[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a chick drinking device, including a water storage tank 1, with a base 2 connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 1. The water storage tank 1 is adjustable up and down relative to the base 2. The water storage tank 1 is used to store a large amount of water to reduce the frequency of water refilling by staff. Multiple guide pipes 12 are evenly arranged on the bottom side of the water storage tank 1, and multiple connecting pipes 14 are vertically arranged downwards on the side of the guide pipes 12. The connecting pipes 14 are connected to a drinking component 3. The guide pipes 12 and the connecting pipes 14 facilitate the addition of water to the drinking component 3, thereby facilitating drinking for the chicks. The drinking assembly 3 includes a water tray 31 and a connecting plug 32. The connecting plug 32 is fitted onto the water tray 31 and is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 14. The top of the water tray 31 is inserted into the top of the connecting plug 32. The drainage speed of the connecting pipe 14 into the water tray 31 decreases as the water volume in the water tray 31 increases. The drinking assembly 3 enables automatic water replenishment, ensuring that the water tray 31 always has water while preventing water from overflowing, thus avoiding water waste and ensuring that the chicks have sufficient water. A lid 4 is provided at the top opening of the water storage tank 1 for easy sealing of the top opening.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 A screw 11 is provided at the middle of the bottom of the water storage tank 1, which facilitates the threaded connection between the bottom of the water storage tank 1 and the base 2. A throttle valve 13 is provided at the end of the guide pipe 12 near the water storage tank 1 to control the opening and closing of the guide pipe 12.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 The base 2 has a connecting post 21 at the top center, and a threaded groove 22 in the middle of the connecting post 21. The screw 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 22. This structure of the base 2 is convenient for connecting to the water storage tank 1, and also makes it convenient for the water storage tank 1 to be height adjusted.

[0031] Please see Figure 4A connecting rod 311 is provided in the middle of the water pan 31. An end plate 312 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 311. A sealing gasket is provided on the bottom edge of the end plate 312. The diameter of the end plate 312 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 14. Multiple guide rods 313 are evenly provided on the bottom surface of the end plate 312. A spring 314 is provided at the bottom of the connecting post 21. A base plate 315 is provided at the bottom of the spring 314. A stud 321 is provided at the top of the connecting plug 32. A sleeve hole 322 is provided in the middle of the connecting plug 32. The sleeve hole 322 is fitted onto the connecting rod 311. The diameter of the sleeve hole 322 is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 311. Multiple slots 323 are provided at the top of the stud 321. The connecting post 21, in conjunction with the spring 314 and the end plate 312, is inserted into the inside of the slots 323. The main purpose of the water tray 31 and the connecting plug 32 is to facilitate automatic water replenishment. Water inside the connecting pipe 14 will slowly flow into the water tray 31 through the gap between the sleeve hole 322 and the connecting rod 311. As more and more water is added to the water tray 31, the weight of the water tray 31 will also increase. Under the influence of the gravity of the water tray 31, the end plate 312 will get closer and closer to the top surface of the stud 321. When the weight inside the water tray 31 reaches a certain value, the end plate 312 will press against the upper surface of the stud 321 under the force of gravity, thereby sealing the sleeve hole 322 and preventing water from continuing to enter the water tray 31. After the chicks drink water, the water volume decreases, the water tray 31 naturally becomes lighter, and at the same time the end plate 312 separates from the stud 321, and the water will flow into the water tray 31 through the sleeve hole 322, thus realizing automatic water replenishment. The selection of spring 314 is particularly important. The elasticity of spring 314 must ensure that the end plate 312 can press against the top of stud 321 before the water pan 31 is full. Otherwise, automatic water replenishment will not be possible, and water will overflow from the water pan 31.

[0032] Please see Figure 5 The bottom of the bucket lid 4 is provided with an adapter ring 41, which is threadedly connected to the top opening of the water storage tank 1, making it convenient to disassemble and use the bucket lid 4.

The connecting pipes 14 are connected to a drinking component 3. The guide pipes 12 and the connecting pipes 14 facilitate the addition of water to the drinking component 3, thereby facilitating drinking for the chicks. The drinking assembly 3 includes a water tray 31 and a connecting plug 32. The connecting plug 32 is fitted onto the water tray 31 and is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 14. The top of the water tray 31 is inserted into the top of the connecting plug 32. The drainage speed of the connecting pipe 14 into the water tray 31 decreases as the water volume in the water tray 31 increases. The drinking assembly 3 enables automatic water replenishment, ensuring that the water tray 31 always has water while preventing water from overflowing, thus avoiding water waste and ensuring that the chicks have sufficient water.

The sleeve hole 322 is fitted onto the connecting rod 311. The diameter of the sleeve hole 322 is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 311. Multiple slots 323 are provided at the top of the stud 321. The connecting post 21, in conjunction with the spring 314 and the end plate 312, is inserted into the inside of the slots 323. The main purpose of the water tray 31 and the connecting plug 32 is to facilitate automatic water replenishment. Water inside the connecting pipe 14 will slowly flow into the water tray 31 through the gap between the sleeve hole 322 and the connecting rod 311. As more and more water is added to the water tray 31, the weight of the water tray 31 will also increase. Under the influence of the gravity of the water tray 31, the end plate 312 will get closer and closer to the top surface of the stud 321. When the weight inside the water tray 31 reaches a certain value, the end plate 312 will press against the upper surface of the stud 321 under the force of gravity, thereby sealing the sleeve hole 322 and preventing water from continuing to enter the water tray 31. After the chicks drink water, the water volume decreases, the water tray 31 naturally becomes lighter, and at the same time the end plate 312 separates from the stud 321, and the water will flow into the water tray 31 through the sleeve hole 322, thus realizing automatic water replenishment. The selection of spring 314 is particularly important. The elasticity of spring 314 must ensure that the end plate 312 can press against the top of stud 321 before the water pan 31 is full. Otherwise, automatic water replenishment will not be possible, and water will overflow from the water pan 31.

[0038] Please see Figure 5 The bottom of the bucket lid 4 is provided with an adapter ring 41, which is threadedly connected to the top opening of the water storage tank 1, making it convenient to disassemble and use the bucket lid 4.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 It also includes a filter assembly 5. The barrel cover 4 has a threaded hole 42 in the middle. The filter assembly 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 42, which makes it convenient to disassemble and assemble the filter assembly 5 according to the usage requirements.

[0040] Please see Figure 6The filter assembly 5 includes a flow-draining connector 51 and a filter cartridge 52. The bottom end of the flow-draining connector 51 is threadedly connected to a threaded hole 42, and the top end of the filter cartridge 52 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the flow-draining connector 51. This structure facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the filter cartridge 52 and the cleaning of its interior. The bottom end of the flow-draining connector 51 is provided with a mounting ring 511 for easy connection to the threaded hole 42. The top end of the flow-draining connector 51 is provided with a flow-draining pipe 512, and the top end of the flow-draining pipe 512 is provided with a connecting cap 513 for easy connection to an external water supply pipe. The side of the filter cartridge 52 is evenly provided with filter holes 521 for easy filtration of impurities in the water. The top end of the filter cartridge 52 is provided with a threaded adapter 522, which is threadedly connected to the inner side of the mounting ring 511.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, adjust the height of the water storage tank 1 to a suitable height according to the usage requirements, and then fill the water storage tank 1 with water; after the water storage tank 1 is filled with water, the water flows into the guide pipe 12 and enters the drinking component 3 through the connecting pipe 14, and the chicks drink water through the drinking component 3. The drinking assembly 3 can automatically replenish water. Water inside the connecting pipe 14 slowly flows into the water tray 31 through the gap between the sleeve hole 322 and the connecting rod 311. As the water inside the water tray 31 increases, its weight also increases. Under the influence of the weight of the water tray 31, the end plate 312 will get closer and closer to the top surface of the stud 321. When the weight inside the water tray 31 reaches a certain value, the end plate 312 is pressed against the upper surface of the stud 321 by gravity, thereby sealing the sleeve hole 322 and preventing water from continuing to enter the water tray 31. After the chicks drink, the water volume decreases, and the water tray 31 naturally becomes lighter. At the same time, the end plate 312 disengages from the stud 321, and the water flow will flow back into the water tray 31 through the sleeve hole 322, thus achieving automatic water replenishment. Furthermore, as the chicks grow taller, to prevent them from stepping on the water tray 31, the height of the drinking assembly 3 can be indirectly increased by raising the water storage tank 1.

[0042] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application reduces the frequency of water replenishment by setting up a water storage tank 1 to store a large amount of water; at the same time, the water storage tank 1 is connected to multiple guide pipes 12, and each guide pipe 12 is connected to a drinking component 3. The drinking component 3 automatically replenishes water when the water is low and stops replenishing water due to gravity when the water is high. The structure is simple and does not require an electrical control structure, making it convenient to use; at the same time, the drinking component 3 is suspended, preventing chicks from easily entering the water tray 31; and the height of the water storage tank 1 and the base 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the drinking component 3, which is convenient to adjust the height of the drinking component 3 according to the size of the chicks.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
