Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-laying hen breeding technology, and in particular to an automatic water feeding system for egg-laying hens. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the poultry farming industry, poultry breeding equipment is constantly being improved and upgraded. Chicken meat, with its high nutritional value and good taste, is highly favored by consumers, which has led to the continuous expansion of the egg-laying hen farming scale. In the process of egg-laying hen farming, the demand for drinking water is enormous. As the main source of hydration for chickens, timely supply of clean water is a fundamental condition for ensuring the healthy growth of egg-laying hens and plays a crucial role in their digestion and metabolism.

[0003] However, the traditional method of feeding water to laying hens is relatively simple. Generally, clean water is placed in a container inside the chicken coop for the hens to drink naturally. Although this method can meet the basic drinking water needs of laying hens, the water container is exposed to the chicken coop environment for a long time, which can easily breed bacteria and thus have an adverse effect on the healthy growth of laying hens.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic water feeding system for laying hens to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problem that traditional containers used for feeding water to laying hens are prone to bacterial growth due to long-term exposure to the chicken coop environment, which adversely affects the healthy growth of laying hens, this utility model provides an automatic water feeding system for laying hens.

[0006] The automatic water feeding system for laying hens provided by this utility model includes: a water storage tank, with two water inlet pipes fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank, each of the two water inlet pipes having a through hole; two support plates slidably installed on the two water inlet pipes, each of the two support plates having a water trough for feeding laying hens fixedly installed on it, each of the two water troughs having a through pipe fixedly installed on it, each of the two through pipes having a sleeve fixedly installed on it, the two sleeves being located outside the two water inlet pipes respectively, the inner walls of the two sleeves being provided with a sealing layer, the two sealing layers being in contact with the two water inlet pipes respectively; two support rods fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank, the two support rods being slidably connected to the two support plates respectively, each of the two support rods having a spring slidably sleeved on it; two baffles welded to the bottom ends of the two support rods respectively, the two baffles being in contact with the two springs respectively; and a sterilization mechanism assembled on the water storage tank for disinfecting the water troughs.

[0007] Preferably, the sterilization mechanism includes: a U-shaped rod and a servo motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank, with a screw fixedly installed on the output rod of the servo motor; a support block threaded onto the screw, the support block being slidably connected to the U-shaped rod; and a frame plate fixedly installed on the support block, the frame plate being located outside any one of the water feeding troughs, the top inner wall of the frame plate having an installation groove, and multiple ultraviolet disinfection lamps being fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation groove.

[0008] Preferably, a water supply pipe is fixedly installed on the water storage tank, and a solenoid valve is installed on the water supply pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a first liquid level sensor and a second liquid level sensor are fixedly installed on the water storage tank, with the second liquid level sensor located below the first liquid level sensor.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the water storage tank is fixedly equipped with multiple support legs, and the bottom end of each of the multiple support legs is fixedly equipped with a base plate.

[0011] Preferably, each of the two water inlet pipes is fixedly fitted with a limiting ring, and the two limiting rings are respectively located above the two sleeves.

[0012] Preferably, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the water storage tank, and the controller is located on the side where the first liquid level sensor and the second liquid level sensor are close to each other.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the automatic water feeding system for laying hens provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention provides an automatic water feeding system for laying hens. The system uses a water trough to provide drinking water for the hens. When the hens drink, causing the water trough to lighten, a spring pushes a support plate to slide upwards along the support rod and the water inlet pipe. The support plate then moves the water trough upwards, causing the sleeve to slide along the water inlet pipe via a connecting pipe. This aligns the through-hole in the water inlet pipe with the connecting pipe. Once aligned, water from the water tank enters the connecting pipe through the through-hole and then flows into the water trough. At this point, the weight of the water trough increases, causing the support plate to press down on the spring. The support plate then moves the water trough upwards. As the water trough moves downwards, the sleeve slides on the inlet pipe via a connecting pipe, causing the through hole to align with the pipe and sealing the through hole with a sealing layer, stopping the water supply to the trough. This process repeats continuously, enabling automatic watering of the laying hens without manual replenishment. The sterilization mechanism periodically disinfects both water troughs. While one trough is being disinfected, the other is exposed, ensuring the hens' normal drinking water supply. Continuous disinfection effectively prevents bacterial growth in the water troughs, allowing the hens to grow healthier. Attached Figure Description

The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification or the foregoing drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order; the terms "inner," "outer," "left," and "right" indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0021] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. 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.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides an automatic water feeding system for laying hens, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the automatic water feeding system for laying hens includes: a water storage tank 1, with two water inlet pipes 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, each of the two water inlet pipes 2 having a through hole 3; two support plates 4 slidably installed on the two water inlet pipes 2, each of the two support plates 4 having a water trough 5 for feeding the laying hens fixedly installed on it, each of the two water troughs 5 having a through pipe 6 fixedly installed on it, each of the two through pipes 6 having a sleeve 10 fixedly installed on it, the two sleeves 10 being located outside the two water inlet pipes 2 respectively, the inner walls of the two sleeves 10 being provided with a sealing layer, the two sealing layers being in contact with the two water inlet pipes 2 respectively; two support rods 7 fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, the two support rods 7 being slidably connected to the two support plates 4 respectively, each of the two support rods 7 having a spring 8 slidably sleeved on it; two baffles 9 welded to the bottom ends of the two support rods 7 respectively, the two baffles 9 being in contact with the two springs 8 respectively; and a sterilization mechanism assembled on the water storage tank 1 for disinfecting the water troughs 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the system is in use, the exposed water trough 5 can provide drinking water for the laying hens. When the laying hens drink water, causing the weight of the water trough 5 to decrease, the spring 8 will push the support plate 4 to slide upward along the support rod 7 and the water inlet pipe 2. The support plate 4 will drive the water trough 5 to move upward. The water trough 5 will drive the sleeve 10 to slide on the water inlet pipe 2 through the through pipe 6, so that the through hole 3 on the water inlet pipe 2 can be aligned with the through pipe 6. After alignment, the water entering from the water storage tank 1 into the water inlet pipe 2 will enter the through pipe 6 through the through hole 3, and then be discharged into the water trough 5 from the through pipe 6. At this time, the weight of the water trough 5 increases, causing the support plate 4 to press down the spring 8. The support plate 4 will drive the water trough 5 to move downward. The system uses a through-pipe 6 to drive the sleeve 10 to slide on the inlet pipe 2, causing the through hole 3 to be misaligned with the through-pipe 6. This seals the through hole 3, stopping the replenishment of water to the water trough 5. This process is repeated continuously, thus enabling automatic watering of the laying hens without the need for manual replenishment, reducing the labor intensity of workers. Every certain period of use, the system uses a sterilization mechanism to disinfect the exposed water trough 5. The disinfection interval can be three hours. When one water trough 5 is disinfected, the other water trough 5 will be exposed, thus not affecting the normal drinking water of the laying hens. With continuous disinfection, the system can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria in the water trough 5, allowing the laying hens to grow healthier.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sterilization mechanism includes: a U-shaped rod 11 and a servo motor 12 fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, with a screw 13 fixedly installed on the output rod of the servo motor 12; a support block 14 threadedly installed on the screw 13, the support block 14 being slidably connected to the U-shaped rod 11; and a frame plate 15 fixedly installed on the support block 14, the frame plate 15 being located outside any one of the water feeding troughs 5, the top inner wall of the frame plate 15 having an installation groove, and a plurality of ultraviolet disinfection lamps 16 being fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation groove.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sterilization mechanism is used to disinfect the water trough 5. During operation, the servo motor 12 drives the screw 13 to rotate, causing the threaded support block 14 to move horizontally along the U-shaped rod 11, which in turn moves the frame plate 15 and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 16 to the outside of the target water trough 5. This allows the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 16 to irradiate and sterilize the water inside the water trough 5. The servo motor 12 periodically rotates forward and backward to achieve alternating disinfection of the two water troughs 5, thereby effectively preventing the growth of bacteria in the water trough 5 and allowing the laying hens to grow more healthily.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a water supply pipe 20 is fixedly installed on the water storage tank 1, and a solenoid valve is provided on the water supply pipe 20.

[0027] In this embodiment, the water supply pipe 20 can be connected to an existing water pipe and a faucet. The faucet needs to be kept open. When the liquid level in the water storage tank 1 is low, the controller will open the solenoid valve so that water can flow from the water supply pipe 20 into the water storage tank 1. After the water level reaches the standard, the solenoid valve will close, thereby achieving automatic water replenishment without manual intervention.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first liquid level sensor 17 and a second liquid level sensor 18 are fixedly installed on the water storage tank 1, and the second liquid level sensor 18 is located below the first liquid level sensor 17.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first liquid level sensor 17 and the second liquid level sensor 18 are both model WMSR-CL-61, which belongs to the prior art. When the liquid level in the water storage tank 1 is lower than the second liquid level sensor 18, the solenoid valve will automatically open under the setting of the controller, so that the water source can flow from the water supply pipe 20 into the water storage tank 1. When the water source comes into contact with the second liquid level sensor 18, the solenoid valve will automatically close under the setting of the controller to stop the water supply work, thereby realizing automatic water supply.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of support legs 19 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, and a base plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each of the plurality of support legs 19.

[0031] In this embodiment, the device can be stably placed in the chicken coop for use by using multiple support legs 19 and multiple base plates together.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the two water inlet pipes 2 is fixedly fitted with a limiting ring, and the two limiting rings are respectively located above the two sleeves 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, the use of a limiting ring can effectively prevent the sleeve 10 from moving too high.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the water storage tank 1, and the controller is located on the side where the first liquid level sensor 17 and the second liquid level sensor 18 are close to each other.

[0035] In this embodiment, the controller model is 6ES7231-7PC22-0XA0, which belongs to the prior art. Its principle will not be described here. Through the programming settings of the relevant personnel, the system can automatically replenish the water when the water in the water storage tank 1 is low, and at the same time, the sterilization mechanism can continuously sterilize the water feeding tanks 5 on the left and right sides.

[0036] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution provides drinking water for laying hens through the use of the water trough 5. When the hens drink water, causing the weight of the water trough 5 to decrease, the spring 8 will push the support plate 4 to slide upward along the support rod 7 and the water inlet pipe 2. The support plate 4 will then move the water trough 5 upward. The water trough 5 will then move the sleeve 10 to slide on the water inlet pipe 2 through the through pipe 6, so that the through hole 3 on the water inlet pipe 2 can be aligned with the through pipe 6. After alignment, the water entering the water inlet pipe 2 from the water storage tank 1 will enter the through pipe 6 through the through hole 3, and then be discharged into the water trough 5 from the through pipe 6. At this time, the weight of the water trough 5 increases, causing the support plate 4 to press down on the spring 8. 4 will cause the water trough 5 to move downwards. The water trough 5 will then drive the sleeve 10 to slide on the water inlet pipe 2 through the connecting pipe 6, so that the through hole 3 can be misaligned with the connecting pipe 6, and the sealing layer will block the through hole 3, stopping the replenishment of water to the water trough 5. This process will continue to repeat, thus realizing automatic watering of laying hens without the need for manual replenishment. Through the use of the sterilization mechanism, the water troughs 5 on both sides can be disinfected at regular intervals. When one water trough 5 is being disinfected, the other water trough 5 will be exposed, without affecting the normal drinking of laying hens. With continuous disinfection, the growth of bacteria in the water trough 5 can be effectively prevented, allowing the laying hens to grow more healthily.
