Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cattle breeding technology, specifically to an automatic water supply device for large-scale cattle breeding. Background Technology

[0002] With the rise of agricultural production, cattle farming has begun to be carried out in large-scale production. Cattle can not only produce milk but also be used for food. Beef is a common type of meat, and as market demand increases, the scale of cattle farming is also growing larger.

[0003] Currently, most cattle sheds use water troughs to provide drinking water for cattle. However, the water that can be stored in the troughs is limited. After the cattle drink a few times, the water in the troughs will run out, and manual replenishment is required, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the prior art (Chinese patent publication number: CN221241259U, application date: 2023-11-03) discloses an automatic water supply device for cattle sheds, including a water storage tank and a drinking trough. The interior of the drinking trough gradually decreases in size from top to bottom. A drain pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank, and the drain pipe is connected to the interior of the water storage tank. The bottom of the drain pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the drinking trough. A water inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the water storage tank. A water replenishment mechanism is provided inside the drinking trough. The water mechanism includes a movable plate, a return spring, a sealing block, a connecting hole, and a water injection groove. The movable plate is movably installed inside the drinking trough. The return springs are all fixedly installed on the bottom wall inside the drinking trough and fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the movable plate. The sealing block is fixedly installed on the top wall of the movable plate. This utility model achieves the effect of automatic water replenishment when cattle drink, reduces manual labor, and solves the problem of needing to frequently replenish the drinking trough manually.

[0005] While existing designs can solve the above problems, they are too complex to be installed in indoor cattle raising areas with limited space when it comes to adding water. Moreover, most existing designs only consider timed watering, but do not have corresponding prompting mechanisms when cattle have drunk all the water. Even if timed watering is possible, some cattle that have not received enough water may still feel thirsty. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic water supply device for large-scale cattle farming, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are too complicated to be installed in indoor cattle farming areas with limited space. Moreover, most existing designs only consider timed water supply, but do not have a corresponding prompting mechanism when the cattle have drunk all the water. Even if timed water supply can be achieved, some cattle that have not been replenished with enough water may still feel thirsty.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic water supply device for large-scale cattle farming, comprising a water inlet pipe installed on the back of a water storage tank, wherein the water storage tank and the water inlet pipe are internally connected, and a transmission pipe is installed inside the water storage tank, wherein an elastic sliding mechanism for internally connecting the water supply pipe is installed inside the transmission pipe, the upper end of the transmission pipe is conical, and a first inner groove is formed at the upper end of the transmission pipe, wherein an abutment compression rod is installed inside the transmission pipe, and the abutment compression rod slides along the inner trajectory of the first inner groove, wherein a hollow limiting frame is installed at the lower end of the transmission pipe, and an output baffle is installed inside the hollow limiting frame, wherein an abutment recovery spring is installed above the output baffle, and the upper end of the abutment recovery spring is installed on the inner surface of the transmission pipe; a drinking trough is installed at the other end of the water supply pipe, and an elastic transmission mechanism for activating an alarm is installed on the back of the drinking trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic transmission mechanism includes a rotating abutment rod, which is rotatably mounted inside the side of the drinking trough. A sliding transmission rod is mounted above the rotating abutment rod, and a return spring is mounted on the outer surface of the sliding transmission rod. The return spring is nested on the outer surface of the sliding transmission rod, and a support bracket is mounted on the outer surface of the return spring. The support bracket is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the side of the drinking trough.

[0009] Furthermore, a nested extrusion plate is installed inside the support frame, and the nested extrusion plate is fixedly installed inside the support frame. The sliding transmission rod is slidably installed inside the nested extrusion plate, and the end of the return spring abuts against the inner surface of the nested extrusion plate. An alarm switch is installed above the sliding transmission rod, and an alarm is installed above the alarm switch.

[0010] Furthermore, an abutment compression rod is installed inside the abutment recovery spring, and the lower end of the abutment compression rod is fixedly installed above the output baffle. A water supply pipe is installed below the water storage tank, and the water storage tank and the water supply pipe are internally connected. The upper opening of the water supply pipe is installed correspondingly to the upper opening of the hollow limit frame, and the transmission pipe is installed correspondingly to the hollow limit frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner surface of the first inner groove contacts the upper outer surface of the pressing rod to form a sliding structure, and a water level scale groove is installed on the back of the water tank. Moreover, the output baffle and the fixed support frame are integrated into one piece.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the output baffle is fixedly installed at the lower end of the contact retraction spring, and the diameter of the output baffle is larger than the diameter of the lower opening of the transmission pipe. Moreover, the outer surface of the output baffle contacts the inner surface of the hollow limiting frame to form a sliding structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper end of the reset spring contacts the lower surface of the nested compression plate to form an elastic structure, and the alarm switch is connected to the inside of the alarm.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the automatic water supply device for large-scale cattle farming needs to replenish water, the contact squeezing rod is pulled upward along the inside of the transmission pipe, so that the contact squeezing rod passes through the fixed support frame and drives the fixed output baffle. The movement of the output baffle connects the upper end of the water supply pipe and allows water to flow out through the hollow limit frame. Furthermore, the contact recovery spring will reset the output baffle again when the contact ends, thus achieving automatic water source cutoff.

[0015] Furthermore, after the water source is completely consumed, the cow's tongue will come into contact with the rotating abutment rod located at the bottom of the drinking trough. After the left end of the rotating abutment rod is abutted, the right end will be lifted and come into contact with the sliding transmission rod. The lower part of the sliding transmission rod will be pushed up and slide upward until it contacts the alarm switch. As the alarm switch is abutted, the alarm device connected to it will be activated and start to alert the user.

[0016] Furthermore, an inlet pipe installed behind the water tank and connected to its interior will be in constant contact with the water supply, ensuring that the water tank remains full of water. Moreover, the water consumption inside the tank can be observed through the water level scale to determine the amount of water replenishment. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic water supply device for large-scale cattle farming, comprising a water storage tank 1, a water inlet pipe 2, and a water level scale groove 19. A water inlet pipe 2 is installed on the back of the water storage tank 1, and the water storage tank 1 and the water inlet pipe 2 are internally connected. A transmission pipe 4 is installed inside the water storage tank 1, and an elastic sliding mechanism for internally connecting the water supply pipe 3 is installed inside the transmission pipe 4. The upper end of the transmission pipe 4 is conical, and a first inner groove 5 is opened at the upper end of the transmission pipe 4. An abutment compression rod 6 is installed inside the transmission pipe 4, and the abutment compression rod 6 slides along the internal trajectory of the first inner groove 5. A hollow limit frame 18 is installed at the lower end of the transmission pipe 4, and an output baffle 14 is installed inside the hollow limit frame 18. An abutment recovery spring 16 is installed above the output baffle 14, and the upper end of the abutment recovery spring 16 is installed on the inner surface of the transmission pipe 4. A drinking trough 7 is installed at the other end of the water supply pipe 3, and an elastic transmission mechanism for opening the alarm 15 is installed on the back of the drinking trough 7.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 4The technical solution shown addresses the problem of overly complex and inconvenient installation of existing water source isolation designs by disclosing the following: A retaining spring 16 has a retaining compression rod 6 installed inside it, with the lower end of the retaining compression rod 6 fixedly installed above the output baffle 14. A water supply pipe 3 is installed below the water storage tank 1, and the water storage tank 1 and the water supply pipe 3 are internally connected. The upper opening of the water supply pipe 3 corresponds to the upper opening of the hollow limiting frame 18. Furthermore, the transmission pipe 4 and the hollow limiting frame 18 are connected... For corresponding installation, the inner surface of the first inner groove 5 contacts the upper outer surface of the pressing rod 6 to form a sliding structure, and a water level scale groove 19 is installed on the back of the water storage tank 1. Moreover, the output baffle 14 and the fixed support frame 17 are integrated into one piece. The upper surface of the output baffle 14 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the pressing and retracting spring 16, and the diameter of the output baffle 14 is larger than the lower opening diameter of the transmission pipe 4. Furthermore, the outer surface of the output baffle 14 contacts the inner surface of the hollow limit frame 18 to form a sliding structure.

[0027] When water needs to be replenished to the drinking trough 7, the abutment rod 6 is pressed downwards along the transmission pipe 4 fixedly installed inside the water storage tank 1. The abutment rod 6 slides upwards along the upper opening of the transmission pipe 4, maintaining a vertical sliding motion along the first inner groove 5 opened on the upper outer surface of the transmission pipe 4. The upward sliding of the abutment rod 6 causes the lower end of the abutment rod 6 to move the output baffle 14, which is in contact with each other at the bottom, upwards simultaneously. As the output baffle 14 is pushed upwards, it also causes the abutment retraction spring 16 fixedly installed on the upper surface to retract inwards, thus... The upper opening of the water supply pipe 3 is opened, and the output baffle 14 slides upward along the interior of the hollow limit frame 18 due to the resistance of the pressure rod 6. This opens the upper opening of the water supply pipe 3, which is connected to the interior of the water storage tank 1, and it is no longer obstructed by the output baffle 14. When the pressure rod 6 stops pulling the output baffle 14 upward, the pressure recovery spring 16 will release its elastic potential energy to push the output baffle 14 out again to complete the obstruction. Moreover, the amount of water delivered at one time can be compared with the water level scale groove 19 installed on the back of the water storage tank 1 for better control of the water volume.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5The technical solution shown addresses the problem of failing to provide timely alerts when the water supply is running low. It discloses an elastic transmission mechanism comprising a rotating abutment rod 8, rotatably mounted inside the side of the water tank 7. A sliding transmission rod 9 is mounted above the rotating abutment rod 8, and a return spring 10 is mounted on the outer surface of the sliding transmission rod 9. The return spring 10 is nested within the outer surface of the sliding transmission rod 9, and a support bracket 11 is mounted on the outer surface of the return spring 10 and fixedly mounted on the side of the water tank 7. On the other hand, a nested extrusion plate 12 is installed inside the support frame 11 and is fixedly installed inside the support frame 11. A sliding transmission rod 9 is slidably installed inside the nested extrusion plate 12, and the end of the return spring 10 abuts against the inner surface of the nested extrusion plate 12. An alarm switch 13 is installed above the sliding transmission rod 9, and an alarm 15 is installed above the alarm switch 13. The upper end of the return spring 10 contacts the lower surface of the nested extrusion plate 12 to form an elastic structure, and the alarm switch 13 and the alarm 15 are internally connected to each other.

[0029] When the cow has almost finished drinking the water, its tongue will touch the rotating abutment rod 8, which is rotatably installed inside the side of the water trough 7. Since the rotating abutment rod 8 is rotatably installed inside the side of the water trough 7, when the cow's tongue touches the left and right sides of the rotating abutment rod 8, the right end of the rotating abutment rod 8 will be lifted up. The rising of the rotating abutment rod 8 will contact the sliding transmission rod 9. The bottom end of the sliding transmission rod 9 will be lifted up and slide through the nested compression plate 12 fixed inside the support frame 11. The upward movement of the sliding transmission rod 9 will drive the return spring 10, which is nested and fixed on the outside, to move synchronously. When the return spring 10 moves upward, the upper end of the return spring 10 will contact the nested compression plate 12. The diameter of the nested compression plate 12 is smaller than that of the return spring 10, so the return spring 10 will be contracted by the contact during the upward movement. After the sliding transmission rod 9 passes through the nested compression plate 12, it will continue to slide and contact the alarm switch 13. As the alarm switch 13 is activated, the alarm 15 connected to it will be activated and generate an alarm.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
