Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding equipment, specifically relating to a self-cleaning livestock drinking trough. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of animal husbandry, water troughs are key equipment to ensure the healthy growth of livestock. The cleanliness of the water directly affects the growth status of livestock and the breeding efficiency. When livestock drink water, impurities such as feed residue, hair and saliva are easily deposited on the bottom and inner wall of the water trough, forming stubborn dirt. If not cleaned in time, bacteria and algae will grow, leading to water quality deterioration and increasing the risk of livestock diseases.

[0003] Currently, most farms still rely on manual cleaning of drinking troughs. This requires not only regularly draining the water from the troughs but also manually wiping the inner walls and sweeping the bottom, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. While some traditional automatic cleaning equipment can achieve preliminary scraping, it does not clean thoroughly. Furthermore, it requires multiple power units to drive the cleaning and sewage discharge components separately, resulting in complex equipment structures, high energy consumption, and the coordinated control of multiple power sources is prone to failure, increasing equipment maintenance costs.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a self-cleaning livestock water trough, comprising:

[0031] The main structure 100 includes a drinking trough 101, several support frames 102 disposed at the bottom of the drinking trough 101, a water inlet 103 disposed at one end of the drinking trough 101, and a water outlet 104 disposed at one end of the drinking trough 101.

[0032] The cleaning mechanism 200 includes a scraper assembly 201 disposed on one side of the top of the water tank 101, a swing cleaning assembly 202 disposed on the inner side of the top of the water tank 101, and a wastewater discharge assembly 203 disposed on the water outlet 104.

[0033] It should be noted that the drinking trough 101 is used to hold drinking water for livestock. The water inlet 103 is located at one end of the drinking trough 101 and is equipped with a valve for injecting water into the drinking trough. The water outlet 104 has two openings, one on the side and one at the bottom, located on the same side as the water inlet 103, for discharging sewage and impurities from the drinking trough. The scraper assembly 201 is used to scrape and clean the stains on the inner surface of the drinking trough 101. The swing cleaning assembly 202 is used to scrape and clean the deposited stains at the bottom of the drinking trough 101. The sewage discharge assembly 203 is used to control the opening and closing of the sewage outlet 104.

[0034] Specifically, the scraper assembly 201 includes a servo motor 201a disposed at the end of the drinking trough 101, a threaded rod 201b disposed at the output end of the servo motor 201a, a movable scraper 201c sleeved on one side of the threaded rod 201b, and a limiting guide rod 201d disposed on the other side of the movable scraper 201c.

[0035] Furthermore, one side of the movable scraper 201c is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 201b, and the other side is in sliding contact with the limiting guide rod 201d.

[0036] It should be noted that the threaded rod 201b and the limiting guide rod 201d are symmetrically installed in the inner cavities on both sides of the drinking tank 101 and extend along the length of the drinking tank 101. The servo motor 201a drives the threaded rod 201b to rotate, which in turn drives the moving scraper 201c to move axially along the limiting guide rod 201d. The moving scraper 201c moves close to the inner wall of the drinking tank 101 and scrapes off the dirt on the surface. During this process, the limiting guide rod 201d prevents the moving scraper 201c from deflecting during its movement.

[0037] Furthermore, the oscillating cleaning assembly 202 includes a rotating rod 202a disposed on one side of the top of the water tank 101, a drive pulley 202b rotatably disposed on one end of the movable scraper 201c, a belt 202c with one end sleeved on the surface of the drive pulley 202b, and a driven pulley 202d disposed on the other end of the belt 202c.

[0038] Preferably, the drive pulley 202b is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 202a, and its inner surface is provided with a protrusion that can slide along the groove on the surface of the rotating rod 202a.

[0039] It should be noted that both the driving pulley 202b and the driven pulley 202d are rotatably connected to the movable scraper 201c. When the movable scraper 201c moves, the protrusion on the inner surface of the driving pulley 202b slides along the groove on the surface of the rotating rod 202a. The driving pulley 202b is driven by the protrusion on its inner surface and rotates around the rotating rod 202a. When the driving pulley 202b rotates, it drives the driven pulley 202d to rotate through the belt 202c.

[0040] The oscillating cleaning assembly 202 also includes an oscillating scraper 202e with one end rotatably connected to the movable scraper 201c, a limiting groove 202f opened on the oscillating scraper 202e, and a drive rod 202g with one end coaxially fixedly connected to the driven pulley 202d. The other end of the drive rod 202g slides in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 202f.

[0041] It should be noted that when the driven pulley 202d rotates, it drives the drive rod 202g to rotate around one end, and the other end drives the swing scraper 202e to swing back and forth around the moving scraper 201c through the limiting groove 202f, so as to scrape away the dirt at the bottom of the drinking tank 101 and make the cleaning more thorough.

[0042] Furthermore, the sewage discharge assembly 203 includes a mounting bracket 203a disposed on the end face of the movable scraper 201c, a telescopic rod 203b disposed on the end face of the mounting bracket 203a, guide rods 203c symmetrically disposed on both sides of the outlet 104, and a sewage discharge block 203d slidably sleeved on the surface of the two guide rods 203c.

[0043] Preferably, the drain block 203d is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 203b, and a sealing gasket is provided between the drain block 203d and the drinking trough 101 to achieve a tight seal with the water outlet 104.

[0044] It should be noted that the mounting bracket 203a is used to install the telescopic rod 203b. The scraping range of the swing scraper 202e is only between the mounting brackets 203a. The telescopic rod 203b is a four-section telescopic design. When the moving scraper 201c drives the mounting bracket 203a to move, it retracts the telescopic rod 203b. At this time, the water pressure inside the drinking trough 101 pushes open the drain block 203d to drain water and sewage. If the drain block 203d is stuck, when the telescopic rod 203b retracts from four sections to one section, the last section of the rod can push the drain block 203d open so that it slides along the guide rod 203c. When the moving scraper 201c moves in the opposite direction, it drives the telescopic rod 203b to extend and pulls the drain block 203d back. The drain block 203d is tightly attached to the drinking trough 101 and the drinking trough 101 is sealed by the sealing gasket.

[0045] In use, the valve of the water inlet 103 is opened to inject an appropriate amount of drinking water into the drinking trough 101 for livestock to drink. When cleaning is required, the servo motor 201a is started. The servo motor 201a drives the threaded rod 201b to rotate, which drives the moving scraper 201c to move axially along the limiting guide rod 201d, closely adhering to the inner wall of the drinking trough 101 and scraping away surface dirt. At the same time, the drive pulley 202b moves with the moving scraper 201c. The protrusions on its inner surface slide along the groove of the rotating rod 202a and drive the drive pulley 202b to rotate. When the drive pulley 202b rotates, it drives the driven pulley 202d to rotate through the belt 202c, causing the drive rotating rod 202g to rotate and slide in the limiting groove 202f, thereby driving the swing scraper 202e to reciprocate. The oscillating motion scrapes the sediment at the bottom of the water trough 101 horizontally. When the moving scraper 201c drives the mounting bracket 203a to move, the four-section telescopic rod 203b retracts, causing the drain block 203d to lose support and be pushed open under water pressure. If the drain block 203d is stuck, the telescopic rod 203b can push it open when it retracts to one section, allowing sewage and impurities to be discharged from the outlet 104. After cleaning, the moving scraper 201c moves in the opposite direction, causing the telescopic rod 203b to extend. The telescopic rod 203b pulls the drain block 203d back along the guide rod 203c. At this time, the drain block 203d is tightly fitted to the water trough 101 through the sealing gasket, thus sealing the water trough 101. Water can then be injected again through the water inlet 103 for livestock use.

[0046] In summary, the main structure 100 provides a drinking water container for livestock via the water trough 101, and works in conjunction with the support frame 102 to achieve stable support. The scraper assembly 201 drives the threaded rod 201b via the servo motor 201a, which in turn drives the moving scraper 201c to move axially along the limiting guide rod 201d, thoroughly scraping away dirt from the inner wall of the trough. In the oscillating cleaning assembly 202, the active pulley 202b converts the sliding of the inner surface protrusion along the groove of the rotating rod 202a into its own rotation, driving the rotating rod 202g within the limiting groove 202f. The sliding motion forces the swinging scraper 202e to swing back and forth, finely scraping away the dirt deposited at the bottom of the tank. The sewage discharge component 203 utilizes the contraction mechanism of the four-section telescopic rod 203b to push open the sewage discharge block 203d under water pressure or mechanical thrust, allowing the dirt to be automatically discharged from the outlet 104. When moving in the reverse direction, the telescopic rod 203b returns to its original position and stretches, causing the sewage discharge block 203d with a sealing gasket to seal the outlet along the guide rod 203c, ensuring the sealing of the drinking tank 101 and realizing the automatic cleaning and sewage discharge of the device.
