Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock drinking water supply technology, and in particular relates to an automatic water replenishment device for pigs. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale pig farming, water supply is a crucial aspect of daily management. Traditional water troughs often rely on float valves to control water levels or manual, timed water replenishment, which has significant drawbacks. Float valves are prone to malfunction due to blockages, leading to uncontrolled water levels, water waste, or water supply interruptions. Manual water replenishment is inefficient and cannot guarantee stable water levels. Furthermore, pigs often bring feed residue into the troughs while drinking, and this organic matter decomposes rapidly in stagnant water, polluting the water and affecting pig health while increasing the workload of frequent trough cleaning. Existing systems lack effective physical isolation and self-purification capabilities, making it difficult to maintain drinking water hygiene while automatically maintaining water levels, thus hindering the improvement of farming management.

[0003] To address these issues, we provide an automatic water supply device for pigs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic water supply device for pigs. A water storage tank is installed above a water storage container. A water outlet pipe at the lower end of the water storage container passes through the upper surface of the water storage container and extends into the container. A set of water outlet holes are formed through the side wall of the water outlet pipe. A connecting pipe at one end of the water storage container is connected to a drinking trough. A filter sponge block is installed inside the connecting pipe. When the water level in the drinking trough drops, the water level in the water storage container drops accordingly. When the water level in the water storage container drops below the water outlet hole, air enters the water storage container through the water outlet hole, and water flows out of the water storage container until the water level surpasses the water outlet hole, preventing further water outflow and achieving automatic water supply. When livestock drink, feed residue adhering to their mouths is carried into the water trough. The filter sponge block blocks the food residue at one end of the connecting pipe, preventing it from entering the water storage container, contaminating the water, and reducing cleaning burden.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model relates to an automatic water supply device for pigs, comprising a water trough 1, a water storage tank 2, and a water storage bucket 3. The water storage bucket 3 is positioned above the water storage tank 2. A water outlet pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the water storage bucket 3. The water outlet pipe 301 penetrates the upper end face of the water storage tank 2, and the lower end face of the water outlet pipe 301 is closed. The lower end face of the water outlet pipe 301 is attached to the bottom of the water storage tank 2. A set of water outlet holes 301a are circumferentially arranged through the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 301. A bucket lid 3 is detachably placed on the upper end of the water storage bucket 3. 02. A connecting pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the lower side of one side of the water storage tank 2. The end of the connecting pipe 201 away from the water storage tank 2 is connected to the side of the drinking trough 1. A filter sponge block 201a is sleeved inside the end of the connecting pipe 201 near the drinking trough 1. Through the water outlet 301a set on the side wall of the water outlet pipe 301 of the water storage tank 3, the water outlet and stop of the water storage tank 3 are automatically controlled by the principle of communicating vessels and air pressure, so as to realize the accurate and stable maintenance of the water level of the drinking trough 1 and improve the reliability and automation of water supply.

[0026] Specifically, a filter frame 101 is fitted inside the water trough 1. The bottom frame and four side frames of the filter frame 101 are respectively covered with filter screens 101a. The filter screens 101a are attached to the inner wall of the water trough 1. The upper frame strips at both ends of the filter frame 101 are respectively fixed with lifting handles 101b. The filter frame 101 can effectively isolate solid impurities brought in by pigs when drinking water, prevent feed residue from sinking to the bottom of the trough and rotting. The lifting handles 101b are convenient to remove and clean regularly, which significantly improves the hygiene of drinking water.

[0027] Furthermore, a vent 202 is provided through the upper end of the water storage tank 2, and a filter cover 202a is detachably fitted inside the vent 202; the vent 202 ensures that the air pressure inside the water storage tank 2 is balanced with the atmospheric pressure, thus ensuring the accuracy of water level control; the filter cover 202a can effectively block dust and other pollutants from entering, keeping the water quality in the tank clean.

[0028] Furthermore, a transparent liquid level pipe 303 is installed on one side of the water storage tank 3. The axis of the transparent liquid level pipe 303 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The lower end of the transparent liquid level pipe 303 is connected to a U-shaped pipe 303a, and the other end of the U-shaped pipe 303a is connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 3. The upper end of the transparent liquid level pipe 303 is connected to the water storage tank 3 through a bend. The transparent liquid level pipe 303 displays the real-time water level in the water storage tank 3 intuitively through the principle of communicating vessels, which makes it convenient for managers to keep track of the water level at any time and replenish it in a timely manner.

[0029] Furthermore, a liquid level float 303b is vertically slidably sleeved inside the transparent liquid level tube 303. A water-permeable hole 303b-1 is opened through the end face of the liquid level float 303b. The outer diameter of the liquid level float 303b is smaller than the inner diameter of the transparent liquid level tube 303. The liquid level float 303b moves with the rise and fall of the water level, and its bright color forms a clear contrast with the water surface, further improving the convenience of water level identification. The water-permeable hole 303b-1 ensures smooth liquid passage and avoids false water level indications.

[0030] Furthermore, inner flanges 303c are fixed to the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the transparent liquid level tube 303, respectively. The inner diameter of the inner flange 303c is smaller than the outer diameter of the liquid level float 303b. The inner flange 303c constitutes an effective mechanical limit, preventing the liquid level float 303b from falling out of the tube when the liquid level fluctuates violently, thus ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the indicating device.

[0031] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the pigs drink water from the drinking trough 1, causing the water level to drop, the water level in the storage tank 2 drops synchronously. When the water level drops below the outlet hole 301a of the outlet pipe 301, air enters the storage tank 3 through the outlet hole 301a, breaking the siphon effect, and causing the water in the storage tank 3 to flow into the storage tank 2 from the outlet hole 301a. As the water level rises, when the outlet hole 301a is sealed by water, the storage tank 3 stops discharging water, thereby automatically maintaining the water level. Impurities such as feed residue in the drinking trough 1 are intercepted by the filter frame 101, and a small amount of impurities passing through the connecting pipe 201 are further filtered by the filter sponge block 201a, preventing pollutants from entering the storage tank 2. The management personnel can intuitively understand the remaining water in the storage tank 3 through the level float 303b in the transparent level pipe 303 and replenish the water source in time through the tank cover 302.
