Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular relates to an automatic water feeding device for livestock and poultry. Background Technology

[0002] The livestock farm has a high stocking density, and the livestock and poultry have a high demand for water during their growth. Staff need to pay attention to the water level in the water tanks in a timely manner and replenish the water in time. The heavy water replenishment work brings inconvenience to the staff's other work. The existing drinking troughs for livestock and poultry farming do not have automatic water replenishment function, and the water replenishment is limited. Sometimes, if the staff cannot replenish the water in time, it will cause serious dehydration problems for the livestock and poultry. Therefore, automatic water replenishment devices have emerged.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 201821112344.1, entitled "An Automatic Watering Device for Livestock and Poultry Farming," discloses an automatic watering device including a drinking trough, a water storage tank, a control box, a level gauge, a water pipe, and a water pump.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in the present utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] This embodiment provides an automatic watering device for livestock and poultry, such as Figure 1As shown, this device is installed on one side of the fence 1. The water feeding device includes a water inlet assembly 10 and a water trough assembly 20, so that one side of the water trough assembly 20 extends into the fence 1 for feeding water to poultry and livestock.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the water inlet assembly 10 includes a temporary storage box 11, a water storage tank 12, and a switch 13. The temporary storage box 11 is fixedly connected to a frame and is used to temporarily store water. Water outlet pipes 111 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the temporary storage box 11. A cover plate 112 is provided on the top surface of the temporary storage box 11. A water inlet pipe 113 is passed through the cover plate 112 for injecting water into the temporary storage box 11.

[0026] The water storage tank 12 is located below the temporary storage box 11, and the lower end of the water outlet pipe 111 is directly opposite the water storage tank 12. For example... Figures 3-4 , Figure 8 As shown, guide seats 121 are respectively provided on the inner walls of both sides of the water storage tank 12. The guide seats 121 are vertically arranged along the height direction of the water storage tank 12, and a slide groove with a T-shaped cross-section is opened along the height direction of the guide seats 121. A sealing plate 126 is installed on the top of the guide seat 121 at the upper end of the slide groove. A U-shaped seat 122 is slidably arranged in the slide groove. A rectangular plate 123 is provided on the vertical part of one side of the U-shaped seat 122. The rectangular plate 123 is slidably engaged with the horizontal part of the slide groove. The vertical part of the side of the U-shaped seat 122 with the rectangular plate 123 is slidably engaged with the vertical part of the slide groove. An adjusting rod 124 is vertically provided on the upper end of the support arm on the side of the U-shaped seat 122 with the rectangular plate 123. Square holes are arranged in an array along the height direction of the adjusting rod 124. Pins 125 are respectively inserted through the two side walls of the water storage tank 12. One end of the pin 125 passes through the water storage tank 12 and is inserted into the corresponding square hole to adjust the height of the U-shaped seat 122 in the vertical direction.

[0027] Two switch components 13 are provided, and are respectively rotatably mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the water storage tank 12. The switch component 13 includes a strip plate 131, a foam board 132, a pull rod 133, a rubber stopper 134, a baffle 135, and a limiting plate 136. Rotating pins are respectively provided on both sides of the middle part of the strip plate 131. The rotating pins are rotatably connected to the two side arms of the U-shaped seat 122, and the distance between the axis of the rotating pin and the horizontal part of the U-shaped seat 122 is greater than the thickness of the strip plate 131. The foam board 132 is located at one end of the strip plate 131, and the lower end of the pull rod 133 is rotatably mounted at the other end of the strip plate 131.

[0028] like Figure 6As shown, the upper end of the pull rod 133 passes through the water outlet pipe 111 and extends into the temporary storage box 11. A rubber stopper 134 is located at the upper end of the pull rod 133 and inside the temporary storage box 11. A funnel-shaped opening 114 is provided at the connection between the water pipe 111 and the bottom surface of the temporary storage box 11. The rubber stopper 134 has an inverted conical structure, and its taper is adapted to the size of the funnel-shaped opening 114. It is used to open or close the connection between the water outlet pipe 111 and the bottom surface of the temporary storage box 11, so that water in the water storage tank 12 can flow out or be blocked from flowing out. The distance between the axis of the rotating pin and the foam board 132 is greater than the distance between the axis of the rotating pin and the connection between the lower end of the pull rod 133 and the strip plate 131.

[0029] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, when the water level reaches the preset height, ensure that the rubber plug 134 enters the funnel-shaped opening 114, and set the foam board 132 into a rectangular structure. A rectangular hole is passed through the foam board 132 along its length. The foam board 132 is provided with a rectangular hole that matches the strip plate 131, so that one end of the strip plate 131 passes through the foam board 132. The baffle 135 is set at the end of the strip plate 131 that passes through the foam board 132, and the baffle 135 and the strip plate 131 are detachable. The baffle 135 and the strip plate 131 are connected by bolts, so that the side of the foam board 132 with the largest area is in contact with the water, preventing the foam board 132 from flipping over.

[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the water tank assembly 20 includes a water feeding tank 21 and a connecting pipe 22. One end of the bottom of the water feeding tank 21 is connected to one end of the bottom of the water storage tank 12 through the connecting pipe 22, so that the water level in the water feeding tank 21 is the same as the water level in the water storage tank 12.

[0031] Specific usage instructions: Fill the water storage tank with the required amount of water, and connect the two ends of the inlet pipe 113 to the outlet of the water storage tank and the inlet of the temporary storage tank 11, respectively, so that the water can be diverted into the temporary storage tank 11. At this time, since there is no water in the water storage tank 12, the end of the strip plate 131 with the foam board 132 is tilted downward into the bottom of the water storage tank 12, and the end of the strip plate 131 with the pull rod 133 is tilted upward, so that the rubber plug 134 enters the temporary storage tank 11 upward, so that the funnel-shaped opening 114 at the connection between the outlet pipe 111 and the bottom surface of the temporary storage tank 11 is opened, so that the water entering the temporary storage tank 11 directly enters the water storage tank 12 through the outlet pipe 111, and then enters the water feeding tank 21 through the connecting pipe 22 connecting the water storage tank 12 and the water feeding tank 21.

[0032] When the water level in the water storage tank 12 reaches the height of the axis of the rotating pin, the strip plate 131 is in a horizontal state. Under the buoyancy of the water on the foam board 132, the connection between the strip plate 131 and the pull rod 133 is downward, so that the rubber plug 134 enters vertically downward into the funnel-shaped opening 114 at the connection between the water inlet pipe 111 and the bottom surface of the temporary storage box 11, thereby blocking the water entering the temporary storage box 11 from flowing into the water outlet pipe 111. When the water fills the temporary storage box 11, the water flow is automatically stopped.

[0033] When the water level in the water trough 21 drops, the end of the strip plate 131 where the foam board 132 is installed tilts downward again, and the upper end of the pull rod 133 is vertically upward, thereby pushing the rubber plug 134 vertically upward. The connection between the water pipe 111 and the bottom of the temporary storage box 11 is provided with a funnel-shaped opening 114, so that water can re-enter the water storage tank 12 through the water outlet pipe 111. By repeating this process, the purpose of automatically pouring water into the water trough 21 can be achieved, reducing the intensity of manual labor. Moreover, the structure is simple, does not require the assistance of power equipment, and is inexpensive.

[0034] If the water demand is lower in winter than in summer, the adjusting rod 124 can be moved vertically downwards to allow the U-shaped seat 122 to move the strip plate 131 downwards. The pull rod 133 can be designed as a telescopic structure to accommodate the adjustable height of the moving seat 122. Specifically, the telescopic structure of the pull rod 133 can use hollow rods with progressively decreasing diameters, with spring pins at the connection points of adjacent rods. Alternatively, the pull rod 133 can be divided into two sections, with external threads at opposite ends of the two sections and a threaded sleeve coaxially positioned between them. The inner walls of the threaded sleeve have threads of opposite directions at both ends, connecting the lower end of the upper section to the upper end of the threaded sleeve, and the upper end of the lower section to the lower end of the threaded sleeve. Rotating the threaded sleeve allows the pull rod 133 to extend or shorten. This allows for the storage of water in the water tank 21, preventing water waste.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not imply its uniqueness or limitation. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions made to this utility model without departing from its scope are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
