Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pigsty waterers, specifically relating to a multifunctional pigsty waterer. Background Technology
[0002] In modern large-scale pig farming, the healthy growth of pigs is closely related to the quality of drinking water and the function of drinking equipment. As one of the key pieces of equipment in pigsties, waterers can meet the daily drinking water needs of pigs.
[0003] Existing waterers used in pigsties generally consist of a water trough and an electric heating rod at the bottom of the trough. By injecting clean water into the trough and turning on the electric heating rod, the water in the trough can be heated to make it suitable for pigs to drink. However, the function of these pigsty waterers is relatively simple, mostly only providing basic water supply. In terms of pig disease prevention and control, when pigs have health problems and need to be given medication through drinking water, traditional waterers lack effective drug delivery devices. Farmers often have to manually mix the medicine before pouring it into the water equipment. This operation is not only inefficient, but also makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity of drug concentration, which can easily lead to some pigs ingesting insufficient or excessive doses of medicine, affecting the effectiveness of disease prevention and control. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional waterer for pigsties to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional pigsty waterer, comprising:
[0006] A protective box, one side of which is connected to a water trough for the pigs to drink water, and the protective box contains a water tank for supplying water to the water trough;
[0007] A dispensing assembly, located inside a protective box, is used to dispense medication into a drinking trough. The dispensing assembly includes a medication tank and a diversion pipe. The medication tank is located on top of the water tank and has a stirring impeller rotatably connected to it via a rotating shaft. The diversion pipe is located in an installation slot inside the protective box and is connected to the medication tank via a pipe, so that the mixed medication in the medication tank flows into the drinking trough through the diversion pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the medicine box has an empty slot separated by a partition, and a first water pump is installed in the empty slot. The inlet of the first water pump is connected to the medicine box through a pipe, and the outlet is connected to a diversion pipe through a bend.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the diversion pipe is connected to several branch pipes, and the other end of the branch pipes extends into the drinking trough after passing through the protective box.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the water tank is equipped with a second water pump, and the inlet end of the second water pump is connected to an inlet interface, while the outlet end is connected to the water tank through a pipe.
[0011] Preferably, a third water pump is provided at the bottom of the protective box, and the inlet of the third water pump is connected to the water tank through a pipe, and the outlet is connected to the drinking water tank through a water supply pipe. An intercepting filter cartridge is fixed at the connection between the water supply pipe and the drinking water tank by bolts.
[0012] Preferably, the water tank is equipped with an electric heating plate, and the inner wall of the water tank is equipped with a heat insulation pad.
[0013] Preferably, the medicine box is equipped with a feeding pipe at the top, and the water trough is equipped with a drain pipe on one side of the bottom.
[0014] Preferably, both the drinking trough and the water tank are equipped with a liquid level sensor, and the water tank is also equipped with a temperature sensor.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] The stirring impeller inside the medicine tank rotates continuously under the drive of the shaft, which can thoroughly mix the medicine with water and ensure uniform concentration of the medicine solution. The first water pump delivers the mixed medicine solution to various parts of the drinking trough through the distribution pipe and branch pipes. This avoids the problems of uneven concentration and abnormal local drug concentration when adding medicine manually. Moreover, the farmers can complete the medicine administration without manually pouring it in, ensuring normal drinking water for the pigs. At the same time, the medicine solution can be added to the pigs' normal drinking water, which can ensure that each pig can ingest the appropriate amount of medicine in a timely and stable manner during daily drinking. This helps to improve the coverage and uniformity of medicine in the pig herd, so that the medicine can better play its role in preventing and treating diseases, effectively improve the overall health level of the pig herd, and reduce drug waste.
[0017] The second water pump at the top of the water tank introduces clean water through the inlet interface, and the third water pump at the bottom of the protective box transports the water in the water tank to the drinking trough through the water supply pipe. The intercepting filter cartridge installed at the connection between the water supply pipe and the drinking trough can effectively filter impurities such as feed residue and fecal particles in the water, prevent the water outlet from being blocked, ensure normal drinking water for the pigs, and reduce the growth of bacteria and microorganisms.
[0018] The electric heating plate inside the water tank can heat the water, and together with the heat insulation pad on the inner wall, it can maintain a suitable water temperature in cold seasons, increase the amount of water the pigs drink, promote their growth and development and feed conversion, and enhance the health of the pig herd.

[0023] 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.
[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The multifunctional pigsty waterer shown includes:
[0025] A protective box 1, with a water trough 2 for providing drinking water to the pigs connected to one side of the protective box 1, and a water tank 3 for supplying water to the water trough 2 inside the protective box 1;
[0026] The dispensing assembly is located inside the protective box 1 and is used to dispense medicine into the drinking trough 2. The dispensing assembly includes a medicine tank 4 and a diversion pipe 5. The medicine tank 4 is located on top of the water tank 3 and a stirring impeller 6 is rotatably connected inside the medicine tank 4 via a rotating shaft. The diversion pipe 5 is located in the mounting slot inside the protective box 1 and is connected to the medicine tank 4 through a pipe so that the mixed medicine solution in the medicine tank 4 flows into the drinking trough 2 through the diversion pipe 5.
[0027] The medicine box 4 is divided into empty slots by partitions 7, and a first water pump 8 is installed in the empty slots. The water inlet of the first water pump 8 is connected to the medicine box 4 through a pipe, and the water outlet is connected to the diversion pipe 5 through a bend 9.
[0028] The surface of the diversion pipe 5 is connected to several branch pipes 10, and the other end of the branch pipe 10 passes through the protective box 1 and extends into the drinking water tank 2. The medicine can be evenly dispersed into the drinking water tank 2 through the several branch pipes 10, so as to achieve precise, stable and uniform drug delivery.
[0029] The water tank 3 is equipped with a second water pump 11 on the top, and the water inlet of the second water pump 11 is connected to a water inlet interface 12, and the water outlet is connected to the water tank 3 through a pipe.
[0030] The bottom of the protective box 1 is equipped with a third water pump 13, and the inlet of the third water pump 13 is connected to the water tank 3 through a pipe. The outlet is connected to the drinking water tank 2 through a water supply pipe 14. The connection between the water supply pipe 14 and the drinking water tank 2 is fixed with an intercepting filter cartridge 15 by bolts. The bolt fixing method makes the intercepting filter cartridge 15 easy to disassemble and install, and facilitates the regular cleaning of impurities trapped in the intercepting filter cartridge 15, ensuring that it continues to perform its filtering function.
[0031] The medicine box 4 is equipped with a feeding pipe 18 at the top, and the drinking trough 2 is equipped with a drain pipe 19 on one side of the bottom. When it is necessary to clean the drinking trough 2, the control valve on the drain pipe 19 can be opened to drain the drinking water contaminated by the pigs in the drinking trough 2, which makes it easier to clean the drinking trough 2.
[0032] The water tank 3 is equipped with an electric heating plate 16 and an insulation pad 17 on its inner wall. Both the drinking trough 2 and the water tank 3 are equipped with level sensors 20, and the water tank 3 is also equipped with a temperature sensor 21. The temperature sensor 21 in the water tank 3 monitors the water temperature in the water tank 3 in real time and converts the water temperature data into an electrical signal, which is continuously transmitted to the control box. The control box has a preset water temperature range suitable for pigs to drink from (18-25℃). When the temperature sensor 21 detects that the water temperature is lower than 18℃, the control box will immediately issue a command to start the electric heating plate 16 in the water tank 3 to heat the water. After the electric heating plate 16 starts working, the temperature sensor 21 continuously monitors the water temperature change. Once the water temperature reaches 25℃, the temperature sensor 21 feeds back the signal to the control box, and the control box immediately turns off the electric heating plate 16 to stop heating. The insulation pad 17 on the inner wall of the water tank 3 can effectively reduce heat loss and keep the water temperature stable for a certain period of time, ensuring that the pigs can drink water at a suitable temperature at any time.
[0033] This multi-functional pigsty waterer connects an external water source to the water inlet 12, while a second water pump 11 at the top of the water tank 3 pumps water into the tank for storage. During this process, a liquid level sensor 20 inside the water tank 3 monitors the water level in real time and transmits the data to the control box inside the protective box 1 in the form of an electrical signal. When the liquid level sensor 20 (ultrasonic liquid level sensor) detects that the water level in the water tank 3 is close to the preset maximum water level value, the control box will automatically send a command to shut down the second water pump 11 to prevent the water tank 3 from overflowing. When the water level is lower than the preset minimum water level value, the control box will turn on the second water pump 11 to replenish the water source.
[0034] When the pigs need to drink, the third water pump 13 at the bottom of the protective box 1 starts, transporting water from the water tank 3 to the drinking trough 2 through the water pipe 14. The intercepting filter cartridge 15 at the connection between the water pipe 14 and the drinking trough 2 can intercept impurities such as feed residue and fecal particles in the water of the drinking trough 2. During this period, the liquid level sensor 20 in the drinking trough 2 also works continuously, monitoring the water level of the drinking trough 2 in real time. If the water level of the drinking trough 2 is lower than the set lower limit, the liquid level sensor 20 will send a signal to the control box, and the control box will start the third water pump 13 to increase the water supply. If the water level reaches the upper limit, the third water pump 13 will stop working to ensure that the water level of the drinking trough 2 is stable and that the pigs can obtain sufficient and clean drinking water at any time.
[0035] When the farmer opens the hinged sealed door of the protective box 1, and adds medicine and water to the medicine box 4 through the feeding pipe 18 on the top of the medicine box 4, the stirring impeller 6 inside the medicine box 4 is driven by an external motor to rotate the shaft. The shaft drives the stirring impeller 6 to start stirring, so that the medicine and water are fully mixed to form a uniform medicine solution. After the mixing is completed, the control box controls the first water pump 8 to start. Its inlet end draws the medicine solution from the medicine box 4, and the outlet end delivers the medicine solution to the distribution pipe 5 through the bend pipe 9. The distribution pipe 5 then distributes the medicine solution evenly into the drinking trough 2 through several branch pipes 10 connected to the surface, so as to achieve precise, stable and uniform drug delivery. The whole process does not require interruption of the pigs' drinking water, ensuring that the pigs have continuous access to water.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
