[0004] However, this sheep pen watering device has the following disadvantages:

[0005] The water basins cannot be filled with water automatically, and the need for manual water filling greatly increases the workload of workers.

[0006] In winter, the water in the drinking troughs may freeze, affecting the sheep's ability to drink and replenish water. There is a lack of structures to heat the water in the drinking troughs to keep it in a liquid state. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a sheep pen water basin with automatic water replenishment function that is highly practical, easy to operate, and has a simple structure. This solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to automatically add water to the water basin and the lack of a structure to heat the water inside the water basin to maintain its liquid state.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a sheep pen water basin with automatic water replenishment function, comprising a water basin, a water level component provided on the side of the water basin, a cavity opened inside the water basin, an electric heating plate sleeved inside the cavity, and a control structure fixedly connected to one side of the water basin.

[0009] The water level assembly includes a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the side of the water basin, a water level detector fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe, and a water inlet that is connected to the water basin on the side of the connecting pipe.

[0010] Optionally, a sleeve hole is provided on one side of the water basin, and a water inlet pipe is sleeved inside the sleeve hole. One end of the water inlet pipe is connected to a solenoid valve, and one end of the solenoid valve is sleeved with an external pipe. A water level detector is electrically connected to the surface of the solenoid valve.

[0011] Optionally, the control structure includes a device box fixedly connected to the other side of the water basin, a thermostat is fitted inside the device box, an electric heating plate is electrically connected to the surface of the thermostat, and heat dissipation holes for heat dissipation are arranged in a ring array on the side of the device box.

[0012] Optionally, an installation block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water basin, a temperature sensor is sleeved inside the installation block, and a temperature controller is electrically connected to the surface of the temperature sensor.

[0013] Optionally, the inside of the water basin is fitted with a screen for screening impurities, and the two ends of the screen are fixedly connected with overlapping plates in an axially symmetrical manner, the overlapping plates being attached to the top surface of the water basin.

[0014] Optionally, a placement tray is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the basin, and the bottom surface of the placement tray is provided with raised texture for anti-slip purposes.

[0015] This utility model provides a sheep pen water basin with automatic water replenishment function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This sheep pen water basin with automatic water replenishment function, through the setting of water level component and solenoid valve, clean water inside the basin enters the internal connecting pipe through the water inlet, causing the water level detector to float. When the water level drops and becomes too low, the water level detector is triggered, which controls the solenoid valve to open, allowing external water to enter the basin through the external connecting pipe and the water inlet pipe. After the water level rises, the water level detector is triggered to close, the solenoid valve closes, and no more water enters, thus achieving convenient and fully automatic water replenishment inside the basin, reducing the workload of workers.

[0017] 2. This sheep pen water basin with automatic water replenishment function, through the setting of the heating plate and control structure, when the temperature sensor detects that the water temperature is too low, it controls the heating plate to start working through the thermostat. The heat generated is transferred to the inside of the water basin to heat the water and prevent it from freezing. When the water temperature is suitable, the temperature sensor will control the heating plate to stop working through the controller to maintain the liquid state of the water. This achieves the effect of preventing the water temperature from being too low and condensing, which would affect the sheep's drinking, and at the same time, preventing the water temperature from being too high and causing scalding to the sheep.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sheep pen water basin with automatic water replenishment function, including a water basin 1, a water level component 2 provided on the side of the water basin 1, a cavity opened inside the water basin 1, an electric heating plate 3 sleeved inside the cavity, and a control structure 4 fixedly connected to one side of the water basin 1.

[0025] Please see Figure 4 A sleeve hole is provided on one side of the water basin 1. A water inlet pipe 5 is sleeved inside the sleeve hole. A solenoid valve 6 is connected to one end of the water inlet pipe 5. An external pipe 7 is sleeved to one end of the solenoid valve 6. A water level detector 22 is electrically connected to the surface of the solenoid valve 6. When the solenoid valve 6 is opened, external water enters the water basin 1 through the external pipe 7 and the water inlet pipe 5. After the water level rises, the water level detector 22 is triggered to close, and the solenoid valve 6 closes, stopping the water from entering and facilitating the addition of water to the water basin 1.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 The inside of the water basin 1 is fitted with a screen 10 for screening impurities. The two ends of the screen 10 are fixedly connected with a plate 11 in an axially symmetrical manner, and the plate 11 overlaps the top surface of the water basin 1. After the debris falls into the water basin 1, the debris inside can be quickly cleaned by picking up the screen 10. Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 2The control structure 4 includes a device box 41 fixedly connected to the other side of the water basin 1. A thermostat 42 is sleeved inside the device box 41. An electric heating plate 3 is electrically connected to the surface of the thermostat 42. Heat dissipation holes for heat dissipation are opened in a ring array on the side of the device box 41. An installation block 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water basin 1. A temperature sensor 9 is sleeved inside the installation block 8. The thermostat 42 is electrically connected to the surface of the temperature sensor 9.

[0028] When the temperature sensor 9 detects that the water temperature is too low, it controls the heating plate 3 to start working through the thermostat 42. The heat generated is transferred to the inside of the water basin 1 to heat the water and prevent it from freezing. When the water temperature is suitable, the temperature sensor 9 will control the heating plate 3 to stop working through the thermostat 42 to maintain the liquid state of the water. This achieves the effect of preventing the water temperature from being too low and freezing, which would affect the sheep's drinking, and at the same time, preventing the water temperature from being too high and causing scalding to the sheep. Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 3 The water level assembly 2 includes a connecting pipe 21 fixedly connected to the side of the water basin 1. A water level detector 22 is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe 21. An inlet that is connected to the water basin 1 is opened on the side of the connecting pipe 21. A sleeve hole is opened on one side of the water basin 1. An inlet pipe 5 is sleeved inside the sleeve hole. A solenoid valve 6 is connected through one end of the inlet pipe 5. An outer pipe 7 is sleeved on one end of the solenoid valve 6. The water level detector 22 is electrically connected to the surface of the solenoid valve 6.

[0030] Clean water inside the basin 1 enters the connecting pipe 21 through the inlet, causing the water level detector 22 to float. When the water level drops and becomes too low, the water level detector 22 is triggered, which controls the solenoid valve 6 to open, allowing external water to enter the basin 1 through the external pipe 7 and the inlet pipe 5. After the water level rises, the water level detector 22 is triggered to close, the solenoid valve 6 closes, and no more water enters, thus achieving convenient and fully automatic water filling of the basin 1 and reducing the workload of workers.

[0031] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0032] First, clean water inside the basin 1 enters the connecting pipe 21 through the inlet, causing the water level detector 22 to float. When the water level drops and becomes too low, the water level detector 22 is triggered, which controls the solenoid valve 6 to open, allowing external water to enter the basin 1 through the external pipe 7 and the inlet pipe 5. After the water level rises, the water level detector 22 is triggered to close, the solenoid valve 6 closes, and no more water enters. Then, when the temperature sensor 9 detects that the water temperature is too low, it controls the heating plate 3 to start working through the thermostat 42. The heat generated is transferred to the inside of the basin 1 to heat the clean water and prevent it from freezing. Finally, when the clean water temperature is suitable, the temperature sensor 9 controls the heating plate 3 to stop working through the thermostat 42 to maintain the liquid state of the clean water.
