Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but this does not constitute any limitation on the present invention. Any limited modifications made by any person within the scope of the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the claims of the present invention. See Figure 1 This utility model discloses an automatic water feeding device for chicks. The device includes a water trough 6, a water supply tank 4, a first water supply pipe 1, and a second water supply pipe 2. The first water supply pipe 1 is connected to an external water source. The water trough 6 is located on one side of the chicken cage 3. The water supply tank 4 is located on the side of the water trough 6 away from the chicken cage 3. The water supply tank 4 and the water trough 6 are connected. The first water supply pipe 1 is connected to multiple detachable second water supply pipes 2. The ends of the second water supply pipes 2 are inserted into the water supply tank 4. The second water supply pipes 2 are equipped with detachable water replenishment modules. The water trough 6 is equipped with a dustproof structure.

[0016] The water supply module includes a mesh plate 7, a telescopic rod 9, a fixing block 8, a cylinder 10, and a buoyancy plate 11. The mesh plate 7 is fixedly installed inside the second water supply pipe 2. The fixing block 8 is fixedly installed below the mesh plate 7. The top of the telescopic rod 9 is threadedly connected to the fixing block 8. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 9 faces the bottom of the second water supply pipe 2. A threaded pipe 17 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 9. A screw 16 is fixedly connected above the buoyancy plate 11 and is threadedly connected to the threaded pipe 17. A cylinder 10 is also fitted over the telescopic rod 9 and threadedly installed on the fixing block 8. The buoyancy plate 11 is located in the water supply tank 4. The cylinder 10 is designed to prevent water from constantly scouring the telescopic rod 9 and to extend its service life.

[0017] The pressure of the water in the first water supply pipe 1 is less than or equal to the maximum buoyancy force exerted by the water in the water supply tank 4 on the buoyancy plate 11, so that the buoyancy force of the buoyancy plate 11 can press the bottom of the second water supply pipe 2 tightly.

[0018] The second water supply pipe 2 includes a first sub-pipe section 20 and a second sub-pipe section 21. The first sub-pipe section 20 and the second sub-pipe section 21 are threaded together. The end of the first sub-pipe section 20 is fixedly connected to the first water supply pipe 1, and the end of the second sub-pipe section 21 is inserted into the water supply tank 4. The bottom of the fixing block 8 is located at the connection between the first sub-pipe section 20 and the second sub-pipe section 21. The threaded connection between the first sub-pipe section 20 and the second sub-pipe section 21 facilitates the disassembly of the first sub-pipe section 20 and the second sub-pipe section 21, thereby enabling the disassembly or installation of the components of the telescopic rod 9.

[0019] A mounting plate 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the chicken cage 3. The water supply tank 4 and the water trough 6 are both fixedly installed above the mounting plate 18. The water supply tank 4 is connected to the water trough 6 through a connecting pipe 5. The water supply tank 4, the connecting pipe 5, and the water trough 6 form a communicating vessel. When the drinking water level in the water trough 6 drops, the drinking water level in the water supply tank 4 drops accordingly; when the drinking water level in the water trough 6 rises, the water level in the water supply tank 4 rises accordingly. The position of the buoyancy plate 11 is adjusted by the water level in the water supply tank 4.

[0020] The dustproof structure includes an electric folding door 12, a through-beam grating transmitter 13, and a through-beam grating receiver 14. One side of the electric folding door 12 is installed above the inner wall of the water trough 6, covering the top of the water trough 6. The through-beam grating transmitter 13 is fixedly installed above the water trough 6 on the side near the chicken cage 3, and the through-beam grating receiver 14 is fixedly installed above the water trough 6 on the side away from the chicken cage 3. The electric folding door 12, through-beam grating transmitter 13, and through-beam grating receiver 14 are all electrically connected to a controller. The surface of the electric folding door 12 is covered with a protective film made of acrylic adhesive. The protective film is used to prevent the electric folding door 12 from being corroded by contaminants. The electric folding door 12 is used to prevent chick droppings or other contaminants from falling into the water trough 6 and contaminating the drinking water.

[0021] A sealing door 15 is provided on one side of the water supply tank 4. By opening the sealing door 15, the screw 16 and the threaded pipe 17 can be disassembled, thereby achieving the purpose of disassembling the buoyancy plate 11.

[0022] When the through-beam grating transmitter 13 and through-beam grating receiver 14 are activated, the through-beam grating transmitter 13 continuously emits infrared light to the through-beam grating receiver 14, and the controller receives the through-beam grating signal.

[0023] When the chicks need to drink from the water trough 6, their bodies will block the light path between the through-beam grating transmitter 13 and the through-beam grating receiver 14. The controller will stop receiving the through-beam grating signal. When the through-beam grating transmitter 13 does not emit infrared light to the through-beam grating receiver 14 within a preset first delay time, the electric folding door 12 will start to fold, and the chicks can drink from the water trough 6.

[0024] When the chicks stop drinking from the water trough 6, their bodies will not block the light path between the through-beam grating transmitter 13 and the through-beam grating receiver 14. When the through-beam grating transmitter 13 resumes emitting infrared light to the through-beam grating receiver 14, the second delay time begins to run. When the second delay time ends and the through-beam grating transmitter 13 continues to emit infrared light to the through-beam grating receiver 14, the electric folding door 12 begins to extend until the electric folding door 12 covers the top of the water trough 6 again.

[0025] The electric folding door 12, the through-beam grating transmitter 13, the through-beam grating receiver 14, and the related controls in this utility model are all existing mature technologies, and this utility model does not improve them.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the drinking water in the water trough 6 is not in use, the drinking water level in the water trough 6 is the same as the drinking water level in the water supply tank 4. The drinking water in the water supply tank 4 provides upward buoyancy to the buoyancy plate 11. The telescopic rod 9 is in its natural state. The buoyancy plate 11 presses against the end of the second water supply pipe 2, preventing the second water supply pipe 4 from supplying water to the water supply tank 4.

[0027] When the chicks drink the drinking water in the water trough 6, causing the drinking water level in the water trough 6 to drop, the drinking water level in the water supply tank 4 also drops. The buoyancy plate 12 moves downward along with the drinking water level in the water supply tank 4, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 9 extends, the buoyancy plate 11 does not press against the end of the second water supply pipe 2, the second water supply pipe 2 continues to supply water to the water supply tank 4, and the drinking water levels in the water trough 6 and the water supply tank 4 rise simultaneously.

[0028] As the drinking water level in the water supply tank 4 rises, the buoyancy of the drinking water in the water supply tank 4 causes the buoyancy plate 11 to rise, eventually causing the buoyancy plate 11 to press against the bottom of the second water supply pipe 2 again, preventing the second water supply pipe 2 from supplying water to the water supply tank 4.

[0029] When the chicks need to drink from the water trough 6, their bodies will block the light path between the through-beam grating transmitter 13 and the through-beam grating receiver 14. The controller will stop receiving the through-beam grating signal. When the through-beam grating transmitter 13 does not emit infrared light to the through-beam grating receiver 14 after a preset first delay time, the electric folding door 12 will start to fold, and the chicks can drink from the water trough 6.

[0030] When the chicks stop drinking from the water trough 6, their bodies will not block the light path between the through-beam grating transmitter 13 and the through-beam grating receiver 14. When the through-beam grating transmitter 13 resumes emitting infrared light to the through-beam grating receiver 14, the second delay time begins to run. When the second delay time ends and the through-beam grating transmitter 13 continues to emit infrared light to the through-beam grating receiver 14, the electric folding door 12 begins to extend until the electric folding door 12 covers the top of the water trough 6 again.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present utility model. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the present utility model or the practicality of the patent.
