Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock and poultry breeding, in particular to an improved drinking fountain for poultry breeding. Background Art
[0002] In existing poultry farming, drinking water is typically supplied through rubber pipes. In this mode, water flows through a sealed rubber pipe, controlled by a rubber nipple. When poultry pecks at the nipple, water automatically drips out, allowing them to drink. However, the rubber pipes and nipples are susceptible to aging, leading to water control failure. This results in slow growth and reduced production performance due to insufficient water intake. Furthermore, rubber pipes are relatively expensive, increasing farming costs. Therefore, achieving a timely and simple drinking water supply at a low cost has become a major challenge facing the farming industry.
[0003] On February 9, 2018, China's invention patent application publication number CN107667897A disclosed a water dispenser for a breeding house, which belongs to the field of livestock and poultry breeding technology. It includes a drinking trough for holding drinking water for poultry and livestock; a water storage tank located above the drinking trough for storing drinking water for poultry and livestock, and a conical water guide portion is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank. The inner diameter of the water guide portion gradually decreases, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water guide portion; an automatic water supply chain includes a water outlet plug located at the water outlet, and a floating block arranged in the drinking trough. The water outlet plug and the floating block are connected by a connecting line, and the connecting line is suspended above the water storage tank. Although the water dispenser can supply drinking water that is lacking in the trough, it is inevitable that the floating block in the drinking trough will float on the water surface and be hit by the poultry and livestock drinking water. The floating block will drift and sink and float, causing the connecting line to pull the water outlet plug to open and close uncontrolled to release water, resulting in overflow and waste. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The utility model is aimed at the deficiencies in the existing technology and provides an improved drinking water dispenser for poultry farming, which changes the water control concept of the existing drinking water dispenser. It has a simple structure and can timely supply drinking water that is lacking in the water tank without overflowing and wasting water, thereby improving the farming quality of poultry and livestock.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is designed to provide an improved drinking fountain for poultry farming, which includes a water controller and a drinking trough; the water controller is a cylindrical body sealed at both ends, with a hanging fixture at the center of the upper end of the cylindrical body, and the inner cavity of the cylindrical body is divided into an upper cavity, a middle cavity and a lower cavity by a first partition and a second partition; a compression spring is encapsulated in the upper cavity of the cylindrical body; a first water inlet nozzle leading to the outside is provided above the middle cavity of the cylindrical body; a water outlet nozzle is provided at the bottom of the lower cavity of the cylindrical body; a first center hole is provided in the center of the first partition; a water guide hole is provided in the center of the second partition; and a water outlet nozzle is provided in the center of the bottom of the cylindrical body. a second center hole; a control rod passes through the second center hole at the bottom of the cylindrical body, the water guide hole of the second partition, the first center hole of the first partition, and the compression spring in the upper chamber in sequence from bottom to top, and is then fixedly connected to the spring pressure plate; a first water sealing ring is provided at the point where the control rod passes through the second center hole at the bottom of the cylindrical body; a water stop valve plate is provided in the middle chamber above the water guide hole of the second partition; a second water sealing ring is provided at the point where the control rod passes through the first center hole of the first partition; the outer diameter of the control rod is smaller than the inner diameter of the water guide hole of the second partition; the end of the control rod extending from the lower end of the cylindrical body is bent to form a first hook;
[0006] The drinking trough is composed of a water tray, a bird-blocking cover, and a weighted ball. The bird-blocking cover is shaped like an ellipsoid with an open lower end, filled with a weighted ball, and has a hanging lug on the top of the cover. The lower opening of the bird-blocking cover is covered with irregular water-permeable holes around the entire body. The lower opening of the bird-blocking cover is combined with the surface of the water tray to form an annular water distribution trough. The bird-blocking cover is also provided with a second water inlet nozzle.
[0007] The drinking trough is hung on the first hook of the water controller through a hanging ear, and the second water inlet nozzle on the drinking trough is connected to the water outlet nozzle of the water controller through a hose; by increasing or decreasing the counterweight ball filled in the bird-blocking cover of the drinking trough, when there is a lack of water or insufficient water in the drinking trough, the elastic force of the compression spring in the water controller can drive the water stop valve to open the water guide hole on the second partition; when the water level in the drinking trough is too high or overflows, the compression spring of the water controller is compressed, and the water stop valve closes the water guide hole on the second partition.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the hanging fixing member is a second hook.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the counterweight ball is a plastic ball or a stainless steel ball.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0011] The utility model utilizes a first partition plate and a cylindrical body to form a sealed upper chamber, which prevents the spring in the upper chamber from rusting due to waterlogging, thereby maintaining a stable elastic coefficient of the spring. This improved poultry drinking fountain is used to supply drinking water to poultry. The gravity of the drinking trough itself, the gravity of the water in the trough, and the elastic force of the spring control the opening and closing of the water stop valve in the water controller, enabling timely supply of drinking water to the drinking trough when it is lacking, and forming water waves in the trough. Its ingenious, simple structure and low cost not only solve the problem of automatic water supply, but also allow poultry to see the water waves, making it suitable for poultry drinking and fully meeting the needs of intensive poultry farming.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The content of the utility model will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0016] like Figure 1 An improved drinking fountain for poultry farming comprises a water controller and a drinking trough.
[0017] like Figure 2The water controller is a cylindrical body 1 sealed at both ends, with a hanging fixture 2 at the center of the upper end of the cylindrical body 1. The inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1 is divided into an upper cavity, a middle cavity and a lower cavity by a first partition 3 and a second partition 4. A compression spring 5 is encapsulated in the upper cavity of the cylindrical body 1; a first water inlet nozzle 6 leading to the outside is provided above the middle cavity of the cylindrical body 1; a water outlet nozzle 7 is provided at the bottom of the lower cavity of the cylindrical body 1; a first center hole 8 is opened in the center of the first partition 3; a water guide hole 9 is opened in the center of the second partition 4; a second center hole 10 is opened in the center of the bottom of the cylindrical body 1; a control rod 11 passes through the bottom of the cylindrical body 1 from bottom to top. The second center hole 10, the water guide hole 9 of the second partition 4, the first center hole 8 of the first partition 3, and the compression spring 5 in the upper chamber are fixedly connected to the spring pressure plate 12; the control rod 11 passes through the second center hole 10 at the bottom of the cylindrical body 1 and is provided with a first water sealing ring; the control rod 11 is provided with a water stop valve plate 13 in the middle chamber above the water guide hole 9 of the second partition 4; the control rod 11 passes through the first center hole 8 of the first partition 3 and is provided with a second water sealing ring; the outer diameter of the control rod 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the water guide hole 9 of the second partition 4; the end of the control rod 11 extending from the lower end of the cylindrical body 1 is bent to form a first hook 14;
[0018] The drinking trough is composed of a water tray 15, a bird blocking cover 16 and a weighted ball 21; the bird blocking cover 16 is shaped like an ellipsoid with an open lower end, filled with a weighted ball 21, and has a hanging ear 17 on the top of the cover; the lower end opening of the bird blocking cover 16 is covered with irregular water-permeable holes around the body, and the lower end opening of the bird blocking cover 16 is combined with the surface of the water tray 15 to form an annular water distribution trough 18; the bird blocking cover 16 is also provided with a second water inlet nozzle 19;
[0019] The drinking trough is suspended on the first hook 14 of the water controller through a hanging ear 17, and the second water inlet nozzle 19 on the drinking trough is connected to the water outlet nozzle 7 of the water controller through a hose 20; by increasing or decreasing the counterweight ball 21 filled in the bird-blocking cover 16 of the drinking trough, when there is a lack of water or insufficient water in the drinking trough, the elastic force of the compression spring 5 in the water controller can drive the water stop valve plate 13 to open the water guide hole 9 on the second partition plate 4; when the water level in the drinking trough is too high or overflows, the compression spring 5 of the water controller is compressed, and the water stop valve plate 13 closes the water guide hole 9 on the second partition plate 4.
[0020] During operation, the entire device is suspended above the poultry house, with the drinking trough 50-100 mm above the ground. The first water inlet 6 of the water controller is connected to an external drinking water source. Drinking water enters the central chamber of the water controller, flows through the water guide hole 9 on the second partition 4 of the water controller into the lower chamber of the water controller, then flows through the water outlet 7, hose 20, and second water inlet 19 into the bird guard 16 of the drinking trough. It then flows through the permeable holes in the bird guard 16 into the annular water distribution trough 18 for the poultry to drink. As the amount of drinking water entering the annular water distribution trough 18 increases, the water level in the trough rises, and the weight of the entire drinking trough also increases. The control rod 11 suspended from the drinking trough pulls the spring pressure plate 12 in the water controller to overcome the elastic force of the compression spring 5 and continuously descend. The control rod 11 brings the water stop valve plate 13 down to cover the water guide hole 9 on the second partition plate 4 until the water stop valve plate 13 completely covers the water guide hole 9 on the second partition plate 4, and the drinking water is blocked inside the water controller. At this time, the amount of drinking water in the annular water distribution trough 18 no longer increases, and a constant A dynamic water level balance is achieved; when poultry come to drink water, the drinking water in the annular water distribution trough 18 decreases, and the weight of the entire drinking trough is also reduced. The control rod 11 hanging and connected to the drinking trough pulls the water stop valve plate 13 in the water controller, which is driven by the elastic force of the compression spring 5 to rise rapidly. The water stop valve plate 13 leaves the water guide hole 9 on the partition, and the drinking water is connected to the water supply inside the water controller; the water level entering the annular water distribution trough 18 from the water-permeable holes of the poultry cover 16 rises again, and this cycle repeats, forming circles of water waves on the surface of the water tray 15.
[0021] When several poultry come to drink water at the same time, they can only drink water along the direction of the annular water distribution trough 18 due to the obstruction of the poultry cover 16. The poultry will not collide with the drinking trough to damage the opening and closing of the water stop valve 13 in the water controller, thereby maintaining the dynamic water level balance of the entire system and preventing overflow and waste.
[0022] The above content is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it cannot be considered that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the concept of the present invention, they can make several simple deductions or substitutions, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
