Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pig drinking devices, and in particular to a drinking device for free-range pigs in mountainous terrain. Background Technology

[0002] Free-range pigs refer to pigs that are allowed to roam freely in a natural environment, such as in mountainous areas or places with ample space for activity.

[0003] Patent CN220630598U discloses a pigsty water trough. It includes a trough body with a shell mounted on its upper side. A drinking window is opened on the front side of the shell, and a hinged cover is connected to the top of the drinking window. An ultraviolet lamp is installed at the top inside the shell. When using this patent, water is poured into the trough body, and the water can be drained by opening a valve on the drain pipe. However, this existing patent still has some shortcomings in practical use. When pigs drink using this patent, impurities from their mouths are carried into the water. These impurities adhere to the inner wall of the trough body and tend to accumulate in the corners within the trough body, creating cleaning dead zones and increasing the complexity of cleaning. Inadequate cleaning can harm the health of the pigs.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a drinking water device for free-range pigs that has both dead corner and inner wall cleaning functions. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing patents that allow pigs to drink water by bringing impurities from their mouths into the water, which then adhere to the inner wall of the water trough and tend to accumulate in the corners, creating cleaning dead zones and increasing the complexity of cleaning, and potentially harming the pigs' health if cleaning is inadequate, this invention provides a mountain drinking water device for free-range pigs with dual cleaning functions for dead zones and inner walls.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a mountain drinking water device for free-range pigs, comprising a support frame, a water tank, connecting pipes, water outlets, an electronic valve, and a drinking frame. The water tank is fixedly connected to the support frame, and two connecting pipes are connected to the water tank. Multiple water outlets are connected to the connecting pipes, and an electronic valve is installed on the connecting pipes. The drinking frame is fixedly connected to the support frame. The device also includes a servo motor, a lead screw, and a lifting plate. The servo motor is mounted on the support frame, and a lead screw is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor via a coupling. A lifting plate is threaded onto the lead screw, and the lifting plate slides within the drinking frame.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a support frame, a pedal, a return spring, and a button. Two support frames are fixedly connected to the drinking cup. A pedal is slidably installed inside the support frame. Two return springs connect the pedal to the adjacent support frame. A button is installed inside the support frame and is electrically connected to the electronic valve.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes an electric slide rail, an electric slider, and a scraper. The electric slide rail is mounted on the support frame, the electric slider is mounted on the electric slide rail, the electric slider slides on the electric slide rail, and the scraper is mounted on the electric slider.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes anti-slip mats, with anti-slip mats embedded in the pedals.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes light strips, which are installed on the support frame.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes transparent panels; two transparent panels are embedded in the water tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the water tank is equipped with a water inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, a limit block is fixedly connected to the lead screw.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. By starting the servo motor, the output shaft of the servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting plate on itself to move upward. As the lifting plate moves upward, it carries out the impurities deposited in the drinking cup, and the lifting plate can scrape out the impurities on the inner wall of the drinking cup, thereby preventing impurities from accumulating in the corner of the inner wall of the drinking cup for a long time and ensuring its cleaning effect.

[0015] 2. By pressing the button by squeezing the pedal downwards with the weight of the wild boar, the two return springs are compressed, which activates the electronic valve in the control module inside the button, thus automatically adding water and preventing the water in the drinking basket from being drunk up.

[0016] 3. By activating the electric slide rail, the electric slide rail drives the electric slider on its own to move. As the electric slider moves, it drives its scraper to move to the right, so that the scraper automatically scrapes off the impurities on the lifting plate, thereby speeding up the work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] References to embodiments herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: A mountain drinking water device for free-range pigs, see reference. Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a support frame 1, a water tank 2, connecting pipes 3, water outlets 4, an electronic valve 5, and a drinking frame 6. The water tank 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support frame 1. The connecting pipes 3 are symmetrically connected to the bottom of the water tank 2. Multiple water outlets 4 are evenly spaced on the connecting pipes 3. An electronic valve 5 is installed at the left end of the connecting pipes 3. The drinking frame 6 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support frame 1. Two connecting pipes 3 are located above the drinking frame 6. The system also includes a servo motor 7, a lead screw 8, and a lifting plate 9. The servo motor 7 is bolted to the lower part of the support frame 1. The lead screw 8 is installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 7 through a coupling. The lifting plate 9 is threaded onto the lead screw 8 and slides within the drinking frame 6.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes light strips 18, with light strips 18 installed on both the front and rear sides of the upper part of the support frame 1.

[0027] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a transparent plate 19, with the transparent plate 19 embedded on both the front and rear sides of the water tank 2.

[0028] See Figures 2-4 As shown, a water inlet is provided on the left side of water tank 2, through which water can be added to water tank 2.

[0029] See Figures 2-5As shown, a limit block is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 8 to prevent the lifting plate 9 from falling off the lead screw 8.

[0030] When this device is needed, first inject an appropriate amount of water into the water tank 2 through the water inlet. The remaining water level in the water tank 2 can be observed through the transparent plate 19. Then, open the electronic valve 5 to allow the water in the water tank 2 to flow into the connecting pipe 3. Finally, the water is discharged from the water outlet 4 and falls into the drinking frame 6, allowing the free-range pigs to drink the water in the drinking frame 6. When the drinking frame 6 needs to be cleaned, start the servo motor 7. The output shaft of the servo motor 7 drives the lead screw 8 to rotate, causing the lead screw 8 to drive the lifting plate 9 on itself to move upward. As the lifting plate 9 moves upward, it carries out the impurities deposited in the drinking frame 6. The lifting plate 9 can also scrape off the impurities on the inner wall of the drinking frame 6, thus preventing impurities from accumulating in the inner wall of the drinking frame 6 for a long time and ensuring its cleaning effect. After cleaning, drive the output shaft of the servo motor 7 to drive the lead screw 8 to reverse, so that the lifting plate 9 moves back to its original position. The light strip 18 can provide illumination at night.

[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a support frame 10, a pedal 11, a return spring 12, and a button 13. The support frame 10 is welded to both the front and rear sides of the drinking cup 6. The pedal 11 is slidably installed inside the support frame 10. Two return springs 12 are connected between the pedal 11 and the adjacent support frame 10. A button 13 is installed at the bottom inside the support frame 10. The button 13 contains a control module and is electrically connected to the electronic valve 5. The button 13 is located below the pedal 11.

[0032] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip pad 17, which is embedded in the top of the pedal 11.

[0033] When the free-range pig drinks water, it moves above the pedal 11, pressing the pedal 11 downwards to press the button 13. The two return springs 12 are compressed, causing the control module inside the button 13 to activate the electronic valve 5, thus automatically adding water and preventing the water in the drinking basket 6 from running out. After the free-range pig finishes drinking and leaves the pedal 11, the two return springs 12 move the pedal 11 upwards back to its original position. At the same time, the control module inside the button 13 closes the electronic valve 5, and the anti-slip pad 17 increases the friction between the pig's hoof and the pedal 11 to prevent the free-range pig from slipping.

[0034] See Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, it also includes an electric slide rail 14, an electric slider 15, and a scraper 16. The electric slide rail 14 is installed on the right side of the support frame 1 by bolt connection. The electric slide rail 14 is located above the two connecting pipes 3. The electric slider 15 is installed on the electric slide rail 14 and slides on the electric slide rail 14. The scraper 16 is installed on the electric slider 15.

[0035] When the lifting plate 9 is raised to the designated position, the electric slide rail 14 is activated. The electric slide rail 14 drives the electric slider 15 on itself to move. As the electric slider 15 moves, it drives its scraper 16 to move to the right, so that the scraper 16 automatically scrapes off the impurities on the lifting plate 9, thereby speeding up the work efficiency. After cleaning is completed, the electric slide rail 14 can be turned off.

[0036] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
