic elements 5, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. Each elastic element 5 applies a pulling force to the separator 31 toward the second opening 13, so that the lower end wall of the separator 31 fits more tightly with the basin body 1, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the separator 31 in sealing the water purification space 111.

[0080] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the basin 1 is constructed as a cone shape, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the basin 1 gradually decreases from the first opening 12 to the second opening 13. By constructing the basin 1 as a cone shape, when impurities in the basin 1 settle to the sedimentation space 112, the impurities in the basin 1 flow along the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 to the sedimentation space 112, thereby minimizing the retention of impurities in the basin 1 on the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 and maximizing the discharge of impurities in the basin 1 to the external environment, thereby improving the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0081] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral wall of the sealing member 32 is provided with a receiving groove 322, and the receiving groove 322 is provided with a first sealing member 323. Both the shape of the receiving groove 322 and the shape of the first sealing member 323 are annular. The first sealing member 323 is adapted to abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1. Specifically, when the sealing member 32 is driven to move closer to the second opening 13 and the sealing member 32 blocks the second opening 13, the first sealing member 323 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1. The first sealing member 323 is used to seal the gap between the sealing member 32 and the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1, thereby preventing liquid in the basin 1 from flowing out to the external environment through the second opening 13. When the sealing member 32 is driven away from the second opening 13, the first sealing member 323 separates from the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1.

[0082] Furthermore, a second sealing element 312 is provided on the bottom wall of the separator 31. The second sealing element 312 is adapted to abut against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1. Specifically, when the separator 31 is driven to move closer to the second opening 13 and block the water purification space 111 and the sedimentation space 112, the lower end wall of the second sealing element 312 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1 along the height direction of the livestock drinking basin 100. The second sealing element 312 is used to seal the gap between the separator 31 and the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1, thereby preventing liquid in the water purification space 111 from flowing into the sedimentation space 112. When the separator 31 is driven away from the second opening 13 to connect the water purification space 111 and the sedimentation space 112, the lower end wall of the second sealing element 312 separates from the inner peripheral wall of the basin 1.

[0083] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, a limiting member 16 is provided on the bottom wall of the livestock drinking basin 100 along its height direction. The limiting member 16 includes a limiting part 161 and a connecting part 162. The limiting part 161 is opposite to and spaced apart from the second opening 13. The connecting part 162 is connected between the side walls of the limiting part 161 and the second opening 13. A sealing member 32 is movably disposed between the limiting part 161 and the second opening 13. The sealing member 32 is adapted to be connected to the limiting part 161. The stop and limit part 161 is used to limit the movement of the sealing member 32. Specifically, when the sealing member 32 is driven away from the second opening 13, the sealing member 32 and the limit part 161 stop each other to limit the movement of the sealing member 32. This can prevent the sealing member 32 from separating from the basin 1, and can prevent the sealing member 32 from being unable to face the second opening 13, thus preventing the sealing member 32 from being unable to close the second opening 13. This can improve the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0084] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the connecting part 162 is provided with a drain hole 163, which is a through hole, through which liquid and impurities in the sedimentation space 112 flow out to the external environment.

[0085] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the end wall of the separator 31 away from the sealing member 32 is constructed as a guide spherical surface. Specifically, the guide spherical surface is hemispherical in shape, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide spherical surface gradually increases from the first opening 12 to the second opening 13. The guide spherical surface is used to guide impurities in the basin 1.

[0086] Specifically, when impurities in the basin 1 settle to the settling space 112, the guide ball guides the impurities in the basin 1, which can prevent the impurities in the basin 1 from accumulating on the separator 31 as much as possible, so that the impurities in the basin 1 settle to the settling space 112, thereby improving the working reliability of the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0087] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the livestock drinking basin 100 may further include a water supply device 6, which is connected to the basin body 1 and is used to supply water to the basin body 1.

[0088] Specifically, the water supply device 6 supplies water to the basin 1 according to the liquid level in the basin 1, so as to maintain the liquid level in the basin 1 at the preset liquid level, thereby avoiding the situation where the liquid level in the basin 1 is too low and the livestock cannot drink water through the livestock drinking basin 100.

[0089] In some specific embodiments, the water supply device 6 may include a negative pressure water level controller, a water supply pipe and a water delivery pipe. The negative pressure water level controller is connected between the water supply pipe and the water delivery pipe. The water supply pipe is connected to an external water source, and the water delivery pipe is connected to the clean water space 111. When the liquid level in the basin 1 is not lower than the preset liquid level, the end of the water delivery pipe near the basin 1 is blocked by the liquid level in the basin 1. Air cannot enter the negative pressure water level controller through the water delivery pipe. A negative pressure is formed inside the negative pressure water level controller to block the water supply pipe and the water delivery pipe.

[0090] When the liquid level in basin 1 is lower than the preset liquid level, air enters the negative pressure water level controller through the water supply pipe. The air pressure in the negative pressure water level controller changes from negative pressure to positive pressure and connects the water supply pipe and the water delivery pipe. The external water source supplies water to basin 1 through the water supply pipe and the water delivery pipe.

[0091] In some other specific embodiments, the water supply device 6 may include a level detection element, a controller, a control valve, and a water supply pipe. The level detection element is disposed inside the basin 1. One end of the water supply pipe is connected to an external water source, and the other end of the water supply pipe is connected to the clean water space 111. The control valve is disposed on the water supply pipe and is used to open or close the water supply pipe. The controller is communicatively connected to both the level detection element and the control valve and is used to control the control valve to open or close according to the detection signal of the level detection element.

[0092] Specifically, when the liquid level in basin 1 is lower than the preset liquid level, the liquid level detection device is triggered and generates a first detection signal. The controller then controls the control valve to open based on the first detection signal, allowing external water to be supplied to basin 1 through the water pipe. When the liquid level in basin 1 is not lower than the preset liquid level, the liquid level detection device is triggered and generates a second detection signal. The controller then controls the control valve to close based on the second detection signal.

[0093] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
