Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-laying hen farming technology, and in particular to a water supply device for egg-laying hen farming. Background Technology

[0002] Laying hens are chickens specifically raised for egg production. The primary goal of their breeding is to increase egg quantity and quality, rather than chicken meat quality. Therefore, the water requirements of laying hens are crucial; water shortage can severely impact their egg production and overall health. Farmers must scientifically regulate the amount and timing of water intake for their laying hens to ensure adequate water supply.

[0003] Existing water supply devices used in farms often cause water to splash due to the large water flow or the inertia caused by hens accidentally touching them. Chickens pecking at each other or biting the watering devices can also splash water onto the litter, leading to a rapid increase in localized humidity. In high-density farming environments, slow evaporation of moisture makes the litter prone to forming wet clumps, which can then lead to mold growth. Furthermore, the damp environment can affect the chickens' thermoregulation, thus impacting their normal growth and development. Splashed water can also easily wet the feathers on the chickens' abdomens and legs, creating a breeding ground for bacteria on the skin.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a water supply device for laying hen farming. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to provide a water supply device for laying hen farming. This addresses the issue that existing water supply devices, when used in farms, cause water to splash due to the large water flow or the inertia of laying hens accidentally touching the device. Furthermore, pecking or biting of the drinking device by the chickens can also cause water to splash onto the litter, leading to a rapid increase in localized humidity. In high-density farming environments, slow evaporation of moisture makes the litter prone to forming wet clumps, which can then lead to mold growth. Additionally, a damp environment can affect the chickens' thermoregulation, thus impacting their normal growth and development. Moreover, splashing water can easily wet the feathers on the chickens' abdomen and legs, creating a breeding ground for bacteria on the skin in damp areas.

[0006] To solve the problems mentioned above, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.

[0007] A water supply device for laying hens includes: a water trough;

[0008] The water collection tank has two parts that are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drinking water tank, and the side of the water collection tank away from the drinking water tank has an inclined fixing plate.

[0009] The pressing plate has a cavity inside, and the pressing plate is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing plate through the cavity. The pressing plates are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the fixing plate.

[0010] The absorbent cotton is attached to the outer surface of the pressing plate by hook and loop fasteners.

[0011] Furthermore, a pressing spring is fixedly connected to the top side inside the cavity, and the other end of the pressing spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the drinking trough, and the baffle is positioned at the gap between the two corresponding pressing plates.

[0013] Furthermore, the top edge of the drinking trough is rounded and chamfered, and the top of the drinking trough is provided with an arc-shaped buffer wall.

[0014] Furthermore, a water inlet is provided on one side of the drinking trough, and a water supply tank is provided on the outer side of the drinking trough near the water inlet, and the water inlet pipe of the water supply tank extends into the drinking trough through the water inlet.

[0015] Furthermore, a filter plate is fixedly connected inside the water collection tank, and an inclined plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface inside the water collection tank, with the inclined plate tilting towards the side closer to the water supply tank.

[0016] Furthermore, an outlet is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the water collection tank near the water supply tank, and a water outlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the outlet, with the other end of the water outlet pipe connected to the water storage tank.

[0017] Furthermore, a water pump is fixedly connected to the outer side of the water storage tank. The water pump is connected to the water supply tank through a water delivery pipe and is used to recycle water from the water storage tank to the inside of the water supply tank.

[0018] This utility model provides a water supply device for laying hen farming. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. By setting up a water collection trough, a fixing plate, a pressing plate, a cavity, and a pressing spring, the pressing plate can block splashing water in the drinking trough, and the water collection trough can collect water droplets caused by collisions and water flow impacts. When the laying hens lower their heads to drink, their bodies exert downward pressure. Under the action of the pressing spring, the pressing plate retracts downward and does not block the laying hens from drinking. When not drinking, the pressing plate rebounds under the action of the pressing spring to block water droplets from splashing onto the bedding, thus preventing the bedding from experiencing a rapid increase in local humidity. In high-density breeding environments, water evaporates slowly, and the bedding is prone to forming wet clumps, which can lead to mold problems.

[0021] 2. By installing absorbent cotton on the pressure plate, the cotton can come into contact with the hens when they drink, thus absorbing the water splashed onto their bodies, keeping their feathers dry, and preventing the problem of bacteria growing on damp skin. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 A water supply device for laying hens is provided, including a drinking trough 1; a water collection trough 2, which has two sections respectively fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drinking trough 1, and an inclined fixing plate 201 on the side of the water collection trough 2 away from the drinking trough 1; a pressing plate 3, which has a cavity 301 inside, and the pressing plate 3 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing plate 201 through the cavity 301, and the pressing plate 3 is evenly distributed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 201; and absorbent cotton 5, which is connected to the outer surface of the pressing plate 3 by hook and loop fasteners 4.

[0032] Specifically, a pressing spring 302 is fixedly connected to the top side inside the cavity 301, and the other end of the pressing spring 302 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 201.

[0033] The drinking trough 1 is used to provide drinking water for the laying hens. The water collection trough 2 is located on both sides of the drinking trough 1 to collect water splashed from both sides. The fixing plate 201 guides the water when it splashes out, guiding the water to slide down the side of the fixing plate 201 into the water collection trough 2. When the laying hens drink, they stick out their heads and lower their heads to peck at the water with their beaks. At this time, their body parts are in contact with the pressing plate 3. When the laying hens lower their heads, their bodies have a downward force. Under the action of the pressing spring 302, the pressing plate 3 will press down, allowing the laying hens to drink water easily. When the laying hens do not drink, the pressing plate 3 will rebound under the action of the pressing spring 302 to block the sides of the drinking trough 1. When the laying hens' bodies are in contact with the outside of the pressing plate 3, the absorbent cotton 5 can absorb the water attached to the surface of the laying hens' bodies. The absorbent cotton 5 can be replaced after use.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-5 A baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1. The baffle 6 is set at the gap between the two corresponding pressing plates 3. The top edge of the water tank 1 is rounded and chamfered. The top of the water tank 1 is provided with an arc-shaped buffer wall 101. A water inlet 102 is opened on one side of the water tank 1. A water supply tank 7 is provided on the outer side of the water inlet 102 in the water tank 1. The water inlet pipe 701 in the water supply tank 7 extends into the interior of the water tank 1 through the water inlet 102.

[0035] Specifically, a filter plate 202 is fixedly connected inside the water collection tank 2, and an inclined plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface inside the water collection tank 2. The inclined plate 203 is inclined towards the side closer to the water supply tank 7. An outlet 204 is opened at the bottom of the inner side of the water collection tank 2 near the water supply tank 7. A water outlet pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the outlet 204. The other end of the water outlet pipe 8 is connected to the water storage tank 9. A water pump 901 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the water storage tank 9. The water pump 901 is connected to the water supply tank 7 through a water delivery pipe 902 and is used to recover water in the water storage tank 9 back into the water supply tank 7.

[0036] During drinking, water is released into the drinking trough 1 through the inlet pipe 701 in the water tank 7. The arc-shaped buffer wall 101 can effectively buffer the impact of the water flow, reducing the impact force. The pressing plate 3 has multiple pressing plates that allow the laying hens to drink locally. Other areas that are not being watered can still be blocked by the pressing plate 3. The baffle 6 blocks two spaced pressing plates 3, which can separate the drinking areas of the laying hens. At the same time, the baffle 6 can block the splashed water. The splashed water is collected in the water collection trough 2 and filtered through the filter plate 202 before entering the bottom of the water collection trough 2. Under the guidance of the inclined plate 203, the water is discharged through the outlet 204. The outlet pipe 8 collects the water into the water storage tank 9. Then, the water storage tank 9 can be transported to the water tank 7 for recycling through the water pump 901 and the water delivery pipe 902.

[0037] Working principle: When drinking, water is released into the water trough 1 through the water inlet pipe 701 in the water tank 7. The arc-shaped buffer wall 101 effectively buffers the impact of the water flow, reducing the impact force. When the laying hen drinks, it extends its head and lowers its head to peck at the water. At this time, its body parts are in contact with the pressing plate 3. When the laying hen lowers its head, its body has a downward force. Under the action of the pressing spring 302, the pressing plate 3 will press down, allowing the laying hen to easily drink the water. When the outer side of the pressure plate 3 comes into contact, the absorbent cotton 5 can absorb the water attached to the surface of the laying hen's body. The pressure plate 3 has multiple sections that allow the laying hen to drink locally. Other areas that are not being used for drinking can still be blocked by the pressure plate 3. The baffle 6 blocks two pressure plates 3 that are spaced apart, which can separate the drinking areas of the laying hen. At the same time, the baffle 6 can block splashed water. The water collection trough 2 collects the water splashed from both sides of the drinking trough 1 and then filters and recycles it through the filter plate 202.
