[0002] Sheep are a common type of livestock, divided into two main categories: sheep (Ovis aries) and goats (Capra hircus). They are raised by humans worldwide, primarily for the production of meat, wool, goat milk and related products, and play an important role in certain cultures.
[0003] In sheep farming, it is necessary to provide sufficient feed and drinking water. In winter, directly supplying tap water or other icy water may cause sheep to get sick. Existing water supply devices usually heat the water directly with electric heating rods. However, this method of directly adding electric heating rods results in relatively high temperatures, which can easily cause scalding if sheep come into direct contact with the heating rods while drinking. Therefore, we propose an automatic sheep watering device. Utility Model Content

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic drinking water device for sheep, including a water tank 1, a support frame 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank 1, multiple sets of electric heating rods 3 inside the water tank 1, a blocking mechanism 4 inside the water tank 1 to prevent sheep from directly contacting the electric heating rods 3, a water outlet mechanism 5 for discharging water on one side of the water tank 1, and a water replenishment mechanism 6 for water level detection inside the water tank 1. The water replenishment mechanism 6 is electrically connected to the blocking frame 7.
[0019] The electric heating rod 3 can heat the drinking water inside the water tank 1. The blocking mechanism 4 can prevent the sheep from directly contacting the electric heating rod 3 and getting burned. The water replenishment mechanism 6 can transmit the water replenishment signal to the water outlet mechanism 5 in time when the drinking water level drops. The water outlet mechanism 5 replenishes the water tank 1 in time. The water outlet mechanism 5 is rotatable, which makes it easy to remove and clean the blocking mechanism 4.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The blocking mechanism 4 includes a blocking frame 7, a fixing plate 8, a second limiting rod 21, and a through hole 22. Both sides of the blocking frame 7 are fixedly installed with a set of fixing plates 8. The top of the water tank 1 is fixedly installed with two sets of second limiting rods 21. Multiple sets of through holes 22 are opened through the blocking frame 7.
[0021] The blocking frame 7 and the fixing plate 8 can be inserted into the outside of the second limiting rod 21. Then, the multiple through holes 22 opened on the blocking frame 7 can facilitate the extension of drinking water inside the water tank 1 to the blocking frame 7.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water outlet mechanism 5 includes a fixing plate 9, a water outlet pipe 10, a control valve 11, a rotating seat 12, and a water outlet faucet 13. The water outlet pipe 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 1 via the fixing plate 9. The control valve 11 is provided on the water outlet pipe 10. The top of the control valve 11 is rotatably connected to the water outlet faucet 13 via the rotating seat 12.
[0023] When water needs to be replenished, the water replenishment mechanism 6 releases a water replenishment signal, causing the control valve 11 to open. Then, external drinking water can be discharged into the water tank 1 through the water outlet pipe 10 and the water outlet faucet 13. The water outlet pipe 10 and the water outlet faucet 13 are connected by a rotating seat 12. This arrangement makes it easy to rotate the water outlet faucet 13 to the outside of the water tank 1, making it easy to remove and clean the blocking mechanism 4.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water replenishment mechanism 6 includes a limiting plate 14, a first limiting rod 15, a foam board 16, a connecting column 17, a contact plate 18, and a sensor 20. Two sets of limiting plates 14 are fixedly installed inside the water tank 1. The first limiting rod 15 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 14. The foam board 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the first limiting rod 15. The sensor 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 1 through a mounting base 19. The contact plate 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the foam board 16 through two sets of connecting columns 17.
[0025] When there is sufficient drinking water, the foam board 16 floats on the surface of the drinking water, and the contact plate 18 contacts the sensor 20. At this time, a signal indicating that there is sufficient drinking water can be released. When the drinking water level drops, the foam board 16 moves down with it. When the foam board 16 moves down, it can be limited by the limit plate 14 and the first limit rod 15. Then the contact plate 18 separates from the sensor 20, and a water replenishment signal can be released, causing the control valve 11 to open and water to be replenished into the water tank 1 through the water outlet pipe 10 and the water faucet 13.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water tank 1, support frame 2, baffle frame 7 and water faucet 13 are all made of stainless steel. The stainless steel parts can prevent corrosion and rust from contaminating the drinking water.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a heat insulation layer made of glass wool material. The heat insulation layer made of glass wool material can insulate the bottom of the water tank 1 and prevent heat loss from being too fast.
[0028] In use, the electric heating rod 3 heats the drinking water inside the water tank 1. The blocking mechanism 4 prevents the sheep from directly contacting the heating rod 3 and causing burns. The water replenishment mechanism 6 transmits a water replenishment signal to the water outlet mechanism 5 when the drinking water level drops, replenishing the water tank 1. The water outlet mechanism 5 is rotatable, allowing for easy removal and cleaning of the blocking mechanism 4. The blocking frame 7 and fixing plate 8 can be inserted into the outside of the second limit rod 21. Multiple through holes 22 on the blocking frame 7 allow drinking water from inside the water tank 1 to extend onto the blocking frame 7. When water replenishment is needed, the water replenishment mechanism 6 releases a water replenishment signal, opening the control valve 11, allowing external drinking water to flow in. Water can be discharged into the water tank 1 through the water outlet pipe 10 and the water faucet 13. The water outlet pipe 10 and the water faucet 13 are connected by a rotating seat 12. This arrangement allows the water faucet 13 to be rotated to the outside of the water tank 1, making it easy to remove and clean the blocking mechanism 4. When there is enough drinking water, the foam board 16 floats on the surface of the drinking water, and the contact plate 18 contacts the sensor 20. At this time, a signal indicating that there is enough drinking water can be released. When the drinking water level drops, the foam board 16 moves down with it. When the foam board 16 moves down, it can be limited by the limit plate 14 and the first limit rod 15. Then the contact plate 18 disengages from the sensor 20, and a water replenishment signal can be released, causing the control valve 11 to open and water to be replenished into the water tank 1 through the water outlet pipe 10 and the water faucet 13.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
