[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, specifically to a constant temperature drinking water device for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] In the livestock industry, the drinking water temperature is crucial to the health and growth of animals. To prevent reduced production and diseases caused by livestock drinking cold water in cold climates such as winter, it is usually necessary to equip farms with constant-temperature drinking troughs to provide livestock with drinking water at a suitable temperature, typically controlled between 8 and 15°C.

[0003] The existing technology still has some problems: existing devices often require manual intervention in water level control, and the degree of automation is low. This not only increases the workload of aquaculture workers, but may also lead to problems such as insufficient drinking water or overflow due to untimely water level control.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide a constant temperature drinking water device for aquaculture.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a constant temperature drinking water device for aquaculture, including a drinking trough with an open top and a water storage tank behind it. The two are connected by a connecting pipe fixed at their lower ends. Both the drinking trough and the water storage tank are equipped with thermostats. A water supply pipe is installed above the water storage tank, and the water supply pipe delivers constant temperature water to the water storage tank. A second connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the upper rear part of the water storage tank. The water supply pipe and the second connecting pipe are connected by a fixed control pipe. A sealing plug that cooperates with the second connecting pipe is installed in the control pipe. The sealing plug can seal and block the control pipe from delivering water to the second connecting pipe. The sealing plug is driven by an adjustment mechanism, which includes a float and a connecting component. The float rises and falls with the water level in the water storage tank. The connecting component drives the sealing plug to seal and open the control pipe based on the position of the float.

[0007] As an improvement, a fixed rod is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the water tank, the float is set in front of the fixed rod, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the rear end of the float. The middle and rear part of the rotating rod is hinged to the upper end of the fixed rod through a fixed insert shaft, and a torsion spring is provided at the rotational connection between the insert shaft and the fixed rod.

[0008] As an improvement, the rotating rod has a groove at the rear of the fixed rod, and a slider is slidably engaged in the groove. Connecting frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider, and a moving rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting frame. The upper end of the moving rod passes through the connecting pipe and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sealing plug.

[0009] As an improvement, the float can overcome the resistance of the torsion spring and float on the water surface, causing the rotating rod to rotate upward. When the float descends with the water surface, the torsion spring assists the rotating rod to rotate downward.

[0010] As an improvement, the diameter of the control pipe is larger than that of the water supply pipe and the connecting pipe.

[0011] As an improvement, the sealing plug is in a two-stage stepped shape, and a sealing part is provided at the connection between the lower part of the sealing plug and the second connecting pipe.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a constant temperature drinking water device for livestock, including a drinking trough 1 with an open top and a water storage tank 2 behind it. The two are connected by a connecting pipe 3 fixed at their lower ends. Support rods 16 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower ends of the drinking trough 1 and the water storage tank 2 to ensure stable placement of the device. A thermostat is installed in both the drinking trough 1 and the water storage tank 2 to maintain the water temperature between 8 and 15°C. A water supply pipe 4 is installed above the water storage tank 2 to supply constant temperature water to the water storage tank 2. The thermostats in the drinking trough 1 and the water storage tank 2 work continuously to maintain a constant internal water temperature. The connection and temperature balance of the water in the two are achieved through the connecting pipe 3, ensuring that the livestock can always drink constant temperature water.

[0024] Next, a connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the upper rear part of the water storage tank 2. The water supply pipe 4 is connected to the connecting pipe 5 through a fixed control pipe 6. A sealing plug 7 that cooperates with the connecting pipe 5 is installed inside the control pipe 6. The sealing plug 7 can seal and block the control pipe 6 from supplying water to the connecting pipe 5. The sealing plug 7 is driven by an adjustment mechanism, which includes a float 8 and a connecting assembly. The float 8 rises and falls with the water level in the water storage tank 2. The connecting assembly drives the sealing plug 7 to seal and open the control pipe 6 through the position of the float 8.

[0025] Then, a fixed rod 9 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the water tank 2. A float 8 is set in front of the fixed rod 9. A rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the float 8. The middle and rear part of the rotating rod 10 is hinged to the upper end of the fixed rod 9 through a fixed insert shaft 11. A torsion spring is provided at the rotating connection between the insert shaft 11 and the fixed rod 9. A sliding groove 12 is opened at the rear of the fixed rod 9. A slider 13 is slidably engaged in the sliding groove 12. A connecting frame 14 is fixedly connected to both sides of the slider 13. A moving rod 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting frame 14. The upper end of the moving rod 15 passes through the connecting pipe 2 5 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sealing plug 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the float 8 can overcome the resistance of the torsion spring and float on the water surface, causing the rotating rod 10 to rotate upward. When the float 8 descends with the water surface, the torsion spring assists the rotating rod 10 to rotate downward. The diameter of the control pipe 6 is larger than that of the water supply pipe 4 and the connecting pipe 5. The sealing plug 7 is in the shape of a two-stage step. A sealing part is provided at the connection between the lower part of the sealing plug 7 and the connecting pipe 5. The diameter of the lower part of the sealing plug 7 matches the diameter of the connecting pipe 5.

[0027] Therefore, in specific implementation, the water supply pipe 4 delivers constant temperature water to the water storage tank 2. When the water level in the water storage tank 2 reaches a certain height, the float 8 floats up, overcoming the resistance of the torsion spring and driving the rotating rod 10 to rotate upward around the insertion shaft 11. The sliding groove 12 on the rotating rod 10 drives the slider 13 to move, and through the connecting frame 14 and the moving rod 15, it pulls the sealing plug 7 down. The sealing plug 7 seals the connecting pipe 2 5, the control pipe 6 is sealed, and the water supply pipe 4 stops supplying water to the water storage tank 2.

[0028] Animals drink water in water trough 1. As the water level in water trough 1 drops, water flows from water tank 2 into water trough 1 through connecting pipe 1 3. As the water level in water tank 2 drops, float 8 drops with the water level. Torsion spring releases energy to assist rotating rod 10 in rotating downwards. Rotating rod 10 drives slider 13 to move through slide groove 12. Moving rod 15 pushes sealing plug 7 upwards. Sealing plug 7 separates from connecting pipe 2 5, control pipe 6 opens, and water supply pipe 4 supplies water to water tank 2. This cycle continues, ensuring that there is always a constant temperature of water in water trough 1. This achieves automatic water supply control, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustments and reducing labor intensity.

[0029] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
