Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular relates to a water trough for animal husbandry. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry is an important part of agriculture. It can provide people with the raw materials such as meat, leather, hides and wool that they need. Animal husbandry requires feeding and watering livestock. Existing water troughs are often directly exposed to the outside. If debris falls into the water trough when the livestock are not drinking, it cannot be detected in time. Over time, this will cause water pollution and affect the health of the livestock. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding trough for livestock breeding to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A water trough for livestock farming includes a trough body, support legs, a buffer tank, a drain pipe, a buoyancy plate, a slider, a connecting rod, and a pedal. The trough body is a rectangular design with an open top. The bottom of the trough body has screw-mounted support legs, which are fixed to the ground by anchor bolts. A screw-mounted buffer tank is located on one side of the trough body, with a water inlet on the upper side of one side of the buffer tank. A flange-connected drain pipe is located on the lower side of the other side of the buffer tank. The drain pipe has an inverted L-shaped design and enters the trough body. A buoyancy plate is located on the upper part of the trough body, which can move up and down with the liquid level. A guide channel is located on the side of the trough body away from the buffer tank, and a slider is installed in the guide channel. The slider is connected to the connecting rod, which has an inclined design and is connected to the pedal. The pedal is located at the lower front of the trough body, and livestock need to step on the pedal when they need water.
[0006] Preferably, the buoyancy plate has multiple drainage holes and a circular hole for the drainage pipe to pass through, with the drainage pipe extending into the tank near the bottom.
[0007] Preferably, a pressure block is installed on the buoyancy plate, and the pressure block is connected to the slider via a frame. The frame is designed as a gantry frame, and the buoyancy of the frame and the pressure block is greater than the weight of the frame and the pressure block. A first spring is installed at the bottom of the slider and is installed in a guide groove.
[0008] Preferably, one end of the pedal is connected to a fixed block via a shaft, the fixed block is installed on the ground, and the other end of the pedal is connected to a second spring. Under normal conditions, the pedal and the ground form a wedge-shaped structure. When the second spring is extended, the slider can move to the highest point of the guide groove, and the first spring is in an extended state.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: The design of this utility model is reasonable; the design of the buffer tank allows water to be slowly added into the tank, avoiding splashing caused by excessive water flow and affecting the surrounding environment. The buoyancy plate in the tank can move up and down with the liquid level. When the livestock do not drink water, the buoyancy plate can shield the tank, reducing the entry of large debris into the tank. When debris falls onto the buoyancy plate, it can be promptly discovered and cleaned up, reducing the possibility of the tank being contaminated. When the livestock need to drink water, the livestock stand on the pedal, and the second spring under the pedal is compressed, causing the connecting rod to pull the slider down. The slider moves down, causing the frame and pressure block to move the buoyancy plate down. The water in the tank rises through the drainage holes on the buoyancy plate, allowing the livestock to drink water. After drinking water, the second spring and the first spring cause the slider, frame, and pressure block to rise, and at the same time, the buoyancy plate rises under the action of buoyancy and pressure block.

[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0015] like Figures 1-4As shown, a feeding trough for livestock includes a trough body 1, support legs 2, a buffer tank 3, a drain pipe 4, a buoyancy plate 5, a slider 6, a connecting rod 9, and a pedal 10. The trough body 1 is a rectangular design with an open top. The bottom of the trough body 1 is equipped with screw-mounted support legs 2, which are fixed to the ground by anchor bolts. A screw-mounted buffer tank 3 is located on one side of the trough body 1, with a water inlet at the top of one side. A flange-connected drain pipe 4 is located at the bottom of the other side of the buffer tank 3. The drain pipe 4 has an inverted L-shaped design and enters the trough body 1. A buoyancy plate 5 is located at the top of the trough body 1, and the buoyancy plate 5 can move up and down with the liquid level. A guide channel 7 is located on the side of the trough body 1 away from the buffer tank 3. A slider 6 is installed in the guide channel 7 and is connected to the connecting rod 9. The connecting rod 9 has an inclined design and is connected to the pedal 10, which is located on the trough body. 1. When livestock need water, they need to step on the pedal 10. The buoyancy plate 5 has multiple drainage holes 11 and a circular hole for the drainage pipe 4 to pass through. The drainage pipe 4 extends into the tank 1 near the bottom. The buoyancy plate 5 is equipped with a pressure block 13, which is connected to the slider 6 via a frame 12. The frame 12 is designed as a gantry frame. The buoyancy of the frame 12 and the pressure block 13 is greater than the weight of the frame 12 and the pressure block 13. The bottom of the slider 6 is equipped with a first spring 8, which is installed in the guide groove 7. One end of the pedal 10 is connected to a fixed block via a shaft. The fixed block is installed on the ground. The other end of the pedal 10 is connected to a second spring 14. Under normal conditions, the pedal 10 and the ground form a wedge-shaped structure. When the second spring 14 is extended, the slider 6 can move to the highest point of the guide groove 7, and the first spring 8 is in the extended state.
[0016] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the support legs are installed in a suitable position. Then, the tank is fixed to the support legs with screws. The buffer tank is installed on one side of the tank, and the drainage pipe on the buffer tank extends to the bottom of the tank. The water in the buffer tank slowly flows into the tank under the action of gravity. As the liquid level in the tank rises, the water flow slows down. When the water pressure in the buffer tank is balanced with the water pressure in the tank, the water stops flowing. The buoyancy plate on the tank will rise under the action of buoyancy. At the same time, the first spring under the slider can also make it rise, so that the buoyancy plate rises to the top of the tank. The buoyancy plate intercepts large pieces of debris, reducing the pollution of the water caused by large pieces of debris falling into the tank. When the livestock need to drink water, the livestock stand on the pedal. The second spring under the pedal is compressed. The pedal moves down, causing the connecting rod to pull the slider down. The slider moves down, causing the frame and pressure block to move the buoyancy plate downward. The water in the tank rises through the drainage hole on the buoyancy plate, allowing the livestock to drink water.
[0017] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made to the implementation methods without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, based on the teachings of the present utility model, still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
