[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0021] The utility model provides a drinking bottle capable of measuring the amount of water an animal drinks. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a water bottle 2, a water filling pipe 1 is connected to the bottom opening of the water bottle 2, a water outlet nozzle 3 is installed on one side of the upper part of the water filling pipe 1, and the outer end of the water outlet nozzle 3 is formed with a water outlet 31 to facilitate the animal to drink water. A water outlet component 4 is installed in the water outlet 31 to realize the water outlet operation after the animal's mouth approaches and covers it, a scale plate 25 is installed on the outside of the water bottle 2, and scale lines 251 are arranged on the scale plate 25, an inner ball 22 is arranged inside the water bottle 2, and an outer ball 23 is arranged on the inner side of the scale plate 25, and the outer ball 23 is connected to the inner ball 22 by a pull rope 21, and the inner ball 22 is driven to rise and fall by the rise and fall of the water level to realize the rise and fall of the outer ball 23, so as to monitor the capacity in the water bottle 2, when the water level drops, the weight of the inner ball 22 is greater than the weight of the outer ball 23, thereby driving the outer ball 23 to rise, and when the water level rises, the pull rope loses the pulling force on the outer ball 23 through buoyancy, so that the outer ball 23 drops.
[0022] In this embodiment, a valve 5 is installed on the water adding pipe 1 to facilitate the opening and closing of the water adding pipe 1 and facilitate the water adding operation.
[0023] Specifically, the water outlet 31 is an inclined elliptical structure, ensuring that the mouth is convenient for animals to align.
[0024] Furthermore, the outer ball 23 and the inner ball 22 are both spherical structures with hollow interiors, and the weight of the inner ball 22 is greater than the weight of the outer ball 23, so that the outer ball 23 can rise and fall stably with the rise and fall of the water level.
[0025] Furthermore, a contact sensor 26 is installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the water bottle 2, and an alarm 252 is installed on the top outer wall of the scale plate 25. When the outer ball 23 rises to the top, the water level is at the lowest state. At this time, the outer ball 23 contacts the contact sensor 26, and the contact sensor 26 transmits a signal to the alarm 252 for an alarm operation.
[0026] Furthermore, scale lines 251 are arranged from top to bottom on the scale plate 25 to facilitate height monitoring of the outer ball 23 and thus realize capacity monitoring.
[0027] Furthermore, a guide wheel 24 is installed on the top outer wall of the water bottle 2, and the middle part of the pull rope 21 is guided by passing through the guide wheel 24 to ensure that the pull rope 21 moves stably.
[0028] Furthermore, the water outlet assembly 4 includes a flap 41, one end of which is provided with a sleeve 42, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water outlet 3 through a rotating shaft, a sealing plate 421 is provided at the bottom of the sleeve 42, a valve plate 43 is tiltedly provided at the top of the sleeve 42, and a spring 44 is provided at the bottom of one end of the flap 41 away from the sleeve 42. When the mouth of the animal wraps around the water outlet 31, pressure is generated on the flap 41, thereby driving it to flip, so that the valve plate 43 opens to one side, and the water outlet operation of the water outlet 3 is realized. When the mouth leaves the water outlet 31, the flap 41 is reset by the action of the spring 44, so that the valve plate 43 is closed, and the scale indication is realized by the activity of the outer ball 23, so as to facilitate the monitoring of the capacity change of the water bottle 2. The water bottle 2 is made of plastic material and has a capacity of 500ml.
[0029] When the drinking bottle of the utility model capable of measuring the amount of water an animal drinks is used, first in the initial state, the water bottle 2 is filled with water, and the outer ball 23 is located at the bottom of the scale plate 25, indicating that the water bottle 2 is almost full of water. When the animal starts to drink water, it will put its mouth close to the water outlet 31, press the flap 41, cause the valve plate 43 to open, and water will flow out from the water outlet 3 for the animal to drink. As the amount of water decreases, the inner ball 22 will drop with the drop in the water level, and the outer ball 23 will rise along the scale plate 25 by pulling the rope 21. The scale line 251 on the scale plate 25 provides an intuitive indication of the current amount of water in the water bottle 2. When the water level drops to a certain level, that is, the water in the water bottle 2 is close to being exhausted, the outer ball 23 will rise to a position in contact with the contact sensor 26, and the alarm 252 will be triggered at this time, sounding an alarm to remind the breeder or researcher to add water to the water bottle 2. After hearing the alarm, the breeder or researcher can add water to the water bottle 2 by opening the valve 5 on the water adding pipe 1, and at the same time observe the outer ball 23 and the scale line 251 to ensure that the appropriate amount of water is added. During the water adding process, as the water level rises, the inner ball 22 floats up, the pull rope 21 gradually loosens, and the outer ball 23 will fall along the scale plate 25 due to its own gravity until it reaches the position corresponding to the new water level.
[0030] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
