Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water device technology, and in particular to an automatic drinking water device for sheep farming. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional sheep farming often uses open troughs with manual watering. In summer, when the outside temperature reaches 35℃-38℃, the water in the troughs is heated for a long time. In winter, when the temperature drops to below zero, the water in the troughs freezes easily, making it impossible for the sheep to drink directly.
[0003] While existing technologies include heated drinking water systems, most employ external heating or integrated water tank heating, resulting in low thermal efficiency and inconvenient maintenance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic drinking water device for sheep farming that features automatic temperature control, water level regulation, adjustable height, and high energy efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic drinking water device for sheep that is simple in structure, reliable in operation, energy-saving and efficient. It can heat the drinking water to a suitable temperature for sheep to drink directly in winter and avoid excessively high drinking water temperature in summer, thereby improving the health of the sheep flock and breeding efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automatic drinking water device for sheep farming includes an underground water storage tank and a drinking trough. One end of the drinking trough is screwed with a plug. The drinking trough has a hollow design. An adjustable I-beam support frame is fixed at the bottom of the drinking trough. Heat-conducting fins are evenly distributed on both outer walls of the underground water storage tank, and the other end of the heat-conducting fins is embedded in the underground water storage tank. A sealing cover is provided on the top of the underground water storage tank, and a delivery pipe, a bundled power cable, and a water inlet pipe are inserted into the sealing cover. The delivery pipe is movably connected to one outer wall of the drinking trough. In the above scheme, after the underground water tank is filled with water in winter, the heat-conducting fins use the constant temperature characteristics of the soil to assist in heat exchange and preheat the cold water in the underground water tank, thereby raising the temperature inside the underground water tank and reducing heating energy consumption when the electric heater is started. In summer, it dissipates heat from the high-temperature water entering the tank.
[0006] The underground water storage tank is equipped with a water pump, an electric heater and a temperature sensor in sequence, and the water pump outlet is connected to the delivery pipe. One end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the tap water inlet pipe, and a float valve is connected to the end of the water inlet pipe.
[0007] In the above scheme, the float valve is linked to the water inlet pipe to realize automatic water level replenishment of the underground water storage tank, reducing manual intervention.
[0008] Preferably, the adjustable I-beam support frame includes a load-bearing plate, a square tube welded to the load-bearing plate, a support rod slidably installed on the inner wall of the square tube, and a fixing plate welded to the top of the support rod, the fixing plate being connected to the bottom of the drinking trough.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the square tube is provided with equally spaced slots, and a spring plunger is embedded in the lower outer wall of the support rod, and the spring plunger and the inner wall of the slot form a snap-fit engagement.
[0010] In the above scheme, the I-beam support frame can quickly adjust the height of the water trough by using a spring plunger and a slot to accommodate sheep of different sizes.
[0011] Preferably, the drinking trough is composed of a stainless steel outer shell, an insulated inner shell, and a support plate. The stainless steel outer shell and the insulated inner shell are interlocked to form an insulation cavity. The support plate is disposed in the insulation cavity, and both sides of the support plate are connected to the stainless steel outer shell and the insulated inner shell, respectively.
[0012] In the above solution, the stainless steel shell and the elastic heat-insulating support plate design take into account both corrosion resistance and structural stability, extending service life. The double-layer heat-insulating water tank reduces the rate of heat loss through its internal heat insulation cavity, preventing the water temperature in the water tank from dropping rapidly in winter.
[0013] Preferably, the support plate is made of elastic heat-insulating material, and the support plate is provided with through holes that are evenly distributed.
[0014] Preferably, the water pump, electric heater, and temperature sensor are electrically connected to the bundled power line, and the water pump is connected to a switch, the electric heater is connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the electric heater.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After the underground water storage tank is filled with water in winter, the heat-conducting fins use the constant temperature characteristics of the soil to assist in heat exchange and preheat the cold water in the underground water storage tank. This first raises the temperature inside the underground water storage tank and reduces heating energy consumption when the electric heater is started. In summer, it dissipates heat from the high-temperature water entering the tank. The I-beam support frame, through the cooperation of spring plungers and slots, allows for quick adjustment of the water trough height, adapting to flocks of sheep of different sizes; The stainless steel shell and flexible heat-insulating support plate design take into account both corrosion resistance and structural stability, extending service life. The double-layered heat-insulating water tank reduces the rate of heat loss through its internal heat insulation cavity, preventing the water temperature in the water tank from dropping rapidly in winter.

[0022] The adjustable I-beam support frame 3 includes a load-bearing plate 17, a square tube 18 welded to the load-bearing plate 17, a support rod 19 slidably installed on the inner wall of the square tube 18, and a fixing plate 20 welded to the top of the support rod 19, the fixing plate 20 being connected to the bottom of the drinking trough 2.
[0023] The square tube 18 has equally spaced slots on its outer wall, and a spring plunger is embedded in the lower outer wall of the support rod 19, and the spring plunger and the inner wall of the slot form a snap-fit engagement.
[0024] The I-beam support frame 3, through the cooperation of spring plunger and slot, can quickly adjust the height of the water trough 2 to suit sheep of different sizes.
[0025] The drinking trough 2 is composed of a stainless steel outer shell 13, an insulated inner shell 14 and a support plate 15. The stainless steel outer shell 13 and the insulated inner shell 14 are interlocked to form an insulation cavity. The support plate 15 is disposed in the insulation cavity, and the two sides of the support plate 15 are respectively connected to the stainless steel outer shell 13 and the insulated inner shell 14.

[0034] Operating procedures: Water temperature balance: After water is introduced into the underground water storage tank 1, the water will be stored in the underground water storage tank 1 for 10-12 hours until it is needed for the sheep to drink. First, the water in the underground water storage tank 1 undergoes slow heat exchange with the soil through the heat-conducting fins 4. The heat exchange lasts for 10-12 hours. In summer, the soil cools down the water in the underground water storage tank 1, and in winter, the soil warms up the water in the underground water storage tank 1. When drinking water is needed in winter, the temperature sensor 8 detects the water temperature. When it is lower than the set value, the electric heater 7 is activated, and the heat is evenly diffused through the heat-conducting fins 4.
