Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a drinking trough that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals or wild animals through artificial feeding and breeding, enabling them to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, gluten, silk, and medicinal materials. Unlike self-sufficient livestock farming, the main characteristics of animal husbandry are centralization, large-scale production, and profit-oriented production. During the breeding process, drinking water is generally provided to the animals through water troughs.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219500194U discloses a water trough that is easy to clean. This invention solves the technical problem that while water troughs can be cleaned using a water trough cleaning device, the current system requires a dual-electric push rod and a drive motor, resulting in a complex structure and increased operating costs for livestock farming. The device includes a livestock water trough and an arc-shaped scraper. The bottom of the water trough is fixedly connected to a base plate via three support plates. Both sides of the top of the water trough have flanges, and each flange has a limiting strip at its bottom. A sliding groove connects each flange to the limiting strip, and a slider is slidably connected to each groove. The device uses a slot at the bottom of the arc-shaped scraper to limit the flexible cleaning strip, preventing it from falling off. The arc-shaped scraper can shape the flexible cleaning strip. By horizontally reciprocating the arc-shaped scraper with a control panel, the flexible cleaning strip cleans the inner wall of the livestock water trough.

[0004] However, in the prior art, when cleaning a drinking water tank, a movable cleaning scraper is usually used to scrape off the impurities on the inner wall of the drinking water tank. However, the scraped-off impurities will remain suspended in the drinking water, and the scraper cannot retrieve the suspended impurities in the water, which is inconvenient to use. A solution is proposed to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[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] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model includes a drinking trough 1, with an installation plate 11 in the middle of the drinking trough 1. A motor 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the installation plate 11. A rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13 through the middle of the installation plate 11. An installation frame 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 8. Multiple positioning rods 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the installation frame 9. A fixing plate 15 is provided on one side of the installation frame 9. A retrieval net 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 15. The outer surface of the positioning rods 14 is engaged with one side of the fixing plate 15. A flexible scraper 22 is engaged at the lower end of the installation frame 9. Support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting plate 11. The lower ends of the four support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the base plate 3. The upper end of one base plate 3 is rotatably connected to a screw rod 5. The upper ends of the other three base plates 3 are fixedly connected to sliding rods 4. Connecting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the drinking trough 1. The middle part of one connecting block 12 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw rod 5. The middle parts of the other three connecting blocks 12 are slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the three sliding rods 4 respectively. The upper end of the screw rod 5 is fixedly connected to a handle 7. The lower ends of the four connecting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to two reinforcing ribs 6 on both sides.

[0034] In this embodiment, when cleaning the inside of the drinking water tank 1, the handle 7 can be turned to rotate the lead screw 5. The rotating lead screw 5 controls the drinking water tank 1 to move upward, so that the soft scraper 22 can fit against the inner wall of the drinking water tank 1. Then, the motor 13 can be started, and the motor 13 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate. The rotating rod 8 can drive the mounting frame 9 to move inside the drinking water tank 1, thereby causing the soft scraper 22 to scrape against the inner wall of the drinking water tank 1, scraping off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the drinking water tank 1. At the same time, the scooping net 16 on one side will also move inside the drinking water tank 1 with the movement of the mounting frame 9, and after the movement, it will scoop up the impurities in the drinking water through the fine mesh. After cleaning is completed, the handle 7 can be turned to adjust the drinking water tank 1 back to the bottom. In this way, the inside of the drinking water tank 1 can be cleaned at the same time, and the impurities scraped off in the drinking water can be scooped up, avoiding the impurities from being suspended in the drinking water and causing secondary pollution.

[0035] Example 2, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting block 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 9, and a connecting bracket 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting block 17. A limiting rod 24 is slidably connected inside the connecting bracket 19. One end of the limiting rod 24 is inserted into the middle of the limiting block 17, and another end of the limiting rod 24 is inserted into the middle of the upper end of the fixing plate 15. A fixing ring 23 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting rod 24. A first spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring 23, and the other end of the first spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side inside the connecting bracket 19. One end of the limiting rod 24 is fixedly connected to... The pull block 20 and the mounting bracket 9 have a movable groove 10 on one side. A slot plate 21 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 10. One side of the slot plate 21 is engaged with one end of the pull block 20. Movable rods 26 are fixedly connected to both sides of the other side of the slot plate 21. Two springs 25 are fixedly connected to both sides of one side of the slot plate 21. One end of each of the two springs 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable groove 10. A pull ring 27 is provided on one side of the slot plate 21. The two ends of the pull ring 27 are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two movable rods 26.

[0036] In this embodiment, when disassembling and cleaning the salvage net 16, the pulling block 20 can be pulled to move the limiting rod 24, which in turn moves the fixing ring 23 and compresses the first spring 18. At this time, the end of the limiting rod 24 will be pulled out from the limiting hole at the upper end of the fixing plate 15. When the pulling block 20 moves, the buckle on one side of the pulling block 20 will move on the side of the slot plate 21. The buckle on the side of the pulling block 20 is sloping. When it moves, the slope will push the slot plate 21 into the interior of the movable groove 10 and compress the second spring 25. After the buckle moves into another toothed groove of the slot plate 21, the compressed second spring 25 will push... The movable slot plate 21 resets to limit the pull block 20. After the pull block 20 has moved and been limited, the fixed plate 15 can be pulled outward to remove the fishing net 16. After cleaning, the fixed plate 15 is reinserted into the positioning rod 14 around its perimeter, and the pull ring 27 on the other side of the mounting bracket 9 is pulled to move the slot plate 21 and release the limitation on the pull block 20. At this time, the previously compressed spring 18 will reset and push the end of the limiting rod 24 to re-insert into the limiting hole at the upper end of the fixed plate 15. This method allows for quick disassembly and installation of the fishing net 16 during cleaning, greatly improving the efficiency of the cleaning work.

[0037] Working principle: When cleaning the inside of the water tank 1, the handle 7 can be turned, which drives the lead screw 5 to rotate. The rotating lead screw 5 controls the upward movement of the water tank 1, allowing the soft scraper 22 to adhere to the inner wall of the water tank 1. Then, the motor 13 can be started, driving the rotating rod 8 to rotate. The rotating rod 8 drives the mounting bracket 9 to move inside the water tank 1, thereby causing the soft scraper 22 to scrape against the inner wall of the water tank 1, removing impurities adhering to the inner wall. At the same time, the scooping on one side... Net 16 moves inside the water trough 1 as the mounting bracket 9 moves, and after moving, it uses the fine mesh to remove impurities from the drinking water. Once cleaning is complete, handle 7 can be turned to return the water trough 1 to the bottom. This method allows for cleaning of the water trough 1 while simultaneously removing impurities scraped from the drinking water, preventing impurities from suspending in the water and causing secondary pollution. When disassembling and cleaning the net 16, the pulling block 20 can be pulled to move the limiting rod 24, which in turn moves the fixing ring 23. When the first spring 18 is compressed, the end of the limiting rod 24 will be pulled out from the limiting hole at the upper end of the fixed plate 15. As the pulling block 20 moves, the latch on one side of the pulling block 20 will move to the side of the slot plate 21. The latch on the side of the pulling block 20 is sloping; during movement, the slope will push the slot plate 21 into the movable groove 10, compressing the second spring 25. After the latch moves into another toothed groove of the slot plate 21, the compressed second spring 25 will push the slot plate 21 to reset and limit the pulling block 20. Once the pulling block 20 has moved completely... After the fixed plate 15 is in place and the position is limited, the fishing net 16 can be removed by pulling the fixed plate 15 outward. After cleaning, the fixed plate 15 is reinserted into the positioning rod 14 around its perimeter, and the pull ring 27 on the other side of the mounting bracket 9 is pulled to move the slot plate 21 and release the limitation on the pull block 20. At this time, the previously compressed No. 1 spring 18 will reset and push the end of the limiting rod 24 to re-insert into the limiting hole at the upper end of the fixed plate 15. This method allows for quick disassembly and installation of the fishing net 16 during cleaning, greatly improving the efficiency of the cleaning work.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
