Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of poultry breeding equipment, and specifically relates to an automatic spraying device for dry-raised ducks that can simulate hydroponics. Background Technology

[0002] Since the release of the "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan" in my country, the governance of the national water environment has received unprecedented attention. Environmental protection departments across the country have launched campaigns to regulate waterfowl aquaculture, implementing measures such as "driving ducks ashore" and "driving ducks onto perches," and gradually promoting large-scale dry-land duck farming. However, ducks are waterfowl, and the practice of raising ducks in water has been deeply ingrained for thousands of years. Therefore, the concept of "driving ducks onto perches" in duck farming needs to be changed.

[0003] Currently, duck hydroponics suffers from drawbacks such as extensive management, environmental pollution, large water and land consumption, and low production levels and economic benefits, making it difficult to adapt to the intensive, standardized, automated, and factory-style development of the duck industry. Furthermore, dry-land duck farming is gradually replacing hydroponics. However, under dry-land farming, some farmers still adhere to traditional farming concepts, providing ducks with small bathing pools or troughs. This bathing water is often contaminated with duck secretions and then consumed by the ducks, making it impossible to maintain clean drinking water. Many farmers neglect the ducks' natural inclination to enjoy water, play in it, and preen their feathers, failing to provide bathing water. This fails to meet the ducks' physiological needs for water, preening, and maintaining their preen glands, leading to matted, broken, and even lost feathers, reducing the value of culled ducks by up to 30% and severely impacting farming efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the current dry-land duck farming method, this utility model provides an automatic spraying device for dry-land duck farming to solve the problem of the lack of automatic water replenishment and spraying devices in the existing farming method.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the inventors, combining years of work experience and through multiple experiments and continuous improvements, based on the living habits of egg-laying ducks, finally designed an automatic sprinkler system for dry-rearing egg-laying ducks that can simulate hydroponics, as detailed below:

[0006] An automatic sprinkler system for dry-raised laying ducks includes a duck house floor and a water supply tank. The top of the duck house floor has crisscrossing drainage channels. A grid floor is fixedly installed on the top of the duck house floor. A mounting frame is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the duck house floor, and equidistant guide rails are fixedly installed on the front side of the mounting frame. Sliding pipe seats are slidably installed at the bottom of each guide rail, and spray nozzles are fixedly installed at the bottom of each sliding pipe seat, with the spray nozzles curving forward and downward. A sipping pipe compartment is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the duck house floor, and a water supply pipe is fixedly installed on one side inside the sipping pipe compartment. A solenoid valve A is connected to a pipe at the bottom of the water supply tank; the other end of the solenoid valve A is connected to the water supply pipe.

[0007] More preferably, an electric cylinder is fixedly installed on the lower rear side of the mounting bracket, and the telescopic end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the intermediate sliding tube seat; a connecting plate is fixedly installed between each group of sliding tube seats.

[0008] More preferably, the mounting bracket has an integrated pipe fixed on the lower rear side, and a flexible hose is provided between the top of the integrated pipe and the rear end of the spray nozzle.

[0009] More preferably, the front end of the water sip chamber is provided with a duck head groove; an arc-shaped inner water tank is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the water sip chamber, the water supply pipe is bent downwards, and the bottom opening of the water supply pipe is located in the inner water tank.

[0010] More preferably, a one-way valve is fixedly connected to the top of the water replenishment tank.

[0011] More preferably, a solenoid valve B is connected to the top of the water tank via a pipe, and a solenoid valve C is connected to the other end of the solenoid valve B via a three-way pipe; the other end of the solenoid valve C is connected to the integrated pipe via a pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) This utility model realizes the physiological needs and living habits that ducks can only satisfy when they are immersed in water, and achieves the good effect of independent supply of drinking water, sipping water and shower water, and cleanliness throughout the process. Shower water is collected centrally through drainage ditches, treated harmlessly and utilized as a resource, scientifically utilizing water resources and efficiently protecting the ecological environment. It not only meets the ducks' need for clean drinking water, but also conforms to the ducks' habits of liking water, playing in water, and preening feathers. It is also water-saving, ecological and efficient, and helps the duck industry to scale up, ecologically transform and upgrade and develop in a high-quality manner.

[0014] (2) When feeding water, this utility model uses the principle of air pressure balance to achieve automatic water replenishment. The water level can be stabilized at the position aligned with the bottom of the water replenishment pipe. After the water level drops, it can be automatically replenished. When the preset water level is reached, the water will stop flowing. There is no need for frequent manual operation. This ensures that the ducks can always reach into the duck head trough to drink water and avoids water waste.

[0015] (3) The spraying process of this utility model forms a fan-shaped water mist by setting the spray flat sprayer at an angle, which can accurately rinse the front of the duck; with the electric cylinder driving the spraying device to move back and forth, it can cover all parts of the duck's body surface, ensuring that there are no dead corners in cleaning and improving the rinsing effect; the dust and impurities generated during rinsing can fall directly into the drainage trough through the grid floor and be discharged, avoiding the accumulation of dirt, effectively maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the device and the surrounding environment, and reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] To further improve the breeding income of dry-raised ducks and create a living environment suitable for their growth and production, it is urgent to design a dry-raised duck spraying device based on the ducks' living habits, so as to make the ducks' feathers shiny and intact and optimize their appearance.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5As shown: An automatic sprinkler system for dry-raised ducks includes a duck house floor 1 and a water tank 5; the top of the duck house floor 1 is provided with a crisscrossing drainage trough 101, and a grid floor 2 is fixedly installed thereon; in addition, a mounting frame 3 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the duck house floor 1, and a guide rail frame 301 is fixedly installed on the front side of the mounting frame 3 at equal intervals. A sliding tube seat 303 is slidably installed at the bottom of each guide rail frame 301, and a spray nozzle 305 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each sliding tube seat 303. The spray nozzle 305 turns forward and downward.

[0027] An electric cylinder 302 is fixedly installed on the lower rear side of the mounting bracket 3. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 302 is fixedly connected to the intermediate sliding tube seat 303. A connecting plate 304 is fixedly installed between each set of sliding tube seats 303. An integrated pipe 306 is also fixedly installed on the lower rear side of the mounting bracket 3. A flexible hose is installed between the top of the integrated pipe 306 and the rear end of the spray nozzle 305.

[0028] Furthermore, a water sipping chamber 4 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the duck house floor 1, and a water supply pipe 403 is fixedly installed on one side inside the water sipping chamber 4; a duck head trough 401 is opened at the front end of the water sipping chamber 4; an arc-shaped inner water tank 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the water sipping chamber 4, and the water supply pipe 403 is bent downwards, with the bottom opening of the water supply pipe 403 located in the inner water tank 402.

[0029] Finally, a solenoid valve A6 is connected to the bottom of the water supply tank 5 via a pipe, and the other end of the solenoid valve A6 is connected to the water supply pipe 403. A one-way valve 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the water supply tank 5. In addition, a solenoid valve B7 is connected to the top of the water supply tank 5 via a pipe, and a solenoid valve C8 is connected to the other end of the solenoid valve B7 via a three-way pipe; the other end of the solenoid valve C8 is connected to the integrated pipe 306 via a pipe.

[0030] The water circuit connection process of this device is as follows:

[0031] First, the tee connecting solenoid valve B7 and solenoid valve C8 has its other port connected to a water source supplied by a water pump.

[0032] Secondly, during the water feeding process, solenoid valve A6 is opened and solenoid valve B7 is closed. At this time, the water in the water replenishment tank 5 flows out automatically under gravity. Simultaneously, the water replenishment tank 5 draws in outside air due to the negative pressure generated inside to maintain balance. Water is discharged through the water replenishment pipe 403 and replenishes the inner water tank 402. The water replenishment process is automatically carried out by relying on air pressure balance. The water level will be replenished to a position aligned with the bottom of the water replenishment pipe 403. When the water level drops, the water replenishment pipe 403 will continue to dispense water, and when the water level exceeds the bottom of the water replenishment pipe 403, the water dispensing will stop. The ducks can then put their heads into the duck head trough 401 to drink water.

[0033] In addition, during the spray cleaning process, the solenoid valve C8 is opened, allowing water to directly enter the integrated pipe 306, then through a branch hose into the spray nozzle 305, where it is sprayed out in a fan-shaped mist to rinse the duck's surface. Because the spray nozzle 305 is angled, it sprays the duck's front side, ensuring effective rinsing.

[0034] It should be noted that the dust and impurities generated during the rinsing process will pass through the grid floor 2 and fall into the drain trough 101, and will eventually be discharged.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the electric cylinder 302 can drive the sliding tube seat 303 to move back and forth, so that each set of spray flat sprayers 305 moves back and forth to rinse, thus achieving a thorough cleaning of the duck.

[0037] The electric cylinder 302 can be replaced with other actuators capable of forward and backward driving as needed, as long as they can enable the sliding tube seat 303 to move forward and backward.

[0038] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0039] In this utility model, the three-way valve connecting solenoid valve B7 and solenoid valve C8 has another port connected to a water source, and a water pump is used to supply water.

[0040] When feeding water, open solenoid valve A6 and keep solenoid valve B7 closed. The water in water tank 5 will flow out automatically due to gravity. The negative pressure generated in water tank 5 will draw in outside air to maintain balance. Water will be discharged from water pipe 403 to replenish the inner water tank 402. It will automatically replenish to the position aligned with the bottom of water pipe 403 according to the air pressure balance. When the water level drops, it can continue to replenish automatically. Water will stop flowing when the water level does not exceed the bottom of water pipe 403.

[0041] The duck can sip water by sticking its head into the duck head trough 401;

[0042] At this time, the solenoid valve C8 is opened, and water is directly input into the integrated pipe 306, passing through the branch hose to the input spray nozzle 305, and sprayed out from the spray nozzle 305 to form a fan-shaped water mist to rinse the duck's body surface; the spray nozzle 305 is set at an angle so that it can spray the front of the duck to ensure the rinsing effect.

[0043] The electric cylinder 302 can drive the sliding tube seat 303 to move back and forth, so that each group of spray flat sprayers 305 can move back and forth to rinse and perform a thorough cleaning.

[0044] The washed-off dust and debris fall through the grid floor 2 into the drain trough 101 and are discharged. A level gauge is installed inside the water supply tank 5. When the water level is insufficient, the solenoid valve A6 is automatically closed and the solenoid valve B7 is opened to replenish water. Excess air in the water supply tank 5 will be automatically discharged through the one-way valve 501.
