Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pig farming technology, specifically to an automatic water supply device for pig farming. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the field of pig farming, automatic water supply devices are one of the key pieces of equipment to ensure the healthy growth of pigs. However, traditional pig farming water supply devices have revealed some problems during use, affecting their actual effectiveness.

[0003] Traditional water supply systems often lack effective cleaning mechanisms. After prolonged use, food residue and dirt can easily accumulate in the water troughs, affecting water quality and potentially becoming a breeding ground for bacteria, posing a threat to the health of pigs. Furthermore, cleaning the water troughs usually requires manual labor, which increases labor costs and may frighten or injure the pigs due to improper operation.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an automatic water supply device for pig farming, which automatically cleans the water tank, avoiding the accumulation of food residue and dirt, and ensuring the cleanliness of the water and the health of the pigs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic water supply device for pig farming, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic water supply device for pig farming, comprising a mounting frame, wherein multiple sets of mounting frames are provided, a top rod is fixedly installed on the top of each set of mounting frames, a water outlet pipe is fixedly installed on one side of each set of top rods, a support frame is fixedly installed on one side of each set of mounting frames, and water troughs are rotatably installed between adjacent sets of mounting frames and support frames, the tops of the multiple sets of water troughs correspond to the bottoms of each set of water outlet pipes, and a cleaning mechanism is installed on each of the multiple sets of water troughs.

[0007] Optionally, the cleaning mechanism includes slots in the middle of both sides of each set of water tanks, a first sprocket rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame on one side, a chain driven by the first sprocket, a second sprocket driven by the other end of the chain, and a handle fixedly mounted on the central shaft of the second sprocket. The central shaft of the first sprocket is fixedly mounted to the side wall of the water tank on one side, and the other end of the central shaft of the second sprocket is rotatably mounted to the side wall of the mounting frame on one side.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sets of water tanks can be cleaned.

[0009] Optionally, a liquid level sensor is installed at the top of the water outlet pipe, and an electric valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water outlet pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the water level in each set of slots can be precisely controlled.

[0011] Optionally, one end of the top of each set of water outlet pipes is connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of multiple sets of connecting pipes is connected to a multi-port connector, which is installed at the water outlet.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, clean water can be delivered to multiple sets of water outlet pipes simultaneously.

[0013] Optionally, linkage rods are distributed between two adjacent sets of mounting brackets, and each set of linkage rods is fixedly installed to the side walls of two adjacent sets of water tanks.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the water tank can be rotated synchronously.

[0015] Optionally, each of the mounting brackets is equipped with a drainage channel at its bottom, and the drainage channels correspond to the water tanks.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, food scraps and wastewater can be discharged into the drainage system.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0018] The technical solution of this application involves rotating a handle to drive a second sprocket fixedly installed on the other side to rotate. Since the second sprocket is connected to the first sprocket via a chain, it can synchronously drive the water trough fixedly installed on the other end of the first sprocket to rotate. In addition, there are linkage rods fixedly installed between adjacent water troughs. When the operator rotates the handle, the water troughs can be rotated at the same angle. After multiple water troughs have rotated 180 degrees, the opening at the top of the water trough will rotate downwards to pour the remaining residue and juice into the drain. The opening at the bottom of the water trough will rotate upwards to receive fresh water again. This can greatly prevent water and food from remaining in the opening for a long time, which can cause bacteria to grow and make pigs sick.

[0019] A liquid level sensor is installed at the top of the water outlet pipe, and an electric valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water outlet pipe. When the water source valve is opened, water will flow from the water outlet into multiple sets of water outlet pipes. Since the bottom of the water outlet pipes is distributed at the top of the tank opening, and each set of water outlet pipes is equipped with a liquid level sensor at the top, the signal can be sent to the control processor to control the electric valve at the bottom of the water outlet pipe. This effectively and accurately controls the water level in each set of tank openings, ensuring that a certain amount of clean water is left in each tank opening, avoiding the continuous supply of water to the tank openings and causing water waste.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic water supply device for pig farming, including a mounting frame 1, which is provided in multiple sets. Each set of mounting frames 1 has a top rod 11 fixedly mounted on its top, a water outlet pipe 12 fixedly mounted on one side of each top rod 11, and a support frame 13 fixedly mounted on one side of each set of mounting frames 1. Water troughs 2 are rotatably mounted between adjacent sets of mounting frames 1 and support frames 13. The tops of the multiple sets of water troughs 2 correspond to the bottoms of each set of water outlet pipes 12. Cleaning devices are installed on each set of water troughs 2. The cleaning mechanism includes slots 21 on both sides of each set of water tanks 2, a first sprocket 22 rotatably mounted on the bottom of a mounting bracket 1 on one side, a chain driven by the first sprocket 22, a second sprocket 23 driven by the other end of the chain, and a handle 24 fixedly mounted on the central shaft of the second sprocket 23. The central shaft of the first sprocket 22 is fixedly mounted to the side wall of the water tank 2 on one side, and the other end of the central shaft of the second sprocket 23 is rotatably mounted to the side wall of the mounting bracket 1 on one side. It can clean multiple sets of water tanks 2.

[0025] By turning the handle 24, the second sprocket 23 fixedly installed on the other side is driven to rotate. Since the second sprocket 23 is connected to the first sprocket 22 by a chain, it can synchronously drive the water tank 2 fixedly installed on the other end of the first sprocket 22 to rotate. In addition, there are linkage rods 34 fixedly installed between the two adjacent water tanks 2. When the operator turns the handle 24, the water tank 2 can be rotated at the same angle. After the multiple water tanks 2 rotate 180 degrees, the trough opening 21 at the top of the water tank 2 will rotate downward to pour the remaining residue and juice into the drain 35. The trough opening 21 at the bottom of the water tank 2 will rotate upward to receive fresh water again. This can greatly prevent water and food from remaining in the trough opening 21 for a long time and causing bacteria to grow, which can cause pigs to get sick.

[0026] In this technical solution, each set of water outlet pipes 12 has a connecting pipe 31 installed at one end of its top. The other ends of multiple sets of connecting pipes 31 are respectively connected to the interfaces of multi-port connectors 33. The multi-port connectors 33 are installed at the water outlets 32, which can simultaneously deliver clean water to multiple sets of water outlet pipes 12. A liquid level sensor 3 is installed at the top of the water outlet pipe 12, and an electric valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water outlet pipe 12, which can accurately control the water level in each set of slots 21.

[0027] When the water source valve is opened, water will be introduced from the outlet 32 ​​into multiple sets of outlet pipes 12. Since the bottom of the outlet pipes 12 is distributed at the top of the tank opening 21, and each set of outlet pipes 12 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 3, the signal can be sent to the control processor to control the electric valve at the bottom of the outlet pipe 12, effectively and accurately controlling the water level in each set of tank openings 21, ensuring that each set of water tanks 2 has a certain amount of clean water in the tank openings 21, avoiding the continuous supply of water to the tank openings 21 and causing water waste.

[0028] In this technical solution, each of the multiple mounting brackets 1 has a drainage channel 35 installed at its bottom. The multiple drainage channels 35 correspond to the multiple water tanks 2 respectively, which can discharge food scraps and wastewater into the drainage channels 35.

[0029] After the multiple water tanks 2 rotate 180 degrees, the opening 21 at the top of the water tank 2 will rotate downwards, pouring the remaining residue and juice into the drain 35, thus preventing food residue and wastewater from polluting the pigs' living environment.

[0030] In this technical solution, there are linkage rods 34 distributed between two adjacent sets of mounting frames 1. Each set of linkage rods 34 is fixedly installed on the side wall of two adjacent sets of water tanks 2, which can drive the water tanks 2 to rotate synchronously.

[0031] When the water tank 2, which is fixedly installed at the other end of the first sprocket 22, is driven to rotate, and with the linkage rod 34 fixedly installed between each of the two adjacent water tanks 2, multiple water tanks 2 can be rotated at the same angle.

[0032] In use, the water source valve is opened first, and water is introduced from the outlet 32 ​​into multiple sets of outlet pipes 12 and discharged into the troughs 21 at the top of multiple sets of water troughs 2, providing drinking water for a large number of pigs. After prolonged use, the operator can turn the handle 24 to rotate the second sprocket 23 fixedly installed on the other side. Since the second sprocket 23 is connected to the first sprocket 22 via a chain, it can synchronously rotate the water trough 2 fixedly installed on the other end of the first sprocket 22. A linkage rod 34 is fixedly installed between adjacent sets of water troughs 2. When the operator turns the handle 24, the water trough 2 can rotate at the same angle. After multiple sets of water troughs 2 rotate 180 degrees, the troughs 21 at the top of the water troughs 2 will rotate downwards, pouring the remaining residue and juice into the drain. Inside channel 35, the trough opening 21 at the bottom of water tank 2 rotates upward to receive fresh water again. This greatly avoids the growth of bacteria caused by water and food remaining in the trough opening 21 for a long time, which could lead to illness in pigs. At the same time, a liquid level sensor 3 is installed on the top of the water outlet pipe 12, and an electric valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water outlet pipe 12. When the water valve is opened, water will flow from the water outlet 32 ​​into multiple sets of water outlet pipes 12. Since the bottom of the water outlet pipes 12 is distributed on the top of the trough opening 21, and each set of water outlet pipes 12 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 3, the signal can be sent to the control processor to control the electric valve at the bottom of the water outlet pipe 12. This effectively and accurately controls the water level in each set of trough opening 21, ensuring that each set of water tank 2 has a certain amount of clean water in the trough opening 21, avoiding the continuous supply of water to the trough opening 21 and the waste of water resources.
