Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water supply device technology, specifically a water supply device for chicken farming. Background Technology
[0002] In chicken farming, water supply devices are indispensable. Patent document CN 222193680 U discloses a water supply device for chicken farming, which solves the problems of impurities easily falling into the water trough when chickens fight and fly around in the farm, and food residue left on their beaks after drinking water easily remaining in the trough for a long time and not being cleaned in time. However, in actual use, because it uses a filter box for collection, to avoid excessive accumulation of residue in the filter box or clogging of the filter plate, manual observation through a transparent window is required to determine when to clean the filter plate. Furthermore, disassembling the base and filter plate for cleaning increases the workload of staff. In large-scale farming scenarios, this manual observation and operation method is inefficient and cannot meet actual needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model mainly provides a water supply device for chicken farming, which solves the problem that the existing technology requires manual disassembly to clean the residue on the filter plate, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A water supply device for chicken farming includes a water storage tank with a drain pipe connected to a main pipeline and an inlet control valve. A drain pipe with a drain control valve is located at the lower end of the water storage tank. A water supply trough is positioned below the water storage tank and equipped with a lifting mechanism. An inclined plate is mounted on the lifting mechanism, moving up and down within the water supply trough. A drain outlet is located on the side wall of the water supply trough, and a pushing mechanism is located on the side opposite the drain outlet to push residue from the inclined plate towards the drain outlet. A drain channel is located at the drain outlet, and a collection trough is detachably connected to the lower end of the drain channel. The collection trough can be connected to the lower end of the drain channel using any existing detachable connection method, as long as it allows for easy entry of residue into the collection trough after connection and fixation. Examples of suitable methods include using hooks or threaded connections. The collection trough can also be made of garbage bags, which are hung directly at the lower end of the sewage channel. During use, when the main pipeline is laid out in a straight line in places like chicken coops, multiple T-junctions are installed on it, connecting to the drainage pipe of this application. Water is introduced into the storage tank by opening and closing the inlet control valve. When the water in the water tank needs to be drained, the lifting mechanism is activated to raise the inclined plate within the water tank. As the inclined plate rises, the residue remaining on it is carried to a higher position, where the lower end of the inclined plate connects to the sewage outlet. At this point, the pushing mechanism pushes the residue on the inclined plate towards the sewage outlet, and the residue falls into the collection trough below through the sewage channel after passing through the outlet. After the sewage is drained, the lifting mechanism lowers the inclined plate, restoring it to the normal water supply position. During water supply, the storage tank receives water from the main pipeline through the drainage pipe. When drainage is needed, the drainage control valve is opened. By employing the structure of this application, the lifting and pushing mechanisms work together to discharge residue from the inclined plate via mechanical components, allowing the residue to be collected in a collection trough. When using the collection trough, there is no need to worry about excessive residue clogging the filter plate or accumulating in the filter box; the collection trough can be directly disassembled and replaced, significantly reducing the workload of staff and improving work efficiency. The rising of the inclined plate and the pushing action of the pushing mechanism effectively push the residue towards the drain outlet, improving the quality of residue removal and greatly maintaining the cleanliness of the water tank, ensuring water quality. Simultaneously, the pushing mechanism effectively avoids the need for large amounts of water to flush away residue, as required by existing technologies; only a small amount of water is needed to rinse the inclined plate surface after pushing. The lower end of the drain channel can be detachably connected to the collection trough for convenient centralized collection and treatment of residue, maintaining a clean aquaculture environment.
[0006] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting guide rod disposed along the upper edge of the water supply tank and a motor disposed outside the water supply tank. A lifting screw is disposed on the output end of the motor, and the lifting screw is axially parallel to the lifting guide rod. An L-shaped connecting plate is disposed on the inclined plate, and the L-shaped connecting plate is slidably connected to the lifting guide rod and threadedly connected to the lifting screw. In use, when the inclined plate needs to be raised, the motor is energized and rotates, driving the lifting screw to rotate. Since the L-shaped connecting plate is threadedly connected to the lifting screw and slidably engaged with the lifting guide rod, under the action of threaded transmission, the L-shaped connecting plate rises smoothly along the axial direction of the lifting guide rod, thereby driving the inclined plate to rise synchronously. When the motor reverses, the inclined plate descends and resets along the guide rod with the L-shaped connecting plate. Throughout the process, the lifting guide rod plays a guiding role, ensuring that the inclined plate does not deviate during lifting and lowering. Specifically, the length of the push plate is between the L-shaped connecting plates on both sides, preventing it from colliding with either of them. With this structure, the transmission method of the lifting screw and threaded connection has high precision and stability. Combined with the guidance of the lifting guide rod, the lifting height of the tilting plate can be precisely controlled, avoiding deviation in the position of residue falling due to shaking.
[0007] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder disposed on the outside of the water supply tank. A push plate is provided at the output end of the pushing cylinder. The push plate is located inside the water supply tank. Driven by the pushing cylinder, the push plate pushes the residue on the inclined plate towards the drain outlet after it has risen. In use, when the inclined plate rises to the set position, the pushing cylinder drives the push plate to move horizontally along the inner wall of the water supply tank towards the drain outlet. The push plate slides tightly against the surface of the inclined plate, pushing residual food residue and impurities along the inclined surface towards the drain outlet. After draining, the cylinder piston retracts, and the push plate returns to its original position. This structure ensures a tight fit between the push plate and the surface of the inclined plate, resulting in high-quality removal of attached residue and ensuring the cleanliness of the water in the water supply tank.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower end of the water storage tank is configured as a funnel, and the drain pipe is located at the lowest end of the water storage tank. This funnel-shaped structure allows sediment to be efficiently discharged with the water flow, reducing the accumulation of impurities in the water storage tank, extending the water cleaning cycle, and also resulting in low water flow resistance and fast drainage.
[0009] Furthermore, the system includes at least four lifting guide rods, with two lifting guide rods symmetrically arranged along the upper edge of the water supply tank. The upper end of each lifting guide rod is detachably connected to the lower support of the water storage tank. The motor is mounted on the outer wall of the water supply tank, and the outer edge of the L-shaped connecting plate on the same side extends to the position above the motor and is threadedly connected to the lifting screw. Specifically, the lifting guide rods can be detachably connected to the support in any existing manner to achieve the connection and position fixation of the water storage tank and the water supply tank. For example, the support can be rotatably connected to the lower end of the water storage tank via a bearing seat, with a threaded hole on the support and a threaded section at the upper end of the lifting guide rod, and the two can be threaded together. Alternatively, the support can have an insertion hole, and after the lifting guide rod is inserted into the insertion hole, the support and the lifting guide rod can be fixed by bolts. With this structure, four lifting guide rods are symmetrically distributed along the upper edge of the water supply tank, forming a stable support structure; the motor is installed on the outer wall, and its output lifting screw is threadedly connected to the L-shaped connecting plate on the same side. The motor drives the inclined plate to move up and down along the guide rods by reversing forward and reverse; the upper end of the guide rod is detachably connected to the rod seat on the lower side of the water storage tank, which facilitates the overall installation or disassembly and maintenance of the device.
[0010] Beneficial effects: This application, through the cooperation of a lifting mechanism and a pushing mechanism, can discharge residue from the inclined plate via mechanical components and collect it in a collection trough. Using a collection trough eliminates concerns about excessive residue clogging the filter plate or accumulating in the filter box; the collection trough can be directly disassembled and replaced, significantly reducing workload and improving efficiency. The rising of the inclined plate and the pushing action of the pushing mechanism effectively push the residue towards the drain outlet, improving residue removal quality and maintaining cleanliness in the water tank, ensuring water quality. Furthermore, the pushing mechanism effectively avoids the need for large amounts of water to flush away residue, as required by existing technologies; only a small amount of water is needed to rinse the inclined plate surface after pushing. The lower end of the drain channel can be detachably connected to the collection trough for convenient centralized collection and treatment of residue, maintaining a clean aquaculture environment.

The push plate 1002 is located inside the water supply tank 6. The push plate 1002, driven by the pushing cylinder 1001, pushes the residue on the inclined plate 8 after it rises towards the drain 9. The lower end of the water storage tank 1 is configured as a funnel shape, and the drain pipe 4 is located at the lowest end of the water storage tank 1. The system includes at least four lifting guide rods 701, with two lifting guide rods 701 symmetrically arranged along the upper edge of the water supply tank 6.

The collection trough 12 can also be made of garbage bags, which are directly hung at the lower end of the sewage discharge channel 11.
[0018] In use, when the main pipeline is arranged in a straight line in a chicken coop, etc., multiple T-pipes are installed on it, which are connected to the diversion pipe 2 of this application through the T-pipes, and water is introduced into the water storage tank 1 by opening and closing the water inlet control valve 3; when the water in the water supply tank 6 needs to be drained, the lifting mechanism 7 is activated to raise the inclined plate 8 in the water supply tank 6.

At the same time, the use of the pushing mechanism 10 effectively avoids the need to use a large amount of water to flush away the residue as in the prior art. Only a small amount of water is needed to rinse the surface of the inclined plate 8 after pushing. The lower end of the drain channel 11 can be detachably connected to the collection tank 12 for convenient centralized collection and treatment of residue, keeping the breeding environment clean.
