Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeding trough cleaning, specifically a sewage discharge mechanism for cleaning feeding measurement equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Feeding measurement equipment used in duck breeding is mainly used to accurately record data such as feed intake, feeding time, and feeding frequency of breeding ducks, providing a scientific basis for feed formulation optimization, breeding selection, and breeding management. Individual identification feeding measurement station is currently the most commonly used equipment in duck breeding. Its core consists of a feeding trough, an individual identification device, a weight sensor, and a data recording system. Breeding ducks eat through the feeding trough, which needs to be cleaned and drained regularly to ensure the hygiene of the ducks' feeding.

[0003] Existing technology uses spray nozzles to clean and drain feed troughs. However, the water jets from the nozzles splash when they hit the feed troughs, and as the water flows outwards, it easily washes away the residue inside the feed troughs, polluting the breeding environment of the ducks. Furthermore, when using spray nozzles to clean the feed troughs, it is difficult to control the force of the water jets, resulting in some firmly adhered residues not being effectively washed away.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a sewage discharge mechanism for cleaning feeding measurement equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problem that while existing methods use spray nozzles for cleaning and draining feeding troughs, the water jets splash upon impact with the trough, easily carrying away residues and polluting the duck breeding environment. Furthermore, controlling the water flow force when using spray nozzles makes it difficult to effectively wash away some firmly adhered residues. Therefore, this invention proposes a draining mechanism for cleaning feeding measurement equipment.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The sewage discharge mechanism for cleaning a feeding measurement device according to this utility model includes a water tank. The top of the water tank has a water inlet. Two sleeves are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank. A piston plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve. A lower pressure plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston plate. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the lower pressure plate through the sleeve. Several nozzles are fixedly connected at equal intervals on one side of the sliding plate. The nozzles are installed at an angle. A through groove is opened inside the lower pressure plate. A water inlet groove is opened on the outer wall of the lower pressure plate. The water inlet groove communicates with the through groove. A hose is fixedly connected to the top of the nozzle. One end of the hose extends into the inside of the through groove. A water supply unit is provided inside the sleeve. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. Both sliding plates are slidably connected to the fixed frame.

[0007] Preferably, the water supply unit includes a fixed shaft, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the housing. The piston plate is disposed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft and slidably connected to the fixed shaft. Two grooves are symmetrically formed on both sides of the fixed shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixing frame is rotatably connected to a bidirectional lead screw, and the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw is connected to two sliders through a lead screw and nut pair. The two sliders are symmetrically arranged and are slidably connected to the fixing frame. The two sliders are respectively fixedly connected to two slide plates. The bottom of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to a motor. The output end of the motor extends into the interior of the fixing frame and is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear. The outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear, and the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed together.

[0009] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower pressure plate and above the nozzle, and the baffle is configured to be arc-shaped.

[0010] Preferably, a transparent panel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The present invention discloses a wastewater discharge mechanism for cleaning a feeding measurement device. A hydraulic cylinder controls a sliding plate to move upwards, which in turn moves a lower pressure plate upwards, causing a piston plate to move upwards. When the piston plate moves to the groove on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, clean water in the water tank flows along the groove to the bottom of the piston plate. When the hydraulic cylinder controls the sliding plate to move downwards, the piston plate's pressure causes the nozzle to spray water. This process repeats, facilitating a progressive, top-to-bottom rinsing of the inner wall of the feeding trough, improving the rinsing effect on residues in the feeding trough. The rinsing stops when the nozzle moves upwards to prevent water from overflowing the feeding trough and polluting the surrounding aquaculture environment. Furthermore, by tilting the nozzle, the downward-sloping water flow is directed downwards, creating an oblique impact with gravity, forming an angle with the residues adhering to the feeding trough, thus improving the cleaning and wastewater discharge effect.

[0014] 2. The wastewater discharge mechanism for cleaning a feeding measurement device described in this utility model, when some residues in the feeding trough are firmly adhered, controls two sliding plates to move away from each other via a motor, causing the two sets of nozzles to move away from each other. After the two sets of nozzles move away from each other, they gradually approach the inner wall of the feeding trough, thereby increasing the impact force of the water jets from the nozzles and increasing the impact force on the firmly adhered residues. The baffle provided can protect the top of the nozzles and prevent water from splashing outwards. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a sewage discharge mechanism for cleaning a feeding measurement device, including a water tank 1. The top of the water tank 1 has a water inlet 2. Two sleeve boxes 7 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 1. A piston plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve box 7. A lower pressure plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston plate 8. The bottom of the lower pressure plate 9 passes through the sleeve box 7 and is slidably connected to a sliding plate 5. Several nozzles 6 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on one side of the sliding plate 5. The nozzles 6 are installed at an angle. A through groove 10 is opened inside the lower pressure plate 9. A water inlet groove 11 is opened on the outer wall of the lower pressure plate 9. The water inlet groove 11 communicates with the through groove 10. A hose 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the nozzles 6. One end of the hose 12 extends into the inside of the through groove 10. A water supply unit is provided inside the sleeve box 7. A hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 1. A fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3. Both sliding plates 5 are slidably connected to the fixing frame 4.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, clean water is filled into the water tank 1 through the water inlet 2. The water in the water tank 1 flows to the bottom of the piston plate 8 through the water supply unit. The hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated to control the fixed frame 4 to move downward, causing the slide plate 5 to move downward, which in turn drives the nozzle 6 to move downward. At the same time, the slide plate 5 moves downward, driving the lower pressure plate 9 and the piston plate 8 to move downward. Through the downward movement of the piston plate 8, the clean water located below the piston plate 8 in the sleeve 7 is squeezed, causing the clean water to enter the through groove 10 along the water inlet groove 11 and flow to the nozzle 6 along the hose 12. The clean water is sprayed out through the nozzle 6 to wash and remove dirt from the inner wall of the feeding trough. Furthermore, by installing the nozzle 6 at an angle, the nozzle 6 sprays a downward-sloping water flow. The downward-sloping water flow can form an oblique impact with the gravity, forming a certain angle with the residues adhering to the feeding trough, thereby improving the cleaning and removal effect of the residues.

[0025] Specifically, the water supply unit includes a fixed shaft 13, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 7. The piston plate 8 is located on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 13 and is slidably connected to the fixed shaft 13. Two grooves 14 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the fixed shaft 13.

[0026] With the above technical solution, when water is added to the box 7, the hydraulic cylinder 3 controls the slide plate 5 to move upward, which drives the lower pressure plate 9 to move upward, causing the piston plate 8 to move upward. When the piston plate 8 moves to the groove 14 on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 13, the clean water in the water tank 1 flows along the groove 14 to the bottom of the piston plate 8. When the hydraulic cylinder 3 controls the slide plate 5 to move downward, the piston plate 8 squeezes the nozzle 6 to spray water. This process is repeated to facilitate progressive rinsing of the inner wall of the feeding trough from top to bottom, improving the rinsing effect of residues in the feeding trough. The rinsing stops when the nozzle 6 moves upward to prevent water from overflowing the feeding trough and polluting the surrounding breeding environment during the upward movement.

[0027] Specifically, a bidirectional lead screw 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 4. Two sliders 16 are connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 15 through a lead screw nut pair. The two sliders 16 are symmetrically arranged and are slidably connected to the fixed frame 4. The two sliders 16 are fixedly connected to two slide plates 5 respectively. A motor 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 4. The output end of the motor 17 extends into the interior of the fixed frame 4 and is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 18. A second bevel gear 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 15. The first bevel gear 18 and the second bevel gear 19 are meshed together.

[0028] With the above technical solution, when some of the residue in the feeding trough is firmly adhered, the motor 17 is started, which drives the first bevel gear 18 to rotate, causing the second bevel gear 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the bidirectional lead screw 15 to rotate, causing the two sliders 16 to move away from each other, which in turn drives the two sliding plates 5 to move away from each other, causing the two sets of nozzles 6 to move away from each other. After the two sets of nozzles 6 move away from each other, they gradually approach the inner wall of the feeding trough, thereby increasing the impact force of the water jet from the nozzles 6 and increasing the impact force on the firmly adhered residue.

[0029] Specifically, a baffle 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower pressure plate 9 and above the nozzle 6. The baffle 20 is arc-shaped.

[0030] Through the above technical solution, the baffle 20 can protect the top of the nozzle 6 and prevent water from splashing outwards.

[0031] Specifically, a transparent panel 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of water tank 1.

[0032] With the above technical solution, the water level in the water tank 1 can be viewed through the transparent panel 24, making it convenient to replenish water in a timely manner.

[0033] Specifically, a mounting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank 1. Two sets of casters 22 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the mounting bracket 21, and a handrail 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket 21.

[0034] The above technical solution allows the water tank 1 to be mounted above the feeding trough using two sets of casters 22, and the water tank 1 to be moved using the handrail 23, so as to clean and drain different parts of the feeding trough.

[0035] In use, the water tank 1 is mounted above the feeding trough using two sets of casters 22. Water is filled into the water tank 1 through the water inlet 2. While filling the casing 7 with water, the hydraulic cylinder 3 controls the sliding plate 5 to move upwards, causing the lower pressure plate 9 to move upwards, which in turn moves the piston plate 8 upwards. When the piston plate 8 moves to the groove 14 on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 13, the water in the water tank 1 flows along the groove 14 to below the piston plate 8. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 3 controls the fixed frame 4 to move downwards, causing the sliding plate 5 to move downwards, which in turn moves the nozzle 6 towards... As the slide plate 5 moves downward, it simultaneously drives the lower pressure plate 9 and piston plate 8 downward. The downward movement of piston plate 8 compresses the water below piston plate 8 within the casing 7, causing the water to flow along the inlet groove 11 into the through groove 10, and then along the hose 12 to the nozzle 6. The nozzle 6 sprays out the water, rinsing and removing waste from the inner wall of the feeding trough. Furthermore, by tilting the nozzle 6, it sprays a downward-sloping water stream. This downward-sloping water stream, aided by gravity, creates an oblique impact, dissolving any residue adhering to the food inside the feeding trough. The residue forms a certain angle, improving the cleaning and removal effect. This process is repeated to facilitate progressive rinsing of the inner wall of the feeding trough from top to bottom, enhancing the rinsing effect of residues inside the trough. The water flow stops when the nozzle 6 moves upward, preventing water from overflowing the feeding trough and polluting the surrounding aquaculture environment. The baffle 20 protects the area above the nozzle 6, preventing water from splashing outwards. When some residues in the feeding trough are firmly adhered, the motor 17 is started, driving the first bevel gear 18 to rotate. The movement causes the second bevel gear 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the bidirectional lead screw 15 to rotate, causing the two sliders 16 to move away from each other, which in turn drives the two sliding plates 5 to move away from each other, causing the two sets of nozzles 6 to move away from each other. After the two sets of nozzles 6 move away from each other, they gradually approach the inner wall of the feeding trough, thereby increasing the impact force of the water jets sprayed by the nozzles 6 and increasing the impact force on firmly adhered residues. The water level in the water tank 1 can be viewed through the transparent panel 24, making it easy to replenish water in time. The handrail 23 makes it easy to move the water tank 1 to clean and drain different parts of the feeding trough.
