Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically to a livestock breeding drinking trough. Background Technology

[0002] In modern animal husbandry, the healthy growth and efficient breeding of livestock such as cattle and sheep have always been a focus of attention for farmers and related researchers. The digestive and absorptive capacity and stress response of cattle and sheep have a crucial impact on their growth, development, and overall health, and appropriate drinking water temperature plays a key role in this. To promote digestion and absorption, reduce stress responses, and effectively prevent disease, especially in cold weather, providing warm water for cattle and sheep is a common and important breeding practice.

[0003] Traditional methods of providing warm water to cattle and sheep rely primarily on manual labor. Workers must first heat the water to a suitable temperature using fuel, then pour the hot water into the previously cold water troughs. This process is cumbersome, involving multiple steps such as boiling and pouring water. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control water temperature and volume, potentially causing discomfort to the livestock and affecting their health and growth. Therefore, we propose a livestock water trough to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This application provides a livestock water trough, mainly to address the following issues with existing technologies: Firstly, from an efficiency perspective, the entire process involves multiple steps such as boiling and pouring water, making it cumbersome. Secondly, manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control water temperature and volume, which may lead to discomfort for cattle and sheep, affecting their health and growth performance. The application provides the following technical solution, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation:

[0025] A livestock water trough, comprising:

[0026] Combustion chamber 1, the bottom of one side of the combustion chamber 1 is an open structure, and the two sides are symmetrically hinged with chamber doors 2. The top side of the combustion chamber 1 is connected to a smoke exhaust pipe 3. The surface of the chamber door 2 is provided with a ventilation grille 201 below the support net 4.

[0027] The support net 4 is fixed inside the bottom side of the combustion chamber 1, and the dried cow dung is placed on the upper surface of the support net 4;

[0028] Water storage tank 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the other side of the combustion chamber 1;

[0029] A water supply assembly 6 is disposed on the upper side of the combustion chamber 1. The water supply assembly 6 is used to supply warm water to the water storage tank 5. The water supply assembly 6 includes a mounting plate 601 fixed inside the upper side of the combustion chamber 1. A hot water tank 602 is embedded in the middle of the mounting plate 601. The top of the hot water tank 602 extends outward from the combustion chamber 1. A hot water pipe 603 extending into the water storage tank 5 is connected to the bottom back side of the hot water tank 602. A first solenoid valve 604 is installed on the body of the hot water pipe 603. A water inlet pipe 605 is connected to one side of the hot water tank 602. A second solenoid valve 606 is installed on the water inlet pipe 605 near the hot water tank 602. The water inlet pipe 605 is also connected to a cold water pipe 607 extending to the water storage tank 5. A third solenoid valve 608 is installed on the cold water pipe 607. A control component is provided on one side of the combustion chamber 1. The control component is used to control the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 604, the second solenoid valve 606 and the third solenoid valve 608.

[0030] Workflow Description:

[0031] Step 1, Preparation:

[0032] Spread the dried cow dung evenly on the upper surface of the supporting net 4;

[0033] Ensure that the inlet pipe 605 in the water supply component 6 is connected to the municipal water supply system to facilitate the supply of water.

[0034] The second step is to transfer warm water to the water storage tank 5:

[0035] The dried cow dung on the support net 4 is ignited, and then the bin door 2 is closed to maintain a semi-enclosed environment inside the combustion bin 1, allowing the cow dung to continue burning under semi-ventilated conditions. The heat generated by the combustion heats the hot water tank 602 installed on the upper side inside the combustion bin 1 through heat transfer. According to the required water temperature in the water storage tank 5, the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 604, the second solenoid valve 606, and the third solenoid valve 608 are adjusted by the control components.

[0036] When hot water needs to be supplied to the water storage tank 5, the first solenoid valve 604 is opened so that the heated water flows from the hot water tank 602 into the water storage tank 5.

[0037] When it is necessary to add cold water to the water storage tank 5, close the second solenoid valve 606 and open the third solenoid valve 608, so that tap water can directly enter the water storage tank 5 through the cold water pipe 607. Through the above operation, the water temperature in the water storage tank 5 can be precisely controlled, thereby providing warm water to the drinking water tank.

[0038] This livestock water trough integrates functions such as combustion heating, water temperature regulation, and flue gas treatment, realizing fully automated control from water supply to warm water output. This greatly reduces the labor intensity of farmers. At the same time, it uses renewable energy to dry cow manure as fuel, which reduces the consumption of traditional energy and realizes the resource utilization of waste. In addition, by optimizing the combustion process and improving thermal efficiency, it reduces energy consumption and emissions, making it highly practical.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the control assembly includes a control box 609 mounted on the side wall of the combustion chamber 1. A temperature sensor 610 is mounted on the side wall of the water storage tank 5, with the sensing end of the temperature sensor 610 extending into the interior of the water storage tank 5. The input ends of the first solenoid valve 604, the second solenoid valve 606, the third solenoid valve 608, and the temperature sensor 610 are all electrically connected to the output end of the control box 609. More specifically, when the water temperature in the water storage tank 5 is too high, the control box 609 activates the temperature sensor 610. Signal 10 sends a command to open the third solenoid valve 608 and close the second solenoid valve 606. Cold water enters the water storage tank 5 directly through the cold water pipe 607 to lower the water temperature. When the water temperature in the water storage tank 5 is too low, the control box 609 sends a command to open the first solenoid valve 604, and hot water can enter the water storage tank 5 through the hot water pipe 603. It should be noted that the first solenoid valve 604 and the second solenoid valve 606 generally work synchronously, that is, the amount of cold water added to the hot water tank 602 by the inlet pipe 605 is equal to the amount of water lost by the hot water pipe 603.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the mounting plate 601 is provided with a smoke exhaust hole 6011, which is located on the side away from the smoke exhaust pipe 3. More specifically, because the smoke exhaust hole 6011 is located on the side away from the smoke exhaust pipe 3, the flow path of the flue gas in the combustion chamber 1 becomes more complex and circuitous. Compared with directly approaching the smoke exhaust pipe 3, the flue gas needs to travel a longer distance to be discharged, which significantly increases the residence time of the flue gas above the combustion chamber 1. The flue gas carries a large amount of heat during combustion, and by increasing its residence time, this heat has more opportunities to be transferred to the hot water tank 602. The heat is transferred from the flue gas to the hot water tank 602 through convection, conduction, and radiation, improving the utilization rate of thermal energy. This design makes the waste heat of the flue gas that might otherwise be wasted effectively utilized, reducing energy consumption.

[0041] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, a filter assembly 7 is also included for filtering flue gas. The filter assembly 7 is detachably disposed inside the exhaust pipe 3. The filter assembly 7 includes a mesh cylinder 701 slidably embedded inside the exhaust pipe 3. The bottom side of the inside of the mesh cylinder 701 is filled with activated carbon 702, and the upper side of the inside of the mesh cylinder 701 is filled with quicklime 703. Lifting plates 704 are fixed at both ends of the mesh cylinder 701. More specifically, the filter assembly 7 is detachably disposed inside the exhaust pipe 3, which has several advantages. First, it is easy to install and replace. After a period of use, the filter assembly 7 may become clogged or its filtration effect may decrease. At this time, the filter assembly 7 can be easily removed from the exhaust pipe 3 for cleaning, replacement, or maintenance. The bottom side of the inside of the mesh cylinder 701 is filled with activated carbon 702. Activated carbon 702 has an extremely well-developed microporous structure and a huge specific surface area, giving it a strong adsorption capacity. When flue gas passes through the mesh cylinder 701, activated carbon 702 can effectively adsorb harmful gases in the flue gas, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. These harmful gases are adsorbed in the pores of activated carbon 702, thereby reducing the harmful components in the flue gas and reducing environmental pollution. At the same time, activated carbon 702 can also adsorb some odors and improve the smell of the exhaust gas. The upper part of the inside of the mesh cylinder 701 is filled with quicklime 703. Quicklime 703 has strong alkalinity and can react with acidic substances in the flue gas, such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, absorbing them and converting them into corresponding calcium salts, further reducing the emission of acidic substances and reducing the corrosive effect on the environment and equipment.
