Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water equipment technology, and in particular to a simple drinking water equipment for beef cattle. Background Technology
[0002] In small-scale or free-range farming, beef cattle rely heavily on manual water carrying, buckets, or open ponds for drinking water, which is inefficient. Frequent manual water replenishment is required, especially when the herd is large, resulting in high labor intensity. As the livestock industry develops towards large-scale and intensive farming (such as farms with more than 100 cattle), traditional methods are unable to meet the demand for efficient and hygienic drinking water, thus creating a demand for simple equipment.
[0003] Currently available simple beef cattle drinking equipment suffers from water freezing in the troughs during winter, preventing cattle from drinking and rendering it impractical. Furthermore, existing beef cattle drinking equipment often accumulates debris such as fallen leaves and twigs in the troughs. Cleaning the troughs requires not only external flushing pipes but also manual removal of these debris, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and poor practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology where water left stagnant in the drinking trough in winter is prone to freezing, causing beef cattle to be unable to drink water, and where dead branches, leaves and other debris often fall into the drinking trough. When cleaning the drinking trough, it is necessary not only to introduce a flushing pipe from the outside, but also to manually remove the dead branches, leaves and other debris one by one, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. Therefore, a simple drinking water device for beef cattle is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a simple beef cattle drinking water device, including a drinking trough, an inner frame of the drinking trough, a filter plate fixed on the inner wall of the frame, handles fixed at both ends of the frame, the handles being fixed to the drinking trough by bolts, two sets of fixing plates installed on the inner bottom wall of the drinking trough, heating rods installed in both sets of fixing plates, a water storage tank on one side of the drinking trough, a first water pump installed between the water storage tank and the drinking trough, a second water pump installed on the side end of the water storage tank, a telescopic hose fixed to the output end of the second water pump, a connecting pipe fixed to the end of the telescopic hose away from the second water pump, a nozzle installed at the end of the connecting pipe away from the telescopic hose, and a controller installed on the outer wall of the water storage tank.
[0006] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixed to the bottom of the water tank, a control valve is installed on the outer wall of the drain pipe, and a flange is fixed to the outer wall of the end of the drain pipe away from the water tank.
[0007] Preferably, a water level monitor is installed on the inner wall of the drinking trough, located on the upper side of the frame.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0020] Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a simple beef cattle drinking device, including a drinking trough 1, a frame 2 inside the drinking trough 1, a filter plate 3 fixed on the inner wall of the frame 2, handles 4 fixed at both ends of the frame 2, the handles 4 being fixed to the drinking trough 1 by bolts 6, two sets of fixing plates 12 installed on the inner bottom wall of the drinking trough 1, heating rods 13 installed in both sets of fixing plates 12, a water storage tank 8 on one side of the drinking trough 1, a first water pump 9 installed between the water storage tank 8 and the drinking trough 1, a second water pump 18 installed on the side end of the water storage tank 8, a telescopic hose 19 fixed to the output end of the second water pump 18, a connecting pipe 20 fixed to the end of the telescopic hose 19 away from the second water pump 18, a nozzle 21 installed at the end of the connecting pipe 20 away from the telescopic hose 19, and a controller 23 installed on the outer wall of the water storage tank 8.
[0021] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is that, through the operation of the first water pump 9, water can be drawn from the water storage tank 8 to replenish the water tank 1. The water level in the water tank 1 is monitored by the water level monitor 24 to ensure that the water level is always above the frame 2. With the installation of the fixing plate 12 and the heating rod 13, the heating rod 13 heats the water in the water tank 1 in winter, keeping it at a constant temperature and preventing freezing. This enhances its practicality. Furthermore, the device, through the installation of the frame 2 and the filter plate 3… It can block fallen branches and leaves from falling into the drinking trough 1. When the drinking trough 1 needs to be cleaned, simply unscrew the bolt 6 to directly lift and remove the frame 2 and filter plate 3. At this time, all the fallen branches and leaves in the drinking trough 1 will be moved out along with the filter plate 3 as it moves up, eliminating the need to clean them one by one, thus making the cleaning efficiency faster. In addition, the second water pump 18, telescopic hose 19, connecting pipe 20 and nozzle 21 used for rinsing are installed at one end of the water storage tank 8, so rinsing can be carried out directly through the water in the water storage tank 8 without the need for an external rinsing water pipe, making it more practical.
[0022] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a drain pipe 14 is fixed to the bottom of the water tank 1. A control valve 15 is installed on the outer wall of the drain pipe 14. A flange 16 is fixed to the outer wall of the end of the drain pipe 14 away from the water tank 1. A water level monitor 24 is installed on the inner wall of the water tank 1 above the frame 2. A bracket 17 is fixed to the bottom of both the water tank 1 and the frame 2. The drain pipe 14 passes through the bracket 17 and is fixed to the bracket 17. An elastic clamp 22 is installed on the outer wall of the water storage tank 8. A connecting pipe 20 is snapped into the elastic clamp 22. Slots 5 matching the handle 4 are opened on both sides of the top of the water tank 1. Multiple stabilizing plates 7 are fixed on the inner wall of the water tank 1 at the bottom of the frame 2. The bottom of the stabilizing plate 7 abuts against the bottom of the frame 2. Connecting pipes 10 are fixed to both ends of the first water pump 9. The two connecting pipes 10 are connected and fixed to the water tank 1 and the water storage tank 8 respectively. A top cover 11 is snapped onto the top of the water storage tank 8.
[0023] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is as follows: by opening the control valve 15, the drain pipe 14 can be opened, thus preventing the water in the drinking trough 1 from being discharged, which facilitates the disinfection and rinsing of the drinking trough 1. The flange 16 facilitates the connection of the drain pipe 14 to the external sewage treatment facility. The elastic clamp 22 facilitates the connection pipe 20 to be snapped onto the water storage tank 8. The slot 5 provides snap-fit support for the two handles 4, thereby providing snap-fit support for the frame 2. The stabilizing plate 7 provides auxiliary support for the frame 2 as a whole, greatly reducing the possibility of breakage. The water storage tank 8 of this device is made of heat-insulating material, which greatly reduces the possibility of the water inside freezing in winter. The controller 23 of this device can control the operation of the first water pump 9, the heating rod 13, the second water pump 18, the control valve 15, and the water level monitor 24.
[0024] Working Principle: When in use, the device draws water from the storage tank 8 via the operation of the first water pump 9, replenishing the drinking trough 1. The water level in the drinking trough 1 is monitored by the water level monitor 24, ensuring it remains above the frame 2. The fixing plate 12 and heating rod 13 heat the water in the drinking trough 1 during winter, maintaining a constant temperature and preventing freezing, thus enhancing its practicality. Furthermore, the frame 2 and filter plate 3 prevent fallen leaves and twigs from entering the drinking trough 1. To clean the drinking trough 1, simply unscrew the bolt 6 to remove the frame 2 and filter plate 3, causing all fallen leaves and twigs in the drinking trough 1 to move upwards with the filter plate 3. The entire unit can be removed without the need for individual cleaning, resulting in faster cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the second water pump 18, telescopic hose 19, connecting pipe 20, and nozzle 21 used for rinsing are installed at one end of the water storage tank 8, allowing direct rinsing using water from the tank without the need for external rinsing pipes, thus enhancing practicality. By opening the control valve 15, the drain pipe 14 can be opened, preventing the water in the drinking trough 1 from being discharged, facilitating disinfection and rinsing of the trough 1. The flange 16 allows the drain pipe 14 to be connected to an external sewage treatment facility. The operation of the second water pump 18 draws water from the water storage tank 8, allowing the water to flow through the telescopic hose 19 and connecting pipe 20 and spray out from the nozzle 21. Users can hold the connecting pipe 20 to rinse the drinking trough 1.
[0025] The wiring diagrams of the controller 23, the first water pump 9, the heating rod 13, the second water pump 18, the control valve 15, and the water level monitor 24 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control methods and wiring layouts of the controller 23, the first water pump 9, the heating rod 13, the second water pump 18, the control valve 15, and the water level monitor 24 will not be explained in detail.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
