[0002] The automatic drinking fountain for free-range chickens is a drinking device that can automatically discharge water. It saves the trouble of manual watering and greatly reduces the labor intensity of farmers. Therefore, it is widely used in farms.

[0003] The traditional free-range chicken automatic drinking fountain has the following problems in actual use: when the chicken is drinking water, the food or debris on the chicken's mouth will fall into the water and dirty the water, thereby polluting the water quality. Therefore, a filter component needs to be set in the drinking device. Although the filter component can filter out the debris, it still needs to be cleaned manually by the breeder. When the filter component is large, it takes a long time to clean it. The poor environment of the chicken breeding place will also have a certain impact on the breeder. In order to deal with the above problems, an automatic drinking fountain for free-range chickens is proposed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 An automatic drinking fountain for free-range chickens comprises a base 1, an annular water trough 2 is arranged on the upper end surface of the base 1, a water storage tank is also arranged on the side of the base 1, and a water inlet pipe 7 corresponding to the annular water trough 2 is arranged on the water storage tank.

[0021] A filter screen 3 is disposed in the annular water tank 2, and a collection box 11 is disposed on the filter screen 3. The structures of the filter screen 3 and the collection box 11 can be seen in the accompanying drawings.

[0022] A mounting block 4 is provided on the base 1 through a fastening mechanism, an annular rotating groove 8 is provided on the mounting block 4, a connecting ring 9 is provided in the annular rotating groove 8 through a rotating ring 12, a plurality of scrapers 10 are installed on the connecting ring 9, a cavity is provided inside the mounting block 4, a driving motor 15 is provided in the cavity, and the driving motor 15 is connected to the rotating ring 12 through a rotating mechanism.

[0023] The fastening mechanism includes a fastening bolt 6 installed on the mounting block 4. The upper end surface of the base 1 is provided with a connecting groove that cooperates with the fastening bolt 6. The fastening bolt 6 is threadedly connected to the connecting groove. With the help of the above-mentioned fastening bolt 6 and the connecting groove, the mounting block 4 can be easily disassembled and assembled on the base 1.

[0024] The rotating mechanism includes a gear 16 mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 15 . The rotating ring 12 is provided with a gear ring 14 meshing with the gear 16 . The gear ring 14 is an internal gear ring 14 . The power transmission of the driving motor 15 is achieved by means of the gear 16 and the gear ring 14 .

[0025] The vertical cross-section of the connecting ring 9 and the rotating ring 12 is T-shaped, and the multiple scrapers 10 are distributed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The T-shaped structure ensures the stability of the rotating ring 12 in the annular rotating groove 8 and ensures that the connecting ring 9 will not move vertically relative to the mounting block 4.

[0026] An annular hidden groove 13 is provided on the arc-shaped inner wall of the rotating ring 12, and the ring gear 14 is arranged in the annular hidden groove 13. The arrangement of the ring gear 14 in the annular hidden groove 13 can prevent the ring gear 14 from contacting the arc-shaped inner wall of the annular rotating groove 8, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the rotating ring 12 when it is in the annular rotating groove 8.

[0027] The mounting block 4 is provided with an opening, which is communicated with the annular rotating groove 8 and the cavity, and cooperates with the gear 16 , and the gear 16 is partially located in the opening, so as to facilitate engagement with the ring gear 14 in the annular hidden groove 13 .

[0028] When the utility model is used, the water in the water storage tank can enter the annular water trough 2 through the water inlet pipe 7, and the multiple scrapers 10 divide the annular water trough 2 into multiple parts, so that multiple free-range chickens can drink water separately to avoid interference. The debris brought into the annular water trough 2 by the free-range chickens during drinking water is accumulated on the filter screen 3. When the water in the annular water trough 2 is gradually reduced and the water level is lower than the filter screen 3, the water replenishment operation is not performed first. At this time, the drive motor 15 is started, and the drive motor 15 drives the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 cooperates with the ring gear 14 to drive the rotating ring 12 to rotate, and the rotating ring 12 can drive the connecting ring 9 to rotate. The connecting ring 9 drives the scraper 10 to rotate above the filter screen 3, and the above-mentioned debris can be scraped into the collection box 11 for collection. After cleaning, it can be directly taken out from the collection box 11, and then water can be replenished.

[0029] The mounting block 4 is provided with a handle 5 for convenient lifting and transporting of the mounting block 4. The mounting block 4 can be accessed by turning and unscrewing the fastening bolt 6, and then the mounting block 4 and components such as the scraper 10 can be conveniently disassembled. After disassembly, the filter screen 3 loses the obstruction component and can be taken out for thorough flushing and cleaning when the mesh of the filter screen 3 is seriously clogged.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
