Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, and particularly to a pollution-proof drinking device. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the growth of the needs for animal feeding and public facility management, the hygiene and safety of drinking water equipment have been increasingly emphasized. Traditional drinking troughs or drinking fountains mostly have an open structure, which is convenient to use but has many hygiene hazards. For example, in traditional drinking devices used in pet breeding, poultry husbandry, and public places, the water body is easily affected by the external environment, such as dust, insects, animal feces, and even sundries, which not only affects the cleanliness of the drinking water but also may become a medium for disease transmission. In addition, although some existing drinking devices are provided with shielding structures, due to the lack of automatic opening and closing and reset functions, users still need to manually open the cover plate or protective plate during the operation process, which is also not conducive to realizing automated management. Especially in scenarios where there is no one on guard or the water source cannot be frequently replaced. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drinking device with a reasonable structure, convenient operation, and an automatic closing function, which can effectively isolate external pollutants in the non-use state and can be opened in time when drinking water is needed.

Detailed implementation mode
[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the technical solutions in the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0026] See Figures 1 to 4 , the present invention provides an anti-pollution drinking device, including:
[0027] A drinking trough 1, having an inner cavity 101 with a closed perimeter and an open end at one end;
[0028] Two protection plates 2, slidably arranged at the open end of the inner cavity 101;
[0029] A driving assembly, connected to the two protection plates 2, for opening or closing the inner cavity 101;
[0030] A return assembly, connected to the driving assembly, to keep the inner cavity 101 in a closed state under the action of an external force.
[0031] In this embodiment, the drinking trough 1 has an inner cavity 101, and the inner cavity 101 has an open end with an upward opening. At the open end, two protection plates 2 are slidably arranged. The two protection plates 2 are used to move away from or towards each other under the drive of the driving assembly to open or close the open end of the inner cavity 101. Here, a return assembly is provided at the driving assembly and is linked with it. The return assembly is used to keep the inner cavity 101 in a closed state under the drive of an external force, or to keep the inner cavity 101 in a closed state when the external force disappears. Specifically, when livestock need to drink water, the livestock approach the drinking trough 1, and their body weight is the external force, which triggers the return assembly, causing the return assembly to drive the driving assembly to move the two protection plates 2 away from each other, opening the inner cavity 101 of the drinking trough 1. At this time, the livestock can drink water. After the livestock finish drinking water and move away from the drinking trough 1, after the external force disappears, the return assembly drives the driving assembly to move the two protection plates 2 towards each other, closing the inner cavity 101 of the drinking trough 1 to protect the drinking trough 1 and prevent the inner cavity 101 from being exposed for a long time, ensuring water quality safety. Of course, an ultraviolet sterilization lamp and a filtering device can be provided in the drinking trough 1 to facilitate the cleaning and purification of pollutants carried by the livestock licking the water.
[0032] The driving assembly includes a first toothed plate 3 and a second toothed plate 4 disposed on the drinking trough 1. A driving gear 5 is meshed between the first toothed plate 3 and the second toothed plate 4, and the first toothed plate 3 and the second toothed plate 4 are arranged in an up-and-down staggered manner. Further, the driving assembly further includes a cross bar 6 disposed on the first toothed plate 3. The cross bar 6 is perpendicular to the first toothed plate 3. Two connecting rods 7 are rotatably provided on the cross bar 6, and the two connecting rods 7 are respectively rotatably connected to the two protective plates 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, the driving assembly is provided with a first toothed plate 3 and a second toothed plate 4 on the drinking trough 1. The first toothed plate 3 and the second toothed plate 4 move by relying on the driving gear 5 meshed between them (it can be understood that stoppers are provided on the parts of the first toothed plate 3 and the second toothed plate 4 that are not meshed with the driving gear 5, and the stoppers are used to limit the lateral displacement of the first toothed plate 3 and the second toothed plate 4. Here, in order to show the two toothed plates, they are not shown in the figure). Specifically, under the influence of the gravity of the livestock, the first toothed plate 3 and the second toothed plate 4 arranged in an up-and-down staggered manner move. The return assembly drives the first toothed plate 3 to move downward and the second toothed plate 4 to move upward. A cross bar 6 is welded on the first toothed plate 3. The cross bar 6 is perpendicular to the first toothed plate 3. Two connecting rods 7 rotatably connected to the two protective plates 2 are spaced on the cross bar 6. When the first toothed plate 3 moves downward under the influence of the gravity of the livestock, the cross bar 6 moves downward synchronously and makes the included angle between the two connecting rods 7 and the protective plates 2 gradually increase, and the two protective plates 2 open the inner cavity 101. When the external force disappears, that is, when the livestock finishes drinking water, the return assembly drives the first toothed plate 3 to move upward, the cross bar 6 moves upward synchronously and makes the included angle between the two connecting rods 7 and the protective plates 2 gradually decrease until the two protective plates 2 close the inner cavity 101.
[0034] The return assembly includes a pressing plate 9 and a bottom plate 10 arranged at an angle. The bottom plate 10 is disposed on the ground. The lower end of the pressing plate 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 10, and its upper end is connected to the cross bar 6. Further, a plurality of telescopic rods 11 are provided between the pressing plate 9 and the bottom plate 10, and each telescopic rod 11 is sleeved with a compression spring 12.
[0035] In this embodiment, the return component includes a bottom plate 10 provided on the ground and a pressing plate 9 disposed at an angle to the bottom plate 10. The pressing plate 9 has a lower end and a higher end disposed opposite to each other. Its lower end is rotatably connected to the pressing plate 9 (the way of rotational connection can be to provide two mounting ears on the pressing plate 9 and the bottom plate 10 and connect the two mounting ears with a rotating shaft). The higher end is connected to the cross bar 6. When livestock drink water, they walk from the lower end of the pressing plate 9 to the higher end. The livestock apply a downward gravity to the cross bar 6, causing the first toothed plate 3 to move downward. At the same time, the two connecting rods 7 drive the two protection plates 2 to open the inner cavity 101 for drinking water. After the livestock finish drinking water and the gravity disappears, since there are four telescopic rods 11 and four telescopic springs between the pressing plate 9 and the bottom plate 10, the four telescopic rods 11 and the four telescopic springs gradually return from the compressed state to the normal state, and drive the first toothed plate 3 to move upward. At the same time, the two connecting rods 7 drive the two protection plates 2 to close the inner cavity 101 for protection.
[0036] The cross bar 6 is provided with a mounting platform 8, and the higher end of the pressing plate 9 is pressed against the mounting platform 8.
[0037] In this embodiment, the cross bar 6 is provided with a protruding mounting platform 8 outward. The higher end of the pressing plate 9 is pressed on the mounting platform 8 so that when livestock apply gravity, the higher end of the pressing plate 9 can effectively provide gravity to cause the first toothed plate 3 to move downward, or when the gravity disappears, to cause the first toothed plate 3 to move upward.
[0038] An installation gap 13 is formed at the connection between the pressing plate 9 and the bottom plate 10, and a pry plate 14 is movably provided in the installation gap 13.
[0039] In this embodiment, an installation gap 13 is formed between the pressing plate 9 and the bottom plate 10, and a pry plate 14 is movably provided at the installation gap 13. The pry plate 14 is arranged parallel to the bottom plate 10 under normal conditions. After the livestock finish drinking water and walk from the higher end to the lower end of the pressing plate 9, they step on the pry plate 14. The pry plate 14 and each telescopic rod 11 and each compression spring 12 apply an upward force to the pressing plate 9 simultaneously, so that the first toothed plate 3 can move upward and the two protection plates 2 can close the inner cavity 101.
[0040] The bottom plate 10 is provided with mounting lugs, and the pry plate 14 is provided with connection holes communicating with the mounting lugs for a rotating shaft to pass through.
[0041] In this embodiment, connection holes (not shown) can be provided on the pry plate 14, and the bottom plate 10 is provided with mounting lugs (not shown) for a rotating shaft (not shown) to pass through, so as to rotatably connect the pry plate 14 to the bottom plate 10, similar to the lever principle, so as to facilitate the pry plate 14 to better transfer the gravity to the pressing plate 9. At the same time, the opposite surfaces of the pressing plate 9 and the pry plate 14 can be provided with matching inclined surfaces to further guide the force transfer, so that the pressing plate 9 can return to its normal position, thereby enabling the protection of the two protection plates 2 to take effect.
[0042] The drinking trough 1 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 15, and two of the protective plates 2 are slidably arranged in the sliding grooves 15; the protective plate 2 is provided with a limiting protrusion 201, and the limiting protrusion 201 slidably extends into the sliding groove 15.
[0043] In this embodiment, the drinking trough 1 is provided with two sliding grooves 15, and the two protective plates 2 are provided with two limiting protrusions 201 adapted to the sliding grooves 15. The limiting protrusions 201 extend into the sliding grooves 15 to limit the sliding directions of the two protective plates 2, facilitating the switching of the open or closed state of the protective plate 2 for the inner cavity 101. In addition, in order to prevent livestock from polluting the drinking trough when drinking water, a corresponding net should be set at one end of the drinking trough close to the pressing plate 9 according to the types of livestock (pigs, cows, sheep), so that they can only drink water through their heads.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
