Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable livestock breeding water trough. Background Technology

[0002] Water troughs are an important piece of equipment in livestock farming.

[0003] Existing water troughs simply add water directly to the trough, allowing livestock to drink at any time, and then refill the trough when the water is empty. Some troughs are too large, and it takes livestock a long time to finish drinking the water after each refill. When drinking, livestock also carry debris to the bottom of the trough, and the water at the bottom can easily become contaminated and spoil if left there for too long, which can lead to livestock diseases in severe cases. Utility Model Content

[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] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an adjustable livestock water trough includes: a trough body 1 placed on the ground; a filter plate 2 located at the lower part of the trough body 1; a baffle plate 3 located above the filter plate 2, the baffle plate 3 sliding up and down inside the trough body 1; an adjustment mechanism 4 connected to the baffle plate 3, the adjustment mechanism 4 being used to adjust the height of the baffle plate 3; a circulation mechanism 5 located outside the trough body 1, the end of the circulation mechanism 5 communicating with the inner wall of the trough body 1; a water filling mechanism 6 located on the side wall of the trough body 1; and a limiting plate 7 located at the top of the trough body 1.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the filter plate 2 is provided with support legs 21. The support legs 21 are located on both sides of the long side of the filter plate 2 in the tank 1. Water can flow through the middle of the two support legs 21. The support legs 21 are in contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the tank 1 and support the filter plate 2. The support legs 21 can be connected to the inner wall of the tank 1 by bolts. The top of the filter plate 2 is provided with filter holes 22. There is a gap between the filter holes 22 and the bottom of the tank 1. The filter holes 22 are used to intercept impurities in the water to prevent impurities in the water source from floating up and being drunk by livestock, which could cause livestock to get sick.

[0025] The filter plate 2 has sliding posts 23 at its top, located at the four corners. A baffle plate 3 is slidably connected to the sliding posts 23, restricting its movement to vertically along these posts to prevent it from tipping over due to excessive force from livestock. The baffle plate 3 has water outlet holes 31, through which water flows upwards. Water can also flow out through the gap between the baffle plate 3 and the inner wall of the tank 1, increasing the efficiency of upward water flow. The water outlet holes 31 are located away from the livestock's drinking area, preventing damage during drinking and reducing the possibility of blockage.

[0026] The baffle plate 3 is used to limit the amount of water that livestock can drink. The baffle plate 3 divides the water in the trough 1 into two layers, and the livestock can only drink the water in the upper layer. At the same time, the baffle plate 3 can intercept pollutants and impurities, preventing a large number of impurities from polluting the bottom layer of water. This slows down the rate of water contamination during long-term storage, allowing the livestock to drink water healthily.

[0027] The adjusting mechanism 4 is used to drive the baffle plate 3 to rise and fall. As the baffle plate 3 descends, the water in the lower layer flows into the upper layer through the water outlet 31. The adjusting mechanism 4 includes a connecting frame 41 and an electric lifting rod 42. One end of the connecting frame 41 is screwed to the top of the baffle plate 3, and the other end of the connecting frame 41 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric lifting rod 42. When the tank 1 is full of water, the electric lifting rod 42 is at a high position. As the livestock drink the water, the electric lifting rod 42 retracts downward, which in turn causes the connecting frame 41 to drive the baffle plate 3 to descend.

[0028] The connecting frame 41 has two forks 411 at its front end, with the ends of the forks 411 screwed to both ends of the baffle plate 3. The forks 411 transmit the lifting force to both sides of the baffle plate 3, making the force distribution of the baffle plate 3 even when it moves up and down, thus making the movement of the baffle plate 3 more stable. The rear end of the forks 411 has a reinforcing rod 412, which is connected to the telescopic end of the electric lifting rod 42. The reinforcing rod 412 optimizes the stress structure of the electric lifting rod 42 and ensures the service life of the connecting frame 41 and the electric lifting rod 42.

[0029] A float 231 is installed on the sliding column 23, floating on the water surface. When the water level drops, the float 231 slides down the sliding column 23. A sensor switch 32 is installed on the side of the sliding column 23, moving up and down with the baffle 3. When the water level is 3 cm higher than the baffle 32, the float 231 triggers the sensor switch 32. The sensor switch 32 is connected to the electric lifting rod 42. After the sensor switch 32 is triggered, the electric lifting rod 42 moves downward a certain distance, allowing livestock to drink from the lower water level. This allows livestock to drink water at any time. For livestock whose water intake needs to be controlled, the electric lifting rod 42 is manually adjusted to limit the amount of water in the upper water level. When the drinking time is reached, the electric lifting rod 42 is moved downward again.

[0030] The circulation mechanism 5 keeps the water in the tank 1 in a circulating state, ensuring water flow and reducing the rate of mold growth. The circulation mechanism 5 includes a circulation pipe 51, a water pump 52, and a heating belt 53. The circulation pipe 51 connects to the interior of the tank 1 at both ends. The water pump 52 is located in the middle of the circulation pipe 51, pumping water from one end of the tank 1 to the other, thus circulating the water. This circulation primarily affects the lower layer of water, with minimal disturbance to the upper layer. The heating belt 53 covers the circulation pipe 51 and heats the water entering the circulation pipe 51, preventing the water in the tank 1 from freezing in winter and ensuring livestock can drink at any time.

[0031] The interface between the circulation pipe 51 and the tank 1 is located above the filter plate 2. All water entering the circulation pipe 51 is filtered through the sieve holes, thereby reducing the risk of the circulation pipe 51 being blocked by impurities in the water.

[0032] The water filling mechanism 6 includes a control valve 61 and a water filling pipe 62. The top of the water filling pipe 62 is connected to the water source. The control valve 61 is located in the middle of the water filling pipe 62. The control valve 61 controls whether water from the water source can enter the water filling pipe 62. The bottom of the water filling pipe 62 is connected to the bottom of the filter plate 2. After water is added to the water filling pipe 62, the water will be filtered by the filter plate 2.

[0033] The limiting plate 7 restricts the drinking range of livestock. The two side walls of the limiting plate 7 are located within the range of the sliding column 23. The width of the limiting plate 7 is smaller than the width of the trough 1, thereby preventing livestock from damaging the sliding column 23 while drinking. At the same time, the adjustment structure is also located outside the limiting plate 7 to prevent livestock from damaging it.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
