Description

The invention relates to a troughs for livestock, which is suitable for a combined summer and winter operation.

Trough drinkers are known either as troughs only for tilting or panning or only for emptying via a stopper or a drain.

In DE 29 908 105 U1 a tipping potion with an elongated drinking trough and a frame side part is described, are attached to the support means. In this case, the drinking trough has a base, a first and a second longitudinal side wall and transverse to the longitudinal extension side walls, wherein on each side wall depending on a stub axle is fixed, whose central axes extend in the longitudinal direction. The stub axles are arranged at a first distance from the central longitudinal axis of the drinking trough in the vertical direction and at a second distance from the central longitudinal axis in the direction of the first longitudinal side wall. In this case, a support is provided at a third distance from the central longitudinal axis in the direction of the second longitudinal side wall and arranged on the second longitudinal side wall a vertical in the rest position handlebar.

DE 19934577 C1 describes a cattle drinker with a sturdy frame and one or more bowl-shaped drinking bowls, which are arranged side by side in a favorable for cattle for drinking height. It is understood as a frame and a wall mounting. The water bowls have a size and shape adapted to the anatomy of the animal's head and have a drain at its lowest point.

A frost-proof potions with constant liquid level for outdoor use and a drain is in DE 69 811 008 T2 described.

From the German utility model 82 05 204.2 For example, a trough-type trough for livestock is known which has an elongated drinking trough which rests on supports lying transversely to the longitudinal extent of the trough. These supports are provided with support feet, whereby the trough on the ground or a floor can be parked. This trough is provided with a level controlled inlet, which ensures a provision of liquid in the drinking trough.

In the DE 20 2012 100 163 U1 described trough drinker for summer and winter operation is equipped and manufactured so that a cleaning and emptying of the potions on the one hand by tilting the potion trough and on the other hand by draining by pulling a plug is possible.

Tilting drinkers have the disadvantage of a higher effort compared to simple trough drinks without tipping. When emptying pure tilting drinkers, a wet floor is created by dumping, which is particularly disadvantageous in winter, since dumped water freezes and the animals and also humans can slip out. The animals no longer dare go to the potions, absorb too little or no more water, which can have a negative effect on milk production. When using straw, dumping is also unsuitable. If antifreeze valves are used in winter, no direct discharge of the dripping water into a sewer is possible.

Drinkers with a plug have the disadvantage that an emptying or an outflow takes place deliberately via a permanently installed drainpipe. Drained water can not be used in summer to clean the drinking water environment. A quick cleaning is not possible.

The object of the invention is to propose a trough drinker for a combined summer and winter operation, in which there is the possibility of changing the Entleerungsart according to the season. The trough potions should be simple, easy and quick to replace and inexpensive to produce.

According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Ausgestaltende features are described in the subclaims 2 to 7.

The trough for summer and winter operation is carried out with a drinking trough and at least two lateral fastening parts, wherein the trough has a bottom with a drain opening, side walls and lying transverse to the longitudinal end face walls. In the bottom of the drinking trough two drainage openings are arranged so that an outlet nozzle has a free outlet and a drainage nozzle is connected to a drainage system. Drainage holes can be closed with a drain plug.

There are various ways of securing the drain plug. Thus, a lockable strap can be arranged to lock the drain plug over the drain plug. The drain plug can be screwed into the drain opening or closed by means of a bayonet lock. The drain plug may also contain a closable drain tap.

The outer diameter of the discharge nozzle is preferably smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge system.

The lateral fastening parts can be designed both as a wall mount horizontally or as a floor mount with vertical feet, the bottom of the pot trough can rest laterally mounted on the mounting parts cross member pads. Another possibility is that the lateral fastening parts are on the front walls of the drinking trough mounted sleeves into which a stand profile can be inserted and locked.

An additional bracing may be provided between the lateral attachment members. With small distances to each other and if the fasteners are sufficiently attached to the ground or on the wall, additional bracing can be omitted.

A filling is possible in different ways, for example by an inlet with a float valve or a solenoid valve. A regulation can take place via a sensor. An additional frost protection valve is not intended for filling, but serves only for frost protection. When using antifreeze valves in winter, a direct discharge of the dripping water into a sewer line can take place, which again reduces the risk of slipping. There is an increase in safety for humans and animals. The drinker may have a continuous tube for connection to a circulation system.

The advantages of the invention are that a simple choice of the type of emptying in a single potion is made possible. As a result, a quick change between the two options is given, especially in a change of seasons between summer and winter operation with open stable housing. There is an increase in safety for humans and animals.

The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.

A first embodiment is in 1 shown. It shows an exploded view of the details of a trough-type drinker for a combined summer and winter operation. The 2 shows a trough with a wall connection in the assembled state. In 3 is a trough with footrests shown.

The trough-pot after 1 and 2 with a wall mount has a drinking trough 1 with a floor 3 , two lower angled side walls 4 and transverse to the longitudinal extension end walls 5 on. Approximately in the middle of the drinking trough 1 one serves between the side walls 4 fortified strut 16 a higher stability.

The fastening parts 2 consist in the illustrated embodiment, each of a wall plate, each with a horizontal cross member support 14 ,

In the ground 3 the drinking trough 1 are two separate drain holes each provided with a pipe socket, wherein an outlet nozzle 7 has a free outlet and a drain neck 8th to a discharge system 11 is connectable. The drainage holes are each with a lockable drain plug 9 closable. With the help of the two drainage holes it is ensured that the outlet of drinking water can be opened by opening the drain plugs 9 the outlet nozzle 7 or drain outlet 8th can be done. In summer this can be done via the outlet 7 drainage effluent water used to clean the environment of the potions or optionally via the drain pipe 8th into the discharge system 11 be derived. In winter, the drain water drain can also be used exclusively via the drainage system 11 respectively.

The one with a handle 12 equipped drain plugs 9 can also be screwed into the drain holes or closable by means of a bayonet lock.

The floor 3 the drinking trough 1 lies on both sides laterally on the fastening parts 2 fixed crossmember pads 14 on and is by means of fastening screws 13 screwed.

The potions can with a continuous pipe, which has an opening in a front wall 5 be equipped for use in circulation systems. In addition, a heater and various types of filling can be provided at different locations. To protect the fittings contained is a hinged cover 6 intended.

A possible variant is that instead of a wall mount a standing version is provided.

The fastening parts 2 are in the exemplary embodiment after 3 U-shaped U-profiles with each 2 footrests 10 and one upper cross member support each 14 , For ground mounting are at each footrest 10 Welded foot plates, which also allow screwing on the floor. To stabilize are at the two fastening parts 2 between the front and rear footrests 10 one strut each 15 screwed by means of fastening screws.

In 4 is a lateral attachment of the drinking trough 1 represented by means of at the end walls 5 the drinking trough 1 both sides attached sleeves 18 is formed. The pods 18 can be bolted or welded on the front sides. The pods 18 can be round or as shown formed as square sleeves. A fixed to the floor or a wall stand profile, preferably the profile of the sleeves 18 corresponds, is in the sleeves 18 insertable and by means of clamping screws in threaded holes 19 lockable. With this solution, a quick replacement by simply plugging the Standprofiles in the sleeves is possible.

By the optional derivation can be prevented, on the one hand drain water can be used to clean the floor around the potions and on the other hand drain water can not reach the floor, so that unwanted contamination or freezing can be prevented, so that animals or people do not slip or can not be unsettled.
