Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic drinking water devices, and in particular to an automatic drinking water device for raising beef cattle. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic drinking water devices for beef cattle are equipment that provides a continuous supply of clean drinking water to the herd, automatically replenishing water to ensure an adequate water source.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202420302609.3 discloses an automatic drinking water device for calves. The automatic drinking water device is supported in the cattle pen by support legs at both ends. When drinking water enters the automatic drinking water device through the water inlet pipe, the motor drives the rotating shaft inserted at the bottom to start rotating. The rotating shaft drives the heating tube on the connecting plate inserted on the rotating shaft to start rotating. The heating tube is equipped with a heating wire. The heating tube starts to circulate and heat the drinking water in the automatic drinking water device through the heating wire to prevent the drinking water in the automatic drinking water device from being too cold.

[0004] However, when beef cattle drink water, their mouths contain foreign objects due to chewing feed and hay. These objects are easily carried into the water trough. The existing drinking equipment is difficult to clean, so it is difficult to keep the water trough clean after long-term use. This may lead to bacterial growth and make the cattle sick. In addition, the existing drinking equipment lacks partitions between multiple water troughs, which may cause multiple cattle to gather in one water trough, making them crowded together and potentially causing safety accidents. Therefore, we propose an automatic drinking device for raising beef cattle. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic drinking water device for raising beef cattle.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic drinking water device for raising beef cattle includes a base, a cleaning component connected to the upper end of the base, a water supply component connected to the upper end of the cleaning component, and a partition component connected to the outside of the cleaning component.

[0008] The cleaning assembly includes a bracket fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. The bracket is symmetrically distributed left and right. A linear motor guide rail is fixedly fitted to the left end of the right side of the bracket. A linear motor actuator is slidably connected to the left side of the linear motor guide rail. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the left end of the linear motor actuator. A connecting plate is rotatably connected to the output end of the drive motor. Multiple drinking troughs are fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting plate. A linear motor guide rail is arranged above the drinking trough. A linear motor actuator is slidably connected to the lower end of the linear motor guide rail. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the linear motor actuator. A linear motor guide rail is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. A linear motor actuator is slidably connected to the lower end of the linear motor guide rail. A connecting column is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting column. A scraper is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting column. The scraper is adapted to the drinking trough.

[0009] By setting up a cleaning component, when cleaning the drinking trough, drive motor two drives linear motor guide rail three and scraper to rotate, so that the long side of the scraper is parallel to the drinking trough. Linear motor actuator two drives the scraper to move left and right, and linear motor actuator one drives the drinking trough to move upward, allowing the scraper to enter one of the drinking troughs. Then, linear motor actuator one drives the scraper to move back and forth to scrape off the dirt attached to the inner wall of the drinking trough. Then, linear motor actuator one drives the drinking trough to move downward, and linear motor actuator two continues to drive the scraper to move left and right to clean the next drinking trough. In addition, drive motor one can also drive the connecting plate and the drinking trough to rotate, so that the drinking trough can be turned upside down after cleaning, making it easy to drain the water in the drinking trough and add clean water again.

[0010] The partition assembly includes multiple barrier plates, which are fixedly connected to the front end of the drinking trough. The barrier plates are arranged at equal intervals, and multiple reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the outer ends of the barrier plates. The reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the drinking trough.

[0011] By setting up partition components, the barrier plate can separate the various water troughs, preventing multiple cattle from fighting over the same water trough and causing safety accidents. The reinforcing ribs can strengthen the support of the barrier plate and improve its stability.

[0012] Furthermore, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drinking trough, and a drain valve is fixedly connected to the outside of the drain pipe. A guide seat is fixedly fitted to the right end of the left side bracket, and a guide block is slidably connected to the right end of the guide seat. The guide block is rotatably connected to the connecting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the water supply assembly includes a water tank, which is fixedly connected to a bracket. The linear motor guide rail is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water tank. A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper end of the water tank. Multiple water outlet pipes are fixedly connected to the front end of the water tank, and the water outlet pipes correspond to the drinking trough.

[0014] Furthermore, a water level sensor is fixedly connected inside the drinking trough, and a solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the outside of the water outlet pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, a solar panel is fixedly connected to the upper end of the water tank, and a battery box is fixedly connected to the outside of the bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, an electric heating plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank, and a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank, with the detection end of the temperature sensor extending into the interior of the water tank.

[0017] Furthermore, a temperature controller is fixedly connected to the front end of the battery box, and a PLC controller is fixedly connected to the front end of the battery box.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. By setting up cleaning components, when cleaning the drinking trough, drive motor 2 drives linear motor guide rail 3 and scraper to rotate, so that the long side of the scraper is parallel to the drinking trough. Linear motor moving base 2 drives the scraper to move left and right, and linear motor moving base 1 drives the drinking trough to move upward, so that the scraper enters one of the drinking troughs. Then, linear motor moving base 1 drives the scraper to move back and forth to scrape off the dirt attached to the inner wall of the drinking trough. Then, linear motor moving base 1 drives the drinking trough to move downward, and linear motor moving base 2 continues to drive the scraper to move left and right to clean the next drinking trough. In addition, drive motor 1 can also drive the connecting plate and drinking trough to rotate, so that the drinking trough can be flipped over after cleaning. This allows the drinking trough to be inverted to drain the water in the drinking trough and add clean water again.

[0020] 2. By setting up partition components, the barrier plate can block the various water troughs, preventing multiple cattle from fighting over the same water trough and causing safety accidents. The reinforcing ribs can strengthen the support of the barrier plate and improve its stability. Attached Figure Description
