Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding technology, specifically to an adjustable drinking trough for livestock breeding. Background Technology

[0002] In sheep farming, sheep need fresh water every day to maintain normal physiological functions. As a key infrastructure to ensure the healthy growth of livestock, the technical performance of drinking water equipment directly affects farming efficiency and animal welfare. Traditional sheep farms generally use fixed and simple drinking water equipment, which cannot be adjusted according to the body characteristics of sheep at different growth stages. Lambs, growing sheep and adult sheep have significant differences in body height. Drinking troughs of fixed height will make it difficult for lambs to drink water, while for adult sheep, they may be too low and pollute the water quality, forcing sheep to adopt unnatural postures to drink water. In the long run, this will affect their water intake and growth and development. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing an adjustable drinking trough for livestock farming that is simple in structure, reasonably designed, and easy to use. The trough height can be precisely and smoothly adjusted through a motor drive and linkage mechanism. Its sturdy support frame and auxiliary guide design ensure rigidity and anti-shaking ability during operation. At the same time, it integrates heating, convenient movement and buffer protection functions, which significantly improves the practicality, automation level and adaptability of the equipment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a tank body, with a drain pipe provided on one side of the tank body; and further includes: A support frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body; A fixed frame is slidably inserted into a support frame; a fixing block is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame. The positioning frame is fixedly set on the upper side of the fixing block, and the upper surface of the positioning frame is flush with the upper surface of the fixing frame. An adjustment component is disposed between the positioning frame and the groove body; Through the above technical solution design, the adjustment component drives the tank body, changes the height of the tank body, and drives the support frame to move on the fixed frame.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the adjustment component includes: The hinge seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the groove body and has an inverted "U" shaped structure; a support shaft is screwed through the hinge seat via a bearing. The adjusting motor is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of one side of the positioning frame by a motor bracket, and the output end of the adjusting motor is connected to a bidirectional screw. The movable blocks are two in number, which are respectively threaded onto two sets of threaded sections with opposite directions on a bidirectional screw; and the movable blocks are slidably contacted on the surface of the fixed blocks. The first connector consists of two parts, which are respectively hinged to the front and rear sides of the moving block on the left side via hinge shafts, and the upper end of the first connector is sleeved and fixed on the support shaft. The second connector is located between the two first connectors and is sleeved and fixed on the support shaft. The bottom of the second connector is fixedly provided with the third connector, which has an inverted "U" shaped structure. The front and rear sides of the third connector are respectively hinged to the front and rear sides of the right-side moving block through hinge shafts. By starting the adjustment motor, the bidirectional screw rotates, causing the two moving blocks to move synchronously relative to each other or in opposite directions. Through the hinged connection of the first, second, and third connecting parts, the hinged seat is driven, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the height of the tank body.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, support blocks are provided on both the left and right sides of the positioning frame, and the support blocks are fixedly mounted on the fixing block. A connecting frame is movably sleeved on the support block, and the connecting frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the groove body. The above technical solution design increases the stability of the tank body when it moves.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of both the front and rear sides of the tank body is provided with a cover, and a heating rod is provided inside the cover. The above technical solution is used to heat the water inside the tank.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a buffer pad is provided on the upper side of the fixed frame; With the above technical solution design, when the tank body moves downward and contacts the buffer pad, it is at the lowest point of the tank body, and the buffer pad can play a role in buffering and limiting.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the fixing block is provided with casters; The above technical solution design facilitates the movement of the tank body.

[0010] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the height of the tank body needs to be adjusted, the adjustment motor fixed on the positioning frame is started. The rotation output of the adjustment motor directly drives the bidirectional screw connected to it to rotate. The bidirectional screw is provided with two sections of threads with opposite directions of rotation, and the two moving blocks respectively mesh with these two sections of threads. Therefore, when the bidirectional screw rotates, the two moving blocks will make synchronous or opposite linear movements on the upper surface of the fixed block, that is, they will move closer to each other or further away from each other. When the two moving blocks move relative to each other, that is, they move closer to each other, they will push or pull the connecting parts that are hinged to them respectively. The left moving block pushes the support shaft upward through the two No. 1 connecting parts. The right moving block pushes the support shaft upward through the No. 3 connecting part and the No. 2 connecting part. Since the support shaft is fixedly installed in the "U"-shaped hinge seat, and the hinge... The connecting seat is fixed to the bottom of the tank body, so the upward movement of the support shaft directly lifts the entire tank body. Conversely, when the two moving blocks move in opposite directions, i.e., move away from each other, they will pull the support shaft downward through the connecting parts, thereby reducing the height of the tank body. During the lifting and lowering of the tank body, the support frame fixed to its bottom slides along the fixed frame, providing the main vertical guidance and support. At the same time, the connecting frames on both sides of the bottom of the tank body slide on the support blocks fixed to the fixed blocks, forming additional auxiliary support points, effectively preventing the tank body from shaking or deflecting during the lifting and lowering process, ensuring smooth and precise movement. When the tank body descends to the lowest position, its bottom or support frame will contact the buffer pad on the upper side of the fixed frame. The buffer pad plays a role in cushioning impact and hard limiting, protecting the structure from damage.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By adopting a combination of a bidirectional screw and linkage mechanism driven by an adjustable motor, stepless and precise adjustment of the tank body height is achieved; the transmission is smooth and the positioning is accurate, which can meet the specific requirements of different processes or application scenarios for the tank body height; 2. The sliding fit between the support frame and the fixed frame constitutes the main support and guiding system, supplemented by the auxiliary support of the connecting frame and the support block, forming a stable frame structure. This multi-point and multi-directional support design effectively resists the lateral force or torsion that may be generated during the lifting and lowering of the tank body and when carrying liquid, ensuring the reliability and durability of the equipment operation. 3. Lifting and lowering can be easily achieved by simply controlling the direction of the motor. The operation is simple and labor-saving, and it is easy to achieve automatic control, which improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The fixed frame 3 is slidably inserted into the support frame 2; a buffer pad 10 is provided on the upper side of the fixed frame 3; a fixed block 4 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 3; and a caster wheel 11 is provided at the bottom of the fixed block 4. The positioning frame 5 is fixedly set on the upper side of the fixing block 4, and the upper surface of the positioning frame 5 is flush with the upper surface of the fixing frame 3; support blocks 7 are provided on both the left and right sides of the positioning frame 5, and the support blocks 7 are fixedly set on the fixing block 4. A connecting frame 8 is movably sleeved on the support block 7, and the connecting frame 8 is fixedly set at the bottom of the tank body 1. Adjustment component 6 is disposed between positioning frame 5 and groove body 1; Through the above technical solution design, the adjustment component 6 drives the tank body 1, changes the height of the tank body 1, and drives the support frame 2 to move on the fixed frame 3.

[0020] Example 2: Please see Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, the adjustment component 6 is further improved and includes: The hinge seat 6-1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the groove body 1, and the hinge seat 6-1 is configured with an inverted "U" shape; a support shaft 6-2 is screwed through the hinge seat 6-1 via a bearing. The adjusting motor 6-3 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of one side of the positioning frame 5 by a motor bracket. The specific model of the adjusting motor 6-3 is purchased and installed directly from the market according to the actual usage requirements. The output end of the adjusting motor 6-3 is connected to a bidirectional screw 6-4. The movable block 6-5 consists of two blocks, which are respectively threaded onto two sets of threaded sections with opposite directions on the bidirectional screw 6-4; and the movable block 6-5 is slidably contacted on the surface of the fixed block 4. Connector 6-6, there are two connectors 6-6, which are respectively hinged to the front and rear sides of the moving block 6-5 on the left side by hinge shafts, and the upper end of connector 6-6 is sleeved and fixed on the support shaft 6-2. The second connector 6-7 is positioned between the two first connectors 6-6 and is sleeved and fixed on the support shaft 6-2. The bottom of the second connector 6-7 is fixedly provided with a third connector 6-8, which has an inverted "U" shaped structure. The front and rear sides of the third connector 6-8 are respectively hinged to the front and rear sides of the right-side movable block 6-5 via hinge shafts. Through the above technical solution design, the adjustment motor 6-3 is started, causing the bidirectional screw 6-4 to rotate, which moves the two moving blocks 6-5 synchronously relative to each other or in opposite directions. Through the hinged connection of the first connecting piece 6-6, the second connecting piece 6-7 and the third connecting piece 6-8, the hinge seat 6-1 is driven, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the height of the tank body 1.

[0021] When using this utility model, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the tank body 1, the adjustment motor 6-3 fixed on the positioning frame 5 is started. The rotation output of the adjustment motor 6-3 directly drives the bidirectional screw 6-4 connected to it to rotate. The bidirectional screw 6-4 is provided with two sections of threads with opposite directions of rotation. The two moving blocks 6-5 respectively mesh with these two sections of threads. Therefore, when the bidirectional screw 6-4 rotates, the two moving blocks 6-5 will make synchronous or opposite linear movements on the upper surface of the fixed block 4, that is, they will move closer to each other or further away from each other. When the two moving blocks 6-5 move relative to each other, that is, they move closer to each other, they will push or pull the connecting parts that are hinged to them respectively. The left moving block 6-5 pushes the support shaft 6-2 upward through the two No. 1 connecting parts 6-6. The right moving block 6-5 also pushes the support shaft 6-2 upward through the No. 3 connecting part 6-8 and the No. 2 connecting part 6-7. Since the support shaft 6-2 is fixedly installed on the "U" The support shaft 6-2 is fixed to the bottom of the tank body 1, so the upward movement of the support shaft 6-2 directly lifts the entire tank body 1. Conversely, when the two moving blocks 6-5 move in opposite directions, i.e., move away from each other, they will pull the support shaft 6-2 downward through the connector, thereby reducing the height of the tank body 1. During the lifting and lowering of the tank body 1, the support frame 2 fixed to its bottom slides along the fixed frame 3, providing the main vertical guidance and support. At the same time, the connecting frames 8 on both sides of the bottom of the tank body 1 slide on the support blocks 7 fixed to the fixed blocks 4, forming additional auxiliary support points, effectively preventing the tank body 1 from shaking or deflecting during the lifting and lowering process, and ensuring the smoothness and precision of the movement. When the tank body 1 descends to the lowest position, its bottom or support frame 2 will contact the buffer pad 10 on the upper side of the fixed frame 3. The buffer pad 10 plays the role of buffering impact and hard limiting, protecting the structure from damage.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: By combining the bidirectional screw 6-4 driven by the adjustable motor 6-3 with the linkage mechanism, stepless and precise adjustment of the height of the tank body 1 is achieved; the transmission is smooth and the positioning is accurate, which can meet the specific requirements of different processes or application scenarios for the height of the tank body 1. The sliding cooperation between the support frame 2 and the fixed frame 3 constitutes the main support and guiding system, which is supplemented by the auxiliary support of the connecting frame 8 and the support block 7 to form a stable frame structure. This multi-point and multi-directional support design effectively resists the lateral force or torsion that may be generated during the lifting and lowering process of the tank body 1 and when carrying liquid, ensuring the reliability and durability of the equipment operation. Lifting and lowering can be easily achieved by simply controlling the direction of the adjusting motor 6-3. The operation is simple and labor-saving, easy to automate, and improves work efficiency. For those skilled in the art, modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, and equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
