Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of breeding technology, and particularly to a heatable water feeding trough for livestock breeding. Background Art
[0002] In traditional livestock breeding, water supply is crucial for the health and production efficiency of livestock. However, with the diversity of climate change and regional environments, especially in cold regions, the drinking water needs of livestock are often restricted. To solve this problem, a heated water feeding trough for livestock breeding is introduced, which can heat the drinking water.
[0003] The prior art discloses a patent for invention with application number CN111789042A, which discloses a water feeding trough for livestock breeding with a water body heating module. Its basic description is as follows: It includes an L-shaped mounting frame, which is composed of a horizontal plate and a vertical block. Inside the vertical block, there are a disinfection chamber and a water storage chamber arranged in sequence from top to bottom. On the left side of the water storage chamber, there is a holding trough. Inside the holding trough, there is a sliding block, and the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the holding trough. At the upper end of the sliding block, there is a water holding trough. This device can achieve automatic water feeding. When livestock are thirsty and stand on the flexible plate, water in the water tank can continuously flow into the water storage trough. Moreover, it is equipped with a heating mechanism, which can ensure that livestock can drink relatively warm water in winter, guaranteeing the healthy growth of livestock. And it is also equipped with a disinfection mechanism, which disinfects the bodies of livestock when they drink water, preventing parasites from harming the health of livestock.
[0004] In the actual implementation process, there are still some problems: The cleaning of traditional water feeding troughs mostly relies on manual operation, and it requires staff to manually clean the stains, debris, and bacteria accumulated in the trough. Since the interior of the water feeding trough is usually designed more complexly, dead corners are likely to appear during cleaning, and these difficult-to-clean areas become a breeding ground for bacteria, thereby affecting water quality and livestock health. In addition, manual cleaning not only consumes a large amount of manpower but also has potential safety hazards. Especially in cold winters, it is more difficult to clean the water feeding trough after the water in it freezes.
[0005] Most traditional water feeding troughs are not equipped with an effective water source filtration system, resulting in difficulties in filtering impurities and dirt in the water. Long-term accumulation may lead to water source pollution, thereby affecting the health of livestock. Especially in an open breeding environment, the water source is easily contaminated by the outside world, and the filtering effect is poor, directly affecting the drinking water quality of livestock, increasing the risk of disease transmission. And when adding drugs to traditional water feeding troughs, the drugs often cannot be evenly mixed with the water, resulting in uneven drug addition and affecting the effect of livestock health management. Manual drug feeding or simple drug dissolution devices often cannot ensure the uniform distribution of drugs in the water, thus affecting the treatment effect. Summary of the Invention

In the actual implementation process, when cleaning the heating water trough 707, the user can remove the two baffles 4 and lower the partition plate 3 to effectively prevent animal interference. After the user opens the valve 719, the waste water can be discharged into the waste water tank 6 through the connected folding pipe, thus avoiding environmental pollution caused by the waste water. By starting the electric push rod 2, the two electric push rods 2 can drive the slider 706 to move, thereby driving the heating water trough 707 to rise until it reaches a suitable height. At this time, the user can turn off the electric push rod 2 to ensure that the two sealing rings 704 are closely fitted to prevent leakage. Next, the user starts the motor 702, the output end of the motor 702 drives the lead screw 708 to rotate, and the lead screw 708 drives the moving support 710 to slide. During the sliding process, the gear 713 at the bottom of the moving support 710 advances along the rack 705, the rack 705 drives the gear 713 to rotate, and then drives the transmission rod 716 to rotate. The transmission rod 716 makes the cleaning brush 714 start to rotate through the rotating spring rod 715, and at the same time drives the cleaning scraper 717 at the bottom to rotate, deeply cleaning the stubborn stains on the inner wall of the heating water trough 707.
