Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of poultry feeding equipment, specifically relating to a medicine dosing and water supply system for laying hen farming. Background Technology
[0002] In high-density tiered cage farming of laying hens, various medications, including preventative drugs, therapeutic drugs, and nutritional supplements, are typically added to the drinking water to ensure the health of the flock. However, the currently used semi-open trough water supply system poses significant hygiene risks: when the flock moves around, feathers, feces, feed residue, and other foreign objects can easily fall into the trough, causing water pollution, affecting the efficacy of medications, and potentially even leading to secondary infections. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model provides a medicine dosing and water supply system for egg-laying hen farming.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a drug-adding and water supply system for laying hen farming, comprising: a water storage tank, a drug-adding device disposed on the water storage tank, and a pressure pump connected to the water storage tank; the pressure pump is equipped with a flow distributor, which is connected to multiple feeding water troughs via multiple branch hoses; each stepped cage is equipped with a mounting bracket, and the feeding water trough is disposed on the mounting bracket. The feeding water trough is a horizontally placed cylindrical tube, with detachable sealing heads at both ends of the cylindrical tube, several upward-facing drinking holes on the side wall of the cylindrical tube, a first water inlet pipe connected to the branch hoses on the side wall of the cylindrical tube, and a drain valve on the cylindrical tube.
[0005] Preferably, the upper half of the sidewall of the cylindrical tube is provided with an axial groove, the cylindrical tube is provided with an interference fit rubber piston, and the sidewall of the rubber piston is provided with a handle that can slide in the groove.
[0006] Preferably, the flow distributor includes a main pipe located inside the chicken coop, a branch hose connected to the main pipe via a T-shaped pipe, a first solenoid valve located on the first water inlet pipe, and a first flow sensor located on the first water inlet pipe.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0009] The feeding trough of this invention adopts a cylindrical tubular structure with drinking holes on the cylindrical tube. Chickens drink through the drinking holes, which reduces the open area and reduces the likelihood that foreign objects such as feathers, feces, and feed residue will fall into the trough during chicken activity, causing water pollution and affecting the efficacy of medicine.
[0010] This invention supplies water or medicine to the feeding trough through a water storage tank and a pressurizing pump. The distributor controls the amount of water entering the feeding trough through a first electromagnetic and a first liquid flow meter. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.
[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 3This embodiment provides a medication and water supply system for laying hen farming, including: a water storage tank 1, a medication addition device mounted on the water storage tank 1, and a pressure pump 2 connected to the water storage tank 1; the pressure pump 2 is equipped with a flow distributor, which is connected to multiple feeding troughs 4 via multiple branch hoses 3; each stepped cage 22 is equipped with a mounting bracket 5, and the feeding trough 4 is mounted on the mounting bracket 5. The feeding trough 4 is a horizontally placed cylindrical tube with removable sealing heads 6 at both ends, several upward-facing drinking holes 7 on the side wall of the cylindrical tube, a first water inlet pipe 8 connected to the branch hoses 3 on the side wall of the cylindrical tube, and a drain valve 9 on the cylindrical tube. The pressure pump 2 is a peristaltic pump. Chickens drink through the drinking holes 7, reducing the open area and decreasing the probability that foreign objects such as feathers, feces, and feed residue will easily fall into the water trough during flock activity, leading to water pollution and affecting medication efficacy. The mounting bracket 5 is made of angle steel, which is connected to the stepped cage 22. The angle steel is equipped with clamps 23, which avoid the sliding groove 10.
[0017] The upper half of the sidewall of the cylindrical tube is provided with an axial groove 10. An interference-fit rubber piston 11 is installed inside the cylindrical tube. A handle 12, which slides within the groove 10, is provided on the sidewall of the rubber piston 11. The rubber piston 11 has a certain degree of elasticity, and the handle 12 allows it to be pulled within the feeding trough 4 to clean the inner wall of the feeding trough 4. After removing the sealing head 6, the rubber piston 11 can be removed for cleaning.
[0018] The flow distributor includes a main pipe 13 located in the chicken house, a branch hose 3 connected to the main pipe 13 via a T-shaped pipe, a first solenoid valve 14 located on the first water inlet pipe 8, and a first flow sensor 15 located on the first water inlet pipe 8.
[0019] This embodiment also includes a PLC controller with a display screen control panel. The water volume entering each feeding trough 4 is set via the display screen control panel. Once the set water volume is reached, the corresponding first water inlet pipe 8 is closed via the first solenoid valve 14. The PLC controller shuts off the booster pump 2 only after all feeding troughs 4 have sufficient water. This method avoids the problem of inconsistent water volume entering the feeding troughs 4 due to differences in elevation and distance.
[0020] The water storage tank 1 is equipped with a second inlet pipe 16, and a second flow sensor 17 is mounted on the second inlet pipe 16. A medicine container 18 is located above the water storage tank 1, and a drain pipe 19 leading to the water storage tank 1 is located at the bottom of the medicine container 18. A third flow sensor 20 and a second solenoid valve 21 are mounted on the drain pipe 19. The second flow sensor 17 detects the amount of water entering the water storage tank 1. The amount of medicine added is set according to a proportional relationship. The PLC controller opens the second solenoid valve 21, and the third flow sensor 20 detects the amount added. After the set value is reached, the second solenoid valve 21 closes. The second flow sensor 17 is electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0021] When using the medicine dosing and water supply system for egg-laying hen farming according to this utility model:
[0022] Water is added to the water storage tank 1 through the second inlet pipe 16 and the second flow sensor 17. Liquid medicine is poured into the medicine container 18 and stirred evenly. If it is a powdered medicine, it must be pre-mixed and thoroughly mixed. The dosage is set according to the ratio. The PLC controller opens the second solenoid valve 21, and the third flow sensor 20 detects the added amount. After reaching the set value, the second solenoid valve 21 closes. Continuous stirring of the water storage tank 1 ensures the medicine and water are evenly mixed. The pressure pump 2 is started to pump the mixture into the main pipe 13. After entering the branch pipe, the first flow sensor 15 detects that the inflow has reached the set value, and the PLC controller closes the first solenoid valve 14. If only water supply is required, the medicine preparation process can be ignored.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
