[0033] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0034] Combined with the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 7 , a drinking trough for sheep breeding, includes a base 1 and a trough body 2 fixedly arranged at the upper end of the base 1. A bearing plate 4 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the trough body 2 through a column 3. A disinfection box 5 and a constant temperature box 6 are fixedly arranged in sequence at the upper end of the bearing plate 4. A disinfection component is fixedly arranged inside the disinfection box 5, and a constant temperature control component is fixedly arranged inside the constant temperature box 6. The disinfection box 5 and the constant temperature box 6 are communicated through a water pump 7. The water outlet of the constant temperature box 6 is communicated with one end of the trough body 2 through a pipeline 8. An electromagnetic control valve 9 is arranged at the upper end of the pipeline 8. The other end of the trough body 2 is communicated with a filtering component 10, and the bottom of the filtering component 10 is communicated with the disinfection box 5 through a water pump two 11.

[0035] The working principle of a drinking trough for sheep breeding in the utility model is as follows: This drinking trough for sheep breeding realizes the purification, constant temperature control and recycling of drinking water for the flock through the coordinated work of a series of components. The ultraviolet lamp 12 in the disinfection box 5 disinfects the water regularly under the setting of the timer. The energy of ultraviolet rays is used to destroy the genetic material of bacteria and viruses, thereby killing the bacteria and viruses in the water and ensuring the hygiene of the water quality. The temperature sensor 14 in the constant temperature box 6 monitors the water temperature in real time. When the water temperature is lower than the appropriate range set by the controller 13, the controller 13 starts the electric heating plate 15 to work. The electric heating plate 15 converts electrical energy into heat energy to heat the water and raises the water temperature to a temperature suitable for the flock to drink. The filter screen 17 in the filter assembly 10 can intercept larger impurities in the water, such as grass clippings and larger particles, and the filter cotton 18 can further adsorb and filter fine impurities and microorganisms. The water pump 7 and the second water pump 11 are respectively responsible for transporting water between the disinfection box 5, the constant temperature box 6, the tank body 2 and the filter assembly 10 to ensure the orderly flow and circulation of water.

[0036] Refer to the appendix Figure 7 The disinfection component includes a ultraviolet lamp 12 and a timer fixedly arranged inside the disinfection box 5. The ultraviolet lamp 12 and the timer are electrically connected to disinfect the water inside the disinfection box 5 regularly.

[0037] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 The constant temperature control component includes a controller 13 fixedly arranged outside the constant temperature box 6, a temperature sensor 14 and an electric heating plate 15 fixedly arranged inside the constant temperature box 6. The temperature sensor 14 and the electric heating plate 15 are both electrically connected to the controller 13. The controller 13 adopts a PLC controller or a single-chip microcomputer.

[0038] Refer to the appendix Figure 6 The filter assembly 10 includes a filter box 16 fixedly arranged on the upper end of the base 1. The filter screen 17 and the filter cotton 18 are detachably fixed inside the filter box 16 by bolts. The filter cotton 18 is located below the filter screen 17. One end of the tank body 2 close to the filter box 16 is provided with a drain port 19. The drain port 19 is communicated with the upper end of the filter box 16. The water inlet end of the second water pump 11 is communicated with the bottom of the filter box 16 through a pipeline 20. The upper end of the filter box 16 is open and a box cover 21 for facilitating the cleaning of filter residues is hinged at the opening. A valve 22 is arranged in the drain port 19.

[0039] The working process of a drinking trough for sheep breeding in the utility model is as follows:

[0040] 1. Initial preparation: Before use, first check whether the connections of all components are firm and whether the wires are connected. Inject an appropriate amount of clean water into the disinfection tank 5 to ensure that the water level is within the safe range. Set the appropriate water temperature range suitable for the sheep to drink through the controller 13 of the thermostat 6, generally between 15 - 25 degrees Celsius. Carefully check whether the filter screen 17 and filter cotton 18 of the filter component 10 are firmly installed and without damage. At the same time, ensure that the valve 22 of the drain port 19 is in the closed state and the electromagnetic control valve 9 is in the energized state.

[0041] 2. Water supply and disinfection: Start the water pump 7. The water pump 7 pumps and transports the water in the disinfection tank 5 to the thermostat 6. During the process of water entering the thermostat 6, the temperature sensor 14 transmits the water temperature data to the controller 13 in real time. If the water temperature is lower than the set value, the controller 13 will control the electric heating plate 15 to start heating until the water temperature reaches the set range. Subsequently, the water that has undergone temperature control is injected into the trough through the pipeline 8 and the electromagnetic control valve 9 to provide clean drinking water at a suitable temperature for the sheep. After injecting an appropriate amount of water, close the electromagnetic control valve 9.

[0042] 3. Drinking process: The sheep come to the trough 2 to drink water. During the sheep's drinking process, some impurities such as grass clippings and feed will fall into the trough 2, resulting in the gradual deterioration of the water quality, and the water temperature may also change due to the environment and the sheep's drinking.

[0043] 4. Drainage and filtration: When the water in the trough 2 needs to be replaced or the water quality deteriorates significantly, open the valve 22 of the drain port 19. At this time, the water containing impurities in the trough 2 flows into the filter box 16 of the filter component under the action of gravity through the drain port 19.

[0044] 5. Filtration and circulation: The water first passes through the filter screen 17, and the filter screen intercepts larger impurities such as grass clippings and larger feed particles. The water preliminarily filtered by the filter screen 17 continues to flow downward and passes through the filter cotton 18. The filter cotton 18 has a fine fiber structure and can adsorb and filter fine impurities, microorganisms, etc. in the water. The relatively clean water after filtration accumulates at the bottom of the filter box 16. Start the second water pump 11. The second water pump 11 pumps the filtered water and re-transports it back to the disinfection tank 5 through the second pipeline 20 for disinfection treatment. After the dirty water in the trough 2 is drained, close the valve 22, open the electromagnetic control valve 9, and inject the stored water in the thermostat 6 into the trough 2 again for the sheep to drink. After the water in the disinfection tank 5 is disinfected, start the water pump 7 to send the water in the disinfection tank into the thermostat 6 for storage, and supply it in this cycle.

[0045] 6. Continuous operation: The entire system operates continuously in a cycle, constantly providing clean and thermostatic drinking water for the sheep. During the operation process, the temperature sensor 14 and the controller 13 work continuously to adjust the water temperature in real time; the disinfection component disinfects regularly according to the setting of the timer; the filter component continuously filters impurities to ensure the water quality.

[0046] 7. Maintenance and cleaning: To ensure the long-term stable operation of the water trough and good filtration effect, regular maintenance and cleaning are required. At regular intervals, open the lid 21 of the filter box 16, take out the filter screen 17 and the filter cotton 18, and clean the filter residue accumulated on them. Check the working status of the ultraviolet lamp 12 and replace it in time if it is damaged.

[0047] The above describes the present utility model and its implementation manners. Such description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Generally speaking, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural manners and embodiments without creative work without departing from the purpose of the creation of the present utility model, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
