Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment, and in particular to a drinking trough for livestock breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Water troughs are one of the basic facilities in animal husbandry. For example, they are often used in cattle farms. A water trough is a container used to store and supply drinking water to animals. Animal water troughs provide animals with a stable source of drinking water. In addition to storing water, water troughs also store liquid food for livestock and poultry to eat.

[0003] In the cold winter or high-altitude pastoral areas, drinking water and liquid food placed in the water troughs quickly lose heat and become cold. When livestock drink ice water, they will experience cold stress and increase their own heat loss. Prolonged consumption of cold drinking water or liquid food can also damage the gastrointestinal tract and affect the growth of livestock. Therefore, maintaining an appropriate temperature in the water troughs is a necessary and urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to maintain a suitable temperature in the water trough, this application provides a water trough for aquaculture.

[0005] The water trough for aquaculture provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A water trough for aquaculture includes a trough body, with support plates fixedly connected to both ends of the trough body. Both the trough body and the support plates are covered with an insulation layer. The support plates are used to seal both ends of the trough body and support it on the ground. A heating plate is installed inside the trough body and is electrically connected to a power source.

[0006] A further technical solution is that the support plate is provided with a circular sliding groove, and a cover plate is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The cross-section of the groove and the cover plate are both semi-circular.

[0007] A further technical solution is that a limiting plate is provided on one side of the cover plate, the limiting plate protruding to the inner side of the cover plate. When the cover plate is in the closed state, the limiting plate abuts against one side of the groove body. When the cover plate is in the open state, the limiting plate abuts against the other side of the groove body.

[0008] A further technical solution is that an ultraviolet lamp is installed on the inner side of the cover plate, and a limit switch for opening / closing the ultraviolet lamp is installed on the side of the groove. When the cover plate is in the open state, the limit plate triggers the limit switch to control the ultraviolet lamp to turn off.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the power source includes any one or more combinations of mains power, photovoltaic power generation device and wind power generation device, the power source is connected to a battery, and the battery is electrically connected to the heating plate and the ultraviolet lamp.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: By installing a heating plate inside the tank and wrapping an insulation layer around the outside of the tank, the water inside the tank can be heated to a suitable temperature. At the same time, the insulation layer reduces the rate of water temperature loss, prevents the drinking water from being too cold for a long time and causing continuous damage to livestock, and avoids cold stress reactions in livestock when drinking water.

[0013] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0014] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setup," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0015] The technical solutions in this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] This application discloses a water trough for aquaculture. Please refer to... Figure 1 The drinking trough includes a trough body 1, with support plates 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the trough body 1. Both the trough body 1 and the support plates 2 are covered with an insulation layer 3. The support plates 2 are used to seal both ends of the trough body 1 and support it on the ground. A heating plate 4 is installed inside the trough body 1 and is electrically connected to a power source.

[0017] The support plate 2 is equipped with a valve 22 for draining the remaining water in the tank 1 or for draining water when cleaning the tank 1. A power supply provides electrical energy to the heating plate 4, causing it to heat up. The heating plate 4 is a low-power model with a maximum heating temperature not exceeding 40℃, used to heat the water in the tank 1. The insulation layer 3 is made of heat-insulating materials such as PUR board or EPS board, used to greatly reduce the rate of water temperature loss and prevent long-term damage to livestock caused by excessively low drinking water temperatures.

[0018] After water is added to the tank 1, the water surface is directly exposed to the cold external environment, resulting in rapid water temperature dissipation or excessive temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the tank 1. Therefore, in some embodiments, the support plate 2 is provided with a circular sliding groove 21, within which a cover plate 5 is slidably connected. The outer surface of the cover plate 5 is also covered with an insulation layer 3. Both the tank 1 and the cover plate 5 have semi-circular cross-sections.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2 Rollers 51 are rotatably connected to both ends of the cover plate 5, and the rollers 51 roll against the sliding groove 21. The radius of the cover plate 5 is larger than the radius of the tank body 1. When the cover plate 5 is open, the inner side of the cover plate 5 fits against the outer side of the tank body 1. When the cover plate 5 is closed, it can seal the upper part of the tank body 1, so that the water in the tank body 1 is isolated from the cold external environment, further reducing the rate of water surface temperature loss.

[0020] Furthermore, a limiting plate 52 is provided on one side of the cover plate 5. The limiting plate 52 protrudes to the inner side of the cover plate 5. When the cover plate 5 is in the closed state, the limiting plate 52 abuts against one side of the groove 1. When the cover plate 5 is in the open state, the limiting plate 52 abuts against the other side of the groove 1, thereby preventing the cover plate 5 from rotating freely along the sliding groove 21. Figure 1 As shown.

[0021] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The limiting plate 52 also acts as a counterweight. When the cover 5 is closed, after the limiting plate 52 crosses the normal position of the middle of the water surface, it can automatically fall and close the cover 5 due to its own weight. When the cover 5 is opened, the limiting plate 52 can also abut against the edge of the tank 1 due to its own weight, so that the cover 5 is fully open, making it easy for livestock to put their heads into the tank 1 to drink water. A handle 55 is installed on the outer side of the cover 5 for manually controlling the position of the cover 5.

[0022] In some embodiments, an ultraviolet lamp 53 is installed on the inner side of the cover plate 5, and a limit switch for opening / closing the ultraviolet lamp 53 is installed on the side of the groove 1. When the cover plate 5 is in the open state, the limit plate 52 triggers the limit switch to control the ultraviolet lamp 53 to turn off. Figure 1 As shown.

[0023] Before livestock drink water, water can be poured into the trough 1 and the cover 5 closed to allow the heating plate 4 to heat the water. Simultaneously, with the cover 5 closed, the ultraviolet lamp 53 is on, disinfecting the water while heating it, thus maintaining a safe environment and safe water use within the trough 1. When livestock begin to drink, the cover 5 is opened, and the limit plate 52 triggers the travel switch 54 to turn off the ultraviolet lamp 53, reducing the risk of damage to the livestock's skin and eyes from ultraviolet radiation.

[0024] Furthermore, the power source includes any one or more combinations of mains power, photovoltaic power generation device and wind power generation device, and the power source is connected to a battery, which is electrically connected to the heating plate 4 and the ultraviolet lamp 53.

[0025] Specifically, when the power source is mains power, the heating plate 4 is directly connected via a control switch, and the ultraviolet lamp 53 is connected via a limit switch 54; when the power source is a combination of a photovoltaic power generation device and a wind power generation device, the heating plate 4 and the ultraviolet lamp 53 are connected via a battery, so that the electrical energy generated by solar or wind power can be stored via the battery.

[0026] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0027] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
