Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water supply technology for poultry farming, and in particular to an automatic water supply device for duck farming. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and the improvement of people's living standards, the market demand for poultry products such as duck meat has increased dramatically, driving the poultry farming industry to accelerate its transformation towards a large-scale and modern model. As an important part of poultry farming, duck farming is also expanding in scale. Against this backdrop, the performance of water supply devices for duck farming has become increasingly critical to farming efficiency, cost control, and duck flock health.

[0003] Currently, most commercially available duck farming water supply devices have some drawbacks. Many devices are designed with a large water capacity to reduce the frequency of water replenishment. While this reduces the intensity of manual labor to some extent, it brings new problems. Due to the large volume of water held at one time, the water stays in the device for a long time. During the drinking process, ducks easily bring feed residue, feathers, feces and other debris into the water. Especially in the high temperature environment of summer, these debris will accelerate the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the water, leading to water quality deterioration and the proliferation of bacteria. After drinking the water, the ducks are very susceptible to disease, which affects the healthy growth of the ducks and increases the cost and risk of breeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the problems of water waste and bacterial contamination caused by existing duck farming water supply devices due to their large water capacity and difficulty in accurate feeding, this utility model provides an automatic water supply device for duck farming.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: An automatic water supply device for duck farming includes a water supply component and a drinking component; a drinking component is provided in front of the water supply component; the water supply component includes a water supply box, a water pipe, a lever water inlet channel, a spring, an electrically controlled cylinder, and a valve body; the drinking component includes a drinking scoop, a bracket, a low water level sensor, and a high water level sensor; a low water level sensor is provided at the lower end of the inside of the drinking scoop; a high water level sensor is provided on the inner wall of the drinking scoop; a water supply box is provided behind the drinking scoop, and the water supply box is fixedly connected to the wall by bolts; a lever water inlet channel is provided inside the water supply box, and the lever water inlet channel is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water supply box; an electrically controlled cylinder is provided behind the lever water inlet channel.

[0006] Furthermore, a water pipe is installed at the upper end of the water supply box, and the water pipe is connected to the interior of the water supply box; a valve body is installed inside the water supply box, and the input end of the valve body is connected to the output end of the water supply box.

[0007] Furthermore, the output end hole of the valve body is sealed by a lever-type water inlet groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the housing of the electrically controlled cylinder is mounted on the lever water inlet channel, and the housing of the electrically controlled cylinder is rotatably connected to the lever water inlet channel, and the output end of the electrically controlled cylinder is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water supply box.

[0009] Furthermore, the electric cylinder is equipped with a spring on its exterior, and the upper and lower ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the lever water inlet and the water supply box, respectively, and the spring is in a contracted state.

[0010] Furthermore, the electronic controller of the electronically controlled cylinder is connected to the low water level sensor and the high water level sensor for information transmission. When the low water level sensor detects that there is no water, it controls the output end of the electronically controlled cylinder to rise, and when the high water level sensor detects that there is water, it controls the output end of the electronically controlled cylinder to reset.

[0011] Furthermore, the front end of the drinking spoon is equipped with a support, and the support is fixedly connected to the drinking spoon.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: This utility model detects the water level inside the drinking spoon using low-water-level and high-water-level sensors. If the low-water-level sensor detects no water, the electronic control unit of the electric cylinder controls its output end to rise, causing the lever water channel to rotate around its axis with the inner wall of the water supply box. This causes the end of the lever water channel near the drinking spoon to rise, thereby draining water from the output end of the valve body blocked by the lever water channel. The drained water flows into the interior of the drinking spoon along the lever water channel. When the high-water-level sensor on the inner wall of the drinking spoon detects water, the electric cylinder controls its output end to reset. Due to the contraction of the spring, the lever water channel resets, thereby blocking the valve body and realizing the automatic water supply function, which greatly improves the water supply efficiency of duck farming and reduces the problem of water waste.

[0013] The small size of the drinking scoop allows it to hold enough water for the ducks, reducing water waste and effectively preventing the accumulation of bacteria in traditional waterers, thus lowering the probability of water pollution. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] With continuous social progress and a steady improvement in people's living standards, the demand for poultry products in the market has shown a rapid growth trend. Among them, duck meat, with its tender texture and rich nutrition, is deeply loved by consumers, and its market share continues to expand. This strong market demand acts as a powerful engine, effectively driving the poultry farming industry to accelerate its transformation towards a large-scale and modernized model. In this wave of industry transformation, ducks, as an important part of poultry farming, are also being raised on an increasingly large scale, with numerous large-scale duck farms springing up like mushrooms after rain.

[0022] In large-scale duck farming, water supply systems play a crucial role, and their performance has a profound impact on every key aspect of the farming process. From an efficiency perspective, a highly efficient and stable water supply system ensures ducks have access to ample drinking water at all times, promoting metabolism, accelerating growth, shortening the farming cycle, and increasing overall efficiency. Regarding cost control, a well-designed water supply system effectively avoids water waste, reduces electricity and water costs, and minimizes the incidence of duck diseases caused by water quality issues, thus lowering medical costs and economic losses due to duck mortality. Furthermore, a high-quality water supply system provides clean and hygienic drinking water, which is fundamental to the ducks' health, directly affecting their growth, development, and immunity, and playing a decisive role in improving farming profitability.

[0023] However, a closer examination of commonly available duck farming water supply devices reveals several significant drawbacks. Many devices are designed with large water capacities to reduce the frequency of manual water replenishment and lower labor intensity. While this initial intention has indeed achieved the goal of reducing labor intensity to some extent, decreasing the manpower and time costs associated with frequent water replenishment in large-scale farming scenarios, this design simultaneously introduces a series of new problems. Due to the large volume of water held at a time, the water remains in the device for a significantly longer period. Ducks, by their own instincts, easily bring feed residue, feathers, and even feces into the water during their daily drinking. Especially in the harsh environment of high summer temperatures, these debris become a breeding ground for microorganisms. The rapid proliferation of microorganisms in the water leads to a sharp deterioration in water quality and a surge in pathogens. Once ducks drink this contaminated water, they are highly susceptible to various diseases, such as intestinal and respiratory diseases. This not only affects the healthy growth of the ducks, causing slow growth and underweight, but also significantly increases farming costs and risks. If the disease spreads among ducks, it can trigger a large-scale epidemic, causing a large number of duck deaths and resulting in heavy economic losses for farmers.

[0024] Traditional trough-type drinkers are a typical example of water supply devices with obvious drawbacks. Widely used in many farms, these simple trough-type drinkers typically consist of a long, narrow trough into which water is poured manually or by simple automatic devices. However, due to their open design, ducks often stick their heads into the trough while drinking, inevitably bringing feed residue into the water. Ducks are also active, and feathers shed while moving around the trough easily drift in. More seriously, ducks have a habit of defecating while drinking, and feces easily fall into the trough, causing rapid water pollution. Furthermore, the water flow rate in trough-type drinkers is often difficult to control precisely. In hot summer weather, water lingers in the trough for extended periods, raising the water temperature and accelerating microbial growth, further exacerbating the water quality deterioration problem.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-5As shown, an automatic water supply device for duck farming includes a water supply component 1 and a drinking component 2; the drinking component 2 is located in front of the water supply component 1; the water supply component 1 includes a water supply box 101, a water pipe 102, a lever-type water inlet trough 103, a spring 104, an electrically controlled cylinder 105, and a valve body 106; the drinking component 2 includes a drinking scoop 201, a bracket 202, a low water level sensor 203, and a high water level sensor 204; the drinking scoop 2... A low water level sensor 203 is installed at the lower end of the interior of the drinking spoon 201; a high water level sensor 204 is installed on the inner wall of the drinking spoon 201; a water supply box 101 is installed behind the drinking spoon 201, and the water supply box 101 is fixedly connected to the wall by bolts; a lever water inlet 103 is installed inside the water supply box 101, and the lever water inlet 103 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water supply box 101; an electric control cylinder 105 is installed behind the lever water inlet 103.

[0027] A water pipe 102 is provided at the upper end of the water supply box 101, and the water pipe 102 is connected to the interior of the water supply box 101; a valve body 106 is provided inside the water supply box 101, and the input end of the valve body 106 is connected to the output end of the water supply box 101.

[0028] The output end hole of the valve body 106 is sealed by the lever water inlet 103.

[0029] The housing of the electric cylinder 105 is mounted on the lever water inlet trough 103, and the housing of the electric cylinder 105 is rotatably connected to the lever water inlet trough 103. The output end of the electric cylinder 105 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water supply box 101.

[0030] The electric cylinder 105 is provided with a spring 104 on its outside, and the upper and lower ends of the spring 104 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the lever water channel 103 and the water supply box 101, respectively, and the spring 104 is in a contracted state.

[0031] The electronic controller of the electronically controlled cylinder 105 is connected to the low water level sensor 203 and the high water level sensor 204 for information transmission. When the low water level sensor 203 detects that there is no water, it controls the output terminal of the electronically controlled cylinder 105 to rise. When the high water level sensor 204 detects that there is water, it controls the output terminal of the electronically controlled cylinder 105 to reset.

[0032] The water level inside the drinking spoon 201 is detected by the low water level sensor 203 and the high water level sensor 204. If the low water level sensor 203 detects no water, the electronic control unit of the electronic cylinder 105 controls its output end to rise, thereby causing the lever water channel 103 to rotate around its axis with the inner wall of the water supply box 101. This causes the end of the lever water channel 103 near the drinking spoon 201 to rise, thereby causing the output end of the valve body 106, which is blocked by the lever water channel 103, to drain water. The drained water flows into the interior of the drinking spoon 201 along the lever water channel 103. When the high water level sensor 204 on the inner wall of the drinking spoon 201 detects water, the electronic cylinder 105 controls its output end to reset. Due to the contraction of the spring 104, the lever water channel 103 resets, thereby causing the valve body 106 to be blocked by the lever water channel 103. This realizes the automatic water supply function, which greatly improves the water supply efficiency of duck farming and reduces the problem of water waste.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a support 202 is provided at the front end of the drinking spoon 201, and the support 202 is fixedly connected to the drinking spoon 201.

[0035] By designing the drinking scoop 201, its small size allows it to hold enough water for the ducks, reducing water waste and effectively preventing the problem of large amounts of water accumulating and breeding bacteria in traditional waterers, thus lowering the probability of water pollution.
