Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig waterers, and more specifically, to a water-controlling spiral structure. Background Technology

[0002] A swine nipple drinker, also known as a swine waterer or swine drinker, is an automatic water supply device specifically designed for pigs. This device is installed in the pigpen and connected to a water supply pipe, allowing pigs to drink directly. Its working principle is based on simple mechanical action, allowing pigs to trigger the water flow by nudging or biting with their snouts, thus obtaining water.

[0003] It mainly consists of a valve body, a movable valve stem, and an internal spring mechanism. When the pig uses its snout to nudge or bite the front end of the valve stem, it will push the internal spring mechanism, which will cause water to flow in from the water supply pipe and out through the pig's snout nozzle. Once the pig stops applying pressure, the built-in spring mechanism will reset and cut off the water flow from the water supply pipe, stopping the water flow.

[0004] However, this type of spring mechanism has the following drawbacks: when the spring mechanism is in use, the water jet volume is too large, which cannot provide pigs with a suitable water output. Moreover, if the water output is too large, it will cause water stress in pigs and waste water resources. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and to propose a water-controlling spiral structure.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A water-controlling spiral structure includes a housing and an end cap, a gasket, and a valve stem disposed within the housing;

[0008] It also includes a silicone spiral disposed within the housing, and the silicone spiral is positioned between the gasket and the valve stem to alter the water flow path.

[0009] Furthermore, the above solution includes a silicone column and a silicone spiral disposed outside the silicone column;

[0010] The silicone column has a cylindrical structure with an inlet at the top that connects to the silicone spiral and an outlet at the bottom that connects to the silicone spiral. This allows water to flow through the inlet and then move along the path of the silicone spiral to the outlet for discharge.

[0011] Furthermore, the silicone spiral in the above scheme has two layers.

[0012] Furthermore, the silicone spiral in the above scheme has three layers.

[0013] Furthermore, the above solution includes a silicone spiral with four layers.

[0014] Furthermore, the above-described solution includes an inner spiral connected to the silicone pillar and an outer spiral disposed outside the inner spiral.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above scheme, the inner spiral is made of soft silicone to provide elastic deformation, while the outer spiral is made of hard silicone to provide support.

[0016] Furthermore, the above solution also includes a sealing ring installed inside the housing, with the sealing ring positioned below the valve stem connector, to improve sealing performance during use and prevent leakage.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention replaces the traditional spring mechanism with a silicone spiral. The silicone spiral undergoes elastic deformation during use, enabling adaptive adjustment of water flow pressure. This solves the problems of easy corrosion and insensitive rigidity adjustment of metal spring mechanisms, while also offering the advantages of corrosion resistance, low noise, and long lifespan.

[0024] To provide a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this disclosure, the implementation of the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure. In the following technical description, for ease of explanation, several details are used to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments may still be implemented without these details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices may be simplified in their depiction to simplify the drawings.

[0025] In addition, the terms “set up,” “connect,” and “fix” should be interpreted broadly. For example, “connection” can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts.

[0026] For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure embodiment can be understood according to the specific circumstances. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. The utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0027] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a water-controlling spiral structure includes a housing 1 and an end cap 2, a gasket 3, and a valve stem 4 disposed within the housing 1. The aforementioned mounting structure is prior art, and therefore will not be described in detail here. The improvements of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] It also includes a silicone spiral 5 disposed inside the housing 1, and the silicone spiral 5 is located between the gasket 3 and the valve stem 4 to change the water flow path, squeeze the water flow, change the water flow speed, and thus slow down the water output.

[0029] In the specific implementation of this utility model, when a pig is thirsty, it will automatically nudge the valve stem 4, and then the valve stem 4 will shift. At the same time, the silicone spiral 5 will deform, and then water will flow into it and slowly flow out after being guided by the silicone spiral 5.

[0030] Specifically, regarding the structure of the silicone spiral 5 in the above scheme:

[0031] Specifically, refer to the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the silicone spiral 5 includes a silicone column 51 and a silicone spiral 52 disposed outside the silicone column 51.

[0032] The silicone column 51 has a cylindrical structure and an inlet 511 connected to the silicone spiral 52 is opened at its top, and an outlet 512 connected to the silicone spiral 52 is opened at its bottom, so that water flows in through the inlet 511 and moves along the path of the silicone spiral 52 to the outlet 512 for discharge.

[0033] Furthermore, regarding the specific structure of the silicone spiral 52:

[0034] In some embodiments, the silicone spiral 52 has two layers;

[0035] In some embodiments, the silicone spiral 52 has three layers;

[0036] In some embodiments, the silicone spiral 52 has four layers;

[0037] The number of silicone spirals 52 and the pitch between each layer of silicone spirals 52 will affect the water flow rate. Therefore, this utility model does not limit this, and the specific selection depends on the actual production needs.

[0038] In addition, to enhance the stepped control effect of the silicone spiral 52 on the water flow:

[0039] Therefore, refer to the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the silicone spiral 52 includes an inner spiral 521 connected to the silicone pillar 51 and an outer spiral 522 disposed outside the inner spiral 521.

[0040] Among them, the inner spiral 521 is made of soft silicone to provide elastic deformation, while the outer spiral 522 is made of hard silicone to provide support.

[0041] For the above scheme, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, a water-controlling spiral structure also includes a sealing ring 6 disposed inside the housing 1, and the sealing ring 6 is located below the valve stem 4 connector to improve the sealing performance during use and prevent water leakage.
