Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking cups for livestock, specifically a drinking cup for livestock. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken drinking cups are commonly used drinking equipment in chicken farms, offering significant advantages. They are easy to install, compatible with most square or round tube chicken houses, and installation can be completed in minutes. Made of food-grade materials, they reduce water contamination by chicken manure, lowering the risk of disease transmission, and are easy to clean. They feature a water-saving design, reducing waste, preventing splashing, and keeping the chicken house clean. They are also affordable, durable, and offer high long-term economic benefits.

[0003] Currently, some poultry drinking cups are designed with automatic water filling mechanisms to reduce manual water filling. However, a problem exists in actual operation: traditional water filling mechanisms usually use a water pipe with an external outlet. If poultry are drinking, their heads can easily come into contact with the falling liquid, resulting in a lot of dirty water contamination inside the cage, increasing the need for subsequent cage cleaning. Therefore, the inventor urgently needs to design a liquid diversion mechanism to reduce the amount of liquid dripping onto the poultry's head and improve the hygiene of the water source. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drinking cup for livestock to solve the conflict between the drinking process of poultry and the liquid dripping process, thereby reducing the technical problems of water source hygiene.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drinking cup for livestock, comprising a cup body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the upper side of one side of the cup body, a three-way pipe installed on the upper side of one side of the connecting plate, and a flow guiding mechanism installed on the lower side of one side of the connecting plate, wherein the liquid outlet in the three-way pipe is opposite to the flow guiding mechanism, for guiding the liquid to one side and flowing into the interior of the cup body; The flow guiding mechanism includes a fixing plate and a flow guiding plate. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and a channel for liquid flow is formed between them. The flow guiding plate has an inclined structure and is attached to the outlet of the three-way pipe.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the liquid flows out from the outlet of the three-way pipe, it will be received by the inclined guide plate in the flow guiding mechanism instead of dripping directly. This effectively avoids the situation where the poultry's head comes into contact with the falling liquid when drinking, reduces the sewage pollution caused by the liquid splashing into the cage, and thus reduces the frequency and difficulty of subsequent cage cleaning operations, creating a more hygienic drinking environment for poultry.

[0007] Furthermore, the cross-section of the drainage plate is arc-shaped, and the corners of the drainage plate are rounded.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid flowing out of the three-way pipe outlet can be received and guided to one side more smoothly, avoiding splashing of the liquid during the diversion process due to insufficient contact area or excessive flow resistance. This further reduces the possibility of liquid splashing onto the cage or poultry's head, improves the stability and reliability of the diversion effect, and ensures that the liquid can flow into the cup more accurately through the channel between the fixing plate and the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a through groove is provided on the connecting plate, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the three-way pipe, a limiting piece is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting pipe, the end of the connecting pipe passes through the through groove and is threadedly connected to a fastening cap, and the fastening cap and the connecting plate clamp the poultry cage wire to achieve the fixation of the position of the drinking cup relative to the cage.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, simply pass the connecting pipe through the through groove, and then clamp the poultry cage wire with the fastening cap and connecting plate to fix the position of the drinking cup relative to the cage. This fixing method is simple and convenient to operate, and can be completed without complicated tools, which greatly reduces the installation difficulty and time cost for operators. At the same time, the clamping fixation can ensure that the drinking cup is not easy to loosen after installation, and can maintain a stable position even when poultry peck frequently or the cage vibrates slightly.

[0011] Furthermore, the through groove has a straight groove structure, which is used to adapt to the longitudinal installation position of the cup body relative to the cage.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, in actual breeding scenarios, different breeds and different growth stages of poultry have different height requirements for standing to drink water. The straight trough allows operators to adjust the position of the cup up and down according to the actual needs of the poultry, so that the height of the cup is always adapted to the drinking habits of the poultry. This allows the poultry to drink water easily without having to raise or lower their heads excessively, improving the convenience of drinking water for poultry, indirectly ensuring the amount of water intake of poultry, and is conducive to the healthy growth of poultry.

[0013] Furthermore, an anti-overflow mechanism is provided below the cup body. The anti-overflow mechanism includes a receiving shell, and a channel for overflow liquid to flow is formed between the receiving shell and the cup body. The receiving shell and the cup body are fixedly connected by several connecting pieces, and gaps are formed between adjacent connecting pieces.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, any overflow liquid that may occur in the cup can be collected in a timely manner, preventing the overflow liquid from flowing directly into the cage, reducing the generation of sewage in the cage, reducing pollution caused by liquid overflow from the source, keeping the cage's internal environment dry and clean, providing a more comfortable growth environment for poultry, and also reducing the risk of bacterial growth caused by sewage accumulation, thus protecting the health of poultry.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower middle part of the receiving shell has a conical funnel structure and is connected to a plastic shaped hose for guiding the overflow liquid to the outside of the cage.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the dispersed overflow liquid is guided to concentrate in the middle of the receiving shell, avoiding the residue caused by the liquid flowing around in the receiving shell, reducing the possibility of bacteria growing due to the liquid staying in the receiving shell for a long time, improving the hygiene of the overflow liquid treatment process, and also reducing the difficulty of cleaning the receiving shell afterwards.

[0017] Furthermore, the entire drinking cup is made of plastic.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the plastic material is lighter, which greatly facilitates the transportation, installation and position adjustment of the drinking cup. At the same time, it reduces the physical exertion of operators during the installation and adjustment process and improves the ease of operation.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: 1. This utility model uses a flow guiding mechanism, in which the flow guiding plate receives the liquid from the outlet of the three-way pipe, preventing the liquid from dripping directly onto the poultry's head, reducing sewage pollution inside the cage, and reducing the amount of subsequent cage cleaning work; at the same time, the fixed plate and the connecting plate of the flow guiding mechanism form a liquid flow channel, ensuring that the liquid guided by the flow guiding plate flows smoothly into the cup, avoiding liquid waste and improving water utilization efficiency. 2. This utility model uses an anti-overflow mechanism. The receiving shell cooperates with the cup body through a connecting piece to collect the liquid overflowing from the cup body, preventing the overflow liquid from flowing directly into the cage, further reducing cage contamination and keeping the cage dry. At the same time, the conical funnel structure at the lower middle part of the receiving shell is connected to a plastic shaping hose, which can guide the overflow liquid to the outside of the cage. The plastic shaping hose can flexibly adjust the guiding direction to adapt to different breeding scenarios and reduce the risk of bacterial growth. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] In this embodiment: A type of drinking cup for livestock, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a cup body 1, a connecting plate 2 fixedly connected to the upper side of one side of the cup body 1, a three-way pipe 3 installed on the upper side of one side of the connecting plate 2, and a flow guiding mechanism 8 installed on the lower side of one side of the connecting plate 2. The liquid outlet in the three-way pipe 3 is opposite to the flow guiding mechanism 8, and is used to guide the liquid to one side and flow into the interior of the cup body 1. The flow guiding mechanism 8 includes a fixing plate 801 and a flow guiding plate 802. The fixing plate 801 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 2, forming a channel for liquid flow. The flow guiding plate 802 has an inclined structure and is positioned below the outlet of the three-way pipe 3. When liquid flows out from the outlet of the three-way pipe 3, it is caught by the inclined flow guiding plate 802 in the flow guiding mechanism 8 instead of dripping directly. This effectively avoids the situation where the poultry's head comes into contact with the falling liquid when drinking, reducing the sewage pollution caused by liquid splashing into the cage. This reduces the frequency and difficulty of subsequent cage cleaning operations, creating a more hygienic drinking environment for poultry. At the same time, the fixing plate 801 of the flow guiding mechanism 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 2, forming a channel for liquid flow. This not only ensures the stability of the flow guiding mechanism 8 itself but also guides the liquid after being guided by the flow guiding plate 802 to flow smoothly into the cup body 1, ensuring no leakage or waste during liquid transmission, thus improving the effectiveness of water resource utilization.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The cross-section of the diversion plate 802 is arc-shaped, and the corners of the diversion plate 802 are rounded. This allows the liquid flowing from the outlet of the three-way pipe 3 to be received more smoothly and guided to one side, avoiding splashing of the liquid during the diversion process due to insufficient contact area or excessive flow resistance. This further reduces the possibility of liquid splashing onto the cage or the head of the poultry, improving the stability and reliability of the diversion effect. It ensures that the liquid can flow into the cup body 1 more accurately through the channel between the fixing plate 801 and the connecting plate 2. At the same time, the corners of the diversion plate 802 are rounded, which can prevent operators from being scratched by sharp corners when installing, cleaning or maintaining the diversion mechanism 8, thus improving the safety of the equipment during use.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The connecting plate 2 has a through groove 7. A connecting pipe 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the tee pipe 3. A limiting piece 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting pipe 4. The end of the connecting pipe 4 passes through the through groove 7 and is threadedly connected to a fastening cap 5. The fastening cap 5 and the connecting plate 2 clamp the poultry cage wire, thereby fixing the position of the drinking cup relative to the cage. During installation, simply pass the connecting pipe 4 through the through groove 7, and then clamp the poultry cage wire between the fastening cap 5 and the connecting plate 2 to fix the position of the drinking cup relative to the cage. This fixing method is simple and convenient to operate. Installation can be completed without complicated tools, which greatly reduces the installation difficulty and time cost for operators. At the same time, the clamping fixation ensures that the drinking cup is not easy to loosen after installation. Even when poultry peck frequently or the cage vibrates slightly, it can maintain a stable position. Meanwhile, the setting of the limiting plate 6 can effectively limit the depth of the connecting pipe 4 through the through groove 7, avoiding the connecting pipe 4 from being over-inserted and causing the T-pipe 3 or connecting plate 2 to be deformed by force. It can also ensure that the force is even when the fastening cap 5 is tightened, further improving the stability of the fixing effect.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The through-slot 7 has a straight groove structure, which is used to adapt to the longitudinal installation position of the cup 1 relative to the cage. In actual breeding scenarios, different breeds and different growth stages of poultry have different height requirements for standing drinking. The straight groove 7 allows the operator to adjust the position of the cup 1 up and down according to the actual needs of the poultry, so that the height of the cup 1 is always adapted to the drinking habits of the poultry. This allows the poultry to drink easily without having to raise or lower their heads excessively, improving the convenience of drinking for poultry and indirectly ensuring the amount of water intake of poultry, which is conducive to the healthy growth of poultry. At the same time, the adjustability of the longitudinal position can also ensure that the flow guiding mechanism 8 always maintains the best alignment with the liquid outlet of the three-way pipe 3, avoiding the failure of the flow guiding plate 802 to accurately receive the liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet of the three-way pipe 3 due to improper position of the cup 1, and ensuring that the flow guiding function of the flow guiding mechanism 8 is continuously effective.

[0027] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 An overflow prevention mechanism 9 is provided below the cup body 1. The overflow prevention mechanism 9 includes a receiving shell 901, which forms a channel for overflow liquid to flow between the receiving shell 901 and the cup body 1. The receiving shell 901 and the cup body 1 are fixedly connected by several connecting pieces 902, and gaps 903 are formed between adjacent connecting pieces 902. This allows for timely collection of any overflow liquid that may occur inside the cup body 1, preventing the overflow liquid from flowing directly into the cage and reducing the generation of sewage inside the cage. This reduces pollution caused by liquid overflow from the source, keeps the cage's internal environment dry and clean, provides a more comfortable growth environment for poultry, and also reduces the risk of bacterial growth caused by sewage accumulation, ensuring the health of poultry. At the same time, the fixed connection between the receiving shell 901 and the cup body 1 by several connecting pieces 902 ensures the stability of the connection between the receiving shell 901 and the cup body 1, prevents the receiving shell 901 from falling off or shifting during use, and further improves the overflow collection efficiency of the overflow prevention mechanism 9.

[0028] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The receiving shell 901 has a conical funnel structure at its lower center, and is connected to a plastic shaped hose 904. This hose guides the overflow liquid to the outside of the cage, directing the dispersed overflow liquid towards the center of the receiving shell 901. This prevents the liquid from flowing around inside the receiving shell 901 and causing residue, reducing the possibility of bacteria growth due to prolonged liquid retention inside the receiving shell 901. This improves the hygiene of the overflow liquid treatment process and also reduces the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the receiving shell 901. At the same time, the plastic shaped hose 904 connected to the conical funnel structure can directly guide the concentrated overflow liquid to the outside of the cage, completely avoiding pollution caused by the accumulation of overflow liquid inside the cage. This fundamentally solves the cage cleaning problem caused by liquid overflow. Moreover, the plastic shaped hose 904 has a shape-fixing characteristic, allowing operators to flexibly adjust the guiding direction and angle of the hose according to the actual cage layout, breeding space size, etc., so that the overflow liquid can flow precisely to the designated wastewater collection area, adapting to different breeding scenario needs.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The entire drinking cup is made of plastic, which is lighter and greatly facilitates transportation, installation, and positioning. It also reduces the physical exertion of operators during installation and adjustment, improving ease of use. In addition, plastic has good corrosion resistance and aging resistance, which can resist the corrosion of the equipment by the liquid during drinking, avoiding problems such as material damage and leakage due to corrosion, effectively extending the service life of the drinking cup and reducing equipment replacement costs in the breeding process.

[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, adjust the longitudinal position of the cup body 1 relative to the poultry cage through the through groove 7 on the connecting plate 2. Then, pass the connecting pipe 4 on one side of the three-way pipe 3 through the through groove 7. Use the limiting piece 6 on the outside of the connecting pipe 4 and the fastening cap 5 connected to the end thread to clamp the cage wire to fix the entire drinking cup. Then, connect the three-way pipe 3 to the water source. The liquid at its outlet will fall to the flow guiding mechanism 8 below. Because the flow guiding plate 802 of the flow guiding mechanism 8 is inclined arc-shaped and receives the liquid directly below the outlet, the liquid can be guided to one side by the flow guiding plate 802, and then through the solid... The channel formed between the fixed plate 801 and the connecting plate 2 flows into the cup body 1, preventing liquid from dripping directly onto the poultry's head. If liquid overflows from the cup body 1, the overflowing liquid will enter the overflow prevention mechanism 9 below. The receiving shell 901 of the overflow prevention mechanism 9 is fixed to the cup body 1 by several connecting plates 902. The overflowing liquid is collected in the receiving shell 901 through the gap 903 between adjacent connecting plates 902, and then flows into the plastic shaping hose 904 through the conical funnel structure at the lower center of the receiving shell 901. Finally, it is guided to the outside of the cage, reducing sewage pollution inside the cage.
