Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, and in particular to a waterer for poultry farming. Background Technology
[0002] Poultry farming environments can be divided into outdoor and indoor settings. Besides providing feed regularly, a constant supply of drinking water is essential, necessitating the placement of water bottles in the farming area. However, existing water bottles are often simply placed on the ground, which takes up valuable space, especially in indoor poultry farming. Furthermore, uneaten water, if not cleaned promptly, can easily breed bacteria, harming the poultry's health.
[0003] A poultry waterer for chickens and ducks (publication number: CN 218889144U) is disclosed on the patent website, including a base, a recycling bin, a control mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The recycling bin is mounted on the base, with an insulated box mounted on top. A water outlet pipe is mounted on one side of the insulated box, and a drinking trough is located below the water outlet pipe. The drinking trough is connected to the recycling bin via the recycling pipe, and a control mechanism is located below the recycling pipe, connected to the recycling pipe via the transmission mechanism. When poultry moves onto the control mechanism, gravity presses down on it, causing the control mechanism to drive the transmission mechanism, closing the recycling pipe below the drinking trough. Water from the insulated box then flows into the drinking trough from the water outlet pipe. When the poultry leaves the control mechanism, the control mechanism and transmission mechanism return to their initial positions, the recycling pipe opens, and the remaining water in the drinking trough flows into the recycling bin, preventing the water in the drinking trough from freezing in cold weather and ensuring the poultry have access to running water at all times.
[0004] The above technology has the following drawbacks in use: 1. The water trough is controlled by a float, which is used for poultry drinking. Poultry drinking can easily damage the float, affecting its use and reducing its lifespan; 2. The return water is controlled by a pull rope, which is a fragile component requiring regular inspection and replacement, increasing workload. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a waterer for poultry farming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a poultry waterer, comprising a water tank, a water trough, and a control mechanism. The water tank consists of a heating water tank and a filtering water tank, with the heating water tank positioned above the filtering water tank. The water trough is located in the center of the front side of the water tank, and a support base is installed at the bottom of the front side of the water tank. Several faucets connected to the heating water tank are located above the water trough, and each faucet is equipped with an electronic valve. An overflow outlet is located on the upper inner side of the water trough, and this overflow outlet is connected to the filtering water tank via several overflow outlets. Several drain outlets are located at the bottom of the water trough, and a gate valve is installed at the bottom of each drain outlet. The gate valve connects to... The system includes a drain pipe that connects to the bottom of the filter tank. The outer end of the gate valve in the slide valve is connected to a drive plate, and a spring telescopic rod is installed between the drive plate and the tank. The control mechanism is mounted on a support base and consists of a control pedal and a control switch. The control pedal is mounted on the support base at an angle, and its lower end is hinged to the support base. A U-shaped frame is movably mounted at the upper end of the control pedal, and a protective net is connected between the U-shaped frame and the drive plate. The control switch is connected to the electronic valve in the faucet and is mounted in the middle of the support base. A control block that abuts against the control switch is installed at the bottom of the control pedal.
[0007] Preferably, a filter screen is installed in the middle of the water tank, and an activated carbon filter plate is provided above the filter screen. A water pump is installed at the rear of the water tank, with one end of the water pump connected to the bottom of the heating water tank and the other end connected to the top of the water tank.
[0008] Preferably, a first water level detector is installed at the top of the filtered water tank, and a second water level detector is installed at the bottom of the heated water tank.
[0009] Preferably, a guide roller is installed below the drinking trough, and a protective net is located between the drinking trough and the guide roller.
[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are:
[0011] 1. When poultry moves onto the control pedal, the pedal is pressed down, causing the control block to contact the control switch on the support base. The control switch then controls the electronic valve to open the faucet, allowing warm water from the heated water tank to flow into the drinking trough for the poultry to drink. When the poultry leaves the control pedal, the spring extension rod rebounds, pulling the control pedal upwards through the protective net. This separates the control block from the control switch, and the electronic valve then closes the faucet, stopping the water supply to the drinking trough. This automates the drinking process and is less prone to damage.
[0012] 2. The protective netting prevents poultry from moving under the water trough and getting injured. When the control pedal bears the weight of the poultry and moves downward, it pulls the protective netting down, which in turn moves the drive plate. The drive plate pulls the gate, causing the gate valve to close and allowing the water trough to store water. When the poultry drinking on the control pedal leaves the control pedal, the spring telescopic rod retracts and moves back, causing the drive plate to move back. This, in turn, moves the gate back, keeping the water trough in an open or closed position, thus recycling the water in the water trough into the filter tank and preventing it from freezing on the outside.
[0013] 3. When the faucet continuously fills the water tank with water, if too much water is added, it will be discharged from the overflow outlet and flow into the filter water tank through the overflow pipe, thus avoiding water waste.
[0014] 4. The water recovered in the water tank is filtered through a filter screen and an activated carbon filter plate, so that the filtered water is at the top. The filtered water is then pumped into the heating water tank to avoid water waste and to heat the water to ensure the water temperature is suitable for subsequent drinking by poultry.

[0025] like Figure 1-6In this embodiment, a poultry waterer includes a water tank 1, a drinking trough 2, and a control mechanism 3. The water tank 1 consists of a heating water tank 11 and a filtering water tank 12, with the heating water tank 11 positioned above the filtering water tank 12. The drinking trough 2 is located in the middle of the front side of the water tank 1, and a support base 4 is installed at the bottom of the front side of the water tank 1. Several faucets 21 connected to the heating water tank 11 are provided above the drinking trough 2, and electronic valves 211 are installed in the faucets 21. An overflow outlet 22 is provided on the upper inner side of the drinking trough 2, and the overflow outlet 22 is connected to the filtering water tank 12 through several overflow pipes 221. Several drain outlets 23 are provided at the bottom of the drinking trough 2, and a gate valve 24 is installed at the bottom of each drain outlet 23. The gate valve 24 is connected to a drain pipe 25. The drain pipe 25 is connected to the bottom side of the filter water tank 12. The outer end of the gate plate 241 in the slide valve 24 is connected to a drive plate 26. A spring telescopic rod 27 is installed between the drive plate 26 and the water tank 1. The control mechanism 3 is located on the support base 4 and consists of a control pedal 31 and a control switch 32. The control pedal 31 is installed on the support base 4 at an incline, and its lower end is hinged to the support base 4. A U-shaped frame 33 is movably installed at the high end of the control pedal 31, and a protective net 5 is connected between the U-shaped frame 33 and the drive plate 26. The control switch 32 is connected to the electronic valve 211 in the faucet 21, and the control switch 32 is installed in the middle of the support base 4. A control block 34 that abuts against the control switch 32 is installed at the bottom of the control pedal 31.
[0026] With the above technical solution, clean water is poured into the heating water tank 11 in the water tank 1 and heated and kept warm. When the poultry needs to drink, they move to the control pedal 31 in the control mechanism 3. The control pedal 31 moves downward under its weight, and the control block 34 abuts against the control switch 32, causing the electronic valve 211 in the faucet 21 to open. This allows the faucet 21 to deliver clean, warm water from the heating water tank 12 into the drinking trough 2. Simultaneously, as the control pedal 31 moves downward, the drive plate 26 moves through the U-shaped frame 33 and the protective net 5, causing the gate 241 to move within the slide valve 24. This closes the slide valve 24, allowing water to be stored in the drinking trough 2 for the poultry to drink. When the water in the drinking trough 2 is too full and reaches the overflow outlet 22, the water flows from the overflow outlet 22 into the overflow pipe 221 and then into the filter water tank 12, preventing water from overflowing and causing waste. After the poultry drinking from the control pedal 31 leaves the control pedal 31... Under the action of the spring telescopic rod 27, the drive plate 26 moves back, thereby driving the gate plate 241 to move within the slide valve 24, so that the slide valve 24 is in the open / closed state, and then the water in the drinking trough 2 flows from the drain outlet 23 into the drain pipe 25, and is then recycled to the filter water tank 12 in the water tank 1, preventing water from remaining in the drinking trough 2, thus avoiding water waste and the growth of bacteria in the drinking trough 2, which would affect the health of poultry. At the same time, it can also prevent the drinking trough 2 from freezing due to cold weather, which would affect its use. When the drive plate 26 moves back under the action of the spring telescopic rod 27, it simultaneously drives the protective net 5 to move. Through the movement of the protective net 5, the control pedal 31 moves upward in conjunction with the U-shaped frame 33, so that the control block 34 disengages from the control switch 32, and then controls the electronic valve 211 in the faucet 21, so that the faucet 211 stops filling the drinking trough 2 with water. The above technology realizes automated water filling and drainage.
[0027] Preferably, a filter screen 13 is installed in the middle of the filter water tank 12, and an activated carbon filter plate 14 is provided above the filter screen 13. A water pump 15 is installed on the rear side of the water tank 1, and one end of the water pump 15 is connected to the bottom of the heating water tank 11, and the other end is connected to the top of the filter water tank 12.
[0028] Through the above technical solution, the filter screen 13 is used to intercept and filter impurities in the recycled water, and then the activated carbon filter plate 14 adsorbs and removes odors and harmful substances in the water, so that the purified water is located at the top of the filter water tank 12. Then, the water pump 15 sends the purified water in the filter water tank 12 into the heating water tank 11, so that the water resources are recycled. When it is cold, the water is heated to ensure that the poultry can drink warm water and ensure the health of the poultry.
[0029] Preferably, a first water level detector 121 is installed at the top of the filter water tank 12, and a second water level detector 111 is installed at the bottom of the heating water tank 11.
[0030] Through the above technical solution, the first water level detector 121 is used to detect the purified water level in the filter water tank 12, so as to cooperate with the water pump 15 to send the filtered water into the heating water tank 11. The second water level detector 111 is used to detect the water level in the heating water tank 11, so as to cooperate with the first water level detector 121 and the water pump 15, and at the same time, it is convenient to remind the user to add purified water to the heating water tank 11.
[0031] Preferably, a guide roller 28 is installed below the water tank 2, and the protective net 5 is located between the water tank 2 and the guide roller 28.
[0032] Through the above technical solution, the guide roller 28 is set to facilitate the movement of the protective net 5 on it, and at the same time facilitate the adjustment of the moving direction of the gate 241, thereby ensuring the stability of the gate 241 in the slide valve 24 and the stability of the movement of the control pedal 31, thus ensuring the stability of automatic water supply and drainage.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate this utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in this utility model. Therefore, although this specification has described this utility model in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to this utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model; technologies not described in detail in this utility model are implemented using existing technologies.
