Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of detection of nipple drinkers for breeding, and relates to a flow measurement device for nipple drinkers. Background Art

[0002] In the breeding industry, nipple drinkers are commonly used water-feeding devices in the poultry breeding industry. When poultry pecks at the water outlet end of the nipple drinker in a forward or lateral direction, the water outlet end is pressed to open and water flows out for the poultry to drink. In the modern poultry breeding process, there are precise requirements for the water output of the nipple drinker. If the water output of the nipple drinker is insufficient, it will cause insufficient water intake of the breeding poultry, and further lead to a decline in the production performance of the poultry. On the contrary, if the water output of the nipple drinker is excessive, it will cause the overflow of excess water, which not only wastes water resources, but also makes the bedding and feces accumulated inside the poultry breeding area more humid, which is not conducive to the subsequent treatment of the bedding and feces. Therefore, during the poultry breeding process, it is necessary to accurately detect whether the water output of the nipple drinker is at an appropriate level.

[0003] In the prior art, to detect the water output of the nipple drinker, usually, the staff uses their hands or a wooden stick to directly push or laterally push the water outlet end of the nipple drinker to make the nipple drinker in a continuous static water output state, and then measure the static water output of the nipple drinker. Its operation process is very inconvenient and the measurement accuracy is insufficient.

[0004] Therefore, aiming at the problems of time-consuming, laborious, difficult to operate by staff, and insufficient measurement accuracy in the process of detecting the flow rate of the nipple drinker in the prior art, the utility model discloses a flow measurement device for nipple drinkers. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a flow measurement device for nipple drinkers, which can enable the staff to conveniently measure the positive-pressure water output flow rate and the side-pressure water output flow rate of the nipple drinker inside the cage outside the cage, significantly improving the efficiency of detecting the flow rate of the nipple drinker and reducing the working intensity of the staff.

[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A flow measurement device for nipple drinkers includes an operating rod body. A flow channel is arranged inside the operating rod body. A forward pushing part is arranged at one end of the operating rod body corresponding to the inlet of the flow channel. A lateral pushing part is movably arranged on one side of the forward pushing part. A flow measurement component is arranged at the outlet of the flow channel.

[0008] The staff holds one end of the operating rod body, and inserts the forward pushing part at the other end of the operating rod body into the cage where the nipple drinker is installed, so that the forward pushing part is located below the nipple drinker and faces the nipple drinker directly. Move the operating rod body upward, so that the forward pushing part pushes and presses the nipple drinker from bottom to top, causing the nipple drinker to discharge water under positive pressure. The water flowing out of the nipple drinker enters the flow channel through the inlet, and flows along the flow channel to the outlet, and is discharged to the flow measurement component through the outlet. The flow of the water discharged from the flow channel is measured by the flow measurement component, that is, the measurement of the positive pressure water discharge flow of the nipple drinker is realized. When it is necessary to measure the side pressure water discharge flow of the nipple drinker, separate the forward pushing part from the nipple drinker, and then move the lateral pushing part in the direction close to the nipple drinker, so that the lateral pushing part applies pressure to the nipple drinker from the side of the nipple drinker. At this time, the nipple drinker discharges water under side pressure. The water flowing out of the nipple drinker enters the flow channel through the inlet, and flows along the flow channel to the outlet, and is discharged to the flow measurement component through the outlet. The flow of the water discharged from the flow channel is measured by the flow measurement component, that is, the measurement of the side pressure water discharge flow of the nipple drinker is realized.

[0009] In order to better implement the present utility model, further, the forward pushing part includes a liquid collecting funnel and a forward pushing net. The bottom of the liquid collecting funnel is connected to the inlet of the flow channel, and a forward pushing net is arranged at the top opening of the liquid collecting funnel.

[0010] In order to better implement the present utility model, further, the lateral pushing part includes a side pushing rod and a side pushing piece. The side pushing rod is slidably arranged on one side of the operating rod body along the direction parallel to the operating rod body. One end of the side pushing rod close to the forward pushing net is arranged corresponding to the top of the forward pushing net, and at least one side pushing piece is connected to one end of the side pushing rod close to the forward pushing net.

[0011] In order to better implement the present utility model, further, two side pushing pieces are symmetrically arranged about the center of the nipple drinker at one end of the side pushing rod close to the forward pushing net, and a side pushing space is formed between the two side pushing pieces.

[0012] In order to better implement the present utility model, further, the side pushing piece has a U-shaped structure, and the width of the U-shaped opening of the side pushing piece is greater than the diameter of the nipple drinker.

[0013] In order to better implement the present utility model, further, a silica gel pad is arranged on the side pushing surface of the side pushing piece corresponding to the contact with the nipple drinker.

[0014] In order to better implement the present utility model, further, a locking switch is arranged at one end of the side pushing rod far from the forward pushing net, and the locking switch is movably clamped with one end of the side pushing rod far from the forward pushing net.

[0015] To better implement the present utility model, further, the flow measurement assembly includes a measurement test tube and a drain cock. The top opening of the measurement test tube is arranged corresponding to the outlet of the flow channel, and a drain cock is arranged at the bottom of the measurement test tube.

[0016] To better implement the present utility model, further, a hanging member is arranged on the operating rod body corresponding to the outlet of the flow channel, and the top of the measurement test tube is detachably hung on the hanging member.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0018] The staff can hold the operating rod body, drive the forward pushing part to extend into the cage body, and drive the forward pushing part to move upward, so that the forward pushing net in the forward pushing part squeezes the nipple waterer from bottom to top, making the nipple waterer discharge water under positive pressure. Then, the water flowing out of the nipple waterer is collected by the liquid collecting funnel at the bottom of the forward pushing net, and the water is conveyed to the flow measurement assembly through the flow channel inside the operating rod body, so that the positive pressure water discharge flow of the nipple waterer can be quickly and accurately detected by the flow measurement assembly; at the same time, by axially sliding the side push rod in the lateral pushing part, the side push piece is driven to apply a lateral pressure to the nipple waterer, making the nipple waterer discharge water under side pressure. Then, the water flowing out of the nipple waterer is collected by the liquid collecting funnel, and the water is conveyed to the flow measurement assembly through the flow channel inside the operating rod body, so that the side pressure water discharge flow of the nipple waterer can be quickly and accurately detected by the flow measurement assembly; the present utility model can ensure that the staff can quickly and efficiently detect the positive pressure water discharge flow and the side pressure water discharge flow of the nipple waterer inside the cage outside the cage body, significantly improving the efficiency of detecting the water discharge flow of the nipple waterer.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] A flow measurement device for a nipple drinker in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, includes an operating lever body 1. A flow channel 2 is arranged inside the operating lever body 1. A forward pushing part 3 is arranged at one end of the operating lever body 1 corresponding to the inlet of the flow channel 2. A lateral pushing part 4 is movably arranged on one side of the forward pushing part 3. A flow measurement component 5 is arranged at the outlet of the flow channel 2.

[0032] One end of the operating rod body 1 is provided with a handle for the staff to hold conveniently. A hollow flow channel 2 is arranged inside the operating rod body 1. The inlet of the flow channel 2 is located at one end of the operating rod body 1 away from the handle, and the outlet of the flow channel 2 is located at one end of the operating rod body 1 close to the handle. And the height of the inlet of the flow channel 2 is higher than the height of the outlet, ensuring that the water body inside the flow channel 2 can smoothly flow from the inlet to the outlet. A forward pushing part 3 is arranged at one end of the operating rod body 1 away from the handle, and a lateral pushing part 4 is movably arranged along the axial direction of the operating rod body 1 on one side of the top of the forward pushing part 3. The specific steps for detecting the flow rate of the nipple drinker by this device are as follows:

[0033] When performing positive pressure flow rate detection, the staff holds the handle to insert the forward pushing part 3 at the end of the operating rod body 1 into the cage body, so that the forward pushing part 3 is located below the nipple drinker and is directly opposite to the nipple drinker. Then move the operating rod body 1 upward, so that the forward pushing part 3 pushes and squeezes the nipple drinker from bottom to top. At this time, the nipple drinker discharges water under positive pressure. The water discharged from the nipple drinker enters the flow channel 2 through the inlet and drips into the flow rate measuring assembly 5 through the outlet of the flow channel 2. The flow rate of the discharged water can be measured through the flow rate measuring assembly 5, and the positive pressure water discharge flow rate of the nipple drinker can be calculated.

[0034] When performing side pressure flow rate detection, empty the water accumulated in the flow rate measuring assembly 5. Then the staff holds the handle and moves the operating rod body 1 downward, so that the forward pushing part 3 is separated from the nipple drinker. Then move the lateral pushing part 4 along the axial direction of the operating rod body 1 towards the side of the nipple drinker, so that the lateral pushing part 4 pushes and squeezes the side of the nipple drinker. At this time, the nipple drinker discharges water under side pressure. The water discharged from the nipple drinker enters the flow channel 2 through the inlet and drips into the flow rate measuring assembly 5 through the outlet of the flow channel 2. The flow rate of the discharged water can be measured through the flow rate measuring assembly 5, that is, the side pressure water discharge flow rate of the nipple drinker can be calculated.

[0035] Embodiment 2:

[0036] An improved nipple drinker flow rate measuring device based on Embodiment 1 is as Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown. The forward pushing part 3 includes a liquid collecting funnel 31 and a forward pushing net 32. The bottom of the liquid collecting funnel 31 is connected to the inlet of the flow channel 2, and a forward pushing net 32 is arranged at the top opening of the liquid collecting funnel 31.

[0037] A clamping groove is provided at the top opening edge of the liquid collecting funnel 31. The forward pushing net 32 is clamped in the clamping groove, and the forward pushing net 32 is tightly fixed by a pressing screw or a pressing piece. The forward pushing net 32 is made of a rubber net or a nylon net, which can ensure that the forward pushing net 32 can apply sufficient forward pressure to the nipple waterer while avoiding scratching the nipple waterer. A through hole connected to the inlet of the flow channel 2 is provided at the bottom of the liquid collecting funnel 31. When the operating rod body 1 is moved upward, the forward pushing net 32 upwardly and positively presses the nipple waterer, and the water dripping from the nipple waterer falls into the interior of the liquid collecting funnel 31 and flows through the flow channel 2 to the flow measurement assembly 5 for flow measurement.

[0038] Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0039] Embodiment 3:

[0040] An apparatus for measuring the flow rate of a nipple waterer is improved on the basis of Embodiment 1 or 2. As Figure 2 shown, the lateral pushing part 4 includes a lateral pushing rod 41 and a lateral pushing piece 42. The lateral pushing rod 41 is slidably arranged on one side of the operating rod body 1 along a direction parallel to the operating rod body 1. One end of the lateral pushing rod 41 close to the forward pushing net 32 is arranged corresponding to the top of the forward pushing net 32, and at least one lateral pushing piece 42 is connected to one end of the lateral pushing rod 41 close to the forward pushing net 32.

[0041] An axial sliding groove 100 is provided at the top of the operating rod body 1. The lateral pushing rod 41 is slidably arranged in the axial sliding groove 100. At least one lateral pushing piece 42 is detachably connected to one end of the lateral pushing rod 41 close to the forward pushing net 32 through a connecting piece such as a clip. An opening for the nipple waterer to enter and press the nipple waterer is provided on the side of the lateral pushing piece 42 close to the nipple waterer. When it is necessary to measure the lateral pressure water discharge of the nipple hard water device, the lateral pushing rod 41 is slid in the direction close to the nipple waterer to drive the opening of the lateral pushing piece 42 to be stuck into the nipple waterer, and at the same time, pressure is applied to the side surface of the nipple waterer to promote the lateral pressure water discharge of the nipple waterer.

[0042] Further, as Figure 3 shown, two lateral pushing pieces 42 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the nipple waterer at one end of the lateral pushing rod 41 close to the forward pushing net 32, and a lateral pushing space is formed between the two lateral pushing pieces 42. When the lateral pushing rod 41 is slid in the direction close to the nipple waterer, the lateral pushing piece 42 on the left side of the nipple waterer presses the nipple waterer from the left to the right side surface. When the lateral pushing rod 41 is slid in the direction away from the nipple waterer, the lateral pushing piece 42 on the right side of the nipple waterer presses the nipple waterer from the right to the left side surface, thereby realizing the two-way lateral pressure water discharge measurement of the nipple waterer.

[0043] Further, the side push piece 42 is in a U-shaped structure, and the width of the U-shaped opening of the side push piece 42 is greater than the diameter of the nipple waterer. A silica gel pad is arranged on the side push surface of the side push piece 42 corresponding to the contact with the nipple waterer. The width of the U-shaped opening being greater than the diameter of the nipple waterer can ensure that the nipple waterer can smoothly enter the inside of the U-shaped opening. By arranging the silica gel pad, the nipple waterer can be flexibly extruded, avoiding scratching the nipple waterer by the side push piece 42.

[0044] Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 or 2, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Embodiment 4:

[0046] An apparatus for measuring the flow rate of a nipple waterer is improved based on any one of Embodiments 1 - 3. As Figure 2 shown, a locking switch 43 is arranged at one end of the side push rod 41 away from the forward push net 32, and the locking switch 43 is movably clamped with one end of the side push rod 41 away from the forward push net 32.

[0047] A locking hole is arranged at one end of the side push rod 41 away from the forward push net 32, and the locking switch 43 is arranged at one end of the operating rod body 1 away from the forward push net 32 corresponding to the position of the locking hole. When it is not necessary to measure the side pressure water discharge of the nipple waterer, the locking switch 43 can be inserted into the locking hole, thereby locking the side push rod 41. At this time, the side push rod 41 cannot slide, thus avoiding the side push piece 42 at the end of the side push rod 41 from accidentally touching the nipple waterer.

[0048] Other parts of this embodiment are the same as any one of Embodiments 1 - 3, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Embodiment 5:

[0050] An apparatus for measuring the flow rate of a nipple waterer is improved based on any one of Embodiments 1 - 4. As Figure 4 shown, the flow rate measuring assembly 5 includes a measuring test tube 51 and a drain cock 52. The top opening of the measuring test tube 51 is arranged corresponding to the outlet of the flow channel 2, and the drain cock 52 is arranged at the bottom end of the measuring test tube 51.

[0051] During the measurement process, the drain cock 52 is in a closed state, and the water flowing out from the nipple waterer accumulates in the measuring test tube 51. The amount of water flowing out from the nipple waterer can be accurately read through the scale on the measuring test tube 51, and the water flow rate of the nipple waterer can be calculated by combining with the water discharge time. After the measurement is completed or between switching from positive pressure water discharge detection to side pressure water discharge detection, the drain cock 52 is opened to empty the water accumulated in the measuring test tube 51.

[0052] Further, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a hanging member 6 is provided at the outlet of the flow channel 2 corresponding to the operating rod body 1, and the top of the measuring test tube 51 is detachably hung on the hanging member 6. The hanging member 6 includes a hanging plate provided at the bottom of one end of the operating rod body 1 away from the forward pushing portion 3. A hanging interface is provided on the hanging plate. A hanging buckle is provided on one side of the top of the measuring test tube 51. By engaging the hanging buckle with the hanging interface, the convenient installation of the measuring test tube 51 on the operating rod body 1 can be achieved. When it is necessary to clean the measuring test tube 51, it is only necessary to take out the hanging buckle from the hanging interface, and the convenient disassembly of the measuring test tube 51 can be achieved.

[0053] Other parts of this embodiment are the same as any one of Embodiments 1-4, so they will not be described in detail.

[0054] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
