Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to an antifreeze drinking water trough for farms in cold regions. Background Technology

[0002] High-altitude pastoral areas typically refer to livestock production areas at altitudes above 3,000 meters and with an average annual temperature below 0°C. These areas are characterized by severe cold, large diurnal temperature variations, and prolonged periods of low temperatures. In livestock and poultry farming in high-altitude pastoral areas, water troughs are the core equipment for ensuring livestock and poultry access to water and feed. They not only store drinking water but also hold liquid feed, providing livestock and poultry with a stable supply of water and nutrients, which plays a vital role in maintaining their normal growth and development.

[0003] However, existing water troughs generally lack dedicated insulation or heating structures designed for the low-temperature environments of high-altitude pastoral areas. In practical applications, when drinking water or liquid feed is added to the trough, the heat from the medium inside the trough dissipates rapidly due to the low external temperature, causing the water or feed temperature to drop sharply below freezing, resulting in freezing. When livestock and poultry drink cold water or eat cold liquid feed, it easily irritates the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, indigestion, and other illnesses, severely affecting their growth performance and health. When the medium in the water trough completely freezes, it directly blocks the livestock's drinking and feeding channels, causing dehydration, feed shortages, and even leading to stunted growth and weight loss in the flock. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides an antifreeze drinking trough for livestock farms in cold regions. The drinking trough can keep warm by setting up insulation material in the interlayer, reducing the impact of the external environment on the temperature of drinking water and liquid feed. At the same time, by setting up an internal heating mechanism and temperature sensor, it can be used to monitor the internal water temperature. Combined with an external controller, it can realize automatic heating to avoid the temperature being too low or even freezing, which would affect the livestock's drinking water.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a frost-proof drinking water trough for aquaculture farms in cold regions includes a main body of the drinking water trough, with a sandwich layer and heat insulation material installed inside the sandwich layer; Connecting plate, install the main body of the drinking trough on the outside of the fence of the farm and adjust the installation height; A water level monitoring mechanism and a temperature sensor are installed at the inner end of the main body of the water tank near the water inlet. The water level monitoring mechanism and the temperature sensor are connected to a controller on the outer side of the main body of the water tank. A heating mechanism is installed at the water inlet position at the inner end of the main body of the water tank and in the interlayer. The heating mechanism is electrically connected to the controller.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting plate has connecting holes at both ends for connecting with the fence of the breeding farm, and a strip hole in the middle of the connecting plate. The main body of the drinking trough is connected to the strip hole of the connecting plate through the connecting lugs on the side.

[0007] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is provided on one side of the main body of the water trough, and a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the other side of the main body of the water trough. An installation plate is provided on the side of the main body of the water trough near the water inlet pipe. The water level monitoring mechanism is installed on the installation plate and inserted into the main body of the water trough. A vertically installed support rod is also provided on the side of the inner end of the main body of the water trough near the water inlet pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the water level monitoring mechanism includes a buoyancy plate and a pressure plate. The buoyancy plate is sleeved on the support rod and floats on the liquid surface inside the main body of the drinking tank. The top of the pressure plate passes through the mounting plate via an adjusting rod. An external thread is provided at the outer end of the adjusting rod to engage with the mounting plate. A handwheel is provided at the top of the adjusting rod. The bottom of the pressure plate contacts the outer end of the buoyancy plate, and a touch switch is provided on the pressure plate. When the buoyancy plate contacts the pressure plate, the touch switch is closed to control the water inlet pipe to stop water intake through the controller. When the buoyancy plate separates from the pressure plate, the touch switch is opened to control the water inlet pipe to intake through the controller.

[0009] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes a first heating tube and a second heating tube. The first heating tube is inserted into the main body of the water tank and located below the mounting plate. The second heating tube is inserted into the interlayer of the main body of the water tank. Both the first heating tube and the second heating tube are electrically connected to the controller to control the start and stop of the water tank by means of the temperature signal monitored in real time by the temperature sensor inside the main body of the water tank.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate is further provided with a baffle, which passes through the mounting plate, inserts into the main body of the drinking trough, and contacts the bottom of the main body of the drinking trough.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This technical solution effectively blocks the conduction of extreme low temperatures from high-altitude pastoral areas into the tank through the insulation material within the tank's interlayer, reducing the rate of heat loss from drinking water and liquid feed. Simultaneously, the built-in heating mechanism and temperature sensor, in conjunction with an external controller, form an automatic temperature control system. This system monitors the temperature of the medium within the tank in real time. When the temperature falls below a preset threshold, the controller automatically activates the heating mechanism; when the temperature reaches a suitable range, heating automatically stops, achieving precise and constant temperature control. This design completely prevents the medium within the tank from freezing and blocking the drinking and feeding channels, ensuring that livestock and poultry can continuously access liquid drinking water and liquid feed even in frigid environments, thus guaranteeing the continuity of the breeding process.

[0012] Meanwhile, this technical solution can easily control the water level of the internal drinking water by setting up a liquid level monitoring mechanism. During the dry summer season, livestock drink more water, so the internal water level can be increased to expand the water storage capacity and facilitate drinking. During the cold winter season, livestock drink less water, so the internal water level can be lowered, thereby reducing the heating power required during heating and reducing the power output.

[0016] As described in the background section, in existing high-altitude pastoral areas, the water temperature in drinking troughs is easily too low or even freezes due to the low temperature environment, which affects the drinking water of livestock.

[0017] For the reasons stated above, please refer to the appendix for solutions to these problems.

A heating mechanism is installed at the water inlet position at the inner end of the main body 2 of the drinking water tank and in the interlayer. The heating mechanism is electrically connected to the controller.

[0018] To facilitate adjustment of the installation height of the main body of the water trough to accommodate livestock at different growth stages, in this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting plate 1 are provided with connecting holes for connection with the fence of the farm, and a strip hole is opened in the middle of the connecting plate 1.
