Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy cow water trough technology, and in particular to a dairy cow water trough that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] When dairy cows drink from the water trough, feed particles attached to their mouths fall into the trough. Over time, this accumulates impurities and promotes bacterial growth, requiring cleaning and disinfection. Existing water troughs lack self-cleaning and disinfection functions, requiring manual cleaning and subsequent manual spraying of disinfectant, which is cumbersome. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a dairy cow water trough with automatic cleaning capabilities, saving manpower, self-disinfecting, and enhanced safety, thus overcoming current shortcomings and meeting current needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dairy cow water trough that is easy to clean, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A dairy cow water trough that is easy to clean includes a water storage tank, a cleaning frame, a lateral movement mechanism, and a disinfection mechanism. A drain pipe with a valve is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank. A cleaning frame is installed inside the water storage tank, and a brush is installed on the outside of the cleaning frame, the brush fitting against the inner wall of the water storage tank. A lateral movement mechanism for moving the cleaning frame is installed on the outside of the water storage tank. A disinfection mechanism is installed on the side of the water storage tank. The disinfection mechanism includes a top cover, ultraviolet lamps, a rotating shaft, a second motor, a first gear, and a second gear. Two ultraviolet lamps are installed on the top cover, and a rotating shaft is fixed to the lower end of the top cover, rotatably connected to the water storage tank. The second motor is fixed to the outside of the water storage tank, and a first gear is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor. A second gear meshing with the first gear is provided on one side of the first gear, and the second gear is fixed to the rotating shaft.
[0006] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is connected to one side of the water storage tank, and the water inlet pipe is connected to the external tap water through a pipeline.
[0007] Preferably, the lateral movement mechanism includes: a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a first motor, a transmission belt, a locking block, a connecting rod, a slider, and a slide rail. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are both rotatably connected to the outside of the water storage tank. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are connected by transmission belt. The first motor is fixed to the outside of the water storage tank. The output shaft of the first motor is fixed to the driving wheel. The locking block is fixed to the transmission belt. A connecting rod is fixed on the locking block. The connecting rod is fixed to the cleaning frame. A slider is fixed on the locking block. The slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail. The slide rail is fixed to the outside of the water storage tank.
[0008] Preferably, limit baffles are fixed at both ends of the slide rail.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This easy-to-clean dairy cow water trough stores tap water for the cows to drink. During cleaning, a first motor drives the drive wheel, driven wheel, and transmission belt to rotate. The transmission belt rotates, causing the locking block and adapter rod to move. The adapter rod moves the cleaning frame within the water trough, where a brush removes impurities. Then, the valve is opened, and the impurities are discharged with the water flow through the drain pipe. After cleaning, a second motor drives the first and second gears, which in turn rotate the shaft and top cover, causing the top cover to close onto the water trough. Finally, a UV lamp is activated to disinfect the water trough for half an hour. In summary, this utility model has an automatic cleaning function, saves manpower, and can self-disinfect and sterilize, resulting in higher safety. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0020] See Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, a dairy cow water trough that is easy to clean includes a water storage tank 1, a cleaning frame 4, a lateral movement mechanism 5, and a disinfection mechanism 6. A water inlet pipe 2 is connected to one side of the water storage tank 1, and the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to external tap water via a pipe. A drain pipe 3 is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, and a valve 301 is installed on the drain pipe 3. A cleaning frame 4 is provided inside the water storage tank 1, and a brush 401 is installed on the outside of the cleaning frame 4, the brush 401 being in contact with the inner wall of the water storage tank 1. A lateral movement mechanism 5 for moving the cleaning frame 4 is installed on the outside of the water storage tank 1. A disinfection mechanism 6 is also provided on the side of the water storage tank 1. The device is equipped with a disinfection mechanism 6, which includes: a top cover 601, ultraviolet lamps 602, a rotating shaft 603, a second motor 604, a first gear 605, and a second gear 606. Two ultraviolet lamps 602 are installed on the top cover 601. The rotating shaft 603 is fixed to the lower end of the top cover 601 and is rotatably connected to the water storage tank 1.
