Abstract
Description
A segmented water trough suitable for mountainous livestock farms Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of segmented drinking trough technology, and in particular to a segmented drinking trough suitable for mountainous livestock farms. Background Technology
[0002] Mountain animal husbandry, which has developed in plateau, hilly and mountainous areas, faces many challenges due to its undulating terrain, low temperature, complex forage species and obvious vertical distribution. As a mountainous country, with mountains covering two-thirds of its land area, China actively develops mountain animal husbandry, which is of great significance for making full use of mountain forage resources and promoting the economic development of mountainous areas. The drinking water link is extremely critical in mountain animal husbandry, and segmented drinking troughs can meet the drinking water needs of livestock in different areas.
[0003] In the process of realizing this invention, the inventors discovered that the prior art has at least the following problems: In the daily breeding operations of livestock farms in mountainous areas, when animals use segmented drinking troughs to drink water, they are easily affected by the surrounding environmental factors. Straw is commonly used to line the ground in the farms. When animals frequently enter and leave the drinking area, their hooves or bodies will inadvertently carry straw. During the drinking process, the straw falls into the drinking trough. In addition, the mountainous areas are windy, and fallen leaves and dust will also be mixed in. Over time, these impurities continue to accumulate, seriously damaging the water quality in the drinking trough. Currently, segmented drinking troughs on the market mainly focus on basic water storage and supply, but lack cleaning components for such large impurities. This means that cleaning work can only be done manually by the staff, which is undoubtedly tedious and inefficient.
[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the basic technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows: it includes a drinking trough, a water transmission structure is provided on the left side of the drinking trough, and a segmented cleaning structure is provided inside the drinking trough;
[0006] The segmented cleaning structure includes a cylinder installed on the front of the water tank, through-hole columns arranged in a filling array on the bottom wall of the water tank, and four sliding grooves opened on both sides of the inner wall of the water tank. The inner walls of the four sliding grooves are slidably connected to baffles, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a connecting plate.
[0007] Preferably, five connecting blocks are fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate, and a filter screen is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting blocks.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the filter screen has filter holes that are adapted to the through-hole columns.
[0009] Preferably, the water transmission structure includes a collection tank and a water supply pipe located on top of and connected to the collection tank, and a transmission pipe located at the bottom of the collection tank, with both ends of the transmission pipe connected to the collection tank and the drinking water trough, respectively.
[0010] Preferably, the drinking trough is tilted and the inner walls of the four baffles are provided with rectangular flow channels.
[0011] Preferably, the water in the collection tank flows into the drinking trough through the transmission pipe. Under the action of gravity, the water flows in the drinking trough and passes through the rectangular groove until the drinking trough is filled.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] With the design of the segmented cleaning structure, when cleaning large impurities in the drinking tank, the cylinder only needs to drive the connecting plate, connecting block and filter screen to move upward. During the upward movement, the filter screen will pick up the large impurities in the drinking tank, thereby reducing the tediousness of manual retrieval.
[0014] Meanwhile, after the retrieval operation is completed, the filter screen moves down and resets with the cylinder. During this process, the through-hole column squeezes out the impurities blocking the filter holes through the filter holes on the filter screen, ensuring that the filter holes are unobstructed. In this way, when the upward retrieval operation is performed again, the water can flow smoothly into the drinking trough through the filter holes, ensuring normal water supply. Large impurities floating on the water surface will be intercepted and retrieved by the filter screen, achieving efficient separation of impurities and water. Since the through-hole column is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the drinking trough and its height is reasonably designed to match the filter screen, it will not affect the animals' normal drinking. Thus, without affecting the livestock's subsequent daily drinking behavior, it can continuously ensure the cleanliness of the water in the drinking trough and maintain a stable water supply.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to Figures 1 to 5. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] It should be noted that if any direction is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, the direction shown in the accompanying drawings shall prevail. For example, front and back shall be based on Figure 1, specifically the left side of Figure 1 as front and the right side of Figure 1 as back. At the same time, as shown in Figure 2, the left and right directions are generally considered as horizontal, and the up and down directions shown in the figure are considered as vertical. If a specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This embodiment provides a segmented drinking trough suitable for mountainous livestock farms, including a drinking trough 1, a water transmission structure 2 on the left side of the drinking trough 1, and a segmented cleaning structure 3 inside the drinking trough 1.
[0026] The segmented cleaning structure 3 includes a cylinder 31 installed on the front of the water tank 1, through-hole columns 32 arranged in a filling array on the inner bottom wall of the water tank 1, and four sliding grooves opened on both sides of the inner wall of the water tank 1. The inner walls of the four sliding grooves are slidably connected to baffles 33, and the output end of the cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 34.
[0027] In the drinking water process of mountainous livestock farms, the surrounding environment is often lined with straw. When animals drink, the straw easily falls into the drinking trough 1 and gradually accumulates. This accumulated straw not only seriously affects water quality but also breeds bacteria, endangering the health of livestock. Traditional cleaning methods rely on manual operation, which consumes a lot of manpower and time. To address this issue, this solution adopts an innovative segmented cleaning structure 3. The cylinder 31 is activated, which moves the connecting plate 34 and connecting block 35 upward, thereby moving the connected filter screen 36 upward. During the upward movement of the filter screen 36, large floating impurities in the drinking trough 1 can be effectively scooped up, achieving initial cleaning. When the filter screen 36 completes the scooping operation and moves back to its original position, the through-hole column 32 set in the bottom wall of the drinking trough 1 will accurately pass through the filter screen 36. The filter screen 36 is designed to remove impurities that clog it, ensuring that the filter screen remains unobstructed and laying the foundation for smooth water flow and impurity removal. In daily maintenance, simply raising the filter screen 36 periodically to remove the impurities attached to it can effectively maintain the water quality of the drinking tank 1. When a thorough cleaning of the drinking tank 1 is required, the filter screen 36 can be completely lifted, and staff can use a high-pressure water gun to thoroughly rinse the inside of the drinking tank 1. This combination of daily cleaning and deep cleaning greatly simplifies the manual cleaning process, significantly improves cleaning efficiency, and ensures the stability of the water quality in the drinking tank 1.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, five connecting blocks 35 are fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 34, and a filter screen 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting blocks 35. The inner wall of the filter screen 36 has filter holes that are adapted to the through-hole column 32. The water transmission structure 2 includes a collection tank 21 and a water inlet pipe 22 located on top of the collection tank 21 and connected to it, and a transmission pipe 23 located at the bottom of the collection tank 21. The transmission pipe 23 is located at the bottom of the collection tank 21, and water enters through the collection tank 21 under the action of gravity. After entering the transmission pipe 23, the water enters the drinking trough 1 to ensure the stability of the water volume in the drinking trough 1. The two ends of the transmission pipe 23 are connected to the collection box 21 and the drinking trough 1 respectively. The drinking trough 1 is tilted and the inner walls of the four baffles 33 are provided with rectangular flow channels. The four baffles 33 divide the internal space of the drinking trough 1 into five places. The water in the collection box 21 flows into the drinking trough 1 through the transmission pipe 23. Under the action of gravity, the water flows in the drinking trough 1 and passes through the rectangular channels until the drinking trough 1 is filled.
[0030] Work steps
[0031] First, water is injected into the collection tank 21 through the water inlet pipe 22. Under the action of gravity, the water in the collection tank 21 flows into the inclined drinking trough 1 through the transmission pipe 23. The water flows through the rectangular flow channel on the inner wall of the baffle 33 until the drinking trough 1 is full, ensuring a stable water volume in the drinking trough 1. In daily use in the livestock farm, animals drinking water causes impurities such as straw to fall into the drinking trough 1. When cleaning is required, the cylinder 31 installed on the front of the drinking trough 1 is activated. The output end of the cylinder 31 drives the connecting plate 34 to move upward. The connecting plate 34 drives the filter screen 36 to rise synchronously through the connecting block 35. During the upward movement of the filter screen 36, large impurities floating in the water trough 1 are lifted up. Subsequently, the cylinder 31 drives the filter screen 36 to move down and reset. At this time, the through-hole column 32 on the bottom wall of the water trough 1 precisely passes through the filter holes on the filter screen 36, squeezing out the impurities blocking the filter holes and keeping the filter holes unobstructed. As the usage time increases, the water trough 1 needs to be deeply cleaned. The filter screen 36 is completely lifted, and the staff uses a high-pressure water gun to thoroughly rinse the inside of the water trough 1 to wash away the residual impurities in the trough, maintain water quality stability, and provide clean drinking water for livestock in mountainous farms.
