Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a drinking water system for livestock. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of raising livestock, when providing water to livestock, large cubic water troughs are generally used, either manually or by water pipes. These troughs are installed within the livestock's activity area. With the help of the water troughs, livestock can ingest enough water after eating, thereby promoting food digestion and nutrient absorption, improving and enhancing the livestock's digestive function and internal circulation system, helping dairy cows maintain good gastrointestinal function and obtain sufficient nutrition, and playing a positive role in the development of the livestock industry.

[0003] Previous intelligent drinking water devices for livestock could not control the water temperature, and the stagnant water flow led to the accumulation of impurities, affecting water quality and potentially impacting livestock health. To address this technical problem, existing technology CN215736355U describes an intelligent drinking water device for sheep farming. This device involves adding drinking water to a water supply component, where a temperature control component heats the water to prevent sheep from drinking cold water in winter, thus protecting their health. The water supply component then adds the warm water to the drinking trough, and a circulation component collects and filters excess water from the trough before returning it to the water supply component. This prevents impurities from accumulating in the drinking trough, ensures the flow of drinking water, and prevents water pollution.

[0004] However, there are also some technical problems in its use. For example, when the device is in use, livestock often cannot drink all the water in the gap between the water trough and the water tank. This will result in drinking water residue in the gap between the water trough and the water tank after the livestock have finished drinking or stopped drinking. At this time, since the livestock have finished drinking or stopped drinking, the staff will often close the one-way valve and the water pump to stop injecting water into the gap between the water trough and the water tank. In addition, there is no shielding device in the gap between the water trough and the water tank, which may cause the drinking water in the gap between the water trough and the water tank to be contaminated after the livestock have finished drinking or stopped drinking. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a livestock drinking water system that allows workers to easily cover the drinking water in the gap between the water trough and the water tank, thus preventing the water in the device from being contaminated when the livestock are not drinking.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a livestock drinking water system is provided, including a drinking trough and a water tank installed in the drinking trough. An outlet located within the drinking trough is opened on the side wall of the water tank facing the drinking trough. A one-way valve is fixedly installed inside the outlet. A through groove extending circumferentially is opened on the outer side wall of the water tank. A plurality of first pressure plates, distributed circumferentially and hinged to the bottom of the through groove, are placed on the top of the drinking trough. A plurality of second pressure plates, distributed circumferentially and hinged to the bottom of the through groove, are arranged on the side of the first pressure plates away from the drinking trough. The plurality of second pressure plates and the plurality of first pressure plates are staggered. The second pressure plates press against the top of the first pressure plates. A magnetic ring plate is slidably arranged at the bottom of the through groove, positioned above the second pressure plates. A connecting rod inclined towards the water tank is hinged to the top of both the first and second pressure plates. The end of the connecting rod away from the drinking trough is hinged to the magnetic ring plate.

[0007] In use, this invention involves a drinking trough and a water tank installed within it. The water tank has an outlet on its side wall facing the drinking trough, with a one-way valve fixedly installed inside. A circumferentially continuous groove is formed on the outer wall of the water tank. Several first pressure plates, distributed circumferentially and hinged to the bottom of the groove, are placed on top of the drinking trough. Several second pressure plates, distributed circumferentially and hinged to the bottom of the groove, are located on the side of the first pressure plates away from the drinking trough. The second pressure plates are staggered with the first pressure plates, with the second pressure plates pressing against the first pressure plates. A magnetic ring plate is slidably mounted on the top of the plate and the bottom of the channel, positioned above the second pressure plate. Both the first and second pressure plates have connecting rods hinged to their tops, tilted towards the water tank. The end of the connecting rod furthest from the drinking trough is hinged to the magnetic ring plate. In use, by opening the one-way valve, water from the water tank enters the gap between the drinking trough and the water tank through the outlet. Then, the one-way valve is closed. Afterward, by controlling the magnetic ring plate to move upward within the channel, the connecting rod moves with the magnetic ring plate and rotates on it, thereby driving the first... The first and second pressure plates rotate towards the water tank at the bottom of the channel and screw into the channel, so that the first pressure plate is no longer pressing on the top of the water trough. This prevents the first and second pressure plates from obstructing the gap between the water trough and the water tank, making it easier for livestock to drink from the water in the gap. During the livestock's drinking process, the magnetic ring plate will be attracted and fixed to the water tank, preventing the first and second pressure plates from moving downwards in the channel under the action of gravity via the connecting rod, causing the first pressure plate to press back onto the top of the water trough. After the livestock finish drinking, or when the livestock... After the livestock stops drinking, the magnetic ring plate moves downwards within the channel, causing the connecting rod to move and rotate on the magnetic ring plate. This causes the connecting rod to rotate the first and second pressure plates at the bottom of the channel away from the water tank, allowing them to unscrew out of the channel. The first pressure plate then presses back onto the top of the drinking trough, thus sealing the gap between the drinking trough and the water tank. This allows staff to easily block drinking water from entering the gap between the drinking trough and the water tank, preventing contamination of the water in the device when the livestock are not drinking.

[0008] Preferably, the water tank has an inlet at the top, and a water purification device adapted to the inlet is fixedly installed inside the water tank. By having an inlet at the top of the water tank and a water purification device adapted to the inlet fixedly installed inside, the inlet and the purification device not only make it convenient for workers to add drinking water into the water tank, but also filter the drinking water and improve water quality.

[0009] Preferably, the drinking trough has a water collection chamber, and a through hole is provided on the side wall of the drinking trough facing the water tank, located above the water outlet and communicating with the water collection chamber. A water pump and a water outlet pipe communicating with the water collection chamber are fixedly installed on the side wall of the drinking trough away from the vertical side. The water outlet pipe is connected to the input end of the water pump, and the output end of the water pump is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe, which is connected to a water purification device. The device features a water collection chamber within the drinking trough. A through-hole, located above the water outlet and connected to the water collection chamber, is located on the side wall of the drinking trough facing the water tank. A water pump and an outlet pipe, connected to the water collection chamber, are fixedly installed on the side wall of the drinking trough away from the vertical direction. The outlet pipe is connected to the input end of the water pump, and an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump. The inlet pipe is connected to the water purification device. When in use, water from the drinking trough enters the water collection chamber through the through-hole, keeping the water flowing and preventing impurities from accumulating and affecting water quality. The water in the collection chamber is then pumped back into the water purification device via the outlet and inlet pipes, filtered, and then enters the water tank.

[0010] Preferably, a temperature sensor and a heating wire are fixedly installed inside the water tank, and the temperature sensor and the heating wire are electrically connected. By fixing the temperature sensor and the heating wire inside the water tank and electrically connecting them, the water temperature in the water tank can be detected. When the water temperature in the tank does not reach the set temperature, the temperature sensor sends an electrical signal to the heating wire to turn on the heating wire and heat the water in the tank. When the water temperature in the tank reaches the set temperature, the temperature sensor sends an electrical signal to the heating wire again to turn off the heating wire and stop heating the water in the tank, thus maintaining a constant water temperature in the tank.

[0011] Preferably, a motor for vertically moving the magnetic ring plate is installed within the through slot. By installing a motor within the through slot to vertically move the magnetic ring plate, the operator can easily control the vertical movement of the magnetic ring plate within the through slot.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a drinking trough and a water tank installed in the drinking trough, an outlet located inside the drinking trough is opened on the side wall of the water tank facing the drinking trough, and a one-way valve is fixedly installed in the outlet. A through groove running circumferentially is opened on the outer side wall of the water tank. Several first pressure plates are placed on the top of the drinking trough, distributed circumferentially around the water tank and hinged to the bottom of the through groove. Several second pressure plates are arranged circumferentially around the water tank and hinged to the bottom of the through groove on the side of the first pressure plates away from the drinking trough. The several second pressure plates are staggered with the several first pressure plates, and the second pressure plates press against the first pressure plates. A magnetic ring plate is slidably mounted on the top of the plate and the bottom of the channel, positioned above the second pressure plate. Both the first and second pressure plates have connecting rods hinged to their tops, tilted towards the water tank. The end of the connecting rod furthest from the drinking trough is hinged to the magnetic ring plate. In use, by opening the one-way valve, water from the water tank enters the gap between the drinking trough and the water tank through the outlet. Then, the one-way valve is closed. Afterward, by controlling the magnetic ring plate to move upward within the channel, the connecting rod moves with the magnetic ring plate and rotates on it, thereby driving the first... The first and second pressure plates rotate towards the water tank at the bottom of the channel and screw into the channel, so that the first pressure plate is no longer pressing on the top of the water trough. This prevents the first and second pressure plates from obstructing the gap between the water trough and the water tank, making it easier for livestock to drink from the water in the gap. During the livestock's drinking process, the magnetic ring plate will be attracted and fixed to the water tank, preventing the first and second pressure plates from moving downwards in the channel under the action of gravity via the connecting rod, causing the first pressure plate to press back onto the top of the water trough. After the livestock finish drinking, or when the livestock... After the livestock stops drinking, the magnetic ring plate moves downwards within the channel, causing the connecting rod to move and rotate on the magnetic ring plate. This causes the connecting rod to rotate the first and second pressure plates at the bottom of the channel away from the water tank, allowing them to unscrew out of the channel. The first pressure plate then presses back onto the top of the drinking trough, thus sealing the gap between the drinking trough and the water tank. This allows staff to easily block drinking water from entering the gap between the drinking trough and the water tank, preventing contamination of the water in the device when the livestock are not drinking.

[0018] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0019] like Figures 1-3 The livestock drinking water system of this utility model includes a drinking trough 9 and a water tank 5 installed inside the drinking trough 9. The water tank 5 has an outlet 18 located inside the drinking trough 9 on its side wall facing the drinking trough 9. A one-way valve 16 is fixedly installed inside the outlet 18. A through groove 10 extending circumferentially is formed on the outer side wall of the water tank 5. Several first pressure plates 8 are placed on the top of the drinking trough 9, distributed circumferentially around the water tank 5 and hinged to the bottom of the through groove 10. The first pressure plates 8 are located away from the drinking trough 9. A plurality of second pressure plates 4 are provided on one side of the water tank 9, which are distributed around the water tank 5 and hinged to the bottom of the through groove 10. The plurality of second pressure plates 4 are staggered with the plurality of first pressure plates 8. The second pressure plates 4 press on the top of the first pressure plates 8. A magnetic ring plate 2 is slidably provided at the bottom of the through groove 10, located above the second pressure plates 4. The tops of the first pressure plates 8 and the second pressure plates 4 are both hinged with connecting rods 3 that are inclined toward the water tank 5. The end of the connecting rod 3 away from the drinking water tank 9 is hinged to the magnetic ring plate 2.

[0020] By providing an inlet 6 at the top of the water tank 5 and installing a water purification device 13 that is compatible with the inlet 6 inside the water tank 5, the inlet 6 and the water purification device 13 not only make it convenient for staff to add drinking water into the water tank 5 through the inlet 6, but also filter the drinking water and improve the water quality. A water collection chamber 17 is provided in the drinking trough 9. A through hole 19 is provided on the side wall of the drinking trough 9 facing the water tank 5, located above the water outlet 18 and communicating with the water collection chamber 17. A water pump 11 and a water outlet pipe 12 communicating with the water collection chamber 17 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the drinking trough 9 away from the vertical side. The water outlet pipe 12 is connected to the input end of the water pump 11, and the output end of the water pump 11 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 7, which is connected to the water purification device 13. When the device is in use, the water in the drinking trough 9 enters the water collection chamber 17 in the drinking trough 9 through the through hole 19, which can keep the water in the drinking trough 9 flowing and prevent impurities in the drinking trough 9 from accumulating and affecting the water quality. After that, the water in the water collection chamber 17 is pumped back into the water purification device 13 by the water pump 11 through the water outlet pipe 12 and the water inlet pipe 7, and enters the water tank 5 after filtration. A temperature sensor 14 and a heating wire 15 are fixedly installed inside the water tank 5. The temperature sensor 14 and the heating wire 15 are electrically connected. The temperature sensor 14 and the heating wire 15 can detect the water temperature in the water tank 5. When the water temperature in the water tank 5 does not reach the set temperature, the temperature sensor 14 will send an electrical signal to the heating wire 15 to turn on the heating wire 15 and heat the water in the water tank 5. When the water temperature in the water tank 5 reaches the set temperature, the temperature sensor 14 will send an electrical signal to the heating wire 15 again to turn off the heating wire 15 and stop heating the water in the water tank 5, thus maintaining a constant water temperature in the water tank 5. A motor 1 is installed in the through groove 10 to move the magnetic ring plate 2 vertically. The motor 1 allows the operator to easily control the vertical movement of the magnetic ring plate 2 within the through groove 10.

[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 1-3The method of using this utility model is as follows: First, the operator pours water into the water tank 5 through the inlet 6, and the water in the inlet 6 is filtered by the water purification device 13 before entering the water tank 5. Then, the temperature sensor 14 and the heating wire 15 are used to detect the water temperature in the water tank 5. When the water temperature in the water tank 5 does not reach the set temperature, the temperature sensor 14 will send an electrical signal to the heating wire 15 to turn on the heating wire 15 to heat the water in the water tank 5. When the water temperature in the water tank 5 reaches the set temperature, the temperature sensor 14 will send an electrical signal to the heating wire 15 again. The signal turns off heating wire 15, ceasing to heat the water in water tank 5, thus maintaining a constant temperature. Then, by opening one-way valve 16, water from water tank 5 enters the gap between drinking trough 9 and water tank 5 through outlet 18. Next, motor 1 is controlled to move magnetic ring plate 2 upwards within through groove 10, causing connecting rod 3 to move with magnetic ring plate 2 and rotate on it. This causes connecting rod 3 to drive the first pressure plate 8 and the second pressure plate 4 to rotate towards water tank 5 at the bottom of through groove 10 and screw into through groove 10. Within the passage 10, the first pressure plate 8 is no longer pressing on the top of the water trough 9, and the first pressure plate 8 and the second pressure plate 4 no longer obstruct the gap between the water trough 9 and the water tank 5. This facilitates livestock drinking from the water in the gap between the water trough 9 and the water tank 5. After the livestock have finished drinking or have stopped drinking, the magnetic ring plate 2 is moved downwards within the passage 10 by the control motor 1. This causes the connecting rod 3 to move with the magnetic ring plate 2 and rotate on the magnetic ring plate 2. As a result, the connecting rod 3 drives the first pressure plate 8 and the second pressure plate 4 to move away from the water at the bottom of the passage 10. The box 5 rotates in the direction of rotation and rotates out of the through groove 10, so that the first pressure plate 8 presses down on the top of the drinking trough 9 again, and the first pressure plate 8 and the second pressure plate 4 cover the gap between the drinking trough 9 and the water tank 5 again. During the livestock drinking process, the water in the drinking trough 9 enters the water collection chamber 17 in the drinking trough 9 through the through hole 19, which can keep the water in the drinking trough 9 flowing and prevent impurities from accumulating in the drinking trough 9 and affecting the water quality. After that, the water in the water collection chamber 17 will be pumped back into the water purification device 13 by the water pump 11 through the water outlet pipe 12 and the water inlet pipe 7, and enter the water tank 5 after filtration.
