Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drinking water facilities for cattle breeding, specifically a new type of drinking water device for cattle breeding. Background Technology

[0002] In modern cattle farming, drinking water systems are crucial infrastructure for ensuring the healthy growth of cattle and improving production performance; their performance directly impacts farming efficiency and the level of environmental management. Currently, most commercially available cattle drinking water systems are simple trough-type structures. Taking a novel cattle drinking water system disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN220476596U as an example, this system includes a drinking tank with a fixed rod inside, a cleaning mechanism on the outer surface, and a primary water supply pipe. A storage tank is connected to the bottom of the drinking tank, containing a circular inclined trough, a weed trough, and a secondary water supply pipe and a filtration mechanism. The bottom of the storage tank is connected to a base via a support rod. This novel cattle drinking water system, through its filtration mechanism, ensures sufficient water reserves for the cattle, and its reflux design effectively solves the problems of water waste and water quality deterioration, thereby reducing costs and improving farming efficiency. However, this device has certain limitations. It cannot automatically add water; users need electricity to do so. If the electrical equipment malfunctions, there is a risk of electric shock, which not only affects normal use but also threatens the user's safety. In actual aquaculture scenarios, this type of drinking water device, which relies on electricity and lacks an automatic water-adding mechanism, undoubtedly increases the complexity of operations and safety hazards during the aquaculture process. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel drinking water device for cattle, which is convenient for users and solves the problem of inconvenient use of drinking water devices for cattle.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel drinking water device for cattle breeding, comprising: a base, a drinking device, a buoyancy-blocking water structure, and water-blocking structures on both sides; The drinking device is fixedly installed on the front of the base, so that the base provides stepped support for the drinking device. The buoyancy-blocking structure is set on both sides inside the drinking device. The buoyancy inside the drinking device is used to block the drinking device and prevent water from leaking from the top of the drinking device to the ground. The two-sided blocking structures are installed on both sides of the drinking device to seal both sides of the drinking device.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model utilizes a buoyancy-based water-blocking structure with a pipe, a pipe-blocking column, and a buoyancy plate. When the water level in the cattle drinking trough drops, the buoyancy plate lowers with the water level, causing the pipe-blocking column to move downwards via a vertical pole. Water from the storage box then automatically flows into the cattle drinking trough through the pipe. When the water level rises to a set height, the buoyancy plate, driven by buoyancy, moves the pipe-blocking column upwards to seal the pipe. This allows for automatic water filling without electricity, avoiding the risk of electric leakage that may occur with electric drives, while also reducing the complexity of livestock farming operations.

[0006] 2. This utility model uses the base, support plate, upright plate, mating groove and support legs in the base to cooperate with each other to avoid the base being corroded by the ground being wet; the mating groove provides precise installation positioning for the drinking water device, and the support plate enhances the load-bearing capacity of the upright plate. Compared with the traditional single support rod structure, it greatly improves the support strength and corrosion resistance of the base and extends the overall service life of the device.

[0007] 3. This utility model includes a drinking device comprising a drinking trough for adult cattle and a drinking trough for calves. The calves' drinking trough is fixed to the adult cattle's drinking trough via an inner connection. Combined with the support plate in the base supporting the adult cattle's drinking trough, a stepped drinking space is formed, which can meet the drinking height and space requirements of adult cattle and calves respectively. This solves the defect that the simple trough structure cannot adapt to the drinking of cattle of different ages, and improves the convenience of drinking for cattle. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0011] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a novel drinking water device for cattle breeding, comprising: a base 1, a drinking device 2, a buoyancy-blocking water structure 3, and two-sided water-blocking structures 4; The drinking device 2 is fixedly installed on the front of the base 1, so that the base 1 provides stepped support for the drinking device 2. The buoyancy-blocking structure 3 is set on both sides inside the drinking device 2. The buoyancy inside the drinking device 2 is used to block the drinking device 2, preventing water from leaking from the top of the drinking device 2 to the ground. The two-sided blocking structures 4 are installed on both sides of the drinking device 2, which can seal the two sides of the drinking device 2.

[0012] refer to Figure 5 The base 1 includes a base 101, with support plates 102 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base 101, and a vertical plate 103 fixedly connected to the back of the support plate 102. A mating groove 104 is provided on the front of the vertical plate 103, and support legs 105 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base 101.

[0013] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the base 101, support plate 102, upright plate 103, mating groove 104 and support leg 105 in the base 1 cooperate with each other to prevent the base 101 from being corroded by the ground moisture; the mating groove 104 provides precise installation positioning for the drinking water device 2, and the support plate 102 enhances the load-bearing capacity of the upright plate 103. Compared with the traditional single support rod structure, the support strength and corrosion resistance of the base 1 are greatly improved, and the overall service life of the device is extended.

[0014] refer to Figure 2The drinking device 2 includes a water storage box 21, which is fixedly connected to the top of the front of the upright plate 103. A large cattle drinking trough 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage box 21. The back of the large cattle drinking trough 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the matching groove 104. The bottom of the large cattle drinking trough 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 102. Small cattle drinking troughs 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base 101. The inner side of the small cattle drinking trough 23 is fixedly connected to the large cattle drinking trough 22.

[0015] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drinking device 2 includes a large cattle drinking trough 22 and a calf drinking trough 23. The calf drinking trough 23 is fixed to the large cattle drinking trough 22 through an inner connection. Combined with the support plate 102 in the base 1 supporting the large cattle drinking trough 22, a stepped drinking space is formed, which can meet the drinking height and space requirements of large cattle and calves respectively. This solves the defect that the simple trough structure cannot adapt to the drinking of cattle of different ages and improves the drinking convenience of cattle.

[0016] refer to Figure 2 The inner side of the calf water trough 23 is provided with a connecting pipe 5. The inner side of the connecting pipe 5 passes through the support plate 102 and extends into the interior of the support plate 102, where a three-way valve 6 is connected. The front of the three-way valve 6 is connected to a drain pipe 7.

[0017] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a connecting pipe 5, a three-way valve 6 and a drain pipe 7, the discharge speed and discharge volume of the water in the drinking device 2 can be adjusted, which facilitates timely replacement of aging water and solves the problem that existing devices may deteriorate due to untimely water replacement, thus further ensuring the drinking water health of cattle.

[0018] refer to Figure 3 The buoyancy-blocking structure 3 includes a pipe 31, which connects to both sides of the bottom of the water storage box 21. The bottom of the pipe 31 connects to both sides of the top of the large cattle drinking trough 22. A top weight plate 32 is provided at the top of the pipe 31. A vertical rod 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top weight plate 32. The bottom of the vertical rod 33 passes through the pipe 31 and extends into the interior of the large cattle drinking trough 22, where a pipe blocking column 34 is fixedly connected. A buoyancy plate 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pipe blocking column 34. Limiting slide rods 36 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the buoyancy plate 35. The bottom of the limiting slide rods 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the large cattle drinking trough 22. The top of the limiting slide rods 36 passes through the buoyancy plate 35 and extends to the top of the buoyancy plate 35, where it is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the large cattle drinking trough 22.

[0019] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a buoyancy-blocking water structure 3, automatic water addition and stopping can be achieved without electricity, avoiding the risk of leakage from electric power, while simplifying the operation process for aquaculture personnel and reducing aquaculture management costs.

[0020] refer to Figure 4 The water-blocking structure 4 on both sides includes a connecting block 41, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the large calf drinking trough 22. A sealing plate 42 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 41 via a rotating shaft. A buoyancy push plate 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plate 42. A float ball 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buoyancy push plate 43 extending into the interior of the calf drinking trough 23.

[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up water-blocking structures 4 on both sides, when the water level in the calf drinking trough 23 changes, the float 44 drives the buoyancy push plate 43 to adjust the angle of the sealing plate 42. In conjunction with the contact between the water pipe 11 and the top of the sealing plate 42, dynamic sealing of both sides of the calf drinking trough 22 is achieved, preventing water from leaking from the top 2 sides of the drinking device to the ground, and improving the management level of the breeding environment.

[0022] refer to Figure 2 The interior of the calf water trough 23 is equipped with a baffle 8, the front and back of which are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the inner wall of the calf water trough 23, respectively.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the baffle 8, the drinking space can be separated to prevent the calf from colliding with the float 44 when drinking, thus affecting the normal operation of the float 44.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 Both sides of the water storage box 21 are connected to connecting pipes 9, and valves 10 are connected to the outside of the connecting pipes 9.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a connecting pipe 9 and a valve 10, the water inlet speed and water volume of the water storage box 21 can be controlled by the valve 10, which can quickly replenish water to the water storage box 21, and at the same time, the valve 10 can be closed to cut off the water source when the device is maintained.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 Both sides of the large cattle drinking trough 22 are connected to water pipes 11, and the end of the water pipe 11 away from the large cattle drinking trough 22 is inserted into the interior of the sealing plate 42.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a water pipe 11, some of the water in the large cattle drinking trough 22 flows into the calf drinking trough 23, so as to achieve a reasonable distribution of water between the two drinking troughs and avoid the water level in the large cattle drinking trough 22 being too high while the calf drinking trough 23 is short of water.

[0028] The overall device of this utility model uses the base 1 as the core support structure. The support legs 105 can lift the base 101 off the ground, effectively preventing corrosion damage to the base 101 caused by the damp environment. At the same time, the support plate 102, the upright plate 103, and the mating groove 104 together form a stepped support frame, providing a stable installation and positioning foundation for the drinking device 2. The water storage box 21 of the drinking device 2 is fixed to the top front of the upright plate 103. The back of the large calf drinking trough 22 connected to its bottom is fixedly connected to the mating groove 104, and the bottom is firmly attached to the support plate 102. The inner sides of the small calf drinking troughs 23 on both sides of the top of the base 101 are connected and fixed to the large calf drinking trough 22, forming a stepped support frame adapted to large and small calves respectively. The tiered drinking space, with connecting pipes 9 and valves 10 on both sides of the water storage box 21 working together, allows for precise control of the water inlet speed and volume by adjusting valves 10. This ensures timely replenishment of water to the water storage box 21 and allows for quick shut-off of the water supply during device maintenance. When a calf drinks from the calf water trough 23, causing the water level to drop, the floats 44 in the water-blocking structures 4 on both sides will decrease synchronously with the water level. The floats 44 drive the buoyancy push plate 43 and the sealing plate 42 to rotate downwards around the connecting block 41, causing the sealing plate 42 to disengage from the water transmission pipe 11. At this time, water from the upper calf water trough 22 will flow into the calf water trough 23 through the water transmission pipe 11, replenishing the water volume of the calf water trough 23 and raising the water level. As the water level rises, the float 44 is pushed upwards, causing the buoyancy push plate 43 and the sealing plate 42 to rotate upwards around the connecting block 41, thus resealing the water pipe 11. When the calf drinks from the calf water trough 22 or when water needs to be added to the calf water trough 23, causing the water level in the calf water trough 22 to drop, the weight of the top weight plate 32 in the buoyancy blocking structure 3 will cause the buoyancy plate 35 to descend with the water level. Since the limiting slide rods 36 at the four corners of the bottom of the buoyancy plate 35 act as vertical guides, the buoyancy plate 35 will descend smoothly and vertically along the limiting slide rods 36. At the same time, the top upright 33 will drive the pipe blocking column 34 to move downwards, and the water in the water storage box 21 will then flow through the pipe 3. 1. Water flows into the large cattle drinking trough 22 for automatic water replenishment. As the water level in the large cattle drinking trough 22 rises, the buoyancy of the water pushes the buoyancy plate 35 upward. The buoyancy plate 35 drives the pipe blocking column 34 upward, causing the pipe blocking column 34 to block the pipe 31 and stop water replenishment. The entire water replenishment process can be completed automatically without the need for electricity. In addition, the connecting pipe 5 inside the calf drinking trough 23 passes through the support plate 102 and connects to the three-way valve 6. The drain pipe 7 connected to the three-way valve 6 can flexibly adjust the water discharge speed and discharge volume, which is convenient for regularly replacing the aging water in the trough, ensuring the drinking health of the cattle. Moreover, the entire device does not rely on electricity for operation, which reduces the risk of electric leakage and simplifies the daily operation process of breeding.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
