Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, and specifically relates to a water-saving constant temperature water tank for efficient ecological goat breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Goat farming, as an ancient and traditional form of animal husbandry, has seen its techniques continuously develop and improve with advancements in science and technology and the economy. In the early days, people primarily relied on natural conditions to manage goat herds, such as finding suitable geographical environments for grazing and predicting optimal feeding and watering times by observing weather changes. As agricultural society transitioned to feudal society, goat farming techniques gradually developed. People began to realize the importance of water management for goat growth, leading to more systematic water management systems that required the use of water-saving, temperature-controlled troughs for feeding goats.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN221749302U discloses a constant temperature water tank and a drinking water tank. The drinking water tank is composed of a first side plate, a second side plate, a bottom plate, and the side wall of the constant temperature water tank. An electric heating water pump is fixedly installed on the bottom plate. The inlet end of the electric heating water pump is connected to a suction pipe. A filter box is inserted into the drain and on one side wall of the constant temperature water tank. A filter element is installed in the filter box. Several water-permeable holes are opened on the bottom wall of the filter box. A water storage tank is opened between the bottom plate and the bottom wall of the constant temperature water tank.

[0004] The aforementioned patent can convert drinking water into circulating water, which prevents stagnant water from forming in the trough and avoids the growth of bacteria. The circulating water is filtered to remove impurities floating on the surface, ensuring that the water the goats drink is fresh and clean, reducing the impact on their health and preventing the drinking water from freezing in winter. However, the device still has some shortcomings that need improvement. When the water in the trough is depleted, the system cannot respond quickly and trigger the water supply mechanism, which to some extent hinders the goats from obtaining water smoothly and affects their access to drinking water. On the other hand, although the device is designed with a constant temperature water insulation function, the actual insulation effect is still ordinary, especially under extreme cold conditions, where freezing may still occur, which undoubtedly poses a potential threat to the drinking water safety of goats in winter. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-saving constant temperature water tank for efficient ecological goat farming, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A water-saving, temperature-controlled water tank for efficient ecological goat farming includes a tank body. Glass insulation cotton is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the tank body. A drinking trough is located on one side of the tank body, and a water storage tank is located on the other side. A power assembly is located on one side of the drinking trough, and an agitator plate is slidably connected inside the drinking trough via the power assembly. An electric heating plate is fixedly connected to the agitator plate. A temperature sensor is fixedly connected to one side of the tank body. An installation assembly is located inside the drinking trough, and a float plate is connected inside the drinking trough via the installation assembly. A touch switch is located below the float plate inside the drinking trough. An electric heating water pump is fixedly connected inside the water storage tank, and a suction pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the electric heating water pump.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the stirring plate has a waist-shaped hole inside, and there are multiple waist-shaped holes.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the power assembly includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly connected inside the tank. A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame, and a screw block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw. The screw block is fixedly connected to the stirring plate and slidably connected inside the fixed frame. One side of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to one side of the stirring plate. A sliding groove is formed inside the fixed frame, and the screw block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The lead screw is rotatably connected inside the sliding groove. A motor is fixedly connected to the side of the tank away from the temperature sensor. A first toothed bevel is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A second toothed bevel is meshed with one side of the first toothed bevel, and the first and second toothed bevels are meshed together.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the installation component includes an installation block, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the water storage tank. A guide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the installation block, the float is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the touch switch is installed on the installation block.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, docking columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the floating plate, and docking holes are opened inside the mounting block, with the docking columns movably connected to the docking holes.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a filter element is slidably connected to one side of the tank, and the filter element is located between the drinking water tank and the storage tank.

[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0014] First, in this utility model, by providing an installation component inside the water trough, a float plate and a touch switch are connected to the installation component. When the goat finishes drinking from the water cup in the water trough, the float plate stops floating and contacts the touch switch, thereby notifying the control system to trigger the water supply mechanism. The goat can immediately obtain a new water source without waiting, which greatly improves the convenience of drinking water. This immediate water replenishment also reduces the anxiety or discomfort that goats may experience due to dehydration, which is beneficial to their normal life and health.

[0015] Secondly, in this invention, a power component is installed inside the water trough. This power component drives a stirring plate to move back and forth within the trough, and an electric heating plate is installed on the stirring plate. The movement of water within the trough prevents water molecules from forming an ordered crystal structure, thus slowing down the freezing process. Simultaneously, the flowing water can better exchange heat with the surrounding environment, maintaining a relatively stable water temperature. This more effectively prevents water from freezing under extreme cold conditions, ensuring that goats can continuously obtain liquid water during winter, effectively reducing the risk of dehydration, and ensuring that goats enjoy a safe and suitable drinking environment even in winter.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] Example

[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment describes a water-saving, temperature-controlled water tank for efficient ecological goat farming, comprising a tank body 1. A glass insulation cotton 2 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the tank body 1. Filling with high-temperature resistant glass insulation cotton 2 reduces heat loss and improves the insulation performance of the tank body 1. A drinking trough 3 is provided on one side of the tank body 1, and a water storage tank 4 is provided on the other side. A power assembly 8 is provided on one side of the drinking trough 3, and a stirring plate 5 is slidably connected inside the drinking trough 3 via the power assembly 8. An electric heating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the stirring plate 5. A temperature sensor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the tank body 1. The temperature sensor 7 measures the temperature of the drinking trough 3. When the water temperature is lower than the set value, the temperature control system will activate the electric heating plate 6 to heat the water; when the water temperature reaches the set value, it will shut off. A heating system is included to maintain a constant water temperature. The drinking trough 3 has an internal mounting assembly 11, and a float 9 is connected to the inside of the drinking trough 3 via the mounting assembly 11. A touch switch 10 is located below the float 9 inside the drinking trough 3. An electric heating water pump 12 is fixedly connected inside the water storage tank 4, and a suction pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the input end of the electric heating water pump 12. The electric heating water pump 12 can pump water from the water storage tank 4 into the drinking trough 3 for the goats to use. A controller is also installed on the tank body 1 and connected to the water supply system pump. The touch switch 10 is electrically connected to the controller. Through these improvements, the rapid water supply system and efficient heat preservation mechanism can reduce the burden on farmers, improve the efficiency and accuracy of breeding management, enhance the overall welfare level of goats, and thus promote the sustainable development of the breeding industry.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 The stirring plate 5 has a waist-shaped hole 51 inside, and there are multiple waist-shaped holes 51. By setting multiple waist-shaped holes 51, the resistance of the push plate during the flow process can be reduced, making it move more smoothly, thereby facilitating water operation in the drinking trough 3.

[0026] refer to Figure 4-5The power assembly 8 includes a fixed frame 81, which is fixedly connected inside the tank 1. A lead screw 82 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 81, and a screw block 87 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 82. The screw block 87 is fixedly connected to the stirring plate 5 and slidably connected inside the fixed frame 81. One side of the fixed frame 81 is fixedly connected to one side of the stirring plate 5. A sliding groove 83 is formed inside the fixed frame 81, and the screw block 87 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 83. The lead screw 82 is rotatably connected inside the sliding groove 83. A motor 84 is fixedly connected to the side of the tank 1 away from the temperature sensor 7. The output end of the motor 84 is fixedly connected to a first toothed cone 85, and a second toothed cone 86 is meshed with one side of the first toothed cone 85. The first toothed cone 85 and the second toothed cone 86 are meshed together. By setting the power assembly 8, a fixed frame 81 is installed inside the tank 1, and the stirring plate 5 is installed at the fixed frame 81. The motor 84 drives the first toothed cone 85 to rotate, the first toothed cone 85 drives the second toothed cone 86 to rotate, and the second toothed cone 86 drives the lead screw 82 to rotate, thereby driving the screw block 87 to slide in the slide groove 83, so that the screw block 87 drives the stirring plate 5 to move in the drinking water tank 3, increasing the water flow and heating the water under the action of the electric heating plate 6 to prevent freezing.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The installation assembly 11 includes an installation block 111, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the water storage tank 4. A guide rod 112 is fixedly connected to one side of the installation block 111, and the float 9 is slidably connected to the guide rod 112. The touch switch 10 is installed on the installation block 111, and docking posts 113 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the float 9. A docking hole 114 is opened inside the installation block 111, and the docking post 113 is movably connected to the docking hole 114. By setting the installation assembly 11, the installation block 111 is fixed inside the water storage tank 4, and the guide rod 112 is fixed on the installation block 111, which can guide the float 9 to slide on the guide rod 112, limit the sliding position of the float 9, and prevent the float 9 from drifting randomly. By setting the docking post 113 and the docking hole 114, when the float 9 falls to the lowest point, the docking post 113 is inserted into the docking hole 114, making the float 9 more reliably placed at the lowest point.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 A filter element 14 is slidably connected to one side of the tank 1. The filter element 14 is located between the drinking trough 3 and the water storage tank 4. By setting the filter element 14, the circulating water is filtered to remove impurities floating on the water surface, so that the water that the sheep drink is fresh and clean, reducing the impact on the health of the sheep.

[0029] Operating principle and advantages: Drinking water enters the storage tank 4 through a water pipe and is stored there. When the water level in the storage tank 4 rises to a certain height, the electric heating water pump 12 is activated to heat the drinking water. The electric heating water pump 12 sends the water from the storage tank 4 into the drinking trough 3 through the suction pipe 13. When the drinking trough 3 rises to a certain height, excess water is filtered through the filter element 14 and re-enters the storage tank 4 to form circulating water. When the goat finishes drinking from the cup in the drinking trough 3, the float 9 slides on the guide rod 112 inside the mounting block 111 to prevent the float 9 from drifting and to limit the movement of the float 9. When the float 9 contacts the touch switch 10, it notifies the control. The system triggers the water supply mechanism, allowing goats to immediately obtain a new water source without waiting, which greatly improves the convenience of drinking water. The temperature sensor 7 on the tank 1 monitors the temperature inside the water trough 3. When the temperature drops, the motor 84 drives the first toothed cone 85 to rotate, which in turn drives the second toothed cone 86 to rotate. The second toothed cone 86 then drives the lead screw 82 to rotate, thereby driving the screw block 87 to slide in the slide groove 83. This causes the screw block 87 to move the stirring plate 5 within the water trough 3, increasing water flow. Under the action of the electric heating plate 6, the water is heated to prevent freezing, ensuring that goats can continuously obtain liquid water in winter and effectively reducing the risk of dehydration.
