[0020] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present invention, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 , the utility model embodiment of an automatic drinking fountain for an automated chicken cage includes: a base 1, a water supply pipe 2 is installed through the side wall of the base 1, a bottom plate 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base 1, a slide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the front wall of the base 1, the outer wall of the slide rail 3 is slidably connected to a water receiving tray 4, the rear wall of the water receiving tray 4 is provided with a slide groove 402 adapted to the slide rail 3, a water trough 301 is opened inside the slide rail 3, a water hole 401 is opened on the rear wall of the water receiving tray 4, the water outlet position of the water trough 301 corresponds to the position of the water hole 401, and the water A connecting water pipe 8 is connected between the top of the groove 301 and the bottom of the water supply pipe 2. A flow control valve 9 is installed at the connection between the water supply pipe 2 and the connecting water pipe 8. A solenoid valve 10 is installed at the connection between the connecting water pipe 8 and the water groove 301. A cross bar 5 is fixed to the front wall of the base 1. The cross bar 5 is located above the water receiving tray 4. A circuit board 7 is installed at the top of the cross bar 5. A sensor 6 is installed at the bottom of the cross bar 5. The detection range of the sensor 6 corresponds to the size of the water receiving tray 4. The sensor 6 is electrically connected to the circuit board 7, and the circuit board 7 is controlled by the solenoid valve 10. Through the water supply pipe 2, water receiving tray 4, sensor 6, circuit board 7, connecting water pipe 8, flow control valve 9, and solenoid valve 10, when supplying water to chickens, first control the flow control valve 9 to adjust the water pressure of the water. Low-pressure water is more suitable for raising young chickens. Then, if the head of a young chicken enters the water receiving tray 4, the sensor 6 detects the presence of the chicken body and sends a signal to the circuit board 7. The circuit board 7 controls the solenoid valve 10 to open the water flow channel. The water flows from the connecting water pipe 8 to the water trough 301, and then slowly flows through the water hole 401. The water slowly flows into the water receiving tray 4 for the chicks to drink. When the chicks finish drinking and leave, the sensor 6 detects that the chickens have left, and the circuit board 7 controls the solenoid valve 10 to close, thereby avoiding waste of water resources and constantly providing fresh water for the chicks to avoid stagnant water affecting their health. At the same time, there is no need to add water manually, thereby improving the efficiency of feeding. Through the provided slide rail 3, bottom plate 101, and slide groove 402, when the water receiving tray 4 needs to be cleaned, the water receiving tray 4 can be slid upwards to separate the slide groove 402 from the slide rail 3 to complete the disassembly, and the water receiving tray 4 can be cleaned to improve the cleaning efficiency.
[0022] Working principle: When in use, when supplying water to chickens, first control the flow control valve 9 to adjust the water pressure of the flowing water. Low-pressure flowing water is more suitable for raising young chickens. Then, if the head of a young chicken enters the water receiving tray 4, the sensor 6 detects the presence of the chicken body and transmits a signal to the circuit board 7. The circuit board 7 controls the solenoid valve 10 to open the water flow channel. The water flows from the connecting water pipe 8 to the water trough 301, and then slowly flows into the water receiving tray 4 through the water hole 401 for the young chickens to drink. When the young chickens finish drinking and leave, the sensor 6 detects that the chicken body has left, and the circuit board 7 controls the solenoid valve 10 to close, avoiding waste of water resources and providing fresh water for the young chickens. When the water tray 4 needs to be cleaned, slide the water receiving tray 4 upwards to disengage the slide 402 from the slide rail 3 to complete the disassembly, and the water tray 4 can be cleaned.
[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
