Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an intelligent animal drinking water heating device, belonging to the field of breeding. Background Art

[0002] Market research has revealed that the drinking water systems currently used by small-scale livestock farmers, some free-range farms, and dairy farms in residential areas no longer meet quality and safety requirements. Problems include: rudimentary equipment, a lack of automatic water supply, manual one-time water filling, and long periods of unmaintained operation, leading to the growth of various microorganisms within the equipment. Larger-scale farms utilize some drinking water equipment with heating functions, but most are rudimentary, with poor thermal insulation, high power consumption, and a high failure rate for the heating devices.

[0003] In the process of animal husbandry production and management, the amount of drinking water is directly related to the health of cattle. It is one of the most critical links in feeding and management, and it is often forgotten and neglected. Studies have shown that the drinking water temperature of cattle in winter should not be lower than 10℃. If the drinking water device is not insulated in winter, it is easy to freeze.

[0004] Drinking cold water can cause various diseases in cattle, leading to reduced milk production and poor growth of beef cattle. With the development of the industrial age, the livestock farming industry has gradually entered the ranks of electrification and intelligentization, and various farming machinery and equipment have emerged. To improve the economic benefits of the farming industry, increase energy utilization, and relieve the physical labor of daily farming managers, providing animals with sufficient drinking water at the right temperature has become a top priority. To solve these problems, the market is in urgent need of a product with excellent thermal insulation performance, low power consumption, and high safety performance. Utility Model Content
