Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waterline fixing technology, and specifically relates to a waterline clamp fixing structure. Background Technology
[0002] In poultry farming, water lines are commonly used to supply water to poultry. During installation, the water line must be securely attached to the feeding tray to prevent problems such as loosening or leakage. This ensures a stable water supply for the poultry and avoids unnecessary economic losses. However, current water line clamping devices cannot be operated with one hand. Installation space is limited, and single-handed operation requires significant force, is time-consuming, and laborious. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the clamps are prone to coming loose, leading to water line detachment and leakage. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model proposes a waterline clamp fixing structure, which solves the problems of existing clamps for fixing waterlines being inconvenient to operate with one hand, time-consuming and laborious, and prone to falling off after long-term use.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A waterline clamp fixing structure includes a connecting cylinder and a buckle. The buckle is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting cylinder, and a through hole is opened at the bottom of the buckle, which communicates with the interior of the connecting cylinder. An opening A is provided at the top of the buckle. The buckle is flexible, and the left and right sides of the buckle can move closer and further apart to adjust the size of the opening A. A serration is provided at one end of the top of the buckle, and a groove is provided at the other end of the top of the buckle. The serration extends into the groove and engages with the groove.
[0006] Through the above technical solution, the buckle is flexible. The left and right sides of the buckle can adjust the size of the opening A by moving closer and further apart, so that the opening A can expand to accommodate the water line and shrink to hold the water line tightly. The serrations on the top of the buckle are inserted into the slot for engagement, thereby fixing the water line after the opening A shrinks to hold it tightly, improving the firmness and stability of the buckle holding the water line. Moreover, the entire process can be operated with one hand, without being affected by the limited space for water line installation, making the operation convenient, quick and easy, saving time and effort.
[0007] Optionally, the inner wall of the connecting cylinder is provided with several locking blocks in a vertical direction for locking and fixing with the water delivery pipe.
[0008] The above technical solution allows the card block to be fixed to the water delivery pipe, making installation and disassembly convenient and quick.
[0009] Optionally, a push plate is provided at one end of the top of the buckle. The push plate is vertically arranged and perpendicular to the top of the buckle. The push plate is located above the slot, and the push plate and the slot are located at the same end of the top of the buckle.
[0010] The above technical solution provides a point of leverage, allowing one hand to hold the buckle while pushing the push plate with a single finger to separate the left and right sides of the buckle, increasing the size of opening A. It also allows the buckle to grip the waterline tightly and then pull the push plate back, bringing the slot and saw teeth closer together, thus quickly and effortlessly engaging the saw teeth inside the slot. The operation is convenient and quick.
[0011] Optionally, a reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate.
[0012] The above technical solution can further enhance the stability of the push plate.
[0013] Optionally, a notch is provided at one end of the top of the buckle. The notch is located at the end of the serration away from the slot. The notch is used to increase the gap between the two ends of the buckle after the serration and the slot are engaged.
[0014] The above technical solution allows for an increase in the gap between the outer end of the saw teeth and the outer end of the slot after the saw teeth are engaged with the slot. This facilitates the separation of the buckle from the water line by pushing the slot end and the saw teeth end through the notch, thus improving the efficiency of disassembly.
[0015] Optionally, the buckle includes a connecting plate and a side plate. The connecting plate has a through hole in its center. The left and right ends of the connecting plate are respectively fixedly connected to the side plates. The lower end of the side plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The side plates and the connecting plate are inclined. The two side plates are connected to the connecting plate to form a U-shape. The side plates and the connecting plate are integrally formed.
[0016] With the above technical solution, the side plate and the connecting plate are connected in a U-shape, which helps to expand the space at the top of the buckle and facilitates quick and easy clamping of the water line.
[0017] Optionally, the upper ends of the two side plates are bent towards each other in an L-shape. One side plate has a serration at its upper end, and the other side plate has a slot at its upper end. The slot is provided in correspondence with the serration. The slot has a serration groove inside that matches the serration. The serration extends into the slot and contacts and engages with the serration groove.
[0018] With the above technical solution, the upper ends of the side plates are bent into an L-shape, which helps to increase the contact area between the upper end of the buckle and the water line, and improves the efficiency and stability of the water line clamping.
[0019] Optionally, the buckle is made of flexible plastic.
[0020] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] The clamp fixing structure in this utility model allows the size of the opening A to be adjusted by the mutual approach and distance of the left and right sides of the buckle, making it convenient and quick to wrap the entire structure around the water line. The design of the serrations and the slots allows the buckle to engage with the slots at the top of the buckle after it has gripped the water line, thereby closing the entire buckle. This enables one-handed operation of the buckle and achieves the purpose of gripping and fixing the water line, without being affected by the limited space for water line installation.
[0022] The push-plate design allows for easy separation of the two side panels and pulling them closer together. This makes the installation and removal of the clips and water lines quick and easy, saving time and effort.
[0023] The notch design increases the gap between the two ends of the buckle after they are engaged, making it easier to separate the two ends of the buckle top by applying force through the notch when disassembling the buckle from the water line. This makes disassembly quick, easy, and saves time and effort. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] This application discloses a waterline clamp fixing structure.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] according to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a water line clamping and fixing structure includes a connecting cylinder 1 and a buckle 2. The top of the connecting cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the buckle 2, and several clamping blocks 6 are vertically opened on the inner side wall of the connecting cylinder 1 for clamping with the water delivery pipe 13.
[0036] The buckle 2 is made of flexible plastic material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, or polyurethane. A through hole 3 is provided at the bottom of the buckle 2, and the through hole 3 is aligned vertically with the center of the connecting cylinder 1. An opening A is provided at the top of the buckle 2. The left and right sides of the buckle 2 move closer together and further apart, thereby controlling the size of the opening A. A serration 4 is provided at one end of the top of the buckle 2, and a groove 5 is provided at the other end. The groove 5 is used to accommodate and fix the serration 4, which extends into and engages with the groove 5.
[0037] A push plate 7 is provided at one end of the top of the buckle 2. The push plate 7 is vertically positioned and perpendicular to the top of the buckle 2. A reinforcing rib 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 7. The push plate 7 is located above the slot 5, and the push plate 7 and the slot 5 are located at the same end of the top of the buckle 2. Pushing the push plate 7 helps to expand the space of the slot 5, thereby facilitating the disengagement of the saw teeth 4 from the slot 5.
[0038] The buckle 2 includes a connecting plate 10 and a side plate 11. The connecting plate 10 has a through hole 3 in the center. The left and right ends of the connecting plate 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the side plate 11. The lower end of the side plate 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 10. The side plate 11 and the connecting plate 10 are inclined. The two side plates 11 are connected to the connecting plate 10 and form a U-shape. The side plate 11 and the connecting plate 10 are integrally formed. The upper ends of the two side plates 11 are bent towards each other in an L-shape. The upper end of one side plate 11 is provided with a serration 4, and the upper end of the other side plate 11 is provided with a slot 5. The slot 5 is corresponding to the serration 4. The inside of the slot 5 is provided with a serration 4 groove that matches the serration 4. The serration 4 extends into the slot 5 and contacts and engages with the serration 4 groove.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] according to Figure 6 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that: a notch 9 is provided at one end of the top of the buckle 2. The notch 9 is located at the end of the saw tooth 4 away from the slot 5. The notch 9 is used to increase the gap between the two ends of the buckle 2 after the saw tooth 4 and the slot 5 are engaged, so as to facilitate pushing or prying the end of the slot 5 from the notch 9 to separate the end of the slot 5 from the end of the saw tooth 4 and separate the buckle 2 from the water line.
[0041] Working principle:
[0042] The entire clamp fixing structure is placed below the water line and above the water delivery pipe 13. The water line is placed horizontally, and the water delivery pipe 13 is placed vertically. The lower end of the water delivery pipe 13 is connected to the feeding tray 14. Water in the water line is delivered to the water delivery pipe 13 through the through hole 3 in the clamp fixing structure, and finally reaches the feeding tray 14. There are two ways to install the clip 2 to the water line:
[0043] The first method involves fitting the connecting cylinder 1 onto the top of the water delivery pipe 13, aligning the water outlet of the water line and the through hole 3 of the buckle 2 with the water delivery pipe 13 vertically. The connecting cylinder 1 is then engaged with the outer wall of the water delivery pipe 13 via the clamping block 6. The space between the two side plates 11 is aligned with the water line, ensuring the water line is positioned between the two side plates 11. The operator holds both side plates 11 with one hand, bringing them closer together. The serration 4 at the top of the buckle 2 is inserted into the slot 5, thus closing the top of the buckle 2. When it is necessary to separate the serration 4 from the slot 5, the operator uses their thumb to pull the push plate 7, thereby expanding the space of the slot 5. This loosens the engagement between the serration 4 and the slot 5, separating the serration 4 from the slot 5 and leaving the top of the buckle 2 in an open state, facilitating the separation of the water line from the buckle 2.
[0044] The second method: The connecting cylinder 1 is fitted onto the top of the water delivery pipe 13, so that the outlet of the water line and the through hole 3 of the buckle 2 are aligned with the water delivery pipe 13 vertically. The connecting cylinder 1 is engaged with the outer wall of the water delivery pipe 13 through the buckle 6. The space between the two side plates 11 is aligned with the water line, so that the water line is located between the two side plates 11. The operator holds the two side plates 11 with one hand, so that the two side plates 11 are close to each other. The serration 4 at the top of the buckle 2 is inserted into the slot 5, thereby closing the top of the buckle 2. When it is necessary to separate the serration 4 from the slot 5, the operator applies pressure from the notch 9 with his thumb to push the end of the slot 5, increasing the gap between the slot 5 and the serration 4, thereby loosening the engagement between the serration 4 and the slot 5, thus separating the serration 4 from the slot 5, so that the top of the buckle 2 is in an open state, making it convenient to separate the water line from the buckle 2.
[0045] A drinking device is installed at the center of the feeding tray 14. The drinking device includes a fixed base 15. An opening B is provided on one side of the fixed base 15. A cavity is provided inside the fixed base 15. A lower float 17 is hinged inside the fixed base 15. The top of the lower float 17 is L-shaped. One end of the top of the lower float 17 is hinged to the inner wall of the fixed base 15. The other end of the top of the lower float 17 is horizontal. The lower end of the lower float 17 extends out from the opening B of the fixed base 15. A limit hole 18 is provided at the top of the fixed base 15. An upper float 16 is slidably connected in the limit hole 18. The upper float 16 is vertically arranged and located in the water delivery pipe 13. The upper float 16 and the limit hole 18 are spaced apart. The bottom of the upper float 16 contacts the top of the lower float 17, which is horizontally arranged. A drinking nipple is installed at the upper end of the water delivery pipe 13. The drinking nipple and the upper float 16 are arranged vertically and vertically respectively. When the water line starts to deliver water, the water in the water line is output from the water outlet and enters the water delivery pipe 13 through the through hole 3 of the buckle 2, and finally falls into the feeding tray 14. When the water level in the feeding tray 14 rises to a certain height, the lower end of the lower float 17 floats up, and the upper end of the lower float 17 moves downward, driving the upper float 16 to move downward. The upper float 16 moves downward and disengages from the drinking nipple, so that the water in the water line will not pass through the through hole of the buckle 2. 3. After the water in the feeding tray 14 is partially drunk by the poultry, the water level in the feeding tray 14 drops, the buoyancy of the lower end of the lower float 17 decreases, the lower end of the lower float 17 moves downward, and the upper end of the lower float 17 moves upward, driving the upper float 16 to move upward. During the upward movement, the upper float 16 contacts the drinking nipple, allowing the water in the water line to continue to enter the feeding tray 14 through the through hole 3 in the buckle 2, and finally fall into the feeding tray 14, causing the water level in the feeding tray 14 to rise again, making it convenient for the poultry to continue drinking water.
[0046] The drinking nipple and drinking device described in this utility model are both existing technologies, and their specific structures and implementation principles will not be elaborated here.
