Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a drinking water device for cattle. Background Technology

[0002] As ruminants, cattle and sheep have a high demand for drinking water. Therefore, drinking water devices should be used in breeding farms to provide an adequate water source and ensure that cattle and sheep can obtain enough water at any time, which is very important for their healthy growth.

[0003] Because cattle and sheep are ruminants, they usually swallow large amounts of grass or feed without chewing them thoroughly. The unchewed grass or feed remains in their mouths, leaving a large amount of particles or debris. When cattle and sheep drink water, the remaining grass or feed easily falls into the water trough. Over time, the accumulation of grass or feed debris in the water trough can easily pollute the water, increasing the risk of disease for cattle and sheep. However, existing drinking water systems cannot clean up food or other debris that falls into the water.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to obtain a drinking water device for cattle that can clean up debris in the water trough. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a drinking water device for cattle, which aims to solve the problem that existing drinking water devices cannot clean up food or other debris that falls into the water.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a drinking water device for cattle, comprising:

[0007] A housing, the interior of which forms a receiving space;

[0008] A drinking water assembly, at least one side of which is disposed within the receiving space, the drinking water assembly including a drinking water housing and a filter screen, the drinking water housing forming a drinking water space and having an opening at one end of the drinking water housing, the filter screen being disposed within the drinking water space on the side away from the opening;

[0009] A water-activating component is disposed within the accommodating space and connected to the housing. The water-activating component includes a rotating shaft that passes through the lower part of the drinking water housing and is rotatably connected to the drinking water housing.

[0010] A water storage tank, at least one end of which is disposed within the accommodating space, and the water storage tank is provided with a water inlet, which passes through the shell, and the interior of the water storage tank forms a water storage space;

[0011] A filter assembly, one end of which passes through the water storage tank and the other end of which passes through the drinking water housing, wherein the water storage space is connected to the drinking water space through the filter assembly;

[0012] The water storage tank, the filter assembly, and the drinking water assembly are connected in sequence.

[0013] Preferably, the water-generating component further includes a paddle, which is disposed at one end of the drinking space away from the opening, and is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The paddle is connected to the drinking housing through the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft drives the paddle to rotate relative to the drinking housing.

[0014] Preferably, the water supply component further includes a driving device, which includes a motor, a first transmission guide rod, a second transmission guide rod, and a cam assembly. The motor is disposed within the accommodating space and is sequentially connected to the first transmission guide rod, the cam assembly, and the second transmission guide rod. One end of the second transmission guide rod is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the second transmission guide rod is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0015] Preferably, the driving device further includes a water-dividing cap, which is connected to the second transmission guide rod. The water-dividing cap also includes a bearing and a water-dividing component. The bearing is sleeved on the second transmission guide rod, and the water-dividing component is disposed on one end of the second transmission guide rod near the cam assembly.

[0031] This utility model proposes a drinking water device 1000 for cattle, comprising: a shell 100, the interior of which forms a receiving space 110; a drinking water assembly 200, at least one side of which is disposed within the receiving space 110, the drinking water assembly 200 including a drinking water shell 210 and a filter screen 220, the drinking water shell 210 forming a drinking space and having an opening 211 at one end, the filter screen 220 being disposed within the drinking space on the side away from the opening 211; and a flowing water assembly 300, disposed within the receiving space 110 and connected to the shell 100, the flowing water assembly 300 including a rotating shaft 310. A rotating shaft 310 passes through the lower part of the drinking water housing 210 and is rotatably connected to the drinking water housing 210; a water storage tank 400, at least one end of which is disposed within the receiving space 110, and the water storage tank 400 is provided with a water inlet 410, which passes through the housing 100, and the interior of the water storage tank 400 forms a water storage space 420; a filter assembly 500, one end of which passes through the water storage tank 400 and the other end of which passes through the drinking water housing 210, and the water storage space 420 is connected to the drinking water space through the filter assembly 500; wherein, the water storage tank 400, the filter assembly 500, and the drinking water assembly 200 are connected in sequence.

[0032] It is understandable that ruminants such as cattle and sheep do not chew their forage or feed thoroughly, leaving residue in or around their mouths. When cattle and sheep need to drink water after being fed, they will carry the remaining forage or feed scraps into the drinking water. If these scraps are not cleaned up for a long time, they will pollute the drinking water and cause livestock such as cattle and sheep to get sick.

[0033] like Figures 1-3As shown, the drinking water device 1000 for cattle of this utility model has a stepped structure on one side of the shell 100, and the stepped structure has an opening 211 facing upward. The drinking water component 200 is set at the position corresponding to the opening 211 and extends into the shell 100 to form a drinking water space, which makes it convenient for cattle and sheep to drink water directly through the drinking water space. At the same time, when the cattle and sheep drink water, the drinking water stored in the drinking water space is swirled by the water-flow component 300. When the cattle and sheep drink water, they can drink flowing drinking water. During the process of drinking water flow, debris is carried by the water flow to the filter screen 220. Finally, the debris is blocked at the filter screen 220. It can be understood that the filter screen 220 is a detachable structure. When the operator needs to clean the filter screen 220, the filter screen 220 can be directly removed from the drinking water shell 210. The filter mesh number of the filter screen 220 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0034] In detail, in this embodiment, the water storage tank 400 is located at one end of the accommodating space 110 away from the opening 211, and the water inlet 410 of the water storage tank 400 is located above the shell 100. The water storage tank 400 has a water storage space 420, which is connected to the external environment through the water inlet 410. The operator can inject external drinking water into the water storage space 420 of the water storage tank 400 through the water inlet 410 to achieve water storage. The filter assembly 500 includes a pump 510, a filter pipe assembly 520, and a filter 530. The filter pipe assembly 520 is used to connect the pump 510 and the filter 530, as well as to connect the water storage space 420 and the drinking space. When livestock drink water, the pump 510 pumps the drinking water from the water storage tank 400 to the filter 530 through the filter pipe assembly 520. After the filter 530 completes filtration, the filter pipe assembly 520 pumps the water into the drinking space of the drinking water assembly 200 to supply drinking water to the livestock.

[0035] Understandably, the cattle drinking water device 1000 of this utility model can also be equipped with a control computer and sensors. When cattle or sheep need to drink water, the sensors detect the approach of the livestock and send a drinking signal to the control computer. This signal is transmitted to the heating component 700, which heats the drinking water in the water storage tank 400 to 15-25°C. After the drinking water is heated to 15-25°C, the control computer sends a filtration signal to the filter component 500. The pump 510 of the filter component 500 pumps the drinking water to the filter 530. After passing through the filter 530, the drinking water is then pumped into the drinking space to supply water to the livestock, preventing them from drinking. This system aims to prevent livestock from developing diseases due to direct consumption of raw, cold, or contaminated drinking water containing pathogens, impurities, or other harmful substances. It also improves the safety of livestock farming. The drinking water assembly 200 is equipped with a filter screen 220 and a flowing water assembly 300. The flowing water assembly 300 creates a vortex-like flow of drinking water within the drinking space. During this flow, feed debris carried by the livestock is also circulated. The filter screen 220 then blocks the feed debris, separating it from the flowing water. Operators only need to replace the filter screen 220 to clean the drinking water assembly 200.

[0036] In one embodiment, the water-cooling component 300 further includes a paddle 320, which is disposed in the drinking space at one end away from the opening 211 and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 310. The paddle 320 is connected to the drinking housing 210 through the rotating shaft 310, and the rotating shaft 310 drives the paddle 320 to rotate relative to the drinking housing 210.

[0037] In detail, in this embodiment, the blade 320 passes through the bottom of the drinking water housing 210 and is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 310. The blade 320 rotates the drinking water in the drinking space, so that cattle and sheep can drink flowing water, which increases the oxygen content of the drinking water and also drives the feed debris to circulate, preventing the debris from accumulating at the bottom of the drinking water housing 210 and making it difficult to clean.

[0038] Understandably, the number and specific structural shape of the blades 320 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0039] In one embodiment, the water supply component 300 further includes a drive device 330, which includes a motor 331, a first transmission guide rod 332, a second transmission guide rod 333, and a cam assembly 334. The motor 331 is disposed in the receiving space 110. The motor 331 is sequentially connected to the first transmission guide rod 332, the cam assembly 334, and the second transmission guide rod 333. One end of the second transmission guide rod 333 is connected to the rotating shaft 310, and the other end of the second transmission guide rod 333 is connected to the rotating shaft 310.

[0040] In detail, in this embodiment, the motor 331 is set parallel to the ground. The motor 331 drives the first transmission guide rod 332 to rotate. The first transmission guide rod 332 and the second transmission guide rod 333 are perpendicular to each other. The first transmission guide rod 332 drives the second transmission guide rod 333 to rotate through the cam group 334, thereby realizing the rotation of the blade 320.

[0041] Understandably, the cam assembly 334 can be set with multiple cams of different gear ratios, and the control computer is connected to the cam assembly 334. The operator can switch between cams of different gear ratios through the control computer to achieve the rotation speed of the blade 320, thereby adjusting the rotation speed of the water body.

[0042] In one embodiment, the drive device 330 further includes a water-dividing cap 335, which is connected to the second transmission guide rod 333. The water-dividing cap 335 also includes a bearing 337 and a water-dividing component 336. The bearing 337 is sleeved on the second transmission guide rod 333, and the water-dividing component 336 is disposed on the second transmission guide rod 333 at one end near the cam assembly 334. The water-dividing component 336 is connected to the rotating shaft 310 through the bearing 337.

[0043] In this embodiment, the water-dividing cap 335 is sleeved on the second transmission guide rod 333 at one end near the cam assembly 334. The cross-section of the water-dividing cap 335 is trapezoidal, with the longer side being the side closest to the cam assembly 334. That is, the cross-sectional length of the water-dividing cap 335 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the spatial projection of the water-dividing cap 335 completely covers the cam assembly 334, preventing water from entering the cam assembly 334 when the drinking water shell 210 breaks during use, thus ensuring the stable operation of the cam assembly 334. The water-dividing cap 335 includes a water-dividing component 336 and a bearing 337. The bearing 337 is sleeved on the second transmission guide rod 333, and the water-dividing component 336 is sleeved on the bearing 337, so that the water-dividing component 336 does not rotate with the second transmission guide rod 333 when the second transmission guide rod 333 rotates. The cross-section of the water-dividing component 336 is trapezoidal.

[0044] In another embodiment, the water-dividing cap 335 is fixed on the second transmission guide rod 333, and the water-dividing cap 335 rotates with the second transmission guide rod 333.

[0045] A moisture-proof pad is provided on the drinking water shell 210 corresponding to the water distribution cap 335. The moisture-proof pad is fixedly installed on the bottom of the drinking water shell 210 facing the water distribution cap 335 to prevent the drinking water stored in the drinking water shell 210 from leaking downwards due to accidents during the production process, causing water accumulation in the shell 100 and damaging the entire cattle drinking device 1000. At the same time, an overflow box is provided on the side of the drinking water shell 210 facing the cam assembly 334. The overflow box has an opening facing upwards corresponding to the drinking water shell 210. When the drinking water shell 210 is accidentally damaged, the drinking water will directly damage other devices in the containing space 110. The overflow box is used to catch the drinking water that is accidentally leaked from the drinking water shell 210. It can be understood that a through hole is provided on the end of the shell 100 corresponding to the overflow box for draining water out of the shell 100.

[0046] In one embodiment, the drinking water assembly 200 further includes a protective bracket 230, which is disposed in the drinking water space and erected vertically above the space of the paddle 320. The protective bracket 230 is fixedly connected to the drinking water housing 210.

[0047] In this embodiment, a protective bracket 230 is installed over the blade 320 to prevent livestock from being cut by the blade 320 while drinking water. The protective bracket 230 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drinking water housing 210. The protective bracket 230 in this invention is a star-shaped cage. The protective bracket 230 has gaps so as not to affect the blade 320 from directly contacting the water. The protective bracket 230 is made of common engineering plastics such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer), PP (polypropylene), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

[0048] In another embodiment, the protective support 230 can be a net cage, the aperture of which does not affect the propeller 320 from driving the water flow.

[0049] In one embodiment, the drinking water device 1000 for cattle also includes a feeding bin 600, which is disposed inside the water storage bin 400 and one end of the feeding bin 600 passes through the shell 100. One end of the feeding bin 600 is also provided with a through hole, and a feeding space is formed inside the feeding bin 600. The feeding space is connected to the water storage space 420 through the through hole.

[0050] In this embodiment, the feeding bin 600 includes a feeding box 610 with a through hole at the bottom and a feeding trough 620 connected to the feeding box 610. A feeding space is formed inside the feeding box 610, and the feeding trough 620 is used to connect the feeding space to the external environment. Operators can put salt or other water-soluble minerals and other nutrients, medicines, etc. into the feeding space through the feeding trough 620. The through hole at the bottom of the feeding box 610 can prevent debris and impurities from accidentally falling into the water storage bin 400 and polluting the water body during feeding.

[0051] It is understandable that livestock such as cattle and sheep need salt and other water-soluble minerals and other nutrients during their growth. In the prior art, salt and other trace elements are usually added directly to the feed. In this embodiment, the operator can directly add nutrients or medicines to the drinking water in the water storage space 420 through the feeding bin 600.

[0052] In one embodiment, the drinking water device 1000 for cattle also includes a heating component 700, which is disposed in the water storage tank 400, and at least one end of the heating component 700 is connected to the housing 100.

[0053] In this embodiment, the heating component 700 includes a heater, a heating power supply, and an electronic control chip. The electronic control chip is connected to a control computer and controls the heating power supply to turn on or off. The heating power supply is electrically connected to the heater. In this embodiment, the end of the heater closest to the heating power supply is a thick iron rod to prevent the heating power supply from burning out. The other end of the heater is a heat-resistant resistance wire, which heats the drinking water in the water storage space 420 to prevent cattle and sheep from drinking cold water directly and causing diarrhea. The space between the heat-resistant resistance wire and the thick iron rod is filled with an insulating and thermally conductive filler.

[0054] In another embodiment, the heater can be a solar water heater, with the solar collector positioned above the housing 100, absorbing solar radiation and converting it into heat energy to heat the drinking water in the water storage tank 400.

[0055] This invention relates to a drinking water device for cattle, which includes a flowing water component and a filter component. When ruminant livestock such as cattle and sheep drink through the drinking water component, the flowing water component circulates the drinking water within the component, and the filter screen separates debris during the water circulation process. Operators only need to remove any remaining debris from the filter screen, preventing leftover hay or feed from falling into the water trough and contaminating the drinking water. This also prevents long-term accumulation of hay or feed debris in the water trough from polluting the livestock's drinking water, thereby reducing the risk of disease in cattle and sheep and improving the stability of cattle and sheep agricultural production.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
