Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent water supply system for livestock farming, belonging to the field of livestock farming technology. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is an important agricultural production activity in which humans obtain products such as meat, eggs, milk, and fur by domesticating, breeding, and managing animals. Its history can be traced back to the Neolithic Age tens of thousands of years ago. Today, it has developed into a modern industry that integrates scientific breeding, precision nutrition, disease prevention and control, welfare-oriented feeding, and ecological recycling.

[0003] Currently, the aquaculture systems on the market have relatively limited water level monitoring capabilities, only providing simple warning signals and lacking remote alerts. This makes it difficult for staff to grasp water level changes in a timely and accurate manner, hindering precise water level management. This not only increases the workload of manual inspections but may also affect the stable operation of the aquaculture system due to response delays.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the intelligent water supply system for livestock farming in order to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent water supply system for livestock farming. When the water level falls below the height of the water level sensor, an alarm light and a signal will be sent to the staff's mobile phone so that the staff can be notified immediately.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solution adopted by this utility model includes: an intelligent water line drinking system for livestock breeding, comprising an installation box and a water conveying mechanism disposed inside the installation box. The water conveying mechanism includes a main pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation box, two secondary pipes connected to the main pipe, a connecting pipe for connecting the two secondary pipes, and a pressure reducing valve fixedly connected to one end of the outlet of the two secondary pipes. Each of the two pressure reducing valves has a water supply pipe fixedly installed at one end, and two water level pipes are fixedly connected to the other end of each of the two water supply pipes. A water level sensor is installed inside each of the two water level pipes, and the water level sensor is used for water level monitoring.

[0007] Preferably, both pressure reducing valves are rotatably provided with a rotating handle at their bottom, the rotating handle being used for water pressure adjustment, and both rotating handles extending to the outside of the mounting box.

[0008] Preferably, a filter is fixedly installed on the main pipeline, and the filter is used for filtering liquids.

[0009] Preferably, both of the secondary pipes are equipped with solenoid valves, which are used to open or close the secondary pipes.

[0010] Preferably, a drug storage tank is fixedly installed on one of the secondary pipes, and one end of the drug storage tank's filling port extends to the outside of the mounting box.

[0011] Preferably, a warning light and a communication module are fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting box, and both the warning light and the communication module are electrically connected to the water level sensor.

[0012] Preferably, a control terminal is fixedly provided on one side of the mounting box, and the control terminal is used to control the water conveying mechanism.

[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: The water level sensor is used for water level monitoring. After the main pipeline is connected to the external water pump, the staff turns on the water pump to transport the liquid to the water delivery pipeline through the main pipeline and the auxiliary pipeline. Then, the water delivery pipeline uses the nozzles installed on it to spray the liquid into the breeding equipment so that the livestock can drink the liquid. During the process described above, after the water flows into the water supply pipe, it will continue to flow into the water level pipe, thereby activating the water level sensor installed inside the water level pipe. When the water level does not reach the height of the water level sensor, a warning light and the staff's mobile phone will send a signal so that the staff can be notified immediately.

[0016] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0017] Examples, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an intelligent water supply system for livestock farming includes an installation box 1 and a water conveying mechanism installed inside the installation box 1. The water conveying mechanism includes a main pipe 9 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation box 1, two secondary pipes 10 connected to the main pipe 9, a connecting pipe 101 for connecting the two secondary pipes 10, and a pressure reducing valve 13 fixedly connected to one end of the outlet of the two secondary pipes 10. Two pressure reducing valves 13 are each fixedly equipped with a water supply pipe 3 at one end, and two water level pipes 6 are fixedly connected to the other end of the two water supply pipes 3. Water level sensors 7 are installed in both water level pipes 6. The water level sensors 7 are used for water level monitoring. After the main pipe 9 is connected to an external water pump, the staff turns on the water pump to transport the liquid to the water supply pipe 3 through the main pipe 9 and the auxiliary pipe 10. Then, the water supply pipe 3 uses the nozzles installed on it to spray the liquid into the breeding device so that the livestock can drink the liquid. During the above process, after the water flows into the water supply pipe 3, it will continue to flow into the water level pipe 6, which will affect the water level sensor 7 installed inside the water level pipe 6. When the water level does not reach the height of the water level sensor 7, the warning light 2 and the staff will send a signal so that the staff can know immediately. Both pressure reducing valves 13 are equipped with rotating handles 14 at their bottom. The rotating handles 14 are used for water pressure adjustment. Both rotating handles 14 extend to the outside of the mounting box 1. At the same time, the operator can also control the pressure of the water flow by controlling the servo motor inside the pressure reducing valve 13. This allows the pressure of the flowing water to be affected, which can control the water flow from each row of water pipes 3. This enables the automated and precise regulation of drinking water volume based on the differences in the size and growth stage of the livestock and poultry. It should be noted that water supply pipe 3 can be installed in multiple drinking troughs according to actual needs; At the same time, the rotating handle 14 extends to the outside of the mounting box 1. The operator can also manually rotate the rotating handle 14 so that the pressure reducing valve 13 can achieve the above-mentioned water pressure regulation effect. This can avoid damage to the servo motor inside the pressure reducing valve 13, which would cause the pressure reducing valve 13 to malfunction. It should be noted that the output end of the servo motor inside the pressure reducing valve 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating handle 14, so that the rotating handle 14 can be rotated directly through the control end 15 to achieve the above effect.

[0018] Furthermore, a filter 8 is fixedly installed on the main pipeline 9. The filter 8 is used for filtering the liquid. Both secondary pipelines 10 are equipped with solenoid valves 11. The solenoid valves 11 are used to open or close the secondary pipelines 10. A drug storage tank 12 is fixedly installed on one of the secondary pipelines 10. One end of the filling port of the drug storage tank 12 extends to the outside of the mounting box 1. When the water pump is turned on, the liquid will first pass through the filter 8 and then flow into the main pipeline 9, so that the liquid can be filtered by the filter 8. At the same time, one or two secondary pipes 10 can be opened or closed by solenoid valve 11. When solenoid valve 11 on one side of drug storage tank 12 is opened, the liquid will be mixed with the drug inside drug storage tank 12 and then the mixed liquid will be delivered to the drinking tank. Conversely, when solenoid valve 11 on another secondary pipe 10 is opened, the drinking liquid will only be delivered to the drinking tank. It should be noted that a one-way valve can be installed on the opening of the drug storage tank 12 on the side away from the solenoid valve 11, so as to prevent the liquid transported by the other auxiliary pipe 10 from flowing back into the drug storage tank 12.

[0019] Furthermore, a warning light 2 and a communication module 5 are fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting box 1. Both the warning light 2 and the communication module 5 are electrically connected to the water level sensor 7. A control terminal 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting box 1. The control terminal 15 is used to control the water conveying mechanism. The water level sensor 7 can send signals to the staff's mobile phone through the communication module 5, which is electrically connected to it. The data signals are sent to cloud platforms such as Alibaba Cloud, Blynk, and Home Assistant via the MQTT / HTTP protocol. This is existing technology. The mounting box 1 controls the servo motors inside the solenoid valve 11 and the pressure reducing valve 13 via electrical signals. The control method is as follows: Solenoid valve 11 (drives the solenoid valve coil by controlling the on / off state of the control circuit. When energized, the coil generates magnetic force, attracting the valve core, and the valve opens / closes (depending on the normally open / normally closed type). When de-energized, the magnetic force disappears, the valve core is reset by the spring, and the valve state reverses). Servo motors (whose position, speed, or torque is controlled via PWM signals, analog voltage, or digital communication protocols such as RS485) require matching drivers and stable power and signals during actual use and production. Warning light 2 (the water level sensor 7 triggers a relay, transistor, or microcontroller circuit through a high or low level or PWM signal to power on the warning light 2 and make it flash, thus realizing the alarm for water level exceeding the limit).

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, the principle of an intelligent water supply system for livestock farming is as follows: The water level sensor 7 is used for water level monitoring. After the main pipe 9 is connected to the external water pump, the staff turns on the water pump to transport the liquid to the water supply pipe 3 through the main pipe 9 and the auxiliary pipe 10. Then, the water supply pipe 3 uses the nozzles installed on it to spray the liquid into the breeding device so that the livestock can drink the liquid. During the above process, after the water flows into the water supply pipe 3, it will continue to flow into the water level pipe 6, which will affect the water level sensor 7 installed inside the water level pipe 6. When the water level does not reach the height of the water level sensor 7, the warning light 2 and the staff will send a signal so that the staff can know immediately.
