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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0027] A livestock water feeder, comprising:
[0028] The tank includes a water tank 1, which is used to hold water.
[0029] The adjustment mechanism includes a support plate 2, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the water tank 1. The support plate 2 supports the water tank 1. A fixing block 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 2, and a return spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixing block 21. The return spring 22 pushes the connecting plate 23 and the positioning pin 24 back to their original positions, so that the positioning pin 24 is inserted into the positioning hole 28, thereby positioning the extension plate 27. The surface of the return spring 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 23, which connects the return spring 22, the positioning pin 24, and the pull rod 25, and also compresses the return spring 22, causing it to deform. The side of the connecting plate 23 away from the return spring 22 is fixedly connected to the positioning pin 24, which is inserted into the positioning hole 28, thereby positioning the extension plate 27. A pull rod 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 23 away from the positioning pin 24. The pull rod 25 is used to pull the positioning pin 24 away from the positioning hole 28, thereby moving the position of the extension plate 27 and adjusting the height of the device so that the device can adapt to the different needs of livestock of different sizes. The surface of the pull rod 25 is threaded with a limit sleeve 26. The limit sleeve 26 is used to limit the pull rod 25 so that the return spring 22 cannot push the connecting plate 23, the positioning pin 24 and the pull rod 25 back to their original positions, thereby facilitating the staff to adjust the height of the device. The support plate 2 is movably connected to the inside of the extension plate 2. The extension plate 27 is used to extend the length of the support plate 2, thereby adjusting the height of the device. The surface of the extension plate 27 is provided with a positioning hole 28, which is used to cooperate with the positioning pin 24 to achieve positioning of the extension plate 27.
[0030] The cleaning mechanism includes a rotating base 3 and a receiving plate 34. The rotating base 3 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the water tank 1. The receiving plate 34 is set on the inner bottom surface of the water tank 1. The receiving plate 34 is used to catch feed particles and other impurities that fall when livestock drink water, so that the impurities are concentrated on the receiving plate 34, making it convenient for workers to clean the impurities. A rotating shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating base 3. The rotating base 3 and the rotating shaft 31 are used to support the positioning plate 33 and realize the rotation of the positioning plate 33. A torsion spring 32 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 31. The torsion spring 32 is used to apply external force to the positioning plate 33, so that the positioning plate 33 presses down on the receiving plate 34, realizing the positioning of the receiving plate 34. The positioning plate 33 is fixedly connected to the surface of the torsion spring 32. The positioning plate 33 is used to press down on the receiving plate 34, realizing the positioning of the receiving plate 34. A handle 35 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the receiving plate 34. The handle 35 is used to facilitate workers to remove the receiving plate 34.
[0031] Furthermore, the support plate 2 is plate-shaped, and the support plates 2 are symmetrically distributed in two groups on both sides of the water tank 1. Two sets of fixing blocks 21 are distributed on the surface of one set of support plates 2. The support plates 2 are used to support the water tank 1.
[0032] Furthermore, the two ends of the return spring 22 are fixedly connected to the fixing block 21 and the connecting plate 23 respectively. The return spring 22 is used to push the connecting plate 23 and the positioning pin 24 back to their original positions, so that the positioning pin 24 is inserted into the positioning hole 28, thereby realizing the positioning of the extension plate 27. The connecting plate 23 is in the shape of a circular plate. The connecting plate 23 is slidably connected to the fixing block 21 through the return spring 22. The connecting plate 23 is used to connect the return spring 22, the positioning pin 24 and the pull rod 25, and at the same time, it is used to squeeze the return spring 22, so that the return spring 22 deforms.
[0033] Furthermore, the positioning pin 24 is in the shape of a round rod and is used to insert into the positioning hole 28 to position the extension plate 27. The surface of the pull rod 25 is threaded and the pull rod 25 is slidably connected to the fixing block 21. The pull rod 25 is used to pull the positioning pin 24 away from the positioning hole 28, thereby moving the position of the extension plate 27 and adjusting the height of the device so that the device can adapt to the different needs of livestock of different sizes.
[0034] Furthermore, the limiting sleeve 26 is used to limit the pull rod 25, so that the return spring 22 cannot push the connecting plate 23, the positioning pin 24 and the pull rod 25 back to their original positions, thereby facilitating the staff to adjust the height of the device. The extension plate 27 is plate-shaped, and four sets of positioning holes 28 are evenly distributed on the surface of a set of extension plates 27. The extension plate 27 is used to extend the length of the support plate 2, thereby adjusting the height of the device. The positioning holes 28 are used to cooperate with the positioning pin 24 to achieve positioning of the extension plate 27.
[0035] Furthermore, the rotating base 3 is symmetrically distributed in two sets on the inner surface of the water tank 1. The rotating base 3 is U-shaped, and the rotating shaft 31 is round rod-shaped. The rotating base 3 and the rotating shaft 31 are used to support the positioning plate 33 and realize the rotation of the positioning plate 33.
[0036] Furthermore, the two ends of the torsion spring 32 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 31 and the positioning plate 33 respectively. The torsion spring 32 is used to apply external force to the positioning plate 33, so that the positioning plate 33 presses down on the receiving plate 34 to achieve the positioning of the receiving plate 34. The positioning plate 33 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the torsion spring 32. The positioning plate 33 is used to press down on the receiving plate 34 to achieve the positioning of the receiving plate 34. The receiving plate 34 is plate-shaped and is used to catch feed particles and other impurities that fall when livestock drink water, so that the impurities are concentrated on the receiving plate 34, making it convenient for workers to clean the impurities. The handles 35 are symmetrically distributed in two sets on the upper surface of the receiving plate 34. The handles 35 are used to make it convenient for workers to remove the receiving plate 34.
[0037] Working principle: Place the device on its side, pull the lever 25 to disengage the positioning pin 24 from the lower positioning hole 28, then rotate the limiting sleeve 26 to limit the lever 25, pull the extension plate 27 to extend it out, then rotate the limiting sleeve 26 in the opposite direction, the return spring 22 will push the positioning pin 24 into the higher positioning hole 28, thereby positioning the extension plate 27 and adjusting the height of the device so that the device can adapt to the different needs of livestock of different sizes.
[0038] When livestock drink water, the receiving plate 34 can catch feed particles and other impurities that fall off. The impurities will concentrate on the receiving plate 34. Later, the positioning plate 33 can be pried off to remove the receiving plate 34 for cleaning, which makes it easier to clean the impurities inside the device without having to clean the entire device, thus reducing the labor intensity of the staff.
