[0016] Preferably, the model numbers of the laser ranging sensor and the controller are OD2-L100 and PLCnextControl respectively.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:
[0018] 1. Through the design of the water storage tank, drinking ring, guide pipe, and water supply mechanism, before use, staff can adjust the water supply according to the pigeons' growth stage using the controller. Then, the water supply mechanism can be activated to introduce water stored in the storage tank into the drinking ring. The water introduced into the drinking ring causes the float in the water supply mechanism to rise in the guide pipe. The water supply mechanism can then judge the water level in the drinking ring based on the float's rising height. Once the water level in the drinking ring reaches the set value, the water supply mechanism can disconnect from the storage tank. The float, which has also risen in the guide pipe, will also block the guide pipe. Furthermore, as the water in the drinking ring is consumed... This system allows the floating disc to descend within the guide tube. Each descent of the disc is detected by the water supply mechanism, which sends the change in water level to the controller. Once a set time has elapsed and the water level has dropped to a set threshold, the controller restarts the water supply mechanism to supply water to the drinking ring. This allows staff to adjust the water supply according to the pigeons' growth stages, precisely matching their drinking needs at different stages. For example, during the brooding period, pigeons need more clean water to promote growth and development, so the controller can increase the water supply. During the molting period, their water requirements may be relatively lower, so the water supply can be appropriately reduced, which helps the pigeons grow healthily.
[0019] 2. Through the design of the motor, laser rangefinder, water inlet pipe, float plate, and U-shaped sealing tube, when water is injected into the drinking ring, the motor drives the second gear to mesh with the first gear, causing them to rotate. This, in turn, causes the first gear to rotate the U-shaped sealing tube on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe. This releases the U-shaped sealing tube from blocking the inlet of the water inlet pipe, allowing drinking water from the storage tank to enter the water inlet pipe through the inlet. The water inlet pipe then drains the drinking water from the storage tank into the drinking ring through the outlet at the other end. The water entering the drinking ring causes the float plate, which is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe, to rise within the guide tube. As the float plate rises, it reduces the distance between itself and the laser rangefinder, allowing the laser rangefinder to detect the water level in the drinking ring. Once the water level in the drinking ring reaches a set value, the laser rangefinder sends a signal to the controller, which then... The system controls a motor to drive a second gear to mesh with a first gear, causing the first gear to rotate and rotate a U-shaped sealing tube on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe to block the water inlet. A floating disc, also located inside a guide tube, also blocks the guide tube. As water in the drinking ring is consumed, the floating disc descends within the guide tube. Each descent is detected by a laser rangefinder, which sends the water level change to the controller. Once a set time has elapsed and the water level has dropped to a set threshold, the controller again controls the motor to rotate the U-shaped sealing tube on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe to release the blockage. This allows the water inlet pipe to supply water to the drinking ring again, thus achieving automatic water replenishment. This ensures the pigeons always have water to drink, and by precisely controlling the water supply, it avoids the water waste that can occur with traditional water supply methods due to over-watering, saving water resources and reducing breeding costs.

[0026] 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.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a large-scale intelligent drinking device for pigeon cages includes: a water storage tank 1 and a drinking ring 2. The inner ring of the drinking ring 2 is connected to four sets of guide pipes 202. The four sets of guide pipes 202 pass through the lower surface of the water storage tank 1 and are connected to it, so that the drinking ring 2 is suspended outside the water storage tank 1. A connecting ring 101 is fixedly installed inside the water storage tank 1. Four sets of water supply mechanisms 3 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting ring 101. The water supply mechanisms 3 are connected to the water storage tank 1 and the guide pipes 202, so that the water supply mechanisms 3 can introduce drinking water from the water storage tank 1 into the drinking ring 2.
[0029] A partition plate 201 is fixedly installed inside the drinking ring 2, thereby dividing the drinking ring 2 into four drinking troughs that are supplied with water by the water supply mechanism 3.
[0030] Through the design of the water storage tank 1, drinking ring 2, guide pipe 202, and water supply mechanism 3, before use, staff can adjust the water supply according to the pigeons' growth stage using a controller. Then, the water supply mechanism 3 can be activated to introduce water stored in the water storage tank 1 into the drinking ring 2. The water introduced into the drinking ring 2 will cause the float 304 in the water supply mechanism 3 to rise within the guide pipe 202. The water supply mechanism 3 can then determine the water level in the drinking ring 2 based on the height of the float 304. Once the water level in the drinking ring 2 reaches the set value, the water supply mechanism 3 can disconnect from the water storage tank 1. The float 304, which has risen within the guide pipe 202, will also block the guide pipe 202. Furthermore, the drinking ring... As water in the drinking ring 2 is consumed, the floating plate 304 floats down within the guide tube 202. Each descent of the floating plate 304 is detected by the water supply mechanism 3, which sends the change in water level to the controller. Once a set time has elapsed and the water level has dropped to a set threshold, the controller reopens the water supply mechanism 3 to supply water to the drinking ring 2. This allows staff to adjust the water supply according to the pigeons' growth stages, precisely matching their drinking needs at different stages. For example, during the brooding period, pigeons need more clean water to promote growth and development, so the water supply can be increased by the controller. During the molting period, their water needs may be relatively lower, so the water supply can be appropriately reduced, which helps the pigeons grow healthily.
[0031] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the water supply mechanism 3 includes a water inlet pipe 303, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting ring 101. One end of the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303 is provided with a water inlet hole 306, and the lower half of the water inlet pipe 303 is inserted into the guide pipe 202 of the drinking ring 2.
[0032] The other end of the water inlet pipe 303, which is located inside the guide pipe 202, has a water outlet 305.
[0033] A float 304 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303 located inside the guide pipe 202. The float 304 slides inside the guide pipe 202, thereby enabling the float 304 to seal and block the guide pipe 202.
[0034] The floating plate 304 is flush with the laser rangefinder 302, which is fixedly installed inside the connecting ring 101, so that the laser rangefinder 302 can detect the water level in the drinking ring 2 according to the floating height of the floating plate 304.
[0035] A U-shaped sealing tube 308 is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303, so that the U-shaped sealing tube 308 can seal the water inlet hole 306 opened on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303 by rotation.
[0036] A first gear 309 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the U-shaped sealing tube 308. The first gear 309 meshes with a second gear 307. The second gear 307 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the output shaft of the motor 301. The motor 301 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting ring 101 and the output shaft passes through to the lower surface of the connecting ring 101.
[0037] The motor 301 is controlled by the controller, and the signal input terminal of the controller is connected to the signal output terminal of the laser rangefinder 302.
[0038] The laser rangefinder sensor 302 and the controller are model numbers OD2-L100 and PLCnext Control, respectively.
[0039] Through the design of the motor 301, laser rangefinder 302, water inlet pipe 303, float 304, and U-shaped sealing tube 308, when water is injected into the drinking ring 2, the motor 301 drives the second gear 307 to mesh with the first gear 309 to rotate. This causes the first gear 309 to rotate the U-shaped sealing tube 308 on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303, thereby releasing the U-shaped sealing tube 308 from blocking the water inlet hole 306 of the water inlet pipe 303, allowing drinking water from the water storage tank 1 to enter the water inlet pipe 303 through the water inlet hole 306. This allows the water inlet pipe 303 to drain drinking water from the water storage tank 1 into the drinking ring 2 through the outlet hole 305 at the other end. The water introduced into the drinking ring 2 causes the float 304, which is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303, to float within the guide pipe 202. After the float 304 floats within the guide pipe 202, it reduces the distance between itself and the laser ranging sensor 302, thus enabling the laser ranging sensor 302 to detect the water level in the drinking ring 2. Once the water level in the drinking ring 2 reaches a set value, the laser ranging sensor 302 can then move towards the control... The controller sends a signal, which in turn controls the motor 301 to drive the second gear 307 to mesh with the first gear 309 and rotate. This causes the first gear 309 to rotate the U-shaped sealing tube 308 on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303, blocking the water inlet hole 306. The float 304, which floats within the guide pipe 202, also blocks the guide pipe 202. As water in the drinking ring 2 is consumed, the float 304 descends within the guide pipe 202. Each descent of the float 304 is detected by the laser rangefinder 302, which records the water level. The height change is sent to the controller. When the set time is reached and the water level drops to the set threshold, the controller can control the motor 301 to drive the U-shaped sealing tube 308 to rotate on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303 to release the blockage of the water inlet hole 306. This allows the water inlet pipe 303 to supply water to the drinking ring 2 again, thus realizing the automatic water replenishment function. This ensures that the pigeons have water to drink at any time. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the water supply, the waste of water resources caused by excessive water supply that may occur in traditional water supply methods is avoided. This saves water resources and reduces breeding costs.
[0040] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: Before use, the staff can adjust the water supply according to the growth stage of the pigeons using the controller. Then, the motor 301 can be started to drive the second gear 307 to mesh with the first gear 309 to rotate. This allows the first gear 309 to drive the U-shaped sealing tube 308 to rotate on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303, thereby releasing the blockage of the water inlet hole 306 of the water inlet pipe 303 by the U-shaped sealing tube 308, allowing the drinking water in the water storage tank 1 to flow freely. Water enters the water inlet pipe 303 through the inlet hole 306, and then the water inlet pipe 303 discharges drinking water from the water storage tank 1 into the drinking ring 2 through the outlet hole 305 at the other end. The water introduced into the drinking ring 2 causes the float 304, which is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303, to float in the guide pipe 202. After the float 304 floats in the guide pipe 202, the distance between it and the laser range sensor 302 is reduced, thereby enabling the laser range sensor 302 to detect the drinking ring 2. The water level is controlled until it reaches a set value. Once this is achieved, the laser rangefinder 302 sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the motor 301 to drive the second gear 307 to mesh with the first gear 309, causing the first gear 309 to rotate and drive the U-shaped sealing tube 308 to rotate on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303, thus blocking the water inlet hole 306. Simultaneously, the float 304 floating inside the guide pipe 202 also blocks the guide pipe 202. Meanwhile, the water level inside the drinking ring 2... As water is consumed, the float 304 floats down within the guide tube 202. Each descent of the float 304 is detected by the laser range sensor 302, which sends the change in water level to the controller. Once a set time has elapsed and the water level has dropped to a set threshold, the controller can then control the motor 301 to rotate the U-shaped sealing tube 308 on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 303 to release the blockage of the water inlet hole 306, allowing the water inlet pipe 303 to supply water to the drinking ring 2 again.
[0041] In summary, this allows staff to adjust the water supply according to the pigeons' growth stages, precisely matching their drinking needs at different stages. For example, during the brooding period, pigeons need more clean water to promote growth and development, so the water supply can be increased through the controller. During the molting period, their water needs may be relatively lower, so the water supply can be appropriately reduced, which helps the pigeons grow healthily.
