[0027] See also Figure 1-5 ,The utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A constant temperature drinking water trough for animal husbandry comprises a water tank 1, a water inlet 2 is fixedly provided on one side of the top of the water tank 1, a heating component 3 is fixedly provided inside the water tank 1, the heating component 3 comprises a heater 301 located on the side wall of the water tank 1, a switch 302 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the heater 301, a heating rod 303 is fixedly provided on the output end of the switch 302 through the side wall of the water tank 1, a heating wire 304 is sleeved on the circumferential outer wall of the heating rod 303, an insulating block 305 is sleeved on the other end of the circumferential outer wall of the heating rod 303, a temperature detector 306 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the heater 301, a water pipe 4 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the front wall of the heater 301, a water trough 5 is fixedly provided on the other end of the water pipe 4, a water discharge component 6 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the inner cavity of the water trough 5, a drain outlet 7 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the side of the water trough 5, a plug 8 is clamped on the circumferential inner wall of the drain outlet 7, and the heater 301 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The utility model replenishes water to the water tank 1 through the water inlet 2, turns on the heater 301 through the switch 302, causes the heating rod 303 to heat the water, and increases the contact area with the water through the heating wire 304, thereby shortening the heating time. The insulating block 305 prevents the heating rod 303 from directly contacting the water tank 1 and causing a short circuit. The temperature detector 306 detects the temperature of the water inside the constant temperature drinking trough for animal husbandry, thereby controlling the water temperature to maintain the temperature required by the animals. The water trough 5 at the other end of the water pipe 4 is used to facilitate drinking water for the animals. The contaminated water is discharged by removing the plug 8 to prevent the animals from getting infected or sick.

[0029] Specifically, the drain assembly 6 includes a fixed rod 601, with a float 602 sheathed around its outer circumference. A stopper 603 is fixed to the top of the outer circumference of the fixed rod 601. A sensor 604 is fixed to one side of the top of the water tank 5. A solenoid valve 605 is fixed to the outer circumference of the water pipe 4. The sensor 604 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 605. As the water level in the water tank 5 rises, the float 602 rises, contacting the sensor 604 and closing the solenoid valve 605. A drop in the water level causes the float 602 to drop, opening the solenoid valve 605 and maintaining a constant water level in the water tank 5 to prevent water from overflowing and causing waste. The stopper 603 prevents the float 602 from dislodging.

[0030] Further, the top of the water tank 5 is open, and the water tank 5 height is 45 cm. The water tank 5 height is set to 45 cm to prevent the water from being too high to affect the drinking water of small farmed animals, and being too low to be easily polluted by ground dust.

[0031] It is worth noting that the position of the float 602 matches the position of the sensor 604. The material of the float 602 is polyethylene. The polyethylene float 602 is convenient for better floating control of the sensor 604, thereby controlling the water output of the constant temperature drinking trough for livestock breeding.

[0032] It is noteworthy that the material of the plug 8 is vulcanized rubber, and a handle 9 is fixed on the side wall of the plug 8. The plug 8 made of vulcanized rubber increases the sealing performance, and the handle 9 is convenient for the staff to use.

[0033] In addition, a plurality of fixing blocks 10 are fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the water trough 5, and screw holes 11 are opened on the top of each fixing block 10. Bolts are passed through the screw holes 11 on the top of the fixing blocks 10 to fix the water trough 5, thereby preventing the livestock from colliding and overturning the constant temperature drinking water trough for livestock breeding.

[0034] In addition, the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all prior art and can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. Needless to say, the content protected by this utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method.

[0035] The device or equipment models involved in this article are as follows:

[0036] The model of the heater 301 may be: CWDR0.6-85 / 60.

[0037] Working principle: When the device is needed for constant temperature drinking water for animal husbandry, water is added to the water tank 1 through the water inlet 2, and the heater 301 is turned on by the switch 302, so that the heating rod 303 heats the water. The contact area with the water is increased by the heating wire 304, thereby shortening the heating time. The insulating block 305 prevents the heating rod 303 from directly contacting the water tank 1 and causing a short circuit. The temperature detector 306 detects the temperature of the water inside the constant temperature drinking trough for animal husbandry, thereby controlling the water temperature to maintain the temperature required by the animals. The water is convenient for the animals to drink water through the water trough 5 at the other end of the water pipe 4, and the contaminated water is discharged by pulling out the plug 8. The water in the water tank 5 is used to prevent the farmed animals from getting sick. The rising water level in the water tank 5 drives the float 602 to rise, thereby contacting the sensor 604, and then closing the electromagnetic valve 605. The falling water level drives the float 602 to drop, thereby opening the electromagnetic valve 605, so that the water level in the water tank 5 is kept at a constant position to avoid water overflow and waste. The limit block 603 prevents the float 602 from detaching, and the vulcanized rubber plug 8 increases the sealing performance. The handle 9 is used for convenience of use by the staff, and the bolt is passed through the screw hole 11 on the top of the fixing block 10 to fix the water tank 5 to prevent the farmed animals from colliding and causing the constant temperature drinking water trough for livestock breeding to overturn.
