Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a drinking trough. Background Technology
[0002] Cattle water troughs are common facilities in animal husbandry, used to provide drinking water for cattle. During cattle farming, diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, gastroenteritis, and indigestion can easily occur. To prevent the spread of disease within the herd and to provide targeted drug treatment, farmers usually keep sick cattle together for individual care. Since cattle drink a large amount of water daily, farmers often mix medication tablets into the drinking water for sick cattle. However, this method of mixing medication with water often results in uneven mixing, causing drug particles to gradually settle and reducing the drug concentration in the water, thus weakening the treatment effect.
[0003] Among existing patents, application number 202410500723.1, entitled "A Cattle Water Trough," discloses a water trough comprising a support plate fixedly connected to its inner wall. First electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top side wall of the support plate, and the output ends of multiple first electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the same filter plate. The side walls of the filter plate all abut against the inner wall of the water trough. This application aims to mix medication evenly with drinking water when administering medication to sick cattle, facilitating the intake of medication within the water trough and improving the treatment effect. It also includes two mixing cylinders. However, the mixing device in this application only uses a horizontal stirring rod, resulting in uneven mixing from top to bottom and low mixing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a drinking trough, which aims to address the problem of uneven mixing of pills.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A drinking trough includes a trough for storing cattle drinking water and a stirring device for mixing tablets with the cattle drinking water evenly. The stirring device is equipped with a water outlet for flowing the mixed water containing the mixed tablets into the trough.
[0007] Furthermore, the stirring device includes a stirring tank, a stirring rod installed inside the stirring tank, and a geared motor for driving the stirring rod to rotate; the stirring rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the geared motor, and the housing of the geared motor is fixedly connected to the lid of the stirring tank.
[0008] Furthermore, the mixing tank is also equipped with an auxiliary mixing device for accelerating the uniform mixing of the tablets and the cow's drinking water.
[0009] Furthermore, the auxiliary mixing device includes a backflush cylinder installed at the bottom of the mixing tank, and the backflush cylinder is provided with an air inlet pipe; the air inlet pipe is provided with a one-way valve that only allows pressurized gas to enter the backflush cylinder.
[0010] Furthermore, the top surface of the backflush tube is provided with air outlets, and the number of air outlets is multiple.
[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the air outlet is 0.1-0.2 mm, and the distance between adjacent air outlets is 2-3 mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the bucket lid is equipped with an automatic exhaust valve.
[0013] Furthermore, the barrel lid is provided with a dosing port, and the mixing barrel is provided with a water inlet valve near the top.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, the auxiliary mixing device can blow up the pills at the bottom, so that the medicine and water are evenly mixed, ensuring that the concentration of the medicine water drunk by the sick cattle is consistent, which is conducive to the sick cattle recovering their health as soon as possible.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, the automatic exhaust valve can discharge excess gas from the mixing tank;
[0017] 3. By setting multiple air vents with a diameter of 0.1-0.2mm, it can avoid the problem of low air pressure caused by large holes, which would prevent the tablet from being blown up.
[0018] 4. By using a one-way valve, the medicine is prevented from flowing back into the normal drinking water, thus avoiding contamination of the cattle's drinking water. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a drinking trough includes a tank 1 for storing cattle drinking water and a stirring device 2 for mixing the tablets with the cattle drinking water evenly. The stirring device 2 is provided with a water outlet 32 for flowing the mixed water of the mixed tablets into the tank 1.
[0028] The stirring device 2 includes a stirring tank 3, a stirring rod 61 installed inside the stirring tank 3, and a geared motor 6 for driving the stirring rod 61 to rotate. The stirring rod 61 is fixedly connected to the output end of the geared motor 6, and the housing of the geared motor 6 is fixedly connected to the tank cover 4 of the stirring tank 3. The stirring rod 61 includes a central rod and fins. The central rod is fixed to the output shaft of the geared motor 6 via a coupling. One end of the fins is welded to the central rod, and the other end is open for stirring. The central rod is rotatably connected to the tank cover 4, and a sealing ring is provided between the central rod and the tank cover to prevent water and air leakage.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the mixing tank 3 is equipped with a water inlet valve 31 on the side wall near the tank cover 4, and a water outlet 32 is located at the lower part of the mixing tank 3 near the upper surface of the backflushing cylinder 64. This ensures that as much of the medicine as possible flows into the tank 1, avoiding waste.
[0030] The lid 4 is equipped with an automatic vent valve 5. The automatic vent valve 5 can release excess gas from the mixing tank 3, preventing excessive gas pressure and thus avoiding mixing difficulties.
[0031] The barrel lid 4 is provided with a medicine inlet 7, and the medicine inlet 7 is provided with a sealing cap. After the medicine tablets are added, the sealing cap is closed to prevent water leakage.
[0032] Working process and principle: First, open the water inlet valve 31 and fill the mixing tank 3 with water to the appropriate level. Then, add the tablets into the tank through the medicine inlet 7. Turn on the reduction motor 6, and the stirring fins will rotate to crush the tablets and mix them thoroughly with the water.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown,
[0035] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the mixing tank 3 is also equipped with an auxiliary mixing device 62 for accelerating the uniform mixing of the tablets and the cow's drinking water.
[0036] The auxiliary mixing device 62 includes a backflush cylinder 64 installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 3, and an air inlet pipe 63 is provided on the backflush cylinder 64. The air inlet pipe 63 is equipped with a one-way valve that only allows pressurized gas to enter the backflush cylinder 64. The one-way valve is provided to prevent the liquid medicine in the mixing tank 3 from flowing back into the gas channel, causing pollution and waste. The gas source is pressurized gas, such as a gas cylinder or an air compressor.
[0037] The top surface of the backflush tube 64 is provided with an air outlet 65, and there are multiple air outlets 65.
[0038] After adding the tablets or liquid medicine, the stirring rod rotates to stir, and at the same time, the one-way valve on the air inlet pipe 63 is opened. Pressurized gas blows the tablets and water at the bottom through the air outlet 65, so that the liquid medicine in the stirring tank 3 is evenly distributed from top to bottom.
[0039] The pressurized gas through the air inlet pipe 63 blows up the tablets at the bottom, which are then crushed by the stirring fins, ensuring that the concentration of the medicine is consistent throughout, which is beneficial for the treatment of dairy cow diseases.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] like Figure 4 As shown,
[0042] The diameter of the air outlet 65 is 0.1-0.2 mm, and the distance between adjacent air outlets 65 is 2-3 mm.
[0043] If the diameter of the vent 65 is too large, the required air pressure and flow rate will be large, resulting in a waste of pressurized air. Therefore, the diameter of the vent 65 should not be too large, and 0.1 mm is generally sufficient. In order to avoid the gap between the vents 65 being too large, which would prevent the tablet from being blown up, the gap between the vents 65 should not be too large. After testing, a value of 2.5 mm was found to be appropriate.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
