Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a solar-powered water collection device for animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy. Animal husbandry requires providing drinking water for livestock.

[0003] The announcement number is CN220799551U, which discloses "a livestock drinking water device, including a drinking trough, a water storage tank, a cleaning support plate, a drive gear disk, a driven gear disk, a supporting circular plate, a fastening nut, and an installation support plate.

[0004] There are still some drawbacks in its use. When cleaning the water trough with a cleaning brush, if there is water inside the trough, the debris scraped off from the inner wall of the trough will mix into the water. This process requires manually draining the water and debris at the same time after driving the livestock away, which is quite inconvenient. In addition, when the livestock drink, the debris they carry on their bodies will also mix into the water, which will make the drinking water turbid and make it difficult to clean the impurities in the drinking water and the debris on the surface of the livestock. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solar-powered water collection device for livestock, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A solar-powered water collection device for livestock includes:

[0008] A drinking trough, wherein a collection chamber is fixedly embedded in the bottom of the drinking trough and the collection chamber extends through the drinking trough, and a hollow column is fixedly embedded in the upper end of the collection chamber, and a solar panel is fixedly installed on the upper end of the hollow column;

[0009] A filter assembly is disposed on the outside of a hollow column. The filter assembly includes a fixing ring, a filter plate is fixedly installed on the outside of the fixing ring, and multiple scrapers are fixedly installed at equal angles on the lower surface of the filter plate. A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the hollow column.

[0010] The spraying assembly is located above the filter plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer surface of the collection chamber is provided with multiple feeding slots at equal angles, and the outer surface of the collection chamber is provided with multiple No. 1 sliding grooves at equal angles. An annular filter screen is slidably connected inside the collection chamber, and a sliding frame is fixedly installed at the upper end of the annular filter screen.

[0012] Preferably, the sliding frame passes through the first sliding groove and is slidably connected to the first sliding groove. A spring is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sliding frame, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface inside the collection chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper end of the hollow column is fixedly mounted with a second motor that can drive the lead screw to rotate via a bracket. A sliding sleeve is screwed onto the outside of the lead screw. A second sliding groove is opened on the outside of the hollow column. A stepped ring is slidably fitted onto the outside of the hollow column. One end of the sliding sleeve passes through the second sliding groove and is fixedly connected to the stepped ring.

[0014] Preferably, a gear ring is rotatably connected to the outer side of the stepped ring, the gear ring is fixedly connected to the fixed ring via a round rod, a No. 1 motor is fixedly installed on the outer side of the stepped ring, and a gear that meshes and drives with the gear ring is fixedly installed at the output end of the No. 1 motor.

[0015] Furthermore, the spraying assembly includes:

[0016] The water distribution pipe is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the filter plate;

[0017] Multiple nozzles are fixedly installed at multiple ports of the water distribution pipe.

[0018] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed inside the hollow column, and the water inlet pipe is fixedly installed through the collection chamber. A solenoid valve is fixedly installed at the upper end of the water inlet pipe, and the upper end of the water distribution pipe is movably connected to the solenoid valve.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. The No. 2 motor drives the sliding sleeve to move the filter plate down. After the filter plate enters the water tank, it squeezes the water inside the water tank and pushes the impurities to the bottom of the water tank. Then the No. 1 motor drives the filter plate to rotate the scraper. When the scraper rotates, it collects the impurities into the collection chamber, thus automatically filtering the drinking water, reducing the impurities in the drinking water and preventing the drinking water from becoming turbid.

[0021] 2. When the filter assembly moves downward, the fixed ring squeezes the sliding frame, pushing the annular filter screen downward and exposing the feed chute. The scraper rotates with the filter plate, moving the impurities in the filtered water below the filter plate towards the center. They then enter the collection chamber through the feed chute. After filtration, the filter plate moves upward to reset, and the spring pushes the sliding frame upward to reset, causing the annular filter screen to move upward to block the feed chute. The impurities are then removed from the slot at the top of the collection chamber, making it easier to collect and process the filtered impurities.

[0022] 3. The water inlet pipe is connected to an external water tank for continuous water supply. When not filtering drinking water, the filter plate moves up so that the upper end of the water distribution pipe is inserted into the lower end of the solenoid valve. This allows the solenoid valve to open, allowing water to enter the water distribution pipe and then spray out from multiple nozzles. This sprays water mist in multiple directions to cool the livestock and wash away dirt from their bodies, reducing the growth of bacteria and viruses. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a solar-powered water collection device for livestock includes a drinking trough 1. A collection chamber 101 is fixedly embedded in the bottom of the drinking trough 1 and extends through the drinking trough 1. A hollow column 107 is fixedly embedded in the upper end of the collection chamber 101. A solar panel 108 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the hollow column 107. The solar panel 108 converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. It provides power to the water collection device so that the water collection device can work normally. A filter assembly 2 is set on the outside of the hollow column 107. The filter assembly 2 includes a fixing ring 201. A filter plate 202 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the fixing ring 201. Multiple scrapers 203 are fixedly mounted at equal angles on the lower surface of the filter plate 202. A lead screw 208 is rotatably connected inside the hollow column 107. A spraying assembly 3 is set above the filter plate 202.

[0031] Specifically, the filter assembly 2 moves downward, the filter plate 202 squeezes the drinking water inside the water trough 1, the drinking water passes through the filter plate 202, the filter plate 202 filters out impurities in the water, when not filtering, the filter assembly 2 moves upward, the spray assembly 3 works, spraying water mist around the water trough 1 to cool the livestock and also to wash the dirt off the surface of the livestock's body.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a second motor capable of driving the lead screw 208 to rotate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the hollow column 107 via a bracket. A sliding sleeve 209 is screwed onto the outer side of the lead screw 208. A second sliding groove 109 is opened on the outer side of the hollow column 107. A stepped ring 205 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the hollow column 107. One end of the sliding sleeve 209 passes through the second sliding groove 109 and is fixedly connected to the stepped ring 205. A gear ring 204 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the stepped ring 205. The gear ring 204 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 201 via a round rod. A first motor 206 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the stepped ring 205. A gear 207 that meshes and drives the gear ring 204 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 206.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second motor operates, driving the lead screw 208 to rotate. Through the screw connection between the lead screw 208 and the sliding sleeve 209, and under the sliding limit of the sliding sleeve 209 and the second sliding groove 109, the sliding sleeve 209 drives the filter plate 202 to move downward. After the filter plate 202 enters the water tank 1, it squeezes the water inside the water tank 1, squeezing the impurities to the bottom of the water tank 1. Then, the first motor 206 operates, and through the meshing transmission of the gear 207 and the gear ring 204, under the rotational connection of the stepped ring 205 and the gear ring 204, the gear ring 204 drives the fixed ring 201 to rotate, causing the filter plate 202 to drive the scraper 203 to rotate. The scraper 202 has an arc-shaped structure. When the scraper 203 rotates, the scraper 203 gathers the impurities towards the center and collects them uniformly into the collection chamber 101, thereby automatically filtering the drinking water, reducing impurities in the drinking water, and preventing the drinking water from becoming turbid.

[0035] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of feed slots 102 are provided at equal angles on the outer surface of the collection bin 101, and a plurality of first-order sliding grooves 103 are provided at equal angles on the outer surface of the collection bin 101. An annular filter screen 104 is slidably connected inside the collection bin 101, and a sliding frame 105 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the annular filter screen 104. The sliding frame 105 passes through the first-order sliding groove 103 and is slidably connected to the first-order sliding groove 103. A spring 106 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sliding frame 105, and one end of the spring 106 is fixedly connected to the lower surface inside the collection bin 101.

[0036] In specific implementation, when the filter assembly 2 moves down, the fixing ring 201 adheres to the collection chamber 101 and moves down. The fixing ring 201 squeezes the sliding frame 105, pushing the annular filter screen 104 down and exposing the feed trough 102. When the scraper 203 adheres to the bottom of the drinking tank 1, the scraper 203 rotates with the rotation of the filter plate 202, moving the impurities in the filtered water below the filter plate 202 towards the center. They enter the collection chamber 101 through the feed trough 102. After filtration, the filter plate 202 moves up to reset, and the spring 106 pushes the sliding frame 105 up to reset, causing the annular filter screen 104 to move up and block the feed trough 102. Then, the impurities are removed from the holes and slots at the top of the collection chamber 101, making it easier to collect and process the filtered impurities.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to compensate for the problem that the water tank 1 only has the function of supplying water and has limited functions.

[0039] like Figure 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the spraying assembly 3 includes: a water distribution pipe 303 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the filter plate 202, and multiple nozzles 304 fixedly installed at multiple ports of the water distribution pipe 303; a water inlet pipe 301 is fixedly installed inside the hollow column 107, and the water inlet pipe 301 is fixedly installed through the collection chamber 101, a solenoid valve 302 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the water inlet pipe 301, and the upper end of the water distribution pipe 303 is movably connected to the solenoid valve 302.

[0040] In practice, the water inlet pipe 301 is connected to an external water tank for continuous water supply. When not filtering drinking water, the filter plate 202 moves upward, so that the upper end of the water distribution pipe 303 is inserted into the lower end of the solenoid valve 302. This allows the solenoid valve 302 to open, allowing water to enter the water distribution pipe 303 and then spray out from multiple nozzles 304. This sprays water mist in multiple directions to cool the livestock and wash away dirt from the surface of the livestock's body, reducing the growth of bacteria and viruses.

[0041] In this utility model, in order to facilitate the operator's control of the utility model, a PLC controller can be set up, and the solar panel 108, motor 206, solenoid valve 302 and motor 2 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller. The PLC controller is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
