Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically to an integrated feeding and drinking water device for livestock breeding. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional livestock farming, feeding and watering equipment is usually set up separately, which takes up a lot of space and is inconvenient to manage. It also lacks automatic water and feed replenishment functions, requiring farmers to monitor water and feed levels and replenish them promptly. Therefore, to facilitate livestock farming, a device is needed that combines feeding and watering functions with automatic replenishment capabilities.
[0003] Existing utility model patent ZL202320779701.4 discloses a double-layer poultry feeding and watering device, including a vertically arranged feeder with a feed storage chamber and a water storage chamber inside. A feeding chamber is located below the feed storage chamber, and a discharge cylinder connected to the feed storage chamber is installed inside the feeding chamber. The lower end of the discharge cylinder is connected to the feeding chamber through a discharge port. A discharge port opening and closing mechanism is provided inside the discharge cylinder. Several sampling points are evenly distributed on the side wall of the feeding chamber. The feeding and watering device features a ring-shaped shell surrounding the lower end of the feeding and watering chamber. A water trough is formed between the inner wall of the ring-shaped shell and the outer wall of the feeder. The water trough is connected to the watering chamber through an outlet. Several water inlets are evenly distributed on the side wall of the ring-shaped shell. This double-layer poultry feeding and watering device integrates feeding and watering, and uses a built-in feeding chamber and water trough to solve the problem of easy contamination and deterioration of feed and drinking water, thus ensuring the effectiveness of poultry pecking and drinking.

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, an integrated feeding and drinking water device for livestock farming includes a support base 1, on which a water trough 2 and a feed trough 5 are mounted. It also includes a water storage tank 3, a feed tank 7, a first controller 4, and a second controller 8. The water storage tank 3 includes an inlet pipe 303, with the inlet pipe 303 located at its upper end. The lower end of the water storage tank 3 has an outlet pipe 301 extending into the water trough 2, and a solenoid valve 302 is mounted on the outlet pipe 301. A first weight sensor 201 is located at the lower end of the water trough 2, and a second weight sensor 501 and a motor 704 are electrically connected to the second controller 8. The first controller 4 uses a central control unit (CPU) to implement a process control algorithm (PID). This allows the solenoid valve 302 to be controlled according to the pre-set maximum and minimum weight values in the programmable process control algorithm. By setting the first weight sensor 201, the weight of the water tank 2 can be detected in real time, and the actual weight is fed back to the first controller 4 to determine the water level inside the water tank 2. When the weight of the water tank 2 is lower than the minimum value, the solenoid valve 302 can be opened by the controller to add water to the water tank 2. When the weight reaches the maximum value, the solenoid valve 302 can be closed by the first controller 4 to achieve automatic water addition.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the feed tank 7 has a funnel-shaped feeding port 707 at its lower end for feeding the trough 5, and also includes a guide plate 6. The guide plate 6 is located below the funnel-shaped feeding port 707 and its outlet extends into the trough 5. A plug 705 is elastically abutted against the lower end of the funnel-shaped feeding port 707. The plug 705 includes a first spring 706. One side of the plug 705 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the funnel-shaped feeding port 707, and the other side is elastically connected to the side of the funnel-shaped feeding port 707 through the first spring 706. A conveying screw 703 is rotatably installed in the feed tank 7, extending into the funnel-shaped feeding port 707. The conveying screw 703 is connected to a motor 704. A second weight sensor 501 is located at the lower end of the trough 5. The second weight sensor 501, the second controller 8, and the motor 704 are electrically connected in sequence. The second controller 8 operates on the same principle as the first controller 4. It controls the motor 704 by using the weight data fed back in real time by the second weight sensor 501. The motor 704 controls the rotation of the conveying screw 703, which drives the feed to be discharged. The discharged feed can be discharged through the pressure plug 705, which opens the plug and causes the feed to fall down. When it is no longer necessary to continue conveying feed, the plug 705 will automatically abut against the lower end of the funnel-shaped discharge port 707 by the first spring 706 to prevent the feed from flowing out automatically. The spring used for the plug 705 was selected with appropriate elasticity after multiple tests.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the feed tank 7 also includes a top cover 701. The top cover 701 is detachably installed on the upper end of the feed tank 7. The motor 704 is mounted on the top cover 701. The output shaft of the motor 704 extends through the top cover 701 and into the feed tank 7, where a conveying screw 703 is installed. A rotating cover 702 is rotatably mounted on the top cover 701, and the rotating cover 702 does not interfere with the motor 704. By setting the top cover 701 and the rotating cover 702, it is convenient to disassemble the upper end of the feed tank 7. When feed needs to be added, it can be added by opening the rotating cover 702, making the operation simple.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the system also includes a pedal 9, a first lever 10, a second lever 11, and a cover plate 12. The lowest end of the first lever 10 and the lowest end of the second lever 11 are rotatably connected. A pedal 9 is provided on the support base 1 in front of the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5. The side of the pedal 9 closest to the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5 is rotatably connected to the highest end of the first lever 10 and can be elastically pressed down. The other side is rotatably mounted on the support base 1. The pedal 9 includes a movable column 901 and a second spring 902. The bottom of the elastically pressable end of the pedal 9 is rotatably mounted with the movable column 901, and the second spring 902 is fitted on the movable column 901. The lower end of the movable column 901 is elastically inserted into the support base 1 through the second spring 902. The cover plate 12 is rotatably mounted on one side of the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5. One end of the cover plate 12 can be opened and closed to cover the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the highest end of the second lever 11. By setting up pedal 9, when livestock stand on it to drink water or eat, their own weight will cause pedal 9 to press down. Then, as pedal 9 presses down, the highest end of the first lever 10 will press down, which in turn will cause the lowest end of the second lever 11 to lift up through the other end of the first lever 10. Then, the highest end of the second lever 11 will cause the end of the cover plate 12 away from the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 to press down, so that the cover plate 12 covering the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 will open, making it convenient for livestock to drink water and eat. When the livestock leave, the cover 12 automatically closes under its own weight, protecting the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5. The support base 1 has an L-shaped structure, with the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 arranged side by side on the horizontal surface of the support base 1. The vertical sides of the support base 1 are respectively provided with a first mounting sleeve 101 and a second mounting sleeve 102 corresponding to the positions of the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5. The water tank 3 is fixedly installed through the first mounting sleeve 101, and the feed tank 7 is installed through the second mounting sleeve 102. The pedal 9 is rotatably installed on the horizontal surface of the support base 1 on the side away from the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5. The first lever 10 and the second lever 11 have been selected with appropriate arm lengths through multiple experiments to ensure that the pedal 9 can open the cover 12 through the first lever 10 and the second lever 11.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, an integrated feeding and drinking water device for livestock farming includes a support base 1, on which a water trough 2 and a feed trough 5 are mounted.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the feed tank 7 has a funnel-shaped feeding port 707 at its lower end for feeding the trough 5, and also includes a guide plate 6. The guide plate 6 is located below the funnel-shaped feeding port 707 and its outlet extends into the trough 5. A plug 705 is elastically abutted against the lower end of the funnel-shaped feeding port 707. The plug 705 includes a first spring 706. One side of the plug 705 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the funnel-shaped feeding port 707, and the other side is elastically connected to the side of the funnel-shaped feeding port 707 through the first spring 706. A conveying screw 703 is rotatably installed in the feed tank 7, extending into the funnel-shaped feeding port 707. The conveying screw 703 is connected to a motor 704. A second weight sensor 501 is located at the lower end of the trough 5. The second weight sensor 501, the second controller 8, and the motor 704 are electrically connected in sequence.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the feed tank 7 also includes a top cover 701. The top cover 701 is detachably installed on the upper end of the feed tank 7. The motor 704 is installed on the top cover 701. The output shaft of the motor 704 extends through the top cover 701 and into the feed tank 7, where a conveying screw 703 is provided. A rotating cover 702 is rotatably installed on the top cover 701. The rotating cover 702 does not interfere with the motor 704.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the system also includes a pedal 9, a first lever 10, a second lever 11, and a cover plate 12. The lowest end of the first lever 10 and the lowest end of the second lever 11 are rotatably connected. A pedal 9 is provided on the support base 1 in front of the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5. The side of the pedal 9 closest to the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5 is rotatably connected to the highest end of the first lever 10 and can be elastically pressed down. The other side is rotatably mounted on the support base 1. The pedal 9 includes a movable column 901 and a second spring 902. The bottom of the elastically pressable end of the pedal 9 is rotatably mounted with the movable column 901, and the second spring 902 is fitted on the movable column 901. The lower end of the movable column 901 is elastically inserted into the support base 1 through the second spring 902. The cover plate 12 is rotatably mounted on one side of the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5. One end of the cover plate 12 can be opened and closed to cover the water tank 2 and the feeding trough 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the highest end of the second lever 11. The support base 1 has an L-shaped structure. A water trough 2 and a feeding trough 5 are arranged side by side on the horizontal surface of the support base 1. A first mounting sleeve 101 and a second mounting sleeve 102 are respectively provided on the vertical side of the support base 1 corresponding to the positions of the water trough 2 and the feeding trough 5. The water storage tank 3 is fixedly installed through the first mounting sleeve 101, and the feed tank 7 is installed through the second mounting sleeve 102. The pedal 9 is rotatably installed on the horizontal surface of the support base 1 on the side away from the water trough 2 and the feeding trough 5.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When livestock stand on it to drink water or eat, their own weight causes the pedal 9 to press down. Then, the pressing down of the pedal 9 causes the highest end of the first lever 10 to press down, which in turn causes the lowest end of the second lever 11 to rise through the other end of the first lever 10. Then, the highest end of the second lever 11 causes the end of the cover plate 12 away from the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 to press down, so that the cover plate 12 covering the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 opens, making it convenient for livestock to drink water and eat. When the livestock leave, the cover 12 can automatically close under its own weight, protecting the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5. At the same time, when the water trough is empty, the first weight sensor 201 can detect the weight of the water trough 2 in real time and feed the actual weight back to the first controller 4 to determine the water level inside the water trough 2. When the weight of the water trough 2 is lower than the minimum value, the controller can open the solenoid valve 302 to add water to the water trough 2. When the weight reaches the maximum value, the first controller 4 can close the solenoid valve 302. The principle of automatic feed addition to the feed trough 5 is the same as the principle of automatic water addition to the water trough 2.
[0037] In summary, this utility model converts the storage volume inside the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 into weight data by setting a first weight sensor 201 and a second weight sensor 501 below the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 respectively. The outlets of the water tank 3 and the feed tank 7 are opened by the first controller 4 and the second controller 8 respectively, realizing automatic identification and addition. The feed trough 2 and the feed trough 5 are not in a constant state of connection, thus avoiding material contamination. By setting a pedal 9 and linking the pedal 9 and the cover plate 12 through the first lever 10 and the second lever 11, the cover plate 12 will automatically open when the livestock need to drink or eat and close when not needed, thus protecting the inside of the water trough 2 and the feed trough 5 from contamination.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
