Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drinking trough technology, specifically an adjustable drinking trough for livestock farming. Background Technology

[0002] Water troughs in livestock farming are devices that supply drinking water to farmed animals. Their main function is to provide clean water to livestock to meet their drinking needs. These water troughs can maintain water levels through automatic water supply systems to ensure that animals have water to drink at all times.

[0003] Currently, in the process of raising cattle and horses, water troughs are often set up in the pens where the animals live to facilitate drinking water. Most of these water troughs are open-air, which makes the drinking water susceptible to contamination by dust, bacteria, and other microorganisms in the air. Furthermore, since cattle and horse pens often have poor environments due to the accumulation of feces and a large number of mosquitoes and flies, the fixed opening of the water troughs allows mosquitoes and flies to float on the water surface and lay eggs, causing water pollution. When cattle and horses drink water from these troughs, the contaminated water can negatively impact their health, thus reducing the practicality of livestock water troughs.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an adjustable livestock water trough to address the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable livestock water trough to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that most livestock water troughs are open-air and easily cause water pollution.

[0011] Preferably, the filter assembly further includes a lifting frame, wherein hydraulic rods are provided on the relative inner walls of the lifting frame near the top, one end of each of the two hydraulic rods is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of each of the two sealing plates, the outer surfaces of the two sealing plates are slidably connected to the relative inner walls of the lifting frame, and sealing gaskets are provided on the other side of the outer surfaces of the two sealing plates. Electric push rods are provided on the relative inner walls of the lifting frame near the bottom.

[0012] Preferably, one end of each of the two electric actuators is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the two filter plates, the outer surface of each of the two filter plates is slidably connected to the relative inner wall of the lifting frame, the outer surface of the lifting frame slides against the inner wall of the drinking trough body, a movable sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the lifting frame, a fixed sealing ring is provided between the relative inner walls of the drinking trough body near the bottom, and an output pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drinking trough body.

[0013] Preferably, a solenoid valve is provided on the outer surface of the output pipe, and cylinders are provided on both sides of the inner bottom surface of the water tank body. A bearing plate is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two cylinders. A limit rod is fixed on the inner bottom surface of the water tank body near the center. A third spring is provided on the outer surface of the limit rod. A pressure sensor is provided on the top of the limit rod. The bottom end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the water tank body, and the top end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pressure sensor.

[0014] Preferably, the protective plate has connecting components on its opposite inner walls, and each connecting component includes a pressing rod. The two ends of the two pressing rods slide against the opposite inner walls of the protective plate. The opposite inner walls of the protective plate are fixed with multiple dampers by screws. The two dampers are divided into two groups, and one end of each group of dampers is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the two pressing rods.

[0015] Preferably, a fourth spring is provided on the outer surface of each of the multiple dampers. The multiple fourth springs are divided into two groups.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. When an animal needs to drink, it first moves to the top of the lifting support frame, exerting a downward force on the frame, which moves the protective plate outward of the water trough body, opening the top of the water trough body so the animal can drink. After the animal has finished drinking, the second spring extends under its own elastic force, pushing the protective plate in and out of the water trough body again, thus covering and protecting the drinking water. This solves the problem that most existing livestock water troughs are open-air and prone to water pollution.

[0017] 2. When the protective plate moves outward, it pushes the lifting frame to move outward along the two squeezing rods. When the movable baffle is not in contact with the outer surface of the lifting frame, it will rotate and reset along the hinge under its own weight. When the outer surface of the protective plate is completely removed from the interior of the drinking trough, the lifting frame will slide downward under its own weight, and at the same time, it will tightly contact the outer surfaces of the two filter plates. This allows the two filter plates to squeeze and filter particulate pollutants such as hay and feed in the water downward, thus achieving automatic filtration of the water source.

[0018] 3. When the lifting frame moves the two filter plates to the bottom of the drinking trough, the bottom of the two filter plates will contact the top of the pressure sensor. At this time, the bottom of the movable sealing ring will be in tight contact with the top of the fixed sealing ring. The two sealing plates will be moved towards each other until they are in tight contact with the outer surface, thus achieving complete isolation between the upper and lower water sources of the two sealing plates. This isolates the contaminated water source inside the bottom of the drinking trough, allowing the contaminated water source to be discharged outward through the output pipe, achieving separation of the contaminated water source and further improving the cleanliness of the livestock drinking water.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-10This invention provides a technical solution: an adjustable livestock water trough, including a mounting plate 1, an automatic opening and closing assembly 2 on the top of the mounting plate 1, a filter assembly 4 inside the automatic opening and closing assembly 2, and a water trough body 201. The interior of the water trough body 201 is used to store livestock drinking water. A protective plate 203 is slidably connected between the relative inner walls of the water trough body 201 to protect the water inside the water trough body 201. A lifting support frame 209 is slidably connected to one outer surface of the water trough body 201. When the livestock is on top of the lifting support frame 209, The lifting support frame 209 will move downwards, causing the protective plate 203 to move out of the interior of the drinking tank body 201. The filter assembly 4 includes two filter plates 406, which are used to press and filter suspended matter in the drinking tank body 201. The top of each filter plate 406 is provided with a sealing plate 403, which is used to isolate suspended matter in the drinking tank body 201. The automatic opening and closing assembly 2 also includes a fixing frame 207. The bottom of the fixing frame 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. A first spring 208 is provided near the center of the inner wall of the fixing frame 207. One end of the first spring 208 is provided with... The movable frame 204 has one end of the first spring 208 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 207, and the other end of the first spring 208 fixedly connected to one outer surface of the movable frame 204. The inner wall of the movable frame 204 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective plate 203. A sliding inclined block 205 is fixedly attached to the other outer surface of the movable frame 204. The bottom of the sliding inclined block 205 slides against the top of the mounting plate 1. A slider 206 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable frame 204. The opposite outer surfaces of the slider 206 slide against the opposite inner walls of the fixed frame 207. The bottom of the drinking trough body 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. A controller 202 is installed on the front surface of 01. The bottom of the lifting support frame 209 extends into the interior of the mounting plate 1. A lifting inclined block 210 is fixed on the top surface of the lifting support frame 209. The outer surface of the lifting inclined block 210 contacts the outer surface of the sliding inclined block 205. A telescopic rod 211 is fixedly installed near the center of the top of the mounting plate 1. A second spring 212 is installed on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 211. The bottom end of the second spring 212 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate. The top end of the second spring 212 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lifting support frame 209. A movable baffle 213 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the protective plate 203 via a hinge.

[0023] In this embodiment, during livestock farming, when large animals such as cattle and horses need to be kept in pens, to facilitate access to drinking water for the animals, a water trough body 201 filled with water is first placed on one side of the pen against the wall. Additionally, a lifting support frame 209 is a liftable flat surface in the pen that contacts the water trough body 201. The mounting plate 1 is an underground device. When an animal needs to drink water while using the water trough body 201, it first moves to the top of the lifting support frame 209, applying a downward force to the lifting support frame 209. This causes the second spring 212 to be compressed and shortened, thereby driving the lifting support frame 209 along... Figure 1 The sliding rod, shown, located on the surface of the drinking trough body 201, moves downward, thereby causing the lifting inclined block 210 to move downward. This compresses the sliding inclined block 205, pushing the movable frame 204 towards the fixed frame 207. Consequently, the first spring 208 is compressed and shortened. Simultaneously, the movement of the movable frame 204 causes... Figure 4 The protective plate 203, which is set inside the water trough body 201, moves to the outside of the water trough body 201. When the first spring 208 is retracted to its shortest length, the part of the protective plate 203 embedded in the inner wall of the water trough body 201 moves to a position flush with the inner wall of the water trough body 201, thereby completely opening the top of the water trough body 201, so that livestock can drink the water source in the water trough body 201. Since the lifting support frame 209 descends slowly under the elastic action of the second spring 212, the animals will not be frightened during the lifting process.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the automatic opening and closing assembly 2 also includes a fixing frame 207. The bottom of the fixing frame 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. A first spring 208 is provided near the center of the inner wall of the fixing frame 207. A movable frame 204 is provided at one end of the first spring 208. One end of the first spring 208 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 207, and the other end of the first spring 208 is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the movable frame 204. The inner wall of the movable frame 204 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective plate 203, and the other outer surface of the movable frame 204 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective plate 203. A sliding inclined block 205 is fixed on the surface, and the bottom of the sliding inclined block 205 slides against the top of the mounting plate 1. A slider 206 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the movable frame 204, and the opposite outer surfaces of the slider 206 are slidably connected to the opposite inner walls of the fixed frame 207. The bottom of the drinking trough body 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. A controller 202 is set on the front surface of the drinking trough body 201. The bottom of the lifting support frame 209 moves through the interior of the mounting plate 1. A lifting inclined block 210 is fixed on the top surface of the interior of the lifting support frame 209.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the livestock finish drinking and leave the top of the lifting support frame 209, the second spring 212, no longer compressed, will extend under its own elastic force, causing the lifting support frame 209 to move upward and reset. At the same time, the movement of the lifting support frame 209 causes the lifting inclined block 210 to move upward, thereby removing the compression of the sliding inclined block 205. This also removes the compression of the first spring 208, which extends under its own elastic force, and pushes the protective plate 203 into and out of the interior of the drinking trough body 201 again, achieving the coverage and protection of the drinking water. Through the action of the automatic opening and closing component 2, the drinking trough body 201 automatically opens when the animals are drinking water and automatically closes when they are no longer drinking, thus protecting the water source and preventing external dust and harmful substances from contaminating the animal drinking water. This solves the problem that most livestock drinking troughs in the prior art are open-air and prone to water pollution.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 and Figure 9As shown, an adjustable livestock water trough includes a mounting plate 1, an automatic opening and closing assembly 2 on the top of the mounting plate 1, and a filter assembly 4 inside the automatic opening and closing assembly 2. The automatic opening and closing assembly 2 includes a water trough body 201, the interior of which stores livestock drinking water. A protective plate 203 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the water trough body 201 to protect the water inside. A lifting support frame 209 is slidably connected to one outer surface of the water trough body 201. When livestock are at the top of the lifting support frame 209, the lifting support frame 209 moves downward, causing the protective plate 203 to move out of the water trough body 201. The filter assembly 4 includes two filter plates 406, which press and filter suspended matter inside the water trough body 201. A sealing plate 403 is provided on the top of each filter plate 406 to seal the water trough body 201. The suspended matter isolation within 01 is achieved by the filter assembly 4, which also includes a lifting frame 401. Hydraulic rods 402 are installed on the inner walls of the lifting frame 401 near the top. One end of each hydraulic rod 402 is fixedly connected to one outer surface of one side of each of the two sealing plates 403. The outer surfaces of the two sealing plates 403 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the lifting frame 401. Sealing gaskets 404 are installed on the other outer surfaces of each of the two sealing plates 403. Electric push rods 405 are installed on the inner walls of the lifting frame 401 near the bottom. One end of each electric push rod 405 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each of the two filter plates 406. The outer surfaces of the two filter plates 406 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the lifting frame 401. The outer surface of the lifting frame 401 slides against the inner wall of the drinking trough body 201. A movable sealing ring 407 is installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 401. A fixed sealing ring 408 is installed between the inner walls of the drinking trough body 201 near the bottom. An output pipe 413 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drinking trough body 201.

[0027] In this embodiment, to further improve the cleanliness of the drinking water in the water trough body 201 and prevent the water source from being contaminated by hay and feed that animals have in their mouths during the process of drinking water, the position diagram of the lifting frame 401 and the two squeezing rods 301 before the protective plate 203 on the top of the water trough body 201 moves outward is shown in the figure. Figure 10As shown, when the protective plate 203 moves outward, because the depth of the lifting frame 401 is greater than the thickness of the protective plate 203, the outward movement of the protective plate 203 will push the lifting frame 401 to move outward along the two pressing rods 301. The movable baffle 213 in the protective plate 203 will also rotate upward under the pressing action of the lifting frame 401. When the movable baffle 213 is not in contact with the outer surface of the lifting frame 401, it will rotate and reset along the hinge under its own gravity. When the outer surface of the protective plate 203 is completely removed from the interior of the drinking trough body 201, the inner wall of the lifting frame 401 is exactly aligned with the two pressing rods 301. When the two parts separate, the lifting frame 401 will slide downwards along the inner wall of the drinking trough body 201 under its own gravity. Rubber rings are installed at the contact points between the lifting frame 401 and the inner wall of the drinking trough body 201. Before the lifting frame 401 moves downwards, the controller 202 activates two electric push rods 405 to extend them, causing the two filter plates 406 to move towards each other until their outer surfaces are in tight contact. As the lifting frame 401 descends, the two filter plates 406 can squeeze and filter particulate contaminants such as hay and feed from the water downwards. The filtered water can then be filtered through... Figure 8 The small holes on the surfaces of the two filter plates 406 shown in the diagram allow water to flow outwards, thus achieving automatic filtration of the water source. Automatic filtration of the water source is achieved by adjusting the internal structure of the drinking trough body 201.

[0028] like Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-9 As shown, a solenoid valve 414 is installed on the outer surface of the output pipe 413. Cylinders 411 are installed on the inner bottom surface of the water tank body 201 near the two side edges. A bearing plate 412 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two cylinders 411. A limit rod 409 is fixed on the inner bottom surface of the water tank body 201 near the center. A third spring 410 is installed on the outer surface of the limit rod 409. A pressure sensor 415 is installed on the top of the limit rod 409. The bottom end of the third spring 410 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the water tank body 201, and the top end of the third spring 410 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pressure sensor 415.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the lifting frame 401 moves the two filter plates 406 to the bottom of the drinking tank body 201, the bottom of the two filter plates 406 will contact the top of the pressure sensor 415. At this time, the pressure sensor 415 is squeezed by the filter plates 406 and moves downward under the action of the third spring 410. The pressure sensor 415 utilizes the characteristics of piezoelectric crystals; when subjected to pressure, they generate an electric charge, which is proportional to the applied pressure. This charge can be converted into a voltage signal through a circuit for pressure measurement. Furthermore, when the pressure sensor 415 contacts the bottom of the filter plates 406, the bottom of the movable sealing ring 407 is in tight contact with the top of the fixed sealing ring 408. Additionally, as... Figure 6 As shown, both the fixed sealing ring 408 and the movable sealing ring 407 are composed of a steel frame and a rubber ring. The rubber ring is made of rubber material with sealing properties, which can achieve a seal between the fixed sealing ring 408 and the movable sealing ring 407. At this time, the controller 202 can start the two hydraulic rods 402 to extend them, drive the two sealing plates 403 to move towards each other, and then make the two sealing gaskets 404 move towards each other until the outer surfaces of the two sealing gaskets 404 are in complete contact and are compressed, thus achieving complete isolation between the upper and lower water sources of the two sealing plates 403, thereby isolating the contaminated water source inside the bottom surface of the drinking trough body 201. At this time, the controller 202 can open the solenoid valve 414, so that the contaminated water source is output to the outside through the output pipe 413, thus achieving the separation of the contaminated water source. By adjusting the internal structure of the drinking trough through the filter assembly 4, the cleanliness of the livestock drinking water is further improved.

[0030] like Figures 1-10 As shown, connecting components 3 are provided on the opposite inner walls of the protective plate 203. Each connecting component 3 includes a pressing rod 301. The two ends of the two pressing rods 301 slide against the opposite inner walls of the protective plate 203. Multiple dampers 302 are fixed to the opposite inner walls of the protective plate 203 by screws. The two dampers 302 are divided into two groups. One end of the two groups of dampers 302 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the two pressing rods 301. A fourth spring 303 is provided on the outer surface of the multiple dampers 302. The multiple fourth springs 303 are divided into two groups. One end of the two groups of fourth springs 303 is fixedly connected to the opposite inner walls of the protective plate 203. The other end of the two groups of fourth springs 303 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the two pressing rods 301.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the polluted water source is completely discharged, the solenoid valve 414 can be closed. After the livestock leave the top of the lifting support frame 209, the protective plate 203 drives the two compression rods 301 to reset. Then, the two hydraulic rods 402 and the two electric push rods 405 can be activated to shorten them, moving the two sealing plates 403 and the two filter plates 406 into the interior of the lifting frame 401. Then, the two cylinders 411 are activated to extend them, thereby moving the two bearing plates 412 upward and pushing the lifting frame 401 upward. When the top of the lifting frame 401 moves to the bottom of the two compression rods 301, it will compress the two sets of fourth springs 303 respectively. Figure 10 As shown, since the position of the lifting frame 401 corresponding to the pressing rod 301 is C-shaped, when the position of the lifting frame 401 located at the upper part of the C-shaped groove moves to between the top of the two pressing rods 301 and the inner top surface of the protective plate 203, the resetting of the lifting frame 401 is completed.

[0032] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: When large animals such as cattle and horses need to be kept in enclosures, in order to facilitate the animals' drinking water source, during the use of the water trough body 201, when an animal needs to drink water, it first moves to the top of the lifting support frame 209, exerting a downward force on the lifting support frame 209. This causes the second spring 212 to be compressed and shortened, thereby driving the lifting support frame 209 along the […]. Figure 1 The sliding rod shown, mounted on the surface of the water trough body 201, moves downward, thereby causing the lifting inclined block 210 to move downward. This compresses the sliding inclined block 205, pushing the moving frame 204 towards the fixed frame 207. Consequently, the first spring 208 is compressed and shortened, simultaneously causing the protective plate 203 to move towards the outside of the water trough body 201. When the first spring 208 is at its shortest length, the portion of the protective plate 203 embedded in the inner wall of the water trough body 201 moves to a position flush with the inner wall of the water trough body 201, thus fully opening the top of the water trough body 201. Livestock can then drink from the water source inside the water trough body 201. After the livestock finishes drinking and leaves the top of the lifting support frame 209, the first spring 208... When the second spring 212 is no longer compressed, it will extend under its own elastic force, causing the lifting support frame 209 to move upward and reset. Simultaneously, the movement of the lifting support frame 209 causes the lifting inclined block 210 to move upward, thus removing the compression from the sliding inclined block 205. This, in turn, causes the first spring 208 to stop being compressed and extend under its own elastic force, further pushing the protective plate 203 in and out of the water trough body 201. To further improve the cleanliness of the drinking water in the water trough body 201 and prevent the animals from contaminating the water source with hay and feed from their mouths during drinking, the position diagram of the lifting frame 401 and the two compression rods 301 before the protective plate 203 on top of the water trough body 201 moves outward is shown below. Figure 10As shown, when the protective plate 203 moves outward, because the depth of the lifting frame 401 is greater than the thickness of the protective plate 203, the outward movement of the protective plate 203 will push the lifting frame 401 to move along the two pressing rods 301 towards the outside of the protective plate 203. The movable baffle 213 in the protective plate 203 will also rotate upward under the pressing action of the lifting frame 401. When the movable baffle 213 is not in contact with the outer surface of the lifting frame 401, it will rotate and reset along the hinge under its own weight. When the outer surface of the protective plate 203 is completely removed from the interior of the drinking trough body 201, the inner wall of the lifting frame 401 is just separated from the two pressing rods 301. At this time, the lifting frame 401 will rotate along the hinge under its own weight. The inner wall of the water tank body 201 slides downwards. Before the lifting frame 401 moves downwards, the controller 202 activates two electric push rods 405 to extend them, causing the two filter plates 406 to move towards each other until their opposite outer surfaces are in tight contact. As the lifting frame 401 descends, the two filter plates 406 squeeze and filter particulate contaminants such as hay and feed in the water downwards. The filtered water then flows out through the small holes on the surfaces of the two filter plates 406. When the lifting frame 401 moves the two filter plates 406 to the bottom of the water tank body 201, the bottom of the two filter plates 406 will contact the top of the pressure sensor 415. At this time, the pressure sensor 415 is subjected to... The filter plate 406 is compressed and then moves downward under the action of the third spring 410. When the pressure sensor 415 contacts the bottom of the filter plate 406, the bottom of the movable sealing ring 407 is in tight contact with the top of the fixed sealing ring 408. At this time, the controller 202 can activate the two hydraulic rods 402 to extend them, causing the two sealing plates 403 to move towards each other, which in turn causes the two sealing gaskets 404 to move towards each other until the outer surfaces of the two sealing gaskets 404 are in complete contact and compressed. This achieves complete isolation between the upper and lower water sources of the two sealing plates 403, thus isolating the contaminated water source inside the bottom surface of the drinking tank body 201. At this time, the controller 202 can open the solenoid valve. 414, thus allowing the polluted water source to be discharged outward through the output pipe 413. After the polluted water source is completely discharged, the solenoid valve 414 can be closed. After the livestock leave the top of the lifting support frame 209, the protective plate 203 drives the two compression rods 301 to reset, and then the two hydraulic rods 402 and two electric push rods 405 can be activated to shorten them respectively, driving the two sealing plates 403 and two filter plates 406 to move into the interior of the lifting frame 401 respectively. Then, the two cylinders 411 are activated to extend them, thereby driving the two bearing plates 412 to move upward, pushing the lifting frame 401 upward. When the top of the lifting frame 401 moves to the bottom of the two compression rods 301, it will squeeze the two sets of fourth springs 303 respectively. Figure 10As shown, since the position of the lifting frame 401 corresponding to the pressing rod 301 is C-shaped, when the position of the lifting frame 401 located at the upper part of the C-shaped groove moves to between the top of the two pressing rods 301 and the inner top surface of the protective plate 203, the resetting of the lifting frame 401 is completed.
