Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of livestock drinking water medication technology, and in particular to a livestock drinking water medication device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of animal husbandry, it is sometimes necessary to administer medication to livestock. Compared with injection, administering medication through drinking water is more convenient and is also a common method of feeding management and disease prevention in animal husbandry.

[0003] Currently, most drinking water dosing devices involve adding various medications (such as antibiotics and vitamins) into a dosing cylinder, stirring it to ensure the medications are fully dissolved in the water, and then adding it to a long water trough for livestock to drink.

[0004] However, long, narrow water troughs hold a large amount of water, which livestock cannot drink all at once, resulting in a significant amount of residual medication. This residual medication, exposed to the air for extended periods, may breed mosquitoes and bacteria, negatively impacting the livestock's drinking water health. Therefore, this application proposes a livestock drinking water medication dosing device. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a livestock drinking water dosing device that enables livestock to drink immediately upon contact with the water via a controller, pressure sensor, first solenoid valve, and second solenoid valve, avoiding prolonged exposure of the medicine to the air, reducing the possibility of mosquito and bacterial growth, and ensuring the health of livestock drinking water.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A livestock drinking water and medication dosing device includes a platform, a medication cartridge, a pedal, a water collection tank, and a controller. The platform has multiple drinking troughs. The bottom of the medication cartridge has a main water outlet pipe, which has multiple branch water outlet pipes. The number of branch water outlet pipes is equal to the number of drinking troughs, and each branch water outlet pipe extends into one of the drinking troughs. Each branch water outlet pipe is equipped with a first solenoid valve. The pedal is located in front of the platform and has multiple pressure sensors, each corresponding to one of the drinking troughs. The water collection tank... Located below the platform, the water collection tank is equipped with multiple water collection pipes, each of which is connected to the bottom of a number of drinking grooves. Each water collection pipe is equipped with a second solenoid valve. The first solenoid valve, the pressure sensor, and the second solenoid valve are all electrically connected to the controller. The controller is configured to: when the pressure sensor detects an increase in pressure, control the corresponding first solenoid valve to open; when the pressure sensor detects a decrease in pressure, control the first solenoid valve to close, and control the corresponding second solenoid valve to open for a period of time, and then control the second solenoid valve to close.

[0008] In use, when a livestock steps on a pressure sensor on the pedal, the pressure detected by the sensor increases. The controller then opens the first solenoid valve corresponding to that pressure sensor, allowing the medicine to flow from the outlet pipe into the corresponding drinking trough for the livestock to drink from, achieving "instant drinking." When the livestock finishes drinking and leaves the pressure sensor, the controller closes the first solenoid valve and opens the corresponding second solenoid valve, allowing any remaining medicine in the drinking trough to flow into the collection tank for collection.

[0009] Compared to existing technologies, this livestock drinking water dosing device uses a controller, pressure sensor, first solenoid valve, and second solenoid valve to enable livestock to drink immediately upon arrival, avoiding prolonged exposure of the medicine to the air, reducing the possibility of mosquito and bacteria growth, and ensuring the health of livestock drinking water.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, a reflux pump is further included, the inlet of which is connected to the bottom of the water collection tank, and the outlet of which is connected to the upper part of the cartridge.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, a first level gauge is provided in the water collection tank. Both the reflux pump and the first level gauge are electrically connected to the controller. When the first level gauge detects the liquid level, the controller controls the reflux pump to start.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the drinking groove is a hemispherical groove.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the water collection pipe is connected to the lowest point of the hemispherical groove.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the inlet of the water collection pipe is provided with a filter screen.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, a second level gauge is provided inside the cartridge, and the second level gauge is located near the bottom of the cartridge.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, a stirring motor is provided at the top of the medicine cartridge, the output shaft of the stirring motor extends into the medicine cartridge and is connected to a stirring shaft, and the stirring shaft is provided with multiple stirring blades.

Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the medicine cartridge used in the livestock drinking water dosing device provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the water collection tank used in a livestock drinking water dosing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the medicine cartridge used in the livestock drinking water dosing device provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0029] Embodiments of this application provide a livestock drinking water dosing device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a platform 100, a medicine cartridge 200, a pedal 300, a water collection tank 400, and a controller (not shown in the figure). The platform 100 is the component that forms the drinking groove 110, the medicine cartridge 200 is the component that holds the medicine, the pedal 300 is the component that mounts the pressure sensor 310, the water collection tank 400 is the component that collects the medicine, and the controller is the component that controls the electronic components.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the platform 100 is provided with multiple drinking troughs 110, which are spaced apart along the length of the platform 100. The drinking troughs 110 are not connected to each other and are independent of each other. Support legs are provided under the platform 100 to give the platform 100 a certain height, making it convenient for livestock to drink water.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the bottom of the medicine container 200 is equipped with a main water outlet 210, which has multiple branch water outlets 220. The medicine can flow from the medicine container 200 into the main water outlet 210 and then into the branch water outlets 220. The number of branch water outlets 220 is equal to the number of drinking troughs 110, and each branch water outlet 220 extends into one of the drinking troughs 110. Each branch water outlet 220 is equipped with a first solenoid valve 230. When a first solenoid valve 230 is opened, the corresponding branch water outlet 220 is opened, allowing the medicine to flow into the corresponding drinking trough 110. Generally, the top of the medicine container 200 also has a water inlet (not shown in the figure) and a medicine inlet (not shown in the figure), and is equipped with a corresponding cap to facilitate the addition of water and medicine to the medicine container 200 by the farmer.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the pedal 300 is located in front of the platform 100. The pedal 300 is equipped with multiple pressure sensors 310. When livestock come to drink water, they stand in front of the platform 100 and can step on the pressure sensors 310. The multiple pressure sensors 310 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple drinking grooves 110, and also correspond one-to-one with the multiple first solenoid valves 230.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water collection tank 400 is located below the platform 100. The water collection tank 400 has multiple water collection pipes 410, each connected to the bottom of a multiple drinking groove 110. Each water collection pipe 410 is equipped with a second solenoid valve 420. When a certain second solenoid valve 420 is opened, the corresponding water collection pipe 410 is opened, and the medicine in the corresponding drinking groove 110 can flow into the water collection pipe 410, and then into the water collection tank 400.

[0034] The first solenoid valve 230, pressure sensor 310, and second solenoid valve 420 are all electrically connected to the controller. When the pressure sensor 310 detects an increase in pressure, it controls the corresponding first solenoid valve 230 to open, opening the corresponding outlet branch pipe 220, allowing the medicine to flow into the corresponding drinking trough 110 for the livestock to drink. When the pressure sensor 310 detects a decrease in pressure, it controls the first solenoid valve 230 to close, preventing the medicine from flowing into the drinking trough 110. The controller controls the corresponding second solenoid valve 420 to open for a period of time, opening the water collection pipe 410, allowing the remaining small amount of medicine to flow into the water collection tank 400. The controller then controls the second solenoid valve 420 to close, shutting off the water collection pipe 410, facilitating drinking for the next livestock.

[0035] In use, when a livestock steps on one of the pressure sensors 310 on the pedal 300, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 310 increases. The controller then controls the first solenoid valve 230 corresponding to this pressure sensor 310 to open, allowing the medicine to enter the corresponding drinking trough 110 from the outlet branch pipe 220 for the livestock to drink from, achieving "instant drinking". When the livestock finishes drinking and leaves the pressure sensor 310, the controller controls the first solenoid valve 230 to close and controls the corresponding second solenoid valve 420 to open, so that the small amount of medicine remaining in the drinking trough 110 flows into the water collection tank 400 for collection.

[0036] Compared to existing technologies, this livestock drinking water dosing device enables livestock to drink immediately upon contact with the water via a controller, pressure sensor 310, first solenoid valve 230, and second solenoid valve 420. This avoids prolonged exposure of the medicine to the air, reduces the possibility of mosquito and bacterial growth, and ensures the health of the livestock's drinking water.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the livestock drinking water dosing device also includes a return pump 500. The inlet of the return pump 500 is connected to the bottom of the water collection tank 400, and the outlet of the return pump 500 is connected to the upper part of the medicine cartridge 200. When the return pump 500 is turned on, it can transfer the medicine in the water collection tank 400 to the medicine cartridge 200, thus transferring the medicine for continued use by the livestock.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first level gauge 430 is installed in the water collection tank 400. The first level gauge is set at the top of the water collection tank 400. Both the reflux pump 500 and the first level gauge 430 are electrically connected to the controller. When the first level gauge 430 detects the level, it means that the medicine in the water collection tank 400 is almost full and needs to be transferred in time. The controller controls the reflux pump 500 to start, thereby transferring the medicine into the medicine cartridge 200.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drinking trough 110 is a hemispherical trough. The hemispherical trough has no dead corners, which makes it convenient for livestock to drink water, and it is also convenient to clean the drinking trough 110.

[0040] In some embodiments, the water collection pipe 410 is connected to the lowest point of the hemispherical groove, which can essentially allow the remaining medicine in the drinking groove 110 to flow into the water collection tank 400, reducing medicine residue and loss.

[0041] In some embodiments, the inlet of the water collection pipe 410 is equipped with a filter screen, which can filter impurities, prevent impurities from entering the water collection tank 400, and also ensure the cleanliness of the returned medicine.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, a second level gauge 240 is installed inside the medicine cartridge 200, located near the bottom of the cartridge 200. When the second level gauge 240 detects a low level, it indicates that the liquid remaining in the medicine cartridge 200 is low, requiring timely addition of water and medication to ensure the livestock have access to drinking water. In this configuration, an alarm light can be installed on the medicine cartridge 200. When the second level gauge 240 detects a low level, the controller can activate the alarm light to remind the farmer to add water and medication as needed.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a stirring motor 250 is provided at the top of the medicine cylinder 200. The output shaft of the stirring motor 250 extends into the medicine cylinder 200 and is connected to a stirring shaft 260. Multiple stirring blades 270 are provided on the stirring shaft 260. The stirring motor 250 drives the stirring shaft 260 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring blades 270 to stir the water and medicine in the medicine cylinder 200, ensuring the medicine is fully dissolved and the medicine and water are evenly mixed. Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
