Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of duck egg farming, and in particular to a drinking water device for duck egg farming. Background Technology

[0002] Egg-laying duck farming is an important part of my country's animal husbandry, and water management is crucial to the health of the ducks, their egg production rate, and the overall profitability of the farming. There are various existing watering devices for egg-laying duck farming; however, since this application focuses on free-range farming, it only analyzes watering devices used in this scenario. These mainly include trough-type structures, which involve constructing rectangular troughs to store water for supply. Another method involves placing barrel-shaped communicating vessels in the farming area to ensure water supply.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned commonly used structures all have certain drawbacks. First, since the water trough structure is an open structure, ducks may enter it, which could lead to water pollution. Drinking this water could have an adverse effect on the health of the ducks.

[0004] To ensure that the barrel-shaped communicating vessel structure does not leak, it usually does not have an external water source and can only be added manually, which makes it inconvenient to use.

[0005] Furthermore, both of the above structures require regular manual cleaning of the water trough using brushes or similar tools. This is because when ducks drink, feed stuck to their beaks easily falls into the water, where bacteria multiply rapidly under suitable temperature conditions, negatively impacting the ducks' health. Therefore, to address these issues, this application provides a drinking water device for duck farming. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problem of water source contamination in existing duck drinking devices, this application provides a drinking device for duck farming.

[0007] This application provides a drinking water device for duck egg farming, including a circular water trough, a water inlet structure, a drainage structure at the bottom of the water trough, and a plurality of cleaning rods rotatably arranged inside the water trough. The cleaning rods are connected into a single structure, and a brush is provided on the lower end face of the cleaning rod. The brush is attached to the inner wall of the water trough to scrub the bottom wall of the water trough.

[0008] Several grids are evenly distributed between two adjacent cleaning rods, and the width between the grids is greater than the width of the duck's head but less than the width of its body.

[0009] By designing the water trough into a circular structure and rotating cleaning rods inside the circular trough, the brushes at the bottom of the cleaning rods clean the bottom wall of the trough as they rotate, preventing feed from settling and sticking together, thereby improving the quality of the water source. In addition, a grid is installed between the cleaning rods to prevent ducks from entering the water trough, further reducing the possibility of water source contamination.

[0010] Preferably, each of the cleaning rods is also provided with a water inlet pipe at its upper end. The water inlet pipe is connected to an external water source through an external pipe. The water inlet pipe has a through hole on the side facing the bottom wall of the water tank for draining water.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating seal is provided between the external pipe and the water supply pipe, with the top of the rotating seal connected to the external pipe and the bottom connected to the water supply pipe through several branch pipes.

[0012] Preferably, each of the cleaning rods has a roller rotatably connected to its outer wall via a pivot, and the outer wall of the roller is in contact with the upper edge of the water tank.

[0013] Preferably, each of the water supply pipes is fixed between the fastener and the cleaning rod.

[0014] Preferably, a mounting plate is provided at one end of the grille near the center of the cleaning rod assembly, and locking plates are provided on both sides of the mounting plate, which are locked onto the cleaning rod.

[0015] Preferably, several grids are evenly distributed on the same mounting plate.

[0016] Preferably, a receiving platform is coaxially arranged on the outer side of the water tank. The receiving platform is hollow inside and has a drain trough designed on top. The receiving platform is used to receive the outflowing drinking water.

[0017] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] By designing the water trough into a circular structure and rotating cleaning rods inside the circular trough, the brushes at the bottom of the cleaning rods clean the bottom wall of the trough as they rotate, preventing feed from settling and sticking together, thereby improving the quality of the water source. In addition, a grid is installed between the cleaning rods to prevent ducks from entering the water trough, further reducing the possibility of water source contamination.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] A drinking water device for duck egg farming, referring to Figure 1 - Figure 7 The water tank 1 is equipped with a water supply structure. This structure utilizes existing technology, consisting of rigid pipes connected to an external water source. The pipes are equipped with a water pump, solenoid valves, and other components to control the flow of water, allowing for intermittent water supply or manual control. The inner bottom wall of the water tank 1 is inclined towards the axis, ensuring that impurities are discharged to the drain hole 11 at the center. The drain hole 11 is connected to a drain pump via a pipe below, allowing for the cleaning of contaminated water in the water tank 1 by controlling the drain pump.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 Eight cleaning rods 4 together form a cleaning assembly. The cleaning rods 4 are interconnected at their center to form a single structure. The bottom end of each cleaning rod 4 is parallel to the inner bottom wall of the water tank 1. A brush 42, which is attached to the bottom of the cleaning rod 4 and fits against the inner bottom wall of the water tank 1, is also provided at the bottom of the cleaning rod 4. The brush 42 cleans the feed adhering to the inner bottom wall of the water tank 1 by scrubbing it, allowing it to be discharged outwards with the water flow. Since the structure of the brush 42 may also cause feed to remain inside, the cleaning rod 4 structure needs to be removed periodically for drying and sterilization. The dried feed can be easily removed from the brush 42 by shaking, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the brush 42. Because the cleaning frequency and difficulty of the brush 42 are less than that of directly cleaning the water tank 1, this application represents an improvement over existing technologies.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5The water supply pipe 7 and the external water pipe are connected by a connector to ensure water supply to the inside of the water tank 1. Its position is fixed at the upper end of the cleaning rod 4. The purpose is to ensure that the water supply pipe 7 will not be blocked by feed and to ensure the cleanliness of the water supply pipe 7. In addition, water can be sprayed downwards during the subsequent cleaning process, which is convenient to work with the structure of the brush 42 to better clean the inside of the water tank 1.

[0032] A rotating seal 8 is installed at the end of the outer pipe 3. The rotating seal 8 has a two-section structure with a rotating seal between the two sections. It can directly adopt the existing rotating seal structure, that is, a sealing rubber ring is set between the two sections to ensure both rotation and good sealing effect. The upper section of the rotating seal 8 connects to the outer pipe 3, and the lower section is a sealed chamber structure. Several branch pipes 81 connected to its interior are installed on its outer wall. The water supply pipe 7 connects to the branch pipes 81. The rotating seal 8 is also fixedly installed at the position where the cleaning rod 4 and the water tank 1 are axially aligned. The purpose is that when the cleaning rod 4 is manually rotated or electrically driven, it will not affect the position of the outer pipe 3, while the water supply pipe 7 will rotate synchronously with the cleaning rod 4. The outer pipe 3 and the rotating seal 8 are detachable, making it easy to remove the entire cleaning assembly for drying and cleaning. In order to accommodate the disassembly function between the outer pipe 3 and the rotating seal 8, the structure of the outer pipe 3 can be modified to give it a certain amount of vertical movement space. There are many types of modification structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0033] refer to Figure 5 - Figure 7 At least two fasteners 6 are provided on the water supply pipe 7. The fasteners 6 are used to lock the cleaning rod 4 and the water supply pipe 7 to ensure the stability of the water supply pipe 7. The fastener 6 includes a collar 61. The front view of the collar 61 is a U-shaped structure with an open and closed structure. Its closed end is fixed to the cleaning rod 4 by a bolt assembly 62. The bolt assembly 62 includes bolts and nuts, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the collar 61 and the cleaning rod 4, respectively, and together stabilize the position of the collar 61. The vertical sides of the collar 61 are threaded with locking bolts 63. When the locking bolts 63 move in opposite directions and reduce the distance between them, they will increase the pressure on the outer wall of the water supply pipe 7, thereby locking the position of the water supply pipe 7 inside the collar 61.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4The entire cleaning component is supported by rollers 41, ensuring longitudinal stability while allowing rotation on the water tank 1. This rotation enables the cleaning component to clean the interior of the water tank 1. To further enhance convenience, an electric drive structure can be designed on the outside of the cleaning component. This structure uses a motor and synchronous belt to rotate the cleaning component and clean the inner wall of the water tank 1. This type of drive structure is quite common and is not shown in the accompanying drawings. However, considering production and usage costs, manually rotating the cleaning component is more cost-effective.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 Several grids 5 are evenly distributed between two adjacent cleaning rods 4. The width between the grids 5 is greater than the width of the duck's head but less than the width of its body. The function of the grids 5 is to block the duck, ensuring that its head can enter the inside of the water tank 1 while restricting its entire body from entering the water tank 1, thus reducing the possibility of the water tank 1 being contaminated to a certain extent. A mounting plate 51 is set at one end of the grid 5 near the center of the cleaning rod group. Locking plates are set on both sides of the mounting plate 51, and the locking plates are locked to the cleaning rod 4 by fasteners 6. The top view of the mounting plate 51 is a fan-shaped structure, with evenly distributed grids 5 welded to its longer arc side. The gaps between the grids 5 ensure that the duck's head can enter, but its body cannot. The grids 5 can be made of hard stainless steel wire. Locking plates 52 and 53 are welded to both sides of the non-arc section of mounting plate 51. The horizontal sections of locking plates 52 and 53 are arranged oppositely. This is to ensure that when two adjacent mounting plates 51 are installed on the same cleaning rod 4, the positions of locking plates 52 and 53 overlap. After overlapping, they can be fixed to the cleaning rod 4 by an external bolt structure. Of course, to simplify the device structure, it can also be fixed to the bolt assembly 62 of one of the fasteners 6, thus completing the installation of mounting plate 51.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 A receiving platform 21 is coaxially fitted around the water tank 1. The two are designed separately. The receiving platform 21 is hollow inside with an opening at the top and a drain plate 22 is installed at the top. At the same time, the receiving platform 21 is also provided with an external connection hole 23 on the side for connecting with an external drainage pipe. The function of the receiving platform 21 is that: since drinking water may leak out along the duck's body during the drinking process, the leaked drinking water enters the receiving platform 21 through the drain plate 22 and is collected, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the duck house environment.
