Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a winter drinking water device for cattle and sheep, including a wind-solar hybrid power supply system 1, a water circulation system 2, a drinking trough 3, a temperature control system, an induction system 5, and an electrical control box 4.

[0031] The wind-solar hybrid power supply system 1 includes a solar power generation device 11, a wind power generation device 12, and a storage battery 13.

[0032] The solar power generation device 11 includes a solar panel 111; the solar panel 11 is 500 watts each, and can be monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon; the solar panel 111 is connected to the power adapter module in the electrical control box 4 through wires, and the power adapter module is connected to the storage battery 13 through wires to store the power generated by the solar panel 111 in the storage battery 13.

[0033] The current output terminal of the wind power generation device 12 is connected to the power adapter module in the electrical control box 4 through a wire. The power system is connected to the storage battery 13 through a wire to store the electricity generated by the wind power generation device 12 in the storage battery 13. In this embodiment, the wind turbine blade 121 of the wind power generation device 12 is a 1.5-meter blade.

[0034] The battery 13 is installed in the electrical control box 4 and has a capacity of 300A / h.

[0035] The electrical control box 4 is equipped with a power adapter module and a controller. The power adapter module can adapt to the solar power generation device 11 or the wind power generation device 12 to supply power to the storage battery 13 according to the actual situation. The power supply terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the storage battery 13 of the wind-solar hybrid power supply system 1. It is mainly composed of a PLC controller and electrical components such as adaptive relays, contactors, and control circuits.

[0036] The water circulation system 2 includes an insulated tank 21 and a water pump 22. The insulated tank 21 is buried underground for insulation and contains an insulated tank float 211. A water inlet pipe 212 is located on one side of the bottom of the insulated tank, connecting it to an underground well or a tap water pipe. The insulated tank float 211 is a float switch used to monitor the water temperature inside the insulated tank 21 in real time and is electrically connected to a controller. The water pump 22 is located inside the insulated tank 21, and its inlet is connected to the insulated tank water inlet pipe 212 via a pipe. The water pump 22 is also connected to the controller via a wire and is controlled by the controller to start and stop. When the insulated tank float 211 detects a low water level inside the insulated tank 21, it sends a signal to the controller, which then controls the water pump 22 to start supplying water to the insulated tank 21.

[0037] The drinking water tank 3 is matched and installed on the outside of the water circulation system 2. It includes a bracket 31, a water tank 32 installed on the bracket 31, and a baffle 33 matched and installed at the opening of the water tank 32. The water tank 32 is equipped with a motor on its outer side, which is electrically connected to the controller inside the electrical control box 4. Its power output end is connected to a pull rod, which in turn connects to the baffle 33. The baffle 33 is opened and closed by the motor-driven pull rod. A perforated partition 34 is provided inside one end of the water tank 32. The inner cavity of the water tank 32 is divided into an inlet / outlet chamber and a storage chamber by the perforated partition 34. A water tank float 35 is provided in the inlet / outlet chamber. An inlet hole 321 is provided on one side of the inlet / outlet chamber, and a drain hole 322 is provided on the other side. The drain hole 322 is connected to a drinking water tank drain pipe 3221. The inlet hole 321 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 22 via a drinking water tank inlet pipe 3211. Specifically, the outlet of the water pump 22 is connected to two pipes, one... One pipeline connects to the inlet pipe 212 of the insulated bucket to supply water to the insulated bucket 21, and another pipeline is matched and connected to the inlet pipe 3211 of the drinking trough at the inlet hole 321. The inlet pipe 212 and the inlet hole 321 of the insulated bucket share a water pump 22, and the water pump 22 is controlled by a controller to switch the timing of use. A drain valve 323 is also installed at the drain hole 322. The drain valve 323 is controlled by the trough float 35, which is matched and connected to the baffle 33 and moves with the baffle 33. When the baffle 33 is opened, the trough float 35 simultaneously blocks the drain hole 322 of the trough 32. After the cattle and sheep leave, the baffle 33 falls and closes, and the trough float 35 moves away from the drain hole 322 along with the baffle 33. After the drain hole 322 is opened, water is drained through the drinking trough drain pipe 3221 to drain the water in the trough 32 to prevent freezing. In this embodiment, the drinking water tank 3 is preferably made of 304 steel, with a length of about 4m and a width of about 40cm.

[0038] The temperature control system is electrically connected to the controller inside the electrical control box 4. It includes a temperature controller, a temperature sensor, and a heating rod. The power supply terminal of the temperature controller is connected to the battery 13, and the signal input terminal is electrically connected to the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is installed inside the insulation tank 21 of the water circulation system 2, and is used to monitor the water temperature in the insulation tank 21 in real time and transmit the temperature signal to the temperature controller. The heating rod is installed inside the insulation tank 21 and is electrically connected to the signal output terminal of the temperature controller via a wire. When the water temperature in the insulation tank 21 reaches the set temperature, the temperature controller cuts off the power supply to the battery 13, stopping the power supply to the heating rod. When the water temperature in the insulation tank 21 is too low, the temperature controller reconnects the battery 13 to supply power to the heating rod, continuing to heat and achieve automatic heating and constant temperature. The heating rod has a power of approximately 500 watts.

[0039] The sensor 5 is a pyroelectric infrared sensor and is matched and installed around the outside of the opening of the water tank 32 in the drinking trough body 3. It is electrically connected to the controller in the electrical control box 4. When cattle or sheep enter the sensing range, the sensor 5 will detect the infrared spectrum signal of the animal and automatically output a signal to the controller. The controller will control the motor on the outside of the water tank 32 to start according to the received control signal. Then, the motor will drive the baffle 33 on the water tank 32 to open. At the same time, the controller will also control the water pump 22 of the water circulation system 2 to start, so as to pump the warm water in the heat preservation tank 21 into the water tank 32 for the cattle and sheep to drink. If the animal continues to move within the sensing range, the sensor 5 will continuously output a high level. After the cattle or sheep leave, the sensor 5 will not detect the infrared spectrum signal of the animal. The controller will automatically cut off the power of the water pump 22 to stop the water supply. At the same time, the controller will control the motor to start again to drive the baffle 33 on the water tank 32 to close. In this embodiment, the sensing distance of the sensor 5 is about 10m.

[0040] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] When cattle or sheep approach the water trough 3, the baffle 33 automatically flips up under the drive of the motor, and the water pump 22 of the water circulation system 2 is started simultaneously. The water pump 22 draws water from the insulated tank 21 and discharges it into the water trough 32. The water trough 32 has a water trough float 35 to control the water pumping volume and ensure that the water level in the water trough 32 is not lower than the water trough float 35. The insulated tank water inlet pipe 212 and the water inlet hole 321 share a water pump 22. When the cattle or sheep leave the water trough 3, the baffle 33 automatically falls down, and the water trough float 35 stops working. The drain valve 323 opens, allowing the remaining water to be discharged from the drain hole 322 (the discharge location is not around the water trough 32), ensuring that the water trough 32 will not freeze. At the same time, the baffle 33 can prevent snow or wind-blown objects from falling into the water trough 32.

[0042] This utility model has a reasonable structural design, which can provide warm water for cattle and sheep in winter. It is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, quick and easy to operate, highly practical, and can be used in the field.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
