[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an intelligent drinking water device for sheep farming includes a support frame 1, a drinking trough 2, a first drive component, and a cleaning component;

[0033] The water trough 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1;

[0034] The first drive assembly is mounted on top of the support frame 1;

[0035] The cleaning components include a protective sleeve 7, a rotating shaft 12, a second drive assembly, a rotating plate 13, and a scraper 11;

[0036] The top of the protective sleeve 7 is connected to the first drive assembly to drive the protective sleeve 7 to move, and the inner wall of the protective sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 15.

[0037] The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably disposed within the protective cover 15;

[0038] The second drive assembly is installed on the top of the protective sleeve 7 and is connected to the rotating shaft 12 to drive its rotation.

[0039] The rotating plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12. The two ends of the rotating plate 13 are symmetrically provided with scraper strips 14 that contact the inner wall of the drinking trough 2. The scraper strips 14 rub against the inner wall of the drinking trough 2.

[0040] The scraper 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve 7. The scraper 11 slides in contact with the inner wall of the drinking trough 2, and the end face of the scraper 11 rubs against the scraper strip 14.

[0041] During daily use, sheep will bring feed residue, hair, dirt and other debris into the water trough when they drink. If these debris are not cleaned in time, they can easily accumulate and ferment in the water, breeding a large number of bacteria and microorganisms, causing pollution to the drinking water for livestock.

[0042] In this technical solution, the first driving component drives the protective sleeve 7 to move, and the scraper 14 in the cleaning component rubs against the inner wall of the drinking trough 2 and the scraper 11 slides with the drinking trough 2 to clean up debris, thereby realizing the function of automatically cleaning the drinking trough 2. This avoids the accumulation and fermentation of debris in the water, which can breed bacteria and microorganisms, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the drinking water for aquaculture, reducing the workload of manual cleaning, and improving aquaculture efficiency.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive assembly includes two shaft supports 4, the bottom of the two shaft supports 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1 respectively, a ball screw 5 is rotatably connected between the two shaft supports 4, a connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball nut on the ball screw 5, and the end of the connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the protective sleeve 7. The first drive assembly also includes a first stepper motor 3, the first stepper motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1, and the output end of the first stepper motor 3 is fixedly connected to the ball screw 5.

[0044] The first drive assembly adopts a structure of ball screw 5 and connecting plate 6. The ball screw 5 has the characteristics of high transmission accuracy and low friction, which can control the movement position and speed of the protective sleeve 7, making the cleaning assembly more stable when cleaning the drinking trough 2.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the second drive assembly includes a second stepper motor 8, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective sleeve 7. The second drive assembly also includes two synchronous pulleys 16, one of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second stepper motor 8, and the other synchronous pulley 16 is located inside the protective cover 15 and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12. The two synchronous pulleys 16 are connected by a synchronous belt drive, and the synchronous belt extends to the outside of the protective sleeve 7 through a through hole.

[0046] The second stepper motor 8 provides power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 12, controls the rotation of the rotating plate 13 and the scraper 14, and transmits the power of the second stepper motor 8 to the rotating shaft 12 through the transmission connection of the synchronous pulley 16 and the synchronous belt.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the protective sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the cover 9, the second stepper motor 8 is located inside the cover 9, a sealing plate 10 is detachably installed at the opening of the cover 9, and a heat dissipation hole is provided on one side of the cover 9.

[0048] The cover 9 and the sealing plate 10 protect the second stepper motor 8 from dust corrosion in the breeding environment and extend the service life of the motor.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the protective sleeve 7 is provided with a debris discharge hole 17, and two positioning blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective sleeve 7. The top of each positioning block 22 is fixedly connected with a positioning post 23, and the outer wall of each positioning post 23 is slidably connected with a connecting arm 24. The ends of the two connecting arms 24 are fixedly connected with a splash guard 21, and the bottom of the splash guard 21 is fixedly connected with a collection box 19. The splash guard 21 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0050] The design of the discharge hole 17 facilitates the discharge of debris. The design of the positioning block 22, positioning post 23, connecting arm 24 and splash guard 21 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the collection box 19. The splash guard 21 can prevent debris from splashing out.

[0052] The second guide surface 20 on the top of the collection box 19 and the first guide surface 18 on the top of the water trough 2 can guide debris to fall smoothly into the collection box 19.

[0053] Working principle: The first step motor 3 starts, and its output end drives the ball screw 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the ball screw 5, the ball nut on it moves along the screw axis, which in turn drives the connecting plate 6 to move. The connecting plate 6 then drives the protective sleeve 7 to move linearly along the length of the drinking trough 2.

[0054] At the same time, the second stepper motor 8 starts, and the synchronous wheel 16 at its output end drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate through the synchronous belt and the synchronous wheel. When the rotating shaft 12 rotates, it drives the rotating plate 13 on its outer wall to rotate. The scraper strips 14 at both ends of the rotating plate 13 rub against the inner wall of the drinking trough 2, scraping off the feed residue, hair, dirt and other debris attached to the inner wall of the drinking trough 2.

[0055] During the movement of the protective sleeve 7, the scraper 11 fixedly connected to its inner wall slides and engages with the inner wall of the drinking trough 2 to further clean and gather the debris scraped off by the scraper 14. The scraped debris is discharged through the discharge hole 17 opened on the outer wall of the protective sleeve 7 and falls into the collection box 19 below.

[0056] The splash guard 21 has an arc-shaped structure, and the top of the collection box 19 has a second guide surface 20, while the top of the drinking trough 2 has a first guide surface 18, which helps debris fall smoothly into the collection box 19 and prevents debris from splashing out.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
