Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding equipment, specifically a splash-proof device for pig waterers. Background Technology
[0002] In the design and application of pig drinkers, splash-proof performance is one of the important indicators for evaluating the drinker's effectiveness. Currently, there are some splash-proof designs for pig drinkers on the market. These designs typically reduce splashing by adding baffles or optimizing the water flow direction, but their structures are complex and still have certain limitations in practical use. For example, some devices are not adaptable enough to water flow speed and pressure, resulting in inconsistent splash-proof performance under different water supply conditions, and cleaning and maintenance are also relatively inconvenient.
[0003] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a splash-proof device for pig waterers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing anti-splash devices for pig drinkers having complex structures, insufficient adaptability to water flow speed and pressure, and inconvenient cleaning and maintenance.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a splash-proof device for pig waterers, comprising a splash-proof component and an adjusting component. The splash-proof component is located below the water outlet of the waterer to reduce water splashing. The adjusting component is connected to the splash-proof component and adjusts the working state of the splash-proof component according to changes in water flow speed and pressure. A fixed bracket is provided on the outer side of the splash-proof component, and the fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the waterer body by bolts. A sliding mechanism is provided inside the adjusting component, which contacts the bottom of the splash-proof component and drives the splash-proof component to move up and down.
[0006] The splash-proof assembly includes a guide plate and a buffer pad. The top of the guide plate has an arc-shaped groove, and the inner surface of the arc-shaped groove is covered with the buffer pad. The buffer pad is made of a flexible material, which can effectively absorb the impact force of the water flow and guide the water flow along the arc-shaped groove. Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the guide plate, and the guide grooves slide against the inner wall of the fixed bracket to limit the movement direction of the guide plate. Several drainage holes are provided at the bottom of the guide plate, which are evenly distributed to quickly drain accumulated water and prevent liquid accumulation.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the adjusting assembly includes an adjusting rod and an elastic element. The adjusting rod passes through the top of the fixed bracket and is threadedly connected to the fixed bracket. A pressure plate is provided at the bottom end of the adjusting rod, and the pressure plate contacts the top of the guide plate. The elastic element is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting rod, with one end fixedly connected to the pressure plate and the other end fixedly connected to the top of the fixed bracket. When the water flow velocity or pressure changes, the elastic element, through its own extension and contraction, drives the pressure plate to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the guide plate.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the sliding mechanism includes a slider and a limiting member. The slider is fixed to the bottom of the guide plate, and the limiting member is fixed to the inner sidewall of the fixed bracket. The slider has protrusions on both sides, which are embedded in the grooves of the limiting member to limit the slider's range of motion. A ball bearing is provided at the bottom of the slider, and the ball bearing contacts the inner bottom surface of the fixed bracket to reduce friction between the slider and the fixed bracket.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the top of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting hole for connecting to the water dispenser body. The inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with threads, which cooperate with bolts to securely fix the mounting bracket to the water dispenser body. The side of the mounting bracket is provided with an observation window made of transparent material for observing the working status of the splash-proof component.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a sealing ring is provided on the top of the guide plate, and the sealing ring is arranged around the arc-shaped groove to prevent water from overflowing from the gap between the guide plate and the fixed bracket. The sealing ring is made of corrosion-resistant material and can maintain good sealing performance during long-term use.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the surface of the buffer pad is provided with several guide grooves, which are radially distributed to guide the water flow in a specific direction. The depth of the guide grooves gradually decreases from the center to the edge, so that the water flow gradually slows down during the flow process, further reducing water splashing.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inner wall of the drain hole is provided with a filter screen, which is used to block impurities from entering the drain hole and prevent the drain hole from becoming clogged. The filter screen is detachably installed on the inner wall of the drain hole for easy cleaning and replacement.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] In the scheme of this application:
[0015] By incorporating anti-splash and adjustment components, this design solves the problems of existing anti-splash devices for pig drinkers, such as complex structure, insufficient adaptability to water flow speed and pressure, and inconvenient cleaning and maintenance. The guide plate and buffer pad in the anti-splash component work together to effectively absorb the impact of the water flow and guide the water flow in a specific direction, thereby reducing splashing. The adjustment component, through the cooperation of elastic elements and sliding mechanisms, can automatically adjust the height of the guide plate according to changes in water flow speed and pressure, ensuring the stability of the anti-splash effect. The fixed bracket design makes the entire device easy to install and disassemble, while the observation window and removable filter further enhance the convenience of cleaning and maintenance.

[0022] This utility model provides a splash-proof device for pig waterers, the specific implementation of which is described in conjunction with the attached diagram. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 Please provide a detailed explanation. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the device mainly includes a splash-proof component 1, an adjustment component 2, and a fixed bracket 3. The splash-proof component 1 is located directly below the water outlet of the water dispenser and is used to reduce water splashing; the adjustment component 2 is connected to the splash-proof component 1 and is used to adjust the working state of the splash-proof component 1 according to changes in water flow speed and pressure; the fixed bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the main body of the water dispenser by bolts, and serves to support and position it.
[0023] The core components of splash guard assembly 1 are the deflector 4 and the buffer pad 5. For example... Figure 2As shown, the top of the guide plate 4 has an arc-shaped groove, and the inner surface of the arc-shaped groove is covered with a buffer pad 5. The buffer pad 5 is made of flexible material, and its surface has several radially distributed guide grooves, the depth of which gradually decreases from the center to the edge. Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the guide plate 4, and the guide grooves slide against the inner wall of the fixed bracket 3 to limit the movement direction of the guide plate 4. Multiple drain holes 6 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the guide plate 4, and the inner wall of the drain holes 6 is provided with a removable filter screen 16 to block impurities from entering the drain holes 6 and prevent clogging. A sealing ring 15 is also provided at the top of the guide plate 4, surrounding the arc-shaped groove to prevent water from overflowing from the gap between the guide plate 4 and the fixed bracket 3.
[0024] The structure of adjustment component 2 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the system includes an adjusting rod 7, an elastic element 8, and a pressure plate 9. The adjusting rod 7 passes through the top of the fixed bracket 3 and is threadedly connected to the fixed bracket 3. Its bottom end is equipped with a pressure plate 9, which contacts the top of the guide plate 4. The elastic element 8 is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting rod 7, with one end fixedly connected to the pressure plate 9 and the other end fixedly connected to the top of the fixed bracket 3. When the water flow velocity or pressure changes, the elastic element 8, through its own extension and retraction, drives the pressure plate 9 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the guide plate 4. The design of the adjusting rod 7 allows users to manually fine-tune the height of the guide plate 4 by rotating the adjusting rod 7 to adapt to different usage needs.
[0025] The structure of the sliding mechanism is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the mechanism includes a slider 10, a limiting member 11, and a ball bearing 12. The slider 10 is fixed to the bottom of the guide plate 4, and the limiting member 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 3. The slider 10 has protrusions on both sides, which are embedded in the grooves of the limiting member 11 to limit the movement range of the slider 10. The bottom of the slider 10 has a ball bearing 12 that contacts the inner bottom surface of the fixed bracket 3 to reduce friction between the slider 10 and the fixed bracket 3. The design of the sliding mechanism ensures that the guide plate 4 remains stable and controlled during its up-and-down movement.
[0026] The specific structure of the fixed bracket 3 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the top of the mounting bracket 3 has a mounting hole 13 for connecting to the main body of the water dispenser. The inner wall of the mounting hole 13 is threaded, and the thread engages with a bolt to securely fix the mounting bracket 3 to the main body of the water dispenser. The side of the mounting bracket 3 has an observation window 14 made of transparent material for observing the working status of the splash-proof component 1. The design of the observation window 14 allows users to monitor the operation of the device in real time and promptly identify potential problems.
[0027] In practical applications, the device operates as follows: When water flows from the water dispenser outlet, it first impacts the buffer pad 5 of the splash-proof component 1. The flexible material of the buffer pad 5 absorbs the impact force of the water flow and guides the water flow in a specific direction through the guide channel. The water flow then enters the arc-shaped groove of the guide plate 4, flowing along a set path within the arc-shaped groove, further slowing down and reducing splashing. When the water flow speed or pressure increases, the impact force of the water flow on the guide plate 4 intensifies, causing the elastic element 8 to be compressed and the pressure plate 9 to move downward, thereby driving the guide plate 4 to descend. The descent of the guide plate 4 increases the contact area between the water flow and the guide plate 4, helping to disperse the impact force of the water flow and maintain the splash-proof effect. Conversely, when the water flow speed or pressure decreases, the elastic element 8 returns to its original shape, pushing the pressure plate 9 upward, causing the guide plate 4 to rise, preventing the water flow from stagnating due to excessive contact area.
[0028] The drainage holes 6 of the guide plate 4 ensure rapid drainage of accumulated water, preventing liquid buildup. The filter screen 16 inside the drainage holes 6 can be periodically removed and cleaned to maintain unobstructed drainage. Meanwhile, the sealing ring 15 effectively prevents water from overflowing from the gap between the guide plate 4 and the fixed bracket 3, ensuring the device's sealing performance. The mounting holes 13 of the fixed bracket 3 are bolted to the water dispenser body, facilitating the overall installation and disassembly of the device. The observation window 14 allows users to observe the internal working status without disassembling the device, improving maintenance convenience.
[0029] Furthermore, the slider 10, limiting member 11, and ball bearing 12 in the sliding mechanism work together to ensure the guide plate 4 remains stable during its up-and-down movement. The protrusion of the slider 10 is embedded in the groove of the limiting member 11, limiting the range of movement of the guide plate 4 and preventing it from deviating from the predetermined path. The design of the ball bearing 12 reduces the friction between the slider 10 and the fixed bracket 3, improving the smoothness of the guide plate 4's movement. This design not only enhances the reliability of the device but also extends its service life.
[0030] As can be seen from the above specific embodiments, the anti-splash device for pig drinkers provided by this utility model solves the problems of complex structure, insufficient adaptability to water flow speed and pressure, and inconvenient cleaning and maintenance in the prior art through the synergistic effect of the anti-splash component 1, the adjustment component 2, and the fixed bracket 3. The entire device is reasonably designed, easy to operate, and can effectively reduce water splashing, improving the efficiency and hygiene of the drinker.
[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the specific implementation principles of this utility model are further explained below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.
[0032] First, connect the mounting bracket 3 to the water dispenser body using bolts. The mounting hole 13 at the top of the mounting bracket 3 has threads on its inner wall. After screwing the bolt into the mounting hole 13, the mounting bracket 3 is securely fixed to the water dispenser body. At this time, the observation window 14 of the mounting bracket 3 faces a side that is easy for the operator to view, so as to monitor the device's operating status in real time. After fixing, ensure that the mounting bracket 3 is stable and without loosening, providing reliable support for the subsequent operation of the splash-proof component 1 and the adjustment component 2.
[0033] Subsequently, as water flows out of the water dispenser's outlet, it first enters the buffer pad 5 area of the splash-proof component 1. The buffer pad 5 is made of flexible material, and its surface has radially distributed guide grooves, the depth of which gradually decreases from the center to the edge. When the water impacts the buffer pad 5, the flexible material absorbs some of the water's kinetic energy, while the guide grooves guide the water flow in a specific direction, preventing direct scattering and splashing. Under the action of the buffer pad 5, the water enters the arc-shaped groove of the guide plate 4, continuing to flow along a predetermined path within the groove, further slowing down and dispersing the impact force, thereby reducing water splashing. During this process, the sealing ring 15 surrounds the arc-shaped groove of the guide plate 4, effectively preventing water from overflowing from the gap between the guide plate 4 and the fixed bracket 3, ensuring the device's sealing performance.
[0034] When the water flow velocity or pressure changes, the regulating component 2 begins to function. Specifically, the reaction force generated by the water flow impacting the guide plate 4 is transmitted to the pressure plate 9, which is connected to the elastic element 8. If the water flow velocity or pressure increases, the impact force on the guide plate 4 increases, causing the elastic element 8 to be compressed and the pressure plate 9 to move downward, thereby causing the guide plate 4 to descend. The descent of the guide plate 4 increases the contact area between the water flow and the guide plate 4, which helps to disperse the water flow impact force and maintain the anti-splash effect. Conversely, when the water flow velocity or pressure decreases, the elastic element 8 returns to its original shape, pushing the pressure plate 9 upward, causing the guide plate 4 to rise, avoiding stagnation caused by excessive water flow contact area. In addition, the user can manually fine-tune the height of the guide plate 4 by rotating the adjusting rod 7 to adapt to the usage needs under different water supply conditions. The adjusting rod 7 passes through the top of the fixed bracket 3 and is threaded to it, with its bottom end contacting the pressure plate 9. By rotating the adjusting rod 7, the position of the pressure plate 9 can be precisely adjusted, thereby controlling the height of the guide plate 4.
[0035] The sliding mechanism design ensures that the guide plate 4 remains stable and controlled during its up-and-down movement. Specifically, the slider 10 is fixed to the bottom of the guide plate 4, and the limiting member 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 3. The protrusions on both sides of the slider 10 are embedded in the grooves of the limiting member 11, limiting the range of movement of the slider 10 and preventing the guide plate 4 from deviating from the predetermined path. The ball bearing 12 at the bottom of the slider 10 contacts the inner bottom surface of the fixed bracket 3, reducing the friction between the slider 10 and the fixed bracket 3 and improving the smoothness of the movement of the guide plate 4. This design not only enhances the reliability of the device but also extends its service life.
[0036] After the water flows through the guide plate 4, the accumulated water is quickly discharged through the evenly distributed drainage holes 6 at the bottom of the guide plate 4, preventing liquid accumulation. The inner wall of the drainage holes 6 is equipped with a removable filter screen 16 to block impurities from entering the drainage holes 6 and prevent clogging. The filter screen 16 can be removed and cleaned periodically to maintain unobstructed drainage. The observation window 14 is made of transparent material, allowing users to view the internal working status without disassembling the device, promptly identifying potential problems and performing maintenance.
[0037] As can be seen from the above steps, the anti-splash device for pig drinkers provided by this utility model can automatically adjust the working state of the anti-splash component 1 according to changes in water flow speed and pressure in practical applications, while also possessing good sealing performance and ease of cleaning and maintenance. The entire device is reasonably designed, easy to operate, and can effectively reduce water splashing, improving the efficiency and hygiene of the drinker.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
