Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent integrated cooling and heating animal drinking water device, belonging to the field of drinking water. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming and production management, the amount of water consumed and its temperature in different seasons directly affect the health of cattle, making it a crucial aspect of feeding and management that is often overlooked. Studies show that the drinking water temperature for cattle in winter should not be lower than 10℃. If watering devices are not insulated in winter, they are prone to freezing. Drinking cold water in winter can cause various diseases in cattle, leading to decreased milk production or poor growth in beef cattle. More importantly, in the hot summer, cattle are susceptible to heat stress.

[0003] When the water temperature is between 10 and 15°C, it can effectively help cattle lower their body temperature without irritating their stomachs due to excessively low water temperature. At the same time, water at this temperature tastes better, attracting cattle to drink more, which helps replenish the water lost through sweating and other means, maintains the cattle's body water balance, and thus alleviates heat stress.

[0004] With the development of the industrial age, animal husbandry has gradually entered the era of electrification and intelligentization, giving rise to various kinds of breeding machinery and equipment. Improving the economic efficiency of the breeding industry, increasing energy utilization, relieving the physical labor of daily breeding managers, and providing animals with sufficient and appropriately priced drinking water have become urgent priorities.

[0044] See Figures 1 to 6This utility model relates to an intelligent integrated cooling and heating animal drinking device, comprising: a drinking trough 16, with an inlet assembly and a drain plug 17 installed inside the drinking trough 16; a heat exchange tube 2, fixedly installed on the inner side of the drinking trough 16 near the bottom, placing the heat exchange tube in the water to effectively avoid energy loss and achieve the best energy-saving state; an integrated cooling and heating unit 14, installed on the outside of the drinking trough 16, connected to the heat exchange tube 2 through a refrigerant inlet pipe 13 and a refrigerant outlet pipe 12; a polyurethane foam insulation board 10, installed in the bottom interlayer of the drinking trough 16 through a foam board fixing component 11; a temperature sensor 9, patch-mounted on the bottom of the drinking trough 16, used to monitor the water temperature in real time and transmit the signal to the controller, thereby controlling the operation of the integrated cooling and heating unit 14; and a protective component, fixed to the side of the drinking trough 16 to protect the drinking trough 16.

[0045] Based on the above structural design, the following advantages are achieved:

[0046] 1. Integrated design: The drinking water tank body 16 integrates the water inlet component and the drain plug 17, which facilitates water level control and drainage, simplifies the overall structure, and makes installation and maintenance easier.

[0047] 2. High-efficiency heat exchange system: The heat exchange tube 2 is installed on the inner side of the drinking trough 16 near the bottom, which can directly contact the water.

It is a multi-purpose unit, reducing the footprint and cost of the equipment.

[0049] 4. Excellent thermal insulation performance: The polyurethane foam insulation board 10 is installed in the bottom interlayer of the drinking water tank body 16, which can effectively reduce heat loss, maintain stable water temperature, and reduce energy consumption.

[0050] 5. Precise temperature control: The temperature sensor 9 is patch-mounted at the bottom of the water tank 16 to monitor the water temperature in real time and transmit the signal to the controller, thereby controlling the operation of the integrated cooling and heating unit 14 to achieve precise temperature regulation.

[0051] 6. Safety protection: The protective components are fixed to the side of the drinking trough 16 to prevent animals or external objects from colliding with and damaging the drinking trough, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0052] 7. Modular installation: All components, such as heat exchange tube 2, integrated cooling and heating unit 14, polyurethane foam insulation board 10, temperature sensor 9 and protective components, adopt modular design, which facilitates installation, disassembly and maintenance, and improves the reliability and maintainability of the equipment.

[0053] 8. High adaptability: The overall structure is reasonably designed and can adapt to different breeding environments and conditions, providing animals with healthy and comfortable drinking water conditions, which helps to improve breeding efficiency.

[0054] The integrated cooling and heating unit 14 is rectangular in shape. The air inlet and outlet of the integrated cooling and heating unit 14 are arranged along its length, which not only saves installation space, but also effectively prevents dirt from entering, which can ensure the cleanliness of the equipment and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0055] The heat exchange tube 2 has a double U-shaped structure and is made of 304 stainless steel. The heat exchange tube 2 is installed by the heat exchange tube fixing clip 1. Its double U-shaped structure extends along the length of the water tank body 16 and is sealed to the water tank body 16 by the heat exchange tube sealing gasket 3. The double U-shaped design allows the cooling and heating to be transferred to the water quickly, which means that the cooling and heating efficiency can be optimized.

[0056] The temperature sensor 9 integrates an anti-dry-burn function and is patch-mounted at the bottom of the water trough 16. The signal acquisition end is innovatively designed to not contact the water, ensuring safety and stable performance. During winter heating, the temperature inside the heat exchange tube remains constant, reducing the risk of scalding cattle and further guaranteeing safety.

[0057] The water inlet assembly includes a water inlet float valve 4 and a ball valve 5. The ball valve 5 is installed on the drinking water tank 16, and the water inlet float valve 4 is installed at the water outlet port of the ball valve. The water inlet float valve 4 is connected to an external water source through the ball valve 5 and can automatically adjust the water supply according to the water level.

[0058] The protective components include side baffles 7, guard plates 8, and triangular guard plates 15. The side baffles 7, guard plates 8, and triangular guard plates 15 are arranged around the perimeter of the drinking water tank 16. They are all made of 304 stainless steel, have smooth surfaces, and are fixed to the drinking water tank 16 with bolts. The three sides are designed for protection, which increases the convenience and safety of the equipment.

[0059] A closable top cover is installed on one side of the drinking water tank 16, and the top cover and the drinking water tank 16 form a space to protect the ball valve and the inlet float valve.

[0060] A stainless steel latch 6 is installed between the top cover and the drinking trough body 16. The locking position of the stainless steel latch 6 is immersed in water. The locking and opening of the top cover is made of pure stainless steel, which is simple and convenient to operate and has good locking security. The stainless steel latch is placed in the water, making it less likely to be touched by animals, thus improving safety.

[0061] The top cover is connected to the drinking trough body 16 by a long 304 stainless steel hinge, which has high strength and good impact resistance.

[0062] The working principle of this intelligent integrated cooling and heating animal drinking device is as follows:

[0063] (1) Installation and initial setup: Ensure that the water tank 16 is installed correctly, and that all components such as the water inlet assembly, drain plug 17, heat exchange tube 2, integrated cooling and heating unit 14, polyurethane foam insulation board 10, temperature sensor 9 and protective components are installed in place, and that the external power supply and water source are connected.

[0064] (2) Automatic water replenishment process: When the water level is lower than the set value, the inlet float valve 4 automatically opens and connects to the external water source through the ball valve 5 for water replenishment. After the water level reaches the set value, the inlet float valve 4 automatically closes and stops water replenishment.

[0065] (3) Temperature monitoring and control:

[0066] Temperature sensor 9 monitors the water temperature inside the drinking water tank 16 in real time.

[0067] When the water temperature is lower than the set lower limit, the temperature sensor 9 sends a signal to activate the heating function of the integrated cooling and heating unit 14.

[0068] The integrated cooling and heating unit 14 inputs heated refrigerant into the heat exchange tube 2 through the refrigerant inlet pipe 13.

[0069] The hot refrigerant inside heat exchange tube 2 exchanges heat with the water to raise the water temperature.

[0070] When the water temperature reaches the set upper limit, the temperature sensor 9 sends a signal to stop heating.

[0071] (4) Cooling process (summer):

[0072] When the water temperature exceeds the set upper limit, the temperature sensor 9 sends a signal to activate the cooling function of the integrated cooling and heating unit 14.

[0073] The integrated cooling and heating unit 14 inputs the cooled refrigerant into the heat exchange tube 2 through the refrigerant inlet pipe 13.

[0074] The refrigerant in heat exchange tube 2 exchanges heat with the water, thus lowering the water temperature.

[0075] When the water temperature reaches the set lower limit, the temperature sensor 9 sends a signal to stop cooling.

[0076] (5) Anti-dry-burning protection: The temperature sensor 9 with integrated anti-dry-burning function monitors the water temperature in real time. When the water temperature is higher than the program set value, the sensor automatically cuts off the power supply of the integrated cooling and heating unit 14 to prevent dry burning and damage to the equipment.

[0077] (6) Safety protection: The protective components (side baffle 7, guard plate 8, triangular guard plate 15) protect the drinking trough 16 from collisions and damage by animals or external objects. The stainless steel latch 6 ensures that the top cover is tightly closed to prevent animals from touching the internal components, and the locking position is immersed in water to prevent animals from touching it.

[0078] (7) Thermal insulation and energy saving: The polyurethane foam insulation board 10 effectively reduces heat loss, maintains stable water temperature, and reduces energy consumption. The heat exchange tube 2 is installed close to the bottom and is in direct contact with the water, which reduces energy loss and improves heat exchange efficiency.

[0079] 8. Cleaning and Maintenance: The drinking water tank 16 is made of 304 stainless steel with a smooth surface that is easy to clean. The modular design of each component facilitates disassembly and maintenance, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0080] This utility model is an intelligent integrated cooling and heating animal drinking device that can automatically adjust the water temperature according to seasonal and ambient temperature changes, providing suitable drinking conditions for animals. It is also characterized by high efficiency, energy saving, safety and ease of maintenance.

[0081] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
