Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to outdoor heating and drinking water equipment for cattle and sheep. Background Technology
[0002] In the vast livestock farming areas of northern China, temperature control of drinking water for cattle and sheep has become a core element in ensuring the healthy growth of livestock and the profitability of farming. In high-altitude pastoral areas such as Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, extreme winter temperatures often plummet to -30°C or even lower, and the water in traditional open water troughs or simple insulated water tanks will freeze completely within hours. According to statistics from the animal husbandry department, the freezing of drinking water in winter reduces the average daily water intake of cattle and sheep by more than 40%, directly causing problems such as rumination dysfunction and intestinal diseases, and increasing the annual mortality rate of livestock due to drinking water difficulties. In summer, the daytime surface temperature in North China and Northwest China exceeds 50°C, and the water temperature in outdoor drinking equipment rises to about 38°C. The excessively hot water causes cattle and sheep to drink less frequently, which in turn causes heat stress reactions such as dehydration and heatstroke, slowing down their growth rate.
[0003] However, existing outdoor heating and drinking water equipment for cattle and sheep has the following drawbacks:
[0004] (1) Traditional fixed-angle solar panels are limited by the direction of sunlight, and the daily power generation efficiency is lower than that of adjustable-angle designs. When the angle of sunlight is skewed in winter, the fixed panel may experience power outage due to insufficient light.
[0005] (2) Traditional nozzles are mostly tightened by threads or bolts, requiring the use of tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers. The disassembly process is cumbersome and each replacement takes a long time.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides an outdoor insulated drinking water device for cattle and sheep. Utility Model Content
[0007] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0033] The inner wall of the trough is equipped with a drinking trough, and the inner wall of the drinking trough is equipped with an insulation board 9. The insulation board 9 covers the inner wall of the drinking trough, which can reduce the heat exchange between the drinking water in the drinking trough and the external environment, prevent the water temperature from dropping rapidly, and, together with the insulation function of the drinking tank 1, further ensure that the water is always at a suitable temperature when cattle and sheep drink, thereby improving drinking comfort and health protection.

[0035] The inner wall of the slide is provided with a rotating groove, and one end of the threaded rod 202 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating groove. The rotating groove is provided with a stable rotation fulcrum for the threaded rod 202, ensuring that the threaded rod 202 can rotate smoothly under the drive of the motor 201, avoiding axial movement or offset during rotation, so that the slider 203 can slide precisely in a straight line along the axis of the threaded rod 202, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the angle adjustment of the solar panel 204.
[0036] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0037] First step: After the motor 201 is powered on, it starts and its output end drives the transmission rod to rotate through the spline, which in turn causes the threaded rod 202 to start rotating. The slider 203, which is threaded on the surface of the threaded rod 202, slides linearly along the axis of the threaded rod 202 in the groove due to the thread transmission principle. The slider 203 is hinged to the solar panel 204 through the hinge rod 205. When the slider 203 slides, the hinge rod 205 pushes the solar panel 204 to rotate around its rotation fulcrum with the top of the water tank 1, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the solar panel 204 to adapt to different light angles and maximize the absorption of solar energy.
[0038] Second step: During normal use, under the elastic force of the spring 404, one side of the locking block 406 is locked into the annular groove on the surface of the nozzle 401, and the other side contacts the inner wall of the pushing block 403. At the same time, the limiting block slides in the limiting groove to ensure the locking position of the locking block 406 is stable, thus fixing the nozzle 401 in the mounting groove; push the circular clamp 402 upward, and the circular clamp 402 drives the pushing block 403 to slide in the groove, compressing the spring 404 and causing the damper 405 to generate damping force; push When the moving block 403 moves, it pulls the nozzle 401 so that its inner wall pushes the locking block 406 to slide towards the groove, causing the locking block 406 to disengage from the annular groove of the nozzle 401. At this time, the nozzle 401 can be removed from the mounting groove. Insert the new nozzle 401 into the mounting groove, loosen the circular clamp 402, and the elastic force of the spring 404 pushes the pushing block 403 and the circular clamp 402 back. Under the action of the spring 404, the locking block 406 is locked into the annular groove of the new nozzle 401 again, completing the replacement of the nozzle 401.
