[0024] 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.

[0025] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solar-powered water-lifting platform for wild animals to drink water, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art. By pumping groundwater into pools at different heights, it can meet the drinking water needs of different kinds of wild animals.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a solar-powered water pumping platform for wild animals to drink water, including a water supply system, a power supply system, and a water storage system; the water supply system includes a water pump installed in an underground water source, the power supply system includes a solar panel 2 for providing power to the water pump; the water supply system also includes a water pipe 3, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the water pump, and the other end of which is connected to the water storage system; the water storage system is installed above ground.

[0028] Water pipe 3 is made of hollow steel pipe, and water pump 9 is made of submersible pump. The hollow steel pipe can not only discharge the water supplied by submersible pump 9 into the water storage system, but also serve as a supporting structure for the water storage system, enhancing the overall stability of the device.

[0029] The solar panel 2 powers the submersible pump 9, eliminating the need for industrial electricity, thus solving the power supply problem for the device and enabling it to be used in a wider range of areas.

[0030] In some more specific embodiments, the power supply system also includes a storage battery, which is electrically connected to both the submersible pump 9 and the solar panel 2. The electricity generated by the solar panel 2 is stored in the storage battery, which then powers the submersible pump 9. This not only ensures a stable supply voltage and current for the submersible pump 9, making its operation more stable, but also allows for the full storage of electricity generated by the solar panel 2 under good lighting conditions, while still providing power to the submersible pump 9 during periods of poor lighting or at night, extending the time the submersible pump 9 can supply water and meeting the needs of more wild animals.

[0031] In some more specific embodiments, the water storage system includes a deep water tank 5, a medium water tank 6, and a shallow water tank 8; the deep water tank 5 is located on the ground, the medium water tank 6 is located above the deep water tank 5, and the shallow water tank 8 is located above the medium water tank 6; the shallow water tank 8 is connected to the other end of the water pipe 3, and the medium water tank 6 is connected to both the shallow water tank 8 and the deep water tank 5.

[0032] Small birds can drink in the shallow pool 8 at the top, medium and large birds can drink in the medium pool 6 in the middle, and land animals can drink in the deep trough 5 at the bottom, thus meeting the drinking needs of various wild animals.

[0033] In some more specific embodiments, the intermediate water tank 6 is located directly below the shallow water tank 8, and the length and width of the intermediate water tank 6 are greater than those of the shallow water tank 8, respectively. The deep water trough 5 is located on both sides of the intermediate water tank 6, with its top opening directly below the side wall of the intermediate water tank 6, and the highest point of the deep water trough 5 is lower than the bottom of the intermediate water tank 6. The groundwater pumped by the submersible pump 9 first enters the shallow water tank 8, then overflows from the edge of the shallow water tank 8 into the intermediate water tank 6. The overflowing water from the intermediate water tank 6 then enters the deep water trough 5, and the overflowing water from the deep water trough 5 flows directly to the ground and seeps into the ground.

[0034] In some more specific embodiments, the deep water tank 5 has the greatest depth, the medium water tank 6 has a depth less than the deep water tank 5 but greater than the shallow water tank 8, and the shallow water tank 8 has the smallest depth. Simultaneously, the lateral area of ​​the shallow water tank 8 is smaller than the lateral area of ​​the medium water tank 6, allowing water overflowing from the shallow water tank 8 to flow into the medium water tank 6. The length of the deep water tank 5 is greater than the length of the medium water tank 6, ensuring that all water overflowing from the medium water tank 6 along its length enters the deep water tank 5. Furthermore, to reduce the direct flow of overflowing water to the ground, the width sidewall of the medium water tank 6 is higher than its length sidewall, or the sidewalls of the medium water tank 6 are of equal height. At least one overflow outlet is provided at the top of the length sidewall of the medium water tank 6, allowing water in the medium water tank 6 to flow out through the overflow outlet and into the deep water tank 5 below after reaching a certain depth.

[0035] In some more specific embodiments, a first support frame 4 is provided at the bottom of the deep water tank 5. The first support frame 4 is arranged around the bottom of the deep water tank 5 to keep the bottom of the deep water tank 5 off the ground. This not only keeps the outside of the deep water tank 5 dry and away from mud and water, thereby reducing corrosion of the deep water tank 5, but also reduces the amount of mud caused by wildlife activity entering the deep water tank 5, improving the sanitary environment inside the deep water tank 5, keeping the water in the deep water tank 5 cleaner, and reducing diseases caused by wildlife drinking sewage. A second support frame 7 is provided between the bottom of the shallow water pool 8 and the medium water pool 6. The second support frame 7 is arranged around the bottom of the shallow water pool 8 to maintain a certain height distance between the shallow water pool 8 and the medium water pool 6. This improves the structural strength of the shallow water pool 8 while providing sufficient height space for medium and large birds to drink in the medium water pool 6. In a more specific embodiment, a reinforcing rib structure can be provided at the bottom of the intermediate water pool 6 to improve the structural strength of the intermediate water pool 6 itself, thereby enabling it to support the shallow water pool 8 and the birds drinking water in the intermediate water pool 6.

[0036] In some more specific embodiments, the solar panel 2 is positioned above the shallow pool 8. The upper surface of the solar panel 2 faces south, and an inclined support is provided between the lower surface of the solar panel 2 and the shallow pool 8 to ensure that the tilt direction of the solar panel 2 meets the power generation requirements.

[0037] In some more specific embodiments, to keep the surface of the solar panel 2 clean, a flushing pipe 1 is provided on the top of the solar panel 2. The flushing pipe 1 is connected to a water pipe 3, and multiple drainage holes are provided on the side of the flushing pipe 1 facing the upper surface of the solar panel 2. Groundwater supplied by the submersible pump 9 enters the flushing pipe 1 through the water pipe 3, flows through the multiple drainage holes on the flushing pipe 1 to the upper surface of the solar panel 2, and flows into the shallow water pool 8 after flushing the solar panel 2. This ensures that the surface of the solar panel 2 is always clean, thus eliminating the need for regular manual cleaning of the solar panel 2 and meeting the long-term field operation requirements of the device.

[0038] In some more specific embodiments, in order to keep the entire surface of the solar panel 2 clean, the length of the flushing pipe 1 is greater than or equal to the top length of the solar panel 2, so that the entire surface of the solar panel 2 can be flushed.

[0039] In some more specific embodiments, in areas with short sunshine hours or insufficient groundwater resources, the operating time of the submersible pump 9 should be appropriately reduced. Two water level sensors are installed along the height direction inside the deep water tank 5, and both water level sensors are electrically connected to the submersible pump 9. When the water level in the deep water tank 5 drops to a certain position, the lower water level sensor sends a signal to activate the submersible pump 9 to draw groundwater to replenish the shallow water pool 8, until the water in the deep water tank 5 reaches the upper water level sensor, at which point the submersible pump 9 stops operating.

[0040] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model.
