Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock water storage tank technology, and in particular to a water storage tank that is easy to clean and descale. Background Technology
[0002] Livestock water troughs are mainly used to store and provide drinking water, ensuring that livestock have access to sufficient water at all times. Water troughs can reduce the frequency of manual watering, save labor, and ensure a stable amount of water provided each time.
[0003] A search revealed a water storage tank (publication number CN219305706U) designed for easy cleaning and descaling. The tank includes a tank body and a filter scraper. The filter scraper is located on one side of the tank body, and scrapers are mounted on its three outer sidewalls. An electric push rod is mounted on the top of the filter scraper, and a hanging rod is mounted on the top of the electric push rod. A debris filtration tank is located on one outer sidewall of the tank body. This invention, by incorporating a gantry frame, cleaning scraper, scrapers, and debris filtration tank into a traditional water storage tank, enables automatic cleaning and filtration of debris within the tank. This reduces the residue of feed, silt, and other impurities, thereby reducing the proliferation of microorganisms in the tank and lowering the risk of diseases transmitted through cattle drinking water.

The bottom end of the toothed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting block 13. A groove is opened at the left end of the connecting frame 9. The size of the groove is equal to that of the toothed plate 12.
[0038] Specifically, the controller starts the first motor 5, which drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate. The rotating plate 6 simultaneously drives the fixed rod 7 to slide on the inner wall of the sliding frame 8, and moves the sliding frame 8 downward, as well as the connecting frame 9 and the cleaning blade 19 downward, so that the outer wall of the cleaning blade 19 touches the inner wall of the water storage tank shell 1. Then, the controller starts the second motor 10, which drives the gear 11 to rotate. The gear 11 drives the toothed plate 12, the connecting block 13, and the cleaning blade 19 on the outer wall to move to the left. The cleaning blade 19 scrapes away the dirt on the inner wall, and the dirt is blocked on the left side of the outer wall by the filter screen 20 and discharged through the drain valve 3.

The shape of the inner wall of the water storage tank outer shell 1 matches the cleaning blade 19. An observation window is provided on the right side of the inner wall of the water storage tank outer shell 1.
[0042] Specifically, when the water tank needs to be cleaned, the original water is drained through the drain valve 3, and clean water is added into the tank through the inlet valve 2. The remaining debris is also drained through the drain valve 3. At the same time, the cleaning blade 19 can be seen through the observation window as to whether it is in contact with the inner wall of the water tank shell 1.
[0043] Working principle: When the water storage tank needs cleaning, the existing water is drained through the drain valve 3, and clean water is added through the inlet valve 2. First, the controller starts the first motor 5, which drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate. The rotating plate 6 simultaneously drives the fixed rod 7 to slide on the inner wall of the sliding frame 8, and at the same time, it drives the sliding frame 8 to move downward, and drives the connecting frame 9 and the cleaning blade 19 to move downward, so that the outer wall of the cleaning blade 19 touches the inner wall of the water storage tank shell 1. Then, the controller starts the second motor 10, which drives the gear 1. 1. Rotate the gear 11, which drives the toothed plate 12 on the outer wall to move to the left. At the same time, the toothed plate 12 drives the connecting block 13 and the cleaning blade 19 to move to the left. The cleaning blade 19 scrapes away the dirt on the inner wall and blocks it on the left side of the outer wall through the filter screen 20. The dirt is then discharged through the drain valve 3, completing the cleaning. When it is necessary to clean and replace the cleaning blade 19 and the filter screen 20, first pull the connecting rod 14 forward. The connecting rod 14 drives the locking block 16 to be removed from the through hole, so that the connecting plate 17 can be disassembled and cleaned or replaced.
