Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock and poultry breeding, in particular to a 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 a 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 a poultry drinking fountain, comprising a water controller and a drinking trough; the water controller is a cylindrical body with sealed upper and lower ends, a hanging fixing member is provided at the center of the upper end of the cylindrical body, and a partition is provided in the cylindrical body to separate the inner cavity of the cylindrical body into an upper cavity and a lower cavity; the upper cavity of the cylindrical body is provided with a first water inlet nozzle, and the bottom of the lower cavity is provided with a water outlet nozzle; the center of the partition is provided with a water guide hole connecting the upper and lower cavities, and a water stop valve plate is provided in the upper cavity of the cylindrical body above the water guide hole; a control rod that passes through the partition and the lower cavity of the cylindrical body is fixedly connected below the water stop valve plate; a stainless steel compression spring is provided in the inner cavity of the cylindrical body, which is sleeved on the above-mentioned control rod, and the upper end of the compression spring supports the water stop valve plate, and the lower end is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cylindrical body; the outer diameter of the compression spring is smaller than the inner diameter of the above-mentioned water guide hole, so that the compression spring can freely pass through the water guide hole on the partition plate;

[0006] The control rod passes through the bottom of the cylinder and is provided with a water sealing ring; the end of the control rod extending out of the lower end of the cylinder is bent to form a hook;

[0007] 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 ring on the top. 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.

[0008] The drinking trough is hung on the hook of the water controller through a hanging ring, 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 stainless steel compression spring of the water controller can drive the water stop valve to open the water guide hole on the partition; when the water level in the drinking trough is too high or overflows, the stainless steel compression spring of the water controller is compressed, and the water stop valve closes the water guide hole on the partition.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the hanging fixing member is a second hook.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the counterweight ball is a plastic ball or a stainless steel ball.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0012] This poultry drinking fountain supplies drinking water to poultry. Leveraging the gravity of the drinking trough, the water inside, and the spring force, it controls the opening and closing of the water stop valve within the water controller, ensuring timely supply of drinking water to fill the trough. This creates a water wave in the trough. Its ingenious, simple structure and low cost solve the problem of automatic water supply while allowing poultry to see the water wave, making it suitable for poultry drinking and fully meeting the needs of intensive poultry farming.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The content of the utility model will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 The poultry drinking fountain shown includes a water controller and a drinking trough;

[0018] like Figure 2 The water controller shown is a cylindrical body 1 with sealed ends at the upper and lower ends. A hanging fixture 2 is provided in the center of the upper end of the cylindrical body 1. A partition 3 is provided inside the cylindrical body 1 to divide the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The upper cavity of the cylindrical body 1 is provided with a first water inlet nozzle 4, and the bottom of the lower cavity is provided with a water outlet nozzle 5. A water guide hole 6 is provided in the center of the partition 3 to connect the upper and lower cavities. A water stop valve plate 7 is provided in the upper cavity of the cylindrical body 1 above the water guide hole 6. A control rod 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water stop valve plate 7 and passes through the partition 3 and the lower cavity of the cylindrical body 1. A stainless steel compression spring 9 is provided in the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1 and is sleeved on the above-mentioned control rod 8. The upper end of the compression spring 9 supports the water stop valve plate 7 and the lower end is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1. The outer diameter of the compression spring 9 is smaller than the inner diameter of the above-mentioned water guide hole 6, so that the compression spring 9 can freely pass through the water guide hole 6 on the partition 3.

[0019] The control rod 8 passes through the bottom of the cylinder 1 and is provided with a water sealing ring; the end of the control rod 8 extending from the lower end of the cylinder 1 is bent to form a first hook 10;

[0020] The drinking trough is composed of a water tray 11, a bird blocking cover 12, and a weighted ball. The bird blocking cover 12 is shaped like an ellipsoid with an open lower end, filled with a weighted ball, and has a hanging ring 13 on the top of the cover. The lower opening of the bird blocking cover 12 is covered with irregular water-permeable holes around the body. The lower opening of the bird blocking cover 12 is combined with the surface of the water tray 11 to form an annular water distribution trough 14. The bird blocking cover 12 is also provided with a second water inlet nozzle 15.

[0021] The drinking trough is suspended on the first hook 10 of the water controller through a hanging ring 13, and the second water inlet nozzle 15 on the drinking trough is connected to the water outlet nozzle 5 of the water controller through a hose 16; by increasing or decreasing the counterweight ball filled in the bird-blocking cover 12 of the drinking trough, when there is a lack of water or insufficient water in the drinking trough, the elastic force of the stainless steel compression spring 9 of the water controller can drive the water stop valve plate 7 to open the water guide hole 6 on the partition 3; when the water level in the drinking trough is too high or overflows, the stainless steel compression spring 9 of the water controller is compressed, and the water stop valve plate 7 closes the water guide hole 6 on the partition 3.

[0022] 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 nozzle 4 of the water controller is connected to an external drinking water source. Drinking water enters the upper chamber of the water controller, flows through the water guide hole 6 on the water controller partition 3 into the lower chamber, then flows through the water controller's water outlet nozzle 5, hose 16, and second water inlet nozzle 15 into the drinking trough's bird guard 12. Then, through the permeable holes in the bird guard 12, it enters the annular water distribution trough 14 for the poultry to drink. When the drinking water entering the annular water distribution trough 14 increases, the water level in the water distribution trough rises, and the weight of the entire drinking trough also increases. The control rod 8 hanging and connected to the drinking trough pulls the water stop valve plate 7 in the water controller to overcome the elastic force of the stainless steel compression spring 9 and continuously descends until the water stop valve plate 7 completely covers the water guide hole 6 on the partition 3, and the drinking water is blocked inside the water controller; at this time, the drinking water in the annular water distribution trough 14 no longer increases, maintaining a dynamic water level balance; when the poultry come to drink water, the drinking water in the annular water distribution trough 14 decreases, and the weight of the entire drinking trough also decreases. The control rod 8 hanging and connected to the drinking trough pulls the water stop valve plate 7 in the water controller and is driven by the elastic force of the stainless steel compression spring 9 to rise rapidly, and the water stop valve plate 7 leaves the water guide hole 6 on the partition 3, and the drinking water is connected to the water supply inside the water controller; the water level entering the annular water distribution trough 14 from the water-permeable holes of the poultry cover 12 rises again, and this cycle repeats, forming circles of water waves on the surface of the water tray 11.

[0023] 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 14 due to the obstruction of the poultry cover 12. The poultry will not collide with the drinking trough to damage the opening and closing of the water stop valve 7 in the water controller, thereby maintaining the dynamic water level balance of the entire system and preventing overflow and waste.

[0024] 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.
