Description

Circulating filter constant temperature water tank for sheep farming Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circulating filter constant temperature water tank technology, specifically to a circulating filter constant temperature water tank for sheep farming. Background Technology

[0002] The circulating filter-type constant-temperature water tank for sheep farming provides clean, temperature-controlled drinking water for sheep through the coordinated operation of a heating system, a circulation system, a filtration system, and a control system. The heating system heats the water according to the temperature set by the control system. The circulation pump drives the water to circulate between the tank and the filtration system. The filtration system removes impurities and contaminants from the water, maintaining its cleanliness. The control system monitors and adjusts the water temperature, water level, and the operation of the circulation and filtration system in real time to ensure the normal operation of the water tank.

[0003] Utility model patent CN221749302U discloses a water-saving, constant-temperature water tank for black goat farming. This water-saving, constant-temperature water tank includes a constant-temperature water tank and a drinking chamber. The drinking chamber is composed of a first side plate, a second side plate, a bottom plate, and the side wall of the constant-temperature water tank. An electric heating water pump is fixedly installed on the bottom plate, and a suction pipe is connected to the inlet of the electric heating water pump. A filter box is inserted into the outlet and onto one side wall of the constant-temperature water tank. The filter box contains a filter element, and several permeable holes are formed on the bottom wall of the filter box. A water storage chamber is formed between the bottom plate and the bottom wall of the constant-temperature water tank. This device turns the goats' drinking water into circulating water. Circulating water prevents stagnant water from forming in the tank, avoiding bacterial growth. The circulating water is filtered, removing floating impurities, ensuring the goats drink fresh, clean water, reducing the impact on their health, and preventing the drinking water from freezing in winter.

[0004] Although the water-saving, temperature-controlled water tank used in black goat farming provides the goats with relatively hygienic circulating water, the device still has the following problems in actual use: Initially, the water is not filtered when connected to the external water source, resulting in poor water quality for the goats. Subsequent filtration can only remove larger impurities and is insufficient to remove odors, residual chlorine, organic matter, and some heavy metal ions, nor can it improve water quality. Therefore, we propose a circulating filtration temperature-controlled water tank for goat farming. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a circulating filter constant temperature water tank for sheep farming.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a circulating filter constant temperature water tank for sheep farming, including a tank body. The tank body has a drinking chamber and a water storage chamber distributed vertically inside. A filter chamber is provided on one side of the drinking chamber and is connected to the water storage chamber below. A circulating pump with its outlet extending into the drinking chamber is installed on the bottom side wall of the drinking chamber. A float valve connected to an external water source via a water pipe is fixedly installed on one side wall of the water storage chamber near the top surface. An electric heating tube is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage chamber. An overflow port for water to flow out and circulate is opened on the vertical side wall of the drinking chamber near the filter chamber. A filter cylinder is slidably engaged in the filter chamber. Several layers of filter elements are slidably inserted into the filter cylinder from top to bottom. A drain valve is connected to the lower end of the side wall of the water storage chamber away from the float valve via a water pipe.

[0007] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, a vacuum layer is provided inside the side wall of the drinking chamber, and a coarse filter element is fixedly installed inside the outlet pipe of the circulating pump extending into the drinking chamber.

[0008] In this setup, a vacuum layer is used to reduce the interaction of the device with the outside heat, thereby improving the heat preservation effect. The coarse filter can perform preliminary filtration of the water source, ensuring that the sheep can drink clean water that initially enters the drinking cavity.

[0009] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, the bottom of the circulating pump is connected to a suction pipe, the bottom end of the suction pipe is not in contact with the electric heating tube, and the height of the bottom end of the suction pipe is lower than the lowest point of the valve water level of the float valve.

[0010] This setting prevents the water suction pipe from being burned by the electric heating element and ensures that the water suction pipe can continuously draw water.

[0011] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, when the float of the float valve floats to the highest position, the height of the top surface of the float is less than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the drinking chamber, and when the float of the float valve floats to the highest position, the float valve closes and stops water intake.

[0012] In this setting, the water level in the tank is controlled by a float valve to maintain a stable water level.

[0013] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, the electric heating tube is laid flat in a serpentine shape on the bottom surface of the water storage cavity. A temperature sensor connected to the electric heating tube via a PLC controller signal is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage cavity. The temperature range of the temperature sensor is 0℃-50℃.

[0014] In this setting, the current temperature is monitored by a temperature sensor, which is used to control the temperature of the electric heating element to maintain a suitable temperature.

[0015] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, the water filter cylinder includes an inverted trapezoidal water collection tank and a hollow rectangular water filter pipe that are connected vertically. A sealing ring is fitted around the top surface of the water collection tank, and the size of the sealing ring is adapted to the inner wall size of the filter chamber.

[0016] In this setup, the gap between the water collection tank and the tank wall is sealed by the water collection tank and the sealing ring, preventing water containing impurities from entering the water storage chamber without filtration.

[0017] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, each of the two opposing inner sidewalls of the filter chamber is provided with a sliding groove, and each of the two opposing sidewalls at the top of the water collection tank is fixedly installed with a slider that is adapted to the size of the corresponding sliding groove.

[0018] In this design, the sliding groove and slider work together to hold the filter cartridge in place and make it easy to disassemble and clean.

[0019] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, the length of the overflow outlet is less than or equal to the width of the drinking chamber, and when the slider is located at the bottom of the trough, the top surface of the water collection trough is lower than the bottom surface of the overflow outlet;

[0020] In this setting, an overflow outlet that is smaller than or equal to the width of the drinking chamber ensures that all water flows into the filter cartridge.

[0021] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, a plurality of filter drawers, which are equal in number to the number of filter elements and are matched one by one, are slidably inserted into one side of the filter pipe from top to bottom. The top surfaces of the two opposite side walls inside the filter drawers are provided with drawer grooves. The filter elements are slidably snapped into the corresponding positions of the filter drawers. The two opposite side walls at the top of the filter elements are provided with protrusions that are adapted to the size of the drawer grooves. The filtration fineness of the plurality of filter elements arranged from top to bottom increases sequentially.

[0022] In this design, the drawer and protrusions work together to facilitate the removal of the filter element for cleaning and replacement. The progressively increasing filter fineness of the filter elements enhances filtration capacity while preventing impurities from clogging the filter.

[0023] In summary, this technical solution specifically discloses a circulating filter constant temperature water tank for sheep farming, which includes a drinking chamber, a circulating pump, a coarse filter element, a float valve, a filter cylinder, a water collection tank, a filter pipe, a filter element, and a water storage chamber. Water is introduced into the water storage chamber through the float valve and heated by an electric heating element. After the water is heated to a suitable temperature, the circulating pump starts to draw water through the coarse filter element into the drinking chamber. When the water level in the drinking chamber exceeds the bottom of the overflow outlet, the overflowing water flows into the filter cylinder for filtration. The filtered water then re-enters the water storage chamber, repeating the aforementioned process. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-4. The circulating filter constant temperature water tank for sheep farming includes a tank body. Inside the tank body, there are drinking chambers 1 and water storage chambers 2 distributed vertically. A filter chamber 3 connected to the water storage chamber 2 is located on one side of the drinking chamber 1. A circulating pump 21 with its outlet extending into the drinking chamber 1 is installed on the bottom side wall of the drinking chamber 1. A float valve 23 connected to an external water source via a water pipe is fixedly installed on one side wall of the water storage chamber 2 near the top. An electric heating tube 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage chamber 2. An overflow port 12 for water to flow out and circulate is opened on the vertical side wall of the drinking chamber 1 near the filter chamber 3. A filter cylinder 5 is slidably engaged in the filter chamber 3. Several layers of filter elements 57 are slidably inserted into the filter cylinder 5 from top to bottom. A drain valve 6 is connected to the lower end of the side wall of the water storage chamber 2 away from the float valve 23 via a water pipe.

[0039] In this example, as shown in Figure 2, a vacuum layer 4 is provided inside the side wall of the drinking chamber 1. A coarse filter element 11 is fixedly installed inside the outlet pipe of the circulation pump 21 extending into the drinking chamber 1. The vacuum layer can slow down the rate of water temperature decay in the drinking chamber 1 and significantly improve the heat preservation effect. The coarse filter element 11 can initially filter the water flow that initially enters the drinking chamber 1, ensuring that the initial water flow is drinkable for the sheep.

[0040] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the bottom of the circulating pump 21 is connected to a suction pipe 22. The bottom end of the suction pipe 22 does not contact the electric heating tube 24, and the height of the bottom end of the suction pipe 22 is lower than the lowest point of the valve water level of the float valve 23 to prevent the suction pipe 22 from being scalded by the electric heating tube 24. The bottom end of the suction pipe 22 is higher than the float valve 23 to ensure that the circulating pump 21 can continuously absorb water.

[0041] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, when the float of the float valve 23 floats to its highest position, the height of its top surface is less than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the drinking chamber 1. When the float of the float valve 23 floats to its highest position, the float valve 23 closes to stop water intake. The water level is controlled by the float valve 23. When the water level in the water storage chamber 2 is lower than the set value, the water inlet valve is automatically opened to replenish the water source. When the water level reaches the set value, the water inlet valve is closed to maintain the stability of the water level in the water tank.

[0042] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the electric heating tube 24 is laid flat in a serpentine shape on the bottom surface of the water storage chamber 2. A temperature sensor 25, which is connected to the electric heating tube 24 via a PLC controller signal, is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage chamber 2. The temperature sensor 25 has a sensing temperature range of 0℃-50℃, and its sensing range can cover the suitable drinking water temperature for sheep: 10℃-30℃. In this way, the water temperature is controlled by the electric heating tube 24 to be kept within a suitable range.

[0043] In this example, as shown in Figure 3, the water filter cylinder 5 includes an inverted trapezoidal water collection tank 51 and a hollow rectangular water filter pipe 52 connected vertically. A sealing ring 55 is fitted around the top surface of the water collection tank 51, and the size of the sealing ring 55 is adapted to the inner wall size of the filter chamber 3. The gap between the water collection tank 51 and the sealing ring 55 is sealed by the water collection tank 51 and the tank wall, ensuring that all the water flowing out from the overflow port 12 can enter the water filter cylinder 5, preventing water with impurities from entering the water storage chamber 2 without filtration.

[0044] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, each of the two opposing inner sidewalls of the filter chamber 3 has a sliding groove 31, and each of the two opposing sidewalls of the top of the water collection tank 51 has a slider 54 that is adapted to the size of the corresponding sliding groove 31. The sliding connection between the sliding groove 31 and the slider 54 serves to support the water collection tank 51 and makes it easy to remove for cleaning.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the length of the overflow outlet 12 is less than or equal to the width of the drinking chamber 1, and when the slider 54 is located at the bottom of the trough 31, the top surface of the water collection tank 51 is lower than the bottom surface of the overflow outlet 12. The bottom surface of the overflow outlet 12, which is less than or equal to the width of the drinking chamber, is higher than the top surface of the water collection tank 51, which ensures that all overflow water can be filtered by the filter tube 5 and then enter the water storage chamber 2.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that, as shown in Figure 4, several filter drawers 53, the same number as the preferred three filter elements 57, are slidably inserted into one side of the filter pipe 52 from top to bottom. Each filter drawer 53 has a drawer groove 56 on the top surface of its two opposite side walls. The filter elements 57 are slidably engaged in the corresponding positions of the filter drawers 53. Furthermore, each of the two opposite side walls at the top of the filter element 57 has protrusions 58 that match the size of the drawer groove 56. The filtration fineness of the three filter elements 57 arranged from top to bottom increases sequentially. The filter elements 57 and the filter drawers 53 slide together. The movable connection facilitates disassembly, cleaning, and replacement. The three filter elements arranged from top to bottom progressively increase in filtration fineness. Filter element 57 consists of a filter layer, an activated carbon layer, and a water softening layer, arranged from top to bottom. The preferred layers are polyester filter screen, activated carbon filter element, and ion exchange resin to achieve the following effects: effectively intercepting large particulate impurities in the water, removing odors, residual chlorine, organic matter, and some heavy metal ions from the water, softening the water, removing metal ions such as calcium and magnesium from the water, reducing water hardness, preventing scale formation in the water tank and pipes, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the circulating pump 21, float valve 23, electric heating tube 24, temperature sensor 25, drain valve 6 and other components involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle of this utility model. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a technology known in the art.

[0048] Working Principle: In this embodiment, when using the circulating filter-type constant temperature water tank for sheep farming, the drain valve 6 is closed, and the float valve 23 begins to draw water into the water storage chamber 2. At the same time, the electric heating tube 24 is turned on to heat the water. After the temperature sensor detects that the temperature has risen to a suitable level, the circulating pump 21 is turned on to draw water from the water storage chamber 2 through the suction pipe 22, which then passes through the coarse filter element 11 and enters the drinking chamber 1. When the water level in the drinking chamber 1 is higher than the overflow port 12, the water flows into the filter cylinder 5, is filtered through the three layers of filter elements 57, and then enters the water storage chamber 2 again. When the float of the float valve 23 reaches its highest position, the float valve 23 automatically closes to stop drawing water. When the filter cylinder 5 of the circulating filter-type constant temperature water tank for sheep farming needs to be cleaned, the filter pipe 52 is pulled out by lifting the water collection tank 51, and then the filter element 57 can be removed through the filter drawer 53. When the circulating filter-type constant temperature water tank for sheep farming needs to be drained after use, the float valve 23 is closed and the drain valve 6 is opened to drain the water.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
