Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drinking water pipe components, and more specifically to a drinking water pipe component for chicken cages. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken cage drinking pipe assemblies are a crucial component of poultry farming equipment, primarily ensuring that chickens have access to clean and sufficient drinking water. This system is designed to improve farming efficiency while protecting the health and welfare of the chickens. For example, Chinese patent application number 2023205406232 discloses a multi-layered chicken cage with an internal structure for supplying water to poultry, namely a cone valve drinker at the top and a water-receiving structure at the bottom to collect dripping water.

[0003] The current water pipe assembly in chicken coops still has the following problems when in use:

[0004] 1. When poultry peck cone valve waterers are used, water will flow into the lower water trough and be discharged through the trough. However, feathers, chicken droppings and other debris may fall into the water trough during use. These debris move with the water flow and when they enter the collection pipe, they will affect the drainage efficiency of the outlet pipe and may also cause blockage.

[0005] 2. When rinsing the water trough, because it is located inside the chicken coop, it is not convenient to clean out the impurities inside the water trough. These chicken feathers and other debris will affect the efficiency of cleaning and drainage, and increase the difficulty of cleaning.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a chicken cage drinking pipe assembly to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a chicken coop drinking pipe assembly, which can intercept impurities in the V-shaped water trough and prevent the water outlet pipe from becoming clogged, while also improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A chicken cage drinking pipe assembly includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe installed on the chicken cage. The end of the inlet pipe is connected to a water supply frame that passes through the chicken cage. The bottom of the water supply frame is equipped with cone valve drinkers arranged at equal intervals. The end of the outlet pipe is connected to a water trough connector. The end of the water trough connector away from the outlet pipe is provided with a sleeve. A V-shaped water trough is provided below the water supply frame. One end of the V-shaped water trough is inserted into the sleeve. An interceptor is placed inside the V-shaped water trough. The interceptor is made of elastic material.

[0010] The interceptor includes a middle part, a snap-fit ​​part, and a pressing part.

The two sides of the V-shaped water tank are provided with curved parts, and the snap-fit ​​part is located below the curved parts. The folded edge plays a limiting role for the snap-fit ​​part. The interceptor is provided with a baffle.

[0011] Preferably, in order to improve the interception efficiency, the baffle is provided with a notch, and the notch is oriented towards the end away from the water tank connector.

[0012] Preferably, in order to reduce production costs, the baffle is made by bending the structure on the interceptor.

[0013] Preferably, another structure to improve efficiency is that the baffle is provided with staggered folded edges, and the folded edges are positioned towards the end away from the water tank connector.

[0014] Preferably, in order to facilitate disassembly and cleaning, the bottom of the baffle is provided with a first mounting groove away from the folded edge, and the middle part is provided with a second mounting groove away from the water tank connector. The baffle is installed on the second mounting groove through the first mounting groove.

[0015] Preferably, to facilitate removal and cleaning, the pressing part extends into a V-shaped water groove.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This device is equipped with an interceptor component inside the V-shaped water tank, which can intercept solid impurities inside the V-shaped water tank, preventing impurities from entering the water outlet pipe and causing pipe blockage.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6A chicken cage drinking pipe assembly includes an inlet pipe 102 and an outlet pipe 103 installed on a chicken cage 101. The inlet pipe 102 is connected to an external water supply pipe for supplying drinking water to a water supply rack 104. The end of the inlet pipe 102 is connected to the water supply rack 104, which is installed inside the chicken cage 101. The bottom of the water supply rack 104 is equipped with equally spaced cone valve drinkers 105. The core of the cone valve drinker 105 is a cone-shaped valve. When the poultry presses the trigger device on the drinker with its beak... When the conical valve opens, water flows out for the poultry to drink; once the poultry stop pressing, the valve automatically closes, thus preventing continuous water flow and achieving the purpose of saving water. This is a mature device and will not be described in detail here. The end of the water outlet pipe 103 is connected to a water tank connector 106. In one embodiment, the water tank connector 106 is larger than the conventional water tank connector 106 on the market, so as to better fix the V-shaped water tank 108 through the sleeve part 107, and at the same time improve drainage efficiency. The end of the water trough connector 106 away from the water outlet pipe 103 is provided with a sleeve part 107. A V-shaped water trough 108 is provided below the water supply rack 104. It should be noted that the V-shaped water trough 108 in this application is not used to store water, but to catch the water dripping from the cone valve drinker 105 when poultry peck at it. At the same time, frequent pecking of the cone valve drinker 105 by poultry can cause water leakage at the connection gap. It is used to catch the dripping water when the leakage cannot be detected in time. One end of the V-shaped water trough 108 is inserted into the sleeve part 107. An interceptor 109 is placed inside the V-shaped water trough 108. The interceptor 109 is made of elastic material, preferably an elastic metal sheet, which is easy to install in the V-shaped water trough 108 and also easy to disassemble.

[0030] The interceptor 109 includes a middle portion 110, a snap-fit ​​portion 111, and a pressing portion 112. The snap-fit ​​portion 111 is used to snap below the curved portion 113 to confine the interceptor 109 within the V-shaped water tank 108. The snap-fit ​​portion 111 is located at both ends of the middle portion 110, and the pressing portion 112 is located at the end of the snap-fit ​​portion 111 away from the middle portion 110. The two sides of the V-shaped water tank 108 are provided with curved portions 113, which bend towards the middle position. The middle portion 110 extends to both sides, causing the snap-fit ​​portion 111 to snap below the curved portion 113. When the symmetrical pressing portion 112 is pressed towards the middle position, the middle portion 110 bends, and the snap-fit ​​portion 111 loses the restriction of the curved portion 113, allowing it to be removed from the V-shaped water tank 108. The snap-fit ​​part 111 is located below the bent part 113, and the folded edge 116 limits the snap-fit ​​part 111. The interceptor 109 is equipped with a baffle 114, which intercepts feathers and other impurities, reducing the likelihood of feathers entering the outlet pipe 103. The outlet pipe 103 is a wastewater recovery pipe used to recover impurities flowing out of the V-shaped water tank 108. It should be noted that the outlet pipe 103 can also be used for feather recovery, as a subsequent recovery pool is equipped with an interceptor device. However, a large amount of feathers entering the outlet pipe 103 would affect drainage efficiency, hence the interceptor 109.

[0031] Feathers falling into the V-shaped water tank 108 are carried by the flowing water within the tank. When they reach one end of the tank, they are intercepted by the baffle 114. When the V-shaped water tank 108 is being cleaned, the baffle 109 can be removed to remove the intercepted feathers and other debris. In another embodiment, the efficiency of feather cleaning can be improved by rinsing the V-shaped water tank 108 with water; that is, the V-shaped water tank 108 is rinsed from one end, the water flow carries the feathers, and the baffle 114 intercepts them.

[0032] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 In a first embodiment of the baffle 114, to improve interception efficiency, the baffle 114 is provided with a notch 115. Multiple notches 115 can be provided to improve interception efficiency. Multiple baffles 114 can be provided to increase the number and efficiency of intercepted feathers. The notch 115 is oriented towards the end away from the water tank connector 106.

[0033] refer to Figure 5 To reduce production costs, the baffle 114 is made by bending the structure on the interceptor 109. Preferably, multiple sets of baffles 114 are staggered to increase the length of the baffle 114.

[0034] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6In a second embodiment of the baffle 114, the baffle 114 is provided with staggered folded edges 116. The folded edges 116 are set separately to increase the interception area. The folded edges 116 are set towards the end away from the water tank connector 106, because the water flow will flow in the V-shaped water tank 108 towards the water tank connector 106, and thus enter the water outlet pipe 103.

[0035] refer to Figure 6 To facilitate disassembly and cleaning, the bottom of the baffle 114 is provided with a first mounting groove 117 on the side away from the folded edge 116, and the middle part 110 is provided with a second mounting groove 118 on the side away from the water tank connector 106. The baffle 114 is detachably mounted on the middle part 110. At this time, the height of the baffle 114 can be set relatively high, preferably level with the curved part 113. The baffle 114 is mounted on the second mounting groove 118 through the first mounting groove 117. Because it is detachable, it can be set into multiple sets, thereby improving the interception efficiency and enabling the interception of smaller feathers.

[0036] refer to Figure 4 To facilitate removal and cleaning, the pressing part 112 extends into a V-shaped water groove 108. With fingers positioned above the curved part 113, the interceptor 109 can be removed from the V-shaped water groove 108 by squeezing the pressing part 112 toward the center.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inlet pipe 102 supplies water to the water supply rack 104. Poultry drink water by pecking at the cone valve drinkers 105 on the water supply rack 104. The V-shaped water trough 108 is used to catch the falling water. Feathers falling into the V-shaped water trough 108 will move towards the end closer to the water trough connector 106 with the flowing water and be intercepted by the interceptor 109. This makes it easier to remove solid impurities such as feathers when cleaning the V-shaped water trough 108, and can prevent the water outlet pipe 103 from getting blocked and facilitate cleaning.

[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
