Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock drinking trough technology, and in particular to a livestock drinking trough that can automatically replenish water. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farming, water troughs are one of the key pieces of equipment to ensure the healthy growth of livestock and poultry. Traditional water troughs mostly adopt an open design and rely on manual replenishment at regular intervals, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to maintain clean and stable water quality. With the expansion of farming scale and the increasing demand for automation, livestock water troughs with automatic water replenishment are gradually becoming the industry trend. These devices usually control the water level through float valves or electronic sensors to achieve a continuous water supply. However, their core function still focuses on automated water replenishment, and there is a lack of effective solutions for real-time filtration and maintenance of water quality. Especially in free-range or high-density farming scenarios, impurities such as feed residue and feces in the water source can easily pollute the water body. If not treated in time, they will directly endanger the health of livestock and poultry. Therefore, a water trough with both automatic water replenishment and high-efficiency filtration functions is needed to solve a series of problems caused by water pollution.

[0003] Existing automatic water replenishment troughs for livestock mainly rely on mechanical or electronic water level control principles. Mechanical structures often use a float valve system, where the float moves with the water level to drive the valve to open and close, achieving intermittent water replenishment. Electronic systems rely on a liquid level sensor and a solenoid valve linkage, triggering water replenishment through a preset threshold. In addition, some devices add simple filtration structures, such as fixed filters or sedimentation tanks, to intercept large particles of impurities. However, these filtration structures are mostly static designs, with fixed filter pore sizes that are not removable. After long-term use, they are easily clogged by impurities, requiring the machine to be stopped and disassembled for cleaning, which is cumbersome. At the same time, existing technologies rely on manual brushing or high-pressure washing to clean the sediment at the bottom of the trough, which is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to thoroughly remove dirt from the crevices.

[0004] The main problems with existing technologies are that the filtration structure has a single function and is difficult to maintain. The filters in traditional water troughs are mostly fixed, and once clogged, they need to be disassembled and cleaned with tools, or even the entire filter assembly needs to be replaced. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but during the cleaning interval, the clogged filter will obstruct the water flow, resulting in insufficient drinking water for livestock and poultry. Furthermore, unfiltered impurities that enter the water trough directly will be ingested by livestock and poultry, causing digestive system diseases. In addition, long-term accumulation of impurities will breed bacteria, accelerate water quality deterioration, and further threaten the health of livestock and poultry. Therefore, how to achieve rapid disassembly of the filter and efficient interception of impurities has become a key challenge to improve the practicality and hygiene performance of livestock water troughs. To address this, a livestock water trough with automatic water replenishment is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the water entering the main body of the water tank is filtered by a filter screen plate set inside the connecting block, effectively intercepting impurities. Pulling the pull block causes the sliding block and sliding column to slide inside the hollow column. Squeezing the spring causes the sliding column to disengage from the filter screen plate.

It solves the problem that if the water source is not filtered or the filter screen is clogged and difficult to clean in time, livestock and poultry will drink impurities that pollute the water source, affect their health, and even cause diseases. This improves the practicality, safety, and breeding efficiency of the drinking trough.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the filter frame collects impurities inside the water tank body. When cleaning the water tank body, pulling the handle two moves the filter frame and the clamping block to squeeze the clamping ball. The clamping ball, in conjunction with the limiting block, compresses the telescopic rod and the spring two, causing the clamping ball to break free from the restriction of the filter frame. This achieves the effect of quickly cleaning the deposited impurities inside the water tank, solving the problem that traditional drinking water tanks are difficult to clean at the bottom, leading to the growth of bacteria and corrosion of the inner wall of the water tank, which shortens the equipment life. This improves the durability and hygiene maintenance efficiency of the drinking water tank. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Reference Figures 4-6The cleaning components include a filter frame 15 and a handle 16. The filter frame 15 collects impurities deposited inside the main body 2 of the water tank, preventing impurities from contaminating the water. The handle 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter frame 15 at its bottom, facilitating manual removal and installation of the filter frame 15. The outer wall of the filter frame 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main body 2 of the water tank, allowing the filter frame 15 to move smoothly along the inner wall of the water tank. A locking block 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter frame 15 to fix its position. The side wall of the locking block 17 has a locking hole 18, which cooperates with the locking ball 20 to achieve a locking function. The inside of the main body 2 of the water tank has a locking groove 19, which engages with the locking block 17 and the locking groove 19 to ensure that the filter frame 15 is installed in place. The locking ball 20 is slidably connected inside the main body 2 of the water tank, and the locking ball 20 is used to lock the filter frame 15 by cooperating with the locking hole 18. A limiting block 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter frame 15 and the ball 20, limiting the movement range of the ball 20. The outer wall of the limiting block 21 is slidably connected to the inside of the water tank body 2, allowing the ball 20 to move smoothly. The ball 20 engages with the locking hole 18, realizing the quick fixing and release of the filter frame 15. A telescopic rod 22 is provided inside the water tank body 2. One end of the telescopic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting block 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of the water tank body 2, providing guidance and support for the ball 20. A spring 23 is provided on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 22. One end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting block 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of the water tank body 2. The spring 23 provides elasticity to keep the ball 20 engaged with the locking hole 18, ensuring the stable fixing of the filter frame 15.

[0037] Working principle: When the water level in the main body 2 of the water tank drops to a preset threshold, the control system triggers the solenoid valve 4 in the conveying component to open. The water source in the water tank 3 flows to the main body 2 of the water tank through the inlet pipe 6. During this process, the water flow needs to pass through the filter component inside the connecting block 5. The filter screen 7 can effectively intercept impurities such as mud and suspended solids in the water, ensuring that the water entering the main body 2 is clean. When the filter screen 7 needs to be replaced after a period of use, pull the pull block 13 outward. The pull block 13 drives the sliding block 11 and the sliding column 12 to slide inside the hollow column 10. The sliding block 11 compresses the spring 14 and deforms, causing the sliding column 12 to release the restriction on the filter screen 7. At this time, pull the handle 8 upward to quickly remove the filter screen 7 from the connecting block 5, completing the filter screen replacement and avoiding the filter screen clogging from affecting the filtration effect and water flow speed. During the daily use of the main body 2 of the water tank, the residue produced by livestock and poultry drinking water is removed. Food scraps and other impurities will gradually accumulate at the bottom. The filter frame 15 is set inside the main body 2 of the sink to collect these deposited impurities. When the main body 2 of the sink needs to be cleaned, pull the handle 16. The handle 16 moves the filter frame 15 and the locking block 17 upward. The locking block 17 squeezes the locking ball 20. After the locking ball 20 is subjected to force, it drives the limiting block 21 to squeeze the telescopic rod 22 and the second spring 23. The telescopic rod 22 retracts and the second spring 23 compresses, causing the locking ball 20 to disengage from the locking hole 18 and releasing the restriction on the filter frame 15. At this time, the filter frame 15 can be easily removed from the main body 2 of the sink to clean the impurities collected inside. After cleaning, the filter frame 15 is put back into the main body 2 of the sink. The locking block 17 is inserted into the locking slot 19. Under the elastic force of the second spring 23, the telescopic rod 22 extends, pushing the limiting block 21 and the locking ball 20 to reset. The locking ball 20 is re-locked into the locking hole 18, realizing the stable installation of the filter frame 15.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
