Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding and watering mechanisms, specifically an automatic feeding and watering mechanism for poultry. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic watering systems for poultry are intelligent drinking water devices specifically designed for poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese. They use sensors (such as floats and level probes) to monitor the water level in the tank in real time. When the water level falls below a set value, the system automatically controls the water pump or valve to open, promptly replenishing clean water and ensuring the poultry always have access to drinking water. This device avoids frequent manual watering, reducing labor intensity, and prevents growth stunts or disease caused by dehydration. Some high-end models are also equipped with a filtration system to purify the water and extend the equipment's lifespan. Its application significantly improves breeding efficiency and is an important supporting facility for large-scale, modern poultry farms.
[0003] Utility model CN217089115U discloses an automatic watering device for dairy farms with a filtration mechanism. Its structure includes a base, support platform, water trough, water filling chamber, water tank, and water pump. The water trough is mounted on the top of the base via the support platform. A water filling chamber is located at one end of the water trough, and a water tank is located at the top of the base. A water pump is installed at the bottom of the water tank. A filter screen is mounted below the other end of the water filling chamber via a rotating shaft. The water trough contains an automatic watering structure, a detachable filtration structure, and an easy-to-clean structure. This utility model, by incorporating an easy-to-clean structure and utilizing the cooperation between the electric telescopic rod and the base plate, allows farmers to more easily clean the water trough, improving its hygiene and reducing bacterial growth, thus indirectly promoting the health of dairy cows and simplifying cleaning.
[0004] While the aforementioned device can filter water and facilitate cleaning by poultry farmers, in actual use, the water in the tank usually remains stagnant for extended periods. Only when animals drink does it cause minor disturbance. Due to the lack of flow, renewal, and oxygen exchange, the water quality in the tank easily deteriorates and bacteria proliferate, which is detrimental to the health of poultry. Furthermore, impurities tend to accumulate at the bottom of the tank due to prolonged lack of agitation. Additionally, during water filtration, the water flows from top to bottom through the filter element, causing impurities to accumulate within the filter, easily leading to clogging and affecting water flow efficiency. Therefore, to address these issues, an automatic watering mechanism for poultry farming is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problems in comparative technologies, such as the water in the feeding and watering mechanism easily becoming stagnant, leading to bacterial growth and affecting animal health, and the filtration structure being prone to clogging during use, this utility model provides an automatic feeding and watering mechanism for poultry farming.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] An automatic water feeding mechanism for poultry farming includes a stirring water trough containing water for feeding; a water replenishment mechanism located on one side of the stirring water trough for adding water to the trough; and a filter box installed at one end of the stirring water trough for filtering the water supplied by the water replenishment mechanism, with water level monitoring components installed on both sides of the filter box. The stirring water trough includes a main body with a rotating stirring rod installed at its inner bottom, and a drive motor for rotating the stirring rod is installed at one end of the main body. The filter box includes a main body containing several sets of pluggable filter plates, with an inlet and an outlet at each end of the main body, the outlet being positioned higher than the inlet.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the agitating rod includes a transmission rod on which a plurality of mounting rings arranged in an array are fixedly mounted, and each mounting ring is fixedly provided with a plurality of agitating blades arranged in a circumferential array.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the agitator rod further includes several support seats disposed between the mounting rings, with a waterproof bearing embedded in its top. The support seats are rotatably connected to the transmission rod via the waterproof bearing.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the upper side of the agitator is covered with a protective plate, both ends of which are bolted to the main body of the water tank, and the protective plate has several arrayed through holes.
[0011] In one possible implementation, a number of guide rails are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box body, and the filter plate is slidably inserted into the guide rails. The filter plate includes a plate frame that matches the size of the guide rails, a filter screen is installed inside the plate frame, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer end of the plate frame.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the bottom plate of the main body of the box is provided with a number of sewage pipes, the positions of which correspond one-to-one with the filter plates, and the sewage pipe openings are provided with sealed caps. In addition, the top of the main body of the box is covered with a cover plate.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the water replenishment mechanism includes a water supply tank and a water supply pipe, with the end of the water supply pipe away from the water supply tank being sealed to the water inlet. The water supply tank is equipped with a submersible pump, and the water supply pipe is sealed to the output port of the submersible pump.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the water level monitoring component includes a mounting base in which a water shortage probe is embedded and makes sliding frictional contact with the mounting base.
[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0016] In the agitated water trough, an agitating rod is installed at the bottom of the trough body that can rotate under the drive of a drive motor. It includes several sets of agitating structures composed of mounting rings and agitating blades. When the drive rod rotates, the agitating structure can agitate the water to keep it flowing at all times, so that it can fully contact the air to exchange oxygen and prevent the feeding water stored in the trough body from becoming stagnant water, which would affect the health of the poultry raised.
[0017] In addition, because the inlet is positioned lower than the outlet in the filter box, when feeding water is added to the main body of the tank, the water flows upward and passes through several inclined filter plates. This arrangement causes some impurities to settle under gravity, which can significantly reduce the probability of the filter plates being clogged.
[0018] Furthermore, since the filter plate is connected to the main body of the filter box, it can be easily inserted and removed, and the filter plate can be cleaned and replaced. Also, since there are several filter plates, one of them can be directly pulled out for cleaning or replacement during the filtration process without significantly affecting the operation of the filter box, which is very convenient.

[0026] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic water feeding mechanism for poultry farming, including a stirring water trough 1 containing water for feeding; a water replenishment mechanism 3, which is located on one side of the stirring water trough 1 for adding water to the stirring water trough 1; and a filter box 2, which is installed at one end of the stirring water trough 1 for filtering the water supplied by the water replenishment mechanism 3, and water level monitoring components 4 are installed on both sides of the filter box 2.
[0028] Based on the above structural scheme, when the water level in the agitated water tank 1 is lower than a certain level, it can be monitored and identified by the water level monitoring component 4. At this time, the water replenishment mechanism 3 works to deliver water to the agitated water tank 1, and the water can be filtered through the filter box 2 to remove impurities and foreign objects.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the agitated water trough 1 includes a trough body 11, with a rotating agitator 12 installed on its inner bottom. A drive motor 13 for driving the agitator 12 to rotate is installed at one end of the trough body 11. The agitator 12 includes a transmission rod 121, on which several arrayed mounting rings 122 are fixedly installed. Each mounting ring 122 is fixedly provided with several agitator blades 123 arranged in a circular array. Based on the above structural scheme, the drive motor 13 can drive the agitator 12 to rotate when working. The several sets of agitation structures composed of mounting rings 122 and agitator blades 123 on it can agitate the water when the transmission rod 121 rotates, so that it can always maintain a flowing state, thereby fully contacting the air for oxygen exchange and preventing the feeding water stored in the trough body 11 from becoming stagnant water, which would affect the health of the poultry.
[0030] In addition, to prevent the transmission rod 121 from being affected by bending and deformation during use due to its excessive length, the agitator rod 12 also includes several support seats 124, which are arranged between the mounting rings 122 and have waterproof bearings 125 embedded in their tops. The support seats 124 are rotatably connected to the transmission rod 121 through the waterproof bearings 125. The cooperation between the support seats 124 and the waterproof bearings 125 can provide multi-point support for the transmission rod 121 without affecting its rotation, thus preventing bending and deformation during use.
[0031] At the same time, to prevent drinking poultry from being injured by the rotating agitator 12, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper side cover of the stirring rod 12 is provided with a protective plate 14. The two ends of the protective plate 14 are bolted to the main body of the water tank 11, and the protective plate 14 has several arrayed through holes. The protective plate 14 can separate the drinking area and the stirring area in the main body of the water tank 11, thereby ensuring the safety of poultry when drinking water and preventing them from being harmed.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the filter box 2 includes a box body 21, inside which several sets of pluggable filter plates 23 are installed. The two ends of the box body 21 are respectively provided with a water inlet 22 and a water outlet 24, and the water outlet 24 is located higher than the water inlet 22. Since the water inlet 22 is located lower than the water outlet 24, when feeding water is added to the water tank body 11, the water will flow upward and pass through the several inclined filter plates 23. This arrangement will cause some impurities to settle under the action of gravity, which can significantly reduce the probability of the filter plates 23 being blocked.
[0033] Based on the above structural design of filter box 2, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, several sets of guide rails 26 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the main body 21 of the box. The filter plate 23 is slidably inserted into the guide rail 26. The filter plate 23 includes a plate frame 231 that matches the size of the guide rail 26. A filter screen 232 is installed inside the plate frame 231, and a handle 233 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the plate frame 231. The guide rails 26 can play a role in positioning and installing the filter plate 23, so that it can be in a specific position after each installation, avoiding its displacement during installation and affecting its filtration effect.
[0034] To facilitate the cleaning of impurities filtered out of the filter box 2, several drain pipes 27 are provided on the bottom plate of the main body 21 of the box. Their positions correspond one-to-one with the filter plates 23, and the drain pipe 27 openings are equipped with sealing caps. In addition, the top of the main body 21 of the box is covered with a cover plate 25. Based on the above structural scheme, when cleaning, the cover plate 25 is first removed, and all the filter plates 23 are pulled out. Then, the sealing caps on the drain pipe 27 openings are removed. At this time, the impurities inside the main body 21 of the box can be discharged through the drain pipes 27, thereby improving the work efficiency during cleaning.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the water replenishment mechanism 3 includes a water supply tank 31 and a water supply pipe 32. The end of the water supply pipe 32 away from the water supply tank 31 is sealed to the water inlet 22. The water supply tank 31 is equipped with a submersible pump, and the water supply pipe 32 is sealed to the output port of the submersible pump. When replenishing water, the submersible pump works to transport the water stored in the water supply tank 31 into the tank body 21 through the water supply pipe 32. After filtration, the water is discharged from the water outlet 24 into the water tank body 11 to complete the water replenishment.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the water level monitoring component 4 includes a mounting base 41, in which a water shortage probe 42 is embedded and makes sliding friction contact with the mounting base 41. When the water level is lower than the preset value, the water shortage probe 42 will leave the water environment and detect the water shortage signal. At this time, the water replenishment mechanism 3 starts to work to automatically replenish water.
[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0038] When the water level is lower than the preset value, the water shortage probe 42 will be removed from the water environment and detect the water shortage signal. At this time, the water replenishment mechanism 3 will start to work to automatically replenish water. When replenishing water, the submersible pump will work to transport the water stored in the water supply tank 31 into the tank body 21 through the water supply pipe 32. After filtration, the water will be discharged from the water outlet 24 into the water tank body 11 to complete the water replenishment.
[0039] In the filter box 2, since the inlet 22 is positioned lower than the outlet 24, when feeding water is added to the main body 11, the water flows upward and passes through several inclined filter plates 23. This arrangement causes some impurities to settle under gravity, significantly reducing the probability of the filter plates 23 becoming clogged. Furthermore, since the filter plates 23 are connected to the insert plate of the main body 21, they can be easily inserted and removed for cleaning and replacement. Because there are several filter plates 23, one can be directly removed for cleaning or replacement during the filtration process without significantly affecting the operation of the filter box 2, which is very convenient.
[0040] To prevent the growth of bacteria in the feeding water, the drive motor 13 can be controlled. When the drive motor 13 is working, it can drive the agitator 12 to rotate. Several sets of agitation structures, consisting of mounting rings 122 and agitator blades 123, are set on it. When the transmission rod 121 rotates, the agitation structure can agitate the water to keep it flowing, so that it can always be in a flowing state and can fully contact the air to exchange oxygen. This prevents the feeding water stored in the water tank body 11 from becoming stagnant water, which would affect the health of the poultry.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
