Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in livestock. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is a production sector that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising, to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. It is different from self-sufficient livestock farming. The main characteristics of animal husbandry are centralization, large scale, and profit-oriented production. In the process of raising livestock, it is necessary to supplement salt in a concentrated manner, and the existing supplementation method is to supplement salt by mixing it with water.

[0003] However, in the existing technology for providing brine to livestock, brine residue will remain in the water tank during actual use. After a period of time, the water will evaporate, and the salt will remain in the water tank. When the brine is replenished next time, it will mix with the remaining salt, resulting in excessive salt replenishment, which will affect the health of the livestock.

[0004] Therefore, a salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in aquaculture is provided. Utility Model Content

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in aquaculture as described in this utility model, the water inlet structure includes an electromagnetic water valve, the inlet of which is equipped with a water pipe interface, and the outlet of which is connected to the housing structure.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in aquaculture as described in this utility model, the stirring structure includes a mixing motor, a rotating rod mounted on the rotating shaft of the mixing motor, and an agitator plate mounted on the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in aquaculture as described in this utility model, the water tank has a through hole in the center and the inner wall of the water tank is designed to be inclined.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in aquaculture as described in this utility model, the water distribution hopper is conical in shape, and the diameter of the bottom edge of the water distribution hopper is larger than the diameter of the central through hole of the water tank.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in aquaculture as described in this utility model, the telescopic rod is an electric telescopic rod.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by using a telescopic rod, the water tank can be moved upward, creating a gap between the water tank and the water distribution hopper.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4This embodiment provides a salt replenishment device for preventing salt accumulation in aquaculture, including a mixing component 100 and a salt inlet component 200 installed on one side of the mixing component 100, and further including:

[0030] A water tank assembly 300, designed to facilitate drinking for animals, is placed below the mixing assembly 100. The water tank assembly 300 includes a base plate 301, which serves as the base for the entire device, increasing its stability. An mounting block 302 is installed at the center of the top of the base plate 301, connecting to a water distribution hopper 303 at the top. The water distribution hopper 303 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting block 302. Three sets of telescopic rods 304 are installed on the top of the base plate 301, and a water trough 305 is installed on the top of each telescopic rod 304. A through hole is provided in the center of the water trough 305, and the interior of the water trough 305... The side walls are sloping, with an inner sloping design to facilitate water collection. The water distribution hopper 303 is conical in shape, which disperses the water flow, allowing it to flow down the conical wall and reducing the impact of the water flow to prevent splashing. The bottom diameter of the water distribution hopper 303 is larger than the diameter of the central through hole of the water tank 305. The telescopic rod 304 is an electric telescopic rod, which allows personnel to easily control the overall raising and lowering of the device. Electric telescopic rods can be purchased on e-commerce platforms, and the sellers will provide the necessary debugging services. The best option is the LUILEC brand mini electric actuator: WXTL-22N.

[0031] The salt feeding assembly 200 includes a salt feeder 201, which is preferably a screw feeder. The screw feeder is usually composed of several parts such as a drive unit, a head section, an intermediate section, a tail section, head and tail bearings, and a feeding and discharging device, which is the existing public technology. In this device, it is used as a salt feeding device, and this device is not limited to using a screw feeder. Other salt feeding devices can also be used. The discharge port of the salt feeder 201 is connected to the mixing assembly 100, and the inlet of the salt feeder 201 is equipped with a salt hopper 202.

[0032] The mixing assembly 100 includes a housing structure 101, a water inlet structure 102 installed on the side wall of the housing structure 101, and a stirring structure 103 installed on the inner wall of the housing structure 101. The stirring structure 103 rapidly mixes the water and salt inside, preventing incomplete mixing of the brine and resulting uneven concentration. The housing structure 101 includes a housing 101a, a solenoid valve 101b installed at the bottom outlet of the housing 101a, and a mounting bracket 101c installed on the outer wall of the housing 101a. The water inlet structure 102 includes a solenoid water valve 102a, which allows for easy passage of... The control device controls the water flow switch to enable remote control of the entire device, suitable for large-scale cluster use. The inlet of the electromagnetic water valve 102a is equipped with a water pipe interface 102b, and the outlet of the electromagnetic water valve 102a is connected to the shell structure 101. The stirring structure 103 includes a mixing motor 103a, which drives a rotating rod 103b at the bottom. The rotating rod 103b is mounted on the shaft of the mixing motor 103a, and an agitator plate 103c is mounted on the outer wall of the rotating rod 103b. The agitator plate 103c increases the speed of the agitated water flow.

[0033] This embodiment has the following workflow: When in use, first install the device in a suitable position, then place the water tank assembly 300 below the mixing assembly 100, and then fix the water tank assembly 300. When brine needs to be supplied, the salt feeder 201 and the solenoid water valve 102a can be turned on. When the water and salt enter the shell structure 101, the stirring structure 103 can be activated to stir the brine inside. After stirring, the solenoid switch valve 101b is turned on to let the water flow into the water distribution hopper 303, so that the brine is placed in the inclined groove between the water distribution hopper 303 and the water tank 305. After a period of time, the electric telescopic rod can be activated. When the electric telescopic rod is activated, it will push the water tank 305, causing the water tank 305 to separate from the water distribution hopper 303. At this time, because the water tank 305 is inclined and has no baffle, the brine in the water tank 305 will flow out, thereby preventing the brine from evaporating and forming salt crystals.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to provide a concise description of exemplary embodiments, not all features of actual embodiments (i.e., those features that are not relevant to the best mode of carrying out the present invention as currently considered, or those features that are not relevant to the implementation of the present invention) may be omitted.

[0035] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
