Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming technology, specifically to a water trough for chickens that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] In the early days, to address the shortage of meat, my country imported large numbers of broiler chickens for large-scale farming. While broiler chickens are characterized by rapid growth, their meat quality is not ideal. As living standards have improved, people have increasingly sought to satisfy their taste buds. Free-range chickens, due to their greater exercise and longer rearing period, produce meat of superior quality and higher safety, making them increasingly popular with consumers, leading to growing demand. However, in free-range farming, the chickens are scattered outdoors, making it impossible to use automated watering lines like with caged chickens; water troughs need to be placed in different locations.

[0003] However, existing easy-to-clean chicken water troughs usually involve rinsing off the dirt attached to the inner wall of the trough. But as the water trough is used for a long time, impurities in the water will continue to adhere to the inner wall of the trough. The rinsing method cannot completely remove the impurities attached to the inner wall, resulting in poor cleaning effect and chickens being prone to disease after drinking the water.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example 1: This example aims to help solve the problem of how to improve the cleaning effect inside the water tank body 4. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 A chicken water trough that is easy to clean includes a base 1. An installation head 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 1. A water storage bottle 3 is embedded inside the installation head 2. The water storage bottle 3 can store a large amount of water. A water trough body 4 is opened on the side of the base 1 away from the installation head 2. A connecting part 5 is provided on the base 1 near the installation head 2. The connecting part 5 can automatically replenish the water inside the water trough body 4, thereby ensuring the liquid level inside the water trough body 4. A cleaning mechanism 6 is provided inside the water trough body 4. The cleaning mechanism 6 can scrape off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the water trough body 4. A locking mechanism 7 is provided inside the installation head 2. The locking mechanism 7 not only facilitates the user to replace the water storage bottle 3, but also ensures the stability of the installation of the water storage bottle 3. A controller with a battery is provided on the side of the base 1 away from the water trough body 4.

[0021] The cleaning mechanism 6 includes a circular block 61 located at the center of the interior of the water tank body 4. L-shaped fixing rods 62 are fixedly connected to both sides of the circular block 61. Matching scrapers 63 are provided between the L-shaped fixing rods 62 and the water tank body 4. The L-shaped fixing rods 62 and the scrapers 63 can fit against the inner wall of the water tank body 4. The two scrapers 63 are respectively fixedly connected to the L-shaped fixing rods 62. A rotating shaft 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular block 61. The rotating shaft 64 is rotatably connected to the base 1. A limiting device is provided at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 64. The positioning component 65 not only controls the rotation of the circular block 61, thereby allowing the L-shaped fixing rod 62 and the scraper 63 to scrape away dirt on the inner wall of the drinking tank body 4, but also limits the L-shaped fixing rod 62 and the scraper 63 when cleaning stops, achieving the purpose of locking. A drain port 66 is provided on one side of the drinking tank body 4, and a solenoid valve 67 is installed inside the drain port 66. The cooperation between the drain port 66 and the solenoid valve 67 can discharge the sewage inside the drinking tank body 4 to the outside of the device.

[0022] The limiting component 65 includes a gear 651 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 64. A limiting wheel 652 is coupled to one side of the gear 651. Grooves are provided on both sides of the gear 651. The limiting wheel 652 limits the gear 651 through the grooves. Several teeth 653 are provided on the side of the limiting wheel 652 away from the gear 651. The teeth 653 are adapted to the gear 651. A toggle rod 654 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting wheel 652. A matching rhomboid block 655 is provided on one side of the toggle rod 654. The rhomboid block 655 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 64. The toggle rod 654 can push the rhomboid block 655 to rotate, so that the gear 651 meshes with the teeth 653 on the surface of the limiting wheel 652. A motor 656 is installed at the top center of the limiting wheel 652. The motor 656 is fixed inside the base 1.

[0023] In this embodiment: The motor 656 is started, and its output drives the limiting wheel 652 to rotate. Simultaneously, the limiting wheel 652 rotates, driving the actuating rod 654 and the gear teeth 653. The actuating rod 654, while rotating, pushes the rhomboid block 655, which in turn drives the gear 651, causing it to mesh with the gear teeth 653. This results in the gear 651 rotating intermittently by 180 degrees. Simultaneously, the gear 651, through the rotating shaft 64, drives the circular block 61, which in turn drives the L-shaped fixing rod 62. 2. The scraper 63 is driven to scrape off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the drinking trough body 4. When the motor 656 stops, the arc-shaped surface of the limiting wheel 652 couples with the groove of the gear 651, thereby limiting the gear 651 and preventing the L-shaped fixing rod 62 from rotating. This not only scrapes off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the drinking trough regularly, but also limits the L-shaped fixing rod 62 when it is not in use, preventing the L-shaped fixing rod 62 from rotating due to water flow when the chickens are drinking, which would frighten the chickens and improve its practicality.

[0024] Example 2: This example aims to facilitate the replacement of water storage bottle 3 by the user. This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to Example 1. Figures 1-5 The locking mechanism 7 includes several steel balls 71 embedded inside the mounting head 2. A compression ring 72 is fixedly connected to the mounting head 2 near the steel balls 71. A connecting ring 73 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the compression ring 72. A pressing ring 74 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting ring 73. When the user presses down the pressing ring 74, the pressing ring 74 can drive the compression ring 72 through the connecting ring 73. An annular movable groove 75 is provided on the inner wall of the compression ring 72. When the annular movable groove 75 moves to the steel balls 71, it can increase the range of motion of the steel balls 71. An annular slot 76 is provided on the water bottle 3 near the steel balls 71. The steel balls 71 can lock the mouth of the water bottle 3 inside the mounting head 2 through the annular slot 76. Both the annular slot 76 and the annular movable groove 75 are adapted to the steel balls 71.

[0025] A spring 8 is provided at the bottom of the compression ring 72. The spring 8 can apply an upward thrust to the compression ring 72. A matching stroke groove 9 is provided near the connecting ring 73 of the mounting head 2. The stroke groove 9 can limit the movement stroke of the pressing ring 74, the connecting ring 73 and the compression ring 72.

[0026] The connecting member 5 includes an internal water outlet 51, which is connected to the drinking water tank body 4 via a connecting groove 52. The water outlet 51, the connecting groove 52, and the drinking water tank body 4 form a connecting device, so that the water level inside the drinking water tank body 4 is always consistent with the mouth of the water storage bottle 3. A barrier net 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 52 near the drinking water tank body 4. The barrier net 53 can prevent floating objects inside the drinking water tank body 4 from entering the interior of the connecting groove 52.

[0027] In this embodiment: Water inside the water storage bottle 3 flows into the inner wall of the water outlet trough 51 due to gravity, and the water flows into the interior of the drinking trough body 4 through the connecting groove 52. When the water level in the water outlet trough 51, the connecting groove 52, and the interior of the drinking trough body 4 is level with the mouth of the water storage bottle 3, the water inside the water storage bottle 3 stops flowing out. When the water level drops, the water inside the water storage bottle 3 flows out, achieving the purpose of automatic replenishment. This ensures that the water level inside the drinking trough body 4 is always maintained at a certain height. When the user replaces the water storage bottle 3, the pressing ring 74 is pressed down. The pressing ring 74 drives the squeezing ring 72 through the connecting ring 73, causing the movable ring on the squeezing ring 72 to... The moving groove moves to the steel ball 71, increasing the range of motion of the steel ball 71, allowing the water bottle 3 to be pulled upwards. After replacement, the bottle mouth of the water bottle 3 is inserted into the installation head 2. The pressing ring 74 is released, and the spring 8 pushes the squeezing ring 72 to rise and reset. As the squeezing ring 72 rises, the annular moving groove 75 separates from the steel ball 71, and the squeezing ring 72 squeezes the steel ball 71, causing a small part of the steel ball 71 to enter the annular slot 76 of the water bottle 3, thereby fixing the water bottle 3 inside the installation head 2. This not only makes it convenient for users to replace the water bottle 3, but also ensures the stability of the water bottle 3 after installation, preventing the water bottle 3 from loosening and tipping over.
